The Opium Farmer's launch Wing-Awst looked a sorry object this morning with her stern partly tom offer fannel gone, and bows stove in. Three Junks foundered in the fairway, and in the Yau-ma-ti anchorage several stone-laden boats came to grief, and the schooner Montlara bad her bowsprit tore clean away.
The Empress of India (Capt. O. P. Marshall) didn't goscathless. She lost a boatthat was made fast to her stern and dragged her moorings for about 200 yards. She was able to get back to her old barth, none the worse for her unpleasant experiences, this morning. The Hygeia (hospital ship) felt the blow severely. She has been a good derable distance. The people on Stonecatters' desi strained and dragged her anchors for a con- island too, had a very rough time of it last night. Their windows were blown clean in, venetians torn off, and the men washed up a distance of 100 feet, flooding the quarters of the Superia. tendent of the powder magazines.

Yet no one feared evil, although the wind shifted | E. to North and later on to N. E, freshening during the afternoon very suddenly from E. 5. up gradually until 8 pm, by which time the sky was overcast and the wind unsteady and gusty. It was then only too apparent that Hongkong Nox, 21 & 14, QUEEN'S ROAD CENTRAL, was in for a aoitherly" buster," and those who had any doubts on the subject were soon convinced of the approach of danger by the loud report of the typhoon gun and a few minutes later the "White Star" liner Octante made algaels of distress by flag rockets, which could not, however, be responded to owing to the fact thai `À.

From 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. the scene along the Prays from Fedder's wharf to West Point wharf was as distressing as it was exciting, the waves making clean breaches over the Prayaand carrying on their crests the remains of fucks, cargo-boats and tampons which had been smashed to atoma against the Praya Reclamation wall a few moments before.
