The mine encountered by the Keshing, however, was a considerable distance south of the recognized danger area, though probably great care has been exercised by all skippers on the run from Tientsin and Newchwang to Shanghai, to guard against accident even out. side the danger Hae.
The approaching storm season in waters ad- jacent to this portion of the China coast has made navigators doubly cautious, but the dan. ger can be only slightly lassened, even with

Tuesday night. As mentioned in the columns | of the Daily News some time ago; the high. winds and heavy teas prevailing since the first of October have had a tendency to cause many of the mines laid at Port Arthur, Newchwang, and along the Manchurian coast generally, to escape their moorings, making them a serious: impediment to traffic in those welers. Vessels travelling along the coast north of Shanghai' aad in Pechili Gulf run great risks, and it is only accidents like that which has befallen the | Kashing which will call to the attention of the
general public the magnitude of those risks.
