Before noon the black biskai gave place to the red basket, which told the people that a typhoon was co milia cast of the colony. Then followed a remarkable sceno. Suddenly the waterfront along the entire Bund was gal.. vanized into strenuous life. Upon the thou. sands of sampans or email Chinese house and ferry boats several hundreds of thousands people who know no other home began shout ing and working in fenile energy. Moorings were hastily cast loose, cars were quickly got ten into place, sails were set and the strangest. procession of the strangest crafvin, the world began and held down the bay.

which constantly teems with a dones water population, was totally deserted. To all the broad expanse of the bay and the harbour, which is one of the largest in the world, not a single small craft was to be recs. They had all fed to Shelter Bay, which is near the west end of the city. There during a typhoon period they may be seen huddled together to closely that it is possible to walk from one to another across the entire bay. When the tide goes out the majority of them are stranded, high and dry in the mud, where the women and children may be seen diligently dis ging for clams and awaiting the return" of the tide which will Goat, the home and their boat, When the typhoon is passed or the danger of to hitting the town is over the sampans resume their wonted places along the Bund and their occupant recom. mence their terrible snuggle for a bare ex- Istence.
It is the sun pans and in the Chinese quarter of the elty that the destruction and loss of life is the greatest. The frail craft and the frail houses offer ieu plin. bait for the raging ty- phoon, which makes a clean sweep'of them when opportunity fors.

Previons in the big typhoon the signale showed a typhons to be close to the city and threatening to seach it. Among the 400 odd large ships in the harbour was the "Minnesota," and what occurred on board her, occurred on board all others. Captain Rinder ordered a full head of steam to be kept on con. stantly, the same as when the ship was at sea. The anchor was manned and seamen stood by to cast loose from the buoy, The entire force of the ship was stationed as when a storm at sea is raging, ready at a moment's notice to steam away and seek, the shelter offered by the lee side of some island in the Chinese archipelago,
