A collision between two ships well-known in Hongkong occurred at Swatow on Monday last but fortunately the mishap was only of a minor nature, with the result that both vessels were able to con- tinue their respective voyages.
The two vessels involved are the B, and S. steamer Kalgan, un-

More bandits summoned from the various parts of Hunan and on on the Hupch-Human frontier have been attracted to. Changsha to assist the Communist leaders in exploiting the "Red" success.
According to Capt, Stephens' re- port, the collision was only a "slight" one, occurring on July 28, but the hour was not stated. Lit- tle damage was sustained by the Kalgan, which is now lying at Buoy B 12, and, it is understood, will not go into dock for repairs.
