of "iremendous thickness."
Tho Ulek mass of clouds swept down on the Colony from the south cast and within a few minutes the city and Kowloon were virtually in darkness.
In Howloon Tong and along Prince Edward

The suddenness of the "blackout" threw a heavy load on the Hongkong Electric and China Light & Power Company installations at North Point and Hok Un, the load being almost equal to that at night.
