Now Roughly 100 Miles
From Hongkong
The presence of a new typhoon depression about 100 miles south- west of Ilongkong led to the hoisting of No. 1 typhoon signal at 3.20 p.m. yesterday. By midnight last night the disturbance had moved slightly eastward, but, though It still con- stiluted n threat to the Colony, it was not considered necessary to hoist a more alarming signal.
At 3 p.m. the position of the typhoon was given as within 30 miles of intitude 21 degrees north, longitude 113 degrees cast. By midnight it had moved castward to latitude 21 degrees north, longitude 114 degrees cast. Its movement was thus not directly towarda Hongkong, but there in still a likelihood that it will veer the coast towards land and cross somewhere in the vicinity of the Colony.
Tho nearness of the
depression
made yesterday a gusty, rainy day in Hongkong, conditions being par- fleularly unpleasant in the afternoon. Between 4 a.m. and 9 p.m. 2.225 inches of rain were recorded at the Royal Observatory.
