Describing in detail the progress of the vessel up the Canton River. the pilot went on to say that they came across no fox until they had passed Tiger Island at 3.08 a.m. and from there they started using the fog signal. Before reaching Blake Point the Captain told him that if they could not see the Blake Point lights, they had better anchor as the fog was too thick. They passed the point, however, at 3.25 a.m. at slow speed; sometimes it was clear and sometimes it was foggy, continued the witness,

His reason for altering the course,, explained the pilot to Mr. Hall Brutton, was that while he was awaiting the captain's answer regarding his suggestion to anchor, it was time 'for the ship's course to be altered, Then the Chief Officer shouted out there were three sampans ahead

Reports that sugar interests are withdrawing from the Philippines, fearing the result of a plebiscite, are denied.
