A few of the river steamboats also took shelter but services this morning to Macao and Canton left as usual.

It was also noticed that although there was a blow in the harbour, quite a number of the smaller coasting boats were still at their buoys,
As the day progressed, a good many left for Kowloon Bay and the seclusion of behind Stone- cutters Island.

In town the blow was not parti- cularly noticeable. But on the Peak and on the Praya, a stiff breeze, approsahing a moderate gale, was blowing.
It is thought that the typhoon -unless it swerves will be felt at its height to-night and that the storm will be over by to-morrow night.
