Paraphrase of telegram from Governor Sir ". Nathan to tha

Parl of Migin.

(Received, Colonial Offics, b.30 p.m. 19th September, 1906.)

Referring to my talagram of yesterday re typhoon,

I regret to roport that there is strong evidence that Bishop Hoare, who was on dicoasan legation in New

Territories, has beon drownod. There has been great

loss of life among the Chinsas in colonial waters outside

the harbour as well as inside. It is impossible at

present to form an estimate but it probably amounts to

several thousand.
