Singapore and Weihaiwei, at Port Darwin, Brisbane and at Sydney, at Manila and Iloilo, at Kobe and Tsingtau have contributed handsomely.

Paragraph 39.

1,170 sufferers were received into the Tung Wa Hospital of whom 320 are still there. On this and on the recovery and burial of 857 bodies the Hospital Authorities have expended $18,500 which will be charged to the Relief Fund. The Committee of that Fund have paid out $34,661 to 251 boat owners being about one-third the estimated cost of building new boats for them, for the appearance of which boats in the harbour in due course security has been taken. They have also paid $550 to 8 widows and orphans, $200 to a European Pilot who lost everything in the typhoon and $463.45 for the passages to England of Mrs. Maxfield, the wife of the late Captain of the lost S.S. "Hongkong" and her daughter. They have advanced $2,500 to the Officers in the New Territories to deal with cases of distress there. The total amount paid out of the Fund up to date has thus been $56,874.45.

Claims on account of 1,525 boats which will involve further payments estimated at about $250,000 are in various stages of investigation.
