Extract from Kung Sheung Yat Po, Hong Kong, 1st Nov.,1926.

Passengers and cargoes on board river boats.

Yesterday the 6.8. Lung Shan reached Hong Kong at 3.p.m. with 62 passengers and a very small cargo. On the day before yesterday she proceeded to Canton with 93 passengers.

On the day before yesterday, the s.s. Tai Shan arrived at Hong Kong at 9 p.m. with 40 passengers,

100 baskets vegetables and 40 bales camlets, and she returned to Canton with 130 passenger s

The s.s. San Nam Hoi carried to Hong Kong 527 passengers and 1,223 packages of goods, and went back to Kong-mun with 384 passengers.

The s.s. Sai On came to Hong Kong at 3 p.m. with

1,017 passengers and 150 packages of piece goods, which

could not be landed on arrival at Canton, and were there-

fore sent back. The reason why this steamer had not much cargo, is because it was Sunday yesterday, and is

holiday for the Canton Customs.
