THE PERILS OF SHANGHAI ESTUARY. FURTHER DETAILS OF THE RESCUE OF THE STR. PERSIA."

A THRILLING NARRATIVE,

From the further details available con- cerning the salving.of the str. Persia last week it will be seen, says the Y.-C. Daily News, that the officers of the Shanghai Tug and Lighter Company accompli-bed, very difficult and dangerous task in safely bringing the vessel to Shanghai.

As already reported, when the l'ersia ran on to the Amherst Rocks she was assisted by the Shanghai Pilot boat, and the pilot who went aboard had no other resource than to allow the vessel to drift on to the Tungsha Shoals in order to Prevent her sinking. The tugboats. St. Dominic, with Captains Josefsen and Roberts on board, and the St. Sampson, in command of Captain Anderson, lefa Shanghai on Wednesday morning last and, after being delayed through fog.

the Tungsha Bank, which is some 45 miles from Woosung. The Persia was then com- pletely lodged on the bank, four or fire) miles from the Ariadne Rocks, and in "a}} very dangerous condition since, in addi- OFFICES & tion to damage sustained to her hull, the| GODOWNS. engine room and stoke-hold were' swamp- ed, No. 3 hold was full of water, and there was a feet of water in the No. hold, and gradually rising, the weight of the water causing the vessel to settle more firmly into the mud.

TOWING OPERATIONS START. From that time until Sunday the crews | of the tug boats were incissantly at work under the most trying conditions. Pumps were first got to work to reduce the amount of water in the ship, which otherwise would very probably have gone down had any attempt been made at once to get her out into deep water, and after No 4 bold had been pumped out towing operations began. By Friday afternoon the vessel had been moved about one mile, then settling down on another shoal. At 2am on Sunday morning the St. Dominic succeeded in again floating her, getting her out into deep water, but on account of the prevailing storm and the terrific sea then running the 6in. wire parted.

The vessel dropped anchor, but at day- light it was found that was drifting rapidly towards the Ariadne Racks, the very high sea running having caused her to part her anchor chain. When the Persia was perilously near the rocks- only seme 500 or 600 feet away-the St Dominic managed to get her under tow again, using

ever, did not stand the immense strain, and the St. Sampson then got her sin. wire hawser aboard and proceeded slowly towards Boll Buoy with the Persia in

tow.

This was at 1 o'clock on Sunday after noon, at which time the weather had moderated and the sea calmed down. The St. Dominic then got her in. wire hawser shackled on to 30 fathoms of the ship's anchor chain, and thus in tow of the two tug boats the Persia was slowly brought in to Shanghai, reaching the Yangtszereo Dock at 9 o'clock on Sunday night. The operation was an extremely difficult one, a great part of the starboard side of the real having been torn out by contact with the rocks, and much credit is due to the offers of the salvage boats, some of whom were continuously on duty for 50 hours.

SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS

IN

PEKING.

American amateur radio signals span- ned the Pacific ocean and were heard at the Peking Club's quarters at Paomachang where Capt. Nordan L. Baldwin of the United States Army Signal Corps recent ly conducted an experiment with newly developed beverage type antennaes geveral nights ago. Four California amateur. radio stations were clearly heard and copied while three other broadcastings were not copied or recorded because of signal fading. The successful experiments, how. ever, were considered particularly grati fying as it is understood, says a Peking correspondent, that the amateur radio experts in the United States are limited 1kw. power with an input in the majo rity of cases of less than 100 watts. The beverage antennae, so called, is a single wire but ten feet high with a total length of €35. fect, its chiaf value lying in the fact that it is very directiohal.and with proper resistance insures exceptional sen- sitiveness on a 200 metre wave length. Further testa aro being especially arrang- ed with California radio stations and the Paomachang station.

A firm of British engineers has, in the face of keon world competition secured the contract for the largest electrical excavator ever built. It weighs just under 200 tons, and has a 12-cubic yard shevel at the end of a soft, digging arm. The work of digging, travelling, turning, and dumping into spoil wagons will be controlled by one man.
