It was stated that the sinking of the vessel was caused by a broken propeller shaft, which tore away a portion of the propeller guard and knocked a large hole in the ['ship's bottom. Water began to raan in rapidly, and the pumps were at ance brought into use. Work was handicapped by the fact that the water ballast was situated | near the hole, and although the pumps were kept furiously at work, they were unable to cope with the inrush of water. Within + very short space of time, the engine-room was Hooded and the engineer ad- vised the, master to abandon the

The captain seeing that that was the only possible course ordered the boats" to be lowered, and the crew and passengers were transferred to them. The master himself re- mained on the ship until he had successfully drawn the attention of two fishing junks and seen them on the way to their rescue.
+
The Lee Un was then sinking fast and she was completely lost to sight at 7.00 p.m. The two fishing junka took the crew and passengers from the life boats, and with the cap tain and officers, set sail for Houg Kong, arriving here some sixteen hours later.
