FURTHER PARTICULARS,

s they cannot be expeclulio keep a vessel at | Woosung to continually sou d the channel and find the deepest water; it is more likely that they would trust implicity in the signals indicating the depth of water

How completely they have been misted will be ilustrated by the following Last Sunday morning the s.s. Candia left Shangbai drawing. ng feet, and when she got to Woosung there was 17-5 on the bar according to signals. The Pilot thought something was wrong and put up the flag for the Harbour Master, who came on board and conducted the vessel over the bar without touching Immediately afterwards feet 17.5 was hoisted. Why such exactpess is required when a vessel had just passed out drawing 19 ft. is an eniging which the amateurs in the Harbour "ffice only could explain.

The above is a fact, and two other vessels on Sunday morning turned back becar se they

is a state things which cannot be tolerated and the sooner the Harbour Department in the Customs is altered_the_better_for the trade of the Port, and also for the navigation of the river. The bar marks at present do not in- dicate the line of deepest water, neither do the signals show the correct water, and what this means to a large sailing vessel, for instance, lightering kerosene oil outside the bar, when she has to lighten eighteen inches more ti an she need to because of false signals and an amiquated harlour office, I leave the people who pay the piper to consider.

We are requested by the Chief Manager of the Hongkong and Whampoa back Co., Ld. (Me, W. B. Dixon) to state that the public desimus of ir specting the s.5. Pembrokeshire in dock at Kowloon will be afforded every facility by the officials in doing so at any hour of thed y. A representative of the Hong- kong Telegraph went on board of the vessel this morning and found thats a has ber'n damaged to At the plates below water a very great exte line are damaged, and the No. 1 hold and tank are entirely destroyed,. The damage extends to about 110 feet from the fore put of the ship, which came down from Shanghai with twelve feet btwater in her forehold. Eighty new shell ates, and about seventy to eighty new frames Ed a complete new stem will have to be fi, ted. All the floor and interco_tal plates will have to be dealt with No. 1 make and a few in No. 2. The lo tom of No. 1 hold is completely smashed up and all the hold stanchions and tank tops are destroyed, while the deck will have to be replaced. Filty feet from the stern the keel hine has been forced up some faur feet, and the "sides stove in some six or e gli feet. So serious is the damage that it is -estimated it will take about three or four months, before the vessel can put out to sea again, Three to four hundrejt men are engaged upon the jab night and day.

In our issue last evening we gave an account

steamship Chiyuen, but upon making further inquiries have ascertained that the information „gleaned in the rush of going 10 press was not quite accurate in one or two details. It appears that the Chiynen, which has been thoroughly overhauled and is practically a new ship in every respect, left Shanghai on Thursday, the "6th inst, at 11 am, everything working well until about 2.40 p.m. when between the two lightships Kiutoon and Tungsha on the edge of the Tungsha bank. There it was that the high pressure link block carried away through heat- ing seizing in the eye of the spicule. Mr. Chairman, Motley Azevedo, jung who was on watch at the time fainted, and was carried deck unconscious, and remained in that condition till about 7 pm. when he died. Every attention was shown him by those on board, including a medical gentleman. Meanwhile Mr. Words, the second engineer, had gone below, and in an attempt to dis $ 100,000.00 connect the bro.eu link black had three of his fingers crushed. The chief engineer, Mr. Roxburg, then repaired the broken gear and filled spare binck, and Capt. C. Stewart headed back for Shanghai to land the decensed and send the second engineer to hospital. This having been done three other engineers were shipped and the stemer pro eccled on her voyage South crassing the Woosung War al 40 p.m. on Friday, the zili jast, and arriving in Hongkong at 5 pm yesterday. During the first part of the passage a strong gale and high head seas were experienced, but fine weather prevailed towards the termination of the voyage.

FRENCH MAIL IN A TYPHOON

A passenger, who arrived by the M. M. s.5, Tonkin at Shanghai on the 2nd instant, thus describes the experience of the vessel in the typhoon through which she passed on the way up from Hongkong:-

gross carelessness on the part of the Harbour authorities. This information is con- firmed by several of the local pilots, to the ex- seni that they all know there is deeper water off the bar marks than on the direct line. Several pilots hive expressed the opinion that a careful survey wou'd show that the inland Bar Mark should be shifted several feet nearer Woosung with advantage, then marking the true deep water channel, and they also feel sure that were this done and a careful survey made along the new line the least depth would be found to be over a foot more than is at present signalled..

The importar ce of being able to cross the bar drawing a foot more water than at present needs no explaining to seafarers in Shanghai Therefore we have no doubt that the energetic hend of the Harbour Department in Shanghai will have the necessary changes made in lead- ing marks and signals at the earliest possible

mument.

The following extract of the week's share transactions are from Messr. J. A. Sullivan & 'Co.' report, published on 1st August ;---

"One does not get into a typhoon every day of the week and,56 it may be worth while describing my experiences in one. When I left Hongkong, typhoon warning had been up the day before, with the cone pointed down ; that meant the typhoon was within 3:0 miles of the colony.

Mr. flugh Clifford once in the Westminster Guselle gv a very graphic account of a whirligig" as he called it, describing how it seemed as if all the fiery demons of an inferno bad been let loose. To most people who have travelled on sea the sound of the milan holy dirge-like stra'n of the gale as it howls through the rigging is not unfamiliar, but on this oc- casion it feared.

The same writer, I remember, says: "The shipmaster no longer fears the typhoon-he fences with it like the ohi fox when he hears the hounds. Certain fixed, lasis govern the whirligig which have been cleuly defined" With us there was no doubt a considerabic amount of the fencing element, for more din once we were hove to for hours and Euider- stand on one occasion we were actually pre- senting a pair of heels to the stormfi nd

This as may be, there can be no doubt that to pass through the vicissitudes of a typhoon is an experience one does not court a second time. Though with a good strong ship power- 1,886, 79 39 | ful enough to hold her own against the rushing mighty wind there is no danger, at the same time to anyone who has not passed through | one before there is a feeling of relief once it becomes apparent the-" whirligig" has passed un in its course of madcap galloping chuse.
