EFFECTS OF THE SQUAlilo
HOATWOMAN'S SAD STORY,
The official récord of the number of lives lost and the damage dose in the harbour by the squall which struck Hongkang on the 28th instant is, so far as it has been complied, as follows:-
People missing
Dead bodies recovered
People in hospital
Boats capsized....
Personis rescued by the police and
others
These figures, however," are subject to consi- derable revision. För example there is no notice taken of the numerous gallant and suc- cessful efforts of the men of the Royal Navy to rescue drowning persona in the barbour and outside. They, alone, are responsible for the safety of something like 150 Chinese boatman and women. Then there must have been oumerous escapes of which we know nothing and of which the police will never hear. 'And if the official record says, that 35 persons are known to be missing then we may take it for a moral certainty that there is a'vast number more whose fate will never be known be- cause they may not be missed, being, in- other words, minus friends or retativai,
