The Hong kong Dock Co having been applied to for assistance, the powerful tug Dan Gillies, as alsted, by the ware engaged in an attempt to get the Schapitill off the sborn, There was apparently no difficulty in the tank, for by noon the steamer had again regained her element, slightly the worse for her overnight's experience. She is making a listło water which is capable of being kept under. She will be docked for examination, The Schuylkill was cleared at the. Harbour Office yesterday after noon with a cargo of petroleum for Manila.
Companion in difficulty with the Schuylkill was the Pocket, which also was washed ashore on Stonecutters faland. Her posillon is not one of anxiety. She has apparently suffered some damage. As examination by divers this morning revealed injuries to her bottom plates which must be patched up before she can be reflated.
The Indo-China Steam Navigation Co.'s steamer Lining also lock the beach at Stone catter's last night. She was released from that position-with-the-ald-of-a-ug—this morning. It is not believed that she bas suffered any damage, but an examination on the slipway, will satile the drabi, if any exists.

The French river meamer Charies (ardouin, for which Messrs. Barretto & Co. are the local agents, has again come in for an unusual share of lil-luck. In the memorable 19nd typhoon she was one of the steamers to be considerably damaged. Last night she was lying opposite Messrs. W. S. Bailey and Co.'s works at Hok Ua undergoing repairs to her boilers. She was blown clean away from her moorin, "being thenelmast abs lately at the mercy of wind and wve. The Chalea lindouts was carried right round the point on to the new re climation being made, by the Kowloon Dock Co. with earth and stone excavated from the hill in the course of the No. 1 Dock ex- toosipa
works. Buffalted, as she was, it may be considered a fortunate, circumstance that she was not more seriously damaged thao she is. The extent of her injuries is at this writing unascentaionble, but as she will be dry. docked this afternoon, expert examination will furnish' the details of the damage after survey.

A iriple collision occurred at the Western end of the harbour off the Standard Oil Co godowns at Kennedytown, The Strimiti drifted against the Amira which in turn col. lifed with the Barra, resulting in considerable damage to all the three steamets above the water line.
