PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

Five steamers were damaged, five cargo lighters were Bunk, and several wharves were hit, when the s.s. Lung San "ran amok" in the harbour at Shang- hai. The series of accidents' was most peculiar. The steamer was carried away helpless in the grip of tide and a strong- wind, and a remarkable distance was covered, with scenes of destruction in the wake, before her anchors proved effective. The Lung San was considerably damaged. She sprung numerous plates and her steering-gear was practically wrecked.

The ship is owned by the San Peh Steamship Co., a 2,000 tons vessel.
