A girl was lost in another mishap, which according to the master of the junk, occurred at 1a.m. on July 25. The junk was taking shelter at Chekwan with 1,800 piculs of granite on board, when it sank. The 12 occupants of the junk managed to cling to the sail but only 11 were rescued by a fishing boat next morning. A girl of 14 was washed away and was not seen again.
