Five Drown When Junks Capsized

Two Still Missing

In. H.K. Wators

A sudden squall near Lung Ku Tan, between Castle Peak and Deep Bay, about midday yesterday, was res- ponsible for the overturning of two Ashing junks, causing the deaths of five members of the crews through drowning, and the disappearance of two others.

The dead and misssing persons, who include the wife and son of the Junk master, were all from junk No. HD2242. Five bodies were later re- covered by a Water Police launch.

None of those on board the other junk, No. HD1872, was lost, though

few suffered injuries. The police are still searching for the missing persons.
