restoration of free communication by steamer between Hongkong and Shanghai have, of course, been dampened by the sinking of the Panamanian vessels Vaive and Santos. For the time being, at lenst, the experimental services operated by responsible local firms are likely to be suspended, with regret because completed trips achieved success well up to expectu». flons. As Mr Landale said, at the annual

the meeting of

Indo-China Sicam Navigation Company, it is the duty of avoid taking reputable companies to unnecessary risks to life and property. Much will depend perhaps on the results of the investigations into the loss of the Valve and Santos which will be carried nut, presumably, by the port authorities in Shanghai. It seems curious to the tayman that two very much larger vessels, the Tsinon and the Mausang, 'should have been able to travel in Woosung waters twice in and twice out without hindrance or apprehension of any dunger, while two shallow-draft ships like the Valve and Santos should be destroyed by floating mines. There may be reasons to account satisfactorily for the accident of chance. and on the other hand, there may be a different explanation for the disasters, as for instance nabolage. Judging from the time of arrival back in Hongkong of the Mausang and Telnan there was no great lapse of time between their run down the Whangpoo and the attempt of the Valve proceed in the other and Santos to direction. The suspicion that there might have been foul play has naturally nothing factual to back it up, but in all the ›circumstances the query arises. In the manthas, Shanghal falls into line with
