Terrible Destruction Caused by a
Typhoon in the Orient.
Hongkong, Dec. I. - Thousands of
lives we're lost as the result Of the de-
struction of several hundred fishing
iunks in typhoon off Swallow. The
havoc was awful when the gales swept
down on the vessels. For days dis
abled junks drifted helplessly about,
their occupants suffering from thirst
and hunger. The Hongkong govern
ment tender Stanley rescued a num-
Der, picking up eight junks and taking
122 men off the vessels that were
abandoned The Stanley then returned
to the rescue, for the rescued fisher
men reported there were 400 junks
fishing off Swallow when the typhoon
came on Nov. 4. From the Stanley 81
disabled junks were seen flying sig
nails of distress. Several junks were
towed to Hongkong, and then a relief
cruise was made.
Meanwhile three torpedo boat de-
stroyers, the naval water boat Cherub
and Chinese cruiser were sent out
and rescued many. Several hundred
men were taken from wrecked craft
suffering greatly. Some had been
without food and water from two to
FIVE days. OF the 400 fishing junks at
least 300 are reported disabled or
sunk and thousands of lives were lost.
