Sweeps Over Hong Kong
Ships LoSt-Great Lost of

steamers and small craft sought shell

the approach of the storm center

wind was blowing with hurricane
force and the harbor was tempes-
tuous.
The steamer Ming Sang whistled
long blasts of distress. A blue fun
mel tow-boat made an heroic at
tempt to reach the stricken vessel.
The high running sea made the res
cue impossible and the Ming SANG
went down. Except for the two Of
ficers reported saved, all aboard are
believed to have perished.
The Ming Sang, owned by the In
do-China Steam Navigation Com
pany, was of 1850 net tonnage.

never occurred to the lawyer to
notice what other people were

thing in the way the doctor car
ried it that morning that made
him look. Why. that card was
exactly like one he received an
nually-had received for nearly
twenty years.
The doctor saw his friend star

face went red. IT suppose you

AT any rate the lawyer told
the doctor as they parted. I'm
going to find out who sends these
cards if I have to. hire a detec-

But it was the doctor who made
the discovery. In a drug store
he saw a case Of cards much like

more closely and found a pack
