 Shanghai, August IS. - (UP) A tiny Chinese gum boat, in the most daring raid of the Shanghai war, seized five Japanese river boats to- day, cut their moorings and sank them in the upper Whangpoo river, completing a blockade against Japanese warships. A tender, protected by the guns of the United States cruiser Augusta, had made its way down the river to the safety of the liner President Mckinley with Am- erican women and children refugees, past Q gauntlet of fire, when the little Chinese boat appeared from nowhere. It slipped up to the great Japanes Nissin Risen Kaisha wharf Five unoccupied Japanese river ships were moored there. Quickly the g1aboat's crew cut the inoorings of the five ships. All drifted down the river to the point, just above the settlement, where junks had been sunk some days ago in an ef- fort to keep out any Japanese waf- ships from the upper river. The valves of the Japanese craft were opened and they sank. The first barricade was inadequate. But it was believed that the five ships added to 1t today made the upper reach of the Whangp0o. i'm. penetrabie for warships.
