Houses and Shops Deserted.
The fringe of the expected trouble
zone was deserted. Chinese patrols
stamped past vacant houses and
shops.
Closer to the International Settle
ment streets and alleys were jammed
with Chinese fleeing from the pros
pective backgrounds.
The pathetic procession numbered
ems of thousands. Refugees scrambled
for space along with cattle, pigs and
chickens Here and there peasant
carried pig or goat
Twenty-eight foreign men-of-war
were tied up along Shanghai's river
front. Twenty-one OF them were

stroyers and seven gunboats.
Two British, three French and two
United States vessels were the neil

were a Navy tanker and small, OBJ

from Shanghai that Chinese military
authorities tonight sank three Chi

OF native junks in the Whangpoo
River, opposite the French Con-
cession bund, in an attempt to lay
a blockade against any japanese
warships that might venture to
steam up and fire upon the Chinese
arsenal at Kiangwan)
Troops Closed Roads.
Chinese living at the confluence Of
the Woosune and Whangpoo Rivers
rushed to Shanghai by boat The
roads were closed by long lines Of
Chinese troops who felled trees and
threw up barricades at frequent in
tervals
Japanese labored into the night to
make ready an airfield on Shanghai's
eastern border Swarms of Chinese
coolies strained and groaned under
Japanese direction.
The Second Battalion of Welsh
Fusiliers, numbering $50 men,
stood by at Hong Kong ready to
embark for Shanghai to bolster the
British defense force. The military
command at am. said orders for
embarkation had not yet been
issued
The tension started Monday when
Chinese militarized police killed a
Japanese naval officer and seaman.
When the Sino-Japanese peace con-
ference broke down tonight, foreign
authorities were qick to act.

Marines took up their defense posts

tightly concentrated in the northern

NORCO ARRIVES AFTER BAD TRIP
 IN HEAVY SNOW

The motorship Norco, Capt. B. l. Joyce, docked in Juneau at Il o'clock last night after "a miser- able trip" from Seattle.
 All the way from the Straits of Georgia. heavy snow and high wind forced the Captain to keep the whistle sounding. The craft laid over at Cape Fanshaw, north of Petersburg, for 24 hours waiting for weather to abate.
 A cargo of 32U,Uu0 pounds of frozen salmon and halibut was taken on at the Juneau Cold Stor- age Dock this morning and the boat was posted to sail at o'clock this afternoon.
 From Juneau the Norco will go to Sitka to load 2500 boxes of frozen salmon for Liverpool and London export.
 Four passengers left Juneau or the Norco, two for Seattle and two for Sitka.
 MT. and Mrs Martin Anderson are going to Seattle and MT and Mrs G.. Erickson are bound to Sitka.

SALTY VEINS IN SHIPPERS
 FAMILY TREE

Capt B. | Joyce, master of the motorship Norco would not say the recent storm through which he had passed was the worst in his ex- perience," but he did say: There may have been worse ones, but l cant remember them"
 Aside from Capt. Joyce's recent trip through wind and snow swept seas, there is another interesting fact concerning the genial veteran of Alaskan waters. It concerns the ancient adage The salted blood is ever salt"
 Capt. Joyce, you see, has been on the sea for many years, and when four sons came along, they too went to sea. Two married and quit the deep for jobs ashore, but Alaskans know three Joyces, now, who come of a salty tree.
 There is Capt. Joyce, of course, who brought the big steam trawler, New England, well known ill these waters, around from the East coast in the early 190os and has been navigating Alaskan waters since 1898.
 Number two of the salted Joyces in Alaska, Is Ben Joyce, 2nd Off cer on the motorship Northland and number three is Emory Joyce former All City football star in Se- attle, now on the S.S.

BIBLE STUDENTS
 BADLY WOUNDED

Los Angeles, Nov. 0s-(UP)-Twp wounded Bible students said today that thee xplosion they created on the roof of Aimee semple Me- Pherson's Angelus Temple last night had been intended as Q prank.
 They took up some explosive pow der for 6 fireworks display "just be- cause we wanted c little excite. ment," and one of them struck Q match premateurely. The blast shook the neighborhood. Gordon Atwater, 16, had one hand blown off at the wrist, and Edmund Bond, l7, was burned. They were students in the Temples Bible school.
 Police said the powder came from the Temple. Some of it was used the night before as lighting effect during 0 sermon, to illustrate the horrors of perdition. If properly ig- nited, 1t made Q smooth, steady glow. No explanation of the fire was made during the service but the worshippeys thought it was sym bolic of hell or perhaps the River styx, an object lesson to sinners.
