japanese artillery duel plunged
shells into the heart of the In

spread new death and destruc-
ton through Shanghai.
The headquarters, located at the
corner of Chengtu and Bubbling

by shell. There were no casual
ties.
The shell failed to explode.
TROOP SHIP HIT
The British steamer Lisheng,
carrying 300 Chinese refugees
down the river for shipment to
Hongkong, narrowly escaped be-
ing hit during the exchange of fire.
The Lisheng was compelled to 70
turn to her dock on the French

The Marine headquarters was
struck a short time after a Chi
nese shell scored direct hit on the
deck of a large Japanese troop ship
in the Whangpoo River. Casualties
aboard the vessel were not i'm.

Other Chinese shells exploded
all around the japanese flagship
Idzumo, but the famous warship
was not hit.
AUGUSTA MOVES
The United States flagship
Augusta was forced to move from
midstream to the edge of the
bund, itself the scene of shell ex-
