Trafic on the river on Tuesday was an affair of adventure, confined only to those whose business necessitated wonted use of launch and sampan. A peculiar feature ai the mist which hung over the river was that it lay in a bank about 12 to 15 feet deep, and at night while all was obscure on_ the ground, the lights on the Bund could be clearly seen from a high building on the Pootung side.
As an example of traffic diffi culties, it may be mentioned that one launch occupied an hour and a half in searching its way down from_an up-river wharf to one of the Jetties. In the course of a slow and devious journey, it once found itself in close company with the police hulk.
No accidents were reported during the day.
