Fowkes and the laodah who have been missing since the yacht Seagull sank during the squall which caused such havoc amongst the Shanghai Yacht Club's fleet when the boats to Woosung on Saturday evening. Further inquiries were made up and down the river on both banks, and as there appeared to be practically no chance that, either of the two could have been picked up, the Yacht Club's ensign on the flagship Foam was lowered to half-mast. a When the tide turned on Saturday night, the Seagull drifted from the spot where she sank and settled! down in deeper water almost in the! middle of the river between the dynamite magazine and the wreck lof the Tungshing- 'The River Police arranged for her to be properly' marked and lighted as a warning to passing vessels and probably today an attempt will be made to raise her which it is expected will be an easy operation.
