To the Editor of the "Norta-Cuina Dainty News."
Simr,—I was riding in a car on Sunday last on the Woosung Road and some distance ahead I casually noticed another car. A moment. or two later I looked again and, being on the straight, noticed that the car was not to be seen on the road. We followed up the wheel tracks and found it in the ditch.
One foreigner was on board and the chauffeur, being interrogated, admitted that he had dozed, to put it mildly, with the result that the car starboarded her own helm and went over the side.
No one was hurt, nor was the machine damaged in the least, but the notice on the chit paper was still there, that the garage were not responsible for any damage done by chauffeurs. The Chinese chauffeur said he had worked late on Saturday, had afterwards gambled and was very sleepy—with the It as described and no responsibility attaching to the driver. What about I am. etc., Shanghai, May 3
