A collision, which caused considerable damage, but fortunately. so far as can be ascertained, no loss of life, occurred on the Huangpu River about 7.30 a-m. on Wednesday in the vicinity of the Kailan Mining Administration's Wharf, on the Pootung side.
It appears that about 7 a.m. the L-C.S.-Yusang, outward bound for Yangtze River ports, left her berth at the Shanghai & Hongkew Wharf and proceeded down river on the ebb tide. meeting with drifting banks of fog which made navig tion very difficult. Apparently getting slightly out of her intended course, she came into collision with the K-M.A.S. Patriot (chartered). which was moored in the stream off the Kailan Wharf, and by the impact both vessels suffered somewhat serious damage -about the bows, several plates being buckled, while in the meantime a number of Chinese small craft suffered severe damage.
As soon as possible after the accident the Yusang dropped an-char off the Asiatic Petroleum Company's Wharf. Both steamers will have to undergo repairs before leaving Shanghai, and the Yusang will probably go into dock.
