It is with regret that we have to announce the death of Mr. Theodore Clement Nixon, which took place suddenly late on July & at the Country Hospital.
Mr. Nixon was comparatively new-comer to Shanghai, having been here only about eight years, vat nevertheless during that time he had made many friends who will deeply regret his sudden passing.
Mr. Nixon came first to the East in 1912, when he arrived in June of that year at Kobe, to join the Srm the proposed increase in sailings from that port to Shanghai by the Ellerman & Bucknall S. 8. Ca., Ltd. In future their steamers front the Atlantic Coast of America to the Far East vii Suez will call at Marseilles to load cargo for Shanghai. This in addition to their normal monthly steamers from the Continent will provide a fortnightly service from Marseilles to the Far East.
Four houses and a shop were burnt to the ground in a fire which broke out in Fa Vu Road, Nantao, on July 8. Fortunately, nobody was was injured.
