Mokanshan, Aug. 15.
The typhoon began to blow up here on Saturday night, and worked up all night long, reaching its height during Sunday afternoon.
At lunch time on Sunday, the servants' quarters and the kiteh of a house over the tennis cout which had but lately been occupied by Judge and Lobingier, were blown down: luckily none of the servants were in at the time. The roofs of two other houses have been blown off, and several minor damages are reported. The tennis courts are badly damaged.
The Tai Shan road has been washed away just below where a new house had lately been built, the large embankment at that point making the road dangerous ordinarily wet weather, and in-passable in a big wind.
It would be well if a stone wall could be built at this point, as otherwise '"washouts" are bound to be of frequent occurrence.
At the time of writing, 7 p.m.. no mail has been received and it is reported that the telegraph wires are blown down.
The storm has died down,—but there is still a thick fog, out of which the voice of the "scissor grinder" comes as a welcome sound, as one hopes it means that the w st is over.
The weather has been too wet for snakes lately, and it is generally felt that it is time we heard a vow] from the Kuling tiger. Its tail" has not been unfolded for some time.
