Mishap to a Foreigner

An unfortunate accident happened on the Bund on Monday forenoon, a foreigner, Mr. J. G. Wallace, receiving injuries to his head which necessitated his removal to hospital. How the accident happened is not quite clear, but it is understood that when a short distance to the south of Nanking Road he was knocked down by a tramear. This was about 11.30 a.m., and passers-by saw him lying on the thoroughfare with a long gash in his forehead from which blood ° issued profusely. The policemen in the vicinity immediately came to his assistance and he was promptly despatched to the General Hospital.
