It is seldom that three motor cars are seen attached to one another on the roads, but such was the case on Sunday, when two cars were observed being towed by a third along Kiangwan and North Szechuen Roads. he events leading up, to this occurrence are that while the owner of the Morris Oxford car (licence 2750) was enjoying himself with a round of golf, the coolie left in charge either desired to show off to his friends or wished to learn to drive. This desire on his part resulted in considera ble havoc and damage. When the car was found by the owner, it was half in a ditch, with the front axle bent into a "W," the radiator ruined, both fenders twisted, the spring plates awry, and the crank doubled under. The conjectures and stories of the spectators were that the car had been driven over a Chinese road-marking stone. No tow cars were then available at the garages, so a friend's bus was fitted out with ropes, tyres and tools to bring in the wreck. Unfortunately this machine's tyres were not in proper condition and a blow out took place, and as there was no spare tyre, the two cars were left stranded on the Kiangwan Road, to be finally retrieved late in the evening. The police are trying to find the coolie, but have so far been unable to trace him.
