Str, Storviken With Full Cargo of Lumber Ashore on Tungsha Spit The typhoon which struck Shanghai last Wednesday and lasted until Tharsday, although not very strong, did not pass on its way without causing damage and one of its most serious results was the running! aground on the Tungsha Spit of the Wallen Co's str. Storviken, a Norwegian vessel of 7,500 tons dead. weight capacity. The Storviken was bound for Shanghai from the west] coast of America and was carrying] 8 full cargo including deck load of lumber for this port.
She ran ashore early on Thursday! morning and the same afternoon the Shanghai Tug arid Lighter Co's salvage tug Saucy went to her assistance. Up to the present the Storviken has had in attendance the Saucy, St. Sampson, St. Dominic, the Vulcan, which went down to the stranded vessel on Saturday accompanied by two lighters for discharging the cargo and thus lightening the ship, and the St. Aubin, whi left here at mid-day yesterday with two more lighters.
Owing to the danger to navigation it has not been possible for the cargo, which is too cumbrous and' heavy, to be jettisoned and it is therefore being removed by lighters.
The tugs are towing on each sucecesive tide and have already ran out the anchors. There is danger of another typhoon striking the ship, as there is known to be one working its way up the coast, and therefore every effort is being made to float the ship within the week, rather than wait until the next flood-tide.
No actual damage, it is understood has been done to the Storviken, except that her intake being choked the vessel is unable to use her main} engines.
