Weihaiwei suffered very severe~ ly on Saturday and "Sunday, September 2 and 3, presumably from the typhoon which visited Shanghai on August 31, and which caught Weihaiwei on the recurve. Considerable damage was done along the water front, the sea wall being broached in several places, roads broken up and the small pier simply piled-up like lumps of sugar in a basin. But by far the worst damage was suffered by the fisher folk, a number. of boats being wrecked and, unfortunately, several lives lost. Local residents said they had not had such a storm for 1] years.
In comparison with the above-mentioned places, Chefoo and Tsingtao escaped with slight damage during the gales of early September.
