Firing at Woosung Cause, According to Report The N.Y.K, s. Nagasaki Maru, which was due in the harbour from Nagasaki yesterday morning with foreign and Japanese passengers, had not passed Woosung at 5 o'clock yesterday evening. An employee of the Company said the vessel would probably come in after dark.
A foreign source reported that Chi-mese artillery fire from Pootung to Woosung yesterday morning prevented the ship from entering the Whangpoo River. She had arrived at the normal time, but the fighting kept her loft Woosung breakwater, according to this source. A Japanese spokesman, on the other hand, attributed the delay to "bad weather."
Because one of the foreign passengers, a British lady, in the Nagasaki 0 Maru had been reported ill by radio, the Shanghai Fire Brigade sent an ambulance to the N.Y.K, Wayside Wharf, where the vessel ordinarily docks, at 9.20 o'clock yesterday morning. The ambulance had to return empty because of the failure of the ship to enter port.
