The Pootung Point River Police Hulk was brought nearer home yesterday morning when two Moller tugs brought it across the river to the Customs Jetty where the large floating police station was moored in front of the Harbour Office, The reason given by the Shanghai Harbour Office for the transfer was that the sleeping quarters of the hulk were needed for the river police on the Shanghai side to which all the river police withdrew some time ago, The fire float Poochi, of the Harbour Fire Brigade, then moved from alongside the Customs Jetty to the outside of the Pootung Point Hulk.
