H.MS. Kent, flying the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir Percy Noble, Commander in Chief of the British China Station, arrived in Shanghai yesterday morning from Hongkong and made fast at the British Naval buoys, vacated by H.M.S. Suffolk, which sails from Holt's Wharf for Hongkong today.
Shortly after the cruiser's arrival the Commander-in-Chief paid an official visit to Admiral H. E. Yarnell, Commander-in-Chief of the US. Asiatic Fleet, aboard the American flagship Augusta and later called on the Chairman of the S.M.C. and the commanding officers of the various Foreign military units in the city.
H.M.S. Kent, it is expected, will stay in port for about a week to ten days following which she will return to Hongkong.
