Hungjao area is a quagmire moment, as is most of the ai hinterland, while various ing sectors in Shanghai itself were flooded yesterday rgorning as the alns found themselves unable accommodate all the water that 'd in past the gratings in a never-g flow.
Large lakes were formed on the various grounds in the Race Course, the club-houses soon presenting the appearance of little islands in r Inland Sea which had been conjured up suddenly out of nowhere and placed in the heart of Shanghai, Nanking Road and the various sid streets forming the Sun Sun-Wing On-Sincere block were flooded as usual and, again as usual it is to be feared, more than one pedestrian said sharp things under his breath as a careless motorist ploughed past with a bow wave that would have done justice to the most imposing of coastal steamers.
Similar scenes were witnessed near the corner of Kiukiang and Szechuen Roads, at the foot of Shanghai's only "hill," where a heavy rain or a high tide always manages to collect, to the distress of cyclists and the huge enjoyment of bus and motor lorry drivers.
