THE AFTERMATH.
MORE FISHING VESSELS CASUALTIES.
MACAO FLEET SURVIVORS.
It will probably be some days before a correct estimate will be possible of the loss of life among the Macao fishing folk making up the fleet which was dispersed by Monday’s typhoon. Few of the boats which have put into shelter after trying experiences can speak as to the safety or otherwise of others.
Six vessels believed to be part of the Macao fishing fleet limped into sanctuary at Aberdeen yesterday with tattered sails and bearing every sign of severe buffeting. They report having drifted helplessly during the typhoon blow and to have made for Hong Kong when the elements calmed.
3 Out of 16.
Reports continue to be received of loss of life on small fishing boats. The Water Police have brought to Hong Kong three Macao fishermen whose boat capsized on Monday as the vessel was on its way from Sam Mei to the fishing grounds. The three men are the only survivors of a crew of 16. They swam to Lung Shun Wan and walked some distance when they were picked up by the police.
Distressing Story.
A distressing story is told by one of the crew of a large junk which was wrecked by terrible seas at Saikung. The crew of eleven were still clinging to the large mainsail, having drifted for fourteen hours, when they were sighted by another junk. The rescue of six of the crew was effected but the master and four of his children relaxed their hold before assistance could be given them.
32 Casualties.
The four men who were taken from a drifting raft east of Gap Rock by the s.s. “Yei Maru” were the only survivors of a crew of 36. Their boat capsized off the Sa Mun Customs House as they were on the way from San Mi, Bias Bay, for their fishing grounds. The four who survived constructed their raft from wreckage of the boat and when rescued had been at the mercy of the waves for over twelve hours. Although his destination was Keelung, the master of the “Yei Maru” put into Hong Kong owing to the pitiable plight of the survivors.
Going Into Dock.
The B. and S. boat “Kweiyang,” which, following a breakdown in the steering gear, was held up off Gap Rock and unable to enter Hong Kong until towed, had discharged her cargo at the buoy. As her time for half yearly docking for overhaul is due she will proceed to dock shortly. Until a survey has been carried out, the full extent of the damage will not be known.
Another Wreck.
The “Yuensang” has sighted a wrecked junk near Hong Kong.
It was learned yesterday that the two missing members of the junk crew picked up by Chief Preventive Officer Clark off Saiwan when their craft was wrecked, floated safely ashore on planking and have reported themselves safe.
Scouts Washed Out.
The typhoon season and abnormal rains have affected Scout camping in the Colony.
From the “Silver Wolf” it is learned that the Yaumati Troop was washed out one night at Taipo and the 10th (St. Paul’s) Troop had a very narrow escape at Shek-O during the deluge of July 18-19. The latter returned to town with the kind assistance of a lorry belonging to Messrs. Dodwell & Co., Ltd. and were very lucky to be safe at home.
The 20th at Shek-O, Sea Scouts at Taipo and the 4th (Murray) at Tai-tam-tuk were other Troops which were affected.
The boys stuck it out cheerfully, says the article.
At Cheung Chau.

Sept. 28.
The typhoon (the worst blow since 1923) did considerable damage to the trees and gardens. The Government school matshed was considerably damaged, and the bathing shed also suffered, it would have been possible to have had surf bathing inside the structure. Quantities of sand were carried up, partly burying the nearby vegetable gardens.
As far as is known no serious damage was done to any of the houses. A few doors on servants quarters broke loose. Some wreckage was visible on the south side and one junk had a hard struggle to make the harbour.

災後情況
更多漁船有死傷
澳門船隊有生還者
經歷星期一的颱風後,相信需要一段時間才能正確統計出澳門捕魚船隊的傷亡數字。部份於經歷風暴期間成功進入避風塘的人士相信可以反映更詳細狀況。
六艘相信屬於澳門捕魚船隊的船隻昨日狼狽地駛入香港仔避難,其船帆嚴重損壞,船身亦破損不堪。據報他們於颱風期間只能無助地隨波逐流,直至風勢較弱時才勉强駛至香港。
16人隊伍只剩3人
其他小型漁船亦陸續有傷亡報告。一艘由汕尾(Sam Mei)前往捕魚場的漁船於星期一翻側,水警其後救起3人。該船16人中只有3人生還,他們游往糧船灣(Lung Shun Wan)上岸後一段時間才由水警救起。
心痛的事件
一名來自西貢被吹毀大型帆船的水手告訴了一件心痛的事,當船隻被毀時他們11人一直抓著主帆漂流了14小時,後來另一艘帆船前來救助,6名水手成功獲救,但船主及其4名孩子卻於最後關頭體力耗盡,未能獲救。
32人死亡
4名乘著木筏的水手於蚊尾洲(Gap Rock)以東水域被耶伊丸號(SS Yei Maru)救起,他們是36位船員中的倖存者,其船隻由汕尾(San Mi)經大亞灣(Bias Bay)前往捕魚場,至三門島海關(Sa Mun Customs)附近傾側。4人於海上利用船隻殘骸建造了木筏,並於怒海中漂流了12小時,待風勢緩和後方能獲救。耶伊丸號原訂駛往基隆(Keelung),船主因應各生還者的狀況而決定駛往香港。
送入船塢
太古洋行(B and S)旗下貴陽號(Kweiyang)因為船舵失靈,於蚊尾洲水域附近由其他船隻拖回香港,並於浮標水域卸貨。因半年年檢臨近,此船隨即被送入船塢,當檢查完成後才能知道船隻損壞狀況。
另一艘殘骸
元山號(Yuensang)於香港附近水域發現了一艘帆船殘骸。據了解,2名失蹤船員昨日被總緝私督導主任卡勒(Clark)於柴灣(Saiwan)附近救起,當時他們抓著木板漂流,身體並無大礙。
童軍受災
颱風與暴雨季節影響著本地童軍露營活動。
由《銀狼》(Silver Wolf)中得知,油麻地童軍旅於大埔一個晚上遇上水災,而第10(聖保羅)旅於7月18至19日期間於石澳水災中僥倖脫險,其後獲天祥洋行(Dodwell & Co.)貨車接送返回市區,可謂非常幸運。
其他受影響的隊伍包括身處石澳的第20旅,大埔的海童軍,以及大潭篤的第4(美利)旅。

這次颱風(1923年以來最強)吹毀了大批樹木及花園。官學堂的草棚損毀,泳棚亦受影響,現在基本上可以在建築內進行沖浪活動了。大量泥沙被沖上岸,把菜園都差點掩埋了。
現時觀察所有房屋未見損壞,傭工宿舍的幾道門戶有鬆脫。南岸可以看到一些船隻殘骸,一首帆船正步履蹒跚地駛往港口。
