tho greatest disasters that China has
known, a sudden tidal wave in the
YangtBekiang, which caused the loss of
nearly 10,000 lives at Hankow, was
brought by tho steamer Titan, which
arrived Tuesday night. A wave 26 feot

river steamers. Some 3,000 Chinese
sleoping in sampans, and small craft
and mat sheds and huts by the river
side at Hankow wero enveloped by the
groat tidal wave, which swept the
broken junks, splintered sampans and
a mass of debris with swarms of
drowned Chinese, mixed with' the
wreckage. The scones for many days
after the disaster were horrible, with
tho river side strewn with dead, and
tho debris of wrecked craft for many
