The smouldering ruins of the
China Merchants' Navigation compa

warships' pre-dawn bombardment of
the rich Industrial area.

Japanese warships with machine
guns from the wharf and the Japan
ese retaliated with their big guns.
ine property loss was estimated at
$2,000,000, Including considerable
American and other foreign cargo.
The bombardment of Pootung began
in a pouring rain during the final
hours of Sunday, upsetting sn other
wise generally quiet day.
Today, the Japanese struggled
through the muck for a mile advance
along Vangplng creek, straightening
out their aallent between the atub-
bornly Chinese-held Klangwan race
course and Woosung creek north of
the International aettlement.
After weeks of Incesssnt rain the
trenches were turned Into csnals and
creeks and the Chinese snd Japanese
