Yarnell’s Asiatic Fleet Vessel Was Moored Downstream From Interna- tional Settlement Helping to Cover Evacu- ation of U. S.

Harry E. Yarnell, fleet commander, has been lying in the Whangpoo river a little downstream from the heart of the international settlement, covering the evacuation of American refugees from stricken Shanghai. , The shell plunged from a high angle. Both Japanese and Chinese artillery and anti-aircraft batteries had been ering furiously through the late afternoon and into the night. The Augusta stood by earlier Friday as two United States destroyers and Dollar line tenders carried 1,000 American refugees down the river to board the liner Presi- dent Hoover for Manila. Admiral Yarnell had told the Japanese navy bluntly that United States vessels would navigate the Whangpoo whenever and however he desired without reference to anyone. This was in reply to a Japanese request that American naval authorities give the Japanese advance notice whenever they wished to navigate the Whangpoo after dark.

Shortly before the Augusta was struck three big shells, believed to have come from Chinese guns con- cealed on rooftops in the Northern Chapei area, plunged into the river close to the cruiser. The Augusta’s crew of 800 immed- jately was ordered to take shelter be- low decks. The crews of other Amer- fean and foreign warships on the took similar action. Shortly after the Augusta was hit enother shell fell less than 100 yards astern of her on the Pootung side of the river. Shortly after 10 p. m. (8 a. m., CST) Japanese warships on the Whang- poo and Chinese batteries to the south of the international settlement began a duel with big caliber guns. Under the detonations Shanghai tocked as if in an earthquake. A fourth of Shanghai was ablaze tonight as Chinese air forces struck savagely at Japanese properties along the Whangpoo river and Chinese artillery blasted at Japanese defense American property suffered heavily as the battle for Shanghai, in its second week, became increasingly de- structive of life and wealth.
