Notes from p.10 of Hong Kong Daily Press, 1927-08-22:

The C.B.C. ship Taikoo Wan Yi broke from her moorings in Kowloon Bay and drifted ashore off the Chinese shipyard at Kowloon Bay. The Taikoo tugs were out yesterday to her assistance and made an effort to pull her off again.

She is in no danger.

 The article on p.10 of The Hong Kong Telegraph, 1927-08-22 has more detail, but unfortunately the edge of the column is cut off:

At th??
time a signal came thro??
the effect that the Taikoo ??
had gone ashore in Kowlo??
off Bailey's Shipyard but n??
age had been inflicted, the ??
requesting that informat??
conveyed to Taikoo Yard ??
wireless installation had ??
carried away.     

During the evening, wh??
wind was still strong the ??
Wan-yi dragged her anch??
drifted about the Bay. S??
washed by the heavy seas t??
the shore and after drifti??
some time she went agro?
the Kwong Tak Cheong Ship??
ing, Engineering and Do??

Messrs. Bailey's shipyard.

It is believed that she da??
her bottom on the rocky g??
water leaking in to the af??
An examination was being ??
of the damage yesterday wh??

making efforts to tow her o??
