I found this album in the University of Michigan Archives, said to be the last album William Pryor Floyd created in Hong Kong before he left. The views are all of the aftermath of the Typhoon of 23rd September 12874. Lai Afong also photographed the same Typhoon - many of his pictures can be seen on Gwulo. Click on the picture for a full view and to zoom in to read the captions
