FIVE HUNDRED MEN

Supposed to Have Lost the Lives In
Terrific storm on the Coast of China
Victoria. B. c., June 9.-Meagre par
ticulars were brought by the Empress
Of japan Of a disaster which befell the
fishermen of Chusan Archipelago, oil
the coast of China. On May g, when
all. or at least most Of the fishing boats
were out on the fishing banks,a terrible
gale sprung up. OF several hundred
heats out at the time, very few return
ed and it is estimated that some 800
men lost their lives. The storm was
one of those sudden ones for when
bte coast of China is noted, and the
fishermen had no chance to seek shell
ter. Their light boats were smashed
10 atoms and they were left to fight
a homeless battle with the merciless
waves. Those who escaped did so by
good luck.
