BREAK FOR LIBERTY.
Early last night a dozen or more Jap
anese made a determined effort to break
quarantine by swimming under Kuku
street bridge. The project would seem
promising, but a guard saw them and
fired i'm the air. This frightened the
Japs and also brought mounted pa
trolman to the scene. The would-be ref
ugees were then forced back the way
they had come.
There is a fine chance to escape from
quarantine under this bridge and doubt
less Cinnamon and Japanese have done
so before. The bridge will be most
carefully watched in future.
