bird poachers whose presence on an
American island was reported by Cap
tain Nihlack of the United states
steamer lroquois some weeks ago, and
the Thetis was sent to stop their op.

dragging her anchor, struck coral

men who happened to be aboard being
drowned.
Another ship was expected and on
February 27 the Tiyu Maru arrived,
bringing 80 more hunters. She sailed
away. however, leaving word that she
would soon return, and so the hunting
continued. Week succeeded week and
the Tiyu Maru never appeared. Tho
Japs on the lonely island found their

having only couple of hundred pounds
of rice left, so they started to kill for
food. There is little on the tern and
other sea birds of the island that can
he eaten, but the Jabs cut what little
there was and dried it. So they lived
for many weeks, until on the 10th of
this month the Thetis arrived. II is
presumed that their expected ship was
either wrecked or fell a prey to some
Russian ship
Captain Hamlet of the Thetis states
that the destruction wrought by the
party to bird life was something ap.
palling. He estimates that they killed
at least 100000 birds, to Judge from
the number of cases Of plumage they
had secured. All of their spoil had to
be abandoned, but it is properly pre-.
served and will keep for long time
There are 335 of these cases. the plu.
