Sir Francis Winter describes these beings
as follows in a report to the Australian
government: ..---.
''The men would be of good stature If
their bodies, from their hips down were
good chests. thick necks and powerful arms:
but from the hips down they were shrunken
creatures LOOKING more like apes when
viewed from the side than like human be-
wonderfully thin. with weak toes. They
are so feeble that they look almost as it
they lacked joints. The feet of all the
people whom i saw rested on the floor
when they stood sat in way that re-
minded one irresistibly of wooden feet, be-
cause they were 50 helpless and clumsy"

Size of Manchuria.

From the National Geographic Magazine
Manchuria corresponds in latitude to
Manitoba, North Dakota, South Dakota
Minnesota and Nebraska. Its area of 362
$40 square miles is only 10,000 square miles
less than the combined area of these great
grain states. 1t is two and one-half times
greater than California, and is as big as
Texas. Alabama and Louisiana combined.
In the northern part of the province are
thousands of square miles of rich wheat
land entirely untouched. Manchuria has n
possible wheat area as great as that of the

NAVAL STATION
CAPT. U. S. G. WHITE, WHO PRE-
PARED ORIGINAL PLANS, WILL
PROBABLY BIZ ORDERED ON
THE WORK AGAIN.

1t is regarded as very likely that Cap
tain U. S. G. White, who was civil en-
gineer staff officer at the local naval
station for some tine, will be ordered to
Washington, d. c., to join the engineer
ling staff of the Bureau of Yards and
Docks. This transfer will be in the ma
ture of quite a compliment to Captain
White, as he was the engineer to send
specifications and plans of the proposed
naval station at Pearl Harbor 1t is
evident from the fact that he is to go
to the Bureau having that work in
charge, that the government intends to
start work very soon on the Pearl Har-
Dor station.

SEVENTY SEVEN
JAPANESE
RESCUED
The ThetiS Returned To Port
This Morning With Load Of
Bird-PoaCherS Who Were On
Verge Of Starvation,

The United States Revenue cutter
Thetis returned to port this morning
with an unusual complement of men,
her crew being supplemented by seven
ty-seven Japanese rescued from star
walton on Lisiansky Island on the 18th
of this month.
The Japanese are a queer looking lot
and their delight in being in touch with
the world once more was evident as
the Thets came in and they crowded
along the rail. The men are all MEM
bers of the bird poaching party whose
presence on the island was reported by
Captain Niback of the U. S. S. Iroquois
Since they were last heard off however
a disaster overlook the expedition, their
schooner the Yeiju Maru being lost
in a gale with her crew of ten men.
None of the bodies were recovered.
The head man of the Japanese Is
named Tsunetaro Sugiye and from him
Captain Hamlet learned the story Of
the disastrous expedition.
1.-The Japanese schooner the Yeiju
Maru was owned by a Tokyo concern"
said Captain Hamlet this morning,
"They fitted out in Yokohama and sail
ed for the island in December last
Their ship was damaged by being poop
ed, a portion of her stern being carried
away and they put into Midway Island
for assistance. They got some lumber
there and then proceeded to Lisiansky
Island on their poachtng quest. They
arrived there on January Sth and land
ed most of their supplies. On the 18th
of the same month a heavy gale struck
the island and the Yeiju dragged her
moorings going to pieces on the roof.
Her crew of ten men who were aboard
were drowned the bird killers and taxi
dermists who were ashore being un-
able to go to their assistance. A boat
and some sails were saved from the
wreck.
THE men went ahead killing birds
and preparing the skins and on Fe-
bruary 9th the schooner Tiyu Maru
owned by the same concern arrived at
the island leaving thirty-nine more
men and information that she would
return to take the party home in a
short time. Weeks went by, but there
was no return of the Tfyu. The Japs
on Lisiansky had not heard of the war
with Russia and were at loss to ac-
count for the non-arriVal of the schoOn-
er. 1t soon became apparent to them
that they were in serious straits Their
supply or rice was small and their other
provisions of other sorts were exhaust
ed so they set to work killing birds for
food. Thousands upon thousands of
tern, gulls and other birds were slaugh-
tered and the scanty meat on them was
dried. They lived on this food, )eked
out with a little rice, 1ntil we arrived
on the 10th of this month. They were
in a state of wild excitement when the
Thetis landed her first crew and were
overjoyed to learn that they were to
be taken awaV.
1.-The destruction to bird life wrought
by the Japanese on the island was
something appalling" continued Captain
Hamlet "They had three hundred and
thirty-fve cases of plumage packed.
The feathers were all properly pre-
