SAW ]. A. LOW
BUT FEW DAYS AGO

When Purser A. E. Rennie, of the
Pacific Mail steamer Mongolia, landed
Sunday and heard of the death OF
James A. Low in Vladivost0k, he was
greatly shocked. 1t was only a few
days since he had seen Mr.. Low and
his bride and the story of his death
seemed hardly possible. In speaking
of it he said:
at is just few days since I saw
Mr.. Low and his bride. They had been
to Manila and on their return trip were
passengers on the Mongolia from
Shanghai to Nagasaki. They left US
on December 30 and sailed for vladi-
vostok the next day. At the time Mr..
Low had a slight cold, but seemed to
be in good health and I never thought
that he would pass away so suddenly
MIR. Lows firm had sold a large
amount of lumber to a big concern in
Manila and it was to look after this
that he made the trip. The
news that I hear now is certainly
shocking. His wife was a very clever
and pretty young woman, and made a,
great many friends while on the Mon
golia." -
