CANOES STRANGE CREW.
Boat Drifted 1000 Miles-National.
ity Of Occupants a Puzzle.


From the Shanghai Times
An inwe I'd bound steamer was hailed
by the pilot boat stationed outside the
mouth of the Yangtse river and asked
to take three passengers on hoard and
bring them up to Shanghai. These pas
sengers proved to be black men OF small
stature, with frizzled hair and faces OF
the negrfto type. All that could be dis
covered about them was that they had
been picked up In a canoe by some Chi
nese fishermen OF the Chusan Islands.
When found they were in an emaciated
condition and had evidently been exposed
In their little craft for many days with
little to eat or drink. From signs made
by the men II was understood that there
were originally 1--WE in the party. but that
two had died. The castaways were we'll
treated by the Chinese and then brought
UP on a junk and handed over to the pilot
boat
AS soon as the Tamsui arrived in port
the river police. Their only clothing con-
sisted OF shirts and trousers given 70
them by the officers OF the vessel. They
wore massive ear ornaments of coral ard
shells with necklaces Of the same mate
rdals, and one OF the men. who was con-
sidera bly, older than the others and had
beard. was tattooed on his arms and legs.
Two boxes which the men had brought
with them were searched with a view To
finding a clue to their nationality, but the
contents which consisted mainly Of Irvine
and hooks merely showed that the
strangers were fishermen. For two days
the mystery OF their voyage was unsolv-
ed, as no one could be found who could
speak or understand their language.
Eventually. as Il was supposed that
they belonged TO one Of the German
islands around New Guinea, they were
taken to the German consulate. where a
map was put before them and the names
of q number OF islands were read out.
When Saipan Island. one OF the I.adrore
group, was mentioned the men became
intensely excited and showed BY signs
that that was where they had come from.
They are now under the care OF the Ger
man consul, who is making arrangements
to have them sent to their homes via
Hongkong.
The Ladrone Islands are about 900
miles from Shanghai in a southeastern
direction. and 1t Is still a mystery how
these dark fishermen came to be picked
up so far away from their native island.
as the prevailing winds OF the last two
months have been from the north How
long they were adrift in their canoe Isl
still unknown, as no one has yet been
found who can speak to them In a tongue
they understand.

she took long chance. and that night
size reported the loss and at the same
time offered n reward OF so for the re-.
