Marooned Japanese Brought
From HermeS Reef

Alone on a desert island in mid
ocean, death ever lowering over them,
deprived of every comfort, often on
the verge Of starvation and frequently
tortured by thirst, beaten by wind and
storm and for days and days without
the blessed boon of fire, such was the
lot of three japanese sailors who were
rescued from an island of the Pearl
and Hermes Reef by the Commercial
Pacific Cable Company's auxiliary sup
ply ship Flaurence Ward and brought
to Honolulu yesterday.
The castaway trio today bear little
resemblance to the human wrecks
which frantically greeted the landing
party of the schooner last month. Then
they were sorely stricken by scurvy
and terribly emaciated. Now they
have returned to their former sem
blance and are as fat and brown and
happy as any of their countrymen in
Honolulu.
The names of the rescued three are
Asanuma, Kikutchi and Showana. One
of the party, Sigiyama, succumbed to
the ravages of scurvy and today the
marrum grass is growing over his
grave on a little island of the Pearl
and Hermes Reef.
The quartet were sailors aboard the
japanese schooner Keioho Maru. The
vessel left Yokohama June Z bound
for the reefs and islands round Mid
way, on fishing and feather-hunting
expedition.
Arrived at the reef, the Keioho
Maru left four men on the island men
toned to gather bird skins, while she
departed to drop another party else
where. With the men were left pro.
visions sufficient for a month, also a
tent. The day the men went ashore
was July Z.
Soon after the schooner went away
great storm occurred which lasted
several days. The three survivors of
the feather hunting expedition believe
that the schooner was wrecked in this
storm. for they never saw her again
For a month the men had plenty OF
supplies, but tent which they had
was SO badly torn in the storm as tc
be rendered practically useless as 0
protection against the weather. To
take its place they made a hut out
of the long grass which covered the
island and, when the weather was fair
managed to be fairly comfortable. The
sail of a small boat which they went
ashore in was also used in this con
nection.
In this boat the men made excur
sions to other small islands in the vi
entity. Knowing nothing of naviga
ton, they We're unable to sail to Mid
way, and had perforee to remain where
they were until seen and rescued b,
some passing vessel.
Fortunately, the men had FISHING
hooks and lines with them and thu
were able to depend on fairly con
slant food supply.
They had also a limited supply .
matches, but it was soon exhausted i
lighting signal fires, cooking, and max
ing fires for the purpose of evaporatin
sea water, and then the worst of thei
troubles confronted them.
Their supply of fresh water was eA
hausted, and without matches the
could light no fire with which to d
the work of evaporating. Final.

The salt water steam was condensed
on plates placed over n pot in which
it was boiled, this supplying the only
drinking water.
After the party had been on the is
land about three months, Sigiyama
swelled up with scurvy and died. The
other three men were also afflicted
with the same disease, but managed
to stand death off until the Flaurenee
Ward was sighted.
After the provisions had been fin
ished the members of the party lived
on gulls' eggs, which were abundant;
on fish, which they caught, and sea-
birds which they killed with clubs. The
water round the island abounded with
large fish and now and again turtles
were found on the sand, where they
came to lay their eggs.
The island, as estimated by the jap
anese, was about quarters of
mile in circumference, and was of sand,
in which coarse grass grew freely. On
the island were found many timbers,
evidently belonging to some ship which
had gone to pieces on one of the neigh
boring reefs. This wood was used for
making signal fires.
All hope of getting away from the
island until picked up was destroyed
one day when the small boat was cap
sized in a storm and broken to pieces
by the giant rollers.
When there was no sun, and some
times this was the case for days at a
time, the castaways had no fire, and
then it was that they suffered most
from hunger and thirst, for when the
sun was hid the weather was generally
stormy, making fishing an impossibility.
| Then, after the men had been on the
island for some time, the birds took
| flight and did not return, thus cutting
off an important source of food supply.
One day the unfortunate trio espied
| in the dim distance schooner, and at
once made frantic signals with smoke
and a piece of sailcloth fixed, faglike,
| to a pole. This was December 5, five
months and eight days from the time
they first set foot on the island.
As luck would have it, the schooner
saw the signals and, sending a boat to
the island, rescued the three survivors
of the party.
The japanese were nearly crazed with
joy at their good fortune. For time
their eating and drinking was wisely
moderated, out of consideration for
their weak condition. They speedily
got strong, however, and are looking
forward to the day when they shall
again land in Japan and tell their
wonderful tale to those who will regard
them as men who Nave come back from
the realm of the dead.
The Flaurence Ward IS skipper, Cap
tain Piltz, kept careful lookout for
signs of other castaways in the neigh.
borhood of Midway, but saw no indi-
cations of any.
The fate of the Keioho Maru will
have to, it seems, remain unknown. II
is probable, however, that she went to
pieces on one of the reefs in the neigh.
borhood of Midway Island in the great
storm following the landing of the -four
members of her crew.
1t is also possible that on one Of

FACTORY TO TURN OUT EIGHT
AERIAL CRAFT LIKE ZEPPE-

Could Reach England With Fleet In
Ten Hours and Do incalculable
Damage On Land and Sea.

BERLIN, April 26.-In 1912 Germany
will have at least "a mammoth ZeppeA
lin ships. each capable of over-set ex-
cursions, and probably speedier than
any naval vessel. In the spresent year
she will have four Zeppelin's and the
magnificent factory at Frienrichschaf-
en-, endowed with over $1,5OO,OOO by
the German nation, will be able to turn
out at least eight vessels year after
this autumn. Thus by 1912, Germany
can have % Zepplins, and her other
military dirigibles will number at least
a dozen. England's rate of production
is one vessel per annum, and by 1872
she may have at most some five small
sized. slow, non-rigid airships, which,
as compared with the Zepplins will be
antiuuated cruisers to Dreadnoughts.
England has had no up-to-da ia
cilities for building large dirigibles,
even of the non-rigid type, and as for
the faster rigid craft of the Zeppleln
type, she has absolutely no experience
or resources, either of the government
or private. which would enable her TO
lay down such ships successfully.
British experts have sneered at the
Zeppelin, and they have never built
ship of this kind, though it is now
established to be the fastest and the
most powerful, and the only craft
which can attempt long oversee voy-
ages. The British fleet of five ships in
1912. if built according to the present
estimates, will be fitted only for over
