ChIyo Maru Defes the Tide
The Japanese triple screw turbine
liner ChiyO MaFu. whose maiden VOy
age marked the latest addition to
Japan's merchant marine a success, is
now CDurnlng It's way back TO the coast
or Asia. The Chiyo sailed at 1 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The tidewise eX-
perts along the water front predicted
that the ebb would be running SO hard
az ! o'clock that the ChiyO would be
nailed fast to its berth and be unable
To get away until late in the afternoon.
The tide was there all right and
struck The liners off shore side with
the force Of a fair sized Niagara. But
the Chiyos powerful turbines We're
there also and when sailing time came
the Chiyo moved its way along the
face of the current and swung into the
stream as easily as If IL had been slack
water.
The Chiyo did not have large cargo,
one of the effects Of the Chinese boy
colt, and not SO many passengers as
the Chiyo's luxurious appointments
would seem certain to attract. Among
the passengers was Judge Rufus H
Jbayer who was appointed to sue
coed Wiley as judge of the United
States court in China with headquar-
tiers at shanghai.
The ChiyO-s passengers included;
