Daily Mail overseas edition. the fol-
lowing telegram appeared from the
Shanghai correspondent:
Considerable anxiety is felt as to
the whereabouts of Mr. R. Arundel, a
British subject, who was a water tend
er on board the Asia, the Pacific mail
steamer which a few days ago was
wrecked on the Taichow Islands and
subsequently looted by Chinese
pirates.
AT the time of the wreck it is
supposed that he was taken aboard
one of the pirate junks which gather
ed about the doomed vessel, but moth
ing has since been heard of him. The
Asia was stripped clean by the pirat-
ical fisherfolk, the loot including silk
to the value of $4,000.
"The British and American Consuls
here are cooperating to bring pressure
to bear on the Viceroy of Fukien ana
the Governor of Hongchow to find
Mr.. Arundel and to restore the stolen
silk"
Arundel was duly found, and pass
ed through here on the Monolia on
his way to San Francisco. Those on
board did not think that the disap-
pearance of Arundel for a while had
any sensational side to it, and we're
astonished to know that a statement
had been made to the effect that a
ransom had to be paid for his return.
