Yokohama, April 10.-Roy G. AM
drews and his bride arrived here today
from New York and San Francisco on
the steamer Tenyo Maru, equipped
and ready to start ON their long hon.
eymoon trip and tiger hunt through
the remote wilds of western China
Little Mrs. Andrews probably is the
first white girl to go into such mis-
sion, for her honeymoon.
Andrews is in charge of the Amer
ican Museum of Natural History's ASH
attic geological expedition; and he and
his bride are to bring back with them
tigers, leopards, elephants, specimens
of the rare "Snow Leopard" and
huge, maltese-brown, man-eating IT,
ger" together with many other wild
beasts of the Chinese jungles and
mountains.
Mrs. Andrews is the photographer
of the expedition. She carries new
motion picture camera, invented by
Carl Akeley, African explorer and ele-
phant stalker. She also will take col
or pictures of animals in the moun+
tains of China.
| I'VE will go right into the field OF
tiger hunting upon our arrival in Chi
ma" said Mrs. Andrews, "and il we
are fortunate we will send some fine
lspecimens of the man eating tiger to
the museum. IT. our hopes are fulfill-
ed the members of our party will be-
gin to look for big game about the sec.
ond week in May. Our schedule calls
for a year of actual work in the
field"
At Peking the expedition will obtain
letters to the viceroys of the different
provinces in China Around Foochow.
a large city on the coast between
Shanghai and Hong Kong, the tiger
hunting will begin. for it is in this re.
gion the tiger abounds.
From Peking," said Andrews, I'VE
| will sail down the coast to Fu-Chau.
in Fu-Kien province. Here Mr.. Heller
and Perry Caldwell, missionary, will
join us for hunt through the Bohea
mountains, some 800 miles inland from
the strait of Formosa. There is big
game in this region and we should OBJ
tain some valuable and new speci-
mems.
From Fu-kien my wife, Heller and
! will go up the coast to the mouth of
the great Yangtse river by steamer.
which will take us up the Yangtse to
Tung-ting lake. Here we will follow
another stream by flatboat as far as
we can get toward Wei-Chau PROV
ince.
This province is one of the widest
and the most difficult to enter in Chi
ma. There are no roads and few inhab-
itants. The country is mountainous
and rugged This will be the main
field or our work on this trip, though
we probably will push on into the pro-
, vince of Yunnan, unless the revolu-
tion that has recently broken out there
, makes it too dangerous. We may
even go into Tibet.
"All this country is semi-tropical:
, cold in the mountainous regions and
/. warm in the valleys. This part Of
Central Asia probably formed the
+ birthplace of the human race"
