China where they were TO invesu-
gate mint on their way they met
some Chinese carrying precious
stones and these we're bought by the
Japanese for about $4,000.
This set the rumor around that
the Japanese were carrying a large
sum of money Bandits tracked them
down. but when they were taken TO
the robbers den and searched, their
pockets only yielded loo taels $500.
The brigands at first proposed to
slit the throat of their victims but
on hearing that Kumata was the
representative Of the wealthy Mitsui
Co. they liberated his companion
with the message that Kumata would
be held until 10000 taels ($6,0OO)
were forthcoming.
A party of Japanese and Chinese
officers were sent out in search of
the missing man, and thanks to the
fact that they took the cash with
them, they found him.
