Puzzles Mariners

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 17.-Old
seadogs yesterday were much puzzled
when tramp steamship mado' its
way into port flying flag with red,
yellow, blue, white and black stripes
from its staff at the stern. It was a
new one on these old salts as 1t
was the first steamship to ever, reach
this port with the new flag of the
Chinese republic.
The ship was the Hwah Yih, for
merly the Austrian steamship Sile-
sia, taken over by the Chinese re-
public soon after they had declared
war against the Central Powers. On
the ships bows the name looks like
a big laundry check. She came
from Chile with 1000 tons of nitrate
of soda, which will be used in max
ing powder and other explosives.
The Ships company comprises ten
European officers and forty-five
Cinnamon, who are sailors, sfiremen
cooks. cabin boys and stewards. The
English officers are not fluent in the
twisty Chinese tongue and orders to
the sailors are given through the
boatswain, who bites" off English
with some Deatnoss and dispatch.
