STORY OF HORROR
OFF SANDY HOOK
IN DEATH BATTLE
0utnumbered Schooner Crew
Killed In Fight With
Chinese

NEW YORK, June IA story of
horror at sea, within shadow of the
Sandy Hook rum fleets rec lezvous,
reminiscent of the days or. buccan-
eering on the Spanish main. was
drawn piecemeal today from Is Chi
nese survivors of the man snug
Cling schooner Mary Beatrice, picked
up adrift last night at the entrance
to the harbor.
They unfolded story of a hand
to-hand encounter between 20 Chi
nese passengers and the crew Of
four. In the fight the crew and
five Chinese were slaughtered and
thrown overheard after the uniden-
titled captain had deserted the craft
with $4,000 passage money. When
their story was concluded, the au-
thorities were mystified as they were
when the trim little schooner slip
ped into the harbor with her strange
passengers.
The suspicion of the Chinese were
aggravated when the mate demand
ed an additional $3.50 Two white
men and two negroes comprised the
crew. Resistance to the demand for
more money was said to have start
ed general battle at dusk Tues
day, implements of every kind being
brought into play.
Struggle For Lives.
Interpreters gathered from ac-
counts given by the excited Chinese
that the attack first was made on
one of their number. when all joined
in the struggle for self-preservation
using knives, axes, razors. marlin
spikes, or anything that could be
used as a weapon.
The out-numbered crew was over
whelmed and killed and with five
of their opponents who fell in the
fray, their bodies were cast into
the sea.
The mystery was intensified by
the absence of the ships papers or
navigating instruments.
The Is Chinese will be taken be-
fore officials of the Chinese bureau
of immi grafton tomorrow. II it Is
found that the schooner was British,
1t was said the Chinese would be
turned over to the British govern
ment, and IL the craft was of Ameri-
can registry the federal authorities
probably will prosecute the Is men
for the killing of the crew.

Norfolk Southern Among First
Roads to Announce Months
Earnings.

NEW YORK, June 26.-Publication
of earnings of the principal railroads
for the month of May have been de-
layed several days beyond the usual
time. They began to appear late yes
terday and the first three TO be issued
gave some inklinG of what may be
expected from the roads as a whole,
since they came from lines In widely
separated sections of the country.
Wabash. with lines in the central
west, reported surplus after charges
of STO5,000. as compared with only
s1+s.000 for May. 1922 Southern Pa
citic. representing the Pacific coast
and southwestern states, reported
substantial increases in both gross
and net. while the Norfolk Southern
reported Il small increase in gross
with practically all of IL saved for
net. indicating that conditions in the
south were favorable during the
month.
While reports from only three lines
are by no means conclusive AZ TO the
results for the lines in general. yet
they bear oul the indications already
given by record breaking car load
ings that May earnings in general
will make an exceedingly favorable
showing.
