MISSIONARY TO
HAINAN, CHINA
ENR0UTE HOME
Rev. J. Frank Steiner Sails from
Shanghai Aboard Japanese
Exchange Liner
To Meet American Vessels in
Portuguese East Africa for
Exchange of Nationals

Rev. J. Frank Steiner, native of
the Swiss Settlement and missionary
to Hainan island, off the south coast
of China, is enroute to America on
board the japanese liner, Asama Ma
III and is expected here the latter
part of next month.
According to press dispatches, Rev.
Steiner has been in Hong Kong for
many months, part of which time he
was interned by the Japanese since
they controlled the area.
Another Japanese liner is being
used to transport the 900 Americans
who were in Hong Kong, Shanghai
and other Japanese controlled areas
of the far east.
Leave June 10
The two liners left Shanghai about
June 10. The Japanese liners and
American steamers will meet at Mos
ambique, Portuguese, East Africa
where repatriation of American and
Japanese nationals will take place.
Normally Pacific crossing from
the Far East to the California coast
takes about two weeks. With the
round about journey to East Africa
and other delays due to war time re-
strictions it is expected that Rev.
Steiner will not be in this country un-
til four or five weeks.
Friends and relatives here were
much relieved to hear of the an
nouncement of Rev. Steiner's return
voyage. Grave concern was felt here
in January when it was reported by
press dispatches a number of Amer1-
can missionaries had been slain by
Japanese forces on Hainan island.
Hainan Field
The minister worked in the Hainan
mission field under the direction of
the Presbyterian Board OF Foreign
Missions which had maintained -four
stationed on the island.
Rev. Steiner, a son of U. S. Steiner
of the Settlement, has has been
worker in the Chinese mission field
for the past 27 years. Rev. and Mrs
Steiner. accompanied by their 16 year
old daughter, Mary Elizabeth visited
relative and friends in the Blufftor
district in the summer of 1888 when
they were forced to return to the
! limited States because of the fierce
