WEARY AND RAGGED, BUT CHEERFUL
Newchwang, To-day, Weary, ragged, and worn with anxiety as the result of their pro longed captivity, but showing the true British spirit of cheerfulness, the three Nanchang captives were brought safely to Panshan by Cap- tain Obata, chief of the Japanese gendarmerie at Newchwang, at 9 o'clock last night.
The ex-captives, who are suf-
fering from suppurated mos
quito bites, sald nothing of their
experiences, but expressed grati-
tude at the successful combined efforts of the Japanese and Man- chukuo authorities, resulting in their happy release.
Questioned as to their condition, the officers · ́ex- claimed "Are we `algight?” and then shouted gleefully in unison "Yes,"
Owing to their late return, the three ofiloer a are remaining at Panshan until the morning, when they will take train for Newchwang, where the British Consuly. Mr. Clark, and the commander : of the
destroyer, H.M.S. Whitbed, are waiting to receive them and con- gratulate and extend thanks to their rescunya: 22 Residenta of Nawchwaig are waiting with personal and medi- cat comforts to attend to their wel- fare.
