foreign sailors and fled. He returned with two more coolies and challenged the seamen, who were about to return to their steamer from the Customs wharf. The conile, Osaka'by name, stabbed one of the crew named Morters, a Dutch subject, in the abdomen, and inflicted a nasty cut on the right arm of Beckers, another Dutchman. The men fell into the water. "The polien arrived and arrested the coolie. The foreigners were badly injured and are receiving medical treatment at a local hospital.
