One of the most remarkable cases of kidnap time past was unearthed by Captain J. H. Brown, master of the steamer · Ekman, the other day, in a very ingenious way,
The Chenan is a vessel belonging to Messrs. Butterfeld Rod Swire, and plies between this
port and Shanghai. On the afternoon of the iBtb alto, just prior to the departure of the steamer from the Northern port, a man went' that member of the crew the boatswain. To of the crew he said." that his wife and two children wanted to proceed to Hong Long and as there was no proper accom modation aboard, would he mind hiring his cabin," The boatswain consented, sed; the visitar loft, ---
At about two o'clock next morning a woman, ippeared, on the ship (with three mate children, each about five years old, and was taken to the boatswain's cabin, where she was installed. Everything appeared above board, and the Chens some hours later weighed anchor for this port. Twenty-four hours af cr the Northers port had been left behind, some. thing "fisby" was noticed in the bostiwain's' cabin which led to action being taken.
Captain Browe learnt that the woman in that room could not understand what her "three children" were saying! The children, all Shank bai-ladders, told their "mother" in that dialect, that they wanted tea. The mother,

ese, desired to know what they wanted. And so this wast on, until finally Captain Brown turned the children over to the crew to be attended to, while their alleged mother was confined to her cabin.
On the 21st, the vessel reached Hongkong and the woman was turned over to Isipector Langley, at the Water Police Station, while the three little boys, whose photographs were taken and given to the steward of the ship, were ac› commodated by the police. The Northern part was notified of the occurrence by wira, sent by a certain Chinese newspaper in the Colony, and according to Captain Brown, in order to show on what a scale kidnapping is being conducted.at the Northern port, there were over 100 parente waiting the return of his vessel to get back their missing children.
The active steward of the Chekan, now. in possession of the boys' photographs, went to work to find their parents. That it was hard work cannot be denied: that he was successful In two cases deserves great praise. He searched Shanghai for many hours. Firstly, be found the faiber of one of the boys, who is an ex-com- pradore to the Mitsui Bussao Kaisha. He had missed his son for two months. Then a well to-do lady recognised another of the pictures; but the parents of the third boy could not bo' located. In the end passages were obtained for the two complainants, and they arrived here a day or two ago, to meet their missing children, who were kidnapped months ago and stored in Shanghai panding a suitable time for their removal.
