The Captain of the Hsian Teh as and some of the officers were saved by American launches and though taken charge of by the Chinese police upon arrival, they were later handed to the Japanese Consular police for investigation. A number of boats proceeded to search for the large number of bodies that had not been found, most of them being discovered later in the cabins of the half submerged vessel but many being picked up floating off the Wire- less Station, twenty dead being picked up in this way.
A Chinese woman suffering from multiple injuries to her head was admitted to the Kwong
