SHENG AN TO BE SALVAGED
INVESTIGATIONS OF PIRACY
Dairon, July 17. The daring piracy and brutal murders on the 8.8. Sheng An are recalled to-day by the news that salvage work has started on the ill-fated vessel, which was run ashore by the five foreign buc- cancer's off Hoshigaura, or Star Bench, Dairen's popular summer resort,
The salvage boat Azuma Maru arrived recently-from-Moji-and; has commenced operations on the ship which has been left in its stranded condition since July 1, when it was deserted by the murderers, who tried to escape. It has on board a full cargo of coal, groundnut oil and other com- modities, which the pirates de- clared they intended to sell with the ship itself at Valparaiso,
Investigations into the case are going on and its is expected that the prisoners will be tried by a local court here. The ship and her crew will, therefore, very probably be retained here as some of them will be needed as wit- nesses. Reuter.
