A fisherman brought me the tip of a lightning red which was identi- fied by Mr Baffey as belonging to the Japan, The wheel was discovered to the southward of Haimun bay. The fishermen told me that they had torn their nets and recovered some 20 bodies, one of them had $2000 on him. The bottom of the wreek was sand.
