On April after the arrival of The British

"Esang" at Santaolangtow, a port on the Yalu River about eight miles below Antung, Chief Officer Edward Robert Leonard Paul died sud denly.

After the anchor was let go, Mr. Paul put up his hand and felt on the deck; the action of the officer's hand was taken as a signal to make the anchor chain fast; the sudden strain on the chain caused ito snap, with the result that the anchor was lost and the Esang nearly collided with the "Chengti," a B. & S. boat.
