The Panamanian freighter Shapur was outside Chinese territorial waters when a Nationalist destroyer fired a warning shot and ordered Skipper A. Johnston to stop his ship. After being detained for about 31 hours, during which period the personnel were questioned scrupulously regarding the movement of the ship and the nature of her cargo, the Shapur was given a four-hour deadline to leave the Nationalist base.
With only about 22 tons of fuel oil left, it would be futile to make the trip back to Hang Kong. All requests for ro- plenishments were turned down by the Nationalists,
