Humour exys that the big firm, knowing of the reasofa expected arrival, vet ships to watek for her, seized her, murdered her crew; and ran up its own flag.

The clerks of the smaller em are said to be highly excited, and to declare that if they can procure any proof of the story, they will let the biz trm know whe thor these outrages can be perpetrated with im punity. On the morning after this appeared in the columns of the Chomu Shimbun, three other journals, the Nieni Nichi Shimbun, the Bubka Shimps, and the Keren Shimpo published ou photic denials of it in aliost precisely similar phraseology.

The notion of a Power like China being able to possess such a ship' as the ichi Kan for a whole year without other cons tries mowing anything about it, is treated with utter scorn by the three journals.
