THE CHEFOO CALAMITY,

THE TEXT OF THE VERDICT.

An Inquisition taken at Chefoo at the China Inland Mission School before Herbait Francis Brady, His Majesty's Consul acting as Coroner, in accordance with the 53rd section of the Ubina and-Japan Order in Council 1865, upon view of the body of Hugh Gray Owen then and there lying dead upon the oaths of John Ryrie Greaves, Ernest Harry Douglas Derrick and Gardinor Christopher Frederick Russel. (Jurors,) the several persons whose names are hereunder written, good and lawful men of Chefoo aforesaid, who being then, and there duly sworn and charged to enquire on the part of our Lord the King' when, what, how, and by what means the said Hugh Gray Owen came to his death (which said loquisition was then and there duly adjøamed until the 19th of july at M.M's Consulate, Chefvo, and again until the 21st of July, and again, until the 22nd of July, and the said Inquisition being nów further heid,) the said Jurors du

"

UPON THEIR OATHS say that the said Hugh Gray-Owen died of choleta at the C. I. Mission School on the 8th day of July, 1902; and judging by the evidence which has been submitted to us, we are strongly of opinion at the deaths of the other twelve boys of the school who died between the 6th and 10th of July were also due to a similar cause. We are unable to form any positive opinion as to how the disease was contracted, or conveyed into the School, but in view of the fact that all. the deaths and all the cases of illness presented similar characteristics, and occurred at the two

tables (situated at one side of the dining hall) where tained chicken pies were known to have been served (with the exception of that of the lad Momsen who partook of a second helping supposed to have come from the tainted pies) we are clined to believe that these pics were the source of contagian.

In Witness whereof as well the said Herbert

Francis Brady as the juror atoresaid have hereunto subscribed their names the day and, year last above written, p

MAN OVERBOARD!

SPICIDE FROM TUE "BAYERN." Apparently safering from some mental bernation, Alfred Kaufmum, a commercial traveller, *committed suicide early Saturday morning, jolt. by jumping into the sea from the deck of the German Mail Steamship Bayern, says the Shanghai Times. Though every available assistance was tendered in the hope of effecting a rescue, the man refused all aid and sank beneath the waves. was not recovered.

His body

Mr. Kaufmann was the Asiatic Representa- tive of a prominent hardware Firm of Solingen, Germany. He joined the steamer at Singa port accompanied by an Indian servant. His destination was Shanghai.

Nothing unusual was noticed about Kauf- mann until Friday when his peculiar actions attracted the attention of "a number of the steamer's passengers, though none thought that the man contemplated suicide. ***

At 1.30 am Saturday morning the steamer was brought to a sudden stop by the cry of man overboard. The person could be plainly seen in the water.

•

Immediately two life. buoys were hurled in the direction of the drowning man by the First- Officer and Quartermaster, and a chair by the Paiser all of which landed within the man's grasp. Instead of accepting the proffered help the would-be suicide held his hands above his head and sank from sight. In three minutes from the time of the first alarm of "Man Overboard" a boat was lowered and hovered over the spot where the man was last seen, but the body did not come to the surface again.

man was

On investigation being made as to the identity of the suicide it was found that the His cabin was starched and a note was found addressed to the Cap tain, in which he stated that his deed was e kindly requested the Captain to have his fadian servant returned io Singapore,

Further, we, the said jurors, taking into con- sideration the grunt responsibility pertaining to the charge of so many young boys, are of opinion that the direction of THE HOUSE KEEPING DEPARTMENT LEAVES premeditated.

AUCH TO BE DESIRED, and that a thorough supervision of the kitchen, its utensils and surgundings was lacking-too much, in our judgment, dating been left to the care of the native Chinese servants.

We consider further that the medical officer aftached to the School should be consulted from time to time as to the suitability of the diet, and that the present ice box is insufficient for the requirements of so large an establish-

ment.

We wish to record our profound sympathy. with the parents and relatives of the boys, who lost their lives in this sad calamity as well as with the apthorities of the School, who have been placed in so sad and trying a position.
