AN EPIC OF THE SEA."

Honolulu, September 12. The vicissitudes of the American seaplane crew in their ten daya drift are described, in a long account issued by Commander Rodgers. He says they sailed before the wind about Affy miles a day. They cut the fabric of the lower wing and rigged up a foresail and constructed a little water stili by burning wood from the edges of the lower wings. By this means they obtained one and a half panteens of water in five hours distillation. They devised lee-boards to assist their crossing of the Kaual channel. The plane encountered a heavy rain squall on the eighth day and caught two gallons of water in fabric taken from the wings. They rigged up a wireless transmitter which failed to work although the receiving apparatus gave informa- tion of everything happening around.-Reuter's American Service.

Commander Rodgers and his four seaplane comrades were wildly welcomed on arrival. All were ordered to hospital for further examination, food and sleep. Ono said big black sharks followed them daily, apparently waiting for choice bits of human flesh,

China is panies, though rich fibre-producing country. The provinces of Kiangsi, Kwonglung, Hunan; Fukien, and Szechwan are famous for the cloth. Consi- dorable quantities are also pro- duced in Kiangsu, and compara- tively small quantities in Hupeh, Kwangsi, and Honan.

The principal foreign market for Chinese grass cloth is Korea with the centre at Seoul, consum- ing at least 70 per cent. of the total export. The second import-] ant foreign market is Hongkong, which, however, consumes only a small part of the import, the larger part being re-exported to Siam, Singapore, Straits, Dutch Indies, British India, Turkey, Persia, Egypt, Aden, Philippine Islands, and other destinations.
