To Find Ship In Distress

MYSTERIOUS FLARES

SEEN AT SEA

TOR

All the thrill of a rescue at were experienced by the passengers aboard the President Taft while the Uner was on her way to Manila.

The President Taft arrived here this morning from Manila and those after aboard related how shortly leaving Hongkong on their trip south flares were seen about 20 miles ahead and directly in the ship's course. The flares were apparently distress signals -three lights in quick succession.

The word was pased round that the ship's sudden. Incroase in speed was to reach the distressed ship as quickly an_possible.

Taft wirelessed The President Hongkong and could find out nothing of a ship in distress and no ship in the vicinity, including that showing flares, replied to the Taft's signals.

About an hour later when the Pre- sident Taft came up with the "di tressed" ship she found that instead' of a vessel about to go to the bottom she was one of a squadron of British warships on maneoeuvres,

The warships included H.M.S. Kent, which was carrying Vice Admiral Sir Charles Little, to Manlia.

The

squadron arrived in Manila shortly after the President Taft

which had continued on her way after discovering that all was well.
