' Pacific Ocean, Dec. IS. Stress of weather, which com pelled the Commercial Pacific C'aida Company's, schooner Fiaurence Ward to deviate front her course from Tlonolult to a cable station and run for L-e Hermes Island for shelter. was the means of bringing about the rescue of three marooned Japanese plumage hunt ers and saving them from further tor ture and starvation. The Fiaurence Ward Is commanded by Captain' lieorge li. Pilti. , She ws bringing supplies here from Honolulu when a heavy gale broke and she wis compelled to se.-k shelter at Lee Hermes 1 Island. S'l mill's southeast of Midwav. Distress signals were observed on shore and Captain Piltss sent a smali boat to Investigate. Thiee Japanese sailors were found. Two were suffering from scurvy. The Japanese-were ir.imediately taken aboard the Fiaurence Ward, where they were given food and clothins:. Through an interpreler one of the Japanese said they bad been for three months with out food except fish and sea bircl?; , NO fresh water was obtainable and the' men were compelled to drink crudely dis til'ed sea, T. When a fire was required the men were compelled to light it by concen trating the rays of the sun upon small pieces of tinder through the crystal of a watch. According to the Japanese the schoon er Kloho Maru. of Shinigwan. Tokio. Captain Sugiea. put into Hermes about July 1 and landed four men to collect the phut118" of He;' ''I'ds. Tiie Kloho Maiu departed, leaving one month's pro visions for the men on tiie island and Intending shortly to return and take them off. The vessel never returned. Soon after the departure of the- ves sel a terrific storm broke and huge se.is swept over the island., carrying away most of tl.e supplies and ef.'eots of the marooned men. On what was left Ihey subsisted as long as it lasted. One of the men died from exposure and im proper food and the other three nton could not have survived long. The three are being cared for at the cable sta tion and in a few days will be tak-n to Honolulu. STEAL PRIEST'S FORTUNE I tiMTiipulotis Couple Hold Old Mn jVri.-oner and Then Itol) II I in.
