Fishermen Josh
Jap, Who Kills
Two and Himself
(Prospector)
On June 11, at Sanborn Harbor,
Nagai island, one of the Shumagin
group, a Japanese ran amuck, killed
two of the fishermen at the fishing
; station there, wounded three others
; and set fire to several of the build
ings, following which he killed him
self. The story of the murder and
suicide was published in the Pros
pector a short time after, with all the
details then obtainable.
The coast guard steamer Unalga
recently brought mail from that
place, and among the letters received
by the marshal’s office is one from
the Jap who committed the crime, and
sheds much light on the story of the
killing and the causes leading there
to.
The letter was written in Japanese,
apparently a few days before the
shooting took place, and was trans
lated into English by another Japan
ese. It reads as follows:
“Citizen of Imperial Japan hereby
gives note to Sir Marshal,
“I came from San Francisco as
cook for the fishermen last spring,
but one man often intimidate me by
saying, ‘This is word from govern
ment.’ So I quit the job. Then after
I came to this place the men intimi
date me more than ever. They said:
‘We will kill you by the hand of the
Governor, if that is impossible we will
get a man killer to kill you.’ Such
plans were made to kill me so I killed
them and myself instead of getting
killed myself for nothing.
“Now, officer, how would you judge
about this, what would you do under
the circumstances? Suppose there
were eight men in a gang, one of the
eight tried to save me, but he, too,
was then intimidated, which made me
grieve for this man.
“I did not mean to kill so many
people, I was aiming at one.
“JAPANESE MURATA.
“I wish you would stop this treat
ment from the American govern
ment.”
This letter was found among the
effects of the Jap after the crime, and
was forwarded here. It tells a story
of persecution at the hands of the
rough fishermen, who, finding time
hanging heavily upon their hands,
amused themselves by scaring the ig
norant Jap and as a consequence
brought upon themselves a heavy
punishment.
FORTUNE HUNTERS TO
SALVAGE \ STEAMER
WITH SILVER ABOARD
WASHINGTON, August !).—An
nouncement was made here that a
fortune-hunting expedition, backed
by New York financiers, is off the
Virginia capes ready to begin the sal
vage of the Wardo liner Merida,
which was sunk four years ago in col
lision. The liner carried $600,000 in
silver bars.
The expedition is in charge of Geo.
D. Etillson, who for many years wa
in charge* of the government di dng
work, and who supervised the raising
of the, submarine F-4 in Honolulu
harbor last year.
Seafaring men express the opinion
that 90 per cent of the vessels wreck
ed at sea sank in water lews than 300
'• ot deep. If the treasure search f. >•
the Merida is successful the expedi
tion will move on to other wrecks, a
corporation having been organized to
make deep-sea salvage a regular bus
iness. Percy Rockefeller, Rear Admi
d C. M. Chester, retired, and Chari.
H. Sabin are some of the men who
are backing the scheme.
SEARCHERS ABANDON
EFFORTS OF FINDING
MISSING ISLAND BOYS
DOUGLAS, July 26.—With the re
turn of the Celtic last night, practi
cally all the boats which have been
searching for the missing boys, Gal
vas, Hubbard and Salmonson, have
returned. All hope of finding the
boys alive has been abandoned and
only the possibility of picking up
their bodies has led the searchers to
continue.
• A box of provisions, including a
cake, was found at the upper end of
the channel Sunday and was identified
as part of the outfit that Galwas had
taken along.
The Celtic returned with a box
camera which had been picked up
along the beach and which was also
identified as one belonging to one of
the boys.
The parents of the boys are con
vinced that the boys camped one night
and started out early Monday morn
ing, undoubtedly befoie the water
was calm enough to cross.
