Mother of Thirteen
Elopes with Youth
OSAKA, Japan, Nov. G (JP)—A pro
saic mother of thirteen children has
deserted her poet husband here in
favor of a practical youth who believes
in putting business before demands

had been married to his wife. Sada,
15 years when he decided that his
work called for a trip to Tokio. He
returned to find that his 41year-old
spose had fled with one of his former
pupils, Ryuko Urayama, who had es
tablished a love nest in Asahigawa,
Hakkaido.
Ooki is composing a poem express
ing his sorrow because of his wife’s
unfaithfulness.

19 GOLDSEEKERS
LOST IN SIBERIA
TURN CANIBALS
PASSING PACK TRAIN RESCUES
THEM AS THEY MADE READY
KILL MEMBER BAND
MOSCOW, Nov. 6 (£>)— Nineteen
gold seekers lost in the forests of
eastern Siberia have just been res
cued. They report they were forced
to resort to cannibalism during the
nine weeks of their wanderings and
ate 11 of their companions who had
died of hunger and exposure.
They were on the verge of killing
a twelfth, chosen by lot to sacrifice
his life for the remaining few, when
a passing pack train bound for the
Aldan river mines rescued them.
Barred by the Yakutsk authorities
from entering the gold fields where
lack of provisions had already pro
duced a serious emergency the party
of adventurers evaded the border pa
trol early this summer and took a
short cut for the Aldan region. They
had provisions for a week, but no
arms.
Lost in the Wilds
After three days steady marching
through the forests they lost their
way and for more than two months
wandered aimlessly through an unin
habited wilderness stretching north
to the Arctic ocean.
They consumed all their food, then
ate their boot-tops and leather belts.
The first member of the party to die
was a Chinese. The party held a
conference and decided to put self
preservation above sentiment.
Eight weeks after the beginning of
their wanderings they numbered only
19, but all of the 19 were equally
strong or equally weak, and none had
died for two weeks.
Saved in Time
They cast lots by choosing pebbles
from a hat. The man who drew the
one colored pebble was to die. Luck
ily for the conscience of the party
the man who drew the colored peb
ble had two sons in the party and
they prevailed on their comrades to
allow their father to live one more
day.
On the day of execution the party
came across a stray horse, killed and
ate it, and strengthened for a week
lived to welcome a pack train loaded
with provisions.
Yakutsk authorities have redoubled
their vigilance to prevent unlicensed
and ill-equipped gold seekers from en
tering the Aldan valley.
Plenty of Husbands

SALEM, Ore., Nov. 6 (JP)—Up to

den her real identity and has refused
