Chinese steamer Hainan sinks with heavy loss of life
More than 300 Chinese aboard the Hainan died when the 1940 ton vessel struck a rock near Abalan and sank minutes later. Only about 20 survivors were rescued, with lifeboats tossed adrift for an hour before being sighted. Survivors say the ship carried 300 Chinese passengers and crew. The Junk ferried the 20 survivors to Hong Kong as search for others continued. The ship, commanded by Captain Jensen, was manned by British chief and second engineers, with other officers Russian or Chinese.
