HELD BY BANDITS.
Efforts to Rescue Auckland
Missionary Fail.
NO TRACE OF CAPTORS
SHANGHAI, November 21
All efforts to rescue the Auckland missionary, Mr. A. Hayman, and his Swiss companion, Mr. R. A. Bosshardt, have proved abortive, in spite of further representations by the British authorities to the Nanking Government.
The latter is said to have ordered provincial officials to expedite the work, but the bandit captors have not been traced. They were last reported to be heading toward Szechwan.
Nine women, who were also captured in October, have been released for the purpose of conveying a demand for a ransom of 100,000 dollars for the restoration of the two men.
