STRANDED CREW’S SUFFERINGS
Treated Like Criminals By
Soviet
(Received July 10, 8.30 p.m.) Shanghai, July 9.
Captain Johnson, master of the steamer Therese Moller, on which a New Zealander, P. Cairnes, is first officer, complains bitterly that, after being stranded in Hoia Bay, north-east of Saghailen, on October 13, Soviet troops compelled them to remain throughout the winter aboard their ice-covered ship, where they were treated like criminals and suffered intense privations. The temperature often fell to 40 degrees below zero. The Chinese crew also suffered acutely.
