VISIT TO THE EAST
EXCITING EXPERIENCES By Telegraph-Press Association WELLINGTON, November 24. Miss M. Sutherland, who returned to WeUlngton by the Wanganella to-day from a trip to the East, said a ship she was travelling in, the Nankin, was held up by a Japanese destroyer before the vessel reached Hongkong, boarded and her papers examined. All the time a gun was trained on her. One night a number of Japanese destroyers were passed and searchlights were played on the Nankin. Submarines could be seen manoeuvring around. Miss Sutherland had left for New Zealand before the fighting began In earnest. “We were not allowed to go to Shanghai,” she said, “and even Canton was not safe to go to, but I visited Yokohama. Instead of a fortnight, I had only five days in Japan. I enjoyed the visit very much, the Japanese treating us all very well.”
