BLOWN OUT TO SEA. Ten Japanese castaways, blown off tho Japanese coast in a gale three months ago, were rescued by a fisheries patrol boat off the coast of British Columbia. In a small dismasted schooner they had drifted across the North Pacific. For 50 days, subsisting on a little food and only rain water, the Japanese sailors tried to reach land. At the end of July the schooner went to pieces on a reef, and the men drifted on to an uninhabited island of the Queen Charlotte group, on the wreckage of their vessel. They lived by fishing, keeping up fires day and night. Finally two of the men made sn effort to reach an inhabited island on a raft, and were picked up.
