MISS IRIS WILKINSON
REPORTED AT SUCHOW.
STAYING WITH AMERICAN MISSIONARIES. (Recd This Day, 9.20 a.m.) SHANGHAI, June 3. It is learned that Miss Iris Wilkinson is staying with United States missionaries at Suchow. Repeated inquiries from the Japanese evoked replies there were neither the time nor the means of communication to identify foreigners at Suchow individually. Better known as “Robin Hyde,” a per name under which she has won distinction as part novelist and journalist, Miss Iris Wilkinson, who is in the thirties, left New Zealand in January with the intention of proceeding via Shanghai, Kobe, Vladivostock, and the Trans-Siberian railway to Russia, and thence to England, but hei' itinerary has been interrupted by a lengthening of her stay in China, where she is engaged in journalistic work. It was reported last week in a cablegram from Shanghai that Japanese authorities were searching for Miss Wilkinson who had departed on donkeyback from Suchow to the north-eastern front, which was then overrun by Japanese troops retreating from Langfeng.
