STRANDED CREW
INHUMANE TREATMENT BY SOVIET. TREATED LIKE CRIMINALS. SHANGHAI, July 9. Captain Johnson, master of the steamer Therese -Moller, on which a New Zealander, Mr P. Cairnes, is first officer, complains bitterly that, after their 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.
