Two Released to Arrange Ransom for Others: a Beleaguered City Welcome news was received in Shangahi on Sunday about two of the five missionaries who were captured by bandits at Taiwan while travelling from Wuchow to Pinglo on board the American hospital ship Roanoke.
We are informed by the China Inland Mission that they have received a telegram from Wuchow requesting them to inform the children at the Chefoo Mission Schools that Mr, R. A. Jaffray and Dr. Miller have returned home safe and well. Mr. Jaffray is one of the two British, and Dr. Miller of the three American, missionaries who were taken into captivity in the hills. No mention is made of the other three members of the: party, Messrs. E. H. Came (British) and Rex and Ray (Aieriean), and it may perhaps be assumed that they also have been freed, but have no-children at the Chefoo: schools who should be informed.
