Hongkong Sept 28.
The British steamer Soochow, belonging to Messrs. Butterf&el!&d Swire, reports by wireless that she picked up six Japanese aviators thirty miles off Amoy. Four of them were wounded. They were wearing life-belts and swimming, with the wreckage of a "plane nearby.
It appears that this was one of the machines which attacked Canton yesterday. Presumably it was damaged by anti-aircraft fire, forcing it to come down into the sea during its. return to Formosa.
Subsequently, the Soochow wire-lesed the British cruiser Suffolk that the aviators went on board a Japanese destroyer at Hau Bay at 3 o'clock this morning, and that the wrecked plane sank off Amoy at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Reuter.
