Hongkong, Jan. 26.
Three Britons over whose safety some concern had been felt in Hankow arrived in Canton this morning.
They were Mr. J. A. E. Kendrew, of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Company, who has been in Hankow during the past three years as agent of the firm's insurance department; Mr. F. H. Berger, accountant of Messrs. Harrisons, King & Irwin, Limited, and Mr. Bauld, engineer with the Indo-China S.N. Ca.
A telephone call from here to Hankow yesterday enquired regarding the whereabouts of Mr. Kendrew, but the Hankow office of Jardine's was unable to give any information. In view of the intensive bombing of the Canton-Hankow Railway during the week-end, it was believed that the party may have been held up at some point en route.
