● Stories of the Drifting (*Part 1)
  It was briefly reported in this newspaper the other day how an adventurer named Yakita IZAWA from Ōaza Sumiyoshi in Amitsu village, Shimo-Mashiki County of this Prefecture encountered a storm at sea while attempting to cross from the Yaeyama Islands to the uninhabited island of Koba Island (*Uotsuri Island) next to Taiwan, and after surviving several life-or-death situations, at last washed ashore at Fujian in China, where luckily his life was saved. Now this fortunate adventurer has recently returned from China to his hometown via Nagasaki, then, arriving in Kumamoto the day before yesterday.
