Steamer goes missing en route to Calcutta

It is feared that the steamer Kaiho Maru, which left Kobe on Nov. 3 for Calcutta with a cargo of 3,500 tons consisting mainly of matches and cotton goods, has met with disaster, as while she was expected to reach Calcutta on Nov. 29, no news has been heard of her.
