Boston, Nov. 30.—The 'British steam
ship Ka'binga, captured by the' German
cruiser Emden, and saved from being
sunk toy t'he presence aboard of the.
Captain's wife and son, arrived last
ni'gh't from Calcutta, several days over
due as a result of storms.
Newspaper reporters 011 a chartered
tug went down to the Kaibinga, which
anchored in the lower harbor, to leant
from Mrs. Gertrude Robinson, the va'j
tain's wife, details concerning the gal
lantry of Captain von Mueller, of tlio
Emden, in turning the ship over to her.
The British censor apparently scored
a 'beat over the reporters, for when the
pilot boarded the steamship he carried
an official looking envelope. When the
newspaper tug came alongside inter
views were refused.
