The Royal Mail boat, the "through packet" on which Ruth Carefrew was coming, held due for Sabang late in the afternoon. Upon the morning of that day Huber Davis went to the wireless station and sent a message to Ruth, aboard the steamer, to prepare to leave ship at Saban and cancel passage.
Then Huber Davis returned to his own bungalow, and met Dr. Brossot as the latter was leaving.
