BODY OF JAPANESE IS FOUND IN HARBOR
The body of an unindentified [sic] Japanese was found in Honolulu harbor near Pier 9 early this morning by members of the crew of the schooner Bianca.
The body was between the schooner and the pier when found and police believe the man fell from the dock while looking at the ship.
It was at first believed that the man had met with foul play because of a deep gash on the side of his head, but the latest theory is that he sustained the wound when his head struck the side of the dock as he fell into the water.
