The two other Chinese men went down with the ship and were drowned! When the Chinese survivors got to the US – they were ‘arrested’ (due to the ‘Chinese Exclusion Act’ and the fact the Ku Klux Klan was receiving tremendous local and national support for all six Chinese survivors to be publicly ‘lynched’ for their alleged crimes) and were put into the Concentration Camp kept for Chinese people on Ellis Island – the lesser of two evils, surely! Representatives of the (UK owned) Donald Steamship Company managed to ‘retrieve their property’ around April 19th, 1912 and spirited them away! Ironically, the US government ‘relaxed’ ALL Immigration red tape for arriving non-Americans out of sympathy for their plight – providing they were ‘White’!
