"The story, appearing under a Hong Kong dateline," Andrews wrote, "was written in Pittsburgh. The Hong Kong correspondent, G. Schlotterbeck, had never seen Kong, except in his mind's eye. "The bulletins liom across the Pacific indicated that a battle had been fought, even that Dewey had won, but otherwise they had been eloquently silent. All day Sunday and late Sunday night, Joe Myers sat in his office waiting for the complete story.

Writer Relates Story "What happened next is best related by Schlotterback himself, as follows: 1:30 Monday Joe Myers called me into his office and said abruptly: "I appoint you our special correspondent at Hong Kong." went to my task with high enthusiasm and within an hour had the story complete. 'Demand for the Post was so tremendous on Monday morning that the presses were kept running until noon. The old Pittsburgh Dispatch was flabbergasted, and for months showed its grief at being scooped out of its boots. 'On Tuesday forenoon a letter from Uniontown arrived, reading as follows: "Your correspondent was so accurate in his details that he must have been on both flagships at the same time."
