"The fighting between the Northern and Southern troops shifted to the region of Hsinpu at 9 o'clock on the morning of the 9th. The troops which were pursuing General Sun's forces to- wards Haichow were flying the flag with a white sun in a blue fleld. They were an advance contingent (some 1,000 in num- ber) of the 1st Division of the 44th Southern Army and were General under the guidance of Bei Bao-san. No sooner had the report that the Southern troops were advancing on Haichow been circulated in the town, than Gen- cral Sun's routed soldiers com- menced looting. The town was also looted by the Southern troops who invaded the town afterwards. The town was despoiled of al- most everything. We could not but shudder at seeing the out- rages committed by soldiers. fortunately we had already re- moved our women and children to a place of safety, men assem- bled at a landing place with much difficulty and with only the clothes they wore. Thus we have been able to flee here, leaving our houses, which were devastat ed by the looters."
