I am informed that the German missionary who was attacked in Chor Youfoo. arrived there in a bont from Kiaying, a route. for here. It appears that a Chinaman was angling in the
river of Chowchowfu, and he neeused the boat in which the missionary was of having
spoilt his catch, and consequently trouble ensued, during which the taissionary was stoned by the Chinese and had his head cut... Ôn arrival here the missionary reported the matter to the Consulted to the Taotni.
