Eye-Witness Tells Story
Enquiries from refugees' aboard the Empress of Axis which arrived here yesterday at 2.30 p.m. elicited the information that—with thou- sands of Chinese in a mad scram- ble for life, eager to break through and get on one of the destroyers which they (Chinese) understood would take them to a place of safety-their embarkation was une of the most tragic aspects.
Getting their names registered at Hamilton House at 8.30 am, on Thursday was a terrifying experi- ence, as, besides bearing in mind the continuous threat of air raid bombs which might drop on them at any moment, they had to push through panic-stricken masses of Chinese who flocked to the Settle- ment in thousands in the hope that they might be able to get on 2] British vessel for Hong Kong.
