BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP
Aviator's Midnight Dash For Safety
Covered with blood, badly wounded in the right thigh, bleeding profusely, his uniform ragged and torn. Lieutenant Foo Yen-kl. Chinese aviator, limped into Chinese Military Headquarters at Shanghai with an amazing tale of escaping death at the hands of the Japanese.
Flying a Curtiss-Hawk pursuit plane, Lieutenant Foo, after shooting down a Japanese plane, had the misfortune to have his craft struck by an anti-aircraft shell. Stunned by the shock, the aviator was unable to release himself and crashed with the machine, which fortunately fell on an empty plot of land owned by the Shanghai Municipal Council.
Japanese armed forces were less than three blocks distant, but before they could reach the scene, the officer had sufficiently re- covered to crawi 'from the wreckage, and take refuge in a semi- demolished cotton mill.
Foo, who studied medicine for two years at Stanford Univer- sity, California, dressed his own injuries and after a few hours of rest set about getting back to the Chinese lines. The task proved more difficult than he anticipated. That night, the brave filer man- aged to travel as far as.. a foreign owned concern and found 'there three sympathisers, one American and two Canadians, who gave him food, water and a good map of the district,
The remainder of the trip is more or less of a nightmare to the officer. He recalls reaching Kungping Road and of being be- friended there by a Russian watchman, who hid him in the nick of time. He remembers being betrayed by a barking dog land of barely escaping death at the hands of the suspicious Japanese,
Eventually Foo reached the Hanbury Institute, opposite the "Astor House Hotel, which is just within Hongkew.
.r
Two Chinese bombing planes flew over the district. and while the Japanese were exeltedly firing at them, Foo gained a side street leading to Szechuen Road, dashed across Szechuen Road and reach- ed the Embankment House. Just how he managed to evade both foreign and Japanese military from that point, Foo smilingly re- fused to state.
Believed to have been killed when his plane crashed, his brother fliers were astounded and overjoyed when he reported for duty again.
Among those present at the tea were: Dr. C. Y. Wu, Sir Henry and, Lady Pollock, Miss 2. D. M. Carter, Prof. Hau Ti-shan, Mr. and Mrs. L. Dunbar, Mrs. D. M. Big- gar, Dr. F. I. Tseung, Mrs. G. 8. Castello, Mrs. S. Deacon. Mrs. A.

BACK FROM THE FRONT
The tragic state of affairs in most of the Shanghal emergency hospitals. In which medical sup- pies, accommodation and in some cases every food, were insufficient. was stressed by Dr. Li Sung, whe returned from Shanghai yesterday by the s.s. Conte Verde. Dr, Li was one of the members of the Arst group of local doctors to volunteer for service in the North.

Practically no material damage, was done by the Japanese bombers on their second raid, but they did succeed in rendering homeless and destitute several hundreds of peaceful civilians, the majority of whom were born in the village and have lived there all their lives.

Rushing, with other Bremen, to a conflagration on Kungping Road, which is in the Wayside District of the International Settlement. Lin Mel-tu, of the Hongkew Fire Station, was assigned to the task of searching for bodies believed to have been buried when a dwelling collapsed.
Lin found one body, that of a small boy. There was something strangely familiar about, the badly burned face of the youth. Lin took a second look-and collapsed. The body was that of his own son. The youngster, while visiting his grandparents on August 15, was caught within the Japanese 'lines and was unable to get out. It is believed that he took refuge with abandoned other Chinese in an horse.
