Mrs. Zaitzoff told many interesting and illuminating incidents: two will suffico, She sought permission one day from the Japanese authorities to have her baby shown to its imprisoned father.. The request was summarily and brutally re- jected and lirs. Zaitzoff returned to her rickshaw outside Japanese Headquarters in a distressed condition. Several times on the way to the ferry the Rickshaw coolic ventured a backward glance at her tears: having deposited her at the pier and made certain that no one. was observing him, ho gruffly refused to accept her fare for which previously ho had driven a hard bargain.

The other incident. concerns a Chinese who won the largest cash swoop of the day at one of the recent race meetings: the total was in the neighbourhood of 75000 yon. On going to collect his money he was first "invited" to donato 75% of it to Japanese military charitics and then severely warned to be careful how he spent the balance no jewellery or canned goods or luxuries, And thon, just to make sure, his house was unceremoniously ontored and searched several times on the following weeks to make sure that he had not bought and concealed anything in disregard of Japanese orders.
"People" irs. Zaitzoff repeated "want Hong Kong back just as it was before".
