A passenger on the s.s, "Kutwo" of Messrs. Jardinc, Matheson & Co.'s fleet has furnished the "C. C. Post with the following-account of incidents which occurred during the journey from Shanghal. It in- dicates the lawlessness of the Southern soldiers in a striking way,

The Captain took no time to dress but dashed to the bridge in his bare feet. The steamer put on full speed, expecting every minute to get out of the danger zone. But the troops were bent on murder and the for seven miles the firing was taken aheup by aquad after squad.

Shots At The Bridge. During the night before "Kutwo" reached Chinkiang had been compelled to anchor for a time. It seems that martial law had been proclaimed at one point on the river, but instead of sending out a notice or letting a launch con- vey the order, the Southern military simply fired at the bridge of the steamer. The Captain had just stepped back under a sudden im: pulse when one of the shots crossed the bridge from end to end.

Then came the con- cert, which, although chiefly coming from the south bank, had also an accompaniment from the north shore. The shooting was deadly, and the passengers lying for safety on the decks were nearly deafened by the bang of bullets on the iron.
