the moon (32) Aug:) and on the 5th of the 7th having ascertained, that Amaral must pass the Barrier as he went out for his ride, the whole party waited thereabouts until the evening, at which time Amaral rode up. Shin chi liang had an umbrella under his arm, in the handle of which he had concealed a pointed knife, (or sword); and with a mock petition (in his hand) he cried out that he wanted his wrong to be set right.
Amaral stretched out his hand to receive the petition, upon which Shin chi liang drew his weapon and wounded him in the arm; he rolled off his horse, and Shum chi liang then cut off his head, with which and his arrows he, the prisoner, and the rest of the party fled through the Barrier, and after sacrificing to their ancestors and announcing to themselves (what had been done), they made their escape in different directions. Hearing subsequently of the strict search that was for them, the prisoner and Si á páu agreed to take a boat, intending to abscond to Húnan province.
The Police, moreover, led by an informer, had overtaken them in Lehcháng. Li á páu had fired a few pistol shots to defend himself against his captors, and was fired upon and hit by them; he jumped into the water and was drowned. They then seized the prisoner, who was defending himself against the runners with a sword, was in consequence wounded, taken, and brought to Court. What the prisoner has stated is the truth.
