nder in the same house. There were some
priests and friends in the same house,
friends there were 50 or 60 persons altogether in
the house. I lived here. Here was
a ceremony (for leaving off mourning) being held. The ceremony lasted the whole
night. At day break on 22 November
1880 I was outside the great door
burning joss paper. I saw Yung Fai, Jerne Min, Yeme Song and #32
Yeing Cheung and this wing came
to our home. There were a great many
of them, perhaps 50 or 60 men.
Those I have named were
the ringleaders.
They were armed with
guns and swords. Yying Bing Zai
had a long gun, and Young Fong had a pistol. Our party had no weapons. When we saw them coming we ran into
The house and shut the door. I did
not see if any of the attacking party had weapons. After about an hour they began to
knock at the front door. During that
hour we were sitting down in the
hall doing nothing. They tried to
break down the front door and as they
went to the back door and broke it. Then I saw Yeing Fong come into the house. I, he, and several others
ran upstairs.
A woman and 3 children were killed. The woman was called Chau Lan
