CAPTIVITY IN RED HANDS
Experiences Of Mr. and Mrs. Frencham
Shanghai, April 10.
"In reference to our capture, detainment, treatment, and release by the Reds, God alone knows the. whole story, especially our release. which was both sudden and unex- pected."
G.
With these words Mr. S. Frencham, who, with Mrs. Fren- cham, was captured by Communists ar Ningklang in southwest Shensi early in February and given up for dead, prefaces a tirlef description of their experiences in Communist hands, contained in a letter from Hanchung which was received here yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Frencham are still in Hanchung, where they the awaiting the arrival of Mr. A. Moore, CLM superintendant for the province, and a trained nurse from Shanghai
March. Through the Snow The Frenchams were held for three days in Ningklang and then' forced to march with the Reds over the hilly border country to Li Chia Pa in Ezechuen. Mrs. Frencham. owing to the condition" of Her health found the three days Journey in the snow exceedingly difcuit, but Mr. Frencham was allowed to help her when the Reds. saw that she could not manage the hardest parts alone.
At the inn at L Chia Pa the couple were treated better than their Chinese fellow captives. The food was very poor indeed and the accommodation bad, but during their stay these were gradually improved, according to Mr. Fren- cham's letter. Mr. Frencham was asked to write for medicines, and the long silence that was taken as confirmation of the vivid stories of their murder told by refugees, is partly accounted for by the fact that the Reds decided, after the letters had been written, not to send them.
