The crowd became ugly and violent; and before one had scarcely time to realise what was happening they attacked the hospital, After a while someone set fire to the build- ing and the place was quickly in flames.

One of the crowd managed to get hold of the skeleton used for instruction in the niedical class at the hospital, and with it, headed a procession through the streets "as evidence of what the foreigners did to the Chinese."

The people thereupon became frantic and rushed to the hospitals, girls'' school and foreign residences and burned them to the ground. The missionaries, consisting of Dr. Machle and wife, and daughter aged ten years, Rev. and Mrs. Peale, Miss Ches nut, A., and Miss Paterson took refuge in a small cave near by. The mob soon found them and all were killed except Dr, Machle and Miss Paterson, who escaped to the yamên. Dr. Machle is reported badly wounded.
