Yesterday a Chinese soldier staggered into the American Presbyterian Missión Hospital and told how missionaries at Tenghsien, a Tientsin-Pukow railway city under Japanese occupation, had saved his life. He claimed he had been roped together with eighteen Chinese soldiers and all of them had been bayoneted. By some accident, the bayonet passed through his upper chest and his back without touching a vital part. He was left to die on the ground but later crawled to the Catholic hospital where he was treated. Finally, he escaped to Hsuchow and is now undergoing treatment.
