Railway Truck Camp

It is hoped to clear these internees from the hat so all the building can be used as a hospital. Two railway truchs have been provided to house police who will guard the prisoners until they join their comrades on the Li llong. All the catering for the Li llong's prisoners has to be done ashore as the ship has been laid up) so long that the kitchen and domestic arrangements are out of order.

The railway trucks at Fanling are occupied by 1,942 refugees, who are under the care of Father Ryan and

Fathers Francis Donnelly, John

Donovan, Joseph Reardan and James Fitzgerald, of the Maryknoll Mission. These Fathers live temporarily at une Hunters' Arms in order to give their full time to the refugees' welfare, but others come dully and yesterday dis- tributed food and clothes and even I played football with
