An earlier "Reuter" report issued last night from Shanghai stated that Japanese authorities, escorted by a British official, brought Mr. Tinkler across the river at 11 p.m. and rushed him to a waiting ambulance in which he was taken to the General Hospital in the Japanese- occupied Hongkew district in the International Settle. ment.
Two German and two Japanese naval surgeons, helped by two French Franciscan sisters, began an emergency operation, which was still in progress after midnight.
SENTRIES GUARD BODY
Three armed Japanese sentries were posted outside the door of the operating theatre.'
Tinkler was not shot, but was suffering- from a rifle. butt wound to his head, three stabs in the abdomen, and an injury to his foot.
