Canadian Mission, Luch ow,

Sucliwan, October 18, i940. Dear Everett, Emma and sin-

There has been a gap of several week since I have written any home otters and I think I should be for- given this time. Since we left the inouittalns on the twenty-first of September W8 have either been on the road, ~etting ready for the. road or trying t- get settled.

On Wednesday morning our care.- van left Penghslen. It might well be called a caravan judging by the number of men that we had. We had thirty-om carriers and four rickshaws, I rode my bike. We left Penghslen shortly after seven thirty A. M. and got to Chengtu shortly after six-thirty P. M. It would have taken me four hours on my bike if I had not waited for the richshaw. -Wlien we were about three miles from Penghslen Grace's rickshaw had s flat and bore is s. new way to patch a tire. They took out the tube and gathered it up e.- bout the hole just as you would the mouth of a. bee! to tie it and lied it the same way you would lie a. bag. It worked but I would not care to try it on a. car. The rickshaw tires are getting very bad. up hare and it is awfully difficult lo get new ones now. The zest of the trip was uneventful except that

Grace's rickshaw had another flat about six miles from Chengtii. The puller was then going to Lake off the tire and ride in on the rim but I had something to say about that so I paid him off there and then and called mother rickshaw to fin- ish the trip. We arrived at the Smalls just as they were starting their supper and we lost not time in joining them. Most of our loads wore in ahead of us as we came by l. longer road. That compleledl the first lap of our Journey to Luchow.

LIVING COSTS RISING

Our ticnc in Cliengtu was very lull and we did not have enough

time to accept all invitations. We had to do a lot of parking and buy- ing while there. Buying is a terribly expensive job now. Ono morning Grace and I ‘spent over tour liuiid- red dollars in less than two hours buying woollen yarns, etc. Fortun- ately it was Chinese money that we were ilsiiig. We would find it very; difficult to llvc here if we ditl not have such a favourable rx- chauge. 'l.c exchange for this quarter \\';'.s l5 1-2 to I in our favur so the S40!)

easily sighted from the air. The property damage was very slight that day as most of the bombs in- side the city fell in an o parade ground and most of-the as om- side the city fell in grain land. People thought that place was safe so many had fled to that corner for safety. m»; to some re-

the killed and injured were between four and five hundred. Over a hundred and eighty wound- ed were admitted at our hospital. That evening I was in to the corn- munity for supper and went over to the Church to see the wounded there. The Church was being vised to take care M the overflow from the hospital. What s sight to be- hold over o. hundred strewn over the floor, some of them slightly wounded and some fatally wounded. I shall not try to describe what I sew e.

Bombs sud Pamphlets Dropped

The next morning, Saturday, I was down at the boat loading some of our when the report came that yellow flags wen out. I hurried as much as I could

I book to flie campus we deoid to go to another place not far from Smith's where there is better protection. We went over there and soon the sirens shrieked out the grim warning that the planes were near at hand. We waited out in the yard until we saw the planes and then made for shelter 1n the cellar. I should say that we men folks waited until we saw the planes. This time they came in from the north-east in perfect formation. There ivere twenty-seven and they miloaded their bombs in the vicinity of the North Gate. Oii this occasion the property damage was much heavier than on the previous day but the casualties were very much smaller in number. Several fires weie started but they were quickly extin- guished. On both days they also (iropiwd pamphlets calling on the people to overthrow the Gen- eralisslniio and to assist Japan in establishing the New Order in East Asia. ‘They said that. if the Chin- (‘so did not get rid of the Gen- cralissinio and cooperate with Ja- pun that China would suffer the same fate as France.

The next evening we Kiating about

tunately the water was neltner high nor low in other words just right, so the danger was no‘. neu- ly es greet as st other levels. The level of the water in that river ver- ies very neatly. It has been known tobeovushundredfeetsbovl what is reckoned zero. In the worst rapids the old boat did some roll- inig but, unlike the old camel, it d not roll over. About 11.30 Set- urdsy morning

we pulled in to

Swifu, where our passenger, Mr. Jensen, lives. We went to Mr. Jensen's home for dinner. That evening we went back on board and dropped down river about. twenty miles and anchored for the night. To make a ltmg story short the nest evening Sunday, about 4.80 we out anchor, figuratively speak- kig because there was no anchor on the boat, just s few hundred flrom where we are now.

DIQGLATION EVERYWHERE

We are now in a city of desola- tion or at least ln the desolate sec- tion of the cit-y. This used to be the main business section of the city but a, year ago last month the Jtips made a "Friendly Call" and left over half the city a heap of ruins. Theye mowed a swath from the East to the West and then turned and mowed a. parallel swath from the West to the East. The bombs did a lot of damage, but ihe main damage was done by an un- controllable the that followed the bombing. Our medical house, hos- pital, girl's school, boy's school and W.M.S. dwelling were all burned but this house, the Church and the house a few yards from us were saved. Mr Hoffman did a very heroic job by savinn them as on nil sides except for the river every-
