In my former letter I mentioned about innocent villagers preparing tea, etc., for the Japanese who in return killed about fifty of them. Here are one ar two more details of that massacre. It took place in two neighbouring villages called Haihongtun (9 GABP) and Sieliv-pan (YA FB.) These two villages are situated on the main road between Towlak and Lim-ki-paw (Hun-lim). The Japanese had been driven out of Lim-ki-paw. They purpored retaking it. They sent word to the inhabitants of these two villages ordering them to prepare tea and food for the soldiers against a certain day in the middle of June. The tea, etc., was prepared, the soldiers came" and partook of it.' Men, women, and children jussied themselves in making the Japanese comfortable, when all of " sudden the soldiers surrounded the men, tied their quawes five in a knot and thus tored them. At that time eighty to ninety men were butchered besides some few helpless women and children who failed to make their escape.
