"Most certainly it was not the foreigners who had intercourse with the women, but that person Yang Sion-shang. When the foreigners who lived at Hokiapn came over to us they said they were selling good books (shan shu).
T also bought. several copies to read, but they were not good books, only a lot of stuff exhorting people to ent the foreign doctrine. The foreigners remained largely indoors; they did not go much out, nor did they treat people medically, so thus the country people supposed that Yang Sion-shang was a foreigner, and thus, far and near, throughout all' the district, every person hated the foreignes The 18h of the fifth month was the day of a big feast when several tens of thousands of people came to see, and, when we heard that the foreigners had bound four men in their house and beaten them, the whole of the country people, and the people of Sungpu rushed over to Hokiapu to bent the foreigners. From early in the morning to the middle of the day, the crowd kept getting larger and more excited, Suddenly the house took fire, We do not know who set fire to it. After the foreigners had gone on the roof, a man with the marks of old sores on his neck (Chu Tsue fuh) mounted the roof and beat them. Ken-pa and Li Kin-ken also went on the roof, and besides these there was another tall strong man, we do not know who he was, went up and beat the foreigners. There were four men in all who went on the roof, and when the foreigners were eaten to death we went home. It was on account of hearing of the dissolute character of Yang Sion-shang that everybody hated the foreigners, and wanted to beat them. All we have said is perfectly true.""
