FLIGHT INTO THE Mo' US, Mr. and Mrs, Green and their two ehildren, a girl of 5 and a boy of 3 years old, with Miss Jessie Gregg had been labouring in the Mission field for the China Infand Mission at Huolu,—the Green family for upwards of 7 years, and Miss Gregg for 5 years or so, when the news of the massacre of the missionaries in nearly all the stations around them decided them to prepare to five for safety to the neighbouring mountains. They had reliable information of the looting and burning of Mission premises in all the stations from 70 to 120 miles around their own field of hour during the Ist week of July; and this, coupled with the fact that Yti Hsien, the governor of Shansi, a notorious Boxer tian and anti-foreigner, was passing through Huolu in a few days with Imperial troops and Boxers to proceed to Tientsin to help to wipe out the Foreign Devils there, determined them to put their project into execution without further delay.
Accordingly, on the Gth of July they left their home in Huoluy, taking with them an oil stove, some articles of food, two changes of clothing each, and some bedding, ete., and proceeded on foot at dusk to a temple about 2 milos away, near the foot of thy nearest mountains. They were, however, scon turned out of this temporary abode, for the people heard that the Boxers were searching for the missionaries and feared their vengeance if they discovered that the inhabitants had sheltered them in their temple.
