Mr. Windham, the local agent of the Dollar Company, happened to be on board with his wife and daughter, who were visiting the wife of Captain Tornroth, who had just come from America, and was about to make a trip up the Gorges. When Mr. Windham heard the sounds of the fight, he tried to find some weapon, and picked up a rifle for use as a club. He also made for the syren and blew that vigorously, which alarmed the whole of the port. A boarding party came along post haste from the U. S. 8. Isabel, which was lying not far away, and the bluejackets soon got the upper hand of the riotous soldiery, and not long after they had them and their Fu Kwan in safe custody.
{ft was when quiet had been comparatively restored that Mr. Windham and Captain Tornroth returned to the upper deck to find that thb Jadies were ald bleeding profusely. It was found that one of the shots which had been fired had pierced the deck and coming right to the upper deck had become splintered against a piece of angle iron near where the ladies had been. The ladies were wounded by splinters of the bullet and of the angle iron, which fell on and around them like a shower of hail. Miss Windham was very badly wounded, a splinter entered her body near the collar bone, and has not yet been located, It. has not been found possible to locate and remove it on account of the great loss of blood which she has suffered. Mrs. Windham Was wounded on the breast, while Mrs. Tornroth had wounds on her neck, forehead and arms. The doctor from the Isabel was speedily in attendance and dressed the wounds of the ladies.' They are now doing well, but suffering from shock.
