From_8 p.m. on Saturday till dawn, there were bouts of rifle-firing. For the most part, they were the mere expression of joy and victory by individual _soldiers. At the New Han Gate, however. there were two fatalities. Some accounts say that one of the two was a retreating Chao soldier who was intentionally shot, while the other was an accident to a civilian who happened to be in the line of fire. I have not heard of any executions or of any other casualties.
Most shops shut early on Saturday evening, and some of them kept their shutters up on Sunday morning. But by 9 a.m. small squads of soldiers were parading the streets giving orders that all shops must be. opened and business must go on as usual.
None of the religious services at the mission chapels were interrupted. Indeed, the English service for the foreign community, which is held at the Yalu Chapel every Sunday at 5 p.m., was recommenced after the summer interval of July and August.
