Soldier Knocked Down

There was a general and confused argument, following which Mr. Plerard went off to recover his pony which had strayed away. While getting his pony, 'Mr. Plerard met Soldiers of the Peace Preservation Corps and more trouble ensued. One of the soldiers, Mr. Marcuse Toaded his rifle' and' aimed it at Mr Plerard, who "saw red" and swung hard at the soldier knocking him sprawling.

With Mr. Pierard in their midst, the soldiers marched to the crossing fo pick up Mr, Marcuse and take them both to the Lunghwa station. The two foreigners wanted to go 10 the Jessfeld station. The lady of the arly had managed to ride away to the Riding School.

The argument of which station should be approached was settled with 2 compromise, Mr, Marouse going to Lunghwa while Mr. Pierard was escorted toward Jessfield. Before the Jessfield-bound party had gone very far, a car came along and cartied them to Lunghwa instead.
