Three young goats were rescued by members of the Police Reserve Unit at about 5 o'clock yesterdi afternoon when a fire, probably of incendiary origin, destroyed a Chinese country house in Chamulpo Road, near Wayside Road. The policemen, however, were forced to shoot a goat-kid trapped in one of the burning buildings. They heard the agonized bleats of the young animal, attempted to break into the enclosure where it was confined, but were pre-ented by a sheet of flame. Through he fire foreign policeman dispatched the suffering kid, while, not far away, near the Chapei boundary ets rang out and two bombing nised overhead.
