The car was still parked there at a late hour last night, with the left rear-wheel badly damaged whilst both tyres were punctured and badly run down as a result of the speedy drive from the scene where the incident occurred.
A British military truck with a mounted search-light was parked alongside the road just behind the military Post in readiness for any untoward incident, after rifle and machine-gun fire had been heard from Hungjao yesterday morning and last night between 8 and 9 p.m. Several residents of the Western district reported that a large number of machine-gun bursts, intermingled with rifle fire, were heard at a few minutes interval between 8 and 9.15 p-m., whilst artillery was also reported to have been heard shortly after 9 pin.
By 10 pin., when a "North-China Daily News" reporter drove along the perimeter, everything was quiet and there seemed no indication that anything unusual had occurred.
