BANDITS’ DEMANDS
PRISONERS IN MANCHURIA. APPEAL TO FRIENDS. Shanghai, Oct. 12. Mrs Pawley, writing to her father on October 8, says that the bandits absolutely refuse to reduce the ransom from 1,000,000 dollars.
“It is pretty well hell here,’’ says Mrs Pawley. “We received'the parcels and everything O.K. 1 Bless you all for the lice powder. The lice are pretty bad, but have not reached my chin yet. The next time the messengers come they must bring 30,008 dollars and 200 ounces of opium, else goodbye to our ears. The bandit chief is fed up with us. Trusting you implicitly. Please help us. Keeping our tails up.’’
Mr Corkrau aids a postscript: “Bung ho.”
