She said that Hangchow was approximately 56 miles by rail from Shanghai and possessed, among other things, a veiy fine bridge and an aerodrome. These, Judging by the air-raid bombing operations, were of particular interest to the Japanese. The air-raid warning siren, Miss Bargrove said, was the most horrible blood-curdling of sounds. At the time of writing, the C.M.S. Hospital, which is one of the largest, if not the largest, hospitals in China, was f ull to overflowing with wounded soldiers from the Shanghai front.
