LESSONS STOPPED TO WATCH BATTLE
SCHOOL IN CHINA School at Kiukiang in China is much more exciting than in Auckland. Little Miss Allison Rowley, who is not yet ten, can vouch for that. On arriving from Hongkong by the Arafura she told a “Sydney Sun” reporter how she had watched the clash between two big armies, which fought on the plains below her school. From the hills above the town, where the school is situated, the SO pupils could see all that was going on, said Allison, but nonobdy was frightened. It was nice to watch it. Afterwards the town was looted, and she saw that from her post in the hills, too. A party of Reds, “fierce-looking ones,” came and investigated the school, but went away again. Then came the journey by boat down the river to Shanghai. For days the boats had been fired on, but Allison Rowley was lucky again, for her got through unscathed.
Allison said that she enjoyed her experience, but she was glad to join her father and mother at Hongkong.
