Assis’ - ance was quickly procured from Wang jehu and fuakir.o. The injured peop'e were conveyed home to the latter place. Young Miss Moran, 15 years of age, had evidently received serious injuries. Though conscious she was suffering severe pain, and was carried on a roughly improvised stretcherjsome three miles, when she succumbed to her injuries at midnight, before medical assistance from Marton arrived, though ! the same would have been of no avail.
