Vionu necessitating the demoli tion of the mat sheds erected to shelter the thousands who have arrived mere in search of food. Captain Keyton reports that 300,000 destitute persons have been driven back toward their homes and that terrible scenes are being enacted along ths line of retreat. He estimates that 250,000 persons are likely to be doomed at Sing Kiang alone, and 400,000 at Antung, where amall relief works have been started. The distress is largely due to lack or means of communication snd the fear that the Chinese officials might appro priste any work they undertake. The dykes being dolapidated, renewed rains are certain to cause fresh floods. Every house in the neighborhood of Antung visited by Captain Keyton contained dead bodies or dying persons.
