Situation Is So Serious
Flier Takes Off
For Nanking
NANKING. Sept. 26. JPX
starving throng surrounded tha
plane of Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh when It landed on flood wa
ters near Illngbwa, northern
Klangsu province, this afternoon
and for a time It waa feared the
plane wonld be aerionsly damaged
and even Its occupants harmed.
Coming in eampans. tubs and
anything floatable, the throng
surged around th plane, enatrh-
Ing at packages it contained. The
hungry members of the group
wanted food, and they were bit
terly disappointed when tney
learned the plana bronght only
medical aupplirw.
In view of the situation. Col
onel Lladherg and Dr. Heng Liu.
director ot the national food re
lief commlsaion'a department ot
hygiene and sanitation, and Dr.
J. N. Grant. American faculty
member of th Peiping L'nlon
Medical college, who made the
flight, took off and returned to
Nanking.
Place ioag Flooded '
Hingwa has been flooded for
nearly a month, Ita residents be
ing forced to make their war
around in various watercraft.
Speaking of the Incident. CoU
onel Lindbergh aald tonight:
' "It waa the moat heartrending
experience of my career." .
Colonel Lindbergh said It was .
not the possible danger that wor
ried him and hla companions as
much as It was the bitter realisa
tion of their helplessness when
confronted by snch a welter ot
human misery so near starvation
and unable even to understand
the humanitarian purpose ot the
Tislt.
Hinghwa la 70 mile northeast
ot Nanking, and almost in the
center ot the lowest point of the
basin between tbe grand canal
and Yellow eea. Normally it i
a thriving market town. . It la
tha county seat of Hinghwa eonn
ty which prior to the flood bad a
population ot 600,000.
Mrs. Lindbergh missed the try
ing experience. She remained at
Nanking when th party took oft
earlier in the day. deciding Dr.
Leu and Dr. Grant would need the
space she might occupy.
Little Food There .
In the past month Hinghwa,
which ia nnder ten feet ot water,
has been practically isolated, with
the nearest dry land 25 miles
away. Rut little food has reach
ed the city and the supply la at
its lowest.
On leaving Lotus lake today
the plane was headed first for the
Kayoa banks ot the grand canal,
but Colonel Lindbergh decided to
stop there later, and continued to
Hinghwa.
As eoon as Colonel Lindbergh
brought his plane to rest on Hlng
hwa'a floodwatera there was a
desperate rush of sampans toward
it. the destitute occupants believ
ing food had at last arrived.
A majority of them had never
seen an airplane closely before,
and many thought It to be some
kind of miraculous intercession.
Women Cry Out
Amid the clamor rose the cries
ot women and children, and also
prayers which may hav been
thanksgivings.
Hundreds ot bands stretched
out for the packagea visible the
plane's tusllage.
