Victoria, July 14.-Hong Kong papers
arrived by the steamer Victoria, chron-
icle serious attack upon two ladies
of the American Presbyterian mission
al Canton on June II, as the result of
which it is stated one of the ladies may
die.
Miss .Bemler and Miss Halverstone
are the names of the unfortunate mis-
sionaries of mercy, whose mishap was
solely due to their mistaken ministra-
tons. They were walking in Honam
in the afternoon and came across a
Chinaman evidently in a dying condi-
ton by the side of the road
With tender care, they raised him
and procured a cup of tea, while one
Of the ladies applied her smelling salts
to the mans nostlils and conVersed
with him. They so far revived the man
as to enable him to walk few yards
with support, but while conveying him
on sapan, with the intention of plac-
ing him in a hospital, some Chinese
who had gathered around asked if any
thing had been administered to him
by the foreign woman" When they
learned that something had been done
for the unfortunate man, they speedily
made demonstrations of resentment
and, unhappily, at this moment the OBJ
ject of the ladies' attention expired.
Instantly, they were embroiled in
wordy alteration with the surrounding
mob and in moment or two the in
dignation of the crowd vented itself
with brutal violence. Miss Bemler es-
capped, naked and bleeding, after re-
ceiving a stab in the thigh, to a friend
ly Chinamans shop, but it looked a
desperate case for Miss Halverstone,
who, torn and wounded, was endeavor-
ing to reach the customs station close
at hand.
Fortunately. Mr.. J. H Barton, one
of the officers at the station, observed
her predicament, and, hurrying to the
scene, was able to secure her, he, too,
being wounded. Shortly afterward, G.
A. Forsythe and Luke Loft arrived
with party of customs officers and
rescued Miss Begler, who was in the
Chinamans shop in momentary danger
of being attacked by the enraged ma
tives outside.
The mob followed, bowling and boot
ing, until the Mission house was
reached Miss Bemler's wound has since
given her trouble, while her companion
has completely collapsed under the
mental strain and lies at the point of
death. 49,
The affair has caused much excite
ment, and at Shamen approximations of
further trouble are entertained, so much
so that the British gunboat Rather has
be ready should emergency require it,
