they came battering with great force up
on the gate which still shut in the two mis-
sionary families. and the teachers and
girls of the girls school. who had fed TO
them. They believed that their last hour
had come. and commended their souls 10
the Lord. when just then came up band

Palma denied that there had been any talk
OF MS resignlng the leadership OF the reso-
