swift justice Of the Chinese, he and
the other six were promptly convicted
and led out to be executed. The
heads Of the six were quickly chopped
off, but by mischance when the knife
descended upon Wong's neck 1t did
not sever the head but merely inflicted
gaping wound. This was taken as
n sign that some special spirit was
acting as WOng's guardian and neither
the executioner nor any other dared
again swing the knife.
Wong was taken to the yamen OF
