u. S. WOMEN TELL
OF ESCAPES IN CHINA
Many Fled to Safety on Ships
While Troops Fired on Them,
They Say on Reaching Home.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 7.-Stories
of how American woman teachers and
missionaries escaped from the hands
of battling Chinese were related here
on the arrival of $50 refugees aboard
the Dollar liner President Jackson.
Among the most interesting ac-
counts were those told by Mrs. Alex
ander Krisel of New York, Mrs. VIII
liam C. Rea of Shanghai, Miss Eva
Spicer of London, Miss Marian
Hedrick, Merced, Calf, and Miss Car
rie Altman. Richmond. Ky.
Mrs. krisel and her sons, Lionel and
Henry, escaped from the French con-
cession in Shanghai by driving their
automobile to the international con-
cession under fire of Chinese boats.
Mrs. Rea, arriving with her daugh-
ters, Barbara, 8 months old, and Jane,
) years old, declared she owes her life
to the fact that the Chinese shell that
landed 10 feet from her home in
Shanghai was "dud," failing to ex
plode.
Miss Spicer was a teacher at Gin
ling College. During the Marking
riots she hid with other women in
Barley Hall, while faithful Chinese
servants held off the invaders. During
the boat trip down the Yangtse River
the women witnessed fighting between
the Cantonese and Northern troops.
Miss Hedrick, who was an instructor
In Marking University, was reported
missing to her father, William G. He'd
rick, Merced rancher. This was dur
ing the period that she and Miss ALI
man were experiencing a thrilling es-
cape from the Nanking rioters by flee
ing to an American gunboat. During
their trip down the river their boat
was constantly under fire from the
shore and the boat returned the fire.
Miss Altman was an instructor of the
Chinese girls school at Marking.
