was feared the craft would be Sc

cupants harmed.
Coming in sampans. tubs and any
thing floatable. the throng surged
around the plane, snatcnlng al

Hinghwa has been flooded for
nearly q month, its residents being
forced to make way around In va

AS soon as Col. Lindbergh brought
his plane to rest on Hinghwa's
floodwaters. there was a desperate
rush OF sampans toward 1t, the des-
titute throng believing food had at
last arrived.
A majority Of them had never
seen an airplane closely before and
many thought 1t to be some kind
of miraculous intercession.
Amid the clamor rose the cries Of
women and children and also pray
ers whic hmay have been thanks
giving.
Hundreds Of hands stretched oft

Or. Liu, the only member Of the
party who could speak Chinese,

his voice was lost In the din. Jump

tried to retrieve many Of the pack

plain that they contained medi-

Many of the packages were torn
