I was walking to my office from
home along Chekiang Road north
Of Marking Road when I suddenly
heard a queer noise-which later
identified as the scream Of an ap
preaching shell.
People began running north
ward then I heard a Shattering
explosion.
Suddenly, as though I were in
a dream, I noticed that all the
people running past had black
faces-seared, Of course. by the
blast.
Horror mounted when saw one
man running toward me with one
arm missing.
The greatness Of the catastrophe
quickly became apparent as I saw
scores Of wounded being rushed
off to clinics, followed by the
mutilated dead. 7 saw only one
foreigner among the wounded
With his face blood-smeared, HI

taken to a hospital.

Of them perhaps alive, were buried
under the debris.
ARMS BLOWN OFF
The first thing I saw I shall
never forget. It was a beautiful
Chinese girl, her lovely face
drawn with extreme agony. Both
her arms were blown off.
Near her lay a wounded Sikh
British Indian) policeman who
had been on traffic duty at the
intersection.
I remembered, as I helped dig
out the wounded and load them
into ambulanceS or jinrickshaws,
how crowded the traffic must have
been in the streets a minute be-
fore-and how vast must have
been the toll when those shells
(they say they were from Chin
csc guns) fell into the midst Of
all those unknowing people.

we were held up at Marking Road,
perhaps the busiest intersection

The taxi's windows were blown
in, I was covered with splinters
Of glass, and the taxicab driver
was momentarily stunned.
AS soon as I recovered my wits,
I jumped out and rushed forward
into one of the most sickening
sights, guess, that anybody ever

The street and the wreckage

villains and wounding three Ameri-
cans, one of whom may die.
In a tragedy paralleling the holo-
caust Of August IA, when more
than 1000 civilians were killed by
aerial bombs in the international
zone, 200 shoppers in the History
Sincere Department Store, near
the Bund, were killed and scores
Of others wounded.
WRITER INJURED
The latter included Anthony J..
Dillingham;, correspondent for the
New York Times, who received
three shrapnel punctures in his
chest and a wound in his arm. His
colleague, Hallett Abend, veteran
Far Eastern representative Of the
Times, was slightly wounded.
The slaughter resulted from
attempts of Chinese artillerymen
to down a lone Japanese airplane
circling slowly over the Bund.
Dillingham; was rushed to hos
pital, where little hope was held
for his recovery.
The third American casualty
was Miss Blanche Tenney, a
shanghai-born United States citi-
zen, who suffered minor injuries.
SHELLS FALL IN STREETS
Other Chinese shells circling in
a high arc from the defense bat
teries in Pootung dropped in
crowded streets of the interna-
tional settlement, killing at least
$50 other persons.
These new mass killings in the
very center Of the settlement, for
decades an inviolable sanctuary
where thousands Of foreigners
live and billions in foreign capital
are invested, occurred without
warning as fighting ragged
throughout the Shanghai area.
The Sincere Department Store,
q five-million-dollar structure built
a few year ago and one Of the
tallest skyscraper in the Far
East, was damned with shoppers.
EXPLODES IN STORE
With a whistle and a screech,
followed by a deadening explosion,
one shell crashed through the
walls and exploded within the
building itself, reducing the in
terror to Shambles and crushing
most Of the victims beyond recog-
milton.
Another huge shell burst just
outside, while smaller missiles
sprayed the south corner Of the
stores old and new buildings and
the central facade.
The shell which wrecked the de-
partment store, as well as those
which killed persons in the streets,
came from Pootung. The Japanese
plane which was the target Of this
civilian massacre dropped a single
bomb which struck a United
States Marine granary, causing
small damage.
TROOPS LANDED
Near the American consulate,
only three blocks south, a shell
hit Hamilton House, at the
corner Of Kiangse and Foochow
Roads.
