Wuchou

— After a two-day boat trip through the most beautiful scenery in all China, I finally reached Wuchou on the West River. As my boat approached the dock, the river was crowded with boats filled with soldiers and military equipment. It looked as if the entire National Protection Army was heading for Chaoch'ing via Wuchou. By this time the Fourth Division of the Yunnan Army had already reached Wuchou and had set up a reception station for new recruits near the piers.
