Former teacher shot by Chinese burglars in missionary compound
Misa Wright, daughter of the late John Winthrop Wright, a New York Presbyterian Church missionary and Nanhsuchow school principal in Antwer Province, was shot twice during a burglary at the missionary compound on the night of November 2.

Wright's brother says a December 2 letter reports she is recovering and that mission officials expect no further danger for Nanhsuchow.
