Refugees Reach Shanghai Amid Hankow Evacuation Turmoil
American refugees arriving in Shanghai report a U.S. airman’s assault during the foreign evacuation of Hankow on January 3 and 4, with injuries. The incident occurred while Chinese rioters disrupted the port. Four or five days earlier shots were fired at people on the dock, one narrowly missing Admiral Hough’s wife. The American Women's Club aided refugees, many leaving Hankow penniless. Soldiers could not stop the mob, and naval personnel continued evacuations.
