In one instance this band sacked the flourishing village of Woo-|and. coung in South China and lld-lmw I’m‘! naped more than 100 persons, hold- ing them for ransom. Ordina: a band of captives of #his size loses one or two of its mem en route to the outlaws' lalr, the escaped persons giving clues to the route and probable whereabouts oi the marauders. But police and military authori- ties reported that no trace could be found of the Woochung raiders and inquiry disclosed the reason. Survivors of the affair recountéd that each woman bandit appeared with a sling on her back and after making good use of her elub, pistol and other weapons, departed with & trussed-up prisoner in the sling, the captives being carried in much the same manner that babies are packed about by Chinese mothers. None of the prisoners taken in this raid returned to give a clue as to the direction in which the bandits had fled. But word was sent back to the village that the price for release of all the cap- tives was $30,000 gold. Relatives of the victims, although knowing that failure to pay meant the almost certain execution of the prisoners, could only say that this was more money than the entire village could scrape together in a year. The force that turned the wom- en of this particular band to brigandage was the same that has prompted many other lawabiding and peace loving Chinese to take ine, collapse of the country’s cur- rency and other economi¢ factors have driven thousands of mien and women to seek a living where they could .find it and from whoever | happened to have anything worth taking.
