a young girl." u I could only turn round," he says, " and walk out sick at heart, leavingheralone with her ekeleton." A few steps further, he saw another woman "rocking herself to and fro, and uttoring moans heartrending beyond anything I could have imagined." "Her head was buried in her hands, while her fingei'S wera unconsciouely twisting and tearing her hair as she gazed into her lap, where lay three little skulls with the hair atill clinging to them." They next came to the schoolhouse and the church. In the school "lay the bones and ashes of two hundred women burnt alive within those four walls" " Just beside the schoolhouse is a broad shallow pit. Here were burned a hundred bodies two weeks after the mas sacre." They entered the churchyard. The whole of the little churchyard was heaped up with dead bodies to the depth of several feet. "We were told that there were three thousand people lying here in this little churchyard alone, and we could well believe it." And of those three thousand, many, if not most, were women and children." Next they looked into the church. "What we saw there was too frightful for more than a hasty glance." An immense number of bodies had been partly burnt there, and the charred and blackened remains, that seemed to fill it half- way up to the low dark arches and make them lower and darker still, were lying in a state of putrefaction too frightful to look upon. I had never im agined anyhhing so horrible. We all turned away sick and faint, and staggered out of the fearful pest house glad to get into the street again." Everywhere throughout the town they saw similar scenes. "Skeletons of men with the clothing and fleah still hanging to and mtten together ; skulls of women, with the hair dragging in the dust, bones of children and infants everywhere." Here they were shown a house where twenty people had been burned alive ; another where twelve girls had been slaughtered, "as their bones amply testi fied. " What showed most plainly the com pleteness of the massacre was the desola tion of entire families. An old woman told Mr MacGahan that she had three sons, who were all married, and had twelve children : of all those nineteen people, but this poor old woman remained.
