PORTLAND MAN I
HELD 52 DAYS BY
CHINA BANDITS
I’KKIN'G, June .'! (by maill. Al
though captive of Chinese Ijamlits for
fifty-two days. George A Kyle of Port
land. Ore., chief engineer of an Amer
ican construction company, returned,
lo Peking in good health and spirits
, "The bandits treated me as well as
might have been expected, lie said
; He was taken prisoner on March i!-<.
i His release was brought about
through efforts of the American legs'
tlon. represented on the spot by Hr.
Charles It. Tenney, assisted by l-\ C. |
Hitchcock, Mr. Kyle's immediate <
chief chief. Both of the last-named
were for weeks in Honan province,
working w ith the governor of the I
province and the military authorities'
in Kyle's behalf.
No little credit is due also to the
activity of the Catholic mission, rep
resentatives of which acted as inter-j
tnediaries between the authorities and
the bandits. It is said to have been
largely through assurances given by
priests of that mission that the bri
gands were brought to accept a guar
antee offered by General Chang Shenj
and to surrender their captive.
"The bandits evidently regarded me!
as their best asset If it came to mak
ing terms with the authorities," said
Mr Kyle to a representative of the j
Associated Pess "They shared]
everything with me even their beds !
The ravages of the vermin was the
most trying of my experiences and
next to that was the never ending
night marches across the country.
Always when we stopped at villages
they tiled to keep my presence secret,
and often they kept mo awake so that
I might not snore and give things]
away."
"Only a few of (he younger mem
bers of the bandits' gang got rough
now and then They used to draw
their fingers across their throats and]
presumably tell me in Chinese that;
that was what was coming to me,
thought, I of course, did not under
stand what was said."
“During the retreat of the bandits
one of them kept hold of my hand.
I had one chance the first night to
■ oscape and neglected it. While the
soldiers were still firing at us. the
bandits and I made a run for it.
There was a washout in a ravine. The
bandits all got there ahead of nte;
leaving me on the top of the ravine
The bullets were singing all around,
me, but if 1 had stayed behind then
I probably would have escaped 1
hesitated and they discovered my alt-,
sence and the opportunity was gone
The same night 1 did try to escape,
but they caught me before 1 could
' get away.”
