For some time disquieting rumours had been in circulation foreshadowing an attack upon foreigners.
The usual reports of children having been kidnapped were passing from mouth to mouth, and placards were posted... on the walls denouncing the mission- aries and all their ways.

At last, on the 21st of June, the storm burst, and the mob marched to their work of destruction. The mission estab- lishments in the city were the first objects of attack.
