On December twenty-eighth, when I was conducting the Chinese women's prayer-meeting, I noticed in the audience Mrs. Lu, the very woman to whom I had forgotten to send word.

Wayne would not send because only a hundred tracks had been seen, and by the time he had run over double that number the two scouts with them refused to go back.
