Expecting Chinese Bandits

This night was a sleepless one for us as we were not going to be caught asleep but morning came and nothing happened. But, we got some nice news from our friend. He said that the Chinese bandits were camped about three miles away and they had just came the night before from Okovosk where they had burned the whole town down. This night we had some more to think of. We were the only American soldiers in thirty miles with a whole tribe of Chinese bandits only three miles away. This night we did not stay in the cars at all but we had a light burning in the cars so, if they did come, we would be able to tell where they were. As we did not want to be trapped in the cars we sat on the hillside all night long but nothing showed up. At nine o'clock in the morning the show bunch showed up and we were sure glad.
