She had been in the women’s ward to see a patient upon who she had operated that day when she had heard her name called from the door, and there was this cable. She thrust it into the pocket of her white surgical coat. There was no time to read even a cable –no time, either, to go to the hospital office and open the cash box and get a tip for the coolie. “You had better go into our shelter until this is over,” she said. “The Japanese come quickly these days.” The length of the long city lay between the hospital and the cable office on the river, and much, much more.
