Pulling corpses up and tying them with ropes
When I went out to the bank in front of Yokogawa Station, corpses were bobbing down the river. They had swallowed so much water that their stomachs were swollen like drums. Policemen and prisoners used fire hooks to pull them to shore, then tie them up so they wouldn't float off again.
