Description In the morning there were 5 or 6 white kimono-clad people sitting in the river nearly one meter below the surface at the spring tide high-water mark, with only the tops of their heads appearing above the surface of the water. Judging from their garments, they must have been patients from the army hospital who had escaped from town and then died or stopped cold there after drinking the water.
