The tragedy described here is before the 228 massacre (which took place in February of 1947).
Articles written in Takao (高雄) as it is supposed to be read… none of that Kao-hsiung/Gaoxiong crap.
Fascinating stuff, about an utterly unfascinating period time for residents of Taiwan. These dispatches are like reading the work of George Kerr avant la lettre!

I thought Coyett mainly complained about Verburg being a coward…
and that he couldn’t get cheese anywhere.
