MRS STARR: No, no, no. I didn't get it on the machine. No, that's right.

MINNIE: Ah-hah.

MR STARR: Don't you want to rest for a little while?

MINNIE: No, I just as well-- You know now about this--this picture, this Fu Manchu. Of course, I've heard a young man tell me from China, say Fu-- that's not a 
unordinary name in China. He say it's just as common as our name Jim and John is here. But this-- I don't know. I asked her the other day had she ever heard tell of a picture during the year '44 it was put out, The Bells of the Fu Manchu. Have you ever heard tell of anything of that?

MR STARR: Never heard of that.

MINNIE: Well, I know it was something of its kind. Now when I--when--before--

MRS. STARR: Tell us about when you started to go home from Wilmington.

MINNIE: Yes. I was in Washington and a friend, Norris, that tall boy (unintelligible)...around there. He was born in March, but he was sick and his mother had carried him to the doctor. And-- So I didn't know she was in Wilmington, but I got up with her and I come on onto the bus with her and she [[strikethrough]] sat [[/strikethrough]] got on there with the baby. So as I went to get on, something pushed me back off. I had to jump to keep from falling. And I'd look around to see what it was. I couldn't get back on there. I said, "Martha Louise, you go ahead. I forgot, there's something I got to do, and I'll catch the next bus." She said, "Well, all right, Miss Vanessa, I'll be right on." There wasn't anything I had to do, wasn't anything.
