Two days later, on the train going to Lviv, I met a young woman who told me the story of an attack on another forester's lodge in Dalnicz (Kamionka Strumiłowa district). This woman lived in Lviv and came with „goods to traded”, to her sister, the wife of a gamekeeper. When the bandits attacked the lodge, she hid under her sick sister's bed. The bandits killed her sister and her husband and set fire to the hut. She was hidden under the bed all the time. Her sister's blood was dripping on her, and she was stuck with feathers from ripped cushions. When the fire was reaching the room, she jumped out of the window. The bandits were gone, they went on. She crawled to a nearby hut and there the women took her for a phantom and did not want to open it, only some conscious peasant, hearing her call, opened it and she was given first aid. She was driving home still in shock.
