In Spanish Honduras the dish Of
honor is baked monkey, and sweeter
meat you could not imagine. These
monkeys live up in the branches of
trees and on the vines; their feet never
touch the earth beneath them. and they
live on the choicest nuts and fruits.
No chicken was ever SO sweet and ten-

though, that on one of the last occa-

Nearly two months have passed since
our arrival at this place-a city of
many hundred thousand inhabitants
on the Per Ho river, fifty miles from
its mouth. This stream is one of the
crookedest in the world, many of its
turns being SO abrupt that it requires
skill to navigate it. At the entrance
Z of the river is an immense mud bank,
which can only be crossed at high tide
by vessels of light draft. so whom a
steamer arrives she must anchor and
be lightered to about ten feet, when it
it is possible to cross the bar. which is
three or four miles wide. The Chinese
Government will not allow this natural
barrier TO be cut away, as it most
effectually prevents foreign gunboats
from entering the river, while on both
sides are mud forts called the Takee
forts. heavily mounted with artillery.
About halfway up the Tientsin is an
other of these forts, which is the largest
of its kind in the world and the best.
