port In China and sometimes trading
with Japan. none Of the family ever
going ashore except on business. He

were kept alive for food and were
taken outand dressed only when want

the refrigerating process are unknown
to the average Chinaman.
When the ladies desire to do some
shopping, they either take a small boat
and go to one of the many store-boats
in this floating town. or have the boat
come alongside in order that they may
make what purchases they wish.
We returned to the launch and ext
visited store-boat. which was a large
affair with one mast and a huge BAN

like great house boat, the deck only
being a few steps above the water.
We entered and found a floating shop
not unlike one Of the stores in the
native quarters of the city Of Hong
Kong on land. She had long counters
with rows Of shelves extending clear
to the ceiling and almost every fac,l.

found IN small dry goods store on

One end Of this apartment was par.
titioned off and served as a dwelling
house for the ships captain and his
family, while the other end was used
as a sort of forecastle, where the crew
and clerks live and spend their time
when not required in the shop. We
visited several other boats of this
kind and found them very much the
same in construction, varying only in
the wares they offered for sale. They
are nearly all gorgeously decorated.
