them any idea of his possible arrival On

there the following morning in high sea in
which it was almost impossible to land IN

days and even then had to leave without
full cargo as il was impossible to keep the
large barges from being broken up against
the side of our vessel; in fact, one large
loaded to the waters edge, was entirely de-
molshed.
The arrival of the coolies in sampans was
most interesting on account of the heavy sea
and the great care the coolies took to keep
themselves and their belongings from being
washed overheard. Arriving at the side of
the vessel the next thing was to get them on
but by the aid of poles with a hook on the
end and rope ladders they clambered up the
sides. Before starting the 500 coolies were
driven to the bow OF the boat; then the doctor
ard his assistant stood at the head of gang

man had to come singly in line entirely nude,
with his clothes In bundle held above his
