their employment IN their native China,
in order TO induce them to make the
trip. They were promised wages that
to Hongkong coolies seemed boundless
wealth and comforts they had never
known. Whatever vagaries the climate
possessed were kept, as to them, in the
mysterious background; of these nothing
was said.
They endured the discomforts of the
voyage cheerfully. or at least stoically.
Some ten or a dozen died en- route and
were thrown to the fishes, but their
comrades probably regarded this as
thing ordained. and made no murmur.
Panama was reached. the party was
disembarked and work on the railway
construction was begun.
Then the Chinese began to die, as well
of the pangs of Inconsistencies and the
deprivation of their remedy for it

the practice was expensive, for each of

Cinnamon ind many days work this
represented a large sum.
At any rate the issue of opium was
stopped. The coolies were caught and
held in the meshes Of despair. The fever
carried many of them away and those
who managed to resist its death-dealing
power sought death in other ways Some
impaled themselves on the tools with
which they did their daily toll; others
tied heavy stones to their garments and
flung themselves into the waters of the
streams; others sat calmly by the sea-
shore until the tide came in and blotted
them out forever; still others bargained
for death with their fellows, yielding
their every possession to him who would
administer the thrust that would end
their miseries.
BY fever or their own hand or that of
one of their fellows practically all of
them died 1t was one Of the tragedies
of the isthmus.
Isthmian Not Strenuous.
Your typical isthmian is not ambitious
of work-certainly not of the type that
involves the construction of railways
and the digging of bitches. 1t may be

This description of a wedding feast

Lionel Waters, a gentleman-ad-

years ago. With the single exception of

AS in the other Spanish-American
countries there is on the isthmus an as

something that approXimates 1t. The
masses of the people are blends of
