little mounds The guide informed
us that this was the burying ground
for the poor and had been used as
such for centuries. Thousands and
thousands of these little mounds COW
cred the hills for at least a mile and
even as We looked several mournful
little professions moved out slowly
along the valley with much wailing.
rich man died he was buried in
better place and followed by large
procession He seemed surprised
when 1 informed him that the same
custom prevailed in America and
the Spaniard added "tambien en- Els
pana" (also in SPAIN.
The city wall stretched away up
the hill and the guide informed us it
encircled the city and was built
twenty-five hundred years ago. We
alighted from the chairs and, mount
ing to the top of the wall, we walked
along the crest of it for about a half
mile, when we came to an old FIVE
story pagoda. This, according to the
guide, was built by the Tartars for
a fort eighteen hundred years ago;
1t was built of stone with the excep-
ton Of massive wooden pillars. We
asked the guide if this wood was
eighteen hundred years old and he
replied that sometimes a piece was
replaced but that he had no doubt
some of 1t was original; ascending
wooden stairs to the fifth floor we
found open doors and windows on

over the city for 81. We made a
bargain with him for we knew it was
folly to attempt to go through the
city without guide. He produced
the chairs with three Cinnamon to
each-two in front and one behind
but when they lifted the Spaniard
they howled for another man On his
chair the Spaniard good-naturedly
agreed and we started off at a brisk
walk or half trot in single file with
the guides chair in the lead the
gait of the coolies gave sort Of a
lettering motion 20 the chairs which
was not at all unpleasant. We start
ed through a narrow passage way
between shanties and | kept think
ing we would soon come to a street
but | soon discovered that there were
no streets here worthy of the name:
Just narrow alleys with scarcely
room for two chairs to pass. These
alleys were lined with shops and the
vertically overhead practically ex-
Guiding the sunlight. We passed
through throngs of Cinnamon who
stared at us in a manner far from
friendly for it is well known. that
Chinese have no love for the foreign
devils. They brushed against both
n n oi
through and l felt secret comfort
in the fact that l was. not working
my way through them on foot Oc-
casionally we passed a Chinese po-
liceman who carried club and
short revolver in his belt Our chair
men kept up continual shouting
to warn people out of our way and
even then we barely avoided numer-
Gus collisions. The poles projected
about eight feet to the front and
rear of the chairs and it required
delicate maneuvering to get them
around some of the corners for both
ends of the poles would scrape on
the buildings.
Occasionally the guide would give
the signal to halt and the coolies
would lower the chairs to the
ground so we could step out to enter
some shop. He took us into shops
filled with marvellous works of sill
verware, silks, linens, ivory carving,
etc., at all of which we were given a
good opportunity to spend money.
1t is an admirable place to go shop
ping for the articles are beautiful
and the prices ridiculously low.
Eventually we passed out through
the massive old city wall and got
view of the open country. 1t seemed
good to get out into the sunlight and
fresh air once more and take look
around. The country was hilly and
the hills near us were dotted with

/ the only place there was room for
one. On all sides of us were English
business houses, English clerks, En-
| glish soldiers and sailors and the
unmistakable English accent which
reminded us that England owns Vic
toria Island on which Hong Kong is
| located. learned later that the
English think we are the ones who
have the accent" and they often
ridicule the American accent"
Boarding trolley car we ran for
several miles out of the city along
the waters edge and saw much work
of improvement going on. At one
place a tremendous dry dock was
being hewn out of the solid rock.
In another a hill was being graded
down for level ground is at pre-
MUM here. Gangs OF Chinese men
and women were working together
with pick and shovel and groups of
Chinese children were playing APP
parently as happy as so many young
Americans. One boy ran along with
our car turning handsprings and
holding out his hand to us. We
tossed him a penny whereupon he
transformed himself into a living
cartwheel as long as he could keep
up with the car, not forgetting to
shove out his hand to US between
turns.
Arriving back at the city we took
a walk up the side of the mountain
through the European residence por-
ton. The Europeans here seem to
do little walking as nearly every one
we saw was seated in a chair slung
on long poles and carried on the
shoulders of coolies. We followed a
fine cement road winding up among
houses and trees from which similar
roads branched off in all directions.
The houses were all fine stone build
ings and some of them might almost
be called castles.
Coming to cable road running
straight up the mountain, we board

The following is taken from a

New York.-George Steunenberg.
Hong Kong, China, April ~, 1905.
There was little worthy of remark
on the two day run from Manila to
Hong Kong aside from the change of
temperature. We came on board
the "Rubi" in Manila on April ] Il,
sweltering in white duck, and a
couple days later we entered Hong
Kong harbor wearing heavy clothing
and wooden underwear. The passen-
gers crowded the deck, eager for the
first glance at China. that breezy
April morning as our little craft

hills into the bay There we moved
on past merchantmen and memo

ally dropped anchor near the city.
Hong Kong appeared to be built
largely on the side of a mountain
which rose almost at the waters
edge. The harbor was alive with
traffic and we had no sooner anchor
ed than we were overrun with hotel
runners and san-pan men. A Span

to speak English, Joined me just as

At the dock a gang of coolies, clam
oring to carry our trunks, came at us
with such a rush that two of them
fell off the dock and got a chilly
bath. number of the old familiar
rikshas, like big, two-wheeled baby
carriages, were waiting at the land
ing and, with the help of these, we
were soon located at the Hotel

here we went on afoot to the highest
summit we could find and from this
height the view was certainly grand
We could see water on all sides OF

more than five miles across. There
was a scattering of residences clear
to the summit and on the surround
ing hills cement roads and trails
wound in all directions whereby a
person would climb all over the hills
in The rain without getting his feet
muddy. On our way down we pass
ed numbers of coolies plodding pa
tiently. up the hill laden with bask-
cts of coal, brick, ETC., which they
were carrying clear from the water
front.
In order to go out to the U. s.
battleship Wisconsin which was
lying in the harbor, we took San
pan" or native boat. 1t was a craft
about thirty feet long by six wide,
decked over and was evidently the
home of an entire family. A woman
sat in the stern and held the steer
ing oar and sheet rope while another
woman and little boy handled the
oars. The woman at the oars had a
baby slung on her back and down
the forward hatch we could see an
other child sleeping. The whole
family was barefooted, though the
weather was far from warm. They
rowed out toward the Wisconsin"
until a breeze struck us when they
hoisted sail; as the breeze struck
her she listed over until the water
ran into the lee scuppers, but the
woman in the stern managed her
without the slightest concern. This
trip cost us ten cents each. Hun
dreds of families pick up a livelihood
in this manner and they apparently
cook, eat and sleep in their san-pans
all the year round.
That night the Spaniard and |
boarded an English river steamer
for Canton. 1t proved to be pirat-
ical craft for they charged us 81

reaching Canton at daylight. We
