Useful Sedan Chair In the Crowded,
Noisy Streets Of Canton.
There are but two ways to go about
Canton-on foot or In . sedan chair.
The streets are from four to eight feet
wide. the average being probably about
six feet and wheeled vehicles are out
Of the question. Even the jinrikisha
cannot be used here. II you try to
make your way on foot. the density Of
the moving masses renders progress al
most impossible. and rowdies and pick
pockets are numerous, SO that the best
plan Is to take q responsible native
guide and chair.
The chairs are carried by two. three
and sometimes four men, according to
the weight Of the passenger. The two
bamboo poles by whichs tia chair is
supported are about eishts4as feet long
and are joined at the front and rear
ends by a crossEsece. After you have
taken your seat the coolies raise the
ends Of the poles to their shoulders
and are on at a dogtrot, only inter
rupted by congestion Of trafdc, -
which occurs very frequently.
1t Is surprising to see how rapidly
they can 80 through the crowded
streets. The whole lire Of chair car
riers are yelling all the time. as are
other people who are carrying burdens,
for as there are no carts In use the
entire merchandise Of the city is trans
ported in the same manner. not by
chairs. Of course. but slung on poles
carried across the shoulders.
The noise resulting from the stimuli.
taneous shouting Of every one In sight
