Emperor of all China to say to the
Governor that China was glad to have
this opportunity of having one of its
great men meet a great American. and

knothole view of His Highness from
the top of the stairs. the distance
being probably one hundred feet.
This view was occasionally obstructed
as Chief MeDufie walled up the door
way with his bulk, or when Captain
Wilbur walked in. However, the cap
tain is long-legged and not so stout as
the chief, and a view could be oh.
tanned around him now and then.

Several japanese boys passed through
