As the train remained so long We all
got very hungry, and although the
food available at this place did not
seem at al. appetizing, still after we
all were SO hungry we had to eat
enough to get along until the next
morning. The sleeping propositions
was the hardest of all Some of our
party however resolved to spend the
night outside on the sand, while 9TH
ers tried to arrange the baggage so
as to get some sleeping space. We
were all glad to leave the train when
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1919-07-10

we returned to Hankow just before
the railway traffic was interrupted
because bridge was destroyed by the
overflow of river between Hankow
and the mountain.
AS we expected to take the train to
the mountain l visited the railway
station to make inquiry about the
train service. and found that it would
take several weeks before the bridge
would be rebuilt. There were only two
trains each day although the number
Of passengers was SO great that not
only the seats but also the platforms
were filled, and one Of these trains

we got to our last station early in the
morning 1t had taken % hours for
the l30 miles, which average about 6
miles an hour At the station We
found coolies waiting to carry our bag
gage and We reached the settlement
on the mountain in good time for
breakfast. This settlement consists
of about two hundred houses. which
have been erected TO the greater num-
Der, by foreigners, but there are also
quite few which belong to the na-
tives.
There are also two schools for for

had only freight cars and nearly all
of them were open. / saw these op-
en- cars filled to the last inch of
standing capacity with people, and
some were even hanging to the cars
on the outside. l asked at the in
formation bureau why they had so few
trains running, when the number of
passengers was SO great. They could
not give any reason, but said that the
Chinese government had engaged
French managers to control the train
service and everything was due to
their management. If that is so, and
the Frenchmen cannot manage any
better than that, l told him that he
had better send them home and en-
gage American managers. They
laughed heartily at this, and said that
would be the best thing to do.
We could not wait at Hankow until
the bridge had been rebuilt, but de-
termined to take the earliest train on
Friday morning, the 10th of May, as
there was another train to go with
waiting on the other side of the river,
where the. bridge was destroyed. The
tickets sold for $2l0 each full tick
ct. but we found that dollar notes is
sued at Pekin could be used, and that
those notes were only worth 66 cents
| each at Hankow. BY using these dol
lar notes we could save 68 cents on
each ticket, but the greatest problem
was to manage to get seats on the
train. Mr. Jones, an English mis-
sionary of the China Inland Mission
went with US to procure seats. for he
had some experience in such matters.
Before the train stopped he jumped
on and held seats for US by force.
It was not possible to get thru the
doors with our baggage for the great
throng, so we had the suit cases and
package delivered to US through a
window. The train left Hankow at
7:2O A. NJ. and although hours time
! would have been enough to reach our
destination, it took about hours to
get to the bridge where we had to
change trains. AS the passages, plat
forms and steps were crowded with
people and baggage. the quickest way
TO get off the train was to jump thru
the window, and this was done by
great number of the passengers. who
were inside the cars. In order to Sc
cure a seat on the other train. we
had to send one of our party ahead
to hold them for us, or we would be
obliged to stand or to sit on our pack
ages in some passage or on SOME plat
form. The trainmen however engag-
ed coolies to carry our things free OF
charge. We had to walk over mile
to get the other train, and some OF
us had to do this twice in order to get
our things along, but we were fortu-
nate enough to get seats, although
they were the same kind of narrow
benches as those we had on the first
train. 1t got rather late before the
train could leave, and when we got
to the next station, our train kept
switching back and forth until about
9 o'clock at night and finally remain
ed standing on the track until after
liz 100 A. NJ. A new train however was
arranged, and all the soldiers which
were on our train were hurried off on
it. tried to find out what the rea-
son for this could be, but could not.

longer needed around here, and others
