are enjoying friendly game of Majong
which corresponds in popularity with
our own NATIONAL pastime-poker. It
lis played with a set of ivory and bam-
boo men and somewhat resembles our
game of dominoes, being however much
more complicated.
I'VE must await the return of our
couriers before doing anything fur
possible, his envoy. -. The exact loca-
ton Of the band is not known, but we
believe that they are about 100 Ii zap
proximately "a miles) to the north
west; so, with good luck, our couriers
should be back here by Monday night.
Il will write you in a few days and
let you know what success we are
meeting with. . But don't worry
about me, as every precaution is being
taken for our safety and so there is
no danger. :. am thoroughly enjoy
ing the whole game, though I must ad-
NIT that 1 felt bit uneasy night be-
fore last and yesterday, our last day
of travel. =. Whiting is a walled city
and we have a small garrison of spe-
cially picked men who would give the
bandits a terrible wallop if they should
happen, by any chance, to come this
way; but, of course, they will not. All
reports are most encouraging and we
really expect Yang Tien Flu to do the
wise thing, viz: accept the terms of
the government, which they have made
quite liberal; surrender with all of his
men !, numbering approximately from
five to eight hundred in all and turn
Shelton over.
