Chinese Pirates We Didn't Our Trip the 81

4! A LITTLE English steamer sails up the
"A Si-Kiang from Canton once a week.
arrying his majesty's commands to the
Aglish consul who lives forlornly at Wei
Aov, and dropping mail and passengers at
the villages along its shores. The sulue
books say no traveller should miss trip
mn the Si-Kiang, which flows through the
most beautiful part of China, but most
travellers do miss it and Intentionally because
the river is infested by pirates.
That is what the American consul AZ
Honxkonz told Us, but we thought he was
reuancing and blithely took passage on the
Sai-Nam for wuchow.
The Sai-Nam was an English steamship
18th m English captain, Portuguese mate
and . Chinese crew. She had accommoda-
.;,ns for six frst-class passengers and sew
.,,l hundred third class, who happened on
,h;. trim to be Chinese villagers who had
been TO Suy or sell in Canton.
Az our steamer threaded its way through
ne svarming sampans the women stood at
IN. oars of the rocking boats and vituperated
,hs eaptain and each other, their shriil
,,,ces minslinx with the shriller cries of the
.h;Idr.n and the cackling of thousands of
chickens.
Fiv, first cabin passengers sat down to
dinner in the tiny saloon OF the Sal Nam
and the captain said casually:
"I have enough arms and ammunition for
an first cabin passengers
..P;r.tesf' we gasped, and then remem-
A.red the stout iron gates between the first
and third cabin, end the two Filipino guards
vho were patrolling the first cabin deck.
Possibly answered the captain. "a

nosit a certain sum at certain place before

s.nosit the money and" he shrugged his
.honlders, "almost anything may happen.

THE legends say children were first
y ~ L. nll IL n

THE legends say children were first
To be abroad that Easter Day
When morning out of darkness burst,
And angels rolled the stone a,Day.
For chu1drens hearts are quick to feel
The deaden;ns fall of mortal Pain.
And Children hearts are first to heal
When light and comfort come again.
And they had 1oued the Lord Chr;st's face,
And on HIS knees had laughed and cried.
And heard Him say the heavenly blace
Is wAere all ch,1d-Eke souls abide;
And they had often heard Him tell
Strong men by Pride and greed def1ed
That they could never Hease Him weD
TIN they were humble as child.
And they had heard the tale that sv;eves
An little hearts: how One 50 dear
Was nailed UPON a cross w;th thieves,
And tortured w;th a POISONED sbea,;
And how the TEMPLES ,Dondrous ue;1
Was riven by the lightning stroke,
While, mingled ,0ith the von,en's ,oa;1.
The earthquake and the thunder broke;
And how there came from northern seas
A terrified brigade of su'1s.
S,oebt on by some unearthly breeze,
To scream abope the b1ace of skulls;
And ho,o black night came doDn a, noon,
And ghosts from graves thai o6ened w,;de
Sku1ked out beneath bIood-red moon,
When He that 1oved the children died.

But when the earth that third day morn
Was flooded p;th such golden hsh.
As never SINCE the Dor1d ,Oas born

Then every child. the legends say,
Knew that the time ,Oas at an end,
Knew that the stone was rolled a,oay,
And fetO to meet the risen Friend.
And long before the Magdalene
Had reached the empty seSu1ch,e.
Or Peter heard ,Dhat she had seen,

The children had gone forth and found

And scattered lilies on the ground.
And seen His smile. and heard Him talk.

turmoil in the sampans that svarned

around the steamship when she anchored,
the shouting and gesticulating-the laughter,
the shrieks of anger. The amusing thing
considering the tales we hear of the sub

of the women in charge of the sampans. The
men quailed before them and did their bid
ding with haste. 1 remembered that had
heard WI Ting Fang say to On American
