MISS MARY c. WILLIS
ENCOUNTERS TyPHOONS
Former Wilmington Woman
Writes Of Her Experiences
in China.

Miss Mary C: willis. formerly of
this city. now a Young Womens
Christian Association secretary In
Canton, China, has written to several
OF her Wilmington friends about her
first summer in China.
She left Canton June n for Hong
Kong, accompanied by several asso-
ciation secretaries and two native Sec
retaries. At Annoy they crossed the
harbor to Kulangsoo, the foreign Sec
ton, which Ia said to have more
wealth for It's stze than any other
place In the world.
At Foochow Miss Willis was met
by a secretary whom she welcomed
as an Interpreter, for although she
was familiar with Cantonese. she
could not understand word OF the
Foochow dialect. She climbed the
steep mountain to Kuliang in chair
borne by four men with long 'amboo
poles over their shoulders. Miss Will
lis is evidently partisan of Canton,
for she says that there the coolies
are wonderful bearers and ,yer Jolt
one at all. whereas In the -.,untans
she was nearly shaken to pieces.
w h'h vic t'ttu tnc t'ttHE llt
longer, she would walk until nearly
exhausted. Stone steps have been
built all the way up the moritsin.
1900 feet, and around the peaks nd
| from dwelling to dwelling. All he
houses are made of stone and each
has a big typhoon wall around It. All
these stones were carried up the
mountains by coolies, as everything is
transported on human backs. Women
do much OF the burden bearing, maxi
| ing fearful noise with their COM
! plants and shouts.
Their bungalow, which was occu-
pied by five association secretaries
and missionary from Soochow, was
situated in pine grove overlooking
| Foochow and was near the tennis
courts, church, store and homes, where
hundreds of missionaries from all over
China gather for their vacation. Many
OF them never see any white people
except their missionaries in their sta
ton except during the summer. and
so parties, hikes, breakfasts, dinners
and picnics are daily happenings.
Peddlers selling lacquer, silver, laces,
embroideries and other Chinese wares
were daily visitors and Miss Willis
purchased many curios anent her fur
Tough.
In the mornings four Of the new
missionaries studied Chinese. Part of
her vasation was spent at the seashore
at Sharp Peak.
While at Kuliang Miss Willis en-
countered typhoon which was terri
Tying. The house where she %yas
leaked so badly that they had to spend
one night moving beds, clothing
books, &c, from the torrents of rain
AT Sharp Peak another typhoon KEEP,
them indoors for two days. A coolie
nailed big log against the windows
and one against the floor to protec,
them from the storm
Miss Willis is now at Canton again
which she says she feels has becom,
almost like home. She Is makins
rapid progress with the language anl
feels that three years is not such q lon,
time to wait before she can come I,
America.

Watson he was playing on the street !,

his sense Of direction. says Watson,
and instead Of getting out Of the way
of the car. he started directly to

could not calculate which way TO
turn out 30 a. not to hit him.
