70 TH E LINGUIST calling their wares, while rats ran out of the shops into open sewers and up inside the drain pipes. Most beautiful of all was our trip through the Inland Sea Myriads of little islands, through which our boat very cautiously wound her way. It was most wonderful at night, with a full moon-Q little villages on the islands and hundreds of small fishing boats with lights on their nets. almost like liretlies in the grass on a summer night. ' Landed in Shanghai we heard a funeral band play Johnny Get your Gun, and Over There. At the Missionary Home our room- boy wanted to knowyif we wanted one bath twice or two baths. Wecame to Nanking on a Chinese river steamer. It was to sail' at midnight, bnt all night until four a. m. coolies loaded, shouting,. chanting. and laughing, boatswains whistles. sirens blowing enlivened our sleep At four with much noise fl thought it was a riotj we got off down the Whangpoo from Shanghai to the sea, then up the- Yangtzse. The name of the boat was Chang On, Eternal Peace. Two days later we arrived at I-Isiakwan. Here our veteran- friend gave us an exhibition of bargaining for carriages. We now believe he prolonged it for our pleasure and editication. At least there was no doubt the drivers enjoyed itas with good spirits and quick retort they bantered back and forth. Having agreed, there was still tea money'3 to talk about. Finally with many words, a few more coppers and many grins, we were off, up the Bund, over the old' wooden bridge, past the American consulate, up the Drum Tower hill' and home to Nankingf' Happy day long looked forward to! How good tasted the pleasant. dinner that was steaming hot and' awaiting us. - -- XV. li. S. One thing. an ocean voyage brings out all there is in a fellow. With tnost of us all we could keep on our stomachs was our hand. Most of us did the whale stunt on the way over, but we retnembered Jonah, that he came out all right, and we knew we would too. --W When one new missionary reached China, she wrote home to her Mission Board that she had thrown up every thing but her appoint- ment. ml--Q A new missionary was breaking in some new territory on the district where no foreign woman had ever travelled. In the inn where she was to eat her lunch, such 'a great crowd had gathered that she decided to eat Chinese food with chop sticks rather than have the table spread in foreign style. U An old woman tisted her way through the crowd until at last she could see the missionary. Then she called out to the crowd who could not see O Look, sheis civilized just like we arc and uses chopsticks. V . After being in China for awhile, all the .foreign women say that there is no place in the world where a foreign woman is so safe to travel alone as in China. One always feels perfectly safe at night out anywhere with one's ricksha man or, sedan chair carriers or boatmen.
