They ate only twice a day, and thensparingly, of maize and vegetables; they took but little rice, and notea, and only a very small allowance of pork once in two days. Food wasvery dear, and, though they were receiving nearly double wages to carryhalf-loads, they must needs be careful. What admirable fellows theywere! In all my wanderings I have never travelled with more good-naturedcompanions. The attendant Laohwan was a powerful Chinese, solid anddetermined, but courteous in manner, voluble of... speech, but with anamusing stammer; he had a wide experience of travel in Western China. Heseemed to enjoy his journey--he never appeared lovesick; but, of course, I had no means of asking if he felt keenly the long separation from hisbride.
At the inn there was no bedding for my men; they had to coverthemselves, as best they could, with some pieces of felt brought them bythe hunchback, and sleep all huddled together from the cold. They had afew hardships to put up with, but their lot was a thousand times betterthan that of hundreds of their countrymen who were dying from hunger aswell as from cold.
