The people were curious, and if I was putting down something in my notebook a crowd would watch me write, and they would come and touch my, to them, extraordinary-looking clothes. Scores, if not hundreds, would accompany me in my walk through a town or village. CUB MYSTERIOUS VESSEL The whole population turned out at every town and village to see our launch pass. A boat forging her way up stream without a tow-rope, sail, or rowers, was indeed a mystery and a wonder. When we blew the steam-whist...le many ran away, others put their fingers in their ears, and the rest laughed with astonishment and delight. 144 CHINA AND THE PEESENT CEISIS STONED BT THE CHINESE At one place only had we anything in the nature of an attack, and that was at the town of Wan- Hsien. Many thousands of Chinese were massed on a steep sandbank, against which we were moored, when a quarrel arose between the shoremen who were coaling us and the boatmen of a sampan who were bringing people to see the launch. They first spat in each other's faces, and then seized hold of each other's pigtails ; whereupon the crowd took sides, and in an instant showers of stones were flying around the launch, smashing the engine-room sky- light, cracking a port deadlight, and knocking a corner off the after-compartment.
