He was a rather delicately made, effeminate-looking man, tall and handsome, highly cultivated, and fond ot quoting Goethe and Alfred de Musset. I think he really lacked the nerve for such an expedition as ours. In the Oriental phrase he had "no heart." His obvious defection was extremely unsettling to the " boys," and we b^an to wonder whether any of the company would go farther than Pe-sfe. When we were having negotiations with officials I became convinced that my interpreter was carrying on c...onversation on his own account, and the situation became intolerable. I believe I lost my temper at last and threw a book at his head — I am sure he richly deserved it He turned to me during an interview with some minor official and told me to ** give him that book." As I had been sitting there, getting very impatient at the wholly gratuitous conversation he was carrying on, this was a little too much ! I think he was a good deal sur- prised, and the minor official must have been frightfully scandalised, but this incident had the desirable effect of bringing things (in more than one sense) 'Uo a head." Hong Beng-Kaw said, that after such an insult he could never go on with us, so he abandoned us, in the most airy manner, to our fate.
