Ferguson, who seemed connected both with the British and Foreign Bible Society and the Church Missionary Society. For five years he had been travelling in the remotest parts of China, and he had many strange adventures to record. He had several times been chased and caught by mounted robbers, had been stoned, and beaten, and shot through the hand, and had several times saved his life by threatening to use the revolver which he carried and for which CHENG-TU. 227 the brigands had a wholesome res...pect. On one occasion, when the weapon was produced, the robber band restored his horses, formed up in ceremonial order, and kowtowed to him and his party as they rode away.
One afternoon we visited the Arsenal in the south- east corner of the town, and were very courteously taken over the establishment by the Director, a Chinese, recently appointed from the southern Arsenal at Tientsin. It is entirely under Chinese control. From 400 to 500 men and boys were employed at wages from 80 cash per day up to one tael (for the exceptionally skilled), working n or 12 hours a day with three intervals for meals, which are supplied to them.
