Many died during the passage, but it made no difference to them, although the wish of a Chinaman is to be buried in his own country. This Chinese custom gave the idea to enterprising Americans to start agencies for the transport of corpses from California to China, and many were the ships which were freighted exclusively for that purpose. I witnessed several Chinese burials, the Chinese cemetery being on the road from San Francisco to the Mission of Dolores, not far from my house. During the wh...ole distance from the house of the dead to the cemetery they fired crackers, burned odoriferous papers, and usually the mourners were numerous. About that time I made the acquaintance of Mr. Derbec, a clever man, who, after trying his luck with the placers like so many others, came back to San Francisco and started the newspaper I Echo du Pacifique. He was the proprietor and the editor of that journal, one of the best French newspapers ever published in San Francisco. He was a learned and modest man, and of agreeable society.
