Of

good
deal of work ,
b"Ilt
It .... not Uke Bong-Kong , where ,,'II'ork waa cut out from morning to
night . So I Uked
it.
The laat
time
I \'as there, hoWever , I had to take
Albert'. place and work
Iteadll~.
He 'II'as taken ill and hEld to go
home .
The
story
18
rather an odd one . He, with some others , was
o-ut
on the
rivel' one afternoon when they s1.opped at a
temple
not
rar
from
Shan8ha! ,
where Albert aaked one of the priest. t o tell him

the
priest came

he
got bet ter
and althollgh there
had
been
mutteri~1
about the caUI6 of hie illne..,
they Bubsided, and noth1D,t1; more Wilt

But
he
loon had another at-
tack, and then the Chlne.. ;,egan to Bay
he
was beillt; attlleted by the
l1tth
man on
the

It

a bad thing to haVE' any Ill.picion

then
he
would be peaceably d1ll.,,0led and "ould give no IIIOr6 trouble. H6
gave
