They were then hunger, and lack of hospitality. They were forced to shoulder their bicycles over mountains, wade through flooded areas, and found the villages on the way vainhabitated owing to the prevalence of banditry and civil war. They were, how. ever not molested in any way.
They left Shanghai on July 11th, but before doing so they received a special pass from r. Tang Shao Yi, who was formerly Ambassador for China in the United States. Wherever they went they produced this pass, and it was for thean what the magic word Sesame was for Ali Baba. But for this pass, the cyclists were of opinion that they would never have reached Canton
Frightened Villagers. From Shanghai they went to Hangchow and then entered Anhui province; They found the region to be very mountainous, and their only track was by way of stone steps. They had to carry their cycles and more often than not hardly covered ten miles a day. They moreover had great difficulty in getting food and water. Often as they approached the villages the inhabitants taking them to be rabbers, closed their doors against them. Added to the many discomforts was the intense beat, which was often-128 degrees. On reaching the Mission stations they were cordially welcomed and fed. They wash ed their clothes and bathed in the rivers alongside the route.
