Everybody knows that through the gorges in
China bouls are towed up the river. Through this particular pass the towing path is on the left side, as one looks towards the mouth, But on the opposite there appear to be fragments of a path, glued like swallows' nests against the face of perpendicular cliffs, though what pus pose it ever served, if any, it is difficult to see, Perhaps when the river was higher, and had not ploughed its way so deeply through the gorge, there was an allempt to form a towing path on the right side, and yet the fragments

The Blied Boy' came from somewhere in the North of China though I never heard where, and had to pass through the gorge on a special mission to the South, Trouble and anarchy ruled in China then; and it had been announced to him by the fairies thathe was to get through the gorge, and turned south- ward. At the south end of the Pass a guide would be waiting, and together they were to press forward to Szeting, where they would be supported by loyal soldiers, ho` would' proj claim him Emperor. Hitherto, being blind, he had been led by the fairies, and indeed, as I have said, it was the latter who laid down the remarkable towing path through the Past. In order to be successful, haxever, he must emerge from the southern end before the pheasants began to cry, ère the first beams of light shot from the eastern sky. At the samp moment be would, by the gracious act of the fairies, who had protected him so far, receive sight. But everything depended on the con dition that he got through ere the pheasant, cried and the light dawned. So the 'Blind Bay' crept forward along the precipitous path- way, so dangerous and so uncertain. But somehow he was not so vigorous, and eager as he should have been, and indeed appeared somewhat timid and hesitant. 'Whatever wa the cause he never emerged at the southern end. When within about two hundred yards. of the exit, where the path was most difficult. and progress most dangerous, holingered awhile, and wondered how long, it would be before day. light. His good fairies bad already left him to bis own resources, and had ceased to impel him forward. This hasitancy and delay were fatal.
