Q.
A.
What did he speak English or Chinese?
He told me to tell him, and the man said "if you don't see me, I have got to go home to the country tonight", and he (Ward) said "How long are you going for". "Probably about two weeks" he said. "Going so long" Ward said. "When you come back, come and see me".
Yes?
The man left.
Yes?
He asked him if he would have a drink or not, and he then drank a little. After he had a little drink he went away. Then it came to our turn to have a drink.
You and Mr Ward?
Yes, and we drank, and he asked me about the boats. You are a Conservancy contractor, aren't you?
Yes.
well, he asked you about the boats, you say?
He said I must use fewer men; that I must certainly give him some money; "How can I give you money" I said. He said "There are several people on your boats. Employ one or two less". I said "If we do employ one or two less, it is only a few dollars". He said at first he wanted $40 a month. I said "I cannot give it to you". I said "I have lost on my business, in fact, there has been a flood above Canton". I said "I can't do it". I said "I have not the authority to give money to people. I am not the only master".
