Mr Chun Ayin explained that the um brails is called "Mau Man San," meaning thereby the "Ten Thousand People's um bralia," a term of indefinite number among the Chinese. It was the highest mark of honour a Chinaman could shew to his official, by whom he was governed.

His Excellency said be quite understood the value of the umbrella.
