eve reaches it, except that which "cannos1" off the hills, at an angle against you. But this moist, stifling heat, so terrible to us, isnt the stern, and hooped over with aiches of evidently healthy and bracing to the Chinese, They revel in it, and stretch themselves out to enjoy its fiercest rays like cats in a window; or tol with heavy stones slug on a bamboo, or chairs containing fourteen-stone Britons, up the steep paths to the bungalows, with their closly shaven heads unsheltered by anything except their pigtails twisted round them, until their brains must dry up and rattle in their skulls like a preserved lychee,
Queen's-road is all alive, and the natives are running up and down like ante. Nobody remains where he is but the barberk, who place their little stools under the shade of a clump of trees near the club, and keep up a noise all day long which almost out-clamours the crickets above them, Sometimes the travelling cook-shop keeper pauses here for a minute. His establishment is slung over his shoulder, and it consists of two bamboo franes, about three feet high by two square. When he stops, he connects them by a board forming a sort of counter, or table. Oue frame holds his kitchen, which is chiefly a copner heated by charceal, and containing "stock." The other bas his materials in drawers and on shelves; and, on the top, his spoons and little basins, with saucers full of pickled shrimps, wheaten paste, small oysters, fowls entrails, pork fat, hab, and long onions. From a string, he now and then hangs a rat or a large fat frog: And out of these specimens of food he compounds more dishes, by artful combinations, and provides a more varied carte, than any two-franc restaurateur, with "quatre plats au cholx" in the Palais Royal. A potege bo vends at "two twenty-five cash a cup" is inscrutable: but cask go to a penny, it cannot be dear, whatever it is.
Then people go by with large flat baskets A containing what looks like squares of yellow soap, marked with a red Chinese character. This is their substitute for cheese. Nothing will induce them to touch milk in any shape; and this article, called "taou," is made from beans a species of card precipitated by an acid. I do not care much about the fruits which they wish me to buy. The Chinese gooseberry is over three. inches long, and, cut through, its section forms a perfect star. The persimmon is like a large egg-plum, but containing half a dozen stones; the pear is as hard as a potato, quite round and tastes of nothing; bananas I abominate, reminding me of cotton wool and bear's grease mixed together; and I cannot agree with Mr.. Wingrove Cooke that the Amoy pommelo is the finest fruit' in the world. Be assured that all over the globe there is no garden like the centre avenue of Covent-garden; no fruit so fine as our strawberry, peach, and hot-house grape. People say to me," Ah but you should he bere in (some other month) and taste our (some other fruit). I always want to hit these folks. They are of those who, when you say you have been. to Chamounix, always reply, Ah! but you should have gone to Zermatt" Amidst the restless hurrying crowd of the Hongkong main street-coolies, naked to the waist, carrying enormous weights; merchants in bamboo chairs, braving coup de soleil, fever, and dysentery, everything, for the almighty dollar; clerks, tea-tasters, busying, like ants, to and out of their "go-downs," or warehouses; aleek, aly-eyed Parsees, able to cope even with the Yankees, oily compradors bearing bags of Mexican dollars to the banks; boat-girls in their coquettish handkerchief head-dresses; toddling women with little feet; babies in pig. tails gravely basking in sunny gutters-through all this mingled action and still life, we come down to Pedder's Wharf, and embark in a little boat, covered with arched matting, and pull off to the Fie-maa.
seventy or eighty Chinese There already on board, partitioned off, on the main deck, by themselves, with all sorts of dirty packages wondrous to behold: pil- lows made of bamboo matting, raw pork, seedy clothes, pine-apples, old shoes and dried fish packed inside lanterns, umbrellas, giblets carried by a string, and collections of such miscellaneous household things generally, as you see in the last lots of a sale catalogue.
were
The English passengers occupied the deck under the awning, and the saloon. We started punctually, and glided out of the harbour between many green islands, with small villages in their nooks and bays, wherein very suspicious pirate craft were lying ready to dart out of their holen, like spiders, upon any hapless Hitle junk that got caught in the meshes of the shallows.
We went pleasantly on for two hours or so without the scenery changing, until we emerged, by the Lantao passage, as it is called, into open water, and then we prepared for "tiffin." I say "prepar-d." for the passengers all looked to their revolvers. and.placed them within reach on the table; whilst the English and Portuguese crew stood at the different entrances on the main deck with loaded muskets, and drawn swords.
"What does all this mean ?". I asked. "We have too many Chinere on board," replied Captain Castella. They are nearly six to every one of us; so we do not wish to be served as the Quran was served a year and a
half ago."
"And how was that?"
The steamer was exptured, and the crew and passengers murdered. Mr. Osmond Clever ley was the only one who escaped, and you will meet him at Macao to-night. He will tell you his own story much better than I can,"
|
The excitement gave us all an appetite, and the pale ale (I suspect) gave us valour. The eatables were good and well cooked, and the Effia was a success, and passed off in safety. When it was ever we all went upon deck. The crew and passenger discharged their fire-arms at birds and other objects, to show that they bad been really loaded, and then we sat and chatted In the latiness of repletion, until we arrived about in the afternoon at M-cao.
The tank is, as its name implies in Chinese, an egg-shaped boat, little at the prow end, big bamboo and matting. It forms the home of more than one hundred thousand of the amphibious Cantonese; and these residences of the wind stretch out on the Pearl River to Whampoa and Macao, as our rows of clerks hou elets do to Woolwich and Gravesend on the living stream of the railway, Tais, however, is scarcely a comparison. The tanka population considered so low as to be almost unworthy of a place in the census. They live and marry amongst themselves; and are as distinct from the Cantonese proper as the fishing inhabitants of Portel are from the people of Boulogne.

LODGE
OF HONGKONG,
As soon as the steamer nears Macao, the tank as shoot out from the shore towards the spot where they know she will anchor; their oars are plied to well that their approach assumce the air of a cutting-out expedition. Throw a bun into the water of St. James's Park, and the ducks' will give you the best notion of the manner of attack, One woman sculls behind, and the other takes her place on the forecastic, with a rope and a boat book, prepared for the worst; and, as the entire feet makes for the sponsons of the steamer, when they meet the row begins. A-moon, the belle of the tankas, arrives first; and showing her beauti ful white teeth as she "chin-chins, makes fast to our paddle-box, and then nods her pretty bend, over which she has lightly tied a red hand- kerchief in that coquettish style which young ladies who know they are nice-looking adopt in the hall of the opera house when waiting for their carriages to come up. But A-tye, who is sort of rival in good looks, sculls strenuously up, and then with a good way on her boat, ships her stern oar, runs forward, banging between the tankas of Amorn and Amiu (who is a terrible vixen, and, they say, can fight like a cat, whence her name, which appropriately signifies Mr. Puss, in Chinese), runs to well and gains her THE Und MARINE HOTEL W Public of Hongkong and the Coast Ports, that ST. JOHN place. Amla immediately springs on her, all claws set, and knocks her over into the other boat. Amoen resents the intrusion with a boat- hook, upon which Atye seizes a chopper, not ber own, and cuts Amiu'stanka adrift, which is imme- diately shoved out to sea by Ayung, Achung, Aling, Aming, and as many more as you please
A herd of female jackos after one nut in their native jungle. could not have made such a screeching clatter, and their Chinese swearing must have been something awful. The first bold man who disembarked had a terrible time of it. He carried letters and despatches. Now I have always considered the conveyance of the mails in Russia on an insecure and unsatisfactory fooling, as illustrated by the Courier of St. Petersburg on his four horses at Astley's; but I saw this man, with my own eyes, in four boats at once. I never heard whether he reached the shore, or was pulled to pieces. A-miu now returned and lenocked" A-tye over into the water with her oar; but the girl swam like a fish, and climbed up the boat in an instant-her clothes, only a silk blouse and trousers-soon drying In the Macao sun. And at last, amongst screaming, fighting, and struggling crying, laughing, and swearing-I got to shor, but how, I have no more notion than how I once fell with a bursi balloon, from the height of a mile, surrounded by fireworks, into a street in the Vauxhall-road, which, for the life of me, I never could find out afterwards.
A very agreeable dinner, with plenty of cool beer, and "cups" of various descriptions, and a fide round the city, with a visit to the grotto of Camoens, caused the evening to pass pleasantly enough. The kindness and hospitality of the great English houses in China is unbounded. Travellers bring in their luggage, and become squatters" in the establishment for as long as it suits them, coming and going as they please. It was my good fortune that evening to meet Mr. Osmond Cleverley, as Captain Castella had presaged. He alone escaped from the terrible massacre on board the Queen, the year before loat and as we sat on the balcony overlooking the bay, whilst our younger fiends shot clay pellets at the dogs and tanka girls along shore, shore, he gave me the following particulars :-
He left Hongkong one fine morning in February, 1857, in the Queen-as I had left in the Fri-mas-with a mixed crew and passengers, English, Portuguese, and Chinese-the latter predaminatlug.

All the Europeans on board the Queen were murdered, and the ship was burnt. The whole plan was conceived and carried out by that fiendish miscreant Yeh-another link in the chain of his hideous crueltics. Mr. Cleverley declared that if a couple of men had stood by him he could have recaptured the boat.
As this narrative was finished, the sun went down. A band was playing on the Praya; the inhabitants were turning out in their best the cool evening, that is, costumes for a walk cool by comparison, for the thermometer was still at 90 and A-moon, A.tye, A-miu, and the tacka sisterhood, were burning coloured paper and beating gongs until the next steamer
