B. punctata Petrunkevitch, 1925 Fuentes punctatus Banks, 1929

I place this species in the genus Breda on the basis of the structure of the male palps and the epigynum, the reduction of leg spines, the single simple tooth on the retromargin of the fang groove, the features of the carapace, and the placement of the eyes. Mr. Banks (29) had one female from Las Sabanas, R. P., July, 1924, but the species has not appeared in my collection.

The Peckhams had mature females and an immature male. F. Cambridge gave a very good figure of the male palp but almost no description. Banks (’29) took a female and an immature male in the Canal Zone Biological Area, June, 1924. Since no detailed descriptions have ever been published I have considered it desirable to establish hypotypes of both sexes and give here careful descriptions of the same.

Male hypotype. Total length 10.88 mm. Carapace 4.35 mm. long, 3.39 mm. wide a short distance behind PLE which occupy two thirds of width of carapace at their level, 1.53 mm. tall at level of PLE and, therefore, less than one half as tall as wide; depressed in middle of cephalic region and also lateral to PLE, PME and ALE so that these eyes stand up on a tuberculated ridge; region just posterior to PLE also depressed medially; seen in profile, rises gently to PLE, then descends again very gently to steep posterior declivity (Fig. 28); very hairy, with many long black bristles around eyes of which four groups seem to be most characteristic; a group of these consisting of five lies at some distance below PME, the other group of three lies behind and

Color in alcohol. Color of palps already noted except the reddish brown tarsi. Chelicerae reddish brown with white hairs and scales as already noted. Lip and maxillae light brownish with yellowish tips. Sternum and coxae light brownish, dusted with gray. Legs: generally reddish brown with modifications by dark streaks, black hair, irides- cence, and difference in shading; segments bearing heavy black fringes generally dark rich and waxy in appearance; tarsi generally lighter; white scales as noted on coxae and a few other places, perhaps in life nearly all segments carry a few of these, loosely arranged. Carapace: clypeus as noted; white spots and stripes essentially as described in female; lateral stripes begin in the male opposite first coxae; grayish yellow scales described in female as covering main part of head seem mostly rubbed off in these males. Abdominal pattern very close to that of female.

Note. When epigynum is dissected and viewed from inner surface it has appearance shown in Fig. 138.

Type locality. Male allotype and a male paratype from Chilibre, C. Z., July, 1939. Male paratypes and several females from the fol- lowing localities: Gamboa, C. Z., Aug., 1939; Madden Dam region and C. Z. Forest Reserve, C. Z., July—Aug., 1939.

CoRYTHALIA SERRAPOPHYSIS (Chamberlin and Ivie) 1936 Figures 139-142 Freya serrapophysis Chamb. and Ivie, 1936 The correct position for this species is very much in doubt. It is plainly not a Freya, while several of its features seem to ally it to Corythalia. I believe it to be somewhat aberrant like C. sulphurea

and, as in the case of that species, it seems best to place it tentatively in the genus Corythalia pending a better understanding of its natural

legs yellowish with a few dorsal and lateral reddish brown spots, most marked on first pair of legs. Abdomen: generally yellowish white with reddish brown markings; dorsal area with a complicated pattern re- sembling somewhat the pattern represented by F. Cambridge for M. variegatus and M. expallidatus, difficult to describe accurately; lateral sides spotted with reddish brown, and on each side an oblique speckled reddish brown bar occurs in posterior third; venter with a broad, rectangular, central, deep reddish brown stripe from genital groove to tracheal spiracle, united laterally with oblique bar.

Type locality. Female holotype from El Valle, R. P., July, 1936. One paratype female from Boquete, R. P., July, 1939.

BEATA STRIATA Petrunkevitch, 1925

Professor Petrunkevitch had one female from Cerro Iglesia, R. P. I have had the privilege of examining the type in the collection of Pro- fessor Petrunkevitch, but the species has not yet appeared in my col- lection.

B. variegata Petrunkevitch, 1911

B. variegata Petrunkevitch, 1925

As pointed out in an earlier place, this species has been retained in the genus Beata with some hesitation. In the males in my collection the single retromarginal tooth on the fang groove is quite distinctly unidentate. In some females the tooth is fissidentate while in others it would be called unidentate. The species appears to be one in which the teeth are in an intermediate condition between the two types. At one time in the course of the study of this family I selected a female which showed the fissidentate condition in a fairly satisfactory way and intended to describe it as a new species. I am now satisfied that the specimen belongs to this species and I, therefore, am using it as a hypotype of which I give the following description:

Female hypotype. Total length 5.12 mm. Carapace 2.50 mm. long, 1.98 mm. wide a short distance behind PLE which occupy twenty-six thirty-firsts of the width of the carapace at that level, 1.22 mm. tall and, therefore, .61 as tall as wide; only slightly depressed from PLE to posterior steep declivity which begins about six thirteenths of the dis-

432 Saséngkédan, a diagonal piece of wood in carpentry. A prop set diagonally in a post to support a horizontal beam. See Sengkéd.

Sasuganan, to try your luck. Per adventure. Nothing like trying. Sat, Arabic, essence, substance; person, sect, caste. Zat, MARSDEN 140. Satak, two hundred; the number 200. Satak in ancient method of counting Chinese cash, is equal to eight Dutch doits of the present time, or as the Sunda people call that amount Sa-wang. At the present time these Chinese cash are still in use on Bali and Lombok, and Satak there now-a-days means a string of 200 Pichis, which is of the value of one guilder copper money. Singapore Journal, 1851, vol. 5, page 460. At pages 86/87 of the work „Het eiland Bali en de Balinezen, door den Hoogleeraar LAUTS—1848“ we learn that the traders on Bali speak of Atak, Bungkus, and Pĕku to designate different quantities of Chinese pichis or cash. These cash and Spanish Dollars are the only kinds of money met with on Bali. The cash are still imported from China and yield a good profit to the trader. 200 pichis are considered as having the value of one guilder silver. The Spanish dollar varies in value from 600 to 700 pichis. 200 pichis are strung together on a rope and are called Sa-atak; five such ropes, with their ends tied together, and thus containing 1000 pichis, form Sa-bungkus, or one bundle. Fifty ataks or 10,000 pichis put up in a bag make Sa-pĕku. Thus Sa-atak is equal to one guilder silver, Sa-bungkus to five guilders, and Sa-pĕku to fifty guilders silver. Considerable discrepancy thus exists between the values attributed on the present Bali, and in ancient Sunda to these designations. The ancient Sunda satak being said to amount to only eight Dutch doits, whereas the present Satak on Bali has the value of one guilder silver, and thus at least 120 Dutch doits. Perhaps the rude Sunda people in early times, before they got the Chinese pichis, counted with small stones or pebbles, which Mas also implies (see Mas in voce), as some rude Indians count with cowry shells. The Chinese metal cash, base as it is , may thus have been an innovation, in the course of the progress of trade, in which we know that the Chinese largely participated. That the people of the Archipelago formerly counted with stones may almost be inferred from One in Malay being expressed by Satu or Sa-watu, one stone, and in Sunda by Sahiji or Siji, one seed. Saténg, one half, appears to be the short for Sa-téngah. Sa-wang saténg, a wang and one half = 12 doits.

Saténg'ah, half, one half. Gĕus saténgah béak, it is half done.

Satia, is the burning of a wife on Bali, who, from a stage constructed for the purpose, throws herself into the fire where her husband's body is being burnt, after she has krissed herself. Satia is truth, faithfulness; the wife who dies in this way, is called Satia Wati, true and faithful, who has responded to all her duty towards her husband. FRIEDERICH, Bat. Trans., vol. 23, page 10. This is probably the same word which has become in Sunda Sacha, which see, and is derived from Satya, C. 699,

Sagara, the sea, the ocean. Sagara, C. 694, the ocean.

Sagi, see Pěrsagi.

Sagu, sago. The esculent or granulated pith of some palms. On Sumatra it is made from the Sumbiya palm, which is probably our Kirai. The Sunda people make it from both the Kirai and Kawung palms, but only for food when paddy fails them. Clough gives Sagu for sago, and calls it Portuguese in his 2 vol. voce Sago, but does not repeat the word in the Singhalese and English volume, where we, however, find Saguna, C. 694, from Saha, with, Guna, a part, twofold, double; but Guna is also: valuable, useful, and Sagu may be a contraction of Saguna, what is valuable the useful substance, which the Hindus might apply to the to them new commodity when they first visited the isles.

Sah, Arabic, proved, approved, authentic; effective, valid, admissible. A term used in adjusting matters according to Mahomedan law. Saksi na hanto sah, the witness is not admissible.

Sah, Persian, a king. The king at chess. Sabandar, the king of the trading port; the collector of customs.

Saha, who, which individual. This word would appear also to be Sanscrit. Saha, C. 721, a particle and prefix signifying union, association, with, together; also presence, present time. This word reduced to the more simple form of Sa means One, and it will be seen that it is used extensively in composition where it is the initial syllable and then mostly means: with, possessing, having, along with. Sapa and Siapa, who, in Malay, are supposed to be derived from Sinapa, to be enquired after. Saha nu daik, who will be willing. Saha nu méré, who gave it.

Sahadat, Arabic, profession of faith, confession, testimony. Sahadat Slam, the Mahomedan profession of faith.

Sahagi, name of a liane with a sweet flower. Gouania Mauritiana.

Sahěutik, a little, a trifle. Sa, see voce. Hěutik appears to be a modification of Lěutik, little. Ménta sahěutik, I ask for a little.

Sahid or Said, Arabic, a martyr. A common name for a man. Many Arabs on Java have this prefix to their names.

Sahid, a small bambu basket, much carried by women under the arm and fast to the scarf round the neck and shoulders.

Sahiji, one. Sa, one. Hiji is evidently the Malay Biji, a seed, which is the Sanscrit Bija or Bijaya, C. 474, an egg; seed of plants; semen virile; the germ of anything. From this we might expect to find Sahiji or Siji as Malay, but that

Satus, a hundred; the number 100. More usually called Sa-ratus. The word may be compounded of Sa, one; Tus, the short for tutus, a slip of bambu string; as even to this day a native, when counting, will take a slip of bambu string, and for every ten make a break in it, and ten such breaks being an even hundred, may have been called Satus or Sa tutus, a string (as above described).

Satus, in ancient method of counting Chinese cash, is equal to four Dutch doits of present time. See Satak.

Sauhĕn, a variety of rough wild grass, of which the stems are eaten, being succulent. Panicum Palmaefolium.

Sauk, a piece of matting or bagging made of coarse materials, in which are put the materials, to be subjected to pressure in the Kampahan, or native oil press.

416 is not the case, though in Malay, the name for the Sunda is Watu, Sesamum Indicum, a plant from the seeds of which an oil is made, is called Wijén, which is Wiji-an = Wijén; and Biji alone is, a seed. Hiji or Biji for seed is not used in Sunda, and it is strange how they should have adopted a word of Sanscritic origin from the Malays, who do not use it in the peculiar ordinary sense of enumeration, though Sa biji or Satu biji is current there, alluding to any small bodies or seeds.

Sai-itan, di Saiītan, to reset a trap which has got out of order; which has sprung up like a Bachang and not caught anything.

The Turub saji is generally painted red, and answers to our dish-cover. It is probably derived from sajja, C. 695, prepared, got ready; adorned, ornamented; or sajjita, C. 695, armed, accoutered; dressed, decorated, ornamented. And in Malay,, 157, is: to prepare or serve up (victuals). In : to prepare and lay out an entertainment.

434 position. The word Wah is heard in Sunda in the word Wahangan, the bed of a river, any large water way or ravine. Sawah, means thus literally, by means of inundation.

Sawajar, usual, according to custom. Lain sawajar, not as usual, out of the common. This is a favourite expression of admiration. Sawajar bai, really, truly; according to usual habit. Bala sawajar, that is monstrous; I w'ont put up with it.

Sawal, the tenth Mohamedan month. During the first few days of this month devout Mohamedans also continue the fast of Ramalan, thereby hoping to make up for their shortcomings in the previous Puasa month.

Sawala, the sea slug or tripang of commerce, when alive in the sea. When dried for market, it is called Tripang. Holothurion.

Sawan, fits, convulsions. A fit of apoplexy. In a trance; apparently dead. Sawa. C. 720, a dead body, a corpse. Sawa-an = Sawan, become like a corpse. Sa-wang, eight Dutch doits. See Sabaru.

Sawéla-chala, a character in old Javanese history, who appears to have flourished in the beginning of the seventh century. He came with colonists from the continent of India, and founded the empire of Mĕndang Kamulan. The derivation of this name must evidently be sought in Sanscrit, and is the subject of much uncertainty. Saw, C. 720, the Elu form of Sarwa, all, also a scholar, from Srawaka, C. 779, from Srae, to hear religious discourses, and Ka affinitive. A pupilor follower of Buddha, a Buddhist. Wéla, C. 699, land sown with grain; a field, a farm. Wél C. 669, the sea shore, the beach, a field, cultivated land. Achalā, C. 804, the earth. Thus Saw-wéla-achala = Sawél-achala, Buddhist fields or country, or a country where the Buddhist were occupying themselves with cultivation, or had settled. In some accounts, the father of Sawéla-Chala is named Balia-Achar; and previous to the establishment of Mĕndang Kamulan, Sawéla-Chala himself is usually known by the name of Awap, RAFFLES, vol. 2, pages 82—84. This father of Sawéla-Chala was Balia-Achar. Bali and Baliya, C. 463/4, propitiatory offerings, religious gifts, or sacrifice, the whole system of sideral worship, or the adoration of the heavenly bodies as practised in Ceylon.

“If course not, old fellow. Leave it to the girls. See how knowing Lettie looks—and, laws, Lettie, you are solemn.”

“It’s love,” suggested George, over his new neck-tie.

“I’ll bet it is ‘degustasse sat est’— ain’t it, Lettie? ‘One lick’s enough’—‘and damned be he that first cries: Hold, enough!’— Which one do you like? But are you going to take us to church, Georgie, darling—one by one, or all at once?”

“What do you want me to do, Meg?” he asked.

“Oh, I don’t mind.”

“And do you mind, Lettie?”

“I’m not going to church.”

“Let’s go a walk somewhere—and let us start now,” said Emily somewhat testily. She did not like this nonsense.

“There you are Syb—you’ve got your orders—don’t leave me behind,” wailed Alice.

Emily frowned and bit her finger.

“Come on, Georgie. You look like the finger of a pair scales—between two weights. Which’ll draw?”

“The heavier,” he replied, smiling, and looking neither at Meg or Lettie.

“Then it’s Meg,” cried Alice. “Oh, I wish I was fleshy—I’ve no chance with Syb against Pem.”

Emily flashed looks of rage; Meg blushed and felt ashamed; Lettie began to recover from her first outraged indignation, and smiled.

Thus we went a walk, in two trios.

Unfortunately, as the evening was so fine, the

Rh roads were full of strollers: groups of three or four men dressed in pale trousers and shiny black cloth coats, following their suspicious little dogs: gangs of youths slouching along, occupied with nothing, often silent, talking now and then in raucous tones on some subject of brief interest: then the gallant husbands, in their tail coats very husbandly, pushing a jingling perambulator, admonished by a much dressed spouse round whom the small members of the family gyrated: occasionally, two lovers walking with a space between them, disowning each other; occasionally, a smartly dressed mother with two little girls in white silk frocks and much expanse of yellow hair, stepping mincingly, and, near by, a father awkwardly controlling his Sunday suit.

To endure all this it was necessary to chatter unconcernedly. George had to keep up the conversation behind, and he seemed to do it with ease, discoursing on the lambs, discussing the breed—when Meg exclaimed:

“Oh, aren’t they black! They might ha’ crept down th’ chimney. I never saw any like them before.” He described how he had reared two on the bottle, exciting Meg’s keen admiration by his mothering of the lambs. Then he went on to the peewits, harping on the same string: how they would cry and pretend to be wounded—“Just fancy, though!”—and how he had moved the eggs of one pair while he was ploughing, and the mother had followed them, and had even sat watching as he drew near again with the plough, watching him come and go—“Well, she knew you—but they do know those who are kind to them——” 18

274 “Yes,” he agreed, “her little bright eyes seem to speak as you go by.”

“Oh, I do think they’re nice little things—don’t you, Lettie?” cried Meg in access of tenderness.

Lettie did—with brevity.

We walked over the hills and down into Greymede. Meg thought she ought to go home to her grandmother, and George bade her go, saying he would call and see her in an hour or so.

The dear girl was disappointed, but she went unmurmuring. We left Alice with a friend, and hurried home through Selsby to escape the after-church parade.

As you walk home past Selsby, the pit stands up against the west, with beautiful tapering chimneys marked in black against the swim of sunset, and the head-stocks etched with tall significance on the brightness. Then the houses are squat in rows of shadow at the foot of these high monuments.

“Do you know, Cyril,” said Emily, “I have meant to go and see Mrs. Annable—the keeper’s wife—she’s moved into Bonsart’s Row, and the children come to school—Oh, it’s awful!—they’ve never been to school, and they are unspeakable.”

“What’s she gone there for?” I asked.

“I suppose the squire wanted the Kennels—and she chose it herself. But the way they live—it’s fearful to think of!”

“And why haven’t you been?”

“Pah—let’s go now!—There, you hang back.”

“No I don’t,” she replied sharply.

“Come on then, we’ll go through the twitchel. Let me tell Lettie.”

Lettie at once declared “No!”—with some asperity.

“All right,” said George. “I’ll take you home.” But this suited Lettie still less.

“I don’t know what you want to go for, Cyril,” she said, “and Sunday night, and, everybody everywhere. I want to go home.”

“Well—you go then—Emily will come with you.”

“Ha,” cried the latter, “you think I won’t go to see her.”

I shrugged my shoulders, and George pulled his moustache.

“Well, I don’t care,” declared Lettie, and we marched down the twitchel, Indian file.

We came near to the ugly rows of houses that back up against the pit-hill. Everywhere is black and sooty: the houses are back to back, having only one entrance, which is from a square garden where black-speckled weeds grow sulkily, and which looks on to a row of evil little ash-pit huts. The road everywhere is trodden over with a crust of soot and coal-dust and cinders.

Between the rows, however, was a crowd of women and children, bare heads, bare arms, white aprons, and black Sunday frocks bristling with gimp. One or two men squatted on their heels with their backs against a wall, laughing. The women were waving

Rh ceptor. As Buddhist priests may not marry or have children, probably this Bali-Achar was only a father in spiritual sense. If the above ideas are correct, the country must have been called Saw-wél-achala, and the name have then been transferred to the leader who conducted the immigration.

 T Ichang, a thousand miles from Shanghai, I met the West, modern comforts, bad manners, and all. Situated at the eastern end of the gorges, this town of thirty thousand Chinese inhabitants and a handful of Europeans is just where all the merchandise going upstream must be shifted from the light-draft steamers of the lower Yangtse to the native junks of forty to a hundred tons which are still the only freight boats that venture regularly through the rapids and whirlpools of the upper waters of the Great River. So the water front of Ichang is a busy scene at all times, and in the winter season the boats are packed together sardine fashion. When the railway is put through, all the river traffic will cease, but Ichang proposes to control the new route as it has the old, and already an imposing station has been completed, even though only a few miles of iron rail have been laid down.

I shifted my belongings directly from the wu-pan to the Kweilu, a Butterfield & Swire boat leaving the same evening. It was very comfortable, although crowded, as everything seems to be in China. Ichang stands at the extreme eastern edge of the tangle of

 mountains that stretch across Szechuan to the Tibetan plateau, and just below this point the scenery changes, the hills dwindle, and the valley opens into the wide flat plains of the lower Yangtse. It is a merciful arrangement, allowing the eyes and brain a chance to recover their tone after the strain of trying to take in the wonders of the gorges, and I was glad for the open, vacant land, thankful that there was nothing to look at.

The second morning in the early dawn we moored off Hankow, where I planned to stay a day or two before turning northward. Hankow, Hanyang, Wuchang, these three cities lie at the junction of the Han and the Yangtse, having, all told, a population of some two millions. Located on the Yangtse, at the mouth of the Han, one of the great waterways of China, halfway between Shanghai and Ichang, and a little more than halfway from Peking to Canton, and at present the terminus of the Peking railway, which in good time will be extended to Canton, the future of these cities is assured. Each of the three has some special claim to preëminence, but the greatest of them is Hankow. Hanyang's chimneys are preparing to rival those of Bombay, and it boasts the largest ironworks in China. Wuchang is the provincial capital, and the seat of the viceroy or governor, as it happens, and its mint and arsenal are the most important in the south, while Hankow is the trading centre,

Emily and Lettie drew back.

“Look there—it’s that little beggar, Sam!” said George.

There, sure enough, perched on the ridge of the roof against the end chimney, was the young imp, coatless, his shirt-sleeves torn away from the cuffs. I knew his bright, reddish young head in a moment. He got up, his bare toes clinging to the tiles, and spread out his fingers fanwise from his nose, shouting something, which immediately caused the crowd to toss with indignation, and the women to shriek again. Sam sat down suddenly, having almost lost his balance.

The village constable hurried up, his thin neck stretching out of his tunic, and demanded the cause of the hubbub.

Immediately a woman with bright brown squinting eyes, and a birthmark on her cheek, rushed forward and seized the policeman by the sleeve.

“Ta’e ’im up, ta’e ’im up, an’ birch ’im till ’is bloody back’s raw,” she screamed.

The thin policeman shook her off, and wanted to know what was the matter.

“I’ll smosh ’im like a rotten tater,” cried the woman, “if I can lay ’ands on ’im. ’E’s not fit ter live nowhere where there’s decent folks—the thievin’, brazen little devil——” thus she went on.

“But what’s up!” interrupted the thin constable, “what’s up wi’ ’im?”

“Up—it’s ’im as ’is up, an’ let ’im wait till I get ’im down. A crafty little——”

 and the headquarters of the great banking and shipping concerns.

When I was there in early July of last year I noticed only the look of substantial prosperity about the place, and the comfortable bustle and stir in the streets. Chinese and Europeans alike seemed intent on making money, pound-wise or cash-wise. The one matter of concern was the high water in the river, here nearly a mile wide. Already it was almost up to the top of the "bund"; a few inches more and it would flood the lowland, destroying life and property, and stopping all business. There were no outward signs of commotion underneath, but in about three months the viceroy's yamen was in flames, shops and offices were looted, and the mint and arsenal in the hands of the Revolutionary party. One stroke had put it in possession of a large amount of treasure, military stores, and a commanding position.

I planned to stay in Hankow just long enough to pack a box for England, and efface a few of the scars of inland travel before confronting whatever society might be found in Peking in midsummer, but rather to my dismay I found the weekly express train left the day after my arrival. It was out of the question to take that, and apparently I would have to wait over a week unless I dared try the ordinary train that ran daily, stopping two nights on the road. But there seemed many lions in the way. It would be quite

Rh Sam, seeing her look at him, distorted his honest features, and overheated her wrath, till Lettie and Emily trembled with dismay.

The mother’s head appeared at the bedroom window. She slid the sash back, and craned out, vainly trying to look over the gutter below the slates. She was even more dishevelled than usual, and the tears had dried on her pale face. She stretched further out, clinging to the window frame and to the gutter overhead, till I was afraid she would come down with a crash.

The men, squatting on their heels against the wall of the ashpit, laughed, saying:

“Nab ’im. Poll—can ter see ’m—clawk ’im!” and then the pitiful voice of the woman was heard crying: “Come thy ways down, my duckie, come on—on’y come ter thy mother—they shanna touch thee. Du thy mother’s biddin’, now—Sam—Sam—Sam!” her voice rose higher and higher.

“Sammy, Sammy, go to thy mammy,” jeered the wits below.

“Shonna ter come, Shonna ter come to thy mother, my duckie—come on, come thy ways down.”

Sam looked at the crowd, and at the eaves from under which rose his mother’s voice. He was going to cry. A big gaunt woman, with the family steel comb stuck in her back hair, shouted, “Tha’ mun well bend thy face, tha’ needs ter scraight,” and aided by the woman with the birthmark and the squint, she reviled him. The little scoundrel, in a burst of defiance, picked a piece of mortar from between the slates, and in a second it flew into fragments against the family steel comb. The wearer

 to go by this train unless I could take all my things into the carriage with me; nothing was safe in the luggage van. It would be a long and tedious journey, and I could get nothing to eat on the way, and of course it would be impossible to put up at Chinese inns at night. But face the Eastern lions and they generally turn to kittens. Travelling by way trains had no terrors for me, it would give me a chance to see the country, and it was for that I had come to China, and I knew I could manage about my things; but the Chinese inn was something of a difficulty, as I was leaving interpreter and cook in Hankow. I jumped into a rickshaw and by good luck found the genial superintendent, M. Didier, at the station. Mais oui, I might stop in the train at night; mais oui, the little dog could be with me; mais oui, I could certainly manage a trunk in my compartment. And he did even better than his word, wiring ahead to the nights' stopping-places, Chu-ma-tien and Chang-te-ho, and when the train pulled in at each place, I was charmingly welcomed by the division superintendent with an invitation from his wife to put up with them; and so instead of two nights in the stuffy sleeping-compartment of the express train, I had two enjoyable evenings in French homes, and long nights in a real bed. It was indeed a bit of France that these delightful Frenchwomen had created in the plain of Central China; books and journals, dogs

438 Sélan, Ceylon. Same as Seilan.

Sĕlang, an interval of repose. An interval, a space between. To change a person. To give one person in the place of another. Ari sĕlang kudu di boro, when we have a little repose (or time) we will go.

Sĕlangan, to alternate with, to change with something else. Di sĕlangan nyachar, he alternates it with cutting down jungle, he cuts jungle but has also some other occupation.

Sĕlang-sĕlang, alternately, at intervals, now and then. With spaces between.

Sĕlang-sĕling, alternate, every other; missing one.

Sĕlap, Sĕlapan, Sĕlapkĕn, to insert, to stick in between. To interpose.

Sĕla-sĕla na, at the interstices, at the intervals. Bayar na to datang ka kami, ragrag di sĕla-sĕla na bai, the payment does not reach us, it drops into the interstices (the headmen steal it).

Sĕlasi, the herb sweet basil, Ocymum Basilicum of the family of Labiatae. This is much used for planting about, or when gathered to lay upon the graves of relatives or friends, and is very likely the remnant of a very innocent Hindu institution, evincing affection for those who have gone hence. At the end of the Puasa or fasting month, the graves are cleaned, and Sĕlasi laid upon them. Sĕlasi is a corruption of Tulasi, C. 239, a small herb held in high veneration by the Hindus; the Holy Basil, Ocymum Sanctissimum.

Sĕlĕpa, a small metal box, mostly of brass, for holding the ingredients for chewing Sĕurĕuh, carried about the person. This word sounds Sanscritic. May it be from Sālapa, C. 851, from Saha, with, Alapa, a word, conversation; as natives never enter into conversation without producing the Sĕurĕuh box, and in this way the Sanscrit word with them has got a conventional use and meaning.

Sélér, a shoot, a runner, an offset of any vegetable, herb or plant. Offspring, progeny.Sélér Pajajaran, a descendant, or the offspring of Pajajaran.

Sĕling, each other. Sĕling nĕwĕk, to stab each other. Sĕling numbuk, to thump at each other. Sĕling pĕudĕm, to fling each other into the earth or sea, as the wonderful men of old did.

278 thereof declared her head was laid open and there was general confusion. The policeman—I don’t know how thin he must have been when he was taken out of his uniform—lost his head, and he too began brandishing his fists, spitting from under his sweep’s-brush moustache as he commanded in tones of authority:

“Now then, no more on it—let’s ’a’e thee down here, an’ no more messin’ about!”

The boy tried to creep over the ridge of the roof and escape down the other side. Immediately the brats rushed round yelling to the other side of the row, and pieces of red-burnt gravel began to fly over the roof. Sam crouched against the chimney.

“Got ’im!” yelled one little devil. “Got ’im! Hi—go again!”

A shower of stones came down, scattering the women and the policeman. The mother rushed from the house and made a wild onslaught on the throwers. She caught one, and flung him down. Immediately the rest turned and aimed their missiles at her. Then George and the policeman and I dashed after the young wretches, and the women ran to see what happened to their offspring. We caught two lads of fourteen or so, and made the policeman haul them after us. The rest fled.

When we returned to the field of battle, Sam had gone too.

“If ’e ’asna slived off!” cried the woman with a squint. “But I’ll see him locked up for this.”

At this moment a band of missioners from one of the chapels or churches arrived at the end of the row, and the little harmonium began to bray, and the

 and wines from home, and French dishes skilfully prepared by Chinese hands. But the houses where they lived opened out of the strongly walled station enclosure; it would not take long to put it in condition to stand a siege. No one in China forgets the days of 1900.

The train was of the comfortable corridor sort. Most of the time I was the only European, and the only person in the first class, but the second and especially the third were crowded full, although the passengers did not seem about to flow out of the windows, feet foremost, as so often on an Indian railway. The Chinese is beset by many fears, superstitious fears or real mundane ones, but he has the wit to know a good thing when he sees it, and it does not take him long to overcome any pet fear that stands in the way of possessing it. In 1870 the first Chinese railway was built by the great shipowners of the East, Jardine, Mattheson & Co. It was only twelve miles long, connecting Shanghai with Woosung. At first there was no trouble, then certain native interests, fearing the competition, stirred up the people by the usual methods, finally clinching the opposition by a suicide (hired) under a train; so in the end the Government bought out the English firm and dismantled the railway. That was forty years ago, and to-day all that stands in the way of gridironing China with iron highways is the lack of home capital

Rh place vibrated with the sound of a woman’s powerful voice, propped round by several others, singing:

“At ’even ’ere the sun was set——”

Everybody hurried towards the new noise, save the policeman with his captives, the woman with the squint, and the woman with the family comb. I told the limb of the law he’d better get rid of the two boys and find out what mischief the others were after.

Then I enquired of the woman with the squint what was the matter.

“Thirty-seven young uns ’an we ’ad from that doe, an’ there’s no knowin’ ’ow many more, if they ’adn’t a-gone an’ ate-n ’er,” she replied, lapsing, now her fury was spent, into sullen resentment.

“An’ niver a word should we a’ known,” added the family-comb-bearer, “but for that blessed cat of ourn, as scrat it up.”

“Indeed,” said I, “the rabbit?”

“No, there were nöwt left but th’ skin—they’d seen ter that, a thieving, dirt-eatin’ lot.”

“When was that?” said I.

“This mortal night—an’ there was th’ head an’ th’ back in th’ dirty stewpot—I can show you this instant—I’ve got ’em in our pantry for a proof, ’aven’t I, Martha?”

“A fat lot o’ good it is—but I’ll rip th’ neck out of ’im, if ever I lay ’ands on ’im.”

At last I made out that Samuel had stolen a large, lop-eared doe out of a hutch in the coal-house of the squint-eyed lady, had skinned it, buried the skin, and offered his booty to his mother as a wild rabbit, trapped. The doe had been the chief item of the

 and the perfectly reasonable fear of foreign loans. The Chinese want railways, and they want to build them themselves, but they have not got the money, and for the moment they prefer to go without rather than put themselves in the power of European capitalists and European governments. And who can blame them?

The Six Power Railway Loan of 1908 proved the undoing of the Manchus, and the inevitable sequence, the appointing of European and American engineers,—to the American was assigned the important section between Ichang and Chengtu,—was bringing matters to a head before I left China. The Changsha outbreak in the early summer was directed against the Government's railway policy, represented for the moment in the newly appointed Director of Communications, the Manchu Tuan Fang, who visited the United States in 1906 as a member of the Imperial Commission. Many will remember the courteous old man, perhaps the most progressive of all the Manchu leaders. I had hoped to meet him in China, but on inquiring his whereabouts when in Shanghai I was told that he had been degraded from his post as Viceroy of Nanking and was living in retirement. A few weeks later the papers were full of his new appointment, extolling his patriotism in accepting an office inferior to the one from which he had been removed. But delays followed, and when the rioting

280 Annables’ Sunday dinner—albeit a portion was unluckily saved till Monday, providing undeniable proof of the theft. The owner of the rabbit had supposed the creature to have escaped. This peaceful supposition had been destroyed by the comb-bearer’s seeing her cat, scratching in the Annables garden, unearth the white and brown doe-skin, after which the trouble had begun.

The squint-eyed woman was not so hard to manage. I talked to her as if she were some male friend of mine, only appealing to her womanliness with all the soft sadness I could press into the tones of my voice. In the end she was mollified, and even tender and motherly in her feelings toward the unfortunate family. I left on her dresser the half-crown I shrank from offering her, and, having reduced the comb-wearer also, I marched off, carrying the stewpot and the fragments of the ill-fated doe to the cottage of the widow, where George and the girls awaited me.

The house was in a woeful state. In the rocking chair, beside the high guard that surrounded the hearth, sat the mother, rocking, looking sadly shaken now her excitement was over. Lettie was nursing the little baby, and Emily the next child. George was smoking his pipe and trying to look natural. The little kitchen was crowded—there was no room—there was not even a place on the table for the stew-jar, so I gathered together cups and mugs containing tea sops, and set down the vessel of ignominy on the much slopped tea-cloth. The four little children were striped and patched with tears—at my entrance one under the table recommenced to weep,

 occurred in Changsha he had not yet arrived at headquarters in Hankow. It was said openly that he was afraid. On my way north the train drew up one evening on a siding, and when I asked the reason I was told a special train was going south bearing His Excellency Tuan Fang to his post. He had just come from a conference at Chang-te-ho with Yuan Shih Kai, who was living there in retirement nursing his "gouty leg." If only one could have heard that last talk between the two great supporters of a falling dynasty.

And one went on his way south to take up the impossible task of stemming the tide of revolution, and before four months were past he was dead, struck down and beheaded by his own soldiers in a little Szechuan town, while the other, biding his time, stands to-day at the head of the new Republic of the East.

The Lu-Han railway, as the Peking-Hankow line is called, crosses three provinces, Hupeh, Honan, and Chihli. Save for low hills on the Hupeh frontier, it runs the whole way through a flat, featureless country, cultivated by hand, almost every square foot of it. Seven hundred miles of rice- and millet-fields and vegetable gardens unbroken by wall or hedge; nothing to cast a shadow on the dead level except an occasional walled town or temple grove! And the horrible land was all alive with

Rh so I gave him my pencil which pushed in and out, but which pushes in and out no more.

The sight of the stewpot affected the mother afresh. She wept again, crying:

“An’ I niver thought as ’ow it were aught but a snared un; as if I should set ’im on ter thieve their old doe; an’ tough it was an’ all; an’ ’im a thief, an me called all the names they could lay their tongues to: an’ then in my bit of a pantry, takin’ the very pots out: that stewpot as I brought all the way from Nottingham, an’ I’ve ’ad it afore our Minnie wor born——”

The baby, the little baby, then began to cry. The mother got up suddenly, and took it.

“Oh, come then, come then my pet. Why, why cos they shanna, no they shanna. Yes, he’s his mother’s least little lad, he is, a little un. Hush then, there, there—what’s a matter, my little?”

She hushed the baby, and herself. At length she asked:

“ ’As th’ p’liceman gone as well?”

“Yes—it’s all right,” I said.

She sighed deeply, and her look of weariness was painful to see.

“How old is your eldest?” I asked.

“Fanny—she’s fourteen. She’s out service at Websters. Then Jim, as is thirteen next month—let’s see, yes, it is next month—he’s gone to Flints—farming. They can’t do much—an’ I shan’t let ’em go into th’ pit, if I can help it. My husband always used to say they should never go in th’ pit.”

On the second day we reached the Hoang Ho, China's sorrow and the engineer's despair. The much-discussed bridge is two miles long, crossing the river on one hundred and seven spans. As the train moved at snail's pace there was plenty of time to take in the desolate scene, stretches of mudflats alternating with broad channels of swirling, turbid water; and, unlike the Yangtse, gay with all sorts of craft, the strong current of the Yellow River rolled along undisturbed by sweep or screw.

Once across the Hoang Ho and you enter the loess country, dear to the tiller of the soil, but the bane of the traveller, for the dust is often intolerable. But there was little change in scenery until toward noon of the following day, when the faint, broken outlines of hills appeared on the northern horizon. As we were delayed by a little accident it was getting dark when we rumbled along below the great wall of Peking into the noisy station alive with the clamour of rickshaw boys and hotel touts. In fifteen minutes I was in my comfortable quarters at the Hôtel des Wagons Lits, keen for the excitement of the first view of one of the world's great historic capitals.

Peking is set in the middle of the large plain that stretches one hundred miles from the Gulf of Pechihli to the Pass of Nankow. On the north it is flanked by

282 is, ter keep ’em all goin’. Wi’ weshin, an’ th’ parish pay, an’ five shillin’ from th’ squire—it’s ’ard. It was diff’rent when my husband was alive. It ought ter ’a been me as should ’a died—I don’t seem as if I can manage ’em—they get beyond me. I wish I was dead this minnit, an’ ’im ’ere. I can’t understand it: ’im as wor so capable, to be took, an’ me left. ’E wor a man in a thousand, ’e wor—full o’ management like a gentleman.

After a while we left, promising to go again, and to see after the safety of Sam.

It was quite dark, and the lamps were lighted in the houses. We could hear the throb of the fan-house engines, and the soft whirr of the fan.

“Isn’t it cruel?” said Emily, plaintively.

“Wasn’t the man a wretch to marry the woman like that,” added Lettie with decision.

“Speak of Lady Chrystabel,” said I, and then there was silence, “I suppose he did not know what he was doing, any more than the rest of us.”

“I thought you were going to your aunt’s—to the Ram Inn,” said Lettie to George when they came to the cross-roads.

 low hills, thus happily excluding all evil influences, but it is open to the good, that always come from the south. So from a Chinese point of view its location is entirely satisfactory, but a European might think it was dangerously near the frontier for the capital city of a great state. Years ago Gordon's advice to the Tsungli Yamen was, "Move your Queen Bee to Nanking." And just now the same thing is being said, only more peremptorily, by some of the Chinese themselves. But for the moment lack of money and fear of Southern influences have carried the day against any military advantage, and the capital remains where it is. Perhaps the outsider may be permitted to say she is glad, for Nanking could never hope to rival the Northern city in charm and interest.

The most wonderful thing in Peking is the wall. That is what first holds your attention, and you never for a moment forget it. There it stands, aloof and remote, dominating the city it was set to defend, but not a part of it. Huge, massive, simple, it has nothing in common with the gaudy, over-ornamented, unrestful buildings of the Chinese, and as you enter its shadow you seem to have passed into a different world.

Often before breakfast I climbed to the top of the wall beyond the Water Gate for a run with Jack before the heat of the day set in. It was a glorious place for a morning walk. The wall is some forty

Sampéan or Sampéyan, used as a pronoun of the second person towards a person of high rank. Your highness, your lordship. Sampéan dalěm, his highness the regent.
