One of the many curious features of life in China is the existence of a body of people, probably for exceeding a quarter of a million, who pass the whole of their existence upon the Pearl River and its creeks and tributaries. |
| Last Sentence: |
Indeed, it is not unusual to see a grand-mother, mother and two or three daughters all laboring at the oars in the hot sun, while the lord and master squats curled up gracefully on the mat, sucking his pipe with that air of stolid philosophic beatitude peculiar to the Celestial when he has attained his ideal state of earthly happiness. |
