Eine Reise in den Orient . auf dem Gelände, wo sie ihre Opfergaben trugen, die manchmal aus einem ganzen Schweinebraten und Bergen von rosafarbenen und weißen Kuchen bestanden. Am Nachmittag nahmen wir Rikschas mit und gingen zum christlichen Burying Ground, wo sowohl Chineseals auch ausländische Christen begraben wurden. Auf dem ganzen Weg kamen wir an Menschen vorbei, die in die Gräber gingen und kamen; aber als es spät war, kehrten die Leute schwerelig zurück und flatterten rote Papieren auf den oberen Seiten der Gräber, die wir passierten, deuteten an, dass die meisten Gräber angebetet worden waren. Der Weg war von Bettlern, von alten Menand Frauen bis hin zu übertonnert

The way was thronged with beggars, from old menand women down to little children. They ran afterour rickshaws, holding out their baskets and calling onus to give them money.
