If only one person undertook the journey, the expenses 

 would be lessened to the extent of ^100. The cost of stores 

 will naturally vary with the taste of the traveller. If he is 

 able to live mainly on the products of the country, as we did, 

 he will avoid the expense and bulk of quantities of tinned 

 and bottled foods. 



Generally speaking, ^?100 per month will amply cover all 

 expenses for a single sportsman after arrival at Shanghai. 

 This allows for many luxuries and comforts. An additional 

 per month will provide for another person.
