I exDected the Suifu boat to be ready for me at 

 Kiating, but there v;as a bad slip-up and no boat had been 

 engaged. Ife had to take our loads to the home of the Jensens, 

 and try to hire a boat. The boatmen began to ask exorbitant 

 prices. 



July 19. The boatmen vrere so unreasonable in their 

 prices that I took the steamer to Suifu, The steamer turned 

 out to be cheaper by one half, and saved a day's travel for us, 

 excepting that for the shipment of mammal skins I will have to 

 pay extra freight charges . By taking the steamer I reach 

 Suifu today instead of tomorrovf afternoon. 



P.M. We reached Suifu just before dark with Suifu 

 old friends to help. ?ve got off the steamer and through 

 customs nicely. 



Dr. Tompkins entertained me at his home and helped 

 out in ma.ny ways. 



July 20. I got up early and v/ent to the steamer to 

 forward the specimens. The price charged was Teir^f reasonable. 

 Then I called on the I'^Iilitary official and the civil magistrate. 

 They received me very cordially and gave me additional pass- 

 ports. A rimner was appointed to escort us. Dr. Tompkins 

 appointed his business manager to help so we were able to 

 travel all afternoon, so we are a day faster than if v/e 

 started tomorrow. The magisti^te gave me some veiy fine tea 

 leaves. 



^ We started right after dinner and took a small boat 

 to Lon Guang, 



Ead to take two boats to Yoh Keo. Arrived after 

 dark. Went to the Yoh Keo Institute* to secure an escort.

^ c 2*^""^^^ Travelled through Sa Ho E (SA-HO-E) Hua 



TarrChiao"^, Eighty li. Had a soldier escort most of the ivay. 

 There is one place called Ba-Sr-O where robbers occasionally 

 appear. During the day it rained most of the time, so we 

 caught nothing. The rain became a doivnpour just before vie 

 reached our destination. Our bedding and clothing got wet. At 

 Hua Tan Chiao I met some old Chinese friends. I am in terri- 

 toi'y where I travelled and worked more or less for twenty 

 years, so I meet old friends in nearly every village. 



There are yellow monkeys a fev/ miles from this place.
