Half tho population lives In iboats. There aro streets ot boata.roadi ot boats, squares ot boats, court and alleys ot boats Hut tho native city I tho most bewildering be-wildering alght of all. Picture a mighty man of alley only six feet wide, Inclosed In-closed In gates, divided Into sections, crammed to repletion with shops, darkened dark-ened with algnboarda that, swinging up aloft, descend to the top of your head, filled to suffocation with a multitudinous multitudi-nous mob of people, all shouting, yelling, yell-ing, scrcu'mlug, and even then you have no Idea ot tho maddening effect of the streets ot Canton. There comes n time when.aften hours nnd hours, swung heru nnd there In a sedan chair, bewildered by tho color, dated by the ahoutlng, tbo curious coolies turuBt Ignomlnlously out of your path, the street so narrow that your chair block up the whole paiuago at every corner, this mass of humanity, human-ity, squalor, wealth, dirt, skinned rats and cola and dog and barbarism, has such an effect on the sense that It makes tho stranger Inclined to hut his eyes, hold his ears and scream out-rigat. out-rigat. Yes, old Canton I a barred and gated gat-ed elty. The foreigner la literally out-tldt out-tldt the wall. Kvory night this wonderful won-derful place, barrlcnted Into sections, pented.up Into fortified Incisures, Is locked up until morning, and woo betide be-tide tho foolish stranger who Is found aiJorlng a these fearsome pas-tsgis. pas-tsgis. It Is aa much aa hla life Is worth to be left behind In old Canton when th curfew boll has sounded and tho gates slammed. ' Tben Canton, Its shops and swarming swarm-ing masse, Is left to Its own dovlces. Then men In the bird cages up aloft look out afar to warn the Inhabitant against flro; the Cblneao policemen guud each barred section against robbery and murder, but not a single European found In old Canton after nlgblfall Indeed, except the tourist nnd pat-tenter, pat-tenter, I doubt It lbs resident of Canton Can-ton ever put his foot In tbo native city from one year to another. In Canton tbe native and tho foreigner, divided by Iron gate, aro as far apart aa If one waa In China and tbe other In London |
