CHAPTER V.
THE JOURNEY FROM CHUNGKING TO SUIFU--CHINESE INNS.
I left the boat at Chungking and started on my land journey, going west 230 miles to Suifu.

I had with me two coolies to carry my things, the one who received the higher pay having also to bring me my food, make my bed, and pay away my copper cash.

They could not speak a single word of English.

They were to be paid for the journey one _4s.

10d._ and the other _5s.
