bay, and with regrets we waved our last good-byes as we
sailed out from under her protection. she had been a home
to us and seemed like a part of our own dear country.

back again to her as a refuge. we remained in shanghai
eight days, but were only in the foreign concession. this
concession is a modification of both the far east and the

takes labor and support from their poor coolie classes. 3
