Men with the requisite gifts exist in China; I might mention, as an example personally known to me, Dr. Hu Suh.
With ropes and axes Mohammed's followers tore the stone idols of Mecca from their pedestals and hewed them to pieces, while the Meccans sorrowfully beheld the destruction. And from that day to the present there has resounded over the city of Mecca five times each day the cry of "Allah Hu Akbar" God is great, and the rest of the ritual calling the people to prayer.
He persecuted the cook to make him up into pies a thing which the cook indignantly refused to do. For my part, I am by no means sure that a pumpkin pie a la Desoulieres would not have been very capital eating indeed!" "You astonish me!" said I; and I looked inquisitively at Monsieur Maillard. "Ha! ha! ha!" said that gentleman "he! he! he! hi! hi! hi! ho! ho! ho! hu! hu! hu! hu! very good indeed!
"In such a manner has it appeared to all Ching-fow," said Yang Hu; "and the justice of your death has been universally admitted. Even should this one fail there would be an innumerable company eager to take his place. Therefore, O Ping Siang, as the only favour which it is within this person's power to accord, select that which in your opinion is the most agreeable manner and weapon for your end."
Kaid laughed sourly, and clapped his hands for the slave. In a moment David and Nahoum were gone. "Nahoum, a Christian! Bismillah!" murmured Kaid scornfully, then fell to pondering darkly over the evil things he had heard. Meanwhile the Nubians in their glittering armour waited without in the blistering square. "Allah hu Achbar! Allah hu Achbar! Ashhadu an la illaha illalla!"
Towards the almond garden of Hiya's abode Yang Hu turned his footsteps upon leaving his cave, and standing there, concealed from all sides by the white and abundant flower-laden foliage, he uttered a sound which had long been an agreed signal between them. Presently a faint perfume of choo-lan spoke of her near approach, and without delay Hiya herself stood by his side.
"Oh, no, that isn't a riddle," the Soldier Captain explained. "A riddle is like a puzzle. For instance, I ask you what has four legs, and yet can't walk?" "Hu! Dey ain't nothin' whut has fo' legs an' can't walk!" declared Topsy. "Dat's silly! I's got only two legs, but I can walk when nobody looks at me. An' dat Noah's Ark Elephant, he's got fo' legs, an' he can walk.

Then he went off again into spasms. "Hu! Hu!" whooped Jim, subsiding. "Hu!" He rolled over on to his back, and lay silent. The others also became weakly silent. "What's amiss?" said Aaron Sisson, breaking this spell.
At each successive door of the Yamen the attendant stepped back and covered his face, so that he should by no chance perceive who had come upon so destructive a mission, the instant Yang Hu uttered the sign with which Tung Fel had provided him.
Let us remark in this connection that there are no aspirates pronounced in Hispaniola, as amongst the Latin peoples. In the first place, in all their words the aspirate produces the effect of a consonant, and is more prolonged than the consonant f, amongst us.
