When we grew thirsty the captain and myself resorted to our jug of distilled water. I had been warned against drinking the yellow, pea-soup-like water of the Pei-ho.... But one afternoon I found our water had run out. So I took the gourd used by the Chinese crew, and dipped up, as they did, the river water. The captain clutched me by the wrist. "Don't drink that water!
In the burden of corpses which the river Pei-ho carried downwards from Pekin towards the sea were to be seen the bodies of many Chinese girls and women. One day I myself counted five. There is no question whatever that they had committed suicide.
