They pack their charcoal, rice, or other commodities, in long narrow baskets, which they sling on a pole carried on their shoulders, as we see the Chinese doing in the well known pictures on tea-chests. They are all Hindoos in religion, but are very fond of rice-whiskey. Although not so abstemious in this respect as the Hindoos of the plains, they are a much finer race both physically and morally.
So the garden tempted him. Finally, there was a room opening upon a laurel walk, which had at one time been a library. The shelves old, common, dirty and broken were still there, and on the most secure of them the housekeeper kept her cheese and candles, and an old shawl and bonnet. "'The place is made for us! I exclaimed on my return from discovering the old barrel and tea-chests.

A delay of a few hours would have placed the tea under the protection of the Admiral at the Castle. After the work was done, the town became as still and calm as if it had been holy time.
