The venerable stranger from distant shores said a good deal to the other in what I suppose was the language used in China. It all sounded like "hung" and "li" and "chi," and then the other turned to us and said "Nicee lilly girlee, same piecee flowelee, you takee my head to walkee on. This is alle samee my father first chop ancestor. Dirty white devils makee him hurt.
An hour later, Ching Wang, who had gone into the bows to look out, leaving me at the tiller, suddenly called out: "Hi, lilly pijjin!" he shouted, gesticulating and showing more excitement than he had ever displayed before, his disposition generally being phlegmatic in the extreme. "One big smokee go long. Me see three piecee bamboo walkee, chop chop!"
He's the chap as come aboard yesterday." "Yes," I panted as I sat up, breathing painfully, "it's Ching. He's our friend." "Yes, flend, evelibody fiend," cried Ching. "Wantee go shore. Fancee shop." "Go ashore?" said the officer. "Yes, walkee shore." "But if I set you ashore amongst that howling mob, they'll cut you to pieces." "Ching 'flaid so. Allee bad man. Wantee kill young offlicer."
Cissy handed him the missive; he examined closely some half-a-dozen Chinese characters that were scrawled along the length of the outer fold, and which she had innocently supposed were a part of the markings of the rice paper on which the note was written. "Heap Chinaman velly much walkee longee way! S'pose you look." He pointed through the open front door to the prospect beyond.
Then there was distant yelling and shouting, and the danger seemed to thicken. "Is it much farther, Ching?" cried Barkins. "Yes, velly long way," he replied. "No' got no levolvers?" "No, I wish I had." "Fine levolver bull-dog in fancee shop, and plenty cahtlidge. Walkee fast." We were walking backwards as fast as we could, and the danger increased.
