Inside the rail O'Brien, the assistant district attorney, was busy in conversation with three cueless Chinamen in American clothes.

And he pointed to Kan Wong Kan Wong, his head bleeding from a wound, his eyes glowing with a green fury from between their narrow lids, his long, strong hands, red with blood other than his own, still clutching his rifle with a grip that had a tenderly savage joy in it. The officer approached him.
"Are you the man who rallied the coolies and held the line?" he asked shortly. Kan Wong stiffened with a dignity to which he now felt he had a right. "Me fight," he said quietly "me fight, coolie fight, too. Me belong Dlagon's blood. One time my people fighting men; long time I wait." "You'll wait no longer," said the officer.
I am told that the Chinese Methodists of one church in California give yearly from $1,000 to $1,800 for the various purposes of the church.

When a ship comes into port with Chinese, the agents of the companies board it, and each takes the names of those who belong to his province.

Forbes seemed hardly to be aware of Furneaux's words. He went out. Theydon accompanied him, and, as they descended the stairs together, the older man said brokenly: "It is my wife and daughter for whom I fear.
