THE CHING LING 37
nearly 1500 feet, two more climbs up and down
spurs, Kin-shui-ho was reached. And here he
found the deputy of the Yang Hsien magistrate
waiting for him.
The Han River was reached on the following
day. It flows through a small fertile, well-
cultivated plain. Pereira now had new peas and
cherries for the first time. But the fruit in China
suffers greatly from the Chinese preferring quan-
tity to quality and from their picking it before
it is ripe for fear of its being stolen.
Han-chung Fu was reached on April 30. It is
243 miles from Sian, and of this distance Pereira
walked 2214 miles, that is 17 miles a day. As
he approached, the city officials and soldiers
dashed about reporting his progress. Eventually,
hot and dusty, he arrived in the eastern suburb,
but much to his disgust was there detained that
he might be given an official welcome. The
friendly officials insisted upon putting him up in
a kung-kuan with a nice garden. But he held
out stoutly against being given any feasts or
presents. He afterwards heard, however, that
the people had been forced to pay 300 cash for
entertaining him, and this must have gone into
46
the pocket of underlings, while Pereira would be
i
credited with receiving it as a bribe to report
favourably on the opiumrowin . And in spite
g g p
of Government orders much opium was grown
about here, the officials not only cultivating it
themselves, but compelling the people to grow it
for their own profit. In the previous year, when
they grew too much, there was a slump in the
opium market, causing heavy loss to many people.
