RETURN TO CHINA 205
rapids were small and the river from 100 to 200
yards wide. At first the hills were high and
covered with vegetation and some trees. At
20 miles the river passes through a beautiful gorge,
and here in several places coal was being hauled
down in baskets from the hill-tops by means of
two ropes running in a pulley. At 25 miles the
hills became much lower. At 28 miles was
An-pien Hsien, 240 families, opposite which the
Ta-kuan Ho, which Pereira had followed down
for some way, joins the Yangtze. It forms the
boundary between Yunnan and Szechwan. At
35 miles the hills were much lower and there was
more cultivation.
Sui Fu is a big crowded city at the junction of
the Min River with the Yangtze, and the Chinese
consider the Min as the main branch because it
is navigable up to Ch'eng-tu and Kwan-Hsien.

steam launch to Chung-King, 2771 miles, leaving
Sui Fu on the 3rd and arriving on May 4. The
boat was crowded with passengers and very un-
comfortable. There were low hills covered with
vegetation all the way. On the river, too, there
was still risk of brigands. Very few junks dared
make the passage. Steam launches have a better
chance. But Pereira's launch bore bullet marks
on it, and the bridge for the pilot and steersman
was protected by armour plating.
The first night was spent at Lu Chou, 941 miles,
but a start was made in the middle of the night
to avoid the brigands. Thirty miles above Chung
King the Mao-erh Hsia gorge in low hills was
passed. This is the greatest brigand centre, but
