Citation Information
TO MOUNT OMEI 55
which he reached on the 12th, passing Ki-akiang-
hsien, the centre of the wax industry, where he
saw some of the trees (pai-la-shu) from which the
wax is obtained ; they were only about 10 feet
high, and the season (August) when they bear
wax had not yet arrived. Yachow he found to
be a fairly clean' city surrounded by high hills.
The day he was there was really fine, which was
a relief after the month of rain he had experienced.
And he spent the evening with Mr. and Mrs.
Smith of the American Baptist Mission, who had
a charming bungalow on a hill outside the city
with pretty views down the Ya valley.
Kiungchow he reached again on July 17, after
passing through undulating country by a very
bad and slippery road. This was the same place,
56 miles from Chengtu, which he had passed on
his outward journey to Mount Omei.
