CHAP. i.] A CHINESE ARSENAL. 29
The chief attraction was an arsenal recently
set up here entirely by Chinamen, and managed
by them alone, without any European guidance
or supervision whatever. Here we found
magazine rifles, gatling guns, and field-guns
being turned out in creditable fashion. We
called on the manager, who himself conducted
us round the workshops. It was he who had
started the place, and we were fairly astonished
to find such a really creditable establishment
in the heart of Manchuria, many hundreds
of miles from the coast, and in a country
where there were neither railways nor water-
ways, nor even good roads for the carriage of
the heavy and delicate machinery. Mr. Sung,
the manager, was very civil to us, and invited
us to dinner, where we met some other officials
of the place. Chinese dinners are generally
elaborate, and this one was no exception.
Course after course was served up, till we
must have had between thirty and forty, in-
cluding such delicacies as sea-slugs, sharks'
fins, and bird's-nest soup. The Chinese are
remarkably good cooks, and, though the dishes
are often served in a way which is not palatable
to Europeans, the actual cooking is excellent
