44   AMONG THE CELESTIALS. [CHAP. II.

on the morning we left Ninguta was at

I I° Fahrenheit, so we had to push on hard

to get to our farthest destination, which we

hoped might be on the sea, at the Russian port

just beyond Hunchun, and then back to our

original starting-point at Newchwang, before

the severest part of the Manchurian winter

overtook us. The road was terribly bad, again

crossing over ridges fifteen hundred to two

thousand feet in height, passing over heavy

bogs and morasses, and through forests of pine,

birch, and oak.

Hunchun we found to be simply a garrison

town. There were here about three thousand

troops, and the small town there served for

little else than to supply their wants. But we

discovered in it a number of European articles

which had been imported from the Russian

station close by. Clocks, sweets, soap, canned

fruits, and many other luxuries were to be

obtained here, and at a very reasonable price.

We bought a can of Singapore pineapples for

a shilling. In the direction of the Russian

frontier, which was only ten miles distant, were

some strong forts mounted with heavy Krupp

guns.
