XX HEADER INTO A DEEP DITCH ONE forenoon found me trudging slowly along with several Chinese friends over the southern half of the Hong-soa County. Two preachers were of the party ; and, on such occasions, we often beguiled the time with profitable talk on Scriptural and other subjects. As it became evident we could not reach the chapel we were aiming for before dark, one of our party borrowed a road-lamp at a house whose inmates were known to him, and we all again set forth smartly to make up for lost time. It was then I tried to turn the position to advantage by speaking to my fellow-pilgrims on the importance of working while it is day, as the night cometh when no man can work. I was just pressing this truth home when my foot slipped and I was precipitated down a steep bank into the ditch beneath me. My descent took the form of what young people would call a " header," and I was bogged out of sight before it was possible for me to know where I was. The sharp steepness of the bank, the depth of the water compared with its narrowness, and the fact that its surface was covered with long trailing thrums of green grass-weeds were the principal items which arrested our attention. On my having been fished out, and the lantern held up, I must have appeared to be something for my white linen dress, even like old Sinbad the Sailor ; my head and face, were covered with those slimy threadlike water plants. During the process of my being 128
