’81—The following is from a letter
from the Rey. E. E. Aiken, written at
Tientsin, China, Oct. 10, 1808: “We are
about leaving Tientsin for this Winter,
at least, going some 800 li or Chinese
miles, about 300 English miles, up the
Grand Canal to Lin Ching, where the
Wei river joins the Canal in western
Chantung. We travel in one or two
“house-boats,” a smaller one carrying
our goods and freight, and one or two
servants, the larger accommodating
YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY.
ourselves and two servants and as much
of our goods and chattels as we need
or can stow away; to say nothing of
the four or five boatmen on each boat.
Out boat is divided into three or four
little compartments inside, the one
next the stern—though separated from it
by a space of open deck—being a very
small, narrow one which answers for
our little traveling kitchen, the next
larger, and having a high raised surface
of boards on which we can put our mat-
tress and springs and sleep very com-
fortably, the next having a little table
with stools on one side which answers
nicely for a dining table; we can sub-
stitute our own ordinary chairs for the
. stools, and a small-sized stove in the
opposite corner with pipe running out
through the side of the boat promises
to keep us comfortable when the
weather is cold, as it is likely to be
at night on the river at this season.
Still another compartment with wide
boards for benches on either side brings
us up to the open forward deck, the
bench being a convenient sleeping place
for one of our little boys. I should
have another item for our class report,
were you getting up one at present, as
a little daughter has been added to our
family since writing you, who is now
six months old, and as well and happy
as possible. I should say that our jour-
ney up the Canal will take some ten
days or two weeks, so it becomes a
question -of some importance as to
where we are going to live, with our
-three small children, all this time.
We are in the midst of a violent con-
servative reaction in the Chinese
government at the present time, as the
cablegrams will already have informed
you, the Emperor’s plans for rapid re-
form having been overruled with a
strong hand by the Empress Dowager.
The Emperor undoubtedly had not
taken. sufficient pains to prepare the way
and insure support. for his reforms;
still everything he did, nearly, was in
the right direction, and the current for
change in the direction of western ideas
and progress, not to say also Chris-
tianity, is setting so strongly in China
that it will take more than the Em-
press Dowager to stop it, great as may
be her power. However, she herself is
well known to be in favor of the new
ideas, in a number of respects, in spite
of the position in which she is at pres-
ent.”
