SAILING UP THE YANGTSZE.
Wonderful Scenery and Thrilling Ex-
periences of Dr. North and Wife,
in China.
On the Upper Yangtsze, Above
Wanshien, November, 5, 1923.
Dear Home Folks:
Only two days from Chungking!
We are all well and happy, anxious
to see what our destination will be
like. Our whole trip has certainly
been beyond our expectations; we
hope that Chungking will not be dif-
ferent in this respect.
Last Wednesday morning we came
into Ichang. Mr. Squire, of the Chi-
na Inland Mission Home in Ichang,
met us on the boat, and hurried us off
to breakfast. We got through cus-
toms without our usual trouble be-
cause Mr. Squire knew the ropes and
rushed us through. We found he had
already made reservations for us on
the S. S. Robert Dollar, which was
due to arrive from Chungking that
afternoon. When we visited the
steamship office, however, we learned
that Mr. Wyndham, the manager, had
had a telegram from the captain to
the effect that General Wu Pei Foo’s
soldiers had built a pontoon bridge
across the river and refused to open
it to allow him to pass. We must pa-
tiently wait for a favorable time.
Ichang is a city of some 70,000 peo-
ple, located at the foot of the world-
famous gorges. We found it very
muddy because of the damp weather
and the rain, but on the day following
our arrival the sun began to shine
again, and dried up some of the mud.
In pleasant weather Ichang might be
a worse town. They tell me it has
improved greatly in the past few
years. It is a treaty port, and is
therefore open to considerable for-
eign influence. Along the water front
are several imposing (for China) for-
eign structures. It has also two or
three really wide streets.
On the day after our arrival Lewis
Havermale, the Blanchards, Sarah
and I started out on a hike, our des-
tination being the railway station and
the White Temple. We were not
clearly directed, and wandered for an
hour or two through the narrow, dir-
ty streets of the city, inquiring at
every turn in the road the way to the
station. After a circuitous journey
we reached the suburbs and were con-
fronted with a structure that would
have done credit to many an Ameri-
can city. The unfortunate thing
about the Ichang railway station is
that it has no railroad connected
with it. Its history is interesting.
Several years ago the officials raised
large sums of money to construct a
railroad from Ichang to Chungking.
The Chinese from all over the region
contributed’ funds. Then the officials
began to speculate or to do something
out of the way. Much of the money
was lost. They did, however, build
the Ichang station and some five or
ten miles of road on which a train ran
for a time. Then their funds gave
out. The people began to make in-
quiry, and found that their money
was gone, and no accounting could be
had. I am told that this affair was
the direct cause that precipitated the
revolution. At present the station is
used as a barracks for Northern sol-
diers.
From the station we climbed to the
White Temple. This is so situated
behind the city that from the upper
stories one can get a wonderful bird’s
eye view of Ichang and the pyramidal
hills across the river. A young no-
vitiate for the priesthood——it is a
Buddhist temple—escorted us into the
structure and up the stairs to a place
where a good view could be had. When
we came down the hill, we passed
through acre after acre of ancestral
mounds with stone tablets telling, I
suppose, of the virtues of some of the
ancient worthies. Between these
mounds farmers raise crops, making
use of what is not sacred, and I fear,
of some that is sacred. All this land,
in a country that is so thickly popu-
lated as China, ought to be given over
to agriculture. We passed one mound
deeorated with paper in honor, I
judged, of the departed.
In the afternoon the men of the
crowd took a sampan ride up the riv-
er for a short distance. A sailboat
came along, and, as the custom is, our
rowers, using their long bamboo poles,
hooked on to it. We trailed merrily
behind for some distance. Just as
visions of a fine long ride to the en-
trance to the gorges was forming it-
self in our minds, the skipper of the
sailboat hauled down his sail, and we
had to resort to our oars again. We
crossed to the opposite bank of the:
river, left the boat, and climbed one
of the pyramidal hills. The writer
was the only one who climbed to the
top, but by doing so he secured some
excellent photographs of the city and
surrounding country.
That same afternoon the Robert
Dollar arrived. A Japanese gunboat
had appeared on the scene of the pon-
toon bridge above Wanhsien and the
Chinese meekly allowed him to pass.
Our ship slipped through at the same
time. Next morning we boarded the
boat. We were sorry to have to leave
the Pilchers behind, but the older boy
had a high fever and his parents were
afraid to start on a journey with him.
We hope to see them again in Chung-
king. We were prepared to start at
nine o'clock, but the steamer wasn’t.
It did not get under way until one.
In the mean time we were visited by
three young ladies on their way down
from Chengtu: Miss Forbes, Miss
Peebles and Miss March. Miss Forbes
is a Y. W. C. A. girl, Miss Peebles is
an M. E. mission girl, and Miss March
is 2a Y. W. girl. The last named is a
graduate of Syracuse, class of 1910.
In this connection I might mention
the fact that we also met while in
Ichang Dr. and Mrs. Morse, and their
daughter, of Chengtu, members of
the Northern Baptist Mission. With
them was traveling a Mrs. Miles, the
mother of one of the missionaries in
Chengtu. They are on their way
home for furlough.
Shortly after we set sail we enter-
ed the Ichang gorge. The scenery is
magnificent. It is not easy to put in-
to words the effect of a swiftly flow-
ing river flanked on either side by
towering rocky steeps, rough and
craggy, sometimes reaching a height
I should say, of two or three thousand
feet. Red rock, white rock, clinging
spots of green vegetation—the whole
is tremendous in its effect. Then the
sharp, almost right-angled, turns of
the river give one repeated changes of
scene, until one is almost surfeited
with scenery. I understand that the
scenery has been compared to that of
the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas, in
Colorado, but the gorges of the
Yangtsze seem to me to outstrip in
grandeur the Royal Gorge. There is
certainly much more of them. The
first night we moored the ship just at
the entrance to the second main divis-
ion of the gorges, the Ox Liver Gorge.
The portals of this gorge certainly
deserve the term majestic. Lewis and
I went ashore to take a picture of the
Robert Dollar lying at anchor here.
It was dusk, but we hope for good re-
sults.
Next morning we set sail about six
—if “set sail” can be correctly applied
to a steamship. The weather still
continued cloudy, but I kept taking
pictures just the same. Just after
breakfast we came to the Yeh Tan,
or Wild Rapids. The Captain gave
the signal for full steam ahead, and
we rushed gallantly into the foaming
current ahead. All went well until we
got just above the roughest, but evi-
dently not the swiftest, water. Then
we barely held our own. The whistle
blew for the trackers, who live beside
the rapids, to come to our assistance.
Boys, young men, middle-aged men,
and old men—all came down to the
shore. One held out a bamboo pole to
catch the tow line thrown from the
boat. On the first try he missed it.
On the second he caught it. Many
hands grasped it and began hauling
it ashore. To the end of the rope was
attached the steel cable. After per-
haps thirty or forty yards of it had
been hauled ashore, the current
caught it and ripped it out of the
trackers hands. The ship’s wench
hauled it aboard again. On another
try the trackers managed to haul it
ashore and up to the concrete post on
shore for that purpose, where they
fastened it. Then the wench began
to wind it in, and gradually we got
out of the racing current to a place
where the propellers could do their
work. We all breathed a sigh. It
was the most exciting moment of our
trip. But we relaxed too soon. When
we had got into slacker water, we
waited for the leader of the trackers
to come out to the ship for the pay.
The compradore handed the money
out, but one of the men on board the
sampan began to argue—for more
money, I suppose. He lost his balance
and went overboard. Under the sam-
pan he sank, but luckily came up
astern where he caught the rudder.
As the boat floated down stream, he
was hauled aboard, a sadder, but, I
hope, a wiser man.

Markle, one of the best known men at
State College and the surrounding lo-
cality, died at the Bellefonte hospital
on Monday morning. He had been ail-
ing for almost a year with internal
trouble but it was not until Septem-
ber that he became concerned as to
his condition. And consultation was
had with a number of physicians none
of whom gave him much hope for re-
lief from his malady. He was brought
to the hospital on January 26th for an
operation but his condition had grown
so grave that nothing could be done
to save his life.
He was a son of Jacob and Eliza-
beth Halderman Markle and was born
in Ferguson township on September
24th, 1855, making his age 68 years,
5 months and 11 days. His early life
was spent on the Sammy Glenn farm
on the Branch and like all farm
boys his time was divided be-
tween going to school in the winter
months and helping with the farm
work in the summer. When he grew
to manhood, however, he went to
State College and for a number of
sears was employed on the college
grounds. Later he embarked in the
butchering business at that place.
Thrifty and industrious, as well as
strictly fair in all his dealings, he
made a success of the business and
eventually purchased a farm within
close proximity to the College. Some
twenty or more years ago he sold his
meat market and gave his entire time
to the management of his farm until
his retirement about two years ago.
He was a life-long member of the
Presbyterian church, a member of the
ca, and a vice president of the First
National bank of State College.
As a boy we knew Abe Markle, and
the impression made then by that
fine, fair character that greeted every-
one so cheerily and went out of his
way, always, to do favors, has been
added to constantly through the thir-
ty-eight years of acquaintance. Big
in stature, but bigger still in heart, he
was a man who never failed to do his
humble part in the Godly work of
making the world a better place to
live in and in so doing surely has
won eternal peace and happiness.
In 1879 he married Miss Emma M.
McElroy who died sixteen years ago.
Surviving their union are three sons,
James J., Harry J. and William
F. Markle, all of State College. He
also leave two brothers and two sis-
ters, Joseph Markle and Mrs. John
Krumrine, of State College; Mrs. Al-
ice Houtz and Charles Markle, of El-
burn, Ill.
Rev. Samuel Martin had charge of
the funeral services which were held
at his late home at ten o’clock yes-
terday morning, burial being made in
the Branch cemetery.

ZELLER.—William S. Zeller, who
for more than half a century was
closely identified with the business
interests of Bellefonte, died at his
home on north Allegheny street at
8:45 o'clock on Tuesday morning.
During the past fourteen months he
had been confined to his room, most
of the time to his bed, and his death
was the result of general infirmities. -
He was born at Mercersburg, in
Franklin county, on July 6th, 1843,
hence had lived to the age of 80 years,
6 months and 29 days. While he was
a boy the family moved to Lock Ha-
ven and it was there he secured his
education and learned the drug busi-
ness. Fifty-four years ago he came
to Bellefonte and established a drug
store in the old Brockerhoff building
on Bishop street. A few years later
he moved his store into the Brocker-
hoff house block, and from there to
the Crider Exchange building where
he did business many years and where
the store is still located. He was one
of the most careful and conscientious
druggists in the entire State.
He was a member of St. John’s
Episcopal church and his greatest ac-
tivity next to his business interests
were devoted to his church work. He
had successively filled the offices of
superintendent of the Sunday school,
vestryman and accountant warden
and at the time of his death was an
honorary vestryman. He was one of
the old school type of citizens—hon-
est, reliable and conscientious to a
remarkable degree. So closely did he
"apply himself to his business affairs
that he found little time to devote to
the social side of life but on the few
most congenial and delightful enter-
tainer.
On January 28th, 1874, he married
Miss E. J. McManus, of Bellefonte,
who passed away two years ago. They
had no children and his only survivors
are one brother, John C. Zeller, of
Paul D. Deiffenbacher, of Carnegie;
Mrs. E. J. Giffen, of Gibsonia,
Miss Mary H. Zeller, of Lock Haven.

We have been here almost two
weeks. Had a nice trip coming in our
cars; some bad roads—none impassa-
ble and most of the roads were good.
Of our three cars, none had any car
trouble; the same air in our tires we
started with and none added. We did
not hurry; drove only during the day,
starting anywhere from 8 to 10 a. m.,
stopping for night from 3 to 5 p. m.
At Jacksonville we spent a half day,
seeing the city and visiting the large
alligator and ostrich farms; were in
St. Augustine over night and next
forenoon saw the city and went
through the Old Fort; spent a night
in Daytona, next morning got our
cars and took a spin on the race course

In New York, where its phenome-
nal run at the 44th Street theatre at-

it as the greatest demonstration of
Rex Ingram’s genius, and a crowning
colossal achievement of motion piec-
tures. -
The picture tells the story of a
young nobleman, Andre-Louis, who
devotes his life to the cause of the
rebels when his dearest friend is mur-
dered by a powerful marquis and the
courts refuse to take action. Andre-
Louis joins a group of strolling play-
ers, taking the clown role, Scara-
mouche, and, under that disguise,
helps stir the whirlwind of rebellion
that culminates in the attack on the
Tuileries. Alice Terry, Ramon No-
varro and Lewis Stone have the prin-
cipal roles and there are 10,000 per-
sons in the mob scenes. In making
an epic of frenzied passions and tense
adventure live again on the screen,
