Four Young Explorers Or Sight Seeing In The Tropics PDF Download

Excerpt from Four Young Explorers: Or Sight-Seeing in the Tropics After the young explorers had looked over the capital Of Siam, the guardian-mother and her con sort made the voyage to Saigon, the capital of French cochin-china, where the visit of the tourists was a general frolic, with lots of fun, as the young people expressed it; and then, crossing the China Sea, made the port of Manila, the capital Of the Philippine Islands, where they explored the city, and made a trip up the Pasig to the Lake of the Bay. From this city they made the voyage to hong-kong, listening to a very long lecture on the way in explanation of the history, manners, and customs, and the peculiarities of the people of China. They were still within the tropics, and devoted them selves to the business of sight-seeing with the same vigor and interest as before. But most of them had read so much about China, as nearly every American has, that many of the sights soon began to seem like an Old story to them.
