Mr. Rankin was the only one in all the circle whom we had met previously. He had visited at my father's house some years before, when I was a child. The NiNGPO Pagoda. CHAPTER IX DESCRIPTION OF NINGPO LEARNING THE LANGUAGE NINGPO FU— that is, " City of the Peaceful Wave "—is in longitude 121° 22'. Its latitude, 30° 35', is about that of New Orleans. It is in the province of Che kiang. It is a large and important place, with three hundred thousand inhabitants. It is surrounded by a substantially... built stone wall, twenty feet in height, fifteen in width at the top, and twenty at its base, which is in good repair, though very ancient, and in many parts overgrown with moss and other plants. The wall has a high parapet with embrasures, and the top of it, inside the parapet, is a fairly good paved road either for walking or riding. Near each city gate is a long and easy flight of steps, which can be ascended by horses as well as by men. It lies in an extended amphitheater, in some places not far from twenty miles in breadth, with hills on one side and the ocean on the other.
