A nostalgic narrative of a 1912 Soochow trip recounts arriving by rail from a distant city, staying in a comfortable home, and observing school life, worship sites, and local scenes. The writer mixes observations of students, teachers, and natives with verses praising landscapes, pagodas, boats, and a voyage by houseboat.
The narrative describes climbing a tall tower to view pagodas and cityscapes, noting half a score pagodas and a structure called the sk. It mentions visiting a chapel morning services and a Laura Haywood school where girls are trained, with clean beds tidy rooms and bright faces suggesting good upbringing.
