Umbrella Tale From a Mission in China
A traveler recalls traveling through Bhantung province and aiding a kidnapped Mandarin. He saves a village, earns a reward, and receives an umbrella bearing a writing stick inscription. The umbrella provokes reverent glances from locals, then helps him survive a Boxer-movement tense moment at a missionary station. Bibel translates the umbrella's inscription as an imperial order to respect the map and related possessions.
