The town of San CHAPTER 10: THE TOWN

Diego
Almost on the margin of the lake, in the midst of meadows
and paddy-fields, lies the town of San Diego. From it sugar,
rice, coffee, and fruits are either exported or sold for a small
part of their value to the Chinese, who exploit the simplicity
and vices of the native farmers.

Pasig River CHAPTER 1: A SOCIAL GATHERING

It is a rather large building, in the style of many in the country,

and fronts upon the arm of the Pasig which is known to some
as the Binondo River, and which, like all the streams in
Manila, plays the varied rôles of bath, sewer, laundry, fishery,
means of transportation and communication, and even
drinking water if the Chinese water-carrier finds it convenient.
