Note 1155 — Chapter XLIII · “PLUS UN PAYS PRODUIT DES POISSONS, PLUS IL PRODUIT D’HOMMES”
Reading edition
Second edition (London, 1909), p. 390. Then on p. 250 there is a weird story of the goblins who ate the bodies of nineteen men drowned in the river, but spared the father of Wang Shih-hsiu, because he was a skilled drop-kicker in the football matches played on a mat in the middle of Lake Tung-t’ing. The ball was a fish’s bladder!
