In the first hack was a lone female, with her head in a bundle of bright-colored Chinese silk, which concealed every feature. Behind was another hack, in which several Chinese boys rode, each carrying a burning taper. Then came two more hacks, each filled with Chinese women. All alighted at the wharf, and the hooded woman was assisted out and led on board the steamer, her course being conducted by the boys with the lighted tapers and the women. The woman was so closely veiled as to be practically blindfolded. Then it was ascertained that she was a daughter of “Sonora George,” and was going to Bedouin Island to be married.
