　　The old man was amazed at this relation, and told us we were in theright to go away to the north; and that, if he might advise us, itshould be to sell the ship in China, which we might well do, andbuy, or build another in the country; adding that I should meetwith customers enough for the ship at Nankin, that a Chinese junkwould serve me very well to go back again, and that he wouldprocure me people both to buy one and sell the other.
