As he was not altogether unconscious of our presence, he managed to raise himself, laid by his pipe, and dragged himself to a chair.

His eyes were fixed and staring, and his face deadly pale, presenting altogether a most pitiable and wretched spectacle.
Last of all, we were conducted to the garden, where the bonzes, at their death, are burnt--a particular mark of distinction, as all other people are interred.

A simple mausoleum, about thirty feet square, and a few small private monuments, were all that was to be seen.

None of them had any pretensions to elegance, being built of the simplest masonry.

In the former of these edifices are preserved the bones of the persons who have been burnt, and among them are also buried the rich Chinese, whose heirs pay pretty handsomely to obtain such an honour for them.
