"The east coast hasn't a harbour at all, has it?"
"No; mountains are on the east, and to the west are flat and fertile plains, and all the ports."
"I suppose you know, Sybil, that there are some wild beasts in Formosa?" Leonard went on.
"Yes, I heard Mr. Hardy say so: leopards, tigers, and wolves."
"I think it's my turn to ask a question now," Mrs. Graham said. "I wonder if you and Sybil can tell me what grows principally in Formosa?"
"Rice," Sybil began, "sugar, wheat, beans, tea, coffee, pepper."
"Cotton, tobacco, silk, oranges, peaches, and plums," Leonard ended. "We saw most of these things growing ourselves, so we ought to know."
"Yes; and flax, indigo, camphor, and many fruits that you have not mentioned."
"The Chinese part of the island, I suppose, belongs to Fukien?" Sybil said, "as it is painted the same colour on my map."
"Yes."
