From Kalgan he made his way to Tatung, visited the bat-haunted Imperial Cave Temples of the Wei Dynasty, thence to Saratsi in Suiyuan District to inspect China's greatest irrigation project, a dam being built under the supervision of O. J. Todd, U. S. engineer, to harness the mighty yellow River, "China's Sorrow," and attempt to control its perennial floods...

Cat, squirrel, frog and bat took on human ways. It was all delightfully fragile and the more music-wise waxed enthusiastic over the smart orchestration which suggested perfectly so detailed a bit as the Boy stupidly mulling over his mathematics. Soprano Queena Mario, all agreed, made an irresistibly piquant Boy. But the children liked her better...
