Rh former interpreter at the U. S. Consulate-General, is now with the Canton-Hankow Railway. It was during the year of 1879 when General Grant was on a tour of the world that Mr. Wong met General Grant in Shanghai and acted as his escort to the various nearby Chinese towns. When General Grant departed from Shanghai he gave to the young Chinese gentleman, who had escorted him a solid gold American eagle emblem, which Mr. Wong has worn as a watch charm these many years.
