The primary purpose of the wall was to make it difficult for semi-nomadic people outside the wall (such as the Mongols under Altan Khan and the Oirats under Esen Taiji) to raid into China with their horses or return with stolen property. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Great_Wall_of_China   (1989 words)

However, on 2 December 1910, this veteran of the Arctic and Antarctic, overloaded in Bowers' words with "garbage fore and aft," came near to sinking in a force 10 gale. home.earthlink.net /~kcrawfish   (17662 words)
