紅毛國，舊許與中國相貿易,邊帥見其眾，不許登岸。紅毛人固請賜一氈地足矣。帥思一氈所容無幾，許之。其人置氈岸上，但容二人，拉之容四五人。且拉且登，頃刻氈大畝許，已登百人矣。短刃並發，出於不意，被掠數里而去。

The Red Hair State was once allowed to trade with China. When the border marshal saw that a band of them, he declined the entrance permission; therefore, those red-haired individuals implored the marshal to allow as many as a carpet could hold. The marshal thought a carpet could only be for a few persons, so he granted. The red-haired person then laid the carpet on the shore, which could accommodate only two people. However, stretching out the carpet further allowed four to five people to sit. They kept on pulling, and more and more people stepped on. Instantly, the carpet extended so long that it could allow hundreds of them to go ashore. Then they all extracted daggers. Off China guard, the red-haired plundered a wide sphere of several miles before they left.
