SAMSHUI
In the Summer malignant
were foreigners. Goods traffic does not exist so far. diseases-fever, dengue, cholera, plague, etc.-may occasionally appear, as in every other place in China; but in the Winter the air is keen, bracing, and clear. The waterways and surrounding country are picturesque and the adjacent heights (from 200 to 400 ft.) worthy of ascent. Game, especially snipe, duck and geese, is to be found in fair quantities. The temperature varies from 38° F. to 100° F.-dry in winter, damp in summer-but generally very supportable.
