HOIHOW
The postal service was at first conducted at the British Consulate only; when the Chinese Imperial Post was created a branch of that service was lso established at this port. In the beginning of 1900 a French Post Office was idded; the public is therefore well provided for in that respect. Telegraphic communication with the other ports of the world is established through he line under Chinese administration, but the service is most wretchedly conducted, he line being more often interrupted than not. Wireless telegraphy was inaugurated n April, 1908, to operate across the Hainan Strait at Hoihow and Suwen, immediately >pposite on the mainland. A harbour fight, as well as one at Lamko (western ntrance of the Hainan Straits), were opened in 1894; also one at Cape Cami in 1895. The approach to the harbour badly needs dredging.
