HOIHOW
893
There is no telegraphic or wireless communication with the mainland at present Telegrams are received at mainland offices for this island, but are sent by post and usually take from two to four weeks before they are received mutilated. A harbour light, and a light at Lamko (western entrance of the Hainan Straits) were opened in 1894; also one at Cape Cami in 1895. An Aga Lantern apparatus was installed on the West Fort close to the city at the commencement of 1916. The approach to the harbour badly needs dredging, but is not likely to be dredged until the native merchants of Hoihow develop a little public spirit, and conditions in China improve generally.
