I may say that in this district no body was dumped during that time, witia o exception-nod 1 balieve the Kayong could toll me something about thut if they ked, for it was not from this dia. rict. Now, all this shows to me that the Chinese pupke of Hongkong are prepared to help themedves and to ixlp the authorities if they are called upon to do so. The Kaifeng and the propt of the-district know with what kindness and care Dr. Atkinson'and Dr. Peurse
