V
OLD TIMES AROUND SWATOW.
"
JUNK BUILDING BY THE SWATOW MEN. The Swatow or rather the Sua-kha merchants originally built their huge junks at their homes in China, but as they required new ones from pic to me, they found it better to build them in Siam.. Teak lumber was then cheap as well an abundant. : Rice was cheap and labour was but little in advance of what it was at home. So after a series of prosperous voyages, thei chosua or chetua, as the rich man was called, would enter upon the construction of a brand new junk. We will step'in upon him and note the process.
A suitabile dockyard was rented. In the cen- tre of this yard was the mud dock itself, in which the water rose and fell with every tide strong dam was built across the front. The superfinous mud was cleaned out, and the pro- per beams laid across the bottom for the coming junk to rest upon, and that part of the place was then ready. Around the sides of the yard were built a large number of cheap sheds; these were for the accommodation of the workmen and for carrying on various forms of work, storage of material, &c. Even the chorua had his office here. In one of these miserable matsheds he kept his books, made his contracts and paid out his money; sheds were devoted to cookery, and all hands took their meals together, junk-owner, supercargo, clerks, carpenters, saw- yers, and caulkers-all cating substantially of the sarve dishes. ¿
It was noteworthy how everything was made out of raw material. Nearly everything needed for the junk was manufactured on the premises.

Since I wrote to you last, the weather has THE CHINA AND MANILA STEAMSHIP beca very unsettled, rain, fog and stormy days with now and then a few very warm summer days. On the 15th and 16th we had a strong N.E. gale which is quite unusual at this time of the year. The ss. Albay from Hongkong was two days on her way up to this port.
On the 10th instant, the British ship Black- adder, which arrived here on the 18th of March from Shanghai, ss. Whampoa was towed over the Bar by the The Blackadder was consigned to Bradley and Co, and took in 1151 tons of brown sugar, for St Helena for orders.
A few days ago Baron von Seckendorff, who was formerly Assistant in the German Consul ate at Canton, arrived here to take up the past of Acting German Consul, and I notice that the Imperial Arms have already disappeared from over the door of Mesars. Dircks & Ca's offices. It is rumoured that Baron von Seckendorff is temporarily stationed at this port on account at the interminable land case, the Chinese having with justice complained that the claimant, víz.j Mr. Schaar, of Dircks & Co., is also Acting as Judge or at least, representing the German Government.

The one thing, however, which best exhibited the pecullar enterprise and boldness of the Swatów men was the getting up of the mast ne great tree, eighty or ninety feet long, and from two and a half to three feet thick at the base, of heavy hardwood, was prepared as mainmast. It was then hauled on deck by means clamour of voices. The foot of the mast was of various windlasses, and amid a deafening placed in position on the deck over the socket into which it was to descend and rest; the other end reached out over the stern. But the 'strik- ing feature of the mast was a square hole mor- ticed nearly half way through it, and a short distance above the foot of it. Into this hole was put a lenon of iron-wood, reaching out more than a fost from the mast, and forming a sort of shoulder on the under side. A huge rope nearly a foot in diameter made specially for purpose, of it was secured on one side of the ship, and passed under this shoulder. One end the other end was colled around a post on the other side and then tied with a smaller rope, which could be cut with one blow of the batchet. All was now, ready, and the work of lifting into position commenced. A pair of long shears made of two trees stood forward, and were con- nected with the windlass Guy. ropes were also provided.

Now was the critical moment. The excitement and anxiety were

The guy ropes were tightened Hittle here and slackened a little there, until the builder was satisfied. Now then, every- body keep still, and let nobody the hatchet signal was given, One stroke of set free one end of the rope. The tremendous weight of the mast caused it to uncoil, but the coils were sufficiently numerous to prevent too. rapid a descent. Notwithstanding this, the mast fell almost suddenly a distance of six or seven feet. It went into its place with a tremendous thud which made the junk quiver from stem to stern. To an observer it seemed impossible to prevent its going directly through the bottom of the vead. But the heel of the mast did not quite reach the bottom. It was, wedged in the V-shaped frame, and the force of the fall was distributed laterally, and not downward. This operation of planting the mast was done after the junk had been hauled out of the dock, as the elasticity of a water bed was needed to prevent the ill effect of too great a concussion.
In due time the new junk was moored in the stream, ready for cargo, and bound for China, One way of providing cargo is characteristic of the Chinese Hundreds of settlers In Siam who wished to send money to their friends in China paid the sum into the hands of the super cargo.
