Aware that this transit pass would be utterly ignored if left in the hands of Chinese, Mr. Andrew decided to accompany bis goods to their destination and to personally see that no illegal impost was levied on them. To this and he chartered a house boat and steam-launch, and stored his goods in the latter, taking a clerk and interpreter with him, and a few stand of arms for self-protection, if need be. He left Canton on the 39th of number of friends. Os the 7th last the muster of the launch returned to Canton bringing a deer's head to Mr. Farmer, of the Victoria Hotel his man stated that the two boats, the cargo and the crew had been seized by the mandarina and the man thrown lato prison, and that he had only managed to escape by a clever artifice, and had at once returned to Canton. This news as confirmed on the following day, when Mr. Farmer received a chit from Mr. Andrew, dated the 3rd Inst, containing a letter to the British Connut and another to the same person under cover to another person, with the request that they be forwarded as soon as possible as he had got loto difficulties with the mandadina.
The contents of the letters to the Consul are of course unknown, but they are believed to confirm the statement of the master launch,

Of lika tenor are Secretary Calboun's words to Mr. Pakenham (Wharton Digest, vol. h. P. 6)1 ".. So likewise, in the case of a river, it has been usual to extend the claim of "tenitory to the entire region drained by it; more especially in the case of a discovery sad settlement at the rivers mouth," Moreover, In 1873, Secretary Fish wrote to Mr. Preston:- 'Discovery alone is not enough to give dominion Such discovery musi and jurisdiction,

Now if it be true as alleged, that for more than two centuries the Daich and Britlah, have had permanent settle- ments at the mouth of the Essequibo, and that in the region drained by that stream the Venezuelans have had no such settlements, there would seem to be very little room for contention.
