Lungchao kindly lent to us for the purpose. The rice amounting to 244,068 eatties was carried in seven cargo boats.
It had been our expectation before coming to Kwai Un to load rice in 10,000-catty boals, but the necessary number of vessels for this purpose was not available.
I may also say that the special trackers, pro- mised (I understood) to Mr. Clement, were
not provided at any point through at the whole route, neither had Mr. Fletcher heard anything of this maner. The Magistrate sent twenty soldiers to escort us to Wangchau, and they were distributed among the seven rice boats. A start was made at 2.45 pm, on the 9th Jane, A few minor accidents resulting in the loss of considerable time delayed us at various points on the way.
We reached Wangchau on Wednesday, June 17th, at 60 a.m. and from there sent you a message Arrived Wangchau. No special trackers provided as promised. Pro.ress slow. -Goff" (Approximately the wire was such. I did not take a duplicate). Also at this place we received a wire from Mr. Hinkey, at Wing Shun "Awaiting you here.-Hinkey." To this we replied: "Received your telegram. Hope arrive Wing Shun twenty-first."
We sent our cards to the Yamen but learnt that the magistrate had already left for Nám
Heung.
The Kwai Un magistrate's soldiers were left here, according to understanding, and we pro
·ceeded without escort but not minus peace of
mind.
We arrived at Nan Heung on Thursday. June 18 b, at noon. Four soldiers presented themselves to say that the Wangchau magis trate had left for a village some distance away and had sent them in act as escort to Wing Shun. On inquiries, found that magistrate had not supplied them with sufficient rice for journey, and regarding as ndiculous an escort of four soldiers for eight boats, declined the escort and gave soldiers our cards to produce as proofs that they had communicated the magistrate's message to us.

With colporteur went to visit feading gentle- men of the place, but with the exception of two, Messrs. Man and Sün, they were all away on public business, and would not be back for two or three days. Had conservation with these gentlemen who referred to Mr. Clement's visit and seemed disappointed to hear he was not with me. They informed me that Cheung Tong itself was no longer needy, as the first rice was now matured and was being consumed, but in the villages near by, inland from the river bank, the rice was not quite ready. They requested 10,000 calties only, and assured me that would be sufficient. I suggested to them as they had a convenient centre, that they adopt the practice at Kwai Peng of distributing every three days and giving unboiled rice, Twelve oz.

Said the conditions here were not so bad, and the villages could not be reached even by soldier on account of robbers. Requested him to lend me a horse and a few soldiers and would visit villages and Investigate. He promised to see the To Toi about this mat- ter as he could not say anything before doing so. Neither could he promise me a place for the storage of rice before consulting him. Would let me have an answer next day.
On Sunday, June 28th, a deputation of four gentlemen called upon me. Three were from Cheung Tong and came to express thanks for the rice given out there; the fourth man was from Ling Li and came to beg for rice from that place and district. He was not present when I called and explained that the seeming indifference of the people was caused by fear. They have been completely cowed lately in. consequence of the raids of robbers an 1 the eventual burning of their village, and they dared not enter into any transaction with me for fear of consequences, although their circumstances were worse than those existing elsewhere. Even rice bowls, | many of the people did not possess
sured me that there were at least in the thiny
cording to need.
They promised to adopt this suggestion and to send me regularly a report of the work done. They expressed themselves as quite clear on three details over which I feared there might be misunderstanding, viz.:-
(i) The rice was for free distribution only,
not for cheap sale. (ii) It is to be distributed unboiled. (ii) That the responsibility for, and ex- pense of carrying up from, boat is
their business, Unloaded 10,000 catties and set sail at 5 p.m. Arrived near village called Chan Pan HS at 6 p.m., on opposite side of river from Cheung Tong. The people called to ask for help. Went into the place and found it in a very dilapidated condition. The people were evidently in need. Some other villages ware distant two and three miles. Persuaded them | to send messengers and inform them that rice 'was here, for the ntidy only. Next morning Thursday, June 25th, at 6 am, distributed rice to people from this village, on river bank, 2,200 cauies, giving to each person about 15 catties. Elders' names Leung and Ngàn,
Gave to old gentleman from small place across the way consisting of twenty souls, 200 cauties for distribution. Village called Ha Ho, elder's name Leung Man Chung. Afterwards people from villages in Chan Pan T'ün, sent to last evening, arrived, on river bank. They numbered 45. but leading man gave me detailed lists of over one hundred people. Did not feel justified in giving out rice recklessly, so handed to them for distribu- tinn, 800matted Elders' names Ngan Shi Shing, and Chan Yun Ch'a'i.

We had a conference with the gentry, They were heartily in sympathy with our suggestions to distribute unboiled rice instead of gracl, and to do 50 third day in minimum portions of 12 oz. (Chinese), and giving two or more times this quantity according to the pressing nature of the individual's need. In conference with Mr.
Hin' ey we decided to leave to,ore catties here
on behalf of United States Consul. Later in the day we had an interview with the magistrate, at which several of the gentry also were pre- sent. They seemed to be in hearty sympathy with our object and promised an escort of soldiers up to Nanning.

In consultation with Mr. Hinkey it was thought advisable that either Mr. Mackenzie or self remain to assist Mr. Hinkey who had not yet any experience in the distribution of famine relief. Accordingly it was decided that Mr. Mackenzie remain for the present. order to obviate any delay, 1,150 calties of rice were immediately' transferred frome one boat to the most heavily laden junk, making her total cargo 50,035 cuties, and she was left $2,942-34

Reached Po Min at 2.0 p m.
With colporteur went to Shin Tong and aw five of the leading members and most influential people of the town. They said that inatters were very bad, that 1,500 people had been daily receiving rice gruel during the two months they had been distributing, but that the people who were really in need of rice were very many more. Harvest was not due for twenty days at least. They promised to see to distribution in the different villages on their side of the river, but told me plainly they could not undertake any places on the north bank Decided to give them 40,000 catties. At the Shin T'ang also had conversation with gentle men from villages on North side of river, Gave 6,000 catties to San Ch'ün (large place) 1,800 to Kam Ting, No San and No Táp (very small places) and 200 catties to Tam Hong. Finished weighing by dark.
Names of Po Mui Shin Tong gentlemen whom I saw are:--

He 'as-
villages of that district about 90 people with- out food, and without the hope of any, for three months as the first crop had not been planted owing to the lack of rice. Gave him 20,000 catties. This elder's name was Chung Sing, and the names of other elders in the place were luki Troi Chau Cheung Yeung Shin, Li Man Fo, Luk Kin Hau and T'on' Sheang Po.
Later in the day, a gentleman named Lü Lung Kwong came from Lo Lio, to ask for rice far that district. Br. ilinkey had told me that this place was in great distress. It is five miles inland from Leung Bing, and had the people thrie shewn greater willingness to help in relieving distress I would possibly have left rice for this place and district there. Mr. Hinkey had mentioned to me a gentleman named U Fu Ai, a native of Lo Lin, an honest and responsible man. This gentleman called upon me yesterday, but as I had not then seen the magistrate felt I could not on the instant promise im anything and requested him to wait ill evening for an answer. This gentleman named above, came in his stead to-day, as Mr. U could not remain longer in Nanning. In No Lin district there are 30 villages with a population of 3,000, all of whom are needy. Rice is due in about a month. Gave him 10,000 catties.
During the day the Ua and the Wai magis trates came to see ine. The latter had con- ducted Mr. Clementi from Kwai Up to this place on the occasion of his visit two months ago. The Un informed me that the T'a Toi was very pleased I had come to distribute rice and wished to extend his sincere thanks to the Hongkong Committee, for their generous con- tribution of rice. The Wai Un seemed to be well informed of the state of affairs here, and told me that had it not been for the promise of rice made by Mr. Clementi the distribution of gruel would have ceased at the end of the fourth Chinese month, but in consequence of that promise the Kwang Sai Shen T'ong had continued to give during the, fif.h months, and the Kwang Tung Shin Tong was now distri: buting for this, the intercalary fifth month. The people were in expectation of this "English" rice and would be disappointed if they did not now receive it. Ten days he thought would be sufficiently long for distribution in the city itself.
The officials seemed greatly opposed to my going into the country to investigate at present, offering as their reason, the bad condition of the roads and the presence of robbers.
They promised to send member of the geotry class into the more distant villages to inquire and make full lists as to the numbers of the
U Ka Kon. Also independent gentleman | destitate. present at conference, natned Ts'am Ka Kit.
They understood clearly that sice was
1. For free distribution.
ii. That porterage from rice boats was their business
ii. That no deserving person was to be re fused help irrespective of what his native vil lage might be.
I hope to see the gentry to-morrow and to arrange a system for the dist ibution of unboiled rice to the people of Nanning and immed ate neighbourhood. I hope to ar ange it on the Kwai Peng system. This distributi o will be for the people living within walking distance of the distributing centre. The investigations of the gentry above referred to are imited to the places beyond easy walking distances.
