Honghing with provisions: Nantow, Taepang, Sinan, Lantas, Macas, Hachong, and Tingches. No interruption in this business has ever been experienced and the reiterated plunder of pirates has in many instances been obviated by the payment of blackmail.
Were it possible to cut off their boats, great distress would be experienced as nearly every article for maintaining life is brought from elsewhere, and very little grows on the island itself.
The intercourse with Macas both by Portuguese Lochas as well as fastboats has always been very lively, transhipments from that place to this and vice versa being of frequent recurrence; though it cannot be said that there exists a native trade.
The only branch to which this name is applicable is in the traffic in salt. This is brought from the fact of Sucking and Kwrither.
