It was first thought that the opening of Naming to foreign trado, and the consequent establishing of a Custom House, there, world rouse Lungchow out of its lethargio sleep and bring more life into our relations with down-river ports; but so far this expectation has not been realised and all has remained as heretofore. With the exception of a couple of small steam. launches, sent up by the provincial authorities for official purposes, no abeamers bavo entered the part. That steam naviga tion up to Lungehow is not an impossibility. has also been demostrated by the French river gunboat Vigilante, a vessel of 150 tons, drawing about 2 feet. She made the tip during June 1995 and remained here for some two weeks. The journey both ways was accomplished without accidents. It is probable, however, that the condition of the river, with its many rápida and sharp bends, will always romain a serious bar to the development of riverine trad from a practical standpoint.
