Traffle on the River. The Yangtze is the principal artery of the opíum trafic and here the Maritime Customs, which keeps a close watch on shipping but has no preventive force at its disposal, vainly attempts to apply the law of the land to the consignments of oplum brought down the river in every steamer. The steamer com- panles, of all nationalities, including Chinese, cannot
examine the bag- gage brought on board by countless passengers, nor can they be respon- sible for the packages of opium hidden away by the crews who turn an honest penny by doing a little trading on this side. The Customs searchers continually seize small consignments, but what they con- fiscate is a mere fleabite. Before a steamer reaches a city or town little fleets of sampans may be observed idling upon her course, and, when the vessel passes, overboard go the bundles containing the opium, to be retrieved by the waiting sampans- Big consignments are usually under military protection, which intrudes A guard of Itself in various ways. soldiers somewhere up river openly accompanies a shipment and, if opposed, is ready to shoot the ship's officers.
