Without hesitation the chief mate showed us all over the vessel.

She is a new-made ship, and has a voyage to Callao, when she carried about 650 Chinese.

She was in excellent order, though it was remarked that the space allotted to each berth was only twenty inches.

The Macao Coolie Guard had been on board for 9 or 10 years.

The Captain was not on board, but we were shown over the ship by the Carpenter, an Englishman.

He stated that 780 Chinese were carried to Callao on her last voyage.

They were discontented and mutinous, and it was believed that they would make a whole ship's width in the night, as there were no visible irons.

N.B. In British ships the space is 244 inches.

We next visited the "Luisa Canevaro," of about 1100 tons.

This vessel has been engaged in the same way, and being afraid of fire on the ship, water and provisions were kept on deck to the last moment.

On being questioned, the Carpenter stated that many of the coolies, on being put on board the ship at Macao, wanted to go ashore again, but he ridiculed them.
