And into the Mitzu Bishi Steamers the opium was instructed for California – The French Steamers took the Opium to Colombo, whence it was sent to Australian Ports and the Mitzu Bishi Steamers on arrival at Yokohama transhipped their quota into the S.S. Line of steamer, which left here every fortnight for America regularly and which were made to connect with the Mitzu Bishi at Yokohama.

The Man-ho ting chops were unknown in the Foreign Markets. They could not be sold unless at a great loss, and hence the Sum Cee Company was able to do great injury to the struggling farmer who was losing much here by smuggling.

The Yau wo people in the Firm, however, were chafing under the hard terms exacted from them by the Chap Shing and the expenses of the opposition, and overtures were made by this Hong Kong Firm to them to have the Chap Shing secede.

The overtures were successful, and in breach of agreement the Yau wo company left the Man-ho ting chops and amalgamated with the Man-for-Ferry. The new combination was called the Man to Sang.

The Articles of Agreement are dated 9th March 1880, but the matter was settled before then.
