Boundary Line.

The boundary line indicated on the maps attached to the Convention (maps I) is the shortest line from sea to sea that could be found, measuring only eleven (!!) miles. Following the river from Bref Bay Shan Chan and the road from the latter place to Starting Point, the actual distance is about thirteen (13) miles.

This boundary line is open to great objection. It cuts in two the whole valley of war, while excluding Shan Chan, the ancient and large town, divides the village in the valley hitherto linked together by family ties and common interests and at present separated, so far as the worn extends, by about 100 yards. There is no boundary whatever between Shan Chan and Starting Point. The villages will regard Shan Chan as their central and most important market, where they dispose of their goods and make their purchases, and much difficulty and friction will arise if the villagers on the one stream or road come under British jurisdiction whilst those on the other remain under Chinese rule.
