as a port.

Further news concerning Canton-Whampoa Railway and Whampoa

Much information regarding the construction of the Canton-Whampoa Railway and the opening of Whampoa as a port is to be found in our previous issues. We now learn that both the Chief Engineer, who is an American, and the Assistant Engineer, who is a European, have arrived at Canton. A survey for the line of the Railway and of the waterways has been completed. The anchorage decided upon measures over 10 li and the shallowest part of it, even during ebb tide, is 20 feet deep; tens of vessels can be at anchor there and it is a suitable spot for navigation. It is proposed to build the Railway before the opening of Whampoa as a commercial spot. The survey of the land for the port of Whampoa has not been undertaken yet. The Railway track will pass over several small rivers, all very narrow - the widest being the Ma River, which is also not very wide, and the work will be easily done.
