On my return to French territory I was told that my movements had been followed, as great interest had been excited and some perturbation caused by my presence, due to a rumour that I was commissioned by the Government of Hongkong to enquire into the opium cultivation in Indo-China and Yunnan. This information came to me from various independent sources, the grounds for such belief being:- 1. No other Englishman had made the journey without having some definite business reasons of health were considered a very feeble eI- -planation. 2. I was on a visit to the British Consul-General.
