chen ships are lying at moorings goods are, of course,

delivered into junks . In nearly all cases goods go inte

sheds for serting, and the great majority remain in godown under Bankers' orders. Practically all goods, whether from

shed er gedown, go away by water. Goods for export are delivered to ship when lying alongside, either from shed

goods or delay to ships whether the latter

were at
