The interpretation of the documents proved very difficult not only wore they couched in very cryptic terms, but the Chinese writing proved very hard to read being in a very abbreviated form, while the composition we often bad and very obscuro. is a first glance meet of the papers appeared perfectly innocent, and it was only the fact that a letter, which I struck fairly early on in my first barried glance through, clearly referred to spium sanggling, and that raw opius had been found on the premises, which induced me to undertake the laberious task of a careful examination and comparison of all the document a found.

The general result of the examination of over

160 decumonės selected from those found is given below.

The minimum amounts of rur opium (including a little prepared) which appear to have been dealt with by syndicate during the last 12 months are as fellows;-

another of the same three with an additional new member the

capital being raised to 245,900, så another one of the

original syndicate joins with an outsider at Haiphong with

mwall expital of £8,000. At times in typical Chinese fashion individual members take over part of the syndicate's consignment at mall profit to the syndicate, and sell them
