presmen of a foreign warship might well do more harm then good. At the same time I trust that it will be borne in aim that the foreign densanity will in the immediate future be at the mercy of a gang of violently hostile and unscrupu- lons ruffima, who will welcome and seek for any and every exouse for harrying and venting their spleen on it; that this gang will be wholeheartedly supported by a Goverment which notoriously mios sport of Treaties and Conaalar representa- tions and that any trivial mé unforeseeable insident may seinad on me an exouse for extravagant demunds and reprisals, 4. If, on the other hand, a strike of foreign servants or a food boycott be enforged, the special sircumstances sof Hoihow are much that the foreign community will be far WOTKO off than in any other Southern port. As you are awar6, the steamer sahnorage is an open roadstead subject to heavy seks, fully four miles from the shore, Hore than half this din- tanee lies inside the 'spit' or bar and the whole channel of nearly three miles is covered at low water (which often laste for 12 hours at a time or throughout the day) by only a few inchem of water, navigable only by punts. Three hours with unfavourable wind and tiče but a full Chinese orew is not an out of the way time for the single journey, It will be a physical impossibility for foreigners to visit or taxe supplies from a ship, which Chinese may be ordered to boycott,

B. If these mERGIES – a strike of servants and a feed boycott - are taken, it my well be found that life on shore will become impossible unless a foreign worchip is stationed permanently here to give sezietanos to a helpless foreign

ɑommunity ...............
