There are only three months in the year which can be called hot--June, July, and August. Fires are sometimes kept up till the middle of June, and woollen clothing is worn for nine months. The cold weather sets in about the middle or end of September, but the average duration of hot weather does not exceed three months: the remainder of the year is cold, bracing, or genial, according to the season.\n\nDuring this year's hottest season, the thermometer in a good house, facing the harbour, ranges from 80° to 86° Fahrenheit, very seldom approaching 90°, and frequently descending at night to 78°. The average of the month of August is about 83°. (See accompanying Meteorological Register for June, July, and August, 1844, kept at Lieutenant Skead's, the harbour master*.) In September the mercury descends to 74°, and in the early part of October the cold weather season is established: the thermometer stands at 49° to 59° at sunrise towards the end of the month. In November the north wind is piercingly cold and bracing. In December the temperature is still further reduced; the ground is covered with a hoar frost; ice of half an inch thick is general in the plains. In January the thermometer sinks to 20° F.; there is a clear, bracing, azure atmosphere; snow falls frequently, and remains on the east peak, two feet deep, for ten days. February is like January. In March the vicissitudes are great: thermometer 27 at night; days hot; hills around snow-capped. April, easterly winds; sun breaking forth with increasing heat. May, ditto; but fires still necessary to the European.\n\nThe climate of Chusan is far more favourable to health than that of either Ningpo, Shanghai, or even of stations further north. Roman Catholic missionaries say that they are unable to stand the climate and excessive heat of those cities, and that no European can remain there with impunity for a few successive years. Our troops suffered greatly up the Yang-tze-kiang river in 1842: thirteen men of the 98th Regiment dropped dead from the heat of the sun. Fever and ague, diarrhoea and cholera, were rapidly destroying our soldiers and sailors off Nankin. The whole northern region of the Yang-tze-kiang, of the Yellow river, and of the Peiho, is a flat marshy country, inundated as rice fields, or covered with water for a great part of the year, and subject to intense solar heat for about five months, without any mountain or sea-breezes to temper the atmosphere. Chusan has a constant sea-breeze at Tinghae during the summer months from the south-west monsoon; and the varied forms of its mountains and valleys produce a continual change of renovating airs. The thermometer rises at Shanghai to 107° F. in the shade; at Ningpo, as high; and at Chusan, at Lieutenant Skead's, the harbour-master, it rarely rises to 86° F.\n\n* To economise space, this and various other documents, explanatory correspondence, and statistical tables, have been omitted.\n\n## Health and Invalids\n\nInvalids from Shanghai and Ningpo, as well as from Hong Kong, Canton, and Amoy, seek and find health at Chusan. It is of the utmost importance to us to have a healthy station on the coast of China where our troops can be located and found always ready for active service. A regiment from Hong Kong could not endure the fatigue and exposure of one week in the Yang-tze-kiang district; a regiment from Chusan would be found as effective for service as any regiment of the United Kingdom, and might be marched to Pekin if necessary.\n\nAn ice-house is open at Chusan from 1st of June to 1st of September; the daily consumption in July is about 800lbs. a-day by the English subscribers, of five rupees each; they pay also about one farthing a pound for the ice, which is collected in winter, by a Chinaman from the canals around, and deposited in a mud-walled house with a high thatched roof. Conduits carry off the melted ice outside the building; dry straw is thickly strewed over the ice. The Chinese use ice extensively for preserving fish.\n\n## Health of the Troops\n\n--The state of the artillery stationed at Chusan, compared with the dreadful mortality of the artillery stationed at Hong Kong (see my Report on Hong Kong), is very remarkable. There landed at Chusan of the Madras European artillery, in November, 1842, after going through the whole campaign, one captain, one lieutenant, one bugler, three corporals, four bombardiers, and forty-nine gunners, total sixty-two; to these must be added three more, who rejoined from Hong Kong in April, 1843, and six from Madras in November, 1843.\n\nThe deaths up to August, 1844, were only five, viz., four gunners and one bombardier. The mortality may be considered at less than two per cent, per annum. The men are in the most efficient order, and as ready for active service as if they had been stationed at Woolwich the last two years.\n\nFour companies of Her Majesty's 18th (Royal Irish) Regiment have been stationed at Chusan since the conclusion of the war, after being engaged in all the campaigns, and they have not lost by death one per cent. per annum. That portion of the 18th which returned from Amoy were very sickly.\n\nThe admissions into Chusan Hospital for Europeans from 1st January to 31st July, 1844, were 401 (including 104 syphilitic cases); of these but 6 died. Of 60 officers who have resided at Chusan for the last eighteen months, not one has died.\n\nThe contrast between the men of Her Majesty's 18th Regiment, stationed at Hong Kong, Koolungsoo (Amoy), and Chusan, is very striking. Out of 500 men of the 18th Regiment stationed at Koolung-soo* in 1843, there died seventy-five men and two officers; the remainder were very sickly.\n\n+ It is observed in the \"Nautical Magazine\" for 1843, page 7, that the climate of the middle provinces of China is said to be delightful; that of Pekin agrees even with strangers; epidemic diseases are very rare and the ravages of the plague are entirely unknown; but the province of Canton is one of the most unhealthy portions of the country, and such it probably is. The writer is quite correct. The Chinese officials view appointments to the Canton province as a sort of honourable banishment, as we view Sierra Leone.\n\nKoolungsoo is exactly the same geological formation as Hong Kong. We have left the bones of about a thousand gallant men at this wretched and useless island, which might at any time be captured by a 10-gun brig,",

The reduction of the duties on commerce and of the port charges on small coasting craft, and the regulations respecting junks trading with Hong Kong, require further modification; and a satisfactory\n\nbeen following us, and increasing in numbers, from the building known to foreigners as the Five-storied Pagoda. At first they commenced with throwing stones, which endangered our lives, and by some of which we were struck. This attack was aided and encouraged by a number of Chinese, who followed us along the top of the city wall, hurling large stones, which, if they had struck, would have killed those at whom they were aimed. Mr. Jackson was first attacked, by men brandishing swords and daggers; his arms were pinioned, and his gold chain snatched from his neck. The Reverend Mr. Stanton and Mr. Martin perceiving that Mr. Jackson was not following, returned to aid him, and were themselves seized; one of the assailants thrust a dagger at Mr. Martin's breast, two endeavoured to throw him on the ground, and whilst struggling with them, his pockets were rifled. The same course was pursued with Mr. Jackson and Mr. Stanton. The latter lost his watch, the former still retained his, but everything else was taken. The assailants then left us; but the persons on the wall followed us for some time, hurling large stones, and using menacing gestures, and opprobrious language.\n\n\"Proceeding southward beneath the wall to reach the river side, we were again followed and attacked by another party; Mr. Jackson received a violent blow on his chest, and a roof was torn up to furnish large sticks to the assailants. In this attack Mr. Jackson was deprived of his watch; our clothes were torn; and at one time the people were disposed to strip us. No resistance was offered, it was hopeless to have attempted it, not only by reason of the numbers and weapons of the multitude, but also on account of the attack on us from the watch tower and along the walls.\n\n\"The outrage was entirely unprovoked; our own official character, and the presence of a minister of religion, was a guarantee for peaceful conduct; and had his presence not restrained Mr. Jackson and Mr. Martin, bloodshed might probably have ensued. Reaching a more populous part of the suburbs, we rested a moment and then proceeded home; but not unfrequently hearing opprobrious epithets, mingled with cries of \"kill them, kill them.\"\n\n\"From no nation in Europe would British subjects suffer this treatment; there can be no excuse for tolerating a continuance of such conduct towards us in China; and we think there cannot be a doubt that the Chinese Government have it in their power effectually to put a stop, not only to the personal insults which the English daily experience, but also to prohibit effectually the repetition of the injuries we have experienced. By the prohibition to enter the city of Canton, the lower classes of the Chinese are encouraged to regard us as inferiors, and to treat us with marked contumely. No measures, that we are aware of, have ever been taken by the authorities to prevent the constant insults to which the British community are subjected; and which, instead of diminishing by time, or being subdued by acts of kindness, seem to become more frequent and more virulent,\n\n\"Anxiously desirous to maintain peace, and to promote amity, we make this representation, believing that unless the Chinese authorities remedy the evils complained of, the most serious consequences must inevitably and ere long ensue.\n\n\"We have, &c., (Signed) \"R.

A gold chain and gold seal, with armorial bearings. A gold pencil case, cornelian top. A bunch of keys. Two small keys. A silver-mounted walking cane.

The cession of Hong Kong to the British crown, was no gain, in any one point of view, to England; on the contrary, its occupation has caused a great destruction of valuable life, and a considerable waste of treasure; while the retention of the island, even with the most rigid economy, must involve an annual sacrifice, unattended with any beneficial results. We made no arrangement for the revision of the treaty at the end of seven or ten years, when the working of its provisions would have been tested by time and experience; and no stipulations for the protection of those professing the Christian faith. Both these points were conceded to the Americans and French as soon as asked, and we are indebted to foreigners for concessions that ought to have been obtained by ourselves.\n\nHaving briefly reviewed the past, it may now be inquired what is our present position and policy? Do we feel secure of continued peace with China? Do we possess any commanding political position, the retention of which, by a moderate naval and military force, may arrest the direful calamity of another war? Have we any check to exercise over the Chinese, which may compel them to keep peace? developing, by precept or example, any moral control or influence which may surely, though slowly, establish our power, and win the respect and attachment of the Chinese Government and people?\n\nAre we\n\nThese important questions cannot, it is to be feared, be answered in the affirmative. The frequent expression of men of all classes of society is \"another war with China is inevitable; affairs are not yet settled.\"\n\nOn the evacuation of Chusan we shall have no position in China capable of dictating peace; and by the final abandonment of that island in January next, we shall have adopted the most effectual step that could be taken for the encouragement of a bloody, and perhaps disastrous, conflict, of which it is impossible to see the termination, and which it is very probable may engender deep and bitter feelings of national hostility to us, unquenchable by time or circumstances.\n\nAs a Government, we are doing nothing for the inculcation of our language, or for rearing a corps of useful and honest interpreters, European or Chinese; we are not merely negative, but prohibitory, as regards the dissemination of true religion*, although there is no point on which the Chinese Government and people are more indifferent; and on other points we are equally unmindful of our permanent interests.\n\n* The Christian world is indebted to the French mission in China for a revocation of the former imperial edicts against Christianity, and for the promulgation of the following edict, granting toleration and protection to the Christians. A Russian religious and scientific mission has been established at Pekin since 1728, under the sanction of a treaty. The mission is changed every two years. The French have, under the able auspices of M. Lagréné, obtained, I understand, other concessions relative to religion and literature. The \"Journal des Débats,\" in November last, had four columns of a triumphant article on the Christian conduct of France in China, and in eulogy of the now prevalent idea in France, that her mission, or destiny, is the promulgation of Christianity in the distant regions of the globe. M. Lagréné is, I understand, a lay jesuit of high standing. Whatever he be, however he deserves great credit for procuring the following \"edict.\"--\n\n508",

        "content_text": "HONGKONG, 7TH JUNE, 1853. did not dare to attempt a landing. One lorcha got into the midst of the river, but no armed prizes. They \n\nSIR GEORGE BONHAM'S VISIT TO NANKING. (From the North China Herald, May 14 and 21,) The Hermes started on the 24th April, with His Excellency on board, and having in tow the Chinese river craft, under the charge of Mr E. A. Reynolds, in which it had at first been arranged Mr Meadows should proceed alone,\n\nOn the 26th April, the difficulties of the intervening navigation having been overcome, the Taoutae's fleet of lorchas and square-rigged vessels was passed at anchor, about 12 miles on this side of Chin-keang. At about 1 A.M., the Hermes anchored off Silver Island, where both mandarins spoken to the day before and fishermen in the immediate vicinity declared the Insurgents had an outpost. Mr Meadows, on landing in the Chinese boat, found in the temples only a few priests, who, however, stated that certain junks, lying opposite the heights of Chin-keang about a mile farther up, were manned by the Insurgents. To these vessels Mr Meadows repaired, but found them unarmed, and occupied only by two or three men in each, who declared themselves to be the original trading crews, compelled after their capture to lie at that spot. In the meantime the steamer weighed anchor and followed the China-boat; and a great bustle was observed on shore. One or two armed boats on the beach began firing guns, and the Insurgent troops were seen running to man the stockades both there and on the heights above. The cause of all this was soon found not to be merely the appearance of the Hermes, but the approach of the whole of the Taoutae's lorchas, &c., which had weighed anchor and closely followed her; and which appeared to have been sooner descried from the heights than had been done from the steamer, owing to a thick fog on the river which only then began to clear off. The lorchas had all red flags that at a little distance were not to be distinguished from a faded British red-ensign, and after the false proclamations that had been issued about steamers, the Insurgents naturally took the Hermes for the first of an attacking squadron. They accordingly opened a fire on her, and as the lorchas were rapidly nearing and a general action imminent, no course was left but to steam on at once to Nanking, which was done, after a note explanatory of the circumstances had been handed to a boat-man for delivery to the Insurgent Commanders. The Hermes continued to be fired at from junks and stockades on both sides of the river till she had passed Kwa-chow; and we are told that the occasional whizzing of round shot close over the awning of the quarter-deck by no means detracted from the excitement of the singular and highly picturesque scene there. As she had appeared in very suspicious company, and it had become still more necessary than before to convince the Insurgents of our neutrality, she did not even prepare to return the fire directed against her.\n\n...jaground at Silver Island, and had to signalize for assistance; whereon one of her fellows returned, into which her crew, after an hour or two, was transferred. The priests of the adjoining temples said it was then about dark, and that they retired to their dormitories for the night, but were soon roused by a loud report and found the vessel in flames. This account was corroborated by the Insurgents, who said they had not approached her, and that she must have been fired by her crew before being deserted. We are informed that the Mandarins are bound to pay $10,000 for every lorcha destroyed; also that this particular vessel was reported as having on board, when lost, a sum of three or four thousand dollars recently sent up as pay for the fleet. The success of that day is therefore likely to prove an expensive one.\n\nSo far as could be ascertained or perceived by the Hermes on her return a week after, the attack had had no other effect on the Insurgents than to make them dispose their grain junks in a position more protected by their batteries, and to mount more guns in, and make material additions to, the latter.\n\nAfter leaving behind her the fight at Chin-keang on the 26th April, the Hermes steamed on till dark, when she anchored about ten or twelve miles below Nanking. During the night, several large timber-rafts passed her on fire. In the forenoon of the 27th, she anchored off the northern angle of Nanking, below the first battery planted by the Insurgents to defend the entrance to two creeks running under the walls, and in which lay an immense number of large river junks. A great bustle was observed on shore, and a gun or two in the battery began firing at the Steamer, but ceased when two people (that had been taken the preceding day out of a junk) landed with a letter explaining that she had come with no hostile intentions. Shortly after, some eight or ten of the Insurgents came alongside in a small boat, the first to appear on the deck being a good-looking young man, an officer, in a close-fitting red Chinese jacket, who, from his long hair, was evidently a genuine \"rebel\" of old standing, and who, as the first specimen of these much-discussed people met with, was viewed and questioned with some interest by our countrymen. Other boats speedily followed, in one of which Mr Reynolds took a passage on shore, where he met with a civil reception from a leader in charge of the stockaded battery that had just been firing. In the meantime, a reply having been received to the note despatched on arrival, His Excellency sent Mr Meadows on shore to open a communication with some more influential leader. Mr Meadows, who was accompanied on the occasion by Lieut. Spratt, desired on landing to be led to the highest authority to whom immediate access could be obtained. He was in consequence brought, after a walk of about half an hour, into the presence of the two leaders known as the Northern and Assistant Princes, from whom he had a strange reception, followed by an equally extraordinary and very interesting conversation. The two gentlemen returned to their boat, surrounded, as in coming, by numbers of the armed crowd, but meeting with neither molestation nor insult.\n\nDuring the 28th, 29th, and 30th of April, the Hermes lay off the entrance to the creeks aforementioned, only occasionally shifting her position to avoid the fire-rafts sent down nightly by the Imperialists, in the hope, it was believed, of setting fire to the Insurgents' junks. On the 30th, Mr Meadows rode into the city in charge of a despatch, and was joined by a party consisting of Captain Fishbourne, Lieut. Burton, and Mr Woodgate. They were conducted close to the Tartar or Imperial Citadel, to a large private house occupied for the present by the four leaders next in rank to those bearing the title of Prince.\n\nOne of these exercises the functions of Criminal Chief Justice; and when our countrymen arrived, they found him just giving judgment in a case, declared by the females concerned to be one of rape, and for which two men were then condemned to death.\n\nDuring which they were received by the four occupants of the place and other officials, the approach of evening compelled the party to return to the steamer; previous arrangements for proceeding up the river on the next day forcing them to decline a pressing invitation to dine and sleep there that night and be introduced to the Princes in the morning.\n\nThis portion of the Yang-tsze must at all times have much interest. Out of the wide expanse of channel through which the turbid waters of the third river in the world roll rapidly towards the Ocean, rise at the distance of two or three miles from each other two high islands, covered with temples and wood. Between these, known to foreigners as Golden and Silver Islands, the heights of Chin-keang, a high promontory, likewise capped with temple and pagoda, overlooks the stream from its southern bank. The islands were not occupied by the Insurgents; but the heights and large portions of the river-banks underneath had been fortified by stockades. Past Silver Island and up into this scene the lorchas now advanced, and, sailing close in-shore, opened a vigorous and well-sustained fire on the stockades and on the armed boats on and near the beach. There were few guns in the latter, but these the Insurgents, nothing daunted by the sudden attack, coolly manned and discharged on their advancing enemy. In the meantime, the noise of the cannonade was bringing down numbers of their comrades from the city, the officers on horseback and the men running along on foot. Many of these bore banners, a few had matchlocks, but the great majority were armed only with swords and spears. Yet they came rapidly down and planted themselves on the beach in the face of the heavy fire, with a boldness that excited the admiration of our countrymen.\n\nAt day-light on the first of May, the Hermes got under weigh and proceeded up the river.\n\nWhen about 8 miles above Nanking, some 15 or 20 river craft of the Canton build and rig (centipedes) were observed ahead, getting their sails up and going off as if in flight. They were at once perceived to be the Imperialist upper flotilla. The rearmost was soon seen to be proceeding quietly to the steamer and seeing the latter stop, doubtless comprehended there was no hostile intention, and therefore thought proper to fire a gun, which sent its shot over the bows of the Hermes. The boat that had been called alongside was sent on to tell the others that there was no occasion either to fire or to move, as the Hermes had come merely to get information as to the state of affairs. She proceeded on this mission very leisurely, and as two more shotted guns were fired by vessels she had spoken to, Captain Fishbourne ordered the ports to be dropped and the guns prepared. After this, there was no more firing.\n\nPage 310",

Malheureusement, de plus de quatre cents frontons remarquablement sculptés qui surmontaient les portes, il n'en est pas demeuré dix debout, et pas un seul n'est intact.

        "content_text": "( 12 ) \n\n(13) \n\nThe subsoil is broken granite. Even the bricks made of Canton River mud contain iron, though to a lesser extent than the granite. I suggest that an analysis be made of the limestone of the White Mountain Range, near Canton, which, if found sufficiently free from iron, might be imported for our purpose. A good deal of extra work will also devolve upon the Department during several months of the year, in collecting information respecting typhoons.\n\nUsed both for the masonry and the concrete, if not too costly. A fine concrete, of suitable quality, might be made with washed gravel of this island, i.e., the common decomposed granite (taking care to select a coarse, gritty sample), dug from a nullah side, and washed until only the quartz parts remain. This of course would be expensive. I have little doubt, however, that, on careful inquiry, it will be found neither very difficult nor very costly to procure, near at hand or somewhere on the coast, a material that will fulfil all requirements.\n\nThe regular clerical labour will consist mainly of entering the observations and calculations in books and forms for that purpose, transcribing and filing the automatic records, compiling weather changes and storm data, abstracting typhoon-logs, preparing periodical reports, accounts, &c., and general correspondence.\n\nThe Director of the Establishment should be, if possible, someone recommended by the Astronomer-Royal. No one could be more desirable than an ex-assistant of the Royal Observatory, and it is important to bear in mind that the copper articles ought to be of European manufacture, as those made in China contain a large percentage of iron. The Reverend M. DECHREVENS, S.J., director of Zi Ka Wei Observatory, with whom I have entered into correspondence, and to whom I am indebted for some valuable suggestions relating to the Magnetic building, as well as for plans and photographs of his own establishment, is emphatic in his caution on this point, and recommends me \"n'employ pour les portes, les fenêtres, les jonctions, etc., que du cuivre, et autant que possible que des objets de cuivre contiennent une grande proportion de fer. Tout le cuivre qui est entré dans la salle magnétique, et principalement tout ce que nous avons été obligé de faire fabriquer par des ouvriers Chinois, à été essayé au magnétomètre avant d'être accepté, et rejeté invariablement dès qu'il produit sur l'aimant une déviation de quelques minutes d'arc à un pied de distance.\"\n\nHe should have, as First assistant, a practical man, chosen with great care—a man able to observe and compute, acquainted with the mechanical details of the instruments, and competent to execute, or at least direct, any necessary repairs. An assistant of this kind could probably be got from amongst the non-commissioned officers of the Ordnance Survey Companies of the Corps of Royal Engineers, a very valuable body of men. He should receive a salary of $120 per mensem.\n\nTo the Royal Engineers, we may also look for the Second assistant, who should be a good photographer, and be deputed to attend specially to the photographic instruments. Arrangements might, no doubt, be made to procure for him a month's training. He should be paid $75 per mensem.\n\nClerks, of whom two at least will be needed, can be obtained locally. They should be very trustworthy and accurate men. The rest of the employés may be Chinese, namely, a caretaker, to have general charge of the premises; a gardener, for the grounds; coolies, to act as messengers, keep the buildings and premises clean, trim lamps (there being, most unfortunately for the Observatory, gas at Kau-lung), &c.; and night watchmen; also an intelligent man to attend to the Time-Ball, Weather-Signals, and Tide-Gauge at Tsim-shá-tsui, and who should, if possible, be accommodated in the Police Station.\n\nPage 44\n\nThe Barograph, it may also be remarked, must, if possible, have no iron about it, as it will be mounted in the same chamber with the Magnetograph. The instrument-pillars, which should be capped with a slab of slate or marble, may be made from the same material as that of the building itself; but they cannot be built until the instruments themselves, or their exact dimensions, have been received.\n\nFor protection against lightning, a single conductor, carried by a post 25 feet high, erected anywhere near the building, will answer.\n\nFor the Dip-circle, a small pavilion and pier will have to be erected, in a position well removed from the other magnets, such as the ground outside the astronomical building. This, however, as well as the provision, also above ground, to be made for the Unifilar Magnetometer, may be considered later on.\n\nIn the meantime, there will be nothing to prevent the two main buildings from being proceeded with as soon as the working drawings and estimates can be prepared.\n\nIV. Tidal Observations.\n\nThere is one instrument which, though referred to in His Excellency the Governor's despatch already quoted from, has not yet been mentioned in this report, and which might with advantage be added to the outfit, namely, a Tide-gauge, for the purpose of determining the laws of the tides at Hongkong, certain phenomena of which, such as the diurnal and other inequalities, are peculiar and, I believe, but little known or understood. An autographic tide-gauge might be set up in a chamber constructed for the purpose near the Tsim-shá-tsui Police Station, and attended to each day by the man in charge of the Time-Ball and Weather-Signals. Such a gauge, of Sir W. THOMSON's pattern, would cost about £95.\n\nAdmiral RYDER suggested, in 1877, that an automatic Tide-gauge should be set up at Cape D'Aguilar, and placed in charge of the lighthouse-keeper there. This is most desirable, as a means of establishing the direction and rate of the tides, and I recommend that it be carried out unless the engineering difficulties prove too serious, in which case a suitable spot might perhaps be found on or off the headlands nearer to Stanley. A less expensive gauge, of NEWMAN's pattern, and costing about £50, would serve for this station.\n\nV.—Staff.\n\nNotwithstanding that so large a proportion of the various instruments will be of self-registering patterns, the routine work of the observatory will, nevertheless, be very considerable. Even autographic instruments require periodic attention, most of them at least once daily. Time-determinations should be made certainly three or four times a week, and these necessitate a considerable amount of observing by night and computing by day.

        "content_text": "542\n\n(8)\n\napparatus, such, for example, as Seismic instruments, which is pretty certain to be procured before very long. I propose also to provide a small room for the Electrograph, which will be referred to farther on. I have added, at Mr. BOWDLER's suggestion, an upper storey, to be appropriated as quarters for the Director. I recommend that the building be constructed of red bricks, the walls of the lower storey being made 1 ft. 9 in. thick, and those of the upper storey 1 ft. 2 in. thick. The rooms should be 15 feet high, from floor to ceiling, and the roof be made as flat as possible, in order that it may be utilised for some of the meteorological apparatus. Especial care must be given to protection of the building against lightning, for which purpose one conductor should be placed at each angle of the main block, and the points carried at least eight feet above the parapet, the earth ends being sunk below ground until permanently damp soil is reached.\n\nIn laying out the building on the ground, it will be important to obtain accurate orientation, for which purpose I suggest that Polaris be observed with a theodolite at one of its culminations, and a meridian line carefully marked at the observation. The transit-room will need vertical shutters about two feet wide, opening in the north and south walls from a height of four feet above the floor, and extending to the roof; also roof-doors of the same width, so that there may be a clear view of the meridian from the south to the north horizon. The collimator may be placed on a brick pier about fifteen feet to the north of the transit-room, a small room or hut six or seven feet square being built over it, for protection from the weather. It should be approximately horizontal with respect to the transit-instrument.\n\nPiers, isolated from contact with the surrounding soil or any parts of the building, will be needed for the transit-instrument, the electrograph, the collimator, and each of the two clocks. These should be built of red bricks, in cement, and be carried down to firm ground, at a depth of not less than four feet in any case, there resting on good foundations of cement concrete. The largest will be those for the transit-instrument and electrograph, which may measure about six feet by three feet. For the clocks the dimensions will be very much smaller. All of them had better be left unfinished at the floor-level until the instruments and clocks arrive.\n\nA building on a plan somewhat as shown in the accompanying tracing will probably answer as well as any for the present purposes of the Observatory. Lest it be thought that the space provided is somewhat more liberal than is necessary, it may be well to bear in mind the great heat of the summer weather, as well as the facts that ample room will be needed for presses for stores, stationery, records, &c., and that the requirements as to space in an establishment of this kind are certain to grow year by year. If at a future time it should be decided to increase the equipment, the east and west wings could be extended so as to accommodate a Photoheliograph for the record of sun-spots, as suggested by His Excellency the Governor, and an Equatorial telescope. It would be necessary, in this case, to raise the equatorial sufficiently high to obviate any serious interruption of the sky view by the upper storey of the main block; and, for architectural symmetry, the photoheliograph might be similarly raised. But, if a Siderostat in connexion with a fixed telescope should be preferred for gazing purposes to an equatorially mounted instrument, no such elevation would be needed. A building of the kind above suggested would probably cost, with piers, &c., about $10,500, to which $500 must be added for furniture and fitments. A small additional building, to contain quarters for a caretaker, servant and coolies, with a store, workshop, kitchen and other offices, and connected with the main edifice by a covered way, would cost say $2,400 more. Both of them may be at once designed in detail, and proceeded with, should the scheme here proposed receive the approval of the Government.\n\nII-Meteorology\n\nThe proposal to establish a meteorological branch of the observatory, under skilled management and supplied with the best modern apparatus, commands approval for two reasons. In the first place, as Dr. DE LA RUE has indicated, such an institution will furnish the science with valuable and much needed data, from a locality well suited for the observation and collection of facts appertaining to certain phenomena of special interest. Secondly, it cannot fail to have a direct and practical value, as being the means of affording security, by its predictions and weather warnings, to life and property, in seas navigated by vast numbers of native and foreign vessels, but subject during four or five months of the year to rotatory storms of appalling violence and danger.\n\nIts operations, like its purpose, will be twofold. There will be, to begin with, the systematic observation and record of the ordinary phenomena of pressure, temperature, humidity, rain, sunshine,\n\n(9)\n\nwind and hydrometeors, such as are usual in observatories of the first order; together also with observations of atmospheric electricity.\n\nSo lately as last February, Dr. WARREN DE LA RUE furnished the Colonial Office with a list of the instruments necessary for these purposes in a first-class meteorological observatory. The list comprises a Barograph, a Thermograph, an Anemograph, a Rain-gauge, a Sunshine Recorder, and an Electrograph; together costing about £397.\n\nOf these, the Barograph, or self-recording barometer, will be accommodated in the Magnetic basement, to be presently described.\n\nFor the Thermograph-i.e., self-registering (photographic) dry and wet bulb thermometers-a special hut and shed will have to be put up in the grounds of the observatory. This may, however, be left until the instruments arrive. The Thermograph, it will be observed, does away with the necessity for maximum and minimum thermometers, as the changes of temperature are recorded unceasingly.\n\nThe Anemograph, or self-recording Anemometer, is an instrument the best and newest forms of which are constructed to register continuously the direction, pressure and velocity of the wind. We are not told by Dr. DE LA RUE what kind will be sent. A small turret, to carry the vane, &c., for the instrument, of whatever pattern, may be erected centrally over the front verandah roof of the main building, and the spindle be carried through the roof to the registering apparatus placed in a small chamber or compartment on the upper verandah, as shown in the drawing. The turret must be provided with a lightning conductor.\n\nThe Rain-gauge, to judge from the high price (£60) set against it in the list, is doubtless a self-recording instrument, or pluviograph. At Greenwich, an Oster's Anemometer and Rain-gauge form a joint apparatus, by which wind and rain are registered on the same sheet of paper. This instrument needs no special provision beforehand.\n\nThe Sunshine Recorder is a contrivance for marking and measuring the duration of sunshine. The instrument in use at Greenwich consists of a solid glass ball four inches in diameter, supported in a hollow hemispherical bowl of three inches' radius, the two surfaces being separated from one another by a space of an inch. The rim of the bowl is marked like a sundial, and the interior surface is lined with a strip of prepared mill-board. Whenever the sun shines out, its rays, brought to a focus by the glass ball, burn a mark on this strip. The intervals and interruptions of sunshine are thus recorded. This instrument may be set up on the roof of the main building, for which purpose no special preparations are needed.\n\nThe Electrograph of Dr. DE LA RUE's list, though not described, is doubtless a THOMSON'S Quadrant Electrometer, fitted for photographic self-registration. It has been shown that I have provided a small room for it on the ground floor of the main building, the window of which can be darkened to the extent required. The collector for this instrument may be attached to a small mast on the roof, above the room; and the wire or rod be carried thence to the instrument, the pier for which should be capped with a slate or marble slab.\n\nThe whole of the above, it will be noticed, are autographic instruments, and need only occasional attention, for changing the record-sheets, pointing the pencils, &c. The labour of observation is thus reduced to a minimum.\n\nThe second branch of work appertaining to the Meteorological Department will be the observation and collection as far as possible of facts and phenomena relating to typhoons, both for the protection of marine interests and for the purpose of contributing bit by bit to our knowledge of a subject at present but little understood. It will include also the giving attention to the phenomena of the monsoons.\n\nFor weather warnings, the telegraphic cables connecting this port with others on the coast, and with Manila, will furnish most valuable aid. The Manila cable will be of special service in this respect. Past observations seem to show that the typhoons which sweep the Southern China sea for the most part originate in a region the centre of which is situated about a thousand miles (in round numbers) to the south and east of the Philippines. Of those which take Luzon in their course, some make for Hainan and the Gulf of Tonquin. Others pursue a more northerly direction, towards Formosa and",

        "content_text": "544\n\n(12)\n\ndient is broken granite. Even the bricks made of Canton River mud contain iron, though to a less extent than the granite. I suggest that an analysis be made of the limestone of the White Mountain Range, near Canton, which, if found sufficiently free from iron, might be imported for our purpose, and used both for the masonry and the concrete, if not too costly. A fine concrete, of suitable quality, might be made with washed gravel of this island, i.e., the common decomposed granite (taking care to select a coarse, gritty sample), dug from a nullah side, and washed until only the quartz particles remain. This of course would be expensive. I have little doubt, however, that, on careful inquiry, it will be found neither very difficult nor very costly to procure, near at hand or somewhere on the coast, a material that will fulfil all requirements.\n\nThe same rule as regards the exclusion of iron must be followed in every detail of construction. All nails, locks, keys, hinges, bolts, hooks, gratings, pipes, &c., should be of copper, brass, or zinc; and it is important to bear in mind that the copper articles ought to be of European manufacture, as those made in China contain a large percentage of iron. The Reverend M. DECHREVENS, S.J., director of the Zi Ka Wei Observatory, with whom I have entered into correspondence, and to whom I am indebted for some valuable suggestions relating to the Magnetic building, as well as for plans and photographs of his own establishment, is emphatic in his caution on this point, and recommends me \"n'employer 'pour les portes, les fenêtres, les jonctions, etc., que du cuivre, et autant que possible que des objets, 'clous, gonds, serrures, charnières, venues d'Europe, ne pas se fier aux Chinois pour cela: tous leurs 'objets de cuivre contiennent une grande proportion de fer. Tout le cuivre qui est entré dans notre des ouvriers 'salle magnétique, et principalement tout ce que nous avons été obligé de faire fabriquer par 'Chinois, à été essayé au magnétomètre avant d'être accepté, et rejeté invariablement dès qu'il produisait 'sur l'aimant une déviation de quelques minutes d'arc à un pied de distance.\"\n\nCL\n\nThe Barograph, it may also be remarked, must, if possible, have no iron about it, as it will be mounted in the same chamber with the Magnetograph. The instrument-pillars, which should be capped with slabs of slate or marble, may be made from the same material as that of the building itself; but they cannot be built until the instruments themselves, or their exact dimensions, have been received.\n\nFor protection against lightning, a single conductor, carried by a post 25 feet high, erected anywhere near the building, will answer.\n\nFor the Dip-circle, a small pavilion and pier will have to be erected, in a position well removed from the other magnets, such as the ground outside the astronomical building. This, however, as well as the provision, also above ground, to be made for the Unifilar Magnetometer, may be considered later on.\n\nIn the meantime, there will be nothing to prevent the two main buildings from being proceeded with as soon as the working drawings and estimates can be prepared.\n\nIV. Tidal Observations.\n\nThere is one instrument which, though referred to in His Excellency the Governor's despatch already quoted from, has not yet been mentioned in this report, and which might with advantage be added to the outfit, namely, a Tide-gauge, for the purpose of determining the laws of the tides at Hongkong, certain phenomena of which, such as the diurnal and other inequalities, are peculiar and, I believe, but little known or understood. An autographic tide-gauge might be set up in a chamber constructed for the purpose near the Tsim-shá-tsui Police Station, and attended to each day by the man in charge of the Time-Ball and Weather-Signals. Such a gauge, of Sir W. THOMSON'S pattern, would cost about £95.\n\nAdmiral RYDER suggested, in 1877, that an automatic Tide-gauge should be set up at Cape D'Aguilar, and placed in charge of the lighthouse-keeper there. This is most desirable, as a means of establishing the direction and rate of the tides, and I recommend that it be carried out unless the engineering difficulties prove too serious, in which case a suitable spot might perhaps be found on one of the headlands nearer to Stanley. A less expensive gauge, of NEWMAN's pattern, and costing about £50, would serve for this station.\n\nV. Staff.\n\nNotwithstanding that so large a proportion of the various instruments will be of self-registering patterns, the routine work of the observatory will, nevertheless, be very considerable. Even autographic instruments require periodic attention, most of them at least once daily. Time-determinations should be made certainly three or four times a week, and these necessitate a considerable amount of observing by night and computing by day. Frequent periodic magnetic observations for absolute values, which are tedious, difficult and highly complicated, will also have to be made and computed. Constant attention must be given to the adjustments of the extensive and miscellaneous apparatus, to winding and regulating clocks, ascertaining the errors of the instruments, and keeping all clean and in good order.\n\nA good deal of extra work will also devolve upon the Department during several months of the year, in collecting information respecting typhoons.\n\nThe regular clerical labour will consist mainly of entering the observations and calculations in the books and forms for that purpose, transcribing and filing the automatic records, compiling weather exchanges and storm data, abstracting typhoon-logs, preparing periodical reports, accounts, &c., and general correspondence.\n\nThe Director of the Establishment should be, if possible, some one recommended by the Astronomer-Royal. No one could be more desirable than an ex-assistant of the Royal Observatory. I do not think we can expect to get a competent person for less than $300 per mensem. He should have, as First assistant, a practical man, chosen with great care—a man able to observe and compute, acquainted with the mechanical details of the instruments, and competent to execute, or at least direct, ordinary repairs. An assistant of this kind could probably be got from amongst the non-commissioned officers of the Ordnance Survey Companies of the Corps of Royal Engineers, a very valuable body of men. He should receive a salary of $120 per mensem. To the Royal Engineers we may also look for the Second assistant, who should be a good photographer, and be deputed to attend specially to the Magnetic instruments. Arrangements might, no doubt, be made to procure for him a month's training at the Greenwich Observatory in the routine of the magnetic work. He might be paid $75 per mensem.\n\nClerks, of whom two at least will be needed, can be obtained locally. They should be very trustworthy and accurate men. The rest of the employés may be Chinese, namely, a caretaker, to have general charge of the premises; a gardener, for the grounds; coolies, to act as messengers, keep the buildings and premises clean, trim lamps (there being, most unfortunately for the Observatory, no gas at Kau-lung), &c.; and night watchmen; also an intelligent man to attend to the Time-Ball, Weather-Signals and Tide-Gauge at Tsim-sha-tsui, and who should, if possible, be accommodated in the Police Station.\n\nVI. Finance.\n\nIt is now possible to form an idea of the first outlay and the yearly cost of maintenance for the whole establishment as above designed, which probably will not differ much from the following, though the estimates for the buildings can only be considered as approximate, no detailed drawings and calculations having yet been made.\n\nAstronomical Apparatus, £500 say $2,667\n\nMeteorological do., 397 2,117\n\nMagnetical do., 424 2,262\n\nTime-Ball do., 400 2,133\n\nTwo Tide-Gauges, 145 773\n\nTwo ROBINSON's Anemometers, for Victoria Peak and Cape D'Aguilar, \" 12 64\n\nFreight and Insurance of the above to Hongkong, 100 533\n\nMain Observatory Building and Out-houses, Furniture and Fitments, 12,900\n\nMagnetic Basement, 500\n\nConnecting Observatory with the Kau-lung- Expenditure on the Grounds and Approaches, Fencing, &c., Telegraph Line to the Time-Ball, including 4,500\n\nCable, say, 1,600\n\nand cost of Speaking-Instrument, &c., Miscellaneous Erections, as for the Time-Ball, Weather-Signals, Tide-Gauges, Meridian-Mark, and parts of the Meteorological and Magnetic Apparatus, 250\n\nan-má-ti Telegraph Line, 250\n\nLamps, Observing Seats, &c., 3,000\n\nTotal Prime Cost (Approximate), $83,600 or £6,300\n\n(13)",

Hush and Farey's men skirmished up the ridge to the left of the Maxims, and Rox's company covered the guns, firing volleys into the valley. The murderous fire of the Maxims speedily drew the fire of the Troopships. Our whole line was now advancing down the valley.

The whole left attack of the enemy was now turned on the Western Ridge and the Maxims.\n\nAs soon as the enemy appeared on the beach our Artillery opened on them again, swashing and sinking numbers of the boats. Still the large junks took much pounding from our pop-guns, and if it had not been for them, not a man would have escaped. Rox's square was never broken, though fearful gaps were made in it. Sir John Harrington, Rox himself, and Lt. Goward were killed. Hayward also, whilst working the Maxim. The whole ridge was a mass of combats--the remains of Hush and Farey's companies, in knots of five and six, were fighting with clubbed muskets, or stabbing with the bayonet, ringed in with white-capped, green-coated swartus. The wounded were firing between their comrades' legs. All his crew were killed with him.\n\nNeither the Russian nor our own Artillery could now take part in the conflict on the Ridge for fear of injuring their own men.\n\nIt was a very stubborn contest till Hill's and Hartrum's men, with some of Tanham's gunners, brought relief, and swept the enemy down to the beach, when the Maxims were manned again, and fire re-opened; the fire from the one in the square had never ceased. Over 700 Russian dead were counted here afterwards, and 186 British were killed or wounded. A large part of the Maxim fire had been effective in the Valley. The flank attack had consisted of 300 men all told, including the Volunteers with their Maxims. Wreckage was floating all over the bay. Nine field guns were captured (all that had landed), and 160 prisoners, all mostly wounded. It was a great victory,--another such and the garrison would be annihilated.\n\n## COUNTING THE COST\n\nHush and Rox's companies had suffered before the saddle was reached. Farey (R.E.) and Hush's companies had ceased to exist, and only 9 Volunteers out of 40 were alive. Lt. Blackpen was the sole surviving officer. Some 1200 Russians escaped on board the troopers, that slipped into action and went to sea, firing their stern guns. Book-keeping ceased after that, as you can readily understand by the sequel.\n\nThe total forces General White brought into action numbered 75 officers and 2,614 rank and file, made up as follows:\n\n| CORPS | Strength | Killed | Wounded | Fit for duty after action |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | Officers | Men | Officers | Men | Officers | Men | Officers | Men |\n| West Borks | 26 | 980 | 12 | 538 | 6 | 92 | 8 | 350 |\n| H. K. Regt. | 23 | 985 | 8 | 246 | 3 | 153 | 12 | 586 |\n| Asiatic Artillery | 4 | 126 | 1 | 34 | 1 | 27 | 2 | 65 |\n| R. Artillery | 4 | 130 | 1 | 41 | 1 | 28 | 2 | 61 |\n|  | 3 | 75 | 2 | 56 | 0 |  | 1 | 32 |\n| R Engineers' | 1 | 34 | 0 | 27 | 0 | 36 | 1 |  |\n| Marines | 13 | 100 | 1 | 32 | 1 | 14 | 2 | 25 |\n| Volunteers | 1 | 374 | 3 | 61 | 1 |  |  | 15 |\n| Total | 75 | 2,614 | 30 | 1,047 |  |  |  |  |\n\nOf the staff, Belman was killed. McHorman died of his wounds. Col. Razor, R.A., and Capt. Pensilian (Army Pay), temporary A.D.C., were severely wounded. Both the other A.D.C.'s (Captains Dovehand and Lunt) were slightly wounded, but remained on duty.\n\nSome six thousand coolies, under the Public Works Department and Royal Engineer staffs, were set to work on the field of battle to bury the dead in trenches. Considerably over 3,000 Russians were buried; some accounts put the figures as high as 3,500, but Rook (the Water Authority), who kept such accounts as were attempted at the time, and was not a man prone to exaggeration, reported 3,100 buried in trenches; some score or so of scattered bodies got a shallow covering of earth where they were found, and possibly some were not buried at all; but the bulk of the dead were strewn thickly together in the valley as the tide of battle had rolled up and then receded. On the beach the enemy lay very close. For days afterwards corpses came floating up. All men who had not been in action were sent up to relieve those who had. The survivors lay down to sleep in the batteries - guards having been posted. Excellent and plentiful meals were sent out to the troops by the residents, with a liberal supply of ...\n\nThe West Borks had borne the brunt of the battles, and their loss was proportionately great; their officers killed were, one Major (poor Rox), three captains, five lieutenants, and three second lieutenants, amongst the latter Gordon's own boy.",

The difficulty must be solved by the creation of a new city by resumption, re-sale, and reconstruction; and with the steady operation of such a trust as is proposed there is no reason why this necessary improvement of Victoria should not be effected within twenty years, at a moderate cost to the inhabitants, who, it must be remembered, have the happy distinction of bearing the lightest burden of taxation of any colony in the British Empire. (Applause.) \n\nIn the elementary principles of sanitation by preventing surface over-crowding we are far behind the Chinese, who even in their largest cities keep down the general height of their houses to one story. When Victoria has been reconstructed I hope that the four-storied tenement-house will have ceased to exist. But no reconstruction of the city, or advance of material wealth should be allowed to interfere with the development by education of the minds and character of the people. This is the foundation upon which our hopes must rest for the stability of the colony of the future, and it is not being neglected. As the result of a commission on the subject, a new code has been arranged that will improve the present system. \n\nPetitions were received from the European residents praying for the establishment of a school for the separate instruction of European children, and from Chinese residents praying for the establishment of a school for the education of the better classes of Chinese. Both proposals were approved. The English school has been established in Kowloon by kindness of Mr. Ho Tung, by whose permission a school just completed by him, at considerable expense, and presented to the colony as a mixed school for both races, was devoted to the purpose of a school for Europeans, the Government undertaking to replace it by building a school in Yau Ma Tei, which is now in course of construction. The school for the children of the better classes of Chinese has been established by private enterprise.\n\nIt was with great pleasure that I saw at last accomplished the opening of additional treaty ports and ports of call on the West River. The proposals now sanctioned by Treaty were formally accepted by the Tsung-li Yamen in two interviews that I had with that body at Peking in 1900. They had the approval of Sir Robert Hart, and also of the late Li Hung Chang, but the committee appointed by the Viceroy to report upon them reported unfavourably and the matter was shelved, in spite of frequent protests, until the whole position was considered by the Treaty Commissioners, and the proposals were definitely accepted. The value of Waichow on the East River may not be so apparent at present, but it was added at my suggestion, as in my opinion it may one day be a valuable link in the direct trade between the rich East River valley to the north, and Hongkong, the land communication between Waichow and Wai Chau presenting no engineering difficulties. (Applause.) \n\nDuring the eventful five years of my administration Hongkong has been brought face to face with typhoon, war, pestilence, and famine, and I look back with admiration to the behaviour of the colony in every contingency. Abounding charity and generosity accompany the buoyant energy of the community, and I find that within the five years over $425,000 have been subscribed in aid of the widows and orphans of our soldiers and sailors who fell in the South African war; in aid of the famine-stricken people of Kwangsi; in aid of the sufferers by the destructive typhoon of 1900; and in aid of the fund for the erection in London of a memorial to our late revered and beloved Queen, and this in addition to the local charities of the Chinese portion of the community, of which but few realise the extent, or the economy and ability with which they are administered.\n\nIt has been my pleasant duty to open two hospitals within the past year, built by the Chinese community at an expense of $140,000, and affording accommodation to 136 patients. An equally pleasant task has been the opening this month of the Victoria Jubilee Hospital for Women and Children on Barker Road, built by joint subscription and grant from Colonial funds, in commemoration of the Jubilee of Her Majesty the late Queen. \n\nI will not weary you with further figures. I desire but to emphasise some of the salient features of the time during which I have been Governor of the Colony. I have especially dwelt upon the treatment of the problem to be solved on the New Territory because on the experience of the 400,000 Chinese in this Colony is formed the Chinese estimate of British justice and of the security that is to be found under the British flag, and as surely as the water of the great rivers flow from the snow-capped mountains to the sea, so surely will the estimate of our qualities as a nation flow from sea to mountain, following the lines of trade to their extremest limits. To every one of us who lifts his eyes from the immediate exigencies of the business of the hour and looks into the future, this conviction carries with it a sense of great responsibility, and apart from our national sense of justice compels us so to deal with the Chinese people with whom we come in contact as to satisfy them that in Hongkong they will find a Government fair and just, hoping to shape the destinies of a free community where commercial activity is sustained and developed by that security without which no commerce can expand. (Applause.) \n\nI shall leave the Colony with a lasting and grateful remembrance of the assistance and support that I have invariably received from the members of this Council, which includes all the members of my Executive Council. Fair and independent criticism no honest Government need fear, nor prudent Governor ignore, and the changes between rough-hewn Bills and the finished Ordinances bear witness to the care with which the members of this Council, especially the unofficial members, have examined the measures introduced, and the readiness of the Government to yield to sound objections. In a Council whose discussions and debates have been actuated by a strong sense of public duty, and into which no element of personal rancour has ever entered, my duties have been light indeed, and in bidding this Council farewell I do so with a lively sense of gratitude for the happy relations that have always existed between us, and an earnest prayer that the interests of the many people who form the community of this great port and Colony will always in the future be safeguarded by members as able, impartial, and single-minded as you, gentlemen, to whom, as your President, I now say good-bye. (Loud applause.) \n\n## \n\nHon. Sir Paul CHATER-Your Excellency, Speaking on behalf of the unofficial members, I can confidently say that we have all listened to your farewell speech with equal interest and regret, with great interest because of the important questions with which it deals, with personal regret because we recognise that it is the last occasion on which you will address this Council. I can assure you, Sir, that we most cordially reciprocate the expressions of goodwill that have fallen from you. (Applause.) The relations between the head of the Executive and this Council, during your Excellency's tenure of office, have been marked with the best of feeling, and I am sure that all my colleagues will agree with me that every opportunity has been given by you for the ventilation and discussion of debatable questions. For my own part, I can truly say that I have always received the greatest consideration at your hands; that for any subject I desired publicity you have afforded me every facility and any proposals that I have had the good fortune to be able to put forward for the benefit of the Colony have received your prompt attention and your earnest support.\n\nYour Excellency will leave this Colony in many respects much better than you found it. Public works have made some progress, but perhaps more has been done to initiate them than actually to bring them to completion. You have sown where your successor will reap. Works commenced in your time will be completed during his term of office. The bounds of the Colony have been extended, the population considerably increased, its importance enhanced, and its revenue very largely augmented, so largely, indeed, that the sanitary improvements, which are now so very necessary, may be gradually carried into effect without increasing the taxation. That progress will, I am sanguine, continue. Neither temporary commercial depression nor the recurrent outbreaks of plague will be able to permanently...",

        "content_text": "Hei Shui Ho.\n\nChu Lo.\n\n12\n\nIndia the range is shown as following round the concave side of the river bend; but I believe the surveyors did not actually explore the bend, and the trend of the range is different from what is shown on the map. Across the top of the north section of the Lichiang plain the mountain runs in a north-east and east direction. The ramifications of these spurs fill up a great part of the bend, but immediately at the north foot of the Snow Mountain there is a valley sloping down from east to west to the Yang-tsze, while the main back-bone of the range is continued on the left bank of the river in northerly direction towards Chung Tien, and so on to Thibet. The Yang-tsze has forced its way through the range by a stupendous gorge, and the snow mountain of Lichiang may be described as the tip of one of the tails of the Himalaya, cut off by the river from the back-bone connecting it with Thibet.\n\nI commenced my exploration of the bend, which I regret that time did not permit me to complete, in splendid weather. On leaving the town of Lichiang there is a view of the other or west side of the valley. From the col which is crossed by the Ashi road, a rocky spur rises up in a north direction; as it rises it becomes more bare and jagged, and finally culminates in a great precipice, on the top of which is a snow nevé, and, apparently, a glacier; above this are six tooth-like peaks of snow, the third of which, counting from the east, is the summit, which I believe to be somewhat over 17,000 feet. On the east of and below the main peaks, there are a number of perfectly naked, needle-like pinnacles. The mountain, as far as I could observe, is wholly composed of limestone.\n\nWe marched up the lonely valley north of the city in full view of this majestic sight. After four hours' march the valley narrows, and we crossed a low spur (10,400 feet) into a wide grassy plain on the east flank of the mountain, which was covered with fir trees up to the foot of what I christened the Great Eastern Glacier; by this glacier I think that a skilled mountaineer would reach the summit without much difficulty. If ever a Yünnan Alpine Club is formed, here is a peak worthy of its virgin ambitions.\n\nAt six and a-half hours we turned slightly east, and descended through a forest of pines to a stream issuing from the east side of the mountain, and here we camped at 10,000 feet. I shot a specimen of the large wood snipe, the only living thing to be seen at this height. A furious wind blew down from the mountain all night, and in grey, raw weather we resumed the march on the next day, first crossing a forest-clad spur to Hei Poa Shao, which consists of a single log shanty, where copper from a neighbouring mine is smelted, and then ascending another great spur, along the side of which we continued to march till 3:30 P.M. We did not see a human habitation; the pine forests, festooned with moss, and the bamboo brakes inclosed us for miles, only here and there opening to give glimpses of wooded spurs descending east to the Yang-tsze. The road, however, is frequented by a small, but constant, traffic of Thibetan caravans bringing drugs and musk to Lichiang, and taking tea, salt, and sugar and cloth back to Thibet. Emerging from the forest in the afternoon, we saw a wall-like precipice of limestone, distant about 10 miles to the north-east; there was evidently a river at the foot of it, and the guide informed me that it was the Yang-tsze flowing in a south direction to Yung-peh.\n\nOur regular stage would have been Min Yin, 34 miles from Lichiang and 34 days from the north of the Yang-tsze bend, and 4 days from Yung Ning, on the other side of the Yang-tsze, where there is a native Chief with the rank of Prefect. Instead of proceeding to Min Yin we turned west, and after a mile's walk through maize and buckwheat, we found good quarters in a Lashi village. The people here confirmed what we had learned at Lichiang about the bend. They offered to take us to the riverside in a short day's march, going either east or west from their village. If we went west we should find the river flowing north, and if we went east we should find it flowing south. We accepted the former alternative.\n\nThe village was at the head of a wide funnel-like valley, which appeared to cut across the north feet of the great mountain. Down this valley we proceeded with the snow hill on our left, and a confused mass of lower ranges on our right. After four hours' easy march past several Lashi villages and much cultivation, we reached the considerable village of Taku, situated in a wide fan-shaped plain, but there were no signs of the river. However, our guide took us across some downs beyond the village, and quite suddenly we came upon a precipitous defile, with sides some 100 feet deep, at the bottom of which was the Yang-tsze flowing due north with a steady current. The high-water mark was 20 feet above the December level; there is no regular ferry here, but it is possible to scramble down to the water's edge and then be floated across on four inflated sheep-skins, the motive power being supplied by a naked Charon, who swims and pushes the skins and the passenger on the top of them before him as he goes. One mile south of this primitive ferry the river issues from the stupendous gorge by which it has cut its way through the snow range, and at about 1 mile further north it enters another gorge.\n\n13\n\nThis remarkable open valley of Taku is largely composed of gravel and conglomerate. It would seem to have been the bed of an ancient glacier, descending from the Snow Mountain.\n\nThe next day the hills were covered with mist, and a steady rain was falling, but as time was limited we started an ascent of the mountains due south of the village, apparently towards the main summit. At 7,000 feet the rain became heavy snow, and a fierce and bitter wind assailed us from all quarters. No path was visible, and it was impossible to know where we were going, except that we were making a continuous ascent in a south direction. After 6 hours of this kind of thing the question of what was to become of us in this desolate storm-swept forest became interesting, but luckily we had a reliable guide, who at length brought us safe through the whirling mist and snow out on to our former route, near Hei Poa Shao, and we were forced to share the hospitality of that tumble-down hostelry with a number of Thibetans. These interesting people, with their red woollen mantles and embroidered leather boots, are better studied in the open.\n\nUnder a roof they exhale a very ancient and fish-like smell. On Christmas day the dazzling sunshine returned, and we went back over our old route, through deep snow to Pei Sha market, 5 miles west of Lichiang, where the gentry placed at our disposal the temple of the God of Literature. This market has a population of about 800, and is a good example of the manner in which Chinese influence has worked upon the Minchias and Lashis. The people have adopted clan names in the Chinese fashion, but they are clearly not Chinese clan names—e.g., Mu and Ho. At the door of the Chinese temple were floating Thibetan flag charms, and some of the literati who have got Chinese degrees can hardly speak the language of Han.\n\nFrom Pei Sha I passed over westward into the plain of Lashi, where a Lashi farmer put us up in his clean and comfortable wooden house. The circular lake in the middle of this plain is receding, and the alluvial soil round it gives excellent crops of rice, wheat, and opium.\n\nOn the 27th December, undeterred by a heavy fall of snow, I set out to visit the ferry of Ashi, on the Yang-tsze. We ascended another wooded spur of the great mountain which closes the west side of the Lashi Valley to 9,400 feet, and as we descended through pine forests by a rough stone road the weather lifted and we were rewarded by glimpses of the river, a terraced valley along its banks far below us, and, on the other side of the river, the cloud-capped mountains which block the way to Thibet. In the scrub under the pines as I descended I killed two fine silver pheasants.\n\nJust at the bottom of the descent the high road from Lichiang to Weisi (six days) branches off to the west from the Ashi road, which latter we followed, winding through a large village and passed many terraced fields to the water's edge.\n\nThe little valley of Ashi is famous for its opium. In the open season and when the Chunglien road is not closed by snow, there is a considerable mule traffic passing the Yang-tsze at this point; ponies, drugs, wool, furs, musk come out, and cottons, sugar, salt, tea, and wheat wine, for which Lichiang and the district round is famous, go in to Thibet.\n\nThe Yang-tsze at Ashi is far more like the river in Szechuan than it is at Taku. The ferry is well served by a large flat-bottomed barge. In December the river here was 120 yards broad, but in the summer it must be over 200 yards; both banks are fringed with a narrow but fertile valley, but about 2 miles north of Ashi the banks contract, and the river enters the vast and impassable gorge, from which it issues at Taku for a short space. I made the height at Ashi to be 5,450 feet, or 150 feet higher than at Taku.\n\nThe Yang-tsze is known all over North-west Yunnan as the Chin Chiang (Gold River) or Chin Sha Chiang (Gold Sand River). In the bend it is also known as the Ashi River, because the chief ferry is at Ashi.\n\nThe geographical and ethnological features of this country deserve a thorough exploration by competent traveller with plenty of time. The late autumn and the early spring are the best times for travelling; in the dead of winter I suffered from the cold, and was hampered by constant snowstorms. It is necessary in the bend country to inquire beforehand if or where there is a village or grass near the end of the stage to be performed.\n\nReturning from Ashi to our farmer's house for the night, we started the next day in a south direction, skirting the west shore of the lake, with flocks of fowl flighting over the water on the left of us, and pheasants crowing on the hills to the right. Passing some large villages and a handsome lamasery, we said good-bye to the Lashi, and...\n\n[2021 h-1]\n\nE\n\n1.\n\n250",

Indeed, most of the roads in this part of Yunnan are very good as compared with the high road to Burmah.\n\nAfter five hours' march, by which time we had reached 9,900 feet, we passed over into the Mekong basin. There is no water to be got on this ascent, and, consequently, no villages. On reaching the top of the pass an extensive and characteristic view of a large part of West Yunnan was unfolded. At our feet, 1,800 feet below us, was the narrow valley of Chien Chuan, and beyond it a series of regular parallel ranges capped with snow, and running north and south we descended into the valley that afternoon, and struck the main road from Ta Li to Wei Hsi.\n\nJust north of the hamlet of Po Chueh, where we camped, there is a beautiful tarn of rich blue water, which has been banked up as a reservoir. From Po Chach to Chien Chuan is an easy day's march down the valley (south), which is not over a mile in breadth; the villages which fringe the foot-hills on both sides become larger and more numerous as we approach the city, where we were put up by the hospitable official.\n\nJust south of the city the valley opens out into a wide and roughly-circular plain, closed by high mountains on the south, or Ta Li side. This plain is some 3 miles wide, and very fertile. A large part of it is occupied by a large lake.\n\nThe whole district (\"chou,\" or sub-prefecture) of Chien Chuan is officially stated to contain 10,000 families, of which two-thirds are located in the main valley which we bad descended. The city population is about 7,000, and the streets are crowded on market day. The country folk are nearly all Minchia, but they speak Chinese and wear Chinese dress. There are no export products here, except a little surplus rice. The people are lazy, and get enough to live on from the padi-fields without planting winter crops. In fact, the only industry is charcoal-burning.\n\nIn September 1902 Chien Chuan valley was visited by an alarming earthquake; about fifty persons are said to have been buried under the ruins of a village 4 miles south of the city, and the yamên itself was left in such a crooked, cracked, and dilapidated condition that it presents an excellent type of the Government whose Representative dwells within its walls.\n\nThere is only one small outlet for the waters of the Chien Chuan valley: this is at Tien Wei, 15 li to the south of the city. The Mahommedans at Ta Li, during the rebellion, reduced Chien Chuan by damming up this outlet and so flooding the whole place. Throughout the dry season the padi-fields near the lake are deep in wet mud, and this condition attracts vast numbers of wildfowl, especially mallards. The sportsman who does not object to being occasionally stuck in the mire can walk up wildfowl in the stubble like partridges at home.\n\nThe Chien Chuan people, though they have no industries, have a temper of their own; and they have hitherto successfully resisted the establishment of li-kin or Prefect's tax stations in their valley.\n\nFrom Chien Chuan across the Mekong and Salwen Basins to Teng Yuch.\n\nWe left the city of Chien Chuan by the south gate, with the intention of making as straight a line as possible to Teng Yueh, passing near the west limits of Chinese jurisdiction, and gaining some knowledge of the great parallel ranges which run north and south, near the banks of the Mekong and Salwen Rivers.\n\nA good paved causeway runs down the valley south of Chien Chuan. At 1 mile the road to Tien Wei and Ta Li, which passes near the lake, divides off to the south, and we turned south-west to the village of Lo Yu, situated in the foot-hills which fringe the valley. From this point we took a last look at the snowhill of Lichiang (which is a conspicuous object from the Chien Chuan valley), and ascended through open, hilly country past a series of small tanks, where water is stored for hill cultivation. Extensive views of the mountains to the east and south of the Chien Chuan valley are obtained, until we entered a narrow, wooded gorge, and, passing a col (8,100 feet), descended to the clean little village of Shih Tzu Chiao. From this point we enter the valley of Yang Ts'en, which is half a mile wide, and runs east and west for 4 miles, containing half a dozen villages and some good padi lands. From the west end of this valley we commenced an ascent, and stopped at the mountain hamlet of Shui Tzu Ping. In the course of this day's march we had seen nothing but Minchia.\n\nOn the 3rd January we began, from Shui Tzu Ping, the first of the great ascents which intervene between Teng Yueh and the Yang-tsze basin. This pass is known as\n\n15\n\nrange which\n\nthe Shih Chung Shan (\"Stone Bell Hill\"), and takes the traveller over the forms the west boundary of the Chien Chuan Lake basin. The pass is 9,900 feet high, and is distant from Shui Tzu Ping 4 miles, or 12 hours for laden mules. The road is littered with a dilapidated pavement, and leads through dense forest the whole way. At the top of this trying ascent we found two old gentlemen living in a hut, and a cock pheasant living in their cabbage-garden. The former supplied us with information and the latter with dinner. The descent on the west side to the valley of Lan Chou is down an exceedingly steep and abrupt spur for 1,600 feet, and then by a stream in a close gorge to the village of Chiang Wei (which boasts a police-station), and across a stream out on to the valley.\n\nThe Lan Chou plain is watered by the head streams of the Yangpi River (which is crossed at Yangpi, the tenth stage from Teng Yuch on the Yünn m-fu road). Further south the river receives the outpourings of the Ta Li Lake, and finally joins the Mekong.\n\nThe valley of Lanchou consists of broken country with a number of small mamelons. It is about 8 miles by 4 miles, and contains a dense population of Miachia in about two dozen villages.\n\nThere is a market at Ma Teng. We put up at the village of Kan Ho Tien, at the foot of the formidable range on the west of the valley. This range we negotiated on the following day. Owing to the presence of a variety of \"spooks\" it is considered to be the most formidable pass in this part of the country. If the traveller while ascending utters the word \"cold,” he will be at once seized with a deadly chill, if not frozen stiff; if he utters the word \"hunger,\" he will be at once griped with an excruciating stomach-ache.\n\nCO\n\nI was warned against going aside from the road for any necessary purpose without taking my bearings with a compass, and observing the position of the sun lest I should offend the Shan Wang,\" or Deity of the hills. Though all this must be true, as it was told to me by Lanchou men who are constantly making the ascent, we found The the \"Yang Lu,\" or road of the sun, as it is called, by no means a difficult pass. ascent to the top from Lanchou took three and a-half hours' steady marching up a broad road partly paved. The summit of the pass is 12,200 feet. At the foot of the hill are fir shrubs, and higher up bamboo scrubs and rhododendrons. At the top is a hut where fatigued travellers are regaled with hot sugar and water. The last 1,500 feet of the ascent was over snow and ice.\n\nOn the right of the pass, and quite 2,000 feet above it, is a bare inaccessible-looking peak. The range divides the Yangpi River basin from the main stream of the Mekong. It also forms the west boundary of the district of Chien Chuan, and on the west side of the range we re-enter the extensive district of Li Chiang Hsien, which includes the right bank of the Mekong.\n\nFrom the top of the Yang Lu Pass a fine view is obtained of the great mountains on the west side of the Mekong, forming a regular and majestic range, whose feet are washed by the tributary waters of the Salwen and Mekong, which flow on the west and east of it. In January there was at least 1,000 feet of snow on the range, but in summer it is said to disappear.\n\nThe descent from the Yang Lu Pass in a west direction is down a convenient slope with a stream on the left and majestic spurs swelling down to the plain on both sides of the track. At 9,500 feet there are broad patches of cultivation on the hill-sides and little hamlets of log huts inhabited by Lisaw and Minchia; the marketing is done chiefly by the women here; the Lisaw ladies are conspicuous by their dirty white hempen kilts and the shells in their head-dress, while the Minchia women wear turbans and long cotton gowns.\n\nAt miles we reached the valley of Pei Ti Ping, an irregular strip of broken land surrounded by mountains and watered by a stream which flows into the Mekong soon after leaving the south end of the valley. There are a few Chinese pedlars to be seen on the market of Pei Ti Ping, but the bulk of the people are Minchia, who are engaged in the salt trade, and own a considerable number of mules,\n\nOn the 6th January we crossed the last range which separated us from the Mekong. The road formerly led past ninety-nine hills, ascending ninety-nine terraces, guarded by ninety-nine dragons, but this fearsome stage need no longer be made, as Yang Yu Kuo, the famous General who took a prominent part in the recapture of Ta Li from the Panthays, made another road across the mountains, which is much frequented by salt This road is well paved, and runs in and out and round about through the range, which is of a different character from the mountains which we had crossed. The first part of the day's march was spent in deep gorges between precipitous limestone\n\ncaravans.\n\n251",

        "content_text": "# \n\n6 \n\nThe water-divide between the Ta-ping and the Shweli Rivers is located close to the point where this minor divide joins the main N'Maikha watershed. Under the Lang Ya peak, there is a track leading from Tan Tsa to Ma Li Pa at the head of the Tien Tan Valley (see below) by a pass often closed by snow (10,800 feet) and so over to the headwaters of the Chi Pwi River. \n\nBetween the Manung Pum and the Lang Ya tracks, there is no recognized path over the hills. \n\nNo claims were seriously put forward to any territorial or other rights beyond the watershed on behalf of the Tien Tan Headman. \n\n## II. Tien Tun and the Chi Pwi River. \n\nA surveyor having been detailed to map in the Tan Tsa Valley, our party proceeded in sections, and by various routes, eastwards to the Tien Tan Valley, which is watered by the most westerly of the three main sources of the Shweli or Lung Chiang, the other two being the Ming Kwang (the middle or main source) and the Ta Tang or eastern source. The Ming Kwang and the Tien Tan join near Ku Tung bazaar, 22 miles north of Tengyueh, and the river so formed joins the Ta Tang Stream near Chuchih bazaar, 16 miles east of Tengyueh, from which point the joint river is known as the Lung Chiang to the Chinese. \n\nThe Upper Tien Tan, the Ming Kwang, and the Ta Tang are little more than mountain streams; except after heavy rain, they are everywhere fordable, and nowhere more than 50 yards broad. \n\nThe Tien Tan Valley is under Headman Tsai, who represents the eighth generation of his dynasty. He has no sort of administrative force or machinery except that he has a few village Headmen under him; his feebleness and incompetence even in such matters as levying his subjects to repair the roads excited the Taotai's bile, and Tsai came to me, as an old friend, to ask how he had best deprecate the great man's wrath. \n\nOur camp was formed at Ma Li Pa (6,500 feet), the last village on the track to the Chi Pwi, situated in a very beautiful valley surrounded by hills and under the east flank of the Lang Ya Mountain. Just below Ma Li Pa, the three brooks which form the Tien Tan Stream join: \n\n1. To the west, issuing from the east of the Lang Ya Mountain, is the Mo Shih (\"Stone-grinding\") Brook. I ascended this through dense jungle to the crest of the N'Maikha watershed, 7 miles from Ma Li Pa. On the pass, I met three Lisu, who said that proceeding by this track to the N'Maikha, theirs would be the first village reached, and it was three days' march for a laden coolie. \n\n2. To the east, the Main or Hei Tao Yuan source of the Tien Tan, which springs from a hill on the watershed known as the Sisters Hill, and flows through a romantic gorge past several small villages subject to Tien Tan to Ma Li Pa. \n\n3. Between these two, the Pau Wa Brook, which flows from the pass leading from the Tien to the Chi Pwi Valley in the N'Maikha basin. \n\nThe Headman Tsai made the same statement to me as he had made the year before, namely, that he claimed a kind of overlordship over a few villages of Lisu along the headwaters of the Chi Pwi, based apparently on the occasional exchange of presents and on the fact that Chinese incursions over the watershed had occasionally taken place. He admitted, however, that since the disturbances caused by the Panthay rebellion fifty years ago, no such exchange of presents had taken place, and that most of the Lisu on the Upper Chi Pwi had dispersed. The number of 100 Lisu families subject to him, which he had given me last year, included all those who had moved over from the Chi Pwi to the Tien Tan side. \n\nThe following day, however, the Taotai gave me a \"map\" of Tien Tan, which professed to have been drawn up by Tsai. It was a work which possessed the merit, if not of accuracy, at least of imagination, and went to prove that the Taotai's geography, like Dogberry's reading and writing, comes by nature. With the exception of a part which had been \"cribbed\" from me, the map was totally inaccurate, but it showed the whole of the valleys of the Shi-Ngaw, Tumi-maw, and Chi Pwi Rivers as subject to Tien Tan. This includes part of the ordinary jurisdiction of the Myitkyina district. The Taotai further informed me that the Mali-kha was the true Irrawaddy and the proper frontier. This was so contrary to Tsai's statement to me the day before that I inquired what had happened, when it appeared that the map and the claim was the work \n\n7 \n\nof Mr. Chu, the Taotai's interpreter, who had been on the Southern Boundary Commission with General Liu and had given much trouble by his obstructiveness and impertinence. Shortly after, however, this young gentleman was discovered by the Taotai to be levying a private contribution in the neighbouring bazaar, as was the custom in the good old days of General Liu. The Taotai ordered him out of the camp in disgrace, and we heard no more of him. \n\nI told the Taotai that these so-called claims of Tien Tan were entirely beyond discussion, and that I must refuse to talk about them. The Taotai acknowledged that Tsai had no sort of control over the country in question and no documentary evidence to support his map, that Tsai was hopelessly incompetent, and that the claims might be considered as withdrawn. I therefore hope that no more will be heard of them or of the Mali-kha frontier. \n\nThe claims of Tien Tan to the headwaters of the Chi Pwi seemed to call for examination on the spot. So, accompanied by Mr. Lakin, one of the surveyors, and a Chinese deputy, I went over the Pau Wa Pass towards the N'Maikha. This pass is the easiest of all those which cross the divide, being only 7,800 feet and approached by a broad track ascending across downs. The crest is only 7 miles from Ma Li Pa, and after a short descent on the other side, we struck one of the headwaters of the Chi Pwi. The country is very wild and grand; precipitous mountains covered with patches of dense forest and bamboo brake descended to the narrow broken valley of the river. A lofty snow-capped ridge which forms the divide on the right bank of the Chi Pwi was a conspicuous object. It is known locally as the Kao Liang Kung, a common name for a high peak in this country. The first village passed on the N'Maikha side was Chang Yin Kon, 6 miles from the Pau Wa Pass. It consisted of three small wretched huts, inhabited by Lisu. Five miles further on, we passed Chung Shan, which used to give its name to the whole district, but now consists of only four huts and some deserted gardens. Descending along the Chi Pwi for 4 miles further, we passed Lu Pi, where we found extensive remains of orchards and paddy-fields, a fact which seems to support the statement that formerly the valley was cultivated by a considerable population of Lisu. \n\nThree miles beyond Lu Pi is, or rather was, Shi Pao; this was the last Lisu settlement down the Chi Pwi. We found that the only inhabitants were a cock pheasant and a covey of partridges, the villagers having all dispersed. Doubtless much of this desolation was the work of the Chinese, who came over and ravaged this country in 1902. \n\nFrom Shi Pao, the surveyor ascended the Kao Liang ridge to a pass 9,000 feet, whence he was able to connect his work with the first Kachin (Maru) village of Lachang, the position of which had already been fixed by Mr. Hertz's party in 1900. We then returned to Ma Li Pa after a pleasant excursion of five days; on the way, we met a party of Marus from the Lower Chi Pwi, who had been across to the Tien Tan Valley to trade. \n\nNone of these Lisu hamlets on the Chi Pwi now give anything to Tien Tan, for various reasons, of which the principal is that they have nothing to give. There are no permanent Chinese residents in the Chi Pwi Valley, but in the open season, some wood-cutters go over from Tien Tan. \n\n## III. Ming Kwang Valley, Hparè, and Teu Chu. \n\nFrom Ma Li Pa, the main camp was then moved east across the hills into the Ming Kwang Valley, where the Taotai took up his abode at the official residence of Tso, the Fu Yi or Chief of Upper Ming Kwang, while Mr. Leveson and I formed camp about 14 miles higher up in the Valley of Cha Shan Ho, a brook which runs down from the pass leading from Ming Kwang over the watershed to Hparè. \n\n| Event | Location | Description |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Taotai's abode | Official residence of Tso, Upper Ming Kwang | Fu Yi or Chief of Upper Ming Kwang |\n| Mr. Leveson and I formed camp | Valley of Cha Shan Ho | 14 miles higher up, brook runs down to Hparè |\n\nThe arrangements which the Regent of Ming Kwang (the Fu Yi being a minor) made for the Taotai were no better than Tsai's in Tien Tan, and the Regent felt a good deal of the rough side of the Taotai's tongue. Neither he nor the young Fu Yi came to see us, though I understand that this omission was by order of the Taotai; but several Lashi Kachins from Hparè, who had been to the Ming Kwang bazaar, came into Mr. Leveson's camp, including one of the Headman's sons. They gave valuable information, which persuaded Mr. Leveson that we should meet with a friendly reception at Hparè, if the Chinese could be kept from insulting or molesting the natives. \n\nA survey party having been despatched to map in the watershed along the west of \n\n436 \n\n31",

The distances are, however, extremely deceptive; the ridge was much further away than I supposed, and night coming on and a wolf making his timely appearance in the distance, I was obliged to beat a hasty retreat. I crossed, however, the Chagansala as it emerges from the north-west corner, and found a stretch of marshy ground quite half-a-mile broad on the other side.\n\nKisna Tai is one of those which are a present to the Government for all time; they receive no subsidy. No satisfactory explanation was given to me why the people had so given themselves to Government, but having done so, they are not squeezed, nor do the officials grumble if the tents are old or dirty. Possibly the immunity from squeezing and also from all taxation tempted the people, and they were wise; the work is light, and only four months a year, and some years there are only a few despatches to be carried, in no case very much work. The people are well-to-do; one saddle was entirely plated with silver, and this is the best test.\n\n## September 2\n\nThe snowline was still lower again this morning. The morning was cloudy, with a west wind blowing straight off the snows, and this and frequent hail showers made riding an impossibility. Leaving the basin by a low pass, we descended slightly into the valley of the Borborussu, a tributary of the Chagansala, and which joins the latter shortly after this has left the Kisna basin. We then ascended gently but steadily; at mile 2, a track leads off up the valley to the south, down which rushes the Borbor water. Crossing the stream, which was knee-deep and icy cold, we kept westwards; the valley contracting at mile 3 to a defile, from which we emerged at mile 4 onto another broad valley of the same nature. Reaching the top of the easy ascent at mile 7, we descended by a steep rocky defile to the Tai of Kolsatta at mile 11½. Two miles before reaching this, another gully on our left brings down a mountain stream, and this flows past the Tai, which is situated close to where the stream emerges onto another valley. This Tai is also a present to the Government and seems to be run in common with the next Tai (a most unusual proceeding), for after a rest, we resumed the march with the same animals and men. Continuing westwards, we reached the new valley a mile away, and bending south-west, we found ourselves in a valley some 7 miles long and 2 broad, with a stream flowing from south to north, and which, after being joined by the Kolsatta stream, issues from the valley by a sharp bend behind the mountains through which it then works in a northern direction. This river is the Saksau, one of the largest tributaries of the Kobdo River. Touching the river at mile 2¼, we turned south along the valley to mile 6, the end of the valley, and where the stream issues from the mountains. Here we had to ford it. It is some 50 yards broad and a foot deep and flows swiftly over a stony bed. It maintains its width throughout the valley and, splitting at times into channels, waters a large area and is the cause of a great amount of good pasturage. Having crossed the stream, we bent south-west, and half a mile later entered a narrow gorge some 150 yards wide but narrowing in places to 100, down which rushes a small stream, the Yoltakussu, to join the Saksau. The bleak mountains rise 200 feet precipitously and unbroken on either side. Up this gorge, we steadily climbed to mile 10, where a few yourts blocked the way. Here we camped for the night at Yolta. It was a curious spot to choose for a Tai, with the wind whistling down the gorge. An interesting feature of the afternoon was some Hassack graves. These are simply mounds of stones. It was a sign that we were drawing near to the districts of these wild Mahommedans. They were the first graves we had seen since leaving China, for the Mongols (as is known) dispose of their dead by casting them out to the dogs and vultures.\n\n## September 3\n\nWe had now to take to yak as a means of transport; these we found to be able to carry as much as camels. They travelled more slowly, however. Leaving the gorge at once by a cleft, we ascended in a south-westerly direction to get round a snow-capped ridge which barred the direct road. Reaching the top of the pass at mile 3, we turned west to reach the top of another pass at mile 4. We were now encircled by snow-clad mountains, the centre of the Altaishan. Descending slightly from the second pass, we kept along a level valley, which at mile 7 began to ascend again to drop abruptly into the ravines where the Burdum, one of the principal headwaters of the Saksau, rushes down. Crossing this in a westerly direction, we climbed up the precipitous opposite bank and steadily ascended alongside a little brook. Suddenly we came to a small oval-shaped lake with a circuit of a quarter of a mile and from which the brook issues; keeping this lake on our right, we still ascended, and a quarter of a mile later reached another lake twice as large, draining into the lower lake and fed by a small mountain brook at the north-west end. Steadily climbing, we reached at \n\n99 \n\nmile 9 yet a third lake at the foot of a loaf-shaped mountain, the whole face of which seemed to be one swamp and watercourse. This lake collects the drainage off the hills and sends it down to the Burdum, but not by way of the lower lake. On the banks of this third lake is the Tai of Hotolgoi, which, if two languages can be intermixed, means very appropriately \"riverhead.\" This is the first of the series of Hassack Tais, none of which receive any subsidy from the Chinese. Here we should have said goodbye to the Mongols, but all the camels and ponies of the Tai having gone forward with the guns, we induced the men of the last Tai, for double pay, to do another journey tomorrow. The Hassacks talk no Mongol or Chinese, and if we had not had a Hassack-speaking man with us, we should have been in a sorry plight. The Hassack (or Kirghiz) tents are similar to the Mongol yourts, only perhaps more slovenly constructed. The natives wear a peculiar boot; this is a long leather one such as the Mongols use; the foot, however, is flexible, and over it is drawn another shoe; this latter has a heel some 4 inches high, which raises the foot off the ground in a grotesque way; it is said to be convenient for mountain use, though the reverse would have been my opinion. It was strange to leave the Mongol courteous snuff-bottle greeting, to which we had grown so accustomed, for the Mahommedan form of salutation. It was an impressive sight at sunset to see here, far away in the centre of the Altaishan, in Central Asia, each Mahommedan coming out of his tent to pray. The reverence for a Supreme Being struck one with peculiar force after the meaningless and thoughtless whirling of the Mongol prayer-wheels.\n\nThe wind increased to a gale at night, and most of the tent collapsed. As this was pitched on sand, it was like sleeping in a sandstorm of the worst type. In the middle of the night, I got a rude shock from a hairy face being thrust into my own; one's first thought was of Hassack raids; it was, however, only a harmless goat which had sought refuge from the storm.\n\n## September 4\n\nClimbing a shoulder of the loaf-shaped hill, we dropped about three-quarters of a mile to a lake half a mile long, draining into a small lake below, the latter probably draining into the second of the lakes passed yesterday. This lake collects the drainage of the hills, and the rest of the ascent, to mile 2¼, was chiefly over marshy ground and streams; all the stagnant water was covered with ice half an inch thick.\n\nIt took us one and three-quarter hours to reach the top of the pass, which is very steep. Turning to the north-west, we descended to a lake which serves the same purpose on this side of the ridge as do the small lakes on the other side, all the slopes of the hills being practically watercourses. Keeping along the near shore, we reached the end at mile 6¾; the side of the lake being probably 3 miles long, its width about a quarter of a mile. We then descended the gully by which the lake sends its waters forward by means of a stream, insignificant at first, but gaining strength as it descends. Half-way down this, a hollow in the hills holds the water again in a narrow lake, and numerous other pools are formed before the stream finally reaches Daunnoor. Leaving the stream at mile 1¾, we passed over hills and valleys to reach the south-westerly end of the series of lakes, known as Daunnoor, which drain into each other and send forth a stream into the Kobdo River. Here is the Hassack Tai of the same name at mile 2¾ at the foot of the wooded slopes of the main range of the Altais. The forests of fir afford a pleasant change to the eye after the entirely bleak hills we have traversed for so many days, while the charm of the landscape is increased by the beauty of the setting of the blue lakes surrounded by snow-clad mountains.\n\nWe were detained at Daunnoor several days, as all the transport animals had gone forward with the guns. There was, however, plenty of mutton and goat's flesh to eat, while, by way of distraction, the Hassack language could be studied. Unfortunately, there was no game; occasionally deer are seen here, but never bear.\n\nIn winter, the Hassacks pack their tents and go to the foot of the other side of the mountains, coming back in the early summer. In winter, these valleys are deep in snow, and not a soul lives in them. There is a delightful Mongol joss here, a grotesque marble statue of the Buddha, some 5 feet high, which is covered with camel's hair, rags, cash, grease, and other votive offerings of Mongols. The figure is surrounded by a palisade of fir logs 6 feet high. The Hassacks all seem to differ in appearance; this is doubtless because they are of no special race but have drifted into these mountainous ranges from afar. Yesterday, one was black-bearded and swarthy, the Abdul Hamid kind of face; today, we have a fair one with blue eyes and a pale moustache, more like a Russian than anyone else.\n\nIt may be said that the main range of the Altaishan is the limit of the Kobdo Government, also the boundary between the Mongols and the Hassacks, for though the",

        "content_text": "As the name implies, but rather a settlement, with houses spread here and there over the sabana. Puebloviejo was the site of an old Spanish settlement, and the numerous walls still standing seem to indicate that the sabana was at one time divided up in the form of small allotments between many settlers. The chief occupations are now coffee growing, and cane cultivation for the production of panela.\n\n## Coffee\n\nOn December 18th, while awaiting oxen to proceed up the mountain, I visited several of the cafetales and cañaverales in this locality in the company of the local agriculturists. The coffee is cultivated without system, and the industry is conducted on similar lines to that I have described regarding that industry on the Sierra Montaña. The coffee is gathered in one picking, ripe and unripe berries alike, and it is placed in the cherry on flats to dry. It is subsequently prepared for the market by manual labor with a pestle and mortar, or by a contrivance consisting of two large wooden wheels drawn by oxen or horses around a circular wooden trough. There are about twenty growers in this locality whose production averages from 15 to 250 quintales per annum, but there are others who produce in even lesser quantity. The total estimated production of coffee in the Puebloviejo region is 2,000 quintales per annum. The growers could augment their production very considerably, if they cooperated and adopted mechanical means of cleaning their coffee, and devoted the time now wasted by the existing methods to the improvement and extension of their plantations. The time occupied in spreading the coffee out on the flats, the recollection, storing, hulling, winnowing, hand picking, etc., involves these poor people in continual labor almost throughout the year before they can dispose of their crop. I have placed these growers in touch with the makers of suitable coffee machinery, and am hopeful that they will adopt more modern methods of dealing with their crops, to their personal advantage and that of the industry generally. The cultivation of coffee is a matter that sadly needs more attention; trees should be methodically planted from plants raised in nurseries from selected seed. Suitable shade should be furnished and excessive shade reduced, and trees pruned when necessary. I noted the mancha or coffee-leaf disease (**Sphaerostilbe flavida, M**) very rife in some parts; badly attacked trees should be rooted up and burnt, and trees less affected sprayed with Bordeaux Mixture or Copper Carbonate. Coffee is grown by the Arhuacos much higher than San Sebastian, where it is at this time of the year attacked by frost. The trees in these higher altitudes are of compact habit and robust growth, and I observed that they were bearing heavy crops of coffee of doubtless exquisite aroma.\n\n## Panela\n\nThe lands of Puebloviejo are very suitable for sugar-cane, and an excellent quality of panela is here produced. The production of this product here, as in other parts of the Provinces of Valle Dupar and Padilla is limited to the small consumption and to the high cost of animal transport.\n\n## Ginger\n\nPlanters would do well to consider the question of devoting attention to the cultivation of ginger in these parts, a product of higher value than coffee or panela. It is further a cultivation which requires very little outlay, and consequently appropriate for the man of small means. The value of good quality Jamaica ginger ordinarily runs in the vicinity of one shilling per pound, a more remunerative price than coffee affords.\n\n## Road to Fundacion\n\nThe great drawback to agriculture in this region is the absence of a road by which produce could be exported to a market centre. It is said that in the days of the Spanish occupation there existed a road connecting Puebloviejo with the port of Santa Marta. The natural route for such a road is along the valley to Fundacion, and proposals have been made, and, I understand, approved by the Government, to open up such a road. There is no doubt that such a communication with the Santa Marta Railway is necessary and essential to the development of this region. I am informed by responsible persons that richer lands are to be found down the valley from Puebloviejo, lands suitable for cacao, cotton, sugar-cane and also coffee, and that such a road would result in the opening up of a new and rich agricultural region. Time prevented me from making a journey down this valley, so I am not able to confirm the information furnished me.\n\nPage 24\n\n## PUEBLOVIEJO TO SAN SEBASTIAN\n\n### Cinchona\n\nOn leaving Puebloviejo on December 19th, we crossed the sabana, and at once commenced a pretty steep ascent up the grass-covered mountain slopes. On reaching an altitude of some 1,590 metres above sea level I noted the first Cinchona trees in the forest lands. Here there are two species represented and bark of both species has been collected for analysis and investigation, one is known as the white and the other as the yellow variety. The latter, in the opinion of the Indians, affords the best quality bark.\n\n### Curará\n\nIn these same forest lands, in the locality known as Chinchiqua, is also found a tree known locally as Curará, which is employed locally as a febrifuge and a stomachic, and has a considerable reputation. A sample of the bark of this tree has been collected and forwarded to Europe for investigation in order to ascertain if it really possesses the medicinal properties attributed to it, and whether it may prove of any value in medicine.\n\n### San Sebastian\n\nContinuing our journey we reached a stream midway between Puebloviejo and San Sebastian. From here we continued the ascent, and crossing the paramos we reached San Sebastian late at night, owing to delays with the oxen. The vegetation of the páramos reminded me very much of that of the páramos of Bogotá of similar altitude. The Pega-pego or Pego-mosta (**Befaria ledifolia**), one of the most striking plants of the páramos of Bogotá, is here represented by a much more handsome species which has large handsome flowers resembling an Azalea. San Sebastian is a collection of small white-washed houses with narrow streets, a church and a square, all enclosed within stone walls. At either end there is an entrance with large wooden doors that are kept locked day and night, admittance only being gained by calling the Arhuaco comisario charged with the keys. The principal occupants are the Arhuaco Indians, but a Government representative is also stationed here, and there are also a few civilized residents engaged in trading. San Sebastian may be termed the city residence of the Arhuacos of this region, for apart from their town quarters, most of them possess a country house and rosa in the valleys or hills adjacent.\n\n## THE ASCENT TO THE SNOWS\n\nOn the morning following our arrival at San Sebastian we lost no time in requesting transport to continue the ascent. We were fortunate in enlisting the sympathy of Juan Bautista Villafaña, an intelligent Arhuaco Indian who had recently returned from a first visit to the Capital of Bogotá whither he went on a representative mission to His Excellency the President of the Republic. Despite his assistance, however, we were not able to leave till the afternoon of the 22nd. During this delay I got an insight into the character of these interesting people, their most pronounced characteristic is that of exceeding tardiness. Nothing whatever will induce them to hurry, having no appreciation whatever of the value of time.\n\nSeñor R. Garcia T., of San Sebastian, kindly accompanied me in the journey to the snows, the guide from Valde Dupar and four Indians including Juan Bautista and his uncle. We took two transport oxen which two Indians on foot looked after. The first day we did not get beyond Circayuca, as we did not reach there before p.m., and here Juan Bautista and his uncle left us to secure horses for themselves.\n\n### Ceroxylon Palms\n\nCircayuca lies at about 1380 metres above sea level, and from here we obtained first glimpse of the beautiful Ceroxylon palms, which find their lowest limit at about this altitude. These palms are apparently distinct from the **Ceroxylon andicola** of the Quindio, as they are much more slender, having a bole only 20 to 30 centimetres in diameter, though they grow up to a height of about 30 metres. Like the **Ceroxylon andicola** the trunk is covered with a wax, but evidently a much thinner layer, and it is doubtful if in quantity sufficient to be of any commercial importance. These palms are abundant in the valleys and ravines within the bamboo zone, and form the most striking feature in the vegetation of this part. The Indians employ the trunk of these palms for fencing their rosas when stone is not used. Another interesting tree found within the bamboo zone is a species of **Podocarpus**, known locally as Santocana; various species of **Podocarpus** yield valuable timber of the pine class.\n\n### Duriamenya Camp\n\nLeaving Circayuca we continued to ascend until we reached the ridge of the mountains which lie on the San Sebastian side of the Duriamenya valley, and here in an exposed position, commanding a beautiful panorama of the tower hills and of the Cordillera in the distance we camped for the night. Juan Bautista here possesses a small hut with rosa and cord!. The hut we found unoccupied, and this shelter helped to protect us from the bleak cutting wind which we experienced here. From the roza we obtained vegetables to augment our rations for the evening meal, which we cooked in the hut in a suffocating smoke produced by the only available fuel-stalks of the frailijón. The site of this camp was 2,0 metres above sea level, and the temperature at ... in the morning registered 5 degrees centigrade. Sharp frost occurred during the night, and we were obliged to break the ice which had formed over a small stream in order to obtain water for domestic purposes in the early morning. This was our coldest camp of the ascent, and my calontano guide of Valle Dupar, who had been converted to cook, found his duties particularly objectionable, as with benumbed fingers he tried to wash the cooking utensils and plates. It is said that this ridge in the winter time is covered in snow, but at this time of the year the snow limit is much higher.\n\n### Duriamenya Valley\n\nOn the 24th we descended the valley of Duriamenya, through which flows the river by that name. The ridge of hills which divides the Duriamenya from the Mamanacanaca valley appear to be very barren and rocky in the upper parts, but the valley of Duriamenya affords fair grazing lands, and supports a good number of cattle belonging to the Indians. Leaving this valley on the left we rounded the hill range which separates the valley from that of Mamanacanaca to gain access to the latter. About half way between these two valleys we obtained the first view of the snow-capped mountains, a panorama of remarkable beauty. In the foreground we saw a number of wild horses or caballos simarrones as they are called locally; we had just passed a herd of wild pigs and a flock of wild sheep, once domesticated but grown wild and now unapproachable. Before entering the Mamancanaca valley we had to round precipitous hills on foot leading our animals. This was the most trying part of the whole journey, or it seemed so to me as I performed this day's journey with a sharp attack of fever. I wondered how it was possible for the oxen with their loads to pass over these precipitous cliffs, and ...\n\nPage 20\nPage 131",

        "content_text": "# The Sierra Nevada\n\nIt says much for the oxen of the Sierra Nevada and the Indians leading them that they did so without mishap. The mountains here present a greyish hue, due to the abundance on the grassy slopes of a plant with silvery foliage, known locally as Viru-vira. This plant is a Composite, and is in repute as being a medicinal plant of considerable merit.\n\n## Mamancanaca Valley\n\nThe Mamancanaca valley is a very narrow one, and has no comparison with the Duriamenya valley, having a poor and stony soil. It is covered with scrub, Opuntias, Agaves, Furcraeas, Dodonaea viscosa, shrubby Solanaceae, plants in fact characteristic of dry and arid lands. In the upper part of this valley we camped for the night, and being Xmas-eve and short of provisions we shot, with the consent of the owner, Juan Bautista, a young bullock to replenish our larder.\n\n## The Ascent\n\nOn Xmas-day, my fever having abated, we started early for the snows, continuing our journey up the Mamançanaca valley for some distance, and then by way of the paramo of Jansabanaca to the peak known as Tayrona or Chundwa. My companions were Señor Garcia, Juan Bautista and his uncle and another Indian who travelled on foot. We rode as far as it was possible, and then tethered our animals to the rocks, to continue on foot. At this point we halted for a few minutes to take a little refreshment, and to admire the beautiful scenery. Here before us stood out the snow-capped peaks with their glistening slopes of frozen snow, crystal streams and cascades born of the melting snow. Below in the deep and distant valley on the right we saw the lakes of Janmeina, and noted cattle on its banks grazing in peaceful contentment. Janmeina is a chain of three lakes, and the picture from the snow-white peak down to the valley with the lakes, is one of unique and magnificent beauty and well worth a special visit of the artist. On walking to the other side of the ridge on which we stood we noticed also several picturesque lakes within closer view.\n\nThe upper part of the Sierra Nevada is exceedingly rocky, and the climb, though by no means difficult, was very arduous and trying. Climbing over huge boulders, rounding others too large to climb, and then crossing land slides composed of shale or finely broken rock, down which one might easily be carried hundreds of feet below, was the manner in which we made the final part of the ascent. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon I reached the snow line, and shortly afterward the Indian who was carrying my instruments and camera, but Señor Garcia and the other two Indians, fatigued with the climb, returned to the point where we left the horses. I have no doubt that I should have been left alone to complete the latter part of the ascent, had not the Indian who accompanied me been charged with the responsibility of carrying my outfit. On reaching the top of the ridge at the snow line another panorama of remarkable splendor met our view, another range of snow-capped peaks and numerous little lakes situated at varying altitudes. More beautiful in grandeur appeared this entrancing panorama before us than the peak on whose ridge we stood. A false step here and one would be carried down the glacier hundreds of feet to the abyss below. Having taken the temperatures we descended the mountain, as it would have been quite impossible at that late hour of the day to have climbed the highest point of the peak, being obliged to return to our base camp in the valley. Apart from the question of time I doubt whether it would have been possible to have reached the summit of this peak without climbing equipment. Hurrying on, therefore, as fast as the rocky road permitted, we duly regained the point where our horses had been left, and where the other members of our party were awaiting us, and continuing our journey we reached our base camp at 7.30 at night.\n\n## Flora of the Sierra Nevada\n\nThe splendor of the mountain scenery of this upper zone, the snow-capped peaks and ridges, the picturesque lakes and lagoons quaintly situated at varying elevations, cannot be denied. Regarding the flora, however, of this region, as represented by the part traversed in this excursion, the Sierra Nevada has disappointed me. It is possible that there are other parts of the Sierra Nevada where the flora is richer in the upper reaches, but of this I have no personal knowledge, except regarding the Santa Marta side where the forest flora extends to higher reaches. I have ascended the mountains of India and Africa, the Ruwenzori of Africa, for example, and can say that the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta bears no comparison with this African range, either in the variety of species or the beauty of the flowers. But the Ruwenzori has a different climate, the upper reaches of that mountain are nearly always enveloped in fine mist and the vegetation drips with moisture: there being no dry season of considerable duration as in the case of the Sierra Nevada. The flora of this mountain cannot therefore, be expected to be so luxuriant. On the Andes near Bogotá, well within a range of a thousand feet one meets with three distinct species of Frailejón (Espeletia spp) affecting different altitudes. Here on the Sierra Nevada I did not see more than one species, and that affecting only the upper zone; this Frailejón, though of the arborescent type, is of a different species to those of the Bogotá region, and has white or straw-colored flowers instead of yellow.\n\nPage 20\n\n## The Descent\n\nOn the 26th we left our camp at Mamancanaca and returning the same way as we ascended, we reached Circayuca at dusk. On the following day we proceeded on our journey to San Sebastian by another route, reaching there about mid-day. I had hoped to leave the same day for Valle Dupar, but unfortunately the tardy Indians did not provide oxen in time, nor did they appear till the evening of the following day.\n\n## San Sebastian to Valle Dupar Via El Talco\n\nWe left San Sebastian on the 29th, returning by way of El Mamon and El Talco and the valley of Guatapuri to Valle Dupar. The first part of our journey led us through interesting fertile lands, thence over the mountain known as El Mamon, the road reaching an altitude of 2,400 m, at its highest part. I was led to take this route in preference to the one via Puebloviejo, as it was said to be nearer and moreover enabled me to see a further part of this interesting mountain range. We were destined to camp the night at El Talco and this meant a descent from 2,400 metres to 750 over an awful track. El Talco is merely a camp on the road, and has apparently received its name from the supposition that talc is found in the locality. The mineral supposed to be talc is, however, mica, so the locality would be more appropriately named La Mica and not El Talco.\n\n## Guatapuri Valley\n\nThe road from El Talco to Valle Dupar is along the Guatapuri valley and a very rough one, the greater part being exceedingly rocky or stony. I noticed that efforts had been made to establish potreros in various parts of this valley, but the falling and decaying fences told the tale that success had not accompanied these efforts. The valley of Guatapuri from El Talco to Valle Dupar, is not, in my opinion, of any appreciable agricultural value.\n\n## The Sierra Nevada\n\nI have no hesitation in stating that I consider the Sierra Nevada range the most valuable region of this Department. Firstly, for the reason that within its limits can be grown a variety of products; from tropical crops in the lowlands, sub-tropical and temperate crops in the intermediate parts, to crops peculiar to cold regions in the upper zone. Secondly, because of the geographical position of the Sierra Nevada, being within easy reach of the most important markets of the West and of Europe. And lastly, because the Sierra Nevada should become the sanatorium of the Coast region, replacing the wasted forces of the tropical worker. Is not the Sierra Nevada the lungs of the Department, the accumulator of the forces which should be utilized to re-establish health and vigor?\n\nFrom a very hurried journey such as the one I have made, restricted to a relatively small area of this important range, I do not feel justified in treating the agricultural possibilities of the Sierra Nevada as a whole. The observations which follow, it should therefore be borne in mind, are framed from impressions made on this hurried trip, and are not the result of a detailed exploration of the range, such as I had desired to make and such as undoubtedly should be undertaken.\n\n## Wheat\n\nI had pictured the Sierra Nevada mountain, from what I had been told, a country of remarkable fertility and of wonderful and extensive wheat-growing lands. The Sierra Nevada is not in this respect any such \"El Dorado.\" There are in parts considerable expanses of fairly fertile lands, but there are equally large, if not larger areas of poor sterile lands. To describe the Sierra Nevada as a wheat-growing country, would be to display an ignorance of the wheat-producing lands of the world; for nowhere did I notice extensive areas where wheat could be grown and cultivated by modern methods such as would place the Sierra Nevada on a competing basis with wheat-producing countries. I do not say there is not land suitable for growing wheat, on the contrary, there are areas where wheat may be grown and grown at a profit for consumption in the country, lands without doubt superior to the lands above Bogotá devoted to that cereal. It is a matter of history that the early Spanish settlers grew wheat at or in the vicinity of Puebloviejo. I have there seen a millstone, found in recent years, which was doubtless hewn centuries ago from the granite boulders by the Spaniards for milling wheat. It is now employed for hulling coffee in one of the animal-drawn contrivances at Puebloviejo. This millstone might well find a place in the National Museum at Bogotá, as a record of the industry of the early settlers, an industry which it is to be deplored has not been emulated locally in more recent times. One of the principal features that struck me in this journey was the abundance of water everywhere. The Sierra Nevada is wonderfully well watered with beautiful clear crystal streams, affording abundant water for irrigation and power.\n\n## Possible Crops\n\nThe Sierra Nevada, as represented by the part I have traversed in this journey, is essentially the country for the colonist or man with small capital who is not afraid to work; for here is a country which is perfectly healthy and where the farmer's or planter's life is ideal. There are the lower zones adapted for cotton, cacao, sugar-cane, maize, etc. A little higher are lands suitable for coffee, ginger, citrus fruits, etc. Citrus growing should prove a new industry of great possibilities with suitable communication with the port at Santa Marta; for grapefruit and oranges should find a ready market in Panama and the United States, as well as the aguacate and granadilla and probably other fruits peculiar to this country and little known to the outside world. At a still higher elevation, wheat, barley, and oats might be grown in sufficient quantity to render the importation of these cereals from other countries no longer necessary. Is not the population of Santa Marta and the Coast generally importing potatoes from the United States, while here close at hand are suitable lands for the cultivation of that tuber, and indeed all classes of vegetables? With rapid communication with the Coast the cultivation of vegetables should indeed prove a ...\n\nPage 27\nPage 132",

Rowe,\n\nIt is inconceivable that these steps and preparations, which have been going on for a long time, were unknown to MacDonald.\n\nWe Chinese cannot understand why the British workers still keep MacDonald as their leader. To us he seems to be leading you backwards and backwards, but that is your Pidgin—not ours.\n\nThe supply of arms to the Shanghai Merchant Volunteers, a Fascist body, was admitted by the Secretary of State for War in the House of Commons on July 14, when he said that it was true that during the past six months applications had been received for the supply of arms to the Shanghai Volunteer Force, and that these applications had been complied with.\n\nSo the front line policy of the British, who are the predominant imperialists and who set the pace, is to smash the workers separately in each town; to \"shoot to kill\" an unarmed crowd after ten seconds' warning, as Inspector Everson ordered before the Laoza police-station in Shanghai on May 30.\n\nBut whilst this policy may succeed in the British Crown Colony, Hongkong (where every unemployed adult is to be deported and where the British Governor Sir Reginald Stubbs has arranged for the flogging of the strikers), it will not succeed in China proper.\n\nThe butchery at Shanghai has already been condemned, even by officials.\n\nWhen the news of the shootings which took place at Shanghai on May 30 and subsequent days reached Peking, the heads of the Diplomatic Missions of the powers interested appointed a Mixed Commission to proceed to Shanghai, there to carry out an inquiry in conjunction with a Chinese Commission, appointed by the Peking Government, and to report to the Diplomatic Body.\n\nPage 5\n\n503",

Hong Kong. Hong Kong. Hong Kong.\n\nI arrived in Liverpool in 1905 and opened a laundry business in Litherland, Liverpool. I forget the name of this business now. After three years in this business, I bought a quarter share of the Kwong Shing and Co. grocers business in No.20 Cleveland Square, Liverpool. My share of the business was for £250. The other partners in this business were WONG KAU, alias SUE CAPPER, alias YUAN LONG (who is now living at T. Hong Kong). WONG WAT (still at Liverpool, address unknown) and another man named SO HO AI (now dead). I still retain my shares in this business.\n\nI returned to Hong Kong from England during the 6th Chinese month of 1921, accompanied by my wife named SOO HO SZE and two children. I forgot to say that I returned in 1911 to Tai Ping to get married. I went to reside at No.40 Yu Wah Street ground floor, Bowrington Canal for 18 months. I started my business as an I.&.E known as the Sun Fat Wah No.159 Connaught Road West, 3rd floor. I invested $10,000.00 in this business and exported and imported chest-groceries, rice, lard, oil, and bean nuts and macaroni.\n\nThe firms I have been doing business with were Messrs Bonnier and Berthe No.3, Rue de Parcafaillarges, Marseilles, and I also dealt with a French man who was acting as a Chinese Consul in Marseilles, France.

They were coloured pale cinnamon brown with faint bluish shading on the blunt end and were one third larger than the drongo egg, 26. V. 32.\n\nBIRD NAMES,\n\nG. A. C. H.\n\nMay I enter a plea for the avoidance of confusion in the naming of birds and for the stereotyping where possible of the best known or most suitable popular name?—the scientific name is in higher hands. Two instances in the Hong Kong Naturalist have called forth these remarks.\n\n1. MAGPIE ROBIN.-On page 50 Vol. 1. H. P. W. Hutton calls it \"Chinese Dayal Bird,\" though he admits that \"Magpie Robin\" is a better name. Surely \"Magpie Robin\" is so much the better name that it is worth while making a good try to suppress the other name. Page 51 of the same number Soame Jenyns uses Magpie Robin without explanation or reservation, and I venture to say that the name is so well known in Hong Kong and is so appropriate that no explanation is needed.\n\n2. RAIN BIRD.-This is one of the Cuckoos, a family which has not yet been dealt with in the very admirable articles on Birds of Hong Kong which have appeared in the \"Hong Kong Naturalist.\" Several notes on the various members of the Cuckoo family have however appeared. I have extracted the following:-\n\nVol. I. Page 106. Hawk Cuckoo-Brain fever bird of India.\n\nVol. I. Page 109. Indian Cuckoo, Cuculus micropterus.\n\nVol. II. Page 143. Indian Koel, Eudynamis orientalis honorata.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nDecember 1932.",

The Atlantic Charter agrees to the restoration of sovereign rights and self-government to all who have been forcibly deprived of these. But for half a century before this had been enunciated India and Burma and Ceylon had begun to build up autochthonous civil services on a gradually expanding scale; and the final inevitable stage of Dominion status or complete independence has presumably been easy enough from the point of view of administrative efficiency.\n\nWhatever the ethics of the seizure in 1841 of the barren island of Hong Kong, where the inordinate restraints on trade practised at Canton could be overcome and where, in the words of the Treaty, 'ships could be careened and merchandise stored', the words of the Charter are clearly inapplicable.\n\nOr was the principle affected when, \n## Page 6",

Of the multitudes from all parts of the world who poured in voluntarily to enjoy the commercial benefits of Hong Kong (and who were equally at liberty to depart if they chose) the vast majority came naturally from the neighbouring regions of South China. By 1940 a considerable number of Chinese families had lived in Hong Kong for three or even four generations, though even these generally retained a contact, more than merely sentimental, with their ancestral homes in China.\n\nIn this context it is of interest to note that the new Governor of Hong Kong, while on an official visit to the Generalissimo at Nanking, as lately as 3rd October, 1947, said in a presumably inspired statement to the Press: - \"Hong Kong will not become Dominion but will remain a Colony.\"\n\nThe desire which was year after year voiced in the annual budget debates in Legislative Council for the replacement by local recruitment of the considerable staff of Government officers appointed",

The idea underlying this study is that, in view of the emergence of independent or semi-autonomous states in South East Asia, the reconstruction of Japan and Korea, and the present political confusion in China, the survey of past and present administrations in Eastern Asia, and of methods for the future training of efficient and honest Civil Servants, would be of constructive importance. Chatham House has undertaken, as its contribution towards this study, to produce papers on public administration in India, Burma, Malaya, and Hongkong.\n\nI wonder whether you would be willing and feel able to write a paper of this nature about Hongkong? If so, we should be very appreciative and feel that the work was in the best possible hands. I should be very glad to discuss the project in greater detail whenever you are in London.\n\nYours sincerely, \n\n**(Sgd.) P.B. BUTLER** \n**(Sir Paul Butler.)** \n\nN.L.
