Manner of Paying the Duties. \n\nIt is hereinbefore provided, that every English vessel that enters any one of the five ports, shall pay all duties and tonnage-dues before she be permitted to depart. The Superintendent of Customs will select certain shroffs, or banking establishments, of known stability, to whom he will give licences, authorizing them to receive duties from the English mer- chants on behalf of Government, and the receipt of these shroffs for any moneys paid them shall be considered as a Government voucher. In the paying of these duties, different kinds of foreign money may be made use of; but as foreign money is not of equal purity with sycee silver, the English Consuls appointed to the different ports will, according to time, place, and circumstances, arrange with the Superintendents of Customs at each, what coins may be taken in payment, and what per centage may be necessary to make them equal to standard or pure silver. \n\nIX. Weights and Measures. \n\nSets of balance-yards for the weighing of goods, of money-weights, and of measures, prepared in exact conformity to those hitherto in use at the Custom-house of Canton, and duly stamped and sealed in proof thereof, will be kept in possession of the Superintendent of Customs, and also at the British Consulate at each of the five ports, and these shall be the standards by which all duties shall be charged, and all sums paid to Government. In case of any dispute arising between British merchants and Chinese officers of Customs, regarding the weights or measures of goods, reference shall be made to these standards, and disputes decided accordingly. \n\nX. Lighters or Cargo Boats. \n\nWhenever any English merchant shall have to load or discharge cargo, he may hire whatever kind of lighter or cargo-boat he pleases, and the sum to be paid for such boat can be settled between the parties them- selves, without the interference of Government. The number of these boats shall not be limited, nor shall a monopoly of them be granted to any partics. If any smuggling take place in them, the offenders will of course be punished according to law. Should any of these boat-people, while engaged in conveying goods for English merchants, fraudulently abscond with the property, the Chinese authorities will do their best to apprehend them; but, at the same time, the English merchants must take every due precaution for the safety of their goods. \n\nXI. Transshipment of Goods. \n\nNo English merchant-ships may transship goods without special per- mission: should any urgent case happen where transshipment is necessary, the circumstances must first be submitted to the Consul, who will give a certificate to that effect, and the Superintendent of Customs will then send a special officer to be present at the transshipment. If any one presumes to transship without such permission being asked for and obtained, the whole of the goods so illicitly transshipped will be confiscated. \n\nXII. Subordinate Consular Officers. \n\nAt any place selected for the anchorage of the English merchant- ships, there may be appointed a subordinate Consular officer, of approved good conduct, to exercise due control over the seamen and others. He must exert himself to prevent quarrels between the English seamen and natives, this being of the utmost importance. Should any thing of the kind unfortunately take place, he will in like manner do his best to arrange it amicably. When sailors go on shore to walk, officers shall be required to accompany them; and should disturbances take place, such officers will be held responsible. The Chinese officers may not impede natives from coming alongside the ships to sell clothes or other necessarics to the sailors living on board. \n\nXIII. Disputes between British Subjects and Chinese. \n\nWhenever a British subject has reason to complain of a Chinese, he must first proceed to the Consulate and state his grievance; the Consul will thereupon inquire into the merits of the case, and do his utmost to arrange it amicably. In like manner, if a Chinese have reason to com- plain of a British subject, he shall no less listen to his complaint, and endeavour to settle it in a friendly manner. If an English merchant have occasion to address the Chinese authorities, he shall send such address through the Consul, who will see that the language is becoming; and, if otherwise, will direct it to be changed, or will refuse to convey the address. If, unfortunately, any disputes take place of such a nature that the Consul cannot arrange them amicably, then he shall request the assistance of a Chinese officer, that they may together examine into the merits of the case, and decide it equitably. Regarding the punishment of English criminals, the English Government will enact the laws neces- sary to attain that end, and the Consul will be empowered to put them in force; and regarding the punishment of Chinese criminals, these will be tried and punished by their own laws, in the way provided for by the correspondence which took place at Nanking, after the concluding of the peace. \n\nXIV. British Government Cruizers anchoring within the Ports. \n\nAn English Government cruizer will anchor within each of the five ports, that the Consul may have the means of better restraining sailors and others, and preventing disturbances. But these Government cruizers are not to be put on the same footing as merchant-vessels; for, as they bring no merchandize and do not come to trade, they will of course pay neither dues nor charges. The Resident Consul will keep the Super- intendent of Customs duly informed of the arrival and departure of such Government cruizers, that he may take his measures accordingly. \n\nXV. On the Security to be given for British Merchant-Vessels. \n\nIt has hitherto been the custom, when an English vessel entered the port of Canton, that a Chinese Hong Merchant stood security for her, and all duties and charges were paid through such security-inerchant; but these security-merchants being now done away with, it is understood, that the British Consul will henceforth be security for all British mer- chant-ships entering any of the aforesaid five ports. \n\n",

        "content_text": "\nintendent of Customs will delay to insert the same in his books, thus affording an opportunity that the merits of the case may be duly tried and sifted. \n\nVIII. Manner of Paying the Duties. \n\nIn the \n\nIt is hereinbefore provided, that every English vessel that enters any one of the five ports, shall pay all duties and tonnage-dues before she be permitted to depart. The Superintendent of Customs will select certain shroffs, or banking establishments, of known stability, to whom he will give licences, authorizing them to receive duties from the English mer- chants on behalf of Government, and the receipt of these shroff's for any moneys paid them shall be considered as a Government voucher. paying of these duties, different kinds of foreign money may be made use of; but as foreign money not of equal purity with sycee silver, the English Consuls appointed to the different ports will, according to time, place, and circumstances, arrange with the Superintendents of Customs at each, what coins may be taken in payment, and what per centage may be necessary to make them equal to standard or pure silver. \n\nIX. Weights and Measures. \n\nSets of balance-yards for the weighing of goods, of money-weights, and of measures, prepared in exact conformity to those hitherto in use at the Custom-house of Canton, and duly stamped and sealed in proof thereof, will be kept in possession of the Superintendent of Customs, and also at the British Consulate at each of the five ports, and these shall be the standards by which all duties shall be charged, and all sums paid to Government. In case of any dispute arising between British merchants and Chinese officers of Customs, regarding the weights or measures of goods, reference shall be made to these standards, and disputes decided accordingly. \n\nX. Lighters or Cargo Boats. \n\nWhenever any English merchant shall have to load or discharge cargo, he may hire whatever kind of lighter or cargo-boat he pleases, and the sum to be paid for such boat can be settled between the parties them- selves, without the interference of Government. The number of these boats shall not be limited, nor shall a monopoly of them be granted to any parties. If any smuggling take place in them, the offenders will of course be punished according to law. Should any of these boat-people, while engaged in conveying goods for English merchants, fraudulently abscond with the property, the Chinese authorities will do their best to apprehend them; but, at the same time, the English merchants must take every due precaution for the safety of their goods. \n\nXI. Transshipment of Goods. \n\nNo English merchant-ships may transship goods without special per- mission: should any urgent case happen where transshipment is necessary, the circumstances must first be submitted to the Consul, who will give a certificate to that effect, and the Superintendent of Customs will then send a special officer to be present at the transshipment. If any one presumes to transship without such permission being asked for and obtained, the whole of the goods so illicitly transshipped will be confiscated. \n\nXII. Subordinate Consular Officers. \n\nAt any place selected for the anchorage of the English merchant- ships, there may be appointed a subordinate Consular officer, of approved good conduct, to exercise due control over the seamen and others. He must exert himself to prevent quarrels between the English seamen and natives, this being of the utmost importance. Should any thing of the kind unfortunately take place, he will in like manner do his best to arrange it amicably. When sailors go on shore to walk, officers shall be required to accompany them; and should disturbances take place, such officers will be held responsible. The Chinese officers may not impede natives from coming alongside the ships to sell clothes or other necessaries to the sailors living on board. \n\nXIII. Disputes between British Subjects and Chinese, \n\nWhenever a British subject has reason to complain of a Chinese, he must first proceed to the Consulate and state his grievance; the Consul will thereupon inquire into the merits of the case, and do his utmost to arrange it amicably. In like manner, if a Chinese have reason to com- plain of a British subject, he shall no less listen to his complaint, and endeavour to settle it in a friendly manner. If an English merchant have occasion to address the Chinese authorities, he shall send such address through the Consul, who will see that the language is becoming; and, if otherwise, will direct it to be changed, or will refuse to convey the address. If, unfortunately, any disputes take place of such a nature that the Consul cannot arrange them amicably, then he shall request the assistance of a Chinese officer, that they may together examine into the merits of the case, and decide it equitably. Regarding the punishment of English criminals, the English Government will enact the laws neces- sary to attain that end, and the Consul will be empowered to put them in force; and regarding the punishment of Chinese criminals, these will be tried and punished by their own laws, in the way provided for by the correspondence which took place at Nanking, after the concluding of the peace. \n\nXIV. British Government Cruizers anchoring within the Ports. \n\nAn English Government cruizer will anchor within each of the five ports, that the Consul may have the means of better restraining sailors and others, and preventing disturbances. But these Government cruizers are not to be put on the same footing as merchant-vessels; for, as they bring no merchandize and do not come to trade, they will of course pay neither dues nor charges. The Resident Consul will keep the Super- intendent of Customs duly informed of the arrival and departure of such Government cruizers, that he may take his measures accordingly. \n\nXV. On the Security to be given for British Merchant-Vessels. \n\nIt has hitherto been the custom, when an English vessel entered the port of Canton, that a Chinese Hong Merchant stood security for her, and all duties and charges were paid through such security-merchant; but these security-merchants being now done away with, it is understood, that the British Consul will henceforth be security for all British mer- chant-ships entering any of the aforesaid five ports. \n\n",

Be it therefore enacted and ordained by His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong, and Superintendent of the Trade of Her Majesty's Subjects in China, with the advice of the Legislative Council of Hongkong, that the Master of every Merchant Vessel belonging to any of Her Majesty's Subjects, as such Master, and in that Character, on his arrival at any Port in China at which there shall be a British Consular Establishment, shall, together with sufficient Sureties subject to the Jurisdiction of the Courts of Justice at Hongkong, enter into a Bond, conditioned as and in the Form in the Schedule to this Ordinance annexed, provided always that only one such Bond shall be required within the space of One Year, unless the same shall become forfeited, and that any Bond of a similar nature taken at Hongkong, and conditioned to extend to the Dominions of the Emperor of China, shall be of the same force and effect as if entered into at any of the Ports aforesaid; Provided also, that the Superintendent of the Trade of Her Majesty's Subjects in China may demand and take such other Security as he may deem necessary or sufficient from the Owners, Masters, Consignees, or other Persons interested in any Vessel, for the due performance of the Conditions in such Bond as aforesaid, and that thereupon no Master of any Vessel, in respect of which such other Security shall be taken, shall be required to enter into such Bond as hereinbefore mentioned.\n\nII. And be it enacted, that the British Consul at any such Port as aforesaid shall be entitled to demand and take possession of such Bond, and shall deliver a Certificate of the taking thereof to such Master, and that the Sureties therein shall be to the satisfaction of, and approved by, the said Consul.\n\nIII. And be it enacted, if any Master of such Vessel as aforesaid shall neglect, for the space of Ten Days after his arrival at any such Port as aforesaid, or after the Forfeiture of, or after the expiration of the space of One Year from the previous taking of any such similar Bond, or shall at any time, upon lawful demand made by the said Superintendent of Trade for such other Security, or by the Consul aforesaid for such Bond, neglect or refuse to enter into the same, or to provide such Sureties or other Security as aforesaid, that it shall be lawful for the said Superintendent of Trade, or for the said Consul, to arrest and detain such Master, and the Vessel commanded by him, until such time as the said demand shall be complied with, and also summarily to impose on the said Master a Fine not exceeding the Sum of One Hundred Dollars, to be paid to Her Majesty, Her Heirs, and Successors, and in case of nonpayment thereof, to forthwith cause the same to be levied of the Apparel, Boats, Tackle, or Furniture of the Vessel commanded by the said Master.\n\nIV. And be it enacted, that the said Master and the said Ship, whilst so detained or arrested, shall be subject in every respect to the same liabilities as if such Bond or other Security had been duly entered into.\n\nV. And be it enacted, upon any Complaint made of any Injury, either in Person or Property, sustained from the act of any of the Crew of any Vessel belonging to Her Majesty's Subjects, done or committed within the Dominions of the Emperor of China, or within One Hundred Miles from the Coast of China, which said Vessel shall not then be in Hongkong, or in any Port in China at which a British Consular Establishment may exist, and in respect whereof such Bond or other Security as aforesaid shall have been entered into, that it shall be lawful for any competent Tribunals to summon the Sureties in such Bond or other Security as aforesaid to appear and answer such Complaint, and thereupon to proceed to Enquire of, Hear, and Determine the same, in the Absence of the Party alleged to have committed the Injury complained of, and to award such Damages (to be paid and borne by the Sureties in the Bond or other Security aforesaid) to such injured Party as may be just and reasonable. Provided always that such Adjudication shall not be pleadable in bar of any Criminal Proceeding instituted in respect of the subject matter thereof, and that no such complaint shall be enquired of or heard, unless it shall clearly appear that the Party preferring the same has used all possible diligence in so doing whilst such Vessel was in Port; and that no such Adjudication of Damages or Compensation shall be made if the said Sureties shew special cause for delaying the same, or shall undertake to produce the Party alleged to have committed the injury complained of within a reasonable time, to be then fixed by such Tribunal as aforesaid.\n\nVI. And be it enacted, that upon any such Bond or other Security as herein mentioned becoming forfeited, the same shall be put in Suit by such person as may hereafter be duly authorized in that behalf by the said Superintendent of Trade, and the whole Penalty thereof recovered and levied; but that it shall be lawful for the Superintendent of Trade aforesaid, upon Petition being made to him to that effect, to order that such part thereof as shall not be actually expended, in consequence of the Breach of the Conditions of the said Bond or other Security, or as may not be required to liquidate any legal Penalty which may have been incurred by the Master or other Person\n\nPage 125",

        "content_text": "24\n\nREPORT ON\n\nbeing raised to sustain a regular Government Establishment on the scale now adopted, and which, indeed, is far beyond the present or perspective wants of the island community. Under the most favourable circumstances, there may possibly, some years hence, be obtained from the markets, the rent of building-land £5000 to £7000 per annum. Licenses, fines, and fees of every description, may realize hereafter about £1000 per annum. The levy of a tonnage duty would not yield more than £500 to £1000 per annum, if it did not drive away the few ships that now enter the harbour; it is not probable that vessels would pay sixpence per ton merely to call for orders, when they can lie in Macao Roads and daily communicate with Hong Kong. A registration or license for each male Chinese resident on the island, might, if there were a more respectable class of inhabitants in the colony, produce £600 to £1000 a-year. Neither auction duties, stamps, or any of the other ordinary sources of taxation, would, under present circumstances, yield any revenue worth consideration.\n\nThe idea that the Chinese Government will sanction the introduction of opium into China at a moderate fixed duty, and that a large revenue may then be raised by warehousing the drug at Hong Kong, must, I think, be abandoned as illusory. The legal admission of opium into China by the Emperor, according to the best information I can obtain, is not at all probable. But even were the traffic in opium legalized, the traders have declared they would not pay any duty at Hong Kong. They can keep their large receiving-ships the whole year round in Hong Kong, or in any other harbour, or transship the opium from the vessels which convey the drug from Bengal and Bombay to this place, on board the smaller vessels, which proceed along the coast to sell or deposit it at Whampoa, Namoa, Amoy, Chimmo, Chin-Chu, Chusan, or Woosung, in the receiving-ships which lie in those bays or stations the whole year round.\n\nI will not discuss the question of raising a revenue in Hong Kong from the introduction of opium for smoking in the island, either by farming out the drug, or otherwise. Independent of the morality or immorality of the question of Government deriving an income from a vicious indulgence, so long as the Chinese Government prohibits the introduction, and makes the use of opium a capital offence, it would not, to say the least, be seemly of us to encourage the use of this destructive and poisonous stimulant in Hong Kong.\n\nThe total revenue to be expected from this colony, cannot, in my opinion, exceed £10,000 per annum; and to obtain this amount, several years must elapse, under the most favourable circumstances.\n\nThe per contra side shows an expenditure at this moment, for mere civil establishment, salaries and wages, at the rate of £50,000 per annum, irrespective of the cost of any public works, roads, and buildings, which is estimated at £50,000 per annum for several years; independent, also, of the Consular charges of £30,000 per annum, and of the army and navy.\n\nThe whole showing a yearly drain on the British exchequer of half a million pounds sterling (see Documentary Appendix).\n\nAnd here it may be necessary to remove an erroneous assertion, that this heavy yearly charge is only a portion of the revenue that England derives from the China trade.\n\n25\n\n476\n\nThe revenue which is obtained from tea is paid by the people of England, who buy and consume the tea. It might as well be said that England derives revenue from the West Indies furnished by the coffee and sugar consumed in the United Kingdom. The incidence of taxation is on the last purchaser of the taxed article. The tea merchant of London adds to the invoice cost of the tea bought at Canton, the freight to England, the insurance, interest of money, warehousing, customs duty levied in England, and the fair profits of trade on every chest of tea he may sell to the grocer, who then regulates the price at which he can afford to sell a pound of tea to his customer, who finally pays the whole charges, taxes, and profits to the several parties before he drinks his tea.\n\nThe revenue derived from the China trade is paid by the people of England; the merchant who carries on the trade does not pay a shilling of it. It will be for Her Majesty's Ministers to decide whether, on a review of the whole case, there be any justification for spending half a million sterling annually on this coast.\n\nAs a general principle, colonies that will not pay at least the expense of their civil government are not worth maintaining. There does not appear any reason why Hong Kong should be an exception to this rule. There is not, as has been fancifully supposed, any analogy whatever between Hong Kong and Gibraltar. Hong Kong commands nothing: a glance at the chart will show that the navigation of the China seas is perfectly independent of Hong Kong; even the entrance of the Canton river is not controlled by Hong Kong. It is not possible, by any outlay of money, to make the island a fortress; and it is commanded by the opposite shore of the mainland. But supposing several millions sterling were spent in fortifying Hong Kong, and half a million annually expended for its garrison, the cui bono would constantly recur: from a Chinese enemy, the island has nothing to apprehend even at present; no European or American state would think of capturing Hong Kong, for it would be valueless to them; and if mere glory were sought by the acquisition, they must be aware the fame would be of short continuance, as troops and ships from India, from Australia, and from all our stations eastward of the Cape of Good Hope, would soon recapture the place or starve out the garrison.\n\nBut Gibraltar is differently circumstanced; it effectually commands the narrow entrance to the Mediterranean, and, together with the fortresses and havens of Malta and Corfu, gives England a preponderating power in that great European sea, which is becoming daily of more and more value in her intercourse with the Anglo-Eastern Empire. Moreover, Gibraltar is a valuable commercial entrepôt; at one period £1,000,000 sterling of cotton goods were exported through Gibraltar into Spain.\n\nAs a fortress, Gibraltar is perfect; it is impregnable. The revenue of Gibraltar is fully adequate to its civil government, and averages upwards of £30,000 per annum. The military expenses incurred by garrisoning Gibraltar saves the constant maintenance of a large fleet in the Mediterranean, preserves the balance of power, and materially helps to keep the peace of Europe.\n\nThe remarks applicable to Gibraltar, are also applicable to Malta and the Ionian Islands, both of which stations not only pay their whole...",

Ten of these years have been spent in visiting the Colonies, and 10 years in circulating the information acquired; the result of some of his labours has been as follows:\n\n  \n    I.\n    History of the British Colonies, five vols,\n    28 Maps, Charts, &c.\n    8,500\n  \n  \n    II.\n    Marquess Wellesley's Indian Despatches, five vols.,\n    Maps, Plans, &c.\n    8,000\n  \n  \n    III.\n    British Colonial Library, ten vols.,\n    Engravings, Maps, &c.\n    22,000\n  \n  \n    IV,\n    Eastern India, three vols.,\n    200 Drawings, Maps, Plans, &c.\n    4,500\n  \n  \n    V.\n    Statistics of the British Colonies, one large vol.,\n    3,000,000 Figures, Seals, &c.\n    3,000\n  \n  \n    VI.\n    Political, Commercial and Financial Condition of Anglo-Eastern Empire in 1832,\n    8vo.\n    1,500\n  \n  \n    VII.\n    British relations with the Chinese Empire in 1832,\n    8vo.\n    3,000\n  \n  \n    VIII.\n    Taxation of the British Empire, with Tabular Views, &c.\n    \n    1,500\n  \n  \n    IX.\n    Past and present state of Tea Trade of England, Europe and America.\n    \n    1,500\n  \n  \n    X.\n    Analysis of Parliamentary Evidence on China Trade, 1832\n    \n    -\n  \n  \n    XI.\n    Colonial Policy of the British Empire, Part I., Government-\n    \n    3,000\n  \n  \n    XII.\n    Marquess Wellesley's Spanish Despatches, one vol.\n    8vo.\n    -\n  \n  \n    XIII.\n    Ireland as it was, is, and ought to be, Tabular Chart, &c.\n    \n    1,500\n  \n  \n    XIV.\n    Colonial Magazine, seven vols.\n    8vo, completed, Engravings, &c.\n    12,000\n  \n  \n    XV.\n    Poor Laws for Ireland, a Measure of Justice for England, &c., pamphlet\n    \n    10,000\n  \n  \n    \n    Colonial Atlas, with Maps of each Colony, now engraving.\n    \n    \n  \n  \n    \n    East and West India Sugar Duties Equalization, 40,000 copies distributed.\n    \n    \n  \n  \n    \n    Monetary System of British India, 10,000 copies distributed.\n    \n    \n  \n  \n    \n    Various pamphlets on Commerce, Finance, Shipping, &c.\n    \n    \n  \n\nThe foregoing publications comprise about 70,000 octavo volumes, illustrated by numerous maps, engravings, plans and statistical charts, and they all refer to subjects of great national importance. The mere mechanical expenditure on these works for printing, paper, engravings, &c., has been upwards of 20,000l. sterling.\n\nTo defray these heavy charges, to pay assistants, and to provide for personal expenses during 20 years' unremitting toil, and costly labour and travel, not the slightest aid has been furnished by Government; but relying solely on his own energies, and out of his own limited resources, Mr. Martin has prepared the first complete \"History of the British Colonies,\" and by his unceasing exertions, has awakened an interest in the public mind for our trans-marine possessions, whose extent and condition were heretofore imperfectly known, and their intrinsic value inadequately appreciated.\n\nIn addition to the preceding mentioned labours, Mr. Martin has zealously contributed to promote various useful objects. The \"Colonial Society\" of London was consequent on his works, and he has endeavoured to advance its laudable objects. The \"Central Agricultural Society\" by which the landed interest was united for the protection and encouragement of agriculture, at a period when it was threatened with destruction (1835-36), had its origin mainly in his exertions, and for two years he acted gratuitously as one of its honorary secretaries. He also co-operated as honorary secretary with the \"Society for the Protection of Domestic Industry,\" which was superintended by a committee of 21 Members of Parliament, whereof E. S. Cayley, M.P. was chairman, and which had for its leading object the union of all classes engaged in land, manufactures and trade.\n\nIn order that he might obtain an accurate view of the working of our banking system, Mr. Martin made a tour throughout England and Scotland, to the extent of 2,500 miles, during which he visited nearly every public and private bank in the kingdom; and for 12 months he officiated as honorary secretary to the \"Commercial Bank of London.\" The \"Bank of British North America\" was planned, and its preliminary proceedings were organized.\n\n743.\n\nC 2",

Report on the Island of Hong Kong.\n\n[20]\n\ncarriage, fees, &c., will be reduced, and the cost price thus lessened by one-third to the British consumer; on the other hand the Chinese will be able to purchase at a cheaper rate British manufactures, when they are brought by our vessels to their doors. These and other considerations render it a matter of national importance that our trade with China be diffused over several ports, instead of being confined to Canton, and indicate that it is not desirable that Hong Kong be maintained, even if the assertion be true, as a protection to the trade of Canton.\n\nThere are now five ports open on the coast of China to all European, East Indian, and American vessels. There can be no reason why foreign vessels should discharge cargo at Hong Kong, merely to change cargoes from one vessel to another; and as the Chinese government now, I believe, allows a vessel to sell part of her cargo at one port, and then proceed to another, and will probably ere long form bonded warehouses at each port, there will be still less probability of any trade being established here. It is indeed a delusion or a deception to talk of Hong Kong becoming a commercial emporium, and to liken it to Singapore. The circumstances and position of Hong Kong and Singapore present no resemblance whatever. Hong Kong is a barren rock, producing nothing, not leading to any place, surrounded by no trading or populous communities with various commodities for barter, and disadvantageously situated at the most impoverished part of a coast line of 2,000 miles, and which for half the year is only readily accessible in one direction.\n\nSingapore is most advantageously placed at the southern point of the rich Malayan Peninsula, and at the entrance of the Straits of Malacca, which may be considered the high road between Eastern and Western Asia. It is surrounded by, or lies contiguous to, the most fertile, wealthy, and populous islands and countries in the world. Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Celebes, Macassar, Penang, Siam, Cochin-China, Tonquin, Birmah, &c. The harbour of Singapore is capacious, perfectly sheltered, easy of access from every point of the compass, and never experiencing a tempest. The climate is very salubrious. The island is of great beauty and fertility, with an undulating surface, an area of 120,000 acres, all capable of tillage, and of which 20,000 acres are now under the luxuriant and profitable cultivation of sugar cane, nutmegs, pepper, rice, beetle nut, gambier, cocoa nuts, &c. The sugar made by Mr. Ballastier with a steam engine, or by Mr. Montgomerie by water and cattle mills, is equal in quality to the produce of the West Indies; the nutmeg trees are already yielding abundantly; the black pepper produced during the past year amounted to 38,000 piculs (a picul 133 lbs.), the gambier to 85,000 piculs, and there are 100,000 cocoa-nut trees in full bearing. Live stock, bread, water, and delicious fruit and vegetables of every kind, and at moderate prices, are at all times ready for the shipping, who enjoy the advantage of a perfectly free port; 86 miles of excellent roads have been completed, and extensive communications are in progress; land is being sold in fee simple at a minimum and maximum price of five to ten rupees, or 10s. to 20s. per acre; 50,000 industrious and skilful inhabitants are spreading cultivation in every direction; four companies of Sepoys constitute the sole military force of the island, which has not even a fort for its defence; the revenue in 1842 amounted to rupees 509,087, and the disbursements (including rupees 165,955 for troops, and rupees 49,789 for Bengal and Madras convicts) to rupees 494,029, leaving a surplus of income to the extent of rupees 15,083, and under the able management of the present Governor, Colonel Butterworth, it is one of the most lucrative possessions of the British Crown.\n\nThe remarkably eligible position of Singapore for a commercial emporium led to its establishment as a British colony by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819, when there were but a few Malay fishermen on the island, who disputed with the tiger for their occupancy. In 1812 the trade of the colony amounted to 1,000,000£ sterling, in 1824 to 3,000,000£ sterling, and last year, and indeed for several years, the commerce of the island has averaged 5,600,000£ sterling per annum.\n\nThis trade is carried on with many countries: with Great Britain, to the extent of $3,000,000; with Calcutta, $2,800,000; with Java, 1,500,000; with foreign Europe, North and South America, Madras, Bombay, Arabia, Ceylon, Penang, Malacca, Birmah, Siam, Cochin-China, Manilla, Hainan, Formosa, and the whole coast of China; with Sumatra, Borneo, Rhio, the Moluccas, Mauritius, Australasia, &c. Traders from all these places meet by common consent at a central mart close to the Equator, and exchange the productions of Asia for those of Europe and America. It is erroneously supposed that Singapore has been created by its trade with China; such is not the fact. The total import tonnage of Singapore in 1838-39, in square-rigged vessels, was 178,796 tons, of which that from China was 32,860. The native tonnage for the same year was 48,000, of which the Chinese vessels constituted 8,000 tons.\n\nThe Straits produce, which the Chinese require, are brought to Singapore by Malay and other coasting craft who would not proceed to the northward; and the proprietors of the Chinese junks, with whom time is no object, and who go down the coast to the Eastern Archipelago with one monsoon and return with the other, prefer the speculation with their varied cargoes, and the visiting of their countrymen at the different islands.\n\nBut sufficient has been stated to show that there is no analogy whatever between Hong Kong and Singapore, and that the geographical, territorial, and commercial advantages which have contributed to the prosperity of Singapore, are totally and entirely wanting, and can never be created at Hong Kong.\n\n[21]\n\nAppendix.\n\nFinancial Point of View.-There is no apparent prospect of Hong Kong ever yielding any revenue adequate to more than a very small civil government. The limited size and rocky nature of the island, the absence of agriculture, manufactures, or commerce, and the Report on the fluctuating and predatory character of the population, forbid the hope of an income being raised to sustain a regular Government establishment, on the scale now adopted, and which is far beyond the present or prospective wants of the island community. Under the most favourable circumstances there may possibly, some years hence, be obtained from the rent of building land from 5,000£ to 7,000£ per annum; the markets, licences, fines, and fees of every description, may realize hereafter about 1,000£ per annum. Tonnage duty would not yield more than 500£ to 1,000£ per annum, if it did not drive away the few ships that now enter the harbour; it is not probable that vessels would pay 6d. per ton merely to call for orders, when they can lie in Macao roads and daily communicate with Hong Kong. A registration or licence for each male Chinese resident on the island might, if there were a more respectable class of inhabitants in the colony, produce 600£ to 1,000£ a year. Neither auction duties, stamps, or any of the other ordinary sources of taxation, would under present circumstances yield any revenue worth consideration.\n\nThe idea that the Chinese government will sanction the introduction of opium into China at a moderate fixed duty, and that a large revenue may then be raised by warehousing the drug at Hong Kong, must, I think, be abandoned as illusory. The legal admission of opium into China by the Emperor, according to the best information I can obtain, is not at all probable; but even were the traffic in opium legalized, the traders have declared they would not pay any duty in Hong Kong. They can keep their large receiving ships the whole year round in Hong Kong or in any other harbours, or tranship the opium from the vessels which convey the drug from Bengal and Bombay to this place, on board the smaller vessels, which proceed along the coast to sell, or deposit it at Whampoa, Namoa, Amoy, Chimmo, Chin-Chu, Chusan, or Woosung, in the receiving ships which lie in these bays or stations the whole year round. I will not discuss the question of raising a revenue in Hong Kong from the introduction of opium for smoking in the island, either by farming out the drug or otherwise. Independent of the morality or immorality of the question of Government deriving an income from a vicious indulgence, so long as the Chinese government prohibit the introduction and make the use of opium a capital offence, it would not, to say the least, be seemly of us to encourage the use of this destructive and poisonous stimulant in Hong Kong.\n\nThe total revenue to be expected from this colony cannot in my opinion exceed 10,000£ per annum, and to obtain this amount several years must elapse under the most favourable circumstances. The per-contra side shows an expenditure at this moment for mere civil establishment salaries and wages at the rate of 50,000£ per annum, irrespective of the cost of any public works, roads, and buildings, which is estimated at 50,000£ per annum for several years, independent also of the consular charges of 30,000£ per annum, and of the army and navy; the whole showing a yearly drain on the British Exchequer of half a million pounds sterling. (See Documentary Appendix.) And here it may be necessary to remove an erroneous assertion that this heavy yearly charge is only a portion of the revenue which England derives from the China trade.\n\nThe revenue which is obtained from tea is paid by the people of England, who buy and consume the tea. It might as well be said that the West Indies furnished the revenue derived by the British Exchequer from the coffee and sugar consumed in the United Kingdom. The incidence of taxation is on the last purchaser of the taxed article; the tea merchant in London adds to the invoice cost of the tea bought at Canton, the freight to England, the insurance, interest of money, warehousing, customs duty levied in England, and the fair profits of trade on every chest of tea he may sell to the grocer, who then regulates the price at which he can afford to sell a pound of tea to his customer, who finally pays the whole charges, taxes, and profits to the several parties before he drinks his tea. The revenue derived from the China trade is paid by the people of England; the merchant who carries on the trade does not pay one shilling of it.\n\nIt will be for Her Majesty's Ministers to decide whether, on a review of the whole case, there be any justification for spending half a million sterling annually on this coast. Commodore Chads, C.B., who has had extensive experience for many years in China, is of opinion that England would be wise in not establishing any colony in China.\n\nAs a general principle, colonies that will not pay at least the expense of their civil government are not worth maintaining. There does not appear any reason why Hong Kong should be an exception to this rule. There is not, as has been fancifully supposed, any analogy whatever between Hong Kong and Gibraltar. Hong Kong commands nothing; a glance at a chart will show that the navigation of the China seas is perfectly independent of Hong Kong; nay, even the entrance of the Canton river is not controlled by Hong Kong; it is not possible by any outlay of money to make the island a fortress, and it is commanded by the opposite shore of the main land. But supposing several millions sterling were spent in fortifying Hong Kong, and half a million were annually expended for its garrison, the cui bono would constantly recur. From a Chinese enemy the island has nothing to apprehend even at present; no European or American state would think...",

It appears that the same Individual has acted as Shroff, during the Treasurerships of Mr Stewart & Mr Marling, both of whom have placed much trust in his integrity and correctness; & the sum of £32. 8.2 may be assumed to be the whole of the Surplus accumulated on\n\nThe\n\nand\n\npayments\n\nby the Shroff since Sept. 1843,\n\nIt is at the same time difficult to understand, how the separate Bag of coins, the Surplus could have remained in the Treasury Chest, as Mr Mercer states they were, without being noted in the Surveys or in the Chart, which purport to give an exact account of each Coin existing in the Treasury, the Amount of which was made to correspond with the Balance shown by The Treasurer's Books, no portion of the accumulating Surplus having been included in the Treasury Books until December 1848.\n\nAlthough we have thought it right to submit these remarks, on which our observations have been obtained, We beg leave to observe, that as regards the early period prior to July 1843, it is known that there was but one Account for the Receipts & payments. Money Chest for the Services of the Hong Kong Government, the Superintendency, & the Special Mission; that there were errors in the Records of the actual cash transactions.\n\nand that when Mr Stewart took charge of the Chest, in July 1843, he found, of actual Money, sufficient only to satisfy the Balance exhibited in the Account of the Hong Kong Government, so that any surplus which may have existed, without being entered in the Accounts, prior to that date,",

H. CARVALHO, Secretary\n\nHongkong, 20th January, 1857.\n\nTo the Editor of the \"HONGKONG REGISTER.\"\n\nMACAO, 1st February, 1857.\n\nDEAR SIR—The 10 mandarins, who came from Shang-hae, have been here for a few hours, and having taken their dinner at Cau-qa hong, embarked in the ensuing for Casa Branca, and from there to Yan-san and Cass feathers; and 5 of them bare blue buttons. Two of the mandarins have red buttons and peso sent to Caatho to assist Yeh—and it is said, that two of them were formerly in Canton in the time of the first war with Commissioner Lin.\n\n\"Every thing here is quiet, but I say in the harbour a good many mandarin junks displaying a varying flag. Though people are at this time they cannot do any harm here, I would question, that. What could we do prevent their attacking this place and carrying away the heads of the English that are living here?\n\nI am, &c,\n\nThe Hongkong Register.\n\nHONGKONG, TUESDAY, 3 FEBRUARY, 1857.\n\nNOTICE—The Hours of Posting Wrons in the CENTRAL POST OFFICE, Hollywood Road, are on the Subirth at 11 am, and stand on the Evening of every Wednesday at 7 o'clock.\n\nSIXTY.\n\nWe recorded a pedestrian feat last week —walking to the top of Victoria Peak and back six times in twenty-four hours. The same gentleman did the same task this week in twelve hours, which shows, speaking in all honor and praise, that he is an artful dodger; for the latter feat though apparently more difficult, is in reality easier.\n\nProof—a friend of ours went up and down in fifty-seven minutes.—say one hour at four miles. Four times six's twenty-four; and good steady walking, making the trip equal to twenty-four miles in twelve hours is not very great walking.\n\nTaking all the difficulties into account on an undertaking like this is more easily carried through at one heat than in two, we have no doubt that with, or, from what we hear, without halting, the gentleman who has done the six times could easily do the eight if he set his mind on it.\n\nWe have been trying to persuade our ... C. to put himself in training and try the feat—but he says he has been once to the gap and considers that enough is as good as a feast.\n\nNo. 5. FEBRUARY 3, 1857.\n\nThe climate of London is one thing, and the climate of Hongkong is quite another.\n\na more material matter than that of Hongkong, we must decidedly feel of any corps being sent away from this place.\n\nAn urgent necessity exists for augmenting and making the most effective part of the regular police force here, many of whom do their duty conscientiously to the best of their ability—but the superintendence of London is one thing: and the superintendence in Hongkong is another.\n\nThe screw Steamer Sir James Brooke left this at noon yesterday to Hongkong, having on board three companies of Sepoys, a detachment of European Artillery-men, for service in China, despatched on the requisition at the hands of Hongkong.\n\nThe troops consisted of two companies the 29th M. N. I., the European Artillery-men, Pang, and the Company of the Rifle Company accompanying this force are Major Cheslett, Captain Cazalet, Lieut. Foote, and Passingham of the gun, Capt. Man, Lieut. Forster of the Madras Artillery, Dr. Lloyd, Assistant Surgeon, Apothecary Edwards and Sub-Conductor Ball.\n\nThe Sir James Brooke has been chartered for Twelve thousand dollars.\n\nFrom these and other causes which might be specified Hongkong is not in effect London, and a system which may do very well at the latter place may require important modifications at the former.\n\nWe can never obtain the same raw material for a police here as obtainable in London, but we certainly, both in ordinary and in extraordinary times, such as the present, can make the most of our raw—excessively raw material.\n\nFirst: we would make the men effective by putting them on duty for a four hours beat; and if that could not be done conveniently from the central police station, we would do it from three stations—East, West, and Central.\n\nThe S.S. Auckland brought about 100 tons of shot, shell and ammunition from Pinang last week, which will be sent to China as soon as possible.\n\nBraitonore crew Pressa, Jan. 22.\n\nOn the arrival of the Mail at 6.30 PM of Sunday the 1st February we did, for the convenience of our subscribers, what we have not done before—viz: apply for a pass for two coolies to carry the respective Papers, which will secure early delivery.\n\nTwo passes were granted dated 10th January good for 21 days, the time expiring on the 31st January. Of course the 1st February was beyond the pale of the pass but coming direct from the Superintendent of Police we deemed it all right, thinking that police matters were going on in their usual cuddle.\n\nIn this belief the passes were on the night of the 2nd instant given to two of our Chinese Compositors to take them home, and we were somewhat astonished on being awakened at half past twelve, and informed, that our men were in custody.\n\nWe went down to the police office, and there we found the authorities pondering over the passes, and wondering to see the names of the boys written in red pencil, that being the color of the printing of the new passes.\n\nWe explained that a red pencil is a very common article in a printing office and that the names had been written in with that; then on making ourselves responsible for the lads we saw them let go.\n\nMARRIAGE.\n\nAt Belgrave-square, on the 24th November, the wife of Admiral Sir T. COCHRANE, of a Son.\n\nAt Victoria, Cox, ELIZABETH SANDERS.\n\nMarriage Register xi:10.\n\nON SUNDAY, the 1st instant, the P. & O.

Cos.\n\nConcerning the (From our Overland Edition.)\n\nCUMSTAL OF ARTUM AND NINE OTHERS ACCUSED TO POISON.—Particulars of the attempt to poison the whole community by bread from the E-sing Bakery will be found elsewhere.\n\nThe partner of the firm, Ahlum, arrested at Macao, was brought back, and after an examination before the Magistrates, was committed with nine others to take his trial at the Criminal Sessions this month.\n\nThe trial will commence on Monday next.\n\nOn Wednesday last an application was made to the Court to have the money seized or Ahlem's premises given up to pay for his defence.\n\nAttorney General, backed by the affidavit of two of Altun's creditors, resisted the application. stating in his as courteous manner that he did so to prevent the money being Thundered or squandered in his defence.\n\nThe Counsel, in support of the motion, seemed to think the Attorney General was using strong language. when, of course, the Attorney General repeated\n\nthe bill for Aldam's defence being paid out of the money, after it was laid before and approved of by His Lordship.\n\nHis Lordship very properly sustained the Attorney General, except of course as regarded his insinuations.\n\nThe prisoners will be well defended—they have two Attorneys and two Barristers.\n\nChinese New Year.—The Chinese New Year fell on Monday, the 25th Instant.\n\nIt is usually a scene of noisy rejoicing for several days and nights.\n\nIn London they have the pick of the very best labor of the country,—they will not other.\n\nHere our only easier is from bad request the Authorities to stop the usual expenditure of fire-works as a means of preventing the probability of fire.\n\nAided by this support, the Government issued an order that there should be no fireworks, let off.\n\nIn consequence, the New Year has passed without any of the usual rejoicings, showing, that if we choose to exercise it, we have a power of repression, especially if we show ourselves earnest in the matter.\n\nIn London, the men are well paid, and properly housed and cared for.\n\nHere they are not well paid—they live where they can, in low and dirty hovels, and no one cares for them.\n\nIn London, the care and training of strong healthy men originally, make them still stronger and handier—they are quite able, though not useless to walk their eight hours beat without inconvenience, to keep awake and be an effective sure of praise, and rewards, and promotion—give them up and retire.\n\nHere the want of care and discipline makes men in the end, neither strong nor healthy at the first, so they never were able to walk an eight hours beat steadily; they have little or nothing to look forward to.they are not likely to be praised in their present state.\n\nthe rewards they obtain are paltry and the promotion is a doubt full affair.\n\nSee the case of a licenum, who by great pluck at sea single-handed more off an armed gang of Chinese at Aberdeen, he was rewarded with ten dollars until we\n\nstate of our Settlement, and that the Chinese population ? shazed the government in to giving more.\n\nThe Admiral in reply to the muy treacherous attempts made against us on the morning of 19th inst. sent ashore several parties of Sailors and Marines, who set fire to the western suburbs in the neighborhood and above Sa-men; this work was carried out successfully by the boats of the Niger, Encounter, and Barracouta.\n\nThe men of the Fifty-ninth were also detailed to fire the Streets behind the Factories but, owing to loosing their way in the labyrinth of Streets in that neighborhood they had to return without effecting their object.\n\nAmen of the 59th, with a Lieutenant, a Sergeant, and 20 men of the 59th, with a Sergeant and six men of the Police, who are to return, by a Mail Steamer\n\nAnswer---I do.\n\nOn the\n\nCras and by Mr. Jay—I'm not aware that the delivered the remainder of our bread to Mr. May at the Police Court on the evening of the following day.\n\nQuestion—Do you not, as an Editor, make it your Ahlam's father, when the ninth prisoner was not in the neighborhood of the Yamun of the Governor General Yeh caused a conflagration of some extent.\n\nIn the body of the paper will be found Maui-General Yeh caused a conflagration of some extent. The whole operation was effected with a loss of two men of the Fifty-ninth killed and about six wounded; the latter are doing, worth attention.\n\nOn the 14th I went over to the E-sing shop to have conversation with Ahlam about that contract only\n\nQuestion—Then Sir, do you mean to say you did not know that E-Bing had a bakery near the American Naval Store.\n\nAnswer—What have I to do as an Editor of Newspaper with B-ring's stores.\n\nI wanted to say that I know of a bakery being near the Dutch Fallyly were repulsed, and the Admiral bombarded the city from the Fort and the Niger\n\nOn Sunday night, the 18th instur, an attack against foreigners, us against their own Government, was made by large force of Chinese on the Dutch Fallyly were repulsed, and the Admiral bombarded the city from the Fort and the Niger\n\nIt is a remonstrance made by, know that E-Bing had a bakery near the American Naval Store.\n\nRead, however, distinctively, it shews the prejudices which have to be overcaico before English: Commerce can again take its fitting intration of laying, be had only put it up to deceive the mandrains, who had been troubling him.\n\nI told him, the garden and, after establishing his quarters in Jous WAY-fam stoward the Sultana, I know the Tee-to-tum fort, came down here on the 23d\n\nMARKETA—Notwithstanding the warlike operations which have been carried on since the departure of the Calcutta steamer on the 28 ult.

The Jury, a special one, awarded the Plaintiff $1,010, it will be remembered, subject to the Judge's decision on the low point raised by Defendant's Counsel; and our readers, no doubt, are desirous of knowing what has been the result of the matter, and how the disputed point has been arranged. But though, as we have remarked, it is upwards of a month since the trial was reported, from that day to the present we have not heard a word of the threatened kroviment;---so, as the time allowed for the mo time was for some time expired, the verdict of the Jury stands. So much for the verdict whether the award will be forthcoming, or whether we shall obtain even a refund of the costs out of pocket \"are problems the solution of which has yet to be told of \n\nThe Editor of the China Mail, in strictures exhibiting the most extraordinary feeling of sympathy for a suspicious character it has ever been our lot to read, has told the world that, owing to the unjust confinement to which Ah Lum has been subjected, being unable personally to look after his office--he, Ah Lum, is now declared to have become Bankrupt and will have to pass through the Insolvent Court\" and, adds the Editor with an evident hug of gratulation, there will possibly (the italics are ours) be some \"difficulty in recovering the amount of damages.\" Possibly there may--but, at all events, we are placed, by the verdict of one of the most respectable juries ever empanelled in this Colony, in a position to challenge the Insolvent's Balance sheet; and should it be, as we shall not be surprised to find, that Ah Lum's bankruptcy is due as much to his very proper stoppage at business here as to some astounding malversation in the shape of lawyer's fees, or payment of hireling scribes the facts will duly be made patent to the public, and, it will be hoped, produce a salutary effect that the Jury's award will not be altogether lost \n\nThe arrival of the mail prevented the intention of noticing in our last issue a very interesting letter in the Hongkong Register of Tuesday, signed a Catholic Missionary, and of which the intelligent Redacteur of that paper thus remarks.--- \n\nWe publish better from a Roman Catholic Missionary. in reply to some observations by a contemporary as to what ought to be the course of the French in China in his opinion. We don't of course agree with the remarks of our contemporary but we entirely agree with the letter which we publish. Neither the fact nor the spirit are in good taste, and an easy answer could be time to both were worth while which is not. \n\nWhether the letter in question is a reply to our observations--whether it is \"bad taste\" (as one reverend Father disclaims it)--or whether the subject is worth while to notice are all points on which we shall leave our readers to form their own opinions. Here is a translation of such parts of the letter necessary to an understanding of it, and appended is an extract from the speech of His Lordship the Bishop of Victoria, on the 5th of May last, the spirit of which, it rejoices us to find, is entirely in consonance with the honestionsa which May last, the spirit of which, it rejoices us to find, is not our contemporary does not think it worth while to notice. \n\nTranslation, \n\nReferring to the Anglo-French alliance on the China question--the author of the article accuses the French of a desire to impose their religion on Canton by means of bayonets, amusing it (religion) to serve their ambition.\"This alliance so surely desired by Great Britain rests, it is true, on different interests.

It long. Feb. 11. 1857\n\nMy Dear Mr. Hickson,\n\nIn writing by one as my friend Jeannot help me: I am pressing my regret at your early departure which deprives the Colony of your services and myself of your docility, but when I see you detained in Town day after day up to a late hour in the Evening, kept all the time at hard work, and returning exhausted in body and mind I must fully concur in the general opinion of the Colony that it is impossible for one man to carry on the arduous and conflicting duties heaped on you which are far beyond the powers of any man to perform; Besides from what I know of the expense of living in this Colony, where everything is exorbitantly dear, I consider your Salary totally inadequate to your Support as a Government official; As your Medical Adviser however I must view your relief with satisfaction, during the last six weeks while under my treatment, I have seen you suffer much, and when Summer comes, and the heat and exertion would be so much increased, I fear you would suffer so much from the effects of climate and your duties as to render you unfit for the performance of any duty and your stay here impossible; I do not hesitate therefore to recommend you to relinquish your post at any loss, by the earliest opportunity that offers itself, and wishing you a favourable voyage I remain,\n\nYours faithfully,\nRichard G. Jack\n\nS. I. Hickson Esq.",

        "content_text": "(74)\n\n489\n\nGuns had been taken away by the pirates, and only a gingall was left. Some Chinamen came on board, but I don't know who they were. We then came to Hongkong, not having, to my knowledge, received at Mamee any remuneration. Except the two vessels already mentioned, I have never told either Roberts or Lyons of any vessels captured by the Eaglet, while out of Government employ.\n\nAfter my arrival in Hongkong, I received, in addition to my regular pay, $56, as my share of the remuneration for the service performed, and all the crew received shares. Mr Caldwell was in command on this occasion. I received $55 from the Chief Officer as my share of the remuneration. I have heard Mr Caldwell call a Chinaman, by the name of Jack, I believe residing somewhere in the Market; I have seen him on board the Eaglet.\n\nI do not know who had a share in the Eaglet's ventures or profits. I have had conversations with Roberts on Friday, Sunday, Tuesday. I know that the vessels we convoyed were generally full of cargo, even on deck, and carried only two or three small guns. I cannot say whether the two boats which I said I supposed were sold at Mamee were afterwards taken to the Admiralty court.\n\nWe were armed in the Eaglet. I do not know what sum was paid to the Captain by the mandarins as remuneration for the service; I received $56 from Siemssen & Co., as agents for the steamer. I do not know what amount the steamer was paid as remuneration, nor by whom.\n\n[Document produced signed. Siemssen & Co., containing \"chief officer Randall, his share in prize-money, entry $56.\"]\n\nThis paper was brought on board to me by a clerk of Siemssen & Co. I do not remember being present on any other occasion, when not employed by Government, at the capture of any Chinese vessels of any class or rig. Neither myself nor the crew were ever employed in any engagement ashore. In the beginning, I think, of 1856, the Mandarins at Swatow came on board, and asked us to assist with their soldiers in the retaking of two villages, which the pirates had taken.\n\nThey came on board three or four times a-day. That was $500, or that the Engineer's was $250. I did tell them that I got about $100 for the affair of the two boats, Mamee. This was mere talk. I had no idea I was coming here. I told them that this money was for prize-money and that my supposition was that the boats were sold. At the time I said this, I had not found the paper which I have searched for and produced to-day.\n\nI did tell them that I was disappointed at losing a lorcha with 50 chests of Opium on board, which was the lorcha I have already spoken of as having made her escape at Shatái. Roberts asked me how I knew what she was, and I replied, we had been told by the boat people of Mamee that they were pirates.\n\nI remember the Mandarins requesting the assistance of the vessel in retaking two villages; some of the crew were put with guns in the boats, but did not land, the mud preventing them. The villages were afterwards burnt by the people on shore. I am not aware whether the vessel received any remuneration for that service; I did not.\n\nThis is the chart for that service; the directions for going up to Swatow written on the chart are in my handwriting; I wrote them on the Sunday I have spoken of. Roberts said he would probably be going up that way himself, and asked me to give him the course up the river, so that he might avoid the pirates.\n\nInspector Roberts called on me on Saturday or Monday last. He asked me what I got for the junks that were sold at Mamee. I told him I got $55. I did not make use of the words \"we did not care what the devil she had on board, so that she had the Opium,\" but I have no recollections of doing so.\n\nHe asked me what I got out of the volunteer the statement. I replied that I got nothing. I said I did hear there were $2,000 got for it. He said there was more money than that for it, and that it amounted to $12,000. That was about the whole of the conversation. Lyons was with Roberts at this time. It was a general conversation between the three.\n\nGEORGE STONE.-Called and examined.\n\nI knew Mr Caldwell first about June 1855. In July of that year, I was appointed by Mr Caldwell Chief-Engineer of the Eaglet. Mr Caldwell commanded her himself in this affair at St John's. I never told either Roberts or Lyons that my share in the Swatow business was $250. She was principally engaged in convoying Chinese Merchant junks up and down the coast, and in carrying passengers and cargo.\n\nShe had, I think, seven guns on board when she commenced the convoy business. She was sometimes engaged in the employment of Government for the purpose of suppressing piracy. On one occasion, she went in company with Her Majesty's steamer Rattler and boats of American samer Powhattan to Kulan, for the purpose of destroying a nest of pirates.\n\nDuring the whole time of my employment, I never knew the Eaglet engaged in committing any act of piracy, but only in suppressing such. I remember the occasion of our going to Mamee with a convoy; our being informed that there were pirates on the coast; and being requested to go in chase of them. We succeeded in finding four of them near St John's: three ran aground, one of which was so far off that we could not get near; two we captured; and the fourth, which was a large lorcha painted black, having a large number of men on board, engaged us till dark; she was too strong for us to capture.\n\nWe took the two captured boats to Mamee. The mandarins came on board for several days requesting us to assist them, and when the water was sufficiently deep, we got up as far as we could and anchored at low water. Being a-ground, we remained there several days. The mandarins came with their soldiers in several boats to the attack of the village. We fired several shells, but we were too far off for them to take effect. We took no other part in the engagement.\n\nThe vessels which we were in the habit of convoying were trading vessels. I remember that some junks under our convoy refused to leave Mamee until the pirates had been driven away. I think, but am not positive, that Mr Caldwell said that the owners of the boats had given him money for their recapture, which he would divide among the crew in Hongkong, retaining a portion for the vessel.\n\nI do not know of my own knowledge what the mandarins said to Mr Caldwell. They spoke in Chinese. I do not remember any paper being given him by the mandarins. I think that a portion of the money for the convoy of the junks to Swatow was paid there, and a portion at the Westward.\n\nI remember the ship's boats being lowered to assist the innocent people in driving away the mandarins from plundering them. During the whole time of my connection with the Eaglet, I never remember her having or being in communication with pirates or rendering them any assistance or convoying them. I was passing by the station when Roberts and Lyons asked me to go up to their room.\n\nThey talked of various things and brought the questions round. I had not the slightest idea that it was for the purpose of inducing me to give evidence. They did not, after questioning me, say they should want me to give evidence, but I surmised so afterwards, and told them I thought I would have to come up here.\n\nRoberts first asked me if I would compare my Coast Charts with his. I had not mine with me, but he asked me to look at his, and point out the entrance to the river Han where the villages were.\n\nCross-examined, I remember with reference to the Mamee business, that on the return voyage to Hongkong...",

        "content_text": "## Proceedings of 8th July continued.\n\nI recollect the apprehension of a man who was charged with stealing a watch from Mr Lapraik. I was examined in the gaol upon a subsequent charge of piracy against the same man. I was examined in the presence of the Acting Colonial Secretary, Mr Caldwell, Mr Inglis, and a Chinese prisoner named Kwan Chan-hee. From circumstances, I imagined the man was accused from dislike between him and Ma-chow Wong and Kwan Chun-hee and this man.\n\nWhen I was examining him, he brought out some pieces of red paper, eight or nine inches long, with Chinese characters, which were interpreted to me by one of the Chinese in the station named Ahee. It was to the effect that Beaver was an American, a very good man, and had been some time in his employ; I kept it for a day or two before producing it by me before Mr Mitchell. I cannot recollect whether Mr Caldwell was there when I told Mr Mitchell of the interpretation I put upon the paper or not. I don't think I told Mr May about the paper while the trial was going on.\n\nIn a day or two after Beaver was remanded, I was sent for by the Acting Colonial Secretary. At about 6 o'clock in the morning I went to the Acting Colonial Secretary's house. He commenced questioning me, as licensing day was coming on, about the Comprador of the steamer.\n\nI know from reference to my chart, that Luy-chow near Hainan is from 8 to 10 miles from the mouth of a river; it stands a little way back from the shore. I have been past, but never in it.\n\n[Read Lyons' evidence concerning his visit to the Gaol to inquire about Beaver and the paper, and Beaver's conversation with himself.]\n\nI agree with nearly every portion of it. Beaver himself told me that he was with Akwai. I was at Boggs's trial.\n\nWhen I came here yesterday, there was a paper shown to me, and I was asked if I knew the character of the different Public-house keepers. After that I saw the paper produced. I do not know what was done with the paper before.\n\nThe steamer was about a mile and a half from the shore. The Elders of the village came on board and made an arrangement with Mr Caldwell for the payment of a sum of money if we could catch these desperadoes, but I do not know the amount. The boat went for the purpose of assisting people belonging to the Elders, and Mr Caldwell went in it. There were four armed men, four men pulling, the second Engineer and the Captain. When Roberts and Lyons asked me these questions, they did not tell me they should want me to give evidence. Yesterday, Roberts told me he had written down what I had said. I told him I thought it very curious, and that if I had seen the paper before, I should not have said anything. The answer I gave was that I had seen a paper written by a friend of mine about a year before; it was relating to the sale of a lorcha.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then remarked that the prisoner had that paper in his possession, and had given it to Kwan Chun-hee, and that the prisoner was head partner in the purchase of the lorcha. The Acting Colonial Secretary then went on to say that the paper had been given by this prisoner to Kwan Chun-hee within the last few days in Gaol, and that Kwan Chun-hee had given it up to accuse the prisoner.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then asked me about the searching of the prisoner at the Station, and I said I thought it was impossible he could have been locked up, without any paper which he might have had on his body being found.\n\nRe-examined,--During the time in which I was employed on board the `Eaglet` we never made any prisoners. In the Kulan affair there was loss of life sustained--five of the `Rattler's` and six or eight of the `Powhattan's` men were killed, besides other casualties. The information that the junks captured at St John's were pirates was obtained from the prisoner before his arrest.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary asked me if I had ever seen a fleet of two or three hundred junks which we met on our way to Mameë. I told him I had seen them one time previously, when he was making a charge in the Central Police Station. He then asked me if I could recognise a man named Yik-foo, if I saw him. He then asked me if the prisoner was not Yik-foo, and I said that he was not.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then sent me round to the Gaol to take another look at the prisoner, and assured me that the prisoner was not Yik-foo. I returned, and told him I was certain he was not Yik-foo. He then asked me, as the prisoner was sick at the time, could his sickness not have altered him, so that I could not recognise him. I assured him he was not Yik-foo, upon which I was dismissed.\n\nA short time afterwards I met the Acting Colonial Secretary at the Central Police Station, and in speaking to him I remarked that I had been told by one of the European prisoners, that the paper had been in Gaol since the conviction of Kwan Chun-hee. I then told him that Kwan Chun-hee had already brought a charge against Tong Akü which had been proved false. The charge against Tong Akü had been convicted.\n\nDr Bridges said that he would see into the matter, that he would inquire amongst the prisoners in the Gaol, and ascertain whether it was as I said with reference to the paper. I again saw the Acting Colonial Secretary upon this matter.\n\nI have seen Passengers coming on board except as a passenger. I have no recollection of seeing any one wearing spectacles coming on board except Lai Sze-kai.\n\nSai I have seen Lai Sze-kai wearing spectacles. I never received any other sum than the $55 either as prize-money or remuneration for extra or dangerous service.\n\n[Lai Sze-kai shewn to witness.]\n\nI remember the apprehension of Beaver; he was apprehended and brought to the Police Station by Mr Caldwell.\n\nWhen I had finished examining him, I told him about this man Beaver, and a case of piracy which I had known, and which had occurred in the previous January. I told him about a gun being purchased on the lorcha, also that the money had not been paid, and an order had been given, I was under the impression at the instance of Ma-chow Wong.\n\nThe pirate who took the lorcha was the brother or brother-in-law of Akwai, and he had an European with him. The Acting Colonial Secretary said he would like very much to see the order; it was for $80. The lorcha came in two days afterwards. I boarded her as she came to an anchor about half-past four or five in the morning. I took the Captain of the lorcha, and Achong, the Chinese owner, up to Dr Bridges's house about 7 o'clock, and they produced a paper which they said was the one to which I alluded. It was only an acknowledgment of having taken a gun worth $70, which they intended to pay for. There was no order on any particular house.\n\nThe paper was then sent together with the first paper found on Beaver's person to Mr Wade to be translated; and the Acting Colonial Secretary told me that as Mr Caldwell had already a charge for confederation with pirates against Beaver, I had better send my witnesses down to him. The witnesses were first sent down to Mr Caldwell, and then went before the Magistrate.\n\nAfter the paper was translated, it was returned to me by Mr Grand-Pré, and after getting it I went before the Magistrate again, with the witnesses, and the paper was again produced before the Assistant Magistrate Mr Mitchell. I do not know whether it was interpreted to him at that time.\n\nThe examination lasted over a space of three weeks, and the paper was taken there every day for examination. The witnesses failed to identify Beaver, and he was sentenced to find security for three months, or quit the colony; he quitted the colony.\n\nThis paper was never to my knowledge in Mr Caldwell's possession. He saw it, but I don't know that he read it at the Police Court. At one time I told him about it.\n\nAfter the investigation was over, Beaver asked for his paper, but Mr Mitchell said that they were to be retained. The last time I saw the paper was at the Magistracy, when he was committed to the Gaol upon not being able to find security. I have not seen it since. I have looked over the papers in the Magistracy, and that document is not attached to the case.\n\nBeaver told me that he had been in the employ of Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong on board a lorcha. If I had not been told, I should not have taken my witnesses to Mr Caldwell.\n\n## MANOEL DA SILVA, Sergeant in the Water Police,-Called and examined.\n\nI remember the apprehension of Po-Pak-Shing on a charge of piracy. I had his boats and family in custody, and believe they, the boat and family, were connected with Ma-chow Wong.",

We then came to Hongkong, not having to my knowledge received at Mamee any remuneration. After my arrival in Hongkong, I received in addition to my regular pay $56, as my share of the remuneration for the service performed, and all the crew received shares. Mr Caldwell was in command on this occasion. I received the $56 from Siemssen & Co., as I do not know what amount the agents for the steamer was paid as remuneration, nor by whom.\n\nentry \"chief officer Randall, his share in prize-money, $56.\"]\n\ncommenced the conversation by first putting the questions to me. This was I think on Friday last.\n\nExcept the two vessels already mentioned, I have never told either Roberts or Lyons of any vessels captured by the Eaglet, while out of Government employ. I never mentioned the word \"squeezed\" with reference to the mandarins at Swatow to Roberts or Lyons, but I said I supposed the ship had earned $12,000 as compensation for about 15 days' employment. I never told Roberts or Lyons that my share of that was $500, or that the Engineer's was $250. I did tell them that I got about $100 for the affair of the [Document produced signed Siemssen & Co., containing two boats at Mamee. This was mere talk. I had no idea I was coming here. I told them that this money was for prize-money, and that my supposition was that the boats were sold. At the time I said this I had not found the paper which I have searched for and produced to-day. I did tell them that I was disappointed at losing a lorcha with 50 chests of Opium on board, which was the lorcha I have already spoken of as having made her escape at Shatái. Roberts asked me how I knew what she was, and I replied, we had been told by the boat people of Mamee that they were pirates. I may have made use of the words \"we did not care what the devil she was, so that she had the Opium,\" but I have no recollection of doing so.\n\nThis paper was brought on board to me by a clerk of Siemssen & Co. I do not remember being present on any occasion, when not employed by Government, at the capture of any Chinese vessels of any class or rig. Neither myself nor the crew were ever employed in any engagement ashore. In the beginning, I think, of 1856, the Mandarins at Swatow came on board, and asked us to assist with their soldiers in the retaking of two villages, which the pirates had taken. They came on board three or four times a day for several days requesting us to assist them, and when the water was sufficiently deep, we got up as far as we could, and anchored at low water. Being aground, we remained there several days. The mandarins came with their soldiers in several boats to the attack of the village. We fired several shells, but we were too far off for them to take effect. We took no other part in the engagement. The mandarins took the right-hand village that day, and the next day attacked the left-hand village, but without success. We fired a few shots to intimidate the village, but did no injury. I do not know whether Goswa is the name of one of the villages. I know that the steamer had remuneration for the shot, shell, and powder expended, the wear and tear of the ship, and the time employed, but I received no portion of such remuneration, nor do I know what amount was paid—none on board had any share. Mr Caldwell was on board on this occasion. We went back to Swatow. Mr Caldwell went on shore to the Chinese agent. I did suppose that some of the Treasure brought on board on that occasion was in the nature of remuneration for the shot, shell, &c, before referred to. I do not know the amount, but the remainder I supposed to be cargo to be carried for freight. When we received Treasure as cargo, it was sometimes in boxes and sometimes in bags. To the best of my knowledge, neither Mr Caldwell nor anyone on board the vessels squeezed from the mandarins to the extent of $12,000, or any other sum as for remuneration. I never either in Swatow or here made any application to Mr Caldwell, Messrs Siemssen & Co., or any other person for any share of prize money in respect to this attack. I know Inspector Roberts of the Police force here, and a man named Lyons. They have asked me several questions concerning the voyage of the Eaglet, and I have answered them.\n\nThe vessels which we were in the habit of convoying were trading vessels. I remember that some junks under our convoy refused to leave Mamee until the pirates had been driven away. I think, but am not positive, that Mr Caldwell said that the owners of the boats had given him money for their recapture, which he would divide among the crew in Hongkong, retaining a portion for the vessel. I do not know of my own knowledge what the mandarins said to Mr Caldwell. They spoke in Chinese. I do not remember any paper being given him by the mandarins.\n\nI think that a portion of the money for the convoy of the junks to Swatow was paid there, and a portion at the Westward. I remember the ship's boats being lowered to assist the innocent people in driving away the mandarins from plundering them. During the whole time of my connection with the Eaglet, I never remember her having or being in communication with pirates or rendering them any assistance or convoying them. I was passing by the station when Roberts and Lyons asked me to go up to their room. They talked of various things and brought the questions round. I had not the slightest idea that it was for the purpose of inducing me to give evidence. They did not after questioning me say they should want me to give evidence, but I surmised so afterwards, and told them I thought I would have to come up here. Roberts first asked me if I would compare my Coast Charts with his. I had not mine with me, but he asked me to look at his and point out the entrance to the river Han where the villages were.\n\nHad I not known or been told that the lorcha was a pirate, I would not have consented to go in chase of her.\n\n(75)\n\nI have had conversations with Roberts on Friday, Sunday, and Tuesday. I know that the vessels we convoyed were generally full of cargo, even on deck, and carried only two or three small guns. I cannot say whether the two boats which I said I supposed were sold at Ma-mee were afterwards sold by the Admiralty court. I do not know who had shares in the Eaglet nor who had a share in her ventures or profits. I have heard Mr Caldwell call a Chinaman, I think in Hongkong, by the name of Jack; he resided, I believe, somewhere in the Market. I have seen him on board the vessel. He never accompanied the vessel in any of her voyages. I have seen him on 3 or 4 occasions on board. I have no recollection of ever seeing him at Swatow or Mamee on the occasions already referred to. I do not know whether he was in any way connected with the Eaglet. I think he had a shop in the Market. I never noticed him bring anything on board—provisions, guns, or cargo. [Shewn a chart produced by Inspector Roberts.] This is the chart which was shown me by Roberts. The directions for going up to Swatow written on the chart are in my handwriting. I wrote them on the Sunday I have spoken of. Roberts said he would probably be going up that way himself and would be obliged if I would give him the course up the river. There was no one killed or wounded on board the Eaglet, and none on shore except a petty Mandarin, who was wounded by the villagers who were plundering, and not by the Eaglet's people.\n\nPostponed till 1 o'clock on the 3d June.\n\nThursday, 3d June.\n\nGEORGE STONE.—Called and examined.\n\nI went to Mamee, where the Captain went on shore, and they were, I think, disposed of by order of the Mandarins. I do not know of my own knowledge whether they were sold or not; but persons came from the shore and took possession of them. I do not know what sum was paid to the Captain as remuneration for the service; I received from the Chief Officer $55 as my share of the remuneration. We were not in this transaction committing an act of piracy; we were only rescuing the boats from these murderers. That was the only occasion on which I was present at the capture of any Chinese vessels except when the ship was in the employment of Government. I remember the Mandarins at Swatow requesting the assistance of the vessel in retaking two villages; some of the crew were put with guns in the boats, but did not land, the mud preventing them. The villages were afterwards burnt by the people on shore. I am not aware whether the vessel received any remuneration for that service; I did not. I never heard of any squeezing or attempt to squeeze the sum of $12,000 or any other sum by Mr Caldwell or any other person on board in return for this service. Inspector Roberts called on me on Saturday or Monday last. He asked me what I got for the junks that were sold at Mamee. I told him I got $55. I did not volunteer the statement. He asked me what I got out of the Swatow concern. I replied that I got nothing. I said I did hear there were $2,000 got for it. He said there was more money than that got for it, and that it amounted to $12,000. That was about the whole of the conversation. Lyons was with Roberts at this time. It was a general conversation between the three. Lyons said that he was down at Mamee at the time. I never heard and never said to Roberts or Lyons that during the time the Eaglet was not in Government employ she captured 180 or any number of Chinese vessels except in this affair at St John's. I never told either Roberts or Lyons that my share in the Swatow business was $250. I did say we were much disappointed that we had not captured the large lorcha of which I had spoken, at St John's, because we were informed that she had a valuable cargo on board. I had only one conversation with Roberts and Lyons about this. I should think that the vessels we convoyed were nothing but Merchant vessels. My reason for so thinking is that they had their National flags and placed themselves under our protection. The Eaglet never, to my knowledge, convoyed a pirate; indeed, I would not myself have been in such employ. I looked to Mr Caldwell entirely as my employer and do not know who were partners in the Eaglet, her adventures, or the profits. I do not know a Chinaman by the name of Ma-chow Wong, Ma-tsow Wong, or Wong Akee. I have no recollection of hearing Mr Caldwell addressing a Chinaman by the name of Jack. Chinamen continually came on board about their cargo, but I recollect no one in particular; my duties were below about the Machinery.\n\nI knew Mr Caldwell first about June 1855. In July of that year, I was appointed by Mr Caldwell Chief-Engineer of the Eaglet. Mr Caldwell commanded her himself. I remained in that employment until about October 1856. She was principally engaged in convoying Chinese Merchant junks up and down the coast, and in carrying passengers and cargo. She had, I think, seven guns on board when she commenced the convoy business. She was sometimes engaged in the employment of Government for the purpose of suppressing piracy. On one occasion, she went in company with Her Majesty's steamer Rattler and boats of American steamer Powhattan to Kulan, for the purpose of destroying a nest of pirates. During the whole time of my employment, I never knew the Eaglet engaged in committing any act of piracy, but only in suppressing such. I remember the occasion of our going to Mamee with a convoy; our being informed that there were pirates on the coast; and being requested to go in chase of them. We succeeded in finding four of them near St John's: three ran aground, one of which was so far off that we could not get near; two we captured; and the fourth, which was a large lorcha painted black, having a large number of men on board, engaged us during nearly the whole day till dark; she was too strong for us to capture. We took the two captured boats to Mamee.\n\nCross-examined,—I remember with reference to the Mamee business, that on the return voyage to Hongkong, the\n\nPage 363",

        "content_text": "Page 364\n\n(76)\n\nProceedings of 8th July continued. JOHN ROBERTS, Deputy Inspector of Police and Deputy Inspector of Markets,—Called and examined.\n\nI recollect the apprehension of a man who was charged with stealing a watch from Mr Lapraik. I was examined in the gaol upon a subsequent charge of piracy against the same man.\n\nThe mode in which the remuneration was to be distributed was agreed on by Mr Caldwell, Mr Randall, myself, and Mr Heaton the second engineer. A certain portion went to the ship, coal, wear and tear, &c., a portion to the crew, and a portion to the Captain, Engineers, and officers.\n\nThe Elders of the village came on board and made an arrangement with Mr Caldwell for the payment of a sum of money if we could catch these desperadoes, but I do not know the amount.\n\nI was examined in the presence of the Acting Colonial Secretary, Mr Caldwell, Mr Inglis, and a Chinese prisoner named Kwan Chun-hee. From circumstances, I imagined this man was accused from dislike between him and the second Engineer and the Captain. When Roberts and Lyons asked me these questions, they did not tell me they should want me to give evidence. When I came here yesterday, Roberts told me he had written down what I had said. I told him I thought it very curious, and that if I had known that, I should not have said anything.\n\nWhen the boat went off with Mr Caldwell, I saw the men wading in the mud and trying to get on shore. The vessel was so far off that I could not see whether they landed or not; they may have done so; there was continually firing in the direction of the villages, and great numbers of people on shore. The steamer was about a mile and a half from the shore.\n\nRe-examined,—During the time in which I was employed on board the Eaglet we never made any prisoners. In the Kulan affair there was loss of life sustained—five of the Rattler's and six or eight of the Powhattan's men were killed, besides other casualties.\n\nThe information that the junks captured at St John's were pirates was obtained from a fleet of two or three hundred junks which we met on our way to Mamee. We were going to Nowchow for a convoy and fell in with this fleet. We hailed them, and asked if they had seen the fleet we were about to convoy. They told us that the pirates had gone ahead, and we then ran into Mamee, where I think we got information that the pirates had proceeded farther up. The Captain and Pilot were on the paddle-box, and they had the conversation with these junks.\n\nThere was a rumour that the steamer was to receive $5,000 for the Swatow affair if the villages had been taken. The Eaglet's Comprador lived on board the ship, and went with us in the cruises. When in harbour he went ashore and brought off with him provisions as required. I do not know his name, or that any person living on shore acted as Ship's Comprador. I do not know by name Szekai.\n\nI once prosecuted a servant of mine called Ahing who was in the steamer; and I remember a gunner, Roderick, a Portuguese, who, after he quitted the vessel, was indicted for a larceny but acquitted; but I have no recollection of any other person whom I have seen on board the Eaglet having been brought up for any offence. I have no recollection of seeing any one wearing spectacles coming on board except as a passenger. I have seen Passengers wearing spectacles.\n\nI never received any other sum than the $55 either as prize-money or remuneration for extra or dangerous service.\n\n[Lai Sze-kai shown to witness.] This was the comprador of the steamer, and used to accompany us in all our voyages.\n\nMa-chow Wong and Kwan Chun-hee and this man. When I was examined there was a paper shown to me, and I was asked if I had ever seen the paper before. The answer I gave was that I had seen the paper before, that it was written by a friend of mine about a year before; it was relating to the sale of a lorcha.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then remarked that the prisoner had that paper in his possession, and had given it to Kwan Chun-hee, of the lorcha. The Acting Colonial Secretary then went on to say that the paper had been given by this prisoner to Kwan Chun-hee within the last few days in Gaol, and that Kwan Chun-hee had given it up to accuse the prisoner about the searching of the prisoner at the Station, and I said I thought it was impossible he could have been locked up, without any paper which he might have had on his body being found.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary asked me if I had ever seen the prisoner before his arrest. I told him I had seen him one time previously, when he was making a charge in the Central Police Station. He then asked me if I could recognise a man named Yik-foo, if I saw him. He then asked me if the prisoner was not Yik-foo, and I said that he was not.\n\nThe Acting Colonial Secretary then sent me round the body of the Gaol to take another look. I returned, and told him I was well assured the prisoner was not Yik-foo. Mr Caldwell then asked me, as the prisoner was sick at the time, could his sickness not have altered him, so that I could not recognise him. I assured him he was not Yik-foo, upon which I was dismissed.\n\nA short time afterwards I met the Acting Colonial Secretary at the Central Police Station, and in speaking to him I remarked that I had been told by one of the European prisoners, that the paper had been in Gaol since the conviction of Kwan Chun-hee.\n\nI then told him that Kwan Chun-hee had already brought a charge against Tong Akü which had been proved false. The charge against Tong Aku was after the sessions at which Ma-chow Wong had been convicted. Dr Bridges said that he would see into the matter, that he would inquire amongst the prisoners in the Gaol, and ascertain whether it was as I said with reference to the paper.\n\nI again saw the Acting Colonial Secretary up in the Police Court, when he told me that what I said was correct, and that he was convinced the paper had been in gaol all the time.\n\nI remember the apprehension of Beaver; he was apprehended and brought to the Police Station by Mr Caldwell. I was present when he brought him there. I searched him, and found on him pieces of red paper, eight or nine inches long, with Chinese characters, which were interpreted to me by one of the Chinese in the station named Ahee.\n\nIt was to the effect, that Beaver was an American, a very good man, and had been some time in his employ; I don't know whether the interpretation I put upon the paper or not. I kept it for a day or two. When he was examined at the Police Court, the paper was produced by me before Mr Mitchell. I cannot recollect whether it was interpreted in Court. I recollect perfectly telling Mr Mitchell what the effect of it was.\n\nIn a day or two after Beaver was remanded, I was sent for by the Acting Colonial Secretary. At about 6 o'clock in the morning I went to the Acting Colonial Secretary's house. He commenced asking me, as licensing day was coming on, about the character of the different Public-house keepers.\n\nAfter that was finished I told him about this man Beaver, and a case of piracy which I had known, and which had occurred in the previous January. I told him about a gun being purchased from the lorcha, also that the money had not been paid, and that an order had been given, I was under the impression to Ma-chow Wong.\n\nThe pirate who took the lorcha was Chu-kwai, and he had an European with him. The Acting Colonial Secretary said he would like very much to see the order; it was for $80.\n\nThe lorcha came in two days afterwards. I boarded her as she came to an anchor about half-past four or five in the morning. I took the Captain of the lorcha, and Achong, the Chinese owner, up to Dr Bridges's house about 7 o'clock, and they produced a paper which they said was the one to which I alluded.\n\nIt was only an acknowledgment of having taken a gun worth $70, which they intended to pay for. There was no order on any particular house. The paper was then sent together with the first paper found on Beaver's person to Mr Wade to be translated; and the Acting Colonial Secretary told me that as Mr Caldwell had already a charge for confederation with pirates against Beaver, I had better send my witnesses down to him.\n\nThe witnesses were first sent down to Mr Caldwell, and then went before the Magistrate. After the paper was translated, it was returned to me by Mr Grand-Pié, and after getting it I went before the Magistrate again, with the witnesses, and the paper was again produced before the Assistant Magistrate Mr Mitchell.\n\nI do not know whether it was interpreted to him at that time. The examination lasted over a space of three weeks, and the paper was taken there every day for examination. The witnesses failed to identify Beaver, and he was sentenced to find security for three months, or quit the colony; he quitted the colony.\n\nThis paper was never to my knowledge in Mr Caldwell's possession. He saw it, but I don't know that he read it at the Police Court. After the investigation was over, Beaver asked for his papers, but Mr Mitchell said that they were to be retained.\n\nThe last time I saw the paper was at the Magistracy, when he was committed to the Gaol upon not being able to find security. I have not seen it since. I have looked over the papers in the Magistracy, and that document is not attached to the case.\n\nBeaver told me that he had been in the employ of Mr Caldwell and Ma-chow Wong on board a lorcha. If I had not been told, I should not have taken my witnesses to Mr Caldwell, on account of Beaver having been in Ma-chow Wong's employ before.\n\nI told Mr May about the paper while the trial was going on. I know from reference to my chart, that Luy-chow near Hainan is from 8 to 10 miles from the mouth of a river. It stands a little way back from the shore. I have been past, but never in it.\n\n[Read Lyons' evidence concerning his visit to the Gaol to inquire about Beaver and the paper, and Beaver's conversation with himself.]\n\nI agree with nearly every portion of it. Beaver himself told me that he was with Akwai. I was at Boggs's trial, and saw the paper produced. I do not know what was done with it.\n\nI had seen the paper at the Police Station, and knew that Boggs was going to produce it. I believe the paper was in a tin box which he had. It was given into the hands of the Constable, and carried to the Supreme Court in the usual way.\n\nI read it, and recollect it saying something about Ma-chow Wong, the brother or brother-in-law of Mr Caldwell, being a good man, and recommending him. I have an idea it said something about provisions.\n\nI do not know whether the paper was produced at the Police Court. I thought the paper was in Mr Caldwell's handwriting, but am not certain of it. I do not recollect his signature being to it; it might have been.\n\nCan swear to Mr Caldwell's handwriting now, but could not then. Boggs told me the paper was from Mr Caldwell, and told me to take care of it as he would produce it on his defence.\n\nI do not know what connection ever existed between Mr Caldwell and Boggs, further than that Boggs was in Akwai's lorcha, which was said to be connected with Ma-chow Wong.\n\nI heard the evidence of Randoll and Stone, and do not agree in their version of our conversation. Mr Randoll told me that $5,000 was the first agreement, and that $12,000 was subsequently paid for the bombardment of the village.\n\nRandall said nothing about the pirates taking any boats from Ma-mee. The pirates were captured and taken into Ma-mee. He then told me that he was very much disappointed in not being able to capture the junk which was loaded with opium.\n\nI asked him how he knew she was a pirate. He said, \"they did not care what the devil she was, so that she had the opium on board.\" Randall did tell me that they got $12,000 for bombarding the village at Swatow, and made use of the word squeeze with reference to it.\n\nHe said his share was $500, and the Engineer's $250. I knew that Mr Caldwell was master of the Eaglet and know nothing of her cruises except that she convoyed. I never saw her out at sea.\n\nAt one time I was in her neighbourhood, and saw part of her convoy. I was then going to Hoihow on the West Coast, and was told it was part of her convoy, but did not see the steamer.\n\nI do not know whom she was owned by.\n\nMANOEL DA SILVA, Sergeant in the Water Police,—Called and examined.\n\nI remember the apprehension of Po-Pak-Shing on a charge of piracy. I had his boats and family in custody, and believe they, the boat and family, were connected...\n\n(77)\n\nPage 365",

        "content_text": "July 11th. Having left the anchorage off the Pei-ho, on the 11th instant, to visit the American Commodore on the U. S. S. \"Powhatan,\" he informed us that he had heard from a low, but credible source (probably Christian Chinese, as he had 3 Missionaries on board), that there were 12 European prisoners at Tien-tsin, well treated.\n\nIf true, these must be wounded, picked up on the mud on the morning of the 26th.\n\nHe promised, should they go to Pekin, to endeavour to procure their release.\n\nHe told us that the mouth of the northern river, up which the Chinese intended us to go, was strongly fortified, not so much as at Tung-koo, but sufficiently so to render a passage impracticable. The nature of the forts, the river, soundings, bar, &c., all are similar to those at the \"Pei-ho.\"\n\nJuly 14th.-Arrived at the town called on the chart \"Che-foo.\"\n\nWere told the proper name is \"Yen-tai,\" in the township of \"Foo-shan\" and district of \"Peng-choo-foo.\"\n\nWe found here 3 or 4 English vessels, and a number of Siamese, also great numbers of junks.\n\nOur vessels had opium and piece-goods for sale. The others principally sugar; after selling which they fill up with corn, beans, &c., to take south.\n\n\"Yen-tai,\" in \"Miao-tao\" straits.\n\nThe town is small, but well built, close to the sea-side, without a wall, and comprised within a rectangle of about 600 yards by 400. The houses of masonry and sun-burnt blue brick, tiled or thatched.\n\nThe mode of tiling is as follows:\n\nThe rafters are strong, and about 10 feet apart, with purlins crossing them about every 5 or 6 feet; over them are laid fascines, composed each of about 6 or 8 reeds as thick as a man's finger. When laid, these are plastered over, and the tiles are laid over all.\n\nEvery house is provided with windows closed by shutters. Small coal was to be seen, but it is only used for smith's work, &c. In the winter, the people content themselves with heaping on clothes instead of having fires.\n\nGreat quantities of mules and donkeys are seen here. They are all shod.\n\nThere appears to be a considerable inland trade, as strings of these animals are continually passing in and out of the town.\n\nA few sheep may be bought here at about 1500 to 2000 cash each. Fowls 10 for a dollar, and eggs 100 for a dollar. Vegetables in great quantities; also apples, pears, peaches, apricots, pomegranates, &c.\n\nThe inhabitants say they have no bullocks beyond the number necessary for tilling the ground, and are of course unwilling to sell them.\n\nThe price of a mule is about 30,000 (30$.) They are very sleek and well-cared for.\n\nPAGE 354\n\n \nPAGE 16\n\n16\n\nPAGE 17\n\n17\n\nPAGE 18\n\n18\n\nPAGE 19\n\n19\n\n19\n\nPAGE 20\n\n10\n\n5\n\nJournal of Captain Fisher, &c.\n\n354",

A junk which left Hongkong at about same time kept near us all night. We had guns on board a 6 pounder and a 4 pounder, we fired them during the night, firing in the offing. Weighed at 6 A.M. of the 15th instant the junk was not then in sight. As we neared Pedra Branca observed what we supposed to be the same junk on our weather quarter. We loaded the guns going about 2 knots an hour. Malay crew, got up an alarm, 10 muskets, and swords. I called the men aft and asked if they would fight; they said yes. I served out the arms and manned the guns, at about 5:30 P.M. I went down to dinner, the junk about one mile off. The serung who was in charge on deck called out that the junk was hoisting a basket with stink-pots. I ran on deck, made a man carry my wife into fore-top and remain with her. The junk came down on us firing many guns, the shots going through the sails but not striking any one. We fired back with guns and as she neared we fired small arms. At first I saw only a few men on deck, she had two heavy guns. She came right alongside and threw stink-pots on board us and at the same time about 40 men came up the junk's hatchway and leaped on board the Cæsar. They were armed with axes, fire arms, lances, and halberts. As it was useless resisting any longer I ordered my men up to the fore top and went myself. Previous to this, in firing the pounder gun, my mate had injured his foot. He could not get aloft so went down the fore hatch. 7 of my crew remained with him and about 11 were aloft with me.\n\nThe Chinese fired several times after getting on board. They then ransacked the cabins taking all the clothes, charts, and instruments. They then saw that some of us were aloft. I called to them that I wanted to see the head man of the junk, one man stepped out with a rifle in his hand and ordered me to go down on deck. I refused and he fired at me but did not strike me. Two men were then sent after me, the first who came I kicked down. After some time he went down and I followed. When I got down the master of the junk struck me in the arm with the back of a sword. He asked me for the opium which was on board. I told them there was none. It was then called out that a steamer was coming. The master of the junk remained with 25 of his men on board of my vessel. The rest of his men went to the junk and she cast off.\n\nI was kept at the wheel and called my men down, my wife remained aloft with one man. My crew were put below the fore hatch and a cable put on the top of it. I was locked up in a cabin and the steward was sent to the wheel. Two men were then sent up for my wife and after a while hearing her scream out, I got through the cabin window and went after her and brought her down. The junk was then about a mile to windward of us. This was about 7 o'clock. My wife and myself were locked up in the cabin and three men placed to guard us.\n\nThe junk then came back to the ship and made fast, they called my crew up from below and made them put my guns into her. They then began taking out the cargo which consisted of rice. I did not know the time, but think that about midnight they left the ship cutting all the ropes before going. It was too dark to see which way she stood. My steward told me that he had heard them say they were going to Canton. Four of them spoke very fair English and one spoke Malay. The Captain of the junk told me that should we go to Hongkong or he would kill me. He left a chart for Amoy on board, and gave back the mate's quadrant. I asked for a barometer as I wished to know when a typhoon was coming, he gave me one but it had belonged to another ship. I pointed this out to him but he said \"muskee, this is the third one I have taken to-day,\" the others were a schooner and a barque. Two of the men had rings on their fingers, I asked for one supposing it to have been my wife's, he gave me one but not my wife's, it is marked \"M. L. 1858.\" The barometer is made by J. P. Moller, 118 Minories, London. The pirates stove my boats and took the oars and rowlocks.\n\nThe following day I saw a brig to windward and a ship to leeward and hoisted a signal. The `Everest`, British ship, came near and assisted me. He lent me a mate, and I ran the best of my way back to Hongkong. I anchored outside the Green Island this morning at 10 and came in a boat. When I anchored a junk passed near, the crew of which my men and myself recognised.\n\n### Deposition of Master of \"Casar\"\n\n(Signed) I. I.

Remounts on.\n\nInclesing.\n\n\"China Mail\"\n\n26th July 1866.\n\nIn 9189/66\n\n155\n\nDESTRUCTION OF PIRATICAL\n\nFLEET BY H. M. SHIPS OPOSSUM & OSPREY.\n\nWe have been favoured with the following account of the proceedings of H. M. Ships Osprey and Opossum during their recent cruise in search of Pirates.\n\nH. M. S. Osprey, Commander Wm. Menzies, left Hongkong on the 12th July, 1866, with the Gun Boat Opossum, Lieut. Commander Mainwaring, in search of pirates. They proceeded to Nowchow Island and thence to Quan Chou Wan, on leaving which place on the 16th instant, the Osprey unfortunately got on shore, owing it is stated to incorrectness in the chart supplied, but being under steam, with the assistance of the Opossum, and the rising tide was got off again without accident. They then continued their cruise to Hainan, searching several Bays and Creeks, as well as overhauling some Junks met with at sea, but without success until the 18th instant when on going into Ty-Yu-Lin-Kan Bay information was obtained that a number of piratical Junks were anchored at Sama or Samoy Bay. The Osprey immediately got under weigh and, followed by the Opossum, steamed in search of them. At about a quarter to 1 P.M. the Opossum made signal that several Junks were in sight. A few minutes after the Osprey having taken up position, which there was great difficulty in doing, owing to the shallowness of the water, commenced the action by opening fire with her 68 pdr. Pivot Gun, and almost immediately after with her 7 inch Armstrong Pivot Gun. The Opossum from her lighter draft of water was able to get nearer the enemy and at 1 P.M. opened fire.\n\nThe junks were in an admirably defended position, being anchored in a creek, the sides of which to a great extent protected them from the Osprey's fire. Just before the Opossum commenced the attack two of the heaviest armed Junks, one of which was afterward found to carry 16 large guns, opened on the Osprey with shell and rockets, and shortly afterwards the other junks commenced firing on both vessels. The action was briskly sustained on both sides, the Junks keeping up a very well directed fire, from which however, the high bank to the Northward of the Piratical craft much protected the Osprey as only a portion of their guns could be brought to bear on her, but the same cause prevented the Osprey from doing as much execution as she otherwise would have done it being impossible to get her opposite the mouth of the Creek there being only 1 Fathom of water. The firing was continued on both sides until 3 P.M. when it was determined to land and take the Village and Junks. A party of about 60 men, Blue Jackets and Marines, were accordingly landed from the two vessels, under the command of Commander Menzies, accompanied by Mr. Greet, Assist. Paymaster as Aide de camp, Lieutenant Meade and Mr. Sanders Gunner from H. M. S. Osprey and Mr. H. Thomas Boatswain of Opossum.\n\nThe landing was effected without opposition about half a mile from the creek, the Guns of the two ships (which were manned by various idlers and boys, as of course the best men were selected for landing) still engaging the junks.\n\nThe landing party passed over a slight undulation of ground and approached the village and creek, in which the junks were anchored, from the Westward. A hill above them was occupied by a party of Chinese who kept up a fire until dislodged by some men told off for the purpose. Passing round the base of the hill the men rushed on with a cheer and drove the enemy from the village to the junks, which they were also obliged to abandon and escape to the other side from the heavy and rapid fire kept up by the blue Jackets and marines, notwithstanding the efforts of the Pirates to check them by a well sustained fire of Guns and small arms.\n\nCommander Menzies then gave orders to board and set fire to the Junks which was rapidly done. Lieutenant Meade was most active in this duty and himself fired several. The total number destroyed was 22, some of them being very large and the number of men was estimated at over 700. The execution done was very great, and it was altogether a most dashing and gallant affair. Of the Junks destroyed 1 carried 17 Guns, 7 were of 15 Guns, 9 of 12, and 4 of a smaller number. It was a powerful force to attack with a sloop of 4 Guns and a Gun Boat.\n\nAfter the engagement the Villagers stated that the number of killed amounted to 130 but this is greatly over the mark; about 80 or 30 would be the probable number. One seaman belonging to H.M.S. Osprey was severely wounded by the fire from the Chinese who occupied the top of the hill during the first advance; he was struck in the leg by a musket ball and taken back to the boats which had been left near the original point of debarkation in charge of Mr. Paymaster Scriven and a few men and conveyed on board the Osprey.\n\nThe Mandarin Lyang who accompanied the expedition was unfortunately mortally wounded while gallantly trying to cross the creek; he was struck in the left arm and his elbow much injured (compound fracture) he however persisted in pressing on with a couple of the Osprey's blue jackets, and they had captured 4 prisoners when the Lyang received a Musket or Rifle Ball in the bowels, and fell. The men in the boat brought him out of action but before they were clear of the enemy's fire he received a third wound, this time in the left leg, two of the prisoners being also wounded by the fire kept up by the pirates. He was at once conveyed out of the creek in the same sampan, towards the boats, one of which immediately embarked and took him to the Osprey in order that Medical assistance might be afforded. He died on the evening of the 21st inst., much to the regret of the Officers, by whom he was much liked, and who appreciated his brave conduct.\n\nThe Osprey left Sama Bay on the evening of the 20th with the Opossum gun boat in tow and arrived here on the 23rd.\n\nThe Opossum landed the mortal remains of the Mandarin Lyang at Kowloon this morning where they were received with all the honour due to the Rank of the deceased. They will be sent to Canton tomorrow for interment.\n\nSince writing the above we have learned that the piratical fleet consisted of three separate squadrons. Two of the chiefs came from Macao and the other from Cochinchina. The latter had hauled his junks into the creek hoping to escape observation having been informed of the proximity of H. M. ships.\n\nThe burning of the junks is stated to have been a most picturesque sight. The calibre of the guns carried varied from 32 to 4 pounders; each of the junks carried stinkpots at the mast heads.\n\nPage 155\n\nPage 155\n\nPage 155",

This danger was searched for in the Drake without success, and the fishermen most positively asserted that no other Rock than the Mackinnon exists in the Channel.

Assuming East Lamock Island to be correctly laid down; from its South-east point the North Rock bears N. 38° E. instead of N. 22° E., and the Island between North Rock and East Lamock Island bears from the South-east point of East Lamock Island N. 29° E. instead of N, 15° E., as shewn on the Chart, (see Admiralty Chart, Namoa Island, No. 1957.)\n\nThe distances shewn on the Chart are correct. The South-east extremity of East Lamock Island is in line with the South-east extremity of North Kock on the bearing S. 42° W. iustead of S. 25o W.\n\nFrom the North-east point of North Rock the observed true bearing of Dome Island was found to be N. 67° 50′ W., agreeing with the Chart.\n\nTIMES ROCK situated to the North-eastward of the Lamock Islands, originally reported by Mr. Anderson of the schooner Times, (vide China Pilot, p. 104,) and on which several vessels have recently struck, is a dangerous coral pinnacle with only 9 feet over it at low water. From it the North Rock of Lamock Islands bears S. 37° W., distant a little over a mile; and Dome Island N. 73° 30′ W., distant 12 miles.\n\nWhen on the Rock the East bluff of East Lamock Island is just scen open Westward of the Western apex of North Rock, the extremes of the Islands subtending an angle of 13° 11'.\n\nThe High Lamock, opens North-westward of East Lamock clears the Rock to the North-westward; and opens South-eastward of it, clears the Rock to the South-eastward.\n\nTo avoid this danger, the angle subtended by the Lamock Islands should not be greater than 10°, when the High Lamook is shut in.\n\nThe Times, and other vessels placed this Rock farther from the Islands, but on nearly the same bearing as given above. The distance, which with them must have been mere guess work, was carefully measured from H. M. gun-boat Drake, whilst at anchor on the Rock. Its position as marked on the Admiralty Chart, from the authority of Mr. Anderson, was sounded over, but no danger could be discovered, and the fishermen, who were offered a reward to point out any other Rocks, assert that none other exist in that vicinity.\n\nNo. 117.\n\nGOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.\n\nIt is hereby notified that His Excellency the GOVERNOR has appointed N.

The difficulties that will have to be encountered in the attempt to establish female and family Emigration from China to the British West India Colonies may be gathered from a paragraph in the published reports of Mr. Cecil Smith, the Registrar General of Hong Kong, on the census of last year; but at the same time it is encouraging, showing as it does that the prejudices of the natives on that point are to be overcome. Mr. Smith says:— \"I would now next draw attention to Return No. 3, which shows that during \"the past year, a fair increase in the number of buildings for the Chinese, \"and in the number of families, viz., 189, over the previous year, which \"settled in the Colony. This latter point is, I hold, of considerable importance as evincing a gradual surmounting on the part of native residents, \"of old prejudices, formerly deemed insurmountable by many, against bringing their wives and families to live in a British Colony, or indeed in 'any place out of their own country.\"\n\nCALCUTTA,\n\n17th July, 1868.\n\nTHORNTON WARNER,\n\nEmigration Agent for Trinidad at Calcutta.\n\nSINCE this Report was printed, several numbers of the \"China Mail\" have come to hand, from which I have extracted the following regarding two ships, the \"Esperance,\" and the \"Theresa,\" (See Appendix No. 7) that left Macao in the early part of this year.\n\nPage 65\n\nChina Mail of the 26th June 1868.- From Table Bay is reported a serious mutiny of “coolies, 300 of whom were on board the French ship \"Esperance,\" 391 tons, Captain Noel, from Macao, January 5th, for Havannah, which put into the bay on 25th March for water \"and provisions. The following are the particulars of the affair: - The coolies were confined below, and were apparently as unwilling voyagers as English convicts en route for an Australian settlement. On the passage they made a desperate effort to recover their liberty. “The vessel left Macao in charge of her owner, Captain Boyce. On her fifteenth day at sea \"a fresh breeze sprang up, which necessitated her sail being reduced rapidly. The crew not being strong enough to do this by themselves, 50 of the coolies were brought up from below \"to assist in shortening sail. They were distributed about in gangs, and the crew went aloft \"to reef and furl. While the crew were aloft, the coolies rushed into the cabin to get at the arms. Captain Boyce, who was at the wheel, left it, and called to the crew, and rushed in \"to the saloon sword in hand after the coolies, who were just getting out the ship's arms. \"A desperate conflict ensued, in which Captain Boyce was very severely wounded, and narrowly escaped with his life before the crew came to his assistance. The coolies were at length got under, their leader being killed in the émeute. Captain Boyce had subsequently to be left at Aujir for a passage, via Batavia to England. The \"Esperance\" left Table Bay, March 28th for Havannah.”\n\nPage 66\n\nChina Mail of the 18th July 1868.- \"I drop you a few lines, which I am sure you will give space to. The Italian ship \"Theresa\" arrived in Macao yesterday morning, having \"left the above named port for Callao about five months ago, and brings with her one of the \"most dreadful tales of mutiny which I have heard for many years.\n\n\"It appears from the statement of the Captain, Bolos, that she sailed from Macao with 296 coolies, and general cargo of silk, tea, &c., on the 3rd of February last. Things seem \"to have been as usual, and after a passage of sixty-two days, land was sighted, which proved to be New Zealand. While the men were employed in the fore part of the ship, a \"rush was made aft by the coolies to seize the cabin and arms, which they accomplished, \"and before ten minutes had elapsed, twelve of the crew were killed, cut to pieces, and \"thrown overboard; the second mate was also killed on the top-gallant fore-castle while fighting manfully by one of the ship's crew who shot him with a rifle to save his own life. \"The mate had seventeen wounds and was placed in irons, and after eighty days' torture, \"such as driving nails into his head, &c., was killed about two days before the ship arrived \"off the coast of China. But now comes the most horrid part of this story. The Hakkas \"and Puntis, after the ship was taken, had a free fight, and in less than two hours fifty were killed and their heads taken off; after which they were placed in boxes and put in the \"ship's hold. The stench after sixty days was dreadful, and to add to this the Captain's \"wife was placed in the 'tween decks, and not treated with the greatest kindness.\n\n\"There is no doubt but the greater part of the coolies were pirates, as they made the Captain steer for the harbour of Tin-pack, and had quite a knowledge of the use of the compass and of the chart.\n\n\"The ship, after anchoring in the port of Tin-pack, was stripped of everything of value, \"and in this plunder we are informed, the Mandarins gave every assistance. The ship's \"name was taken off all her boats, and after many trials she reached Macao Roads yesterday \"with a crew of about eight Europeans alive, including the Captain's wife.\"\n\nThese fearful results I attribute entirely to the pernicious system prevailing at Macao.\n\nTHORNTON WARNER.\n\nCalcutta, 11th August 1868.\n\nPage 796",

They did not say anything about any man on board the Oneida having been injured. I went down into the saloon with Captain Eyre. I was talking with lady passengers, who told me that the shock was like a slight grazing, like running on a rock easily. The ladies were Lady Parkes and Miss Binns. Lady Parkes told me she was in the saloon; and that when she felt the collision, she had run out. She said she had run outside the saloon, thinking that if they had struck on a rock, she would have a better chance for a boat. She did not say anything about having seen the other vessel. The other lady did not say anything to me. I was talking to Lady Parkes. Captain Eyre told me that he did not seem to have sustained much damage, because his anchors were hanging at his bows all right. Afterwards he told me they had found a spar through the stem. The impression I had was, that he had discovered it while I was on board. I did not hear anything about what quantity of water the Bombay had made. Mr. Henderson, the midshipman, was present on deck while I was talking to the Captain.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG--It was chiefly from the way in which I was told that I thought that the Oneida had not sustained much damage. I did not go on board again that night. I believe Mr. Fanshawe and Mr. Gough both went on board the next morning.\n\n(Signed) THOMAS H. LEVENTHORPE.\n\nHUGH GEORGE GOUGH, Sworn, states:-I am a sub-lieutenant on board H.M.S. Ocean. I was officer of the watch when a boat came alongside on the morning of the 25th ultimo with the Doctor of the Oneida, at about a quarter past five o'clock on that morning. An officer who told me he was the Doctor of the Oneida came on board and said: \"that about seven o'clock the night before the Oneida had been run into by a steamer and that he had reason to believe that she had since sunk.\" He told me that he had got away in a boat with some sixteen men, and chased a junk to try and get her to come back to their relief; that he could not catch the junk and turned to go back to the ship but couldn't see her anywhere; he then pulled for the shore and walked to Yokohama, took a native boat and came on board the Ocean. I reported it to Captain Tinkler, who told me to have some other officer called and to send to the Sylvia to get up steam at once. Meantime, an officer came from the Idaho and told me just what the Oneida's doctor had previously related to me. Captain Tinkler told me to ask him to take me on board the Bombay, and that I was to request the Captain of the Bombay, as he was the only ship in the harbour with steam up, to go down to where the accident took place and see what he could do. I went on board and asked for the Captain; when he came out of his cabin, I gave him Captain Tinkler's request; he replied, \"I can't; I've got a hole in my bows.\" I asked him if that was his answer, and he sent for his chief officer; he asked the chief officer how much water there was in the hold or compartment? and the officer answered about nine feet: the Captain then said: \"do you hear that?\" I said yes, and that I wanted an answer, yes or no. He then said, \"no, I can't.\" I then went away.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG--I did not go from the Ocean to the Agent's house.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD--All I remember Captain Eyre saying is, \"no, I can't,\" when he heard there were nine feet of water in the hold.\n\n(Signed) HUGH E. GOUGH.\n\nARTHUR DALRYMPLE FANSHAWE, Sworn, states.-I am a Lieutenant of H.M.S. Ocean. I went on board the Bombay at about 20 minutes past seven on the morning of the 25th ultimo, in accordance with orders from my commanding officer, to entreat the Captain of the Bombay to go out at once, to the assistance of the Oneida, and to represent to him that he was the only ship in the anchorage with steam up; which message I delivered to the Captain of the Bombay on arriving on board. His reply was, \"will you tell your commanding officer that I have 9 feet of water in my foremost compartment, and 18 inches in my second compartment; and that I should not have gone out had I not received a message from my agent; but that now I am getting under weigh to go out immediately.\" Giving me to understand that the reason why he should not have gone out was on account of his having 9 feet of water, or was on account of his ship not being fit to go. I then left the Bombay; and noticed when about a hundred yards from her, that she was already under weigh.\n\n(Signed) ARTHUR D. FANSHAWE.\n\nThe answers to the questions addressed to the gentlemen who were asked to examine the bows of the Bombay, were read and marked Nos. 1, 2, and 3.\n\nALFRED STEELE PERKINS, Sworn, states.--I am the doctor of the Bombay. To my knowledge I have not said that I could see into the saloons of the vessel, into which the Bombay ran. I could not see into the Oneida's saloon. I saw her passing us after the collision. I merely saw the dark mass of a ship and the glimmer of a light, as far as I could judge. I saw no person or persons on board the Oneida. I saw no portion of her interior through a hole or breach in the Oneida. I only saw a light or glimmering, and could not see where it came from.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG--I have seen Lieut. Clements before. I had a conversation with him but whether on the 24th or 25th, I cannot say. I cannot state what I said to him, having no distinct recollection of what I said. I certainly did not say to him that after the collision I could see the lights in the other vessel's cabins; nor did I hear Captain Eyre make such a statement. The other vessel passed so quickly, that I really could not describe what I saw, further than that I saw the glimmer of a light at the side of the ship. I would see no distinct outline of the hole through which the light came, as she passed by us so quickly. I did not hear the other vessel's whistle. I did not hear the report of any gun from her. I did not see the flash of any gun. I heard a hail from her deck. I heard \"steamer ahoy\" once only. I fancied I saw something in the sea floating by the side of our ship; but I cannot swear to it; it was too indistinct to form any opinion of its size. I was standing just outside the saloon door near the break of the poop.\n\nI did not communicate to Captain Eyre, or to any of the officers of the Bombay what I had seen. I did not see anything like a man, a table, or anything else through the light on the other ship. I did not hear any order to shorten sail on board the other vessel. I cannot say how long the other ship remained in sight. I was in the saloon at the time of the collision. I then ran out and looked over the side, then I went into the saloon again. I went up on the poop and it was then that I heard the hail. She was then, I should say, 20 or 30 yards astern of us: but I could not judge the distance. I should say she remained within my sight from 2 to 3 minutes after I went up to the poop.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD--I never heard Captain Eyre say to anyone he could see into the cabin or saloon of the other vessel.\n\nTo the COURT--The effect of the collision upon me in the saloon was nothing. I was sitting down and scarcely felt the shock; the vessel did not seem to stagger after the shock, from what I felt. I thought she had run into some junk or fishing boat. I thought so because of the slightness of the shock. There were some ladies in the cabin, at the time of the collision. They appeared to be rather startled, but not very much frightened, and Captain Eyre came down from the bridge, after the collision a little before we got into harbour to speak to the ladies. I did not take note of what he said to them. Those in the cabin jumped up and made toward the door after the collision; only the two ladies and I were in the cabin at the time of the collision. After the collision the ladies resumed the game they were playing, either backgammon or something, I don't know what.\n\n(Signed) ALFRED STEELE PERKINS.\n\nAdjourned till 9 A.M. to-morrow.\n\n## SIXTH DAY\n\n### WEDNESDAY, 2ND FEBRUARY, 1870\n\nProceedings resumed at 9 A.M. on Wednesday, the 2nd February, 1870.\n\nCapt. EYRE, allowed to say a few words before the next witness was examined, states that he was worried and anxious at the time the officers of the Ocean came on board; and he exceedingly regrets, if he made use of any discourteous expressions. Mutual apologies for any show of feeling were then exchanged between Capt. Eyre and Mr. De Long; the latter gentleman stating that he was not influenced by any feeling of revenge in the conduct of this inquiry.\n\nGEORGE WILLS, sworn, states.-I reside at the International Hotel. I was in the bar-room of that hotel on the evening of the 24th of last month. Captain Hütz and Mr. Curtis and I were sitting at the stove. I saw Mr. Hamerton, the 3rd officer of the Bombay, standing at the bar, at about 10 or 11 yards distant from us. I am an Englishman. I did not hear Mr. Hamerton make any statement relative to the collision. I heard the steward say something, I cannot exactly remember what. I know the conversation occurred; but I heard the chief steward say he had been below washing his face, when he felt a kind of a shock. He said he hardly stopped to wipe his face, but ran on deck where he met the carpenter, and inquired of him what was the matter. The carpenter informed him there had been a collision, and that a hole had been made in the other ship, large enough to look into the cabin. Mr. Curtis was sitting at the stove and remarked \"oh, there is a job for the carpenters there.\" The steward then walked toward the bar where Mr. Hamerton was. As he was walking toward the bar, Captain Hütz called out to him, \"did you not stop?\" Mr. Hamerton answered \"no.\" Captain Hütz then said, \"why not?\" Mr. Hamerton made answer, \"I cannot say, that's where the mistake is,\" or words to that effect. Afterwards I heard some conversation going on, as to whether the ship's hull was of pine or oak; that is all I heard.\n\n(Signed) GEORGE WILLS.\n\nJAMES CAVANAGH, sworn, states.--Between 6 and 7 P.M. on the 24th ultimo, I was at Kanonsaki. This is to the best of my knowledge about three miles from the buoy on Saratoga spit. On that night I heard the report of four guns. I heard them one after another. I thought there was a minute between each. I thought the mail steamer was on the spit perhaps. I have been a pilot about ten years in Japan. I have never piloted any mail steamers into the harbour. Steamers generally steer mid-channel after passing Kanonsaki, except you want to make the buoy. N. by W. half W. will fetch the buoy on the starboard side. This course will make the buoy about fifty yards on the starboard side. This would be the course by day or night.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD--If I saw three lights half a point on my port bow, I should port my helm. I should put it either \"hard a port\" or \"hard a starboard,\" to keep clear of her. If I saw a red light on my starboard bow, both ships would give way. It would be my duty to give way as well as the duty of the other vessel. I have taken ships up and down the channel, both before and after the light-house was erected. In piloting a vessel in or out, I never look at the chart. I should not take bearings of the light by the chart. The light-house is of use on a dark night to show vessels the way in. I am not aware that in navigating a channel it is customary to keep to the starboard side of such channel. If it were two steamers, it would not make any difference to me which side of the channel I went. If in rounding Kanonsaki, I saw another steamer coming down from the harbour, I should think it my duty to port my helm so as to give her a wider berth. In going down Yedo bay, it is usual to steer for Perry's Island until you pass Saratoga spit. In proceeding from Kanonsaki to Saratoga spit, I should judge my distance from the spit by the lights at Yokoska. On a dark night, I think I could judge my distance from Yokoska lights sufficiently well to give the Saratoga spit a close berth without taking the bearings of the light-house. I should judge Saratoga spit to be clear to the North when Perry's Island bore W.S.W. In going out of the harbour, if I saw a steamer's lights, I should imagine that she was coming end on or nearly end on. I don't know what the other vessel would do. I should port my own helm, or else starboard it.\n\nTo the COURT--I was on shore when I heard the guns. I did not carry a watch. I think it was about 40 or 45 minutes past six that I heard those guns; that was about the time as nearly as I could guess. The clock in the light-house had stopped. I should think it to be now 3 past 10 or 11 o'clock (N.B. It was seven minutes past ten.) I saw the mast-head light and the port light of the mail boat from Kanonsaki. I should think it was about five minutes past six when I saw her about three-quarters of a mile off Kanonsaki. I did not see the lights of any ships coming down the channel. I was in a house when the first gun fired; and by the time I had my boots on, the fourth gun had fired. A friend of mine saw the flash of the fourth gun; and I immediately thought that the mail boat had gone on to the spit. I saw no rockets fired nor blue lights burned. I had not my boat with me. I could have got a Japanese fishing boat. I thought I would wait till daylight to go and see what it was, as there were only two Japanese in a small boat; and I could not see the mast-head lights of the steamer when I heard the gun. I imagined that the ship from which they were fired was in danger. I did think it worth while to go to her; but did not wish to force the Japanese to go off to her. I did offer them ten boos to take me off to the ship from which the guns had fired. They did not ask me any fixed sum, for which they would take me off. I think it was three boos that I paid the boatman for taking me from the Plymouth rocks to the light-house. Had they taken me on board the mail steamer, I should have given them five boos. I offered them ten boos to take me where the guns were fired from. I stopped at the light-house because the boat would not take me farther on that...",

        "content_text": "324\n\n\nnight. I arrived at the light-house at about three or a quarter past three o'clock in the afternoon. I waited there in order to try and get a passage up by a steamer, the smoke of which I saw at Caps Sagami. I did put off to the mail steamer when she was quite abreast of Kisousaki point. I went, I suppose, better than half a mile. There were two men in the boat. The steamer was going from 8 to 8.5 knots. I should think she was to the North of Kanousaki point when I turned round and left her. It took about ten minutes to pull back to the shore. When I got on shore, I went into the Japanese hotel again and finished dinner. It was about twenty-five minutes after I entered the hotel that I heard the guns. A man called Broderick was with me at dinner at the hotel. Have been in Japan going on for 11 years. I am an American citizen. There was only one foreigner besides myself, and ten to fifteen Japanese if not more. There are only three boats where I was. You could get plenty more by going about a mile. I am not aware that Broderick endeavoured to induce any Japanese to put off after hearing the guns. I did not consult with Broderick whether we should put off or not. I knew it was no use to offer any more than ten boos, as the boatmen would not go out at all. I am quite certain that I only heard four guns.\n\nSince I have been in Japan, I have been sent to San Francisco to stand my trial on a criminal charge. I decline to answer with what offence I was charged. I don't know if I was convicted of that offence. I decline to answer the question any way. I don't hold any license or written permission to act as a pilot here. I did not try to get the boats which were lying a mile off to go out, as I knew they would not go; besides the night was dark. I did not see any lights on the spit. I of course should have gone to get the other boats to go out, had I thought that the guns I heard were a signal that life was in danger, or that a ship was sinking in mid-channel. My impression was, that the vessel was on shore, and that there was no danger to life. The Japanese would not take me off, because they were not servants of mine. At the time I wanted to go off, there was a nice breeze from N. N. E. Broderick is somewhere in Yokohama. I don't know if he is a sailor or not. He has lately arrived from Nagasaki. I have never had charge of a ship as master. I was chief officer of a sailing vessel for six or seven months.\n\nTo Mr. De Love. The crime for which I was put upon my trial, was not perjury.\n\nThere are three Japanese in the light-house; no European has been in charge for some time. There is no light put there. The clock I referred to as having been stopped, was the light-house clock; the Japanese told me it was broken. The Hotel is two hundred or two hundred and fifty yards from the light. A Japanese keeps the Hotel. Japanese use the Hotel principally, but a pilot can get a meal there.\n\n(Signed)\n\n**JAMES CAVANAGH**\n\nISAAC I. YATES, sworn, states. My rank in the American Navy is that of master, and that was my rank on board of the Oneida. I am considered to be a responsible officer to take charge of a ship. The Oneida left Yokohama at 5.15 P.M., on the 24th January bound for Hongkong. We were cheered by the various men-of-war as we left. The general understanding was that the ship was homeward bound. After passing the lightship, just outside the anchorage, Mr. Stewart, a Lieutenant Commander and executive officer having charge of the ship, set all plain sail. This brought the ship under sail and steam. He braced the yard something about 3 points. He braced them in with the starboard braces; the vessel was on the port tack. The port tacks were hauled on board some. At 5.45 as near as I can remember Mr. Stewart sent for me and asked me if it was my dock. I told him it was and I relieved him. He told me that the masthead and side lights were burning and the lookouts were stationed; the man at the lead both sides and the proper men at the wheel. He also told me, the course S. by E. ¼ E. Mr. Moldaur, the navigating officer, was also on the bridge. (I relieved Mr. Stewart on the bridge) I asked him after Mr. Stewart went away to assure myself of the course; he told me again S. by E. ¼ E. So we headed. At 6 o'clock I relieved the watch, sent the port watch on deck, and ordered the officer of the forecastle of the starboard watch, Mr. Adams, to heave the log. He reported her going 6 knots and 6 fathoms. I thought she might be going a little faster, so I asked him again, and he was positive. He asked me if he should put it in his log. I told him no, that we must make an allowance for the quarter of an hour during which we were at anchor. Mr. Adams was then relieved by Mr. Hall, a midshipman. Before this, when I asked Mr. Moldaur about the course, he told me he wanted me to send a quartermaster on to the forecastle with a glass on the port side to keep a lookout for Saratoga spit buoy, which he told me was somewhere on the port bow. I sent for a quartermaster, and found it was William Boyston, signal quartermaster; he reported to me with the glass. I told him to go on the forecastle, and keep a lookout for this buoy on the port bow, and he went there. At 6 o'clock, he was relieved by Thomas Woolley, quartermaster. At 7.20, as near as I can judge, I thought we were sort of drifting in to starboard as Kanonsaki was drawing more ahead; we had had it a point on the starboard bow. I thought we were sagging in toward the western shore. I sent for Mr. Moldaur and gave the order to starboard a little; the ship was heading out to port slowly; my object was to put the light to the same bearing; just then the quartermaster on the forecastle reported a steamer right ahead; and I saw a steamer's mast-head light coming round Kanousaki point, and this light passed from ahead to starboard; then when I turned round, I saw Mr. Moldaur, who asked me, \"what's the matter, Yates?\" I said, \"I think we are sagging into starboard, and I ordered the helm to starboard; and there is a steamer's mast-head light passing from ahead to starboard\"; but Mr. Moldaur said, \"I can't go any more to port, we must head our course.\" I asked the quartermaster how the ship then headed, he said S. E. by S., so that she must have came up 1 point and, then I ordered her on her course, and when she got there, the quartermaster reported her so; that course was S. by E. ¼ E. When the ship was on her course, we could see the steamer's mast-head light on our starboard bow and changing its bearing further aft. Not long after, Mr. Moldaur and I both saw her green light, and her mast-head light a point on our starboard bow. She was then evidently running nearly parallel to us, pretty well into the western or starboard shore. Mr. Moldaur said, \"you see her green light there\" and I said \"yes\" and he said, \"she'll pass to starboard of us\" which was also my idea. She was then over three miles off; we were on our course all the time, S. by E. ¼ E., and we were of course approaching each other. When the steamer was a mile off, three points on the starboard bow, I saw she had put her helm to port, by the new direction in which she headed; she headed right for our green light. I was standing on the starboard side of the bridge where I had been standing all the time since we had made this steamer, and I saw her heading for me; and the instant her red light opened (then I saw all three lights), I gave the order “starboard,” then \"hard a starboard.\" The quartermaster answered me from the wheel. We headed off rapidly to port and kept heading off that way; when this steamer was a short distance from me, I can't judge how far exactly, she put her helm to starboard. If she had not starboarded her helm when she did, she would have struck forward of the point which she did strike. I didn't hear any order given on the other steamer, but I saw evidently that she headed to port and that her helm must therefore have been starboarded. I heard no noise on the steamer, and saw no signals made of any kind before or after the collision. Just about the time of collision, someone sang out, \"what the hell are you doing?\" Whether it was to someone on board the Oneida or to someone on the Bombay, I cannot say. She struck our ship not long after starboarding her helm; her helm was a starboard when she struck us; she struck us about the starboard mizen rigging, right abreast as I should judge, and at an angle of about 40 to 45 degrees, and she cut off the whole of the quarter diagonally, and carried away the poop, which went over the side astern; she also carried away our spanker boom and gaff, the wheel and starboard binnacle. She cut the gig in two and smashed it all up. The only binnacle we had left was the one on the port side. My ship was unmanageable—entirely so. As soon as she struck, I gave orders to shorten sail; the square sails were taken off the ship, and the main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main and the square sails were taken off the ship, and the main-trysail too; the spanker was gone, but the head sails were not hauled down. As soon as she struck, the officers all rushed on deck. Captain Williams was brought on deck by two men, and Mr. Stewart, as soon as he touched the ship's deck, ran to the port side of the deck, jumped upon an arm chest near the rail, and sung out in a loud tone of voice, \"steamer ahoy, you have cut us down, remain by us.” The Bombay was at that time across the stern of the Oneida, but immediately went out of sight. I only heard Mr. Stewart shout out once, and I heard no one else hail the steamer. I heard no one answer from the Bombay. He then went down from the chest and said, \"for God's sake, aren't there any primers about here? where's Langman, where's the gunner's mate.\" All the primers that were aft were carried away, together with all the rockets that had been made up and all the blue lights and signals which might have been available—the lights were in a box made fast up underneath the poop fastened to the beams; the rockets were also made fast along the beams together; the boxes of primers were in the armouries which were situated on each side underneath the poop. Soon after, Thomas Stevenson got the primers, I believe, and Mr. Stewart and Mr. Adane loaded and fired a gun, it was the starboard No. 1, 3rd Division gun which was just forward of the bridge. Her calibre was thirty-two lbs. and the charge was 6 lbs. When the Captain came on deck, I told him that the ship had ported her helm and cut me down; he said, \"I know it, sir, but let us save the ship,\" and he gave orders to keep silence on deck. He then gave orders for shortening sail, but they had already commenced to do so. When I next saw the Captain, it was about a minute after I had just spoken to him; he asked me to go and see if the jib was easy. I went and saw, and came back and reported \"yes\" so he said that was right; then the order was given to set the foretopsail, with the idea of paying the ship off and running her ashore on the westward shore. There were several officers forward. I went forward and gave the order to man the topsail sheet. I saw Mr. Sargent there and then I heard Mr. Moldaur call out for me, and he wanted me to help him to get the pumps manned on deck; the carpenter was there and we got the pumps manned, and the men got to work on them; all the pumps were going, the steam pumps, and deck pumps, but the water was rising very rapidly, and the ship sinking very fast by the stern; just before she sank, Mr. Moldaur called me to see how she headed; I went aft and looked at the port binnacle, and she headed E. by N., and I judge that she must have run about two miles after the collision; she kept coming up all the time toward the eastward. (Just before the Bombay struck us, the officer on our forecastle called out, \"hard a port,\" but I didn't repeat his order, and I think his idea was to swing the ships parallel, as the Bombay was passing our centre. The Bombay's bow had got past the centre of our ship; the Bombay had already starboarded her helm). I then went and told Mr. Moldaur how she headed, and he told me to go on the bridge and tell the Captain. Mr. Moldaur was sounding with the lead, trying to find the bottom. I went up and told the Captain, but I don't remember that he said anything. Immediately Mr. Moldaur jumped on to the bridge and said, the ship would sink in three minutes by the stern; he begged the Captain to take to the boats; they had been clearing away the boats before this, and getting them ready to lower; the first and third cutters were the only boats we had after the collision except the dingy which was broken in two; she had been condemned and was only kept on the davits to stow gear in. But the Captain would give no orders to take to the boats; he replied to Mr. Moldaur, \"no, no—never mind the boats.\" I understood that Mr. Moldaur did, notwithstanding, give an order to take to the boats. About that time, the bridge was very near the water; just before it touched the water, I asked the Captain to jump with me into the cutter, which was a little way off; but he stood there. He made some reply, but I couldn't swear what the reply was; I think he said something about: \"I will sink with my ship\" but I thought that I would jump, so I jumped, and dropped my trumpet as I jumped. I sank. I had on cloth clothes and a heavy overcoat, and I came up and struck against the side of a boat with my head. I begged a man to haul me in; he laid hold of me and, while he was hauling me in, I turned my head to the right and I saw the foretopgallant mast sticking out of the water, but just going down, and when I got into the boat, I stood up and looked about for the ship, but I could see nothing of her, nor anything in the water then. Just then Mr. Crowninshield swam to the boat and begged me to haul him in; so we hauled him in. Then I saw an officer in his shirt sleeves, and he begged me to save him; he said, \"Yates, for God's sake save me.\" That was Mr. Stewart, the executive officer. I ordered the men to back down; they backed their oars, but he sank underneath the stern of the boat. I saw no other person but Mr. Stewart and Mr. Crowninshields. I may have seen Mr. Moldaur, but I won't be certain. I begged the men to stay by the ship and they did so, but we soon all saw that our boat was very full of men; they had quite a number in the boat when she was lowered, and half were hauled in afterwards. We had 44 in our boat; the boat was not very large, and there was a great deal of water in the boat, and the water was coming in a little; so orders were given to bail with shoes and hats. I soon saw that if we wanted to save ourselves, we would have to get on shore as soon as possible, and the men were clamouring to go on. They commenced to pull ahead. I begged them to stop, but they wouldn't; we headed for shore. I having given up all hope, we went before the wind, heading into land when possible, and steering with a long oar. At one time, just before we landed, we were very nearly capsized in the surf, but we finally all got on shore and landed at a village, just in a cove, this side of Kanonsaki light, that is, we landed on the rocks, whence we proceeded to the village. Some of us stayed there all night, but after I went to sleep, some of them straggled off. I got up in the morning, leaving Mr. Crowninshields and three men with him. I had started to walk on with a party of men and arrived at Yokoska at about 10 A.M. They treated us kindly there, and I found a number of my men there. I went out in a steam launch from Yokoska toward Kanonsaki, and met the Aspic, French gunboat; she had a boat astern with Mr. Lyons in charge. I got into the boat, and sent all my men in the launch to the Yangtze; then I went down in this boat with Mr. Lyons, towed by the Aspic. She soon cast us off, and we pulled in toward the shore; afterward I got into the English steam launch and we looked around the coast. I went into the English launch from Mr. Lyon's boat direct. I didn't go on shore, but I saw a Russian boat there, and the Captain of the Sylvia came alongside in his boat; then we went out in the launch down to the lightship, and then we went on shore, and I walked about on shore with some officers of the Idaho, and the Captain of the Sylvia also; this was about three o'clock.\n\nI then went on board the Sylvia, in which I came to Yokohama, and was then put on board the Idaho.\n\nAdjourned till 1.30 P.M.\n\nProceedings resumed at 1.30 P.M.\n\nMr. YATES said he had forgotten to mention that the Oneida's steam whistle was blowing from the time of the collision until just before the ship sunk. I saw the man Jacobson turn it on. Jacobson was lost.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG.—When I said that our lamps were out, I meant that they were out in the boxes; both side-lights and the masthead light were burning brightly. When we first saw the Bombay's red light, it was something over three minutes before the collision took place, as I saw all three lights and this vessel broad on my starboard bow, it was my duty to starboard my helm. If I had ported at that time, we should possibly have collided bows on; and I would no doubt have struck her on her starboard bow. If we had struck bows on, I think the Bombay would have cut into us very far. On leaving the anchorage, the Oneida passed to the East of the light-ship. I don't know exactly at what time we passed her. I saw the light-ship on our starboard side. The light-ship was about three cables lengths off when we passed. I relieved the deck at a quarter to six. The course passed to me on taking the deck was S. by E. ¼ E. I speak of the course by compass. I do know that there was not one-half of a degree deviation between the standard compass and the compass we were steering by. The navigator would know all these things. S. by E. ¼ E. was the course actually steered. And Mr. Moldaur, the navigating officer, would have made allowances for deviation and variation. The deviation of the compass on that course would not be over half a degree. I changed the course S. by E. ¼ E. once. I changed because I thought the ship was sagging into the Western shore. I headed up to S. E. by S. I headed up that way somewhere about four minutes. The next course to that was S. by E. quarter E. Mr. Moldaur ordered me to return to the original course; the reason was, \"I cannot stand any more to port.\" I left this latter course again on seeing a steamer on my starboard bow heading for me. I suppose about 12 or 15 minutes must have elapsed between the time that I received Mr. Moldaur's order to alter the course, and the time that I altered it on seeing the other steamer. The Bombay was three points on our starboard bow. When I deviated the second time, the vessels were about one mile apart at that time. I think the gun was fired four times from the Oneida; all the shots were from the same gun; the sound of the fourth was, I think, somewhat smothered, as the vessel was about sinking. The lieutenant wanted the gunner's mate to get primers and powder. I should judge the primers were got from forward; we fired four times from the same gun, because the primers and powder were at that gun; and I suppose Mr. Stewart kept them there. I only stayed there with him until he fired that one gun. None of the guns were loaded at the time of the collision. There were two lookouts on the forecastle, and one on the port side of the poop; those were all we had. One officer, Mr. Midshipman Hall, was on the forecastle all the time; there was also a quartermaster with a glass. I don't mean to say that all the signals on board, but that all that were quickly available, were lost, when the quarter was carried away. I should say that 30 seconds after the collision, the steam whistle was blown; and that five minutes elapsed before the first gun was fired. The Oneida floated fifteen minutes after collision. I think the tonnage of the Oneida was 1,030 tons, with the engine-room. (Admitted that the gross tonnage of the Bombay is 1,376 tons). The new tonnage of the Oneida was 695 tons. The Oneida had a poop-deck built up over the spar deck astern. There were double doors on each side of the deck, which closed this cabin in. Inside of this poop cabin, there was an armoury on each side; the tiller also came through there; and the relieving tackles were also in there. Abaft the tiller was a bath tub; and there were pegs in the cabin for coats. The officers need to hang their rain clothes in there. We also had large easy chairs in there. This place was used as a lounging and smoking room by the Captain and officers. Over-head, there were boxes for signals; there was a chart-table and a drawer with charts on the forward side against the bulk-head; it was quite a broad table. There was also spare gun-gear. There were always lamps kept in there; two were always kept alight in there at night. There were also some books; the log-book was sometimes kept in there. There was no cloth on the table: the colour of the table was a yellowish brown. The barometer and thermometers were in there. The cabin had two stern portes; and there were arrangements inside for setting off the life buoys. The Oneida's bridge was some distance, say one hundred feet, forward of the poop cabin. Outside the poop cabin on each side were water-closets. As regards the Captain's cabin, this was covered by a raised hatch with windows. There were windows in its sides. There was a movable slide to this hatch; \n\nEX",

        "content_text": "## Inquiry into the Glenlyon Steamship Incident\n\nWitness could only come on deck on the night of arrival, when he came up merely to give the order to cast anchor. If there had been bulwarks, they would not have saved the men from the tackles. If the ship had strong bulwarks, she must have foundered during the gale.\n\nBy Mr. Brereton, who appeared to watch the case on behalf of the ship, (through the Court): Witness did not know that the ship had been surveyed before taking in the Chinese passengers. Witness' first command was a steamer in July 1864. Witness had been frequently employed to carry Asiatics between ports in India, sometimes as many as one thousand at a time. Witness had nearly always carried the passengers on deck between Calcutta and the Straits Settlements. There was no accommodation in the between-decks for them.\n\nWitness was accustomed to carry passengers in that way on the coast of India, and the Straits Settlements. He had never lost a single passenger before. Captain Thomsett said he might not have met with a typhoon before. Witness replied that he had, and a very severe one too.\n\nContinued: After he had been disabled to the time of arrival, he did not consider himself relieved from the responsibilities although he did not take an active part in the command of the ship.\n\nJohn Smith, Chief Mate of the steamship Glenlyon, stated that he joined her in London on 9th September last. Witness held a master's certificate; he had commanded a vessel in Liverpool. He left her in order to go in this steamer. He recollected the arrival of the steamer at Singapore on the 23rd October about 4 or 5 pm. They took in 2800 tons of cargo in London altogether, discharging about 300 tons at Singapore. The discharged cargo was heavy, consisting chiefly of copper. She took in about 300 tons of light cargo, chiefly of rattan, at Singapore. The ship drew 21.3 and 18.10 when leaving Singapore. About 280 Chinese passengers were taken on board at Singapore. He believed that was the number, because the agents had told him so. Witness did not count them. They came on board on the evening of Saturday, throughout the night and on the morning of the 26th. They brought their luggage and provisions with them. Their luggage was stowed on the upper deck, secured. They lashed the boxes themselves partly, and the crew lashed them partly for them. There was no place below the upper deck appropriated either to the Chinese passengers or their luggage. Water only was issued to them; they cooked their own meals in those small clay stoves with charcoal brought by them. Fine weather was experienced from the 26th to the 30th. On that day the wind began to increase, and at 3 p.m. it was blowing a gale of wind. The barometer began to fall. Measures were then taken to secure the ship, and for the safety of the passengers and their luggage, some of which were stowed below in the forecastle, chart room and store room. As many as possible of the passengers were then sent down, others remaining on the top of their luggage. They were sent down to the water closets, bath rooms, mess-room, companion way, the captain's cabin, saloon and engine rooms. After this disposition, there were left about 40 on deck; these were on the midship house, around the funnel casings. It was about 54 feet long by about 20 feet broad. Some of the luggage was placed on the after part of the bridge. There were about five Chinese lying on a horse box. There were 80 cases of acids on deck, and they caught fire on Friday morning (31st) and were thrown overboard. The Captain was injured about 8 am on the 31st. They were just finishing heaving the acids overboard. Witness saw some of the crew pick the captain up from the quadrant stand near the rudder. He was sensible when witness saw him. He was carried then into the cabin on deck. He came out once when the engine room skylight was broken. The captain told witness that he was unable to move, and that witness must take charge of the ship. At 10 a.m. 31st, a seaman named George Key was washed overboard from the relieving tackles. About an hour, or two, a Chinaman jumped overboard from about the starboard main-rigging. Witness saw him jump. The gale was very violent with a very heavy sea on about this time. Some very heavy seas were coming on board about the bridge. Considering the class of vessel, the ship was a very good sea-boat; a ship of the old construction might have made better weather. Witness saw three more Chinamen lying dead; they were either killed or died of exhaustion. The bodies were lying before the after house, about the companion way, near the mizen. Witness knew of no other deaths either from personal knowledge or by report. Witness did not see any Chinese washed overboard. Witness wrote the ship's log.\n\n(Mr. May called witness' attention to the inconsistency of his evidence with an entry in the ship's log, the latter stating that some Chinese were washed overboard, three killed by their luggage drifting about, and several disabled.) Witness said by washing overboard, he meant the man who jumped overboard.\n\nCaptain Thomsett said the word \"some\" would not be expressed by one. He wished an explanation. He also drew witness' attention to his evidence given before him in connection with another inquiry, wherein he had stated that two men jumped overboard, whereas he only said one now. Witness said he only saw one, and he did not see any washed overboard.\n\nCapt. Thomsett said he would have a copy of the log made and annexed to the minutes. Witness had given six deaths before, and he had only accounted for five deaths now. Witness had made three different statements, one on the log, one in his evidence before, and one in his evidence now. Where did he get the information for the entry in the log?\n\nWitness said that when he wrote the ship's log, his head was in a jumble, and that was the only way he could account for the discrepancy. He must have put the entry in the way he did from what the English-speaking Chinese passenger informed him that he thought some Chinese passengers had been washed overboard.\n\nWitness was then asked to account for his statement made six days ago that two men jumped overboard. He replied that it was a mistake when he said that on the 6th instant. He should have stated that he only saw one jump overboard.\n\nContinued: After the gale, in consequence of the Chinese having lost their provisions, bread was served out to them as much as they required. No meat was given them. They did not want any meat; they only wanted bread. Witness ordered the Chinese luggage to be thrown overboard because it was washing about the deck endangering the lives of those who steered. He saw no struggling between the Chinese and crew for their luggage when the crew threw it overboard. Witness could not say whether money was paid by the Chinese for admission into the forecastle. He heard some did pay, how much he could not say. He ordered the Chinese into the forecastle.\n\nCapt. Thomsett could not understand why the men should pay for going down the forecastle, when they were ordered therein. Witness said he did not hear of the payment until after the storm. He did hear of the Chinamen paying money for admission into the engine-room. He could not say how he heard it. Witness did not see any seamen with dollars in their hands. Witness saw some dollars lying on deck, but did not see any one picking them up, not even Chinese. This was during the gale.\n\nWitness knew an able seaman named Skeat was very drunk during the gale. He was baling water out of the saloon; there was another named John McKenis, also a seaman. He was employed likewise in baling water out. Both were unable to work, but Skeat was off duty. Witness knew of no other man being drunk. Witness knew of no death amongst the Chinese after the gale. He heard report of robbery amongst the Chinese; the day after the gale they were fighting with their umbrellas; witness went to see what was the matter...\n\nPage 467",

He had no complaint of any robbery by the crew. Witness reported five deaths to the Captain. Witness after the gale went round with the Chinaman who could speak English to ascertain how many men had died during the gale, and could only find out the deaths he enumerated above. Before the storm, the cook asked witness if he could let his room to the Chinamen, and witness replied he could. The room was certified for 4 men. He did not know how much he let it for. It was quite customary for the crew to let their berths to deck passengers.\n\nThe Chief Engineer was next examined. He stated that when the bad weather came on, he took some children and women into the engine room, and towards the night, the 2nd and 3rd engineers brought about 24 Chinese passengers into the engine room. He received no order from anyone to take in the passengers to the engine room; he heard the captain say that they must be made as comfortable as possible. He and the boatswain helped 7 or 8 Chinese on to the bridge. The 2nd and 3rd engineers gave witness about $25 from time to time, which they had received from the passengers.

He stated that when the bad weather came on, he took some children and women into the engine room, and towards the night, the 2nd and 3rd engineers brought about 24 Chinese passengers into the engine room. He received no order from anyone to take in the passengers to the engine room; he heard the captain say that they must be made as comfortable as possible.

Their object in giving the money to witness was for security. The 2nd engineer gave him $18, and the 3rd $7. Witness did not know that the men who were assisted on to the bridge gave the boatswain any money. On the morning of the 1st, the captain told witness to wash the blood off the face of a man who was lying on the ropes near the after hatch; his face was battered and was covered with blood. That Chinaman died about an hour and a half to two hours afterwards. That was the only case of death he knew of. He heard of no other death, with the exception of the seaman who was washed overboard. There was no accommodation for more men than those that were actually in the engine room. Witness knew of no instance of drunkenness on board. When the money was given over to the witness, nothing was said about division amongst the engine room people, and when he said so in his evidence, it was only a matter of supposition.\n\nMr May said it was dangerous to give anything of supposition on oath.\n\nContinued - Witness saw one or two Chinamen hand money to the seamen; they did so freely.\n\nCaptain Thomsett referred to the evidence given by witness before Mr Mitchell and observed that by reading the portion about the men paying $1 to $2 for their accommodation, he understood that no man would be allowed in unless they paid for their accommodation, and the witness must have said that when such was recorded in evidence.\n\nWitness said he must have given that evidence. The 2nd defendant in the case before the Police Magistrate was therein termed a fireman. (That defendant was described in that case to have given $7 to the witness, and witness was asked to account for the discrepancy of stating now that he knew no fireman receiving any money from the men)\n\nWitness said it might be that he did receive some money from the 2nd defendant. The women and children paid no money; witness was quite sure of that.\n\nHeary Fisher, the boatswain of the Glenlyon, was next examined. He was on board as such during the voyage from Singapore to Hongkong. There were some Chinese passengers, but how many he could not say. Their boxes were secured to the hawsers; they did the lashing themselves; they would not allow any of the crew to touch their luggage. He heard during the storm the chief mate's order to shove as many of the Chinese as possible into the water closets, the chart room, and any other spare place. He assisted some up the bridge. He saw the boxes knocking about on deck and getting foul of the steering gear. Witness did not see anyone washed overboard; he heard one man jump overboard, and he saw his body floating aft. He saw a dead body aft.\n\nWitness had a cabin in the forecastle, but he did not let it to the Chinamen. He did not know that they had to pay for going down. Witness lived in the same room with the carpenter.\n\nThe cook told him that he had let his room. Only two men got drunk during the gale.\n\nWitness had not heard if any Chinese had been washed overboard. Witness heard that some Chinese had been washed overboard; who told him he could not say. Witness did not make enquiries after the typhoon to ascertain how many Chinese had been lost. When he helped to throw the luggage overboard, he heard a seaman observe that money was dropping out from a box.\n\nThe Court was then adjourned till tomorrow, the 13th instant, at 10 a.m.\n\n## MARINE COURT OF ENQUIRY\n\n### S.S. \"GLENLYON\"\n\nThe Marine Court of Enquiry was resumed today, 13th inst., at the Marine Magistracy to enquire into the circumstances attending the loss of life on board the British steamer Glenlyon during her voyage from Singapore to Hongkong. The Court was composed of the Hon. C. May (first Police Magistrate); H. G. Thomsett, Esq., R.N. (Harbour Master); Henry Lowcock, Esq., (unofficial Justice of the Peace); R. H. Cairns, Esq., (Government Marine Surveyor); and Seth Doane, Esq., (Master Mariner and Commander of the S.S. Mikado).\n\nThomas Barnes, quarter-master on board the Glenlyon, having been at sea for 18 years, stated that he joined the Glenlyon in London. He recollected the ship's arrival at Singapore on 23rd October. Witness's duty on board was to keep two watches and to steer. He did not know exactly how many Chinese passengers came on board. The ship sailed on the 26th and met with a gale on the 30th. Witness was on deck during the whole time of the gale, sometimes on the bridge steering, and sometimes aft. He recollected some Chinese on deck during the gale, about 30; some were on the house round the funnel, others were on the after hatch, before the mizen mast. He saw two men lying dead in the water ways; he was at the wheel and did not take much notice whether they had any disturbance or not. Witness heard of a man having jumped overboard, but he did not see any. He heard of reports of men having been washed overboard, but from whom he heard these reports he could not say. Witness was at the after wheel; the wheel was gone, and they had to steer with a crow-bar. He lived in the forecastle. He had never been in the China Sea with passengers. There were some Chinese in the forecastle; the chief mate ordered them down. Witness received $7 for letting his berth; all the berths were let. He let his just as the gale commenced. They asked to let the berths.\n\nWilliam Bergers collected the money for the letting; the sailors all agreed to let their berths. At first, some of the sailors were disposed not to let the Chinamen go into the forecastle at all, but it was afterwards agreed to allow them down there, and to let their berths to them. Witness was down in the forecastle when the agreement as to letting Chinese into the forecastle was made. They agreed that they might come down on payment of something; if a man hadn't paid, and presented himself at the hatchway for admission, witness personally would not have allowed him down. Witness did not know who else collected the lettings; it was agreed that whatever money thus obtained should be equally divided amongst the sailors. There were eleven others to share it amongst, not including the man who was washed overboard. Witness could not say why Bergers acted as collector of the money. Witness received $7 as his share; how much was actually collected he did not know; he had no reason to suspect the honesty of his shipmates. The forecastle was choke full with Chinese. (The captain said the forecastle was certified for 44 men). The place was so full that he could hardly get in himself. Witness did not get into the firemen's side at all.\n\nCaptain Thomsett, on looking over the official log, observed that the deaths were not recorded therein.\n\nThe Captain said he did not know of the deaths personally, and he was disabled during the gale.\n\nCaptain Thomsett said there was someone in charge of the ship, and section 4 of the rules required that any death on board should be recorded.\n\nContinued - Witness saw some of the Chinese fighting, but he did not pay much attention to them as he was steering.\n\nPage 468",

        "content_text": "# \n\nCapt. Templeton, through the Court, asked witness how he could presume to prevent the Chinese from going down the forecastle, in the face of the Chief Officer's orders.\n\nAfter a long pause, witness said that the forecastle was their place of living, and he considered it their property.\n\nCapt. Thomsett remarked that there was no question about that; but here was a case where a lot of Chinamen had to be taken care of in a gale, and it would be uncharitable not to allow them down the forecastle, which the sailors and firemen could not occupy themselves, having to go to their duty on deck.\n\nWitness repeated that the forecastle was their property and they had a right to it. He did not know that any Chinese got down without paying.\n\n## \n\nWilliam Sima, an able seaman on board the Glenlyon, stated that he joined her in London. He recollected the ship's arrival at Singapore, and her departure for Hong-kong. A lot of Chinese came on board with their baggage; they stowed it themselves principally, and on the hatch way. They lashed it themselves with ropes. Witness did not help securing it for them. He recollected meeting with a gale of wind on the 30th. Witness heard no orders to allow the Chinese into the chart room, engine room &c. The only orders he heard were by the mate that they should be taken off the deck. They went into the forecastle, chart room, captain's cabin; some were in the engine room, witness believed. While the men below, witness was busily engaged in throwing their luggage overboard, as it was washing about, endangering the crew's lives. The crew agreed amongst themselves, when the gale was blowing hard, to let their berths at $4 a head, and Bergers collected the money. There were about 100 Chinese down there altogether. Witness received $7 as his share of the money. There was only one hatchway down the forecastle. Witness believed that after collecting from about 20 men, the forecastle was left to the Chinese, as the crew had to go on deck.\n\nWitness did not go down to the forecastle during the gale. During the gale, witness saw two Chinese lying dead on deck abaft the engine-room skylight. The bodies were thrown overboard. One of the crew named George Key was washed overboard; he saw a Chinaman in the water, whether he jumped overboard or was washed overboard he could not say. Witness knew of no other death. Witness did not hear of any rumours of men having been washed overboard. When witness was below the forecastle, about 20 Chinese came down, and Bergers collected money from them; how much witness did not know. While witness was below, he saw several come down who did not pay - could not get it from them. When witness left to go on deck, there were about 25 Chinese below. Eleven men were to share the proceeds of the lettings, and witness received $7. He saw those 25 men in the forecastle bring their luggage into the forecastle. Witness went back into the forecastle on Saturday morning, the Chinese having all left the forecastle. Witness considered he had a right to let his bunk because he had his bed there and it might be spoiled. There were 15 bunks in this part of the forecastle. His bed was spoiled. There were two men in his bunk. The bunks were only let during the gale and not for the voyage. When witness went down on Saturday, he saw quite 60 Chinese on his side of the forecastle; they were jammed in wherever they could get.\n\n## \n\nBu Aon, aged 38 years, and a native of Hainan, stated that he embarked from Singapore. He went there from Malacca, where he had been for more than ten years. He and nineteen others went from Malacca to Singapore to find a steamer to Hongkong. He paid his passage money to the master of a Hong. He and the 19 others went on board the steamer on the 28th Oct. The typhoon came on the 29th. (Capt. Thomsett observed that with the witness, the typhoon might have come on on the 29th, but with the sailors, it might not be on till the 30th). He had his luggage with him. He was on deck and his luggage consisted of a pillow box, which contained $47.45. When the typhoon was blowing, he lay on his face on deck. The 19 men who came with him to Hongkong all landed in Hongkong. He saw four or five Chinese washed overboard during the gale. He was sea-sick. He did not know any of those whom he saw washed overboard. One of those washed overboard was a native of Sunning, and one of Fokien, and the two others were Chiuchew men. Witness saw one man jump overboard after the ship had dropped anchor in harbour. He did not see any one jump overboard during the gale. Those he saw washed overboard were quite dead when they were washed overboard. Witness here said that the four men were not dead when they were washed overboard, but that they died after being washed overboard. (This discrepancy was ascribed to the witness not understanding the first question properly). Witness did not go down; he tried to, but was kicked by some of the crew. He tried to get into the engine room. He did not see or know that any Chinese were in the engine room. He saw no dead bodies on deck. He did not bring his pillow box ashore, because one of the firemen had taken it from him, on the 29th, while he was resting his face and head on it. The fireman took it below. He complained to the captain of his loss, but whether the captain understood him or not, he could not say. The captain was standing on deck aft at the time. He reported this to the captain on the 4th in Hongkong.\n\nCaptain Thomsett thought it impossible for a man so sea-sick as the witness was to have distinguished the four men washed overboard in the way he did. He might have seen four men washed overboard, but he could not particularise them.\n\nMr May imagined that it was possible for the witness to particularise them, as he had been speaking to them before they were washed overboard.\n\nWitness was then asked when he had spoken to the men prior to their being washed overboard, and he replied that he had spoken to them off and on since the departure from Singapore until the typhoon came on. All the men remained on deck, none were taken down. There were about five women and two children among the passengers, and they remained on deck. Among the four washed overboard, one was a child. The gale lasted three days, and during all this while, the whole of the passengers remained on deck. The man who jumped overboard while in the harbour was the man who stabbed another and then jumped overboard.\n\nThe Captain believed that the matter had been brought to the notice of the Police. He believed the Chinaman who jumped overboard had swum ashore, as the ship was close to the wharf.\n\n## \n\nWm. Bergers, quarter-master on board the Glenlyon, stated that he had been at sea 11 years; he was on board the Glenlyon when she left Singapore. A gale of wind came on on the 30th; it commenced that day. There was a number of Chinese passengers on deck. The forecastle was filled with Chinamen; they came down on the afternoon of the 30th. When he was in the forecastle, there were about 35 of them there; how many went down afterwards he could not say. He understood that the captain had given the men permission to allow the Chinese down if the crew liked. The captain and mate did not tell him of this personally, but he heard it from the men. The crew met at the forecastle in the afternoon, and it was agreed to allow the Chinese to occupy their berths, if they would give $4 or $5 a head. Witness collected some of the money; he collected for the forecastle. A quarter-master named Frost, witness believed, accepted money from the Chinese for occupation of the chart room. The Chinese were down first, and witness went round to collect the money; some paying $2, some $5, and one paid $10 for allowing his sick boy and himself to go down; a great many paid nothing. Witness was not on deck during the 31st, having been injured at 4 a.m. He was in the mate's cabin; the mate picked him up and put him there. Witness did not return to ...\n\nPage 469",

        "content_text": "# \n\nthe forecastle until the gale was over and the forecastle cleared. Witness knew nothing more of the gale after 2 am, on the 31st. He was thrown 80 yards by a heavy sea. His legs were injured and his head cut.\n\nTam Kuey, a Chinese passenger on board the Glenlyon, stated that he came from Malacca, where he had been for 19 years. Eleven others came with him. He had two boxes with him. He fastened them to the ring bolts on deck. The gale commenced on the 30th. He took refuge on the top of an iron house, from thence he looked after his boxes. He went down to the two seamen who were going forward, one having an axe and the other having his money, and some of the money got scattered about. The man with a large package pushed him down and got away, and witness could not save any of his money. He could recognise only one man and not the other. He heard that 40 men had been washed overboard; with his own eyes he saw only 10 washed overboard; one of his 11 friends died of exhaustion on arrival at Hongkong. This was when the anchor was first cast. He took the body ashore to be buried. On the 3rd, when off Green Island, he heard that a man jumped overboard. The 10 men were washed overboard because they could not hold fast. He was not allowed below. None of the 10 men were dead before being washed overboard. He tried to get below but was prevented. He did not see any Chinese going below. There were some women and children on board. After the gale was over, he asked these women where they had been, and they replied that they paid something for getting into some place. After the gale was over he saw one dead body thrown overboard. Witness had $1,000 of his own and about $200 of others' money. Witness was accustomed to go to sea, and he did not feel sea-sick this time. Witness had been trading in boats on the coast of Singapore for about ten years. When he was struggling with the seamen for his dollars, a sea came over, washing over them. He was not washed overboard because he held on to some iron. He believed there were 40 men washed overboard because it was rumoured so.\n\nCaptain Thomsett said if the rumour said 100, would he say 100?\n\nWitness replied that the people talked amongst themselves and said there were 40 washed overboard. A Fokien man went to the agents and obtained 280 passage tickets for all the men. He was not sure that the whole 280 tickets obtained by this Fokien man with a view to profit had been disposed of. He did not know how many landed at Hongkong. None of his friends went below during the gale.\n\nEdmund Frost, able seaman on board the Glenlyon, stated that he had been at sea for about 14 years. He was on board the Glenlyon on the 30th Oct. He was on deck during the whole of the gale, except an hour or so. He knew a good many Chinese were in the chart room.\n\nHe received $9 from the men in the chart room. He got it from them because he handed in their luggage which was lying outside the door. The money was handed to him, in fact he had no time to receive much more. Witness handed the money to be divided amongst the quarter masters. Witness had $7 for his share of letting the forecastle. He could only see two Chinese lay dead on deck; these were the deaths he knew of. He heard an outcry of some men having been overboard; this was from the engine room. He believed these were men round the engine room door, because the door was broken. He thought the two men whose bodies he saw on deck died from their luggage knocking against them; one was black and blue all over his body, and one was covered with blood. He heard an order passed along the deck to put the Chinamen where they would be in safety, and to clear the deck, or something to that effect. He saw no Chinaman jump overboard until they came into harbour.\n\nWong Sai Me stated that he was a passenger on board the Glenlyon. He had been in Singapore selling old clothes. The typhoon came on on the 30th; during the gale, at the height of it, he went on to the place around the funnel. His boxes were left on deck tied to some iron. Witness remained on the deck-house till the vessel's arrival in Hongkong. He saw three or four washed overboard. He saw one man jump overboard; he did not see any one killed during the gale. He did not see any dead bodies after the gale. Those washed overboard were alive at the time. On the morning of the 31st when he came down from the deck house, he missed his box. About 3 or 4 in the morning, two seamen came and wanted to remove his box; he called out to them not to remove it, as it belonged to him. They stopped and went away. In the morning he saw seaman walking aft with two packages which he recognised as containing money, and belonging to him. The red bag contained $650, and the white bag $600. He did not go below, for the sailors would not allow him. At the beginning of the gale some of the passengers couldn't hold on, and hired the room of the sailors.\n\nHe could not say whether there was yet room in the sailor's room to hold more, because he was not allowed to go in, and he could not see. The women hired some room from the sailors, he heard this. He heard a man speaking English bargaining the place for them, but he did not see any money paid. He saw the seamen take the women's boxes inside, and he concluded that they had paid money. A friend of his, who died before reaching Green Island, paid some money, and witness saw it.\n\nThe women got in about 11 am on the 30th, just before the gale commenced, but his friend paid after the women. During the gale they could get no water. He did not see any dead bodies on deck; they might have been thrown overboard before. $600 belonged to him and $650 belonged to friends of his, who entrusted it to him to deliver to their relations. The body of the man who died on the 4th after arrival was buried in Hongkong. All his party lost their money.\n\nThe Court was then adjourned till tomorrow the 14th, at 10 a.m.\n\n## MARINE COURT OF ENQUIRY.\n\n### S.S. \"GLENLYON\"\n\nThe Marine Court of Enquiry was resumed to-day, 14th inst., at the Marine Magistracy to enquire into the circumstances attending the loss of life on board the British steamer Glenlyon during her voyage from Singapore to Hongkong. The Court was composed of the Hon. C. May (first Police Magistrate); H. G. Thomsett, Esq., R. N. (Harbour Master); Henry Lowcock, Esq., (unofficial Justice of the Peace); R. H. Cairns, Esq., (Government Marine Surveyor); and Seth Doane, Esq., (Master Mariner and Commander of the S.S. Mikado).\n\nSum Aloi, a Hakka, stated that he embarked on board the steamer at Singapore. He had been living in Batavia for seven years. He had a box with him when he went on board, which he placed on some iron structure near the place where the stokehold was. Many men came with him from Batavia, but he knew none of them. On the 29th October, it came on to blow, and he could not stand. He went down into the stokehold taking his box with him, and placing it outside the door. When he first went down, he did not pay anything, but about 6 p.m. two men in the engine room took hold of him, and asked him for one dollar; witness did not pay, and they searched his purse, taking from him 18 coins similar to the one he now produced (24 guilder pieces). The coin produced was kept in his box. The men did not return him any of the coins. He remained below during the gale. Witness did not see any body washed overboard, as he was below all the while. He lost nothing from his box, which contained $47.45 and clothing.\n\nMr Lister said he had ascertained that of the 280 tickets, 25 had not been accounted for.\n\nCaptain Thomsett said that he could understand this; he learnt that some of the men who had taken passage in the Glenlyon would not go in her on account of her being so deeply laden, but came in the **B**indostan.\n\nChan Sun, a boatbuilder at Batavia, stated that he took passage in the Glenlyon from Singapore to Hongkong. He had his... \n\nPage 470",

SMITH**, Acting Colonial Secretary.\n\n1-We find that the British Steamer **Glenlyon**, Official Number `68,010`; 1,373 registered tons; **JOHN TEMPLETON**, No. of whose Certificate of Competency is `20,767`, Master, left Singapore with from 2,500 to 3,000 tons of cargo, and about 280 Chinese Passengers, bound to Hongkong.\n\n2.--We find that there were no spaces below appropriated to the Passengers or their baggage.\n\n3.-We find that the **Glenlyon** was licensed at Singapore to carry three hundred Passengers, the accommodation for whom, according to the License, was the Upper Deck.\n\n-We find that the **Glenlyon** met with a very violent storm on the 30th ultimo, at about noon, in Latitude 15.46 North, and Longitude 112.36 East. The storm lasted until 6 A.M. of the 1st instant. During this interval of time the ship was, from being very deeply laden, and from her peculiar construction-one of great length and disproportionate breadth-in great peril of foundering.\n\n5.-We find that during the storm three Chinese met their death from exhaustion or from injuries received from the washing about of the baggage; one Chinese jumped overboard; and one Seaman, **GEORGE KAY**, was washed overboard when at his duty at the relieving tackles.\n\nIt is in evidence that one Chinese, after the vessel's arrival at this Port, stabbed another Passenger and then made his escape by jumping overboard.\n\nIn the Chinese evidence it is stated that some of the Passengers were washed overboard, but their number is not known. This evidence is, however, of so uncertain a nature, that no reliable conclusion could be come to on this point.\n\n6.-We find that the Master and Chief Officer, under the circumstances, did all they could to secure the safety of their Passengers by ordering them to be provided for in the Saloon, Ship's Forecastle, Chart Room, Engine Room, and similar places; and that the majority of the Passengers were provided for in this way.\n\n7.-We find that the Crew received compensation from some of the Chinese for the accommodation their Forecastle offered, but it does not appear that this had any influence on the alleged Loss of Life, as many went into this space without paying anything.\n\n8.-We find that the Chief Engineer most improperly permitted the Engineers and Firemen to receive compensation for sheltering Passengers in the Engine Room.\n\nThe Court regret having been unable to ascertain with more exactness than they have, the number of Chinese that were actually lost on the voyage. Had the Passengers been counted on going on board at Singapore, the Court's finding on this head would have been more satisfactory.\n\nThe License issued at Singapore is attached to the Minutes. It is unsigned and has an erasure changing Two hundred into Three hundred Passengers as licensed to proceed. The Master in his evidence states that the License is in the same condition as when he received it.\n\nThe Court thinks it their duty to state that it is to be regretted that any deeply laden ships proceeding on similar voyages should be allowed to carry unsheltered or deck passengers.\n\nGiven under our Hands at Hongkong, this Fourteenth day of November, 1873.\n\n**Confirmed,**\n\n**C. May**, First Police Magistrate.\n\n| Name | Position |\n| --- | --- |\n| H. G. THOMSETT | Nay-Lieutenant, R.N., Harbour Master, &c. |\n| H. Lowcock | Un-Official Justice of the Peace |\n| R. H.

The ship Trevelyan has arrived at Port Chalmers, bringing intelligence of a mutiny on board the barque Satsuma, of Sunderland, which was bound to the Cape of Good Hope. The master communicated the following statement to the captain of the Trevelyan :--\n\n\"On January 29th, 1874, latitude 31' south, longitude 24' west. I, William Leslie, master of the barque Satsuma, of Sunderland, on a passage from Cardiff to Table Bay, with a full cargo of coal, was on the morning of the above-mentioned day, about 5 o'clock, surprised in my bed while asleep by three men seizing me, one of them, the instant I raised my head, put a rope with a slip-knot over it, trying to strangle me; another held a hatchet above me; the third had a revolver pointed at me—all of them looking at me with murder in their eyes. I, with the strength which despair alone gives, sprang from my bed, closed with them, and rushed through them on my way to the fore-cabin where the mate was asleep, dragging the man after me who had the rope round my neck, but did not reach him before my skull was laid open by one or more blows from the hatchet, the blood streaming down my face and blinding me; my head reeled, and I felt I should sink on the deck. I reached the mate's berth, who in an instant sprang from his bed, and saved me from being killed. Gathering all my strength I rushed from the mate's cabin and up the companion, and astonishingly dragged the man (who still kept hold of me) with the rope round my neck on to the poop. When I got there I could get no assistance, but shortly afterwards was joined by the mate, who was soon overpowered by one of the mutineers, who was a very powerful man. At this time I managed to sever the rope; but from being half strangled, loss of blood, and suffering from the effects of the blows from the hatchet, I hardly knew what occurred. All that I can remember there seemed to be revolvers in all directions, for the shots were whizzing round us, and one of them aimed a blow at my head with a handspike, which partly hit me, knocking me down the companion. After that I did not know what took place for some time, thinking all on my side were shot or drowned. Shortly after, the mate came to me—who had got clear of them by some means. I was very weak, and sat down in the after-cabin, and was guarded from the skylight by one of the mutineers, who had a revolver in his hand. The mate was ordered from me—they at this time having full charge of the ship. The cook—one of them—was sent down to the cabin, and handed up six rifles, under cover of their revolvers. They then looked down the skylight, and asked me what boat they should take. After me telling them, they coolly asked if I was much hurt. On my saying that I was, they said they were sorry for it, but if I had kept quiet I should have been all right. They then took the second boat in size, with mast, sail, and six oars, one bag of bread, one breaker of water, wine, whisky, rum, one cheese, one ham, one log line, a bag of nails, compass, a chart from the mate, pipes, tobacco, matches, some small cordage; also, clothes belonging to other members of the crew. They then called out for the man Dunn, as they wanted to hang him before leaving. When I heard what was wanted I begged the ringleader (the steward) to spare his life. At this time one of them was in the hold calling for him to come out, and fired his revolver in the dark several times. He was stowed away under some rope, so could not be found. They then took the rammer belonging to the large gun, and spiked the gun. They took a quantity of black paint to disguise the boat, she being painted white and blue. They also cut several of the running ropes, taking saw, chisel, and life-hooks, the ringleader sitting on and looking down the skylight, with a revolver in his hand, giving his orders in the coolest manner possible. Shortly after the six left the ship, it being nearly calm, standing to the west, distance from the nearest land 900 miles.\"\n\nThe following is the second mate's statement: At 5 a.m. I was in charge of the deck; had just finished my coffee. The steward came behind me, seizing me by the shoulders, two others coming to help him. They then threw me on deck, one of them getting on the top of me, another holding a pistol to my forehead, and said if I spoke he would blow my brains out, the other two lashing my hands and legs. I asked them what they were going to do. They replied, if I kept quiet, they would not hurt me, if not they would throw me overboard. They then slung me with a rope and lowered me down the after hold, and then put the hatch on. I shortly heard the captain cry for help, and heard a rushing going on aft. Soon after one of them looked down the hatch to see if I was still lying there. I asked him where the captain was. He told me that he was dead.\n\nAfter the boat had left the ship, the mate came and set me free.\n\nJohn Dunn, an able-bodied seaman reported: \"At 5 a.m. was asleep on deck, but awoke by Beltram (one of the mutineers), and told to go into the forecastle. I went to the door, but found it was fast; was told that something was going on, and if I interfered it would be worse for me. Shortly after seeing a disturbance on the quarterdeck, and knowing they had revolvers, I hid myself in the hold. After being there some time I heard voices telling me to come out, but did not move. They fired several times, but did not hit me.\"\n\nIn connection with the above report, the schooner `Flora`, which arrived at Sydney on Thursday, the 9th instant, from London, furnishes the following:-On the 29th January, in latitude 31 S. longitude, 22-17 W., the `Flora` was boarded by a boat and crew from the barque `Satsuma`, of Sunderland, bound to Cape Town from Cardiff. The chief officer, who was in charge of the boat, stated that that morning five of the crew, armed with revolvers, had taken forcible possession of a boat, and having seized on provisions and other goods had left the ship, leaving only five of a crew all told on board the barque, and assistance in the shape of an extra hand or two was requested to work the barque into port, but Captain Wright was unable to comply. The wind was fair for the Cape, and the weather fine, at the time.\n\nCaptain Graham, of the `Cingalese`, which arrived at Melbourne on April 8th from Liverpool gives the following account of five men having been found at sea in an open boat, and picked up by the `Kate Carnie`. The `Cingalese`, on the 1st February, in 33-51 S., and 21-51 W., sighted the barque `Kate Carnie`, bound to Hong Kong, and on coming within hailing distance, Captain Wilson, of the `Kate Carnie`, asked Captain Graham if he would relieve him of three out of five men that he had shortly before picked up, as he had not sufficient water on board to last him the voyage if obliged to keep the whole of the men in his vessel. This was acceded to. Captain Wilson, of the `Kate Carnie`, then sent his chief officer on board the `Cingalese`, with the following men:--William Weston, of Manchester, aged 30; John Johnston, of Dungarvan, aged 21; Richard Newton, of Preston, aged 19. They were engaged as seamen on board the ship `Laura`, under the Costa Rica flag, bound from Valparaiso to Monte Video; when out 535 days; the crew had to abandon the `Laura`, as she was in a sinking state, and they took to the boats to save their lives. Those rescued by the `Kate Carnie` were in their boat seven or eight days before they were picked up. The other boats, two in number, were not seen by those saved by the `Kate Carnie` beyond the second night after the men left the `Laura`. An investigation will be held into the matter, when fuller particulars will probably be elicited.\n\nBy telegram from Melbourne we learn that three of the `Satsuma` mutineers were brought before the Court on the 14th. They confessed their guilt and said that the men made the mate drunk and tied him down, and then threw all the rifles and firearms overboard. Five only of the men went into the boat.\n\n## \n14.

Il est un point important cependant, sur lequel nous devons encore nous arrêter : c'est la convention spéciale qui réglera les rapports commerciaux.\n\nVotre commission eût vivement désiré que le traité de commerce lui eût été soumis en même temps que le traité qui règle les rapports politiques entre l'Annam et la France; malheureusement, la nécessité d'envoyer des pouvoirs au nouveau gouverneur de la Cochinchine a retardé l'arrivée en France de cette convention, qui ne pourra vous être présentée qu'après la prorogation; mais dès aujourd'hui M. le ministre de la marine a bien voulu nous communiquer la teneur de l'article 1er, qui est ainsi conçu :\n\nOn a beaucoup parlé du climat insalubre de la Cochinchine; qu'il nous soit permis de mettre un peu en garde contre les exagérations qui pourraient se produire à ce sujet. Et tout d'abord, ne sait-on pas que toute colonie nouvelle doit forcément payer un large tribut? Demandez à l'Angleterre ce que lui a coûté Calcutta; demandez à la Hollande ce que lui a coûté Batavia; demandez, si vous le voulez, à l'Algérie ce que lui a coûté la Mitidja; mais quand donc la crainte des maladies a-t-elle fait reculer les vaillants pionniers de la civilisation? D'ailleurs, la période la plus mauvaise est sans doute passée pour nous; notre établissement en Cochinchine date déjà de douze années, et à mesure que des casernes se sont élevées pour nos soldats, à mesure que des maisons confortables ont été construites par nos colons, l'assainissement s'est fait et il ne peut à coup sûr que progresser chaque jour.\n\n**Art. 1.** Conformément aux stipulations de l'article 11 du 15 mars, le roi d'Annam ouvre au commerce étranger, sans distinction de pavillon ou de nationalité, ses ports de Thi-Naï dans la province de Binh-Dinh, de Ninh-Hai dans la province de Hai-Duong, la ville de Hanoi et le fleuve de Nhi-Hà, depuis la mer jusqu'à la frontière chinoise.\n\nAjoutons enfin, que l'un des avantages du traité sera précisément de nous donner la possibilité de créer au Tonkin un établissement sanitaire où nos malades de Cochinchine, qui ne sont la plupart du temps qu'anémiés, viendront reprendre des forces sous une latitude plus élevée.\n\nLe second point important du traité est celui qui donne à la religion chrétienne des garanties sérieuses pour son libre exercice et pour son développement.\n\nSur cette terre arrosée, hier encore, du sang de tant de martyrs, où l'on compte aujourd'hui huit évêques, environ quatre cents missionnaires et prêtres et plus de cinq cent mille chrétiens, il sera enfin permis à nos coreligionnaires de professer leur foi sans avoir à redouter les plus épouvantables supplices. En retour, la sagesse de nos évêques et de nos missionnaires nous est un sûr garant qu'ils prendront soin de veiller à ce que les populations chrétiennes se montrent les plus soumises et les plus respectueuses de l'autorité du souverain de l'Annam.\n\nUn troisième point du traité est celui qui ouvre au commerce de toutes les nations un port dans la Cochinchine occidentale, un port dans le Tonkin, et qui assure le libre transit par le fleuve du Nhi-Hà (Shaungkoï), depuis la mer jusqu'au Yunnan.\n\nLa France, après avoir, de concert avec l'Angleterre, ouvert de nouveaux ports de la Chine au commerce européen, vient donc de poursuivre son œuvre de civilisation et de progrès, en obtenant l'ouverture des ports de l'Annam. Ce royaume sera du reste le premier à retirer des fruits de sa concession; car partout où le commerce européen pénètre, il apporte avec lui la tranquillité et le respect des propriétés comme celui des transactions. Le sud du Tonkin verra bientôt disparaître ces bandes d'insurgés qui y entretenaient un état de désordre permanent.\n\nNos navires protecteurs en auront bientôt fini avec cette flotte de pirates qui, depuis un temps immémorial, exerce des ravages sur les côtes, empêchant toute sortie de navires, tout commerce et jusqu'à la pêche dont les populations du littoral vivent en grande partie; débarquant des hordes de bandits qui pénètrent dans l'intérieur et se livrent à des pillages de toute espèce, enlevant les hommes pour les livrer aux racoleurs de coolies, vendant les femmes pour remplir les maisons de débauche de la Chine.\n\nLà où régnait la plus odieuse barbarie va régner désormais, sous l'abri de notre pavillon, l'activité commerciale, l'ordre et la prospérité. Déjà, sous la protection d'un simple poste que nous avons conservé à Haï-phuong, à l'embouchure du fleuve du Tonkin, un immense marché se tient tous les cinq jours, où les populations apportent des denrées et des objets d'échange de toute sorte.\n\nEnfin, messieurs, les avantages du traité qui vous est proposé nous assurent cet avantage d'avoir à l'avenir auprès du roi Tu-Duc un chargé d'affaires dont l'action conciliatrice fera certainement disparaître les malentendus ou les dissentiments qui pourraient s'élever entre nos nationaux ou nos coreligionnaires et les agents du gouvernement annamite.\n\nQuant à l'Espagne, qui, ayant une injure à venger, avait été notre alliée en Cochinchine, \n\n## 20 Août 1874\n\n... ne rien changer à ses relations diplomatiques actuelles.\n\nJOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\nqu'à que toute crainte à ce sujet soit dissipée par la loyale exécution du traité.\n\n295\n\n## 6005\n\nLe rang de cet envoyé, les honneurs et prérogatives auxquels il aura droit, seront ultérieurement réglés d'un commun accord et sur le pied d'une parfaite réciprocité entre les hautes parties contractantes.\n\nCet engagement politique ne s'étend pas aux traités de commerce. Mais, dans aucun cas, le gouvernement de Sa Majesté le roi de l'Annam ne pourra faire avec une nation, quelle qu'elle soit, de traité de commerce en désaccord avec celui conclu entre la France et le royaume d'Annam, et sans en avoir préalablement informé le Gouvernement français.\n\n**Art. 4.** Son Excellence le Président de la République française s'engage à faire détruire les registres et le dénombrement des chrétiens faits depuis...\n\nDo\n- cent canons de sept à seize centimètres de diamètre approvisionnés à deux cents coups par pièce;\n- mille cartouches.\n- De mille fusils à tabatière et de cinq...\n\nCes bâtiments et armes seront rendus en Cochinchine et livrés dans le délai maximum d'un an, à partir de la date de l'échange des ratifications.\n\n1° De cinq bâtiments à vapeur d'une force de cinq cents chevaux, et parait équipés, conformément aux prescriptions d'armement;\n \n... les articles du Thap Dieu dans lesquels des termes injurieux pour la religion sont employés.\n\nLes évêques et missionnaires pourront librement entrer dans le royaume et circuler dans leurs diocèses avec un passeport du gouverneur de la Cochinchine visé par le ministre des rites. Ils pourront en tous lieux prêcher la doctrine catholique. Ils ne seront soumis à aucune surveillance particulière, et les villages ne seront plus tenus de déclarer aux mandarins ni leur arrivée, ni leur présence, ni leur départ.\n\nSon Excellence le Président de la République française promet en outre de mettre à la disposition du roi des instructeurs militaires et des officiers de marine en nombre suffisant pour reconstituer l'armée et sa flotte; des ingénieurs et d'ateliers capables de diriger les travaux du génie; des hommes experts en matière de finances pour organiser le service des impôts et des douanes dans le royaume; des professeurs pour fonder un collège à Hué.\n\nLes prêtres annamites exerceront librement, comme les missionnaires, leur ministère. Si par leur faute une punition est répréhensible et si, aux termes de la loi, cette punition est passible du bâton ou du rotin, cette peine sera généralement commuée en une punition équivalente.\n\nIl sera assigné un lot de terrain de cent mètres d'étendue aux tombes de la famille Pham; un lot d'égale étendue à celles de la famille Hô.\n\nLes autres articles règlent les questions de douane, les droits de phare et d'ancrage, les frais de pilotage, etc.\n\nEn résumé, les stipulations du traité actuel auront pour effet d'établir entre les deux peuples un régime stable, sous lequel les liens d'amitié entre la France et l'Annam iront certainement en se resserrant chaque jour; aussi votre commission, après avoir appelé dans son sein M. le ministre de la marine et M. l'amiral Dupré, et avoir obtenu de l'honorable amiral de Montaignac et de l'énergique gouverneur de la Cochinchine les explications les plus complètes et les plus satisfaisantes, est-elle unanime à vous proposer l'adoption d'un traité également avantageux aux deux parties contractantes, et qui ajoute une nouvelle page au livre des conquêtes de la civilisation.\n\n## PROJET DE LOI\n\n**Article unique.** - Le Président de la République française est autorisé à ratifier et, s'il y a lieu, à faire exécuter le traité conclu à Saïgon, le 15 mars 1874, entre la France et le royaume d'Annam.\n\nUne copie authentique de ce traité sera annexée à la présente loi.\n\n## TRAITÉ\n\nS.

        "content_text": "346 \n\n4. The search of native vessels leaving or approaching this Port has not been relaxed by the Chinese Cruisers, although the complaints, at one time so frequent, have not of late been heard. This may be accounted for by the traders, seeing they have to give way to the squeezes, quietly submitting themselves to what they cannot avoid. \n\n17. Agents from Queensland and other British Colonies have shown a desire to procure Chinese labourers under contract, but the difficulties attending such a system are so great that but little engagement can be held out to persons requiring this class of labour. Firstly comes the difficulty of passing the Customs' Cruisers and getting but small satisfaction from the Chinese Authorities when complaining of bona fide volunteers. Secondly, having obtained them, the difficulty of keeping them is great, as Chinese will often say they do not wish to emigrate. Thirdly, it has often happened that Emigrants, whether they have any material effect on them or not, after receiving an advance of wages (even if they get to sign a contract without this stipulation) they have gambled away their money, and then declined to proceed. Some Chinese professed gamblers have been known to embark, and, during the few days they have been on board waiting to sail, have won the money of the really intending emigrants, and have then repaid their own advances out of their winnings and gone on shore.\n\nThe trade and consequent prosperity of the Colony is a matter of dispute, but certain it is that, on taking the year 1867 as a starting point, it being the year in which this Government took cognisance of arrivals and departures of Junks, the rise of that trade was steady until it reached its culminating point in May 1872, and it has since then as steadily gone downwards. \n\nA glimpse at the accompanying diagram will render this clearer than any wordy description. This is due to the introduction of steam-vessels into that trade. The old and nearly worn out sailing vessels at one time employed in the Siamese trade are fast disappearing. \n\nThere has also been an increase in the number and tonnage of vessels arriving from India and Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, as also a slight rise in the tonnage from the Philippine Islands. The principal decrease is in the number and tonnage of vessels from Great Britain, Coast of China and Formosa, Cochin China and Japan.\n\n5. There has been an increase in the trade between this Port and Siam, probably in a measure due to the introduction of steam-vessels into that trade.\n\n6. Of the tonnage of the different classes of vessels arriving at this Port, 38 per cent are steamers, 10 per cent are foreign sailing vessels, and 52 per cent are Junks. Of the steam-ships, 73.5 per cent were British, 11.8 per cent French, 5.8 per cent American, 4.6 per cent German; the remainder being made up of Spanish, Chinese and steamers of other nations. Of sailing vessels, exclusive of Junks, 49 per cent of tons, or nearly half, are British, and 51 per cent are foreign.\n\n7. In my last Report, I alluded to the probability of the lights to mark Cape d'Aguilar, Green Island, and Cape Collinson being in their places before the close of 1874. The late arrival of the materials from England has delayed this, but, the lanterns for Cape d'Aguilar and Green Island having arrived, there is every likelihood that the light on Cape d'Aguilar will be exhibited on the 15th April, and that on Green Island on the 1st May next. The light for Cape Collinson has not yet arrived.\n\n8. The year 1874 has been a most disastrous one to shipping in all parts of the world, and in the neighbourhood, we have the following casualties to record:\n\n9. A Typhoon of unusual violence visited this place on the morning of the 23rd September, causing a destruction of ships and loss of life fortunately not of frequent occurrence in this Colony.\n\n10. The total destruction of and loss of many lives on board the British steamer Mongol in the neighbourhood of the Port on the 12th December.\n\n11. The total loss by fire of the United States' Mail Steamer Japan on the 17th December, and loss of life on board of that ship, a few miles from here. These are most distressing occurrences recorded in one year.\n\n12. I reported fully on the Typhoon in October last, but attach that document to this Report as it may perhaps be thought a fitting supplement to the usual Returns published in the Colony.\n\n13. A Marine Court enquired into the circumstances attending the loss of the Mongol, which vessel went down a few minutes after she struck on a well-known rock, marked on the Admiralty Chart, near the South Nine Pin Island. The Master and Chief Officer being drowned, the Court thought it advisable not to offer any opinion as to the faultiness or otherwise of those answerable for the calamity. The evidence appeared in the public press, and a copy was, in the usual way, forwarded to the Board of Trade.\n\n14. An enquiry into the matter of the loss by fire of the Japan was held at the United States Consulate, resulting in the full acquittal of the Master, and censuring the Chief Engineer. A few remarks on this loss will be found in the report on Emigration for the year.\n\n## EMIGRATION\n\n15. The gross total number of Emigrants leaving here in 1874 is 3,098 more than were carried in the preceding year. Of males, there were 8,497 more, but there has happily been a decrease in the children and female adults, the reasons for which will appear further on. The increase has been to the Australian Colonies, Bangkok, and the Straits Settlements. The last-named Colony has taken a large number of men for the purpose of working the tin mines in that Settlement.\n\n16. No reports of accidents to Emigrant Ships leaving this Port have been made for a long period. All the vessels appear to have made fair average passages and with few deaths or much disease. The latter is due to the selection of good Chinese Surgeons for charge of the ships that have no European trained Medical men on board.\n\n17. ... (already included in section 4)\n\n18. These difficulties, together with the large expense which attends the procuring of contract labour, and the probability of the Emigrants deserting on their arrival at their destination, have been such that the Agents have, for the present, withdrawn from the attempt to obtain the class of labour of which the Australian Colonies seem so much in need.\n\n19. The Emigration of females is on the decrease. 1,104 women and girls have emigrated during the year as against 1,542 that left here in 1873. I fear there can be little doubt but that the proportion of these women and girls were purchased on the mainland and exported for purposes of prostitution. These unfortunate women are instructed as to the answers they are to give when being questioned as to their willingness to emigrate, but either from fear of their purchasers, or a callousness as to what their future may be, it is most difficult to obtain the truth from them. It has been for a long time the desire of this Government to endeavour to put a stop to this practice, but the Chinese notions of morality, and the estimation in which the women are held, are so low that they see no harm in this disgraceful traffic.\n\n20. In endeavouring to check this practice, I have received much valuable assistance from the Registrar General, whose knowledge of the Chinese language and the character of the people enables him to detect, readily, the cases of females who are purchased for immoral purposes, but, if the intending Emigrant expresses her desire to proceed, and they too frequently feel themselves in honour bound to their purchasers, the Government is powerless to stop them. But very few instances have occurred of females confessing that they had been improperly procured and were unwilling to go. In such cases, the persons concerned have at once been handed over to the Police Court for punishment. The examination of the female Emigrants is of so searching a nature that the people concerned in purchasing the women have been discouraged in their traffic, hence the decrease of female Emigration alluded to in a previous paragraph.\n\n21. The Chinese Committee of the Chinese Hospital take great interest in this matter, and have joined in a petition to the Government praying that some more effective means might be devised for staying the Emigration of purchased females. A Commission investigated the matter; some of the Members of the Chinese Committee were invited to be present at the examination of the intending female Emigrants at this Office, and candidly admitted that nothing further could be done, observing that, if kept in Hongkong unwillingly after undergoing the examination made by the proper Officers, they had themselves alone to blame.\n\n22. The Commission recommended that an Ordinance should be passed to meet the cases of females kidnapped or sold for purposes of prostitution.\n\n23. It will be observed in the Returns that the number of Chinese brought to this Port from Manila and Singapore is much in excess of the number leaving Hongkong for those places. This is a consequence of the large direct Emigration to Manila and Singapore from Amoy and Swatow. These people, on their return to their native land, have to come here first, whence they take passages by Junk or Coast Steamer for their homes.\n\n24. The deplorable loss by fire of the United States' Pacific Mail Steam-ship Japan, 4,351 tons register, on the 17th December last, in Latitude 22° 45′ N. and Longitude 116° 36′ E., while on her voyage from San Francisco to this Port via Yokohama in Japan, has to be reported. This vessel had a mixed crew (Americans and Chinese) of 136 persons, and there were 424 Chinese passengers on board. When about 135 miles from here, she caught fire near to, or in the fore coal bunker. In spite of the admirable arrangements of steam pumps which these ships possess, the vessel was cut off by flame. The Japan had boats and rafts calculated to hold 650 persons, which were all in the water with the exception of one large boat secured immediately abreast the fire. She was also supplied with 1,500 life preservers distributed in various parts of the ship ready for use. It is impossible to say with accuracy the numbers lost and saved, as some of the Chinese passengers were picked up floating on pieces of the wreck and conveyed in native boats to the land, where they saved their lives. The matter was investigated at the United States' Consulate when the Master was honourably acquitted of all blame, and the Chief Engineer was censured.",

Rejoining them where logical makes sense.\n\n3. **Standardizing format**:\n   - The output is already in HTML format with `` tags.\n\nGiven the rules and the original text, a more refined version, focusing on clear corrections and adhering to the rules, is as follows:\n\nHer Lu liller Party\n\nC\n\nMINUTE.\n\nHong Kong.

Il n'y a pas d'autre raison, car les recettes sont les mêmes et il s'agit ici de valeurs classées et non à placer.\n\nLes recettes brutes hebdomadaires des chemins de fer français, prises en prises en bloc, ne sont guère moins bonnes en 1876 qu'en 1875, mais c'est tout, et il y a purement arrêt dans la baisse, sans amélioration sérieuse dans les résultats. Voici les chiffres:\n\nA l'ancien réseau, il y a augmentation de 14.24 % sur le Midi, 7 % sur l'Ouest, 4.51 % sur l'Orléans, 3.25 % sur l'Est, et 2.70 % sur le Lyon, et diminution de 6.83 % sur le Nord. An nouveau réseau, augmentation de 21.76 % sur le Midi, 4.16 % sur l'Ouest, 3.46 % sur l'Est, et 2.63 % sur Orléans, et diminution de 2.03 % sur le Nord et 6.40 % sur le Lyon. La ligne du Rhône au Mont-Cenis (Lyon) et les chemins Algériens (Lyon également), ont, la première, diminué de 0.02 % et, les derniers, augmenté de 22.06 %. Les lignes de Lille à Valenciennes, du Nord-Est et de Lille à Béthune, exploitées par le Nord, sont en augmentation, respectivement, de 177.30 %, 88.27 % et 2.23 %. En dehors des six grandes compagnies, nous avons, pour les lignes d'intérêt général tout d'abord, augmentation de 44.21 % sur la ligne des Sables-d'Olonne à Tours (Vendée), 19.99 % sur le Vitré à Fougères, 4.87 % sur le Médoc, 2.42 % sur la Dombes (Sud-Est), et 0.50 % sur les Charentes, réseau entier, et diminution de 7.37 % sur la ligne de Sedan-Lérouville, appartenant à la compagnie de Lille à Valenciennes. - Quant aux lignes d'intérêt local, elles nous fournissent les augmentations suivantes: 57.16 % sur la ligne de Poitiers à Saumur (Vendée), 39.08 % sur la ligne de Falaise à Berjou-Pont-d'Ouilly (chemins normands), 17.48 % sur l'Orléans à Rouen et 0.99 % sur Caen à la mer (propriété privée). En fait de chemins étrangers, nous avons des augmentations de 20.98 % sur le Nord de l'Espagne (réseau propre), 17.33 % sur le Pampelone-Barcelone et 1.82 % sur les chemins portugais, et des diminutions de 4.90 % sur les chemins autrichiens, 2.61 % sur le Sud de l'Autriche (chemins lombards); 23.13 % sur le Madrid-Saragosse-Alicante-Séville, et enfin 53.20 % sur l'Alar-del-Rey à Santander, appartenant au Nord de l'Espagne.\n\nEn somme, voici, depuis le commencement de l'année, c'est-à-dire pour les 46 premières semaines écoulées, les résultats de 1876 comparés à ceux de 1875 :\n\n% 3.95 3.26 Chemins Algériens + 6.98 ע 500 17750 Auiches, 1. nov. 186......

Il y a encore un compte créditeur de 176,434 fr., qui figure aujourd'hui sous le titre de compte de prévision pour grosses répartitions. On voulait proposer à la réunion la conversion de la compagnie en société anonyme libre; mais l'assemblée extraordinaire qui pouvait là voter n'a pu se constituer. Elle a été renvoyée au 14 décembre.

E. by S. ½ S. southerly,\n\nThe water for some distance in-shore is from 3 to 6 feet deeper than on the shoal, and to the eastward, the bank extends from it about 1 cable, carrying from 15 to 18 feet of water, which then deepens to 4, 6, and 7 fathoms as shown on the chart. Vessels will be clear of this danger and of the edge of the bank, while keeping Rocky Islet open of Walker Point, and of the rocky point to the southward.\n\nG. P.

Urgent appeals are to hand for aid, and the Relief Committee here have resolved on adopting the same line of action that was pursued last year, namely, canvassing the foreign settlements at this place, writing to the outports, including Hongkong and Japan, and, in addition, to telegraph to England and America.\n\nLast year the Colony of Hongkong responded liberally to the appeals that were made for Shantung, and the necessities of the case compel us to renew our appeals this year, also in the hope that they will be as effective as they were then.\n\nWe have been appointed to write your Excellency for this purpose, and to lay the matter before you, requesting that such means may be carried out at Hongkong, as may be thought most suitable. Your kind attention to this will be the occasion of much thankfulness to the members of our Relief Committee and it is desired that any monies contributed for the object may be sent to the Treasurer of the Fund, F. W. LEMARCHAND, Esq., Agra Bank, Shangbai.\n\nHis Excellency  \nThe Governor of Hongkong,  \n&c.,  \n&c.\n\nWe have, &c.  \nWM. MUIRHEAD,  \nHon. Sec., China Famine Relief Fund.  \nE. REEVES PALMER,  \nMinister of Union Church, Shanghai.\n\n## R. C. MISSION HOUSE, HONGKONG, 7th February, 1878.\n\nEXCELLENCY,-The appalling news of the horrors of famine, which I almost daily receive from the North of China, compels me to recur to the generosity of the heart of Your Excellency, craving for a relief for so many famine-stricken fellow-creatures. As Procurator of the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda Fide, I continually receive letters from the heads of the Italian Missions, that is the Provinces of Shen-Shi, Shan-Shi and Honan, the Provinces most suffering from famine. My great friend the Right Reverend Bishop VOLONTERI, Vicar Apostolic of Honan, well known here in Hongkong where he worked as Missionary for 10 years and who made the so widely spread chart of the San-on district) writes me in date of 12th January, that the horrors of famine are so great, that fathers are seen eating the corpse of their children, and children assisting at the death of their fathers, eating them immediately as they have expired. Indeed the local Mandarins do something, but quite powerless for so many dying people in those huts where at times some 5 or 6 thousand people collected receive a daily soup by the Government, some 60 or 100 corpses are extracted every day.\n\nAfter such terrible description of the horrors of famine, the Right Reverend Bishop VOLONTERI, and the Right Reverend Bishop LING, Vicar Apostolic of Shan-Shi pray me to do all that lay in my power to find some relief for so many poor creatures, whom they are condemned to see dying every hour around them, unable as they are through poverty to stretch forth their hands to help them. I urged by such pitiful motives take courage to put my humble petition for some relief in the hands of Your Excellency, knowing the sincere feelings of charity which animates your heart, and hoping that the Colonial Government, which was so liberal last year for the poor people of Shantung Province will also come to the help of those of Shan-Shi and Honan.\n\nI have, &c.,  \nG. BURGHIGNOLI,  \nProcurator of Propaganda Fide.\n\nHis Excellency  \nJOHN POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G.,  \nGovernor of Hongkong,  \n&c.,  \n&c.,  \n&c.\n\n# THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH FEBRUARY, 1878.\n\n## GOVERNMENT HOUSE, MADRAS, 11th January, 1878.\n\nSIR,-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of two drafts amounting to Rupees 543.10.4, towards the Famine Relief Fund.\n\nI beg that you will convey to Bishop RAIMONDI and to the Officers and Men of the Portuguese Gun-vessel Tejo, my best thanks for the remittance.\n\nI remain, &c.,  \nBUCKINGHAM AND CHANDOS.\n\nHis Excellency JOHN POPE HENNESSY, Esq.,  \nGovernor of Hongkong.\n\n## GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.\n\n### TEACHING OF ENGLISH IN THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS.\n\nThe following Letters and Minutes are published for general information.\n\nBy Command,  \nColonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 15th February, 1878.\n\n[No. 15.]  \nJ. GARDINER AUSTIN,  \nColonial Secretary.\n\nHONGKONG, 28th January, 1878.\n\nSIR,-Referring to your Letter No. 132 of the 2nd March last, informing me of the Secretary of State's approval of the proposal for introducing a system of payment by results in the Government Schools of the Colony, I have the honour to report as follows:-\n\nThe Schools ranked as very good are the\n1. Tang-lung Chau (Púnti) School.\n2. Wantsai School.\n3. Stanley School.\n\nThe Schools ranked as good are the-\n1. Sai Ying-pún (Púnti) School.\n2. Há Wán School.\n3. Shéung Wán School.\n4. Shán-ki Wán School.\n5. Girls' School.\n6. Tang-lung Chau (Hakka) School.\n7. Ap-li Chau School.\n8. Shek-t'ong Tsúi School.\n9. Ta'at Tsz-múi School.\n\n| Rank | Payment |\n| --- | --- |\n| 5 Masters | $25 each |\n| 7 Masters | $15 each |\n\nTotal, $230.00  \n($125.00 + $105.00)\n\nThis payment comes under the denomination of Grants-in-Aid. I have already, in my Letter No. 3 of 7th instant, (C.S.O. No. 38), reported that the Grants-in-Aid this year are in excess of the sum voted for the purpose. I trust, however, that His Excellency the Governor, on considering the circumstances of the present year, will not object to making provision for this further sum; and I shall be glad if the Warrant for payment is issued in time to enable me to pay the Masters on the 1st proximo, before they go home for their New Year holidays.\n\nI have the honour to be,  \nSir,  \nYour most obedient Servant,  \nFREDERICK STEWART,  \nInspector of Schools.\n\nThe Honourable J.

GARDINER AUSTIN,  \nColonial Secretary.\n\n### Minute by His Excellency the Governor.\n\nI have already sanctioned the extra payments in accordance with Mr. STEWART's recommendation, subject to the approval of the Legislative Council.\n\nOn visiting some of these Village Schools, I found the Schoolmasters could not speak a word of English, and as far as I could ascertain, none of the pupils had any knowledge of English.\n\nPossibly, in some of the Government Schools I have not yet been able to visit, there may be instruction in English; I should therefore be glad if Mr. STEWART would make out a list of the Schoolmasters of the Village Schools, marking in each case, those who can teach English, and those who cannot. Also the total number of pupils in each Village School, and the number in each that can speak English.\n\nJ. POPE HENNESSY,  \n29th January, 1878.",

        "content_text": "# Trial of the Official Assignee\n\nThe office, but it was reported that he was ill. Letters were written to him by some of the parties begging him to settle the matter, and he put it off and put it off. On Saturday, the 17th August, the creditors, who had then become suspicious, were about to take other proceedings. A summons was obtained from the Bankruptcy Court for the purpose of bringing the prisoner to account. It was sent to be served upon him, and it was found he had just previously gone to Macao. He obtained no leave of absence either from the Governor or the Court. The summons was sent after him to Macao on the Monday and served upon him, but he did not return. Certain correspondence took place between the Governor of this Colony and the Governor of Macao, and finally, a police constable who had been sent over with a warrant found him on board the steamer, where he had been put by the Portuguese authorities. He was then brought back to this colony. These are the facts of the case. Up to the present moment, no explanation whatever has been given.\n\nThe prisoner has, as he has a right to do, reserved his defence. For aught I know to the contrary, it is possible he may have a defence on the merits of this case that will completely exculpate him, but until that is brought before you, I shall submit that under the circumstances, especially with regard to this matter of Lyall, Still and Co., that there is a prima facie case against him, and that until he can show you that that prima facie case is not a correct one, it would be your duty to convict him of fraudulent misappropriation at least. He has had every opportunity since his return to this Colony to inspect the books and so forth, and, as I say, he had a perfect right to reserve his defence before the magistrate. Although he went to Macao, he may be able to give an explanation of that, and he may be able to show on the merits he is not guilty of the offence charged. Of course, if he is able to do that, no one will be more delighted than we should be to see him leave the dock without a stain on his character, but, so far as I am instructed, up to the present time, no defence has been put forward in any way whatever.\n\nThe presumption of law, as I take it, arising from his conduct amounts to this, that with regard to the estate of Lyall, Still and Co., at all events, he must have misappropriated the money, and the only question therefore will be a question of law, as to whether he comes within the section of the Ordinance. With regard to the first count, my lord, he is charged with being a public servant. There has been considerable difference of opinion as to whether the prisoner stands in that position or not. There is no decided case that I can find affecting it in one way or another, and therefore I presume if the objection is taken that the prisoner does not come within that, your Lordship will probably reserve that for argument on a future occasion instead of taking up the time of the jury now, when perhaps the matter could be settled in a better way before the full court.\n\nThe arguments which would be used are shortly these: that although it must be admitted Mr. Haffam, as an officer of the court, was a public servant within the meaning of the act, yet that having been appointed Official Assignee under a special Ordinance, he was not in that position. The arguments in support would be that he is the Official Assignee under the Ordinance, that he is appointed by the Governor, who takes the place of Her Majesty in making such appointments, and that he would be responsible both to the Government and the Court for the performance of his duties; that though the moneys which came into his hands came in only for the distribution of the amounts among the creditors, he was also responsible to this Court and the Executive for the way in which he disposed of these amounts; he was appointed by the Governor and he was liable to be dismissed by the Governor if he did not perform his duties.\n\n## Proceedings Continue\n\nHis Lordship—I very much doubt that.\n\nThe Attorney-General—Well, the power of appointment is undoubtedly in the Governor.\n\nHis Lordship—And the moment he was appointed he became an officer of the Bankruptcy Court.\n\nThe Attorney-General—It has always been considered, as a general rule, that where a person has the power of appointment, that same person has the power of dismissal, but if your Lordship doubts it, I need not take up the time now.\n\nHis Lordship—It seems to me to be a question of evidence; if you can show the jury the fact, there might be a case under that section.\n\nThe Attorney-General—What I am prepared to show is that he was appointed and received these moneys in virtue of such appointment.\n\nHis Lordship—Then I should rule he was not.\n\nThe Attorney-General—Then with regard to the next count, that of course includes all the moneys he has received as Official Assignee, because it is charged they were received for a public purpose and the whole amount is included. This would apply to the first and second counts. It would appear that of the various assets that came under his control under the notification of the Government Gazette, there are balances that ought to be in his possession, including Lyall, Still, & Co.'s balance, amounting to $56,230.18. Out of that $56,230.18, $5,876 were in the Treasury, leaving a deficit of a little over $50,000. According to his own accounts, which will be produced before you, that is the state of the balance-sheet, and accordingly he is charged on the first count with embezzling the sum of $50,000 and on the second with misappropriating $50,000 public moneys.\n\nWith regard to the third count, he is charged with misappropriating $46,549.79 belonging to the estate of Lyall, Still and Co., and the evidence to support that will be his own balance-sheet, bringing down a balance of that amount, and the papers he produced showing the amount to be distributed amongst the creditors. With regard to the fourth count, $20,400, that would be the amount which he received from the bank on the 26th April, 1872. With regard to the $4,831, that is the amount obtained by Mr. Sharp and returned. The amount paid to Mr. Sharp was $5,000; there was a small amount of costs in this estate deducted, and a cheque was given for the balance, and subsequently, there was a small amount paid to Mr. Sharp for costs in the same estate. These amounts are nowhere noticed in the accounts themselves, but in the balance-sheet, he shows a balance of $47,618.63, and he puts down less $168.52 paid to Sharp and Toller for costs. That is the only notice taken of it in any way whatever.\n\nWith regard to the second count, it may be contended, my lord, that these were not moneys received for a certain public purpose, and the same remarks apply to that very nearly that would apply to the first count. With regard to the third, fourth, and fifth counts, which are under the section relating to trustees, it is only necessary for me to call your Lordship's attention to the interpretation clause, which provides that the word \"trustee\" shall include assignees in bankruptcy as well as certain other public officers.\n\nThese, gentlemen, are the facts of the case, and of course, with regard to any legal points that are involved, you will take his Lordship's direction. I need hardly say that in a case of this kind, I have no doubt you will give your patient attention to the whole of the evidence, although it does involve some question of accounts and figures, and that you will consider the magnitude of it in regard to amount and so forth, and in regard to the effect it may have on the prisoner's future career. You will give it that attention it deserves, and at the same time, you will put away from your minds anything you may have heard or thought previously to coming into court, and give the evidence placed before you your unbiased attention without fear, favour, or affection, either to the Crown or the prisoner at the bar.\n\n## Witness Testimony\n\nHon. C. B. Plunket, Registrar of the Court, was the first witness called. He said—As Registrar of the Supreme Court, I am Official Assignee in Bankruptcy. I produce the file in the estate of Lyall, Still, and Co. The bankrupts' names were George Lyall, Charles Frederick Still, and George Francis McLean. They traded under the style of Lyall, Still, and Co. (`File put in as evidence of the proper adjudication of the bankruptcy`). I produce the Government Gazette containing the appointment of the prisoner as official assignee in bankrupt estates.\n\nMr. Francis submitted the Gazette alone was not evidence of the appointment of the prisoner, as the Ordinance which made it evidence for certain purposes did not make it for this purpose.\n\nSome little discussion took place on this point, and finally, his Lordship said if Mr. Francis really wished him to take a note of the objection, he would do so.\n\nPage 203",

Neither would it be likely to conduce to the formation of sill by interference with the free flow of the tidal currents as will be seen from the small red and blue arrows on the trace indicating respectively the set of the flood and ebb streams.\n\nThe Surveyor General has pointed out in his Report that the Vide foreshore at Causeway Bay is due to extremely rich accumulations of detritus washed down by the rains from inland, rather than to any action of the tidal currents. This view is not doubted; in fact the whole coast line in front of Victoria, was shown in the case of the Praia references is gradually silting from a similar cause. Then comparing the present soundings Chart dated 1844 with the original in the Hydrographer's office, I find the loss of depth is limited to that portion of the Bay immediate seaward of low water mark, or to an outward travel of the low water line, and a corresponding growth of the foreshore and has not resulted in raising the level of the sea bed in the outer portion of the Bay to any material extent. This fact further tends to confirm the view that the low water area of the Bay is being gradually reduced by the deposit of detritus washed down by the summer rains, and points to the conclusion that the...",

Macdonnell some years ago; I will merely observe with reference to your Chart in the Blue Book for 1871 that information is only forwarded for 1872.\n\nI should be very glad if greater alacrity took place in the transmission of Correspondence from Headquarters with respect to matters relating to the office appointed to support the Governor.\n\n| No. | Date. | Subject. |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 65 | 27 May 1860 | Celebration of the Anniversary of the Queen's Birthday |\n\nPrevious Paper: Prince Henry's visit (No 25, 23 July Straits)\n\nExtract from \"Bally Times\" reporting on the occasion.\n\n(Minutes.)\n\nAcknowledgement received June 12.\n\nBut surely this was as it should be. The Queen's Representation alone on this strictly formal occasion could not have purported to do more than our Royal Princes had been present.\n\nAnd it was altogether irregular that a Foreign Prince should propose the Queen's Health, which only the foremost alone could properly do.\n\nIt is, then, manifest and explains that the dinner...",

A punishment book should be kept in every prison, and should be submitted at regular intervals, certainly not less often than once a month, to the superintending authority, distinct from the officers of the prison, and approved authority, which is tasked with reporting any illegality or misuse of punishment.\n\nIn paragraph 4 of the chart, it is stated that in 1828 there were 1828 illegal floggings of one prisoner. This statement seems to be an error and needs to be inquired into.\n\nIt was reported that the floggings took place without proper authority. Keswick's visit to the prison revealed that the regulations were not followed.\n\nThe question of whether he is to blame depends upon the regulations under which he acted, which may not have contemplated such actions.\n\nLent Kimberley - Sept 26/80\n\nThe regulations of the Army seem to have been referenced, but the reply is not clear.\n\nThe Draft of the Ordinance is to be sent to you to bring the law of Wrecking into accordance with English law & practice.\n\nFor Wongfield\n\n30.9\n\nWhen you peruse the St. K.

Wade, nevertheless as he seems to expect that that long-vexed question may be reopened at any moment, and appears to be strongly in favour of the Chinese Claim, it has been thought advisable, whilst looking into the correspondence to see what has passed on previous occasions with regard to the appointment of Consular Agents at Macao, to examine it also in order to ascertain what views the British Government have, at different times, entertained upon the subject of the Claims of China and Portugal to sovereignty over the peninsula, and the following is the result of that research. No Treaty or Agreement of any kind has, so far as I am aware, ever been produced showing how, and under what conditions, the Portuguese first obtained possession of Macao; but it is well known that they have been in uninterrupted possession of the place for more than 300 years.\n\nIt may be well to explain at the outset of this memorandum that there are two places at the mouth of the Canton River adjoining each other which bear the name of Macao. One is an “island,” so called in the Admiralty Chart, and the other a promontory or peninsula.\n\nThe former, no doubt, belongs to China, but the right of sovereignty over the latter is claimed both by China and Portugal.\n\nThe exact position of these two places is shown on the following extract from the Admiralty Chart published in 1857 :-\n\n[50]\n\nB",

Portuguese population, 5,000, with slaves; Chinese ditto, 30,000, under a Mandarin;\" and opposite a line drawn across the neck of the peninsula, to mark the Portuguese boundary, another note is inserted, stating that the \"barrier wall was built in 1573 to confine the Portuguese.\"\n\nThe Portuguese state :-\n\nNovember 29, 1849.\n\n\"The sovereignty and possession which the Portuguese Crown has maintained in the city and territory of Macao, never interrupted during the long period of more than 300 years, is legally founded upon the concession of the said territory made to that Crown by the Emperors of China, in order that the Portuguese, who had succeeded in liberating the coasts and seas of the Empire from the pirates by whom they were infested, might establish themselves permanently there, building houses and fortresses in which they might dwell and defend themselves, governing themselves by their own laws, but paying to that Empire the small yearly charge of 500 taels,* a true covenant by quit-rent being thus effected, by which the full dominion of that territory was transferred to the Crown of Portugal.\"\n\n+ About 1661.\n\n3\n\nMr. Wade, No. 8; July 10, 1864.\n\nrent being thus effected, by which the full dominion of that territory was transferred to the Crown of Portugal.\n\nMr. Wade, however, stated, in 1864, that the rent which had up to that time been paid was 800 taels (2667).\n\nIt would appear to be unnecessary to attempt to give an account of what passed during the first two centuries in which the peninsula was held by the Portuguese, although it may be stated that in 1622, and again in 1627, the Dutch unsuccessfully attacked the Portuguese at Macao, but that in 1661 they succeeded in defeating the Portuguese naval forces in the East Indies; that in that same year a Treaty of Alliance was concluded between Great Britain and Portugal, by which the King of England engaged to defend the Portuguese possessions \"as Hertslet's Treaties, vol. 1, p. 494.

The Portuguese Governor, in consequence, informed the Admiral commanding the British vessels that he could not comply with his wish to be allowed to land his troops at Macao, because his being per...\n\n139",

        "content_text": "(10)\n\nJapan. Hongkong itself occupies a position which is comparatively exempt from typhoons, the majority of these storms passing either to the east or south of the island. As is shown in a monograph lately published by the Director of the Zi Ka Wei observatory, near Shanghai, of thirteen typhoons which traversed the South China sea last year, two only passed at all near to Hongkong, and of these the centre-tracks were at a sufficiently safe distance. Nevertheless, it is hardly possible to overstate the value of Manila as a warning station for vessels about to leave Hong Kong's southern, eastern or northern ports, or vessels approaching it from those places. Means should therefore be provided for enabling the Director of the Hongkong Observatory to be placed, whenever necessary, in prompt communication by telegraph with Manila, Amoy, Shanghai, Saigon and Singapore as well as with the south of Japan. A system of daily telegraphic weather exchanges with the chief ports should also be organized as soon as possible. For these purposes, it will be necessary to connect the Observatory with the existing telegraph line which crosses the harbour to Kowloon Dock to Whitfield Police Station. The Observatory may thus be made to fulfil the useful purpose of a Weather Intelligence Office in times of danger for the whole neighbouring region; while from the daily exchanges, ships' logs, and trustworthy private observations, a large body of facts relating to typhoons and the monsoons may be gradually amassed.\n\nThe Photographic instruments will comprise three Magnetometers, for continuous registration of changes in the declination and the horizontal and vertical forces by means of a central recording apparatus, driven by clockwork and carrying the photographic papers—the whole constituting, with accessories, a complete Magnetograph. They will exhibit the periodic variations, as well as those mysterious phenomena of simultaneous disturbance extending over the entire earth's surface and called magnetic storms, which are amongst the most extraordinary in the whole range of physics. The magnet of the Declination magnetometer is placed in the magnetic meridian; that for measuring variations of the Horizontal force is compelled by torsion to take a position transverse to the meridian; the third, for measuring variations of Vertical force, is balanced on knife-edges.\n\nIt is also used for ascertaining the absolute value of the horizontal component of total force in the direction of the dip, by observations of deflection and vibration. The Unifilar Magnetometer is used for determining the absolute declination.\n\nThe Dip-Circle affords measures of the magnetic inclination, or \"dip,\" and can be used under certain circumstances for measuring variations of the total force.\n\nIt is most unfortunate that the south part of Formosa is not as yet provided with telegraphic means of communication. This is a cardinal point in the chain of surrounding stations, and, until it is brought into telegraphic connexion with the rest, our system of weather intelligence cannot be made as perfect as might be desired. The exclusion of Hainan in this respect is also to be regretted. For purposes of warning to vessels in Hongkong harbour, a signal-mast should be erected near the Time-Ball at Kowloon, and a code of signals established and given the fullest publication. The signals might be repeated on the existing mast at the Harbour Office.\n\nThe chief magnetic building, for the differential instruments, should be a basement or vault, almost wholly underground, and contain an instrument-chamber and a photographic laboratory. I recommend about 22 feet by 20 feet and 12 feet by 10 feet as suitable dimensions for those rooms, and the building should be laid out with the long side of the instrument-room inclined 15 degrees to the west of magnetic north, the laboratory being at the northern end.\n\nThe annexed small drawing will give an idea of the character of the building which I propose, and of the positions of the instruments. It shows that the actual chamber for the magnetograph has an arched roof, and is wholly enclosed within a similar building, the walls and roofs of the two being separated by a space of two feet. The floor of the chamber is 15.4 feet below the surface of the ground, and the highest point of the external arch is 21 feet above the floor. Covering this arch, there will be (1) 3 inches of asphalte, (2) six inches of fine concrete, (3) two feet of earth; the surface being finally turfed. Small relieving arches will need to be built at intervals between the side walls of the outer and inner chambers, in order to meet the thrust upon the inner walls. The main chamber will be quite dark, but a small amount of yellow light will be admitted to the laboratory.\n\nWhen the scientific establishment at Kowloon has been fairly started, it will probably be considered needless to keep up all of the meteorological stations now existing in different parts of the Colony. I certainly think that the stations at the Harbour Office, Stone Cutters' Island and Hospital might very well be abolished. But I would recommend that those at Victoria Peak and Cape d'Aguilar be retained, as they are points at which observations, especially those of the barometer and the wind, will always be of value; and I suggest that both places be supplied with an anemometer, in order that the wind may be observed more accurately than is possible at present, care being taken to get instruments of superior strength.\n\nIII Terrestrial Magnetism.\n\nAlthough the character of the rocks and soil of Hongkong and Kowloon is not the most favourable that could be chosen for magnetic research, yet the position of the Colony on the magnetic chart, and with respect to other places where observatories are already established, leaves no room to doubt that well-conducted observations of this class will be of great value to the science. These will comprise observations for determining the Absolute Values of the elements of the Earth's magnetic force, namely, its Declination, Inclination and Intensity—as well as those for ascertaining the periodic, secular and irregular Variations which the elements undergo, and the laws of which still await complete theoretical explanation. The former class of determinations—i.e., those of Absolute values—are pretty certain to be more or less prejudicially affected by local attraction proceeding from the granitic rocks and soil; but the Variations, which form by far the more important object of research, can be deduced just as well in the presence as in the absence of local attraction.\n\nThe instruments with which Dr. DE LA RUE proposes to equip the magnetic branch are,\n\nFor the above and other essential details, Mr. BOWDLER's past experience in designing and erecting the excellent Magnetic Observatory at Mauritius will prove of the utmost service in the present case. Mr. BOWDLER has, indeed, been good enough to prepare a detailed drawing after the pattern of the Mauritius building, and although I propose, for the sake of economy, to depart in some important respects from the plan there carried out, his drawing furnishes much practical and useful information, applicable to all works of this kind. It has been of great service to me in preparing the accompanying design.\n\nA set of photographic self-registering Magnetic instruments, of the Kew pattern, with accessories, &c.;\n\nA Unifilar Magnetometer;\n\nA Dip-Circle, with four needles;\n\nall of which, as well as the Meteorological instruments, will be verified at Kew before they are sent out. Their total cost is estimated at £424.\n\n*This, however, so far as it concerns Cape d'Aguilar, must depend upon whether good observations of the wind can be obtained at or near to the light-house, a point which may be easily ascertained.\n\nIt remains to consider the material which shall be used for the magnetic building, and which, as needs hardly be stated, must be practically free from iron. Unfortunately, the granite of this region is out of the question, on account of the large percentage of protoxide of iron which it contains. For the same reason we must condemn the concrete that is in common use in Hongkong, since its main ingredient...",

        "content_text": "543\n\n(10)\n\nJapan. Hongkong itself occupies a position which is comparatively exempt from typhoons, the great majority of these storms passing either to the east or south of the island. As is shown in an able monograph lately published by the Director of the Zi Ka Wei observatory, near Shanghai, out of thirteen typhoons which traversed the South China sea last year, two only passed at all near to Hongkong, and of these the centre-tracks were at a sufficiently safe distance. Nevertheless, it is hardly possible to overstate the value of Manila as a warning station for vessels about to leave Hongkong for southern, eastern or northern ports, or vessels approaching it from those places. Means should therefore be provided for enabling the Director of the Hongkong Observatory to be placed, whenever necessary, in prompt communication by telegraph with Manila, Amoy, Shanghai, Saigon and Singapore, as well as with the south of Japan. A system of daily telegraphic weather exchanges with the chief ports should also be organized as soon as possible. For these purposes, it will be necessary to connect the Observatory with the existing telegraph line which crosses the harbour from Kau-lung Dock to Whitfield Police Station. The Observatory may thus be made to fulfil the useful purpose of a Weather Intelligence Office in times of danger for the whole neighbouring region; while, from the daily exchanges, ships' logs, and trustworthy private observations, a large body of facts relating to typhoons and the monsoons may be gradually amassed.\n\nIt is most unfortunate that the south part of Formosa is not as yet provided with telegraphic means of communication. This is a cardinal point in the chain of surrounding stations, and, until it is brought into telegraphic connexion with the rest, our system of weather intelligence cannot be made as perfect as might be desired. The exclusion of Hainan in this respect is also to be regretted, For purposes of warning to vessels in Hongkong harbour, a signal-mast should be erected near the Time-Ball at Kau-lung, and a code of signals established and given the fullest publication. These signals might be repeated on the existing mast at the Harbour Office.\n\nWhen the scientific establishment at Kau-lung has been fairly started, it will probably be considered needless to keep up all of the meteorological stations now existing in different parts of the Colony. I certainly think that the stations at the Harbour Office, Stone Cutters' Island and the Hospital might very well be abolished. But I would recommend that those at Victoria Peak and Cape d'Aguilar be retained, as they are points at which observations, especially those of the barometer and the wind, will always be of value; and I suggest that both places be supplied with an anemometer, in order that the wind may be observed more accurately than is possible at present, care being taken to get instruments of superior strength.*\n\n*This however, so far as it concerns Cape d'Aguilar, must depend upon whether good observations of the wind can be obtained at or near to the light-house, a point which may be easily ascertained.\n\n(11)\n\nIII Terrestrial Magnetism.\n\nAlthough the character of the rocks and soil of Hongkong and Kau-lung is not the most favourable that could be chosen for magnetic research, yet the position of the Colony on the magnetic chart, and with respect to other places where observatories are already established, leaves no room to doubt that well-conducted observations of this class will be of great value to the science. These will comprise observations for determining the Absolute Values of the elements of the Earth's magnetic force,- namely, its Declination, Inclination and Intensity--as well as those for ascertaining the periodic, secular and irregular Variations which the elements undergo, and the laws of which still await complete theoretical explanation. The former class of determinations, i.e., those of Absolute values-are pretty certain to be more or less prejudicially affected by local attraction proceeding from the granitic rocks and soil; but the Variations, which form by far the more important object of research, can be deduced just as well in the presence as in the absence of local attraction.\n\nThe instruments with which Dr. De La Rue proposes to equip the magnetic branch are,\n\nA set of photographic self-registering Magnetic instruments, of the Kew pattern, with accessories, &c.;\n\nA Unifilar Magnetometer;\n\nA Dip-Circle, with four needles;\n\nall of which, as well as the Meteorological instruments, will be verified at Kew before they are sent out. Their total cost is estimated at £424.\n\nThe Photographic instruments will comprise three Magnetometers, for continuous registration of the changes in the declination and the horizontal and vertical forces by means of a central recording apparatus, driven by clockwork and carrying the photographic papers--the whole constituting, with certain accessories, a complete Magnetograph. They will exhibit the periodic variations, as well as those mysterious phenomena of simultaneous disturbance extending over the entire earth's surface, and called magnetic storms, which are amongst the most extraordinary in the whole range of physics.\n\nThe magnet of the Declination magnetometer is placed in the magnetic meridian; that for measuring variations of the Horizontal force is compelled by torsion to take a position transverse to the meridian; the third, for measuring variations of Vertical force, is balanced on knife-edges.\n\nThe Unifilar Magnetometer is used for ascertaining the absolute value of the horizontal component of the total force in the direction of the dip, by observations of deflection and vibration. It is also used for determining the absolute declination.\n\nThe Dip-Circle affords measures of the magnetic inclination, or \"dip,\" and can be used under certain circumstances for measuring variations of the total force.\n\nThe chief magnetic building, for the differential instruments, should be a basement or vault, almost wholly underground, and contain an instrument-chamber and a photographic laboratory. I recommend about 22 feet by 20 feet and 12 feet by 10 feet as suitable dimensions for those rooms, and the building should be laid out with the long side of the instrument-room inclined 15 degrees to the west of the magnetic north, the laboratory being at the northern end.\n\nThe annexed small drawing will give an idea of the character of the building which I propose, and of the positions of the instruments. It shows that the actual chamber for the magnetograph has an arched roof, and is wholly enclosed within a similar building, the walls and roofs of the two being separated by a space of two feet. The floor of the chamber is 15 feet below the surface of the ground, and the highest point of the external arch is 21 feet above the floor. Covering this arch, there will be (1) inch asphalte, (2) six inches of fine concrete, (3) two feet of earth; the surface being finally turfed. Small relieving arches will need to be built at intervals between the side walls of the outer and inner chambers, in order to meet the thrust upon the inner walls. The main chamber will be quite dark, but a small amount of yellow light will be admitted to the laboratory.\n\nAlthough the vault form of construction is the best for differential magnetic observations, since it secures the great desideratum of an equable temperature, there are obvious complications and difficulties connected with it. Thorough drainage must be carefully provided, in order to keep it dry; and there must be arrangements for carrying off the heat and smoke of lamps. Ventilation also presents a grave difficulty, especially in a climate so hot and damp as that of Hongkong is during several months of the year. It is evident that, if warm air laden with moisture be admitted to an underground chamber which is appreciably cooler, it will produce a constant state of saturation, and be continually depositing its moisture on the delicate instruments and apparatus. A long underground air-flue, connected with vertical shafts, must therefore be provided, in order that the incoming air may be cooled to the temperature of the vault, as nearly as possible, before reaching it. These devices are of course expensive, but it is better to put up with the cost than to face the alternative of a building above ground, in which the great variations of temperature would be fatal to satisfactory observation.\n\nFor the above and other essential details, Mr. BOWDLER's past experience in designing and erecting the excellent Magnetic Observatory at Mauritius will prove of the utmost service in the present case. Mr. BOWDLER has, indeed, been good enough to prepare a detailed drawing after the pattern of the Mauritius building, and although I propose, for the sake of economy, to depart in some important respects from the plan there carried out, his drawing furnishes much practical and useful information, applicable to all works of this kind. It has been of great service to me in preparing the accompanying design.\n\nIt remains to consider the material which shall be used for the magnetic building, and which, as needs hardly be stated, must be practically free from iron. Unfortunately, the granite of this region is out of the question, on account of the large percentage of protoxide of iron which it contains. For the same reason we must condemn the concrete that is in common use in Hongkong, since its main ingredient...",

        "content_text": "18 \n\n## THE CHINA REVIEW\n\nto exhibit progressively the idiom of the language, and treating also of the Grammatical principles which extended analysis and comparison show to underlie the same. The classifiers, numerical categories, and compound verbs should all be fully displayed in such a work, advantage being taken of all previous labours which could in any way throw light on the several portions I have indicated. Where it seemed desirable only to present a portion or outline of any subject, references should direct the enquirer to the best and latest authority, and accuracy in detail should be deemed a first essential in every part.\n\nAny one expecting to find something of this sort in Dr. Burdon's new Primer will most certainly be sorely disappointed. It is evidently only a part of a scheme for the study of Chinese as Dr. Burdon thinks it ought to be studied. Writing exercises, as advertised by the Preface, are provided in a separate volume, and an adaptation of Wade's forty exercises are to complete the work, and supply also the much-needed sentences to exemplify the use of the material contained in the part already published. It being the case that there exists no standard to show what a Primer of the Chinese language should be, every one is free to follow the bent of his own mind in devising a plan for learning or assisting others to learn it. Dr. Bridgman recommends the use of colloquial sentences, which the student should analyse by the aid of a Tonic Dictionary, not aiming at quantity but thoroughness \"non multa sed multum.\" That this principle has been found excellent in practice, is shown by the fact to which I have already alluded that in most instances it has been followed by writers of books for beginners. Mr. Ross also has framed his recently published Mandarin Primer on the same principle. Dr. Burdon, however, as the result of his extended experience of Chinese, during more than twenty years past, presents us with a Primer of 50 pages to be committed to memory, in which no sentences and no grammatical rules whatever are given. We have here, it appears, a return to the exploded educational system of the last century, which demanded that the pupil's memory should first be surcharged with categories, before any attempt was allowed at combining words into sentences. \"In seeking,\" says Dr. Burdon, \"to acquire the language, commit much to memory. Learn off by heart the Radicals, their number, form, and meaning; the numeratives with their examples, the groups of words, &c.\"--- the &c., standing, we opine, for either the weights and measures, or the so-called list of Canton equivalents for mun-li expressions with which he concludes. How opposite this to the advice of Dr. Bridgman, \"Special care should be taken not to overburden the mind. By attempting to compass too much at once, the memory is weakened, the intellectual faculties are fatigued, debility and disgust ensue,\" &c.,-a good description of the result to be expected in the case of any one attempting implicitly to follow Dr. Burdon's directions.\n\nI can hardly conceive a work more calculated to depress and daunt the would-be student than the endeavour to charge his memory with these disconnected lists. He might as well begin in the Chinese manner with the Three-character Classic. If it is what its name imports this Primer is a book to be mastered before any other, a book that shall initiate the learner into the elementary construction of the language. But I venture to say that after painfully committing it to memory any one would be as far from talking Cantonese as ever he was. In fact, he would still require an introduction to Chinese. Just as some of our natural philosophers, finding great difficulty in realizing the conception of a first-man fully matured at big creation, seek about for traces of pre-adamite man, so will intending students of Chinese on looking into this primer cast an anxious eye around for some preliminary primer or book before the first! The fact that the work opens with the Radicals presupposes a previous acquaintance with characters, or is based on the misconception that radicals are to the Chinese, what alphabets are to Indo-European languages. A man may write and read much Chinese correctly without knowing anything of radicals as such, and the acquisition of these may fairly be deferred until several hundred common characters are known and the classification of a Tonic Dictionary is found insufficient for the student's wants. A few days' practice in classifying characters with which one is already familiar will do more to fix the radicals upon the mind than months of laborious effort to learn them by rote.\n\n## A CHINESE PRIMER\n\nBut what shall I say of the mistakes, which disfigure this new list in a work intended for beginners? Dr. Burdon informs us that his work is \"little more than a compilation,\" but that \"little more\" includes the deviations from presumed existing authorities which he here introduces - deviations which result in grave inaccuracies.\n\nInformed at starting that \"Those radicals marked * are ONLY used in combination,\" we proceed to glance through the list and find 21, 52, 9, 89, and 179, so marked; the fact being that they are all used, and some very frequently in the Classics, as a reference to Kanghi or Dr. Legge's Indices will at once show. On the other hand Nos. 13, 122, 141, which are only used in combination, lack the mark which should point this out. For No. 166 a wrong character is given thus, `pin` to separate, whereas this character is `toi` to pluck, or take by the hand, and has the right character for its radical. The meaning of 154 is given as pearls, whereas it should be either cowries or, as a radical, precious: 80 is rendered to imitate, the radical meaning being blending, and 192 is translated sacrificial herbs, but should either be Fragrant herbs or herb favoured spirits (See Dr. Eitel's Dictionary or Dr. Legge's Shoo). Lastly No. 120 should have `mi` for its sound and not `Sr`. I am the more surprised at these errors as Dr. Burdon seems to have taken advantage of some corrections which Dr. Williams has introduced into the list of Radicals in his Syllabic Dictionary, e.g. No. 178 `Wei`, correctly rendered leather or soft leather. Why again should Kanghi's first definition of 113 be persistently overlooked and the second sound only given when the frequent use of this radical in combination so clearly requires, that we give it its true value as Spirits of the Earth, instead of `She2` to admonish or as Dr. Williams corrects an omen.\n\nThe forms and are always used in combination for Nos. 162 and 163 or 170 respectively, not merely generally. These things may appear trifling in the eyes of some, but students will not think me hypercritical in pointing out these oversights in a work intended for beginners, in which accuracy is of prime necessity. Perhaps Dr. Burdon thinks with Martial-- \n\n> Turpe est dificiles habere nugas  \n> Et stultus labor est ineptiorum.\n\nHowever that may be, I am sure most readers will agree with me that it is no trifling matter to be put on the wrong scent by one who ought to be an authority in these matters; and I may dismiss the radicals with a reminiscence of a Sinologist in high position, whose temper was occasionally ruffled by the difficulties attending their use even after long acquaintance. A new comer presented himself as having just arrived from England and was asked, \"Have you done anything yet towards learning Chinese?\" \"Not much,\" was the reply; \"excepting trying to learn the radicals.\" \"Very good! do you know their use?\" \"I can't say that I quite understand it yet.\" \"I will show you, you see this character,\" said the great man. He ran his finger down a page of Chinese, and passing over one or two as being too simple, stopped at a complicated mass of strokes, \"Well I want to find this in the dictionary, so I look at it and see that the radical is such and such and count its strokes...\"",

        "content_text": "## The Importance of Fortifying Singapore\n\nTo these countries may be added Australia, the trade with which is increasing; and, as the Torres Straits route becomes better known, the passing traffic will doubtless be much augmented.\n\nThe number of square-rigged vessels which arrived at the Port of Singapore in 1874, amounted to 1773, and comprised 1,104,277 tons, of which 1027 vessels, of 942,740 tons, were British. Of those 1773 vessels, 994 were steamers, and comprised 863,265 tons.\n\nThe value of the Imports for the year 1874 amounted to nearly £10,000,000 sterling, and the Exports to nearly £9,000,000 sterling.\n\nWhen first occupied by Sir Stamford Raffles, 57 years ago, the island was inhabited by a few hundred Malay fishermen only; but at the time of the last census in 1871 the population had risen to about 100,000.*\n\nThe British trade passing through the Straits of Malacca, and the large commercial interests in the British Settlements of the Straits, must be protected in case of war by the Navy.\n\nBut ships of war cannot now keep the sea for long without going into harbour to coal, refit, and obtain supplies. Vessels cruising in the Straits of Malacca, or lower part of the China Sea, must resort for these purposes to Singapore, there being no other Naval Station nearer than Hongkong and Trincomalee, distant respectively 1430 and 1490 miles.\n\nIn a memorandum dated the 7th January, 1875, (copy enclosed) when serving in the War Office, I stated reasons why it is of the utmost importance that those harbours in our foreign **possessions, which would, in time of war, be the bases of operations for the Navy, should be \"fortified more or less strongly, in proportion to their importance, and the character of the attack to which they are liable.\" In that memorandum, it was pointed out, that, unless the Naval Stations were thus fortified, our ships-of-war would either have to guard them, and thus leave our commerce at the mercy of the enemy, or else the harbours would be exposed to the attack of an enemy's cruizers which would destroy the coal not required for its own use and burn the naval establishments. Our ships, thus deprived of their coal supply, and of their means of repairing and refitting, would be unable to perform any duty or enterprise, so that by the capture of a coaling depôt an enemy might render powerless the whole of the vessels of war on the station.\n\nAs regards Singapore, although there is no great naval establishment there, the mercantile docks in the harbour are available for, and are made use of by, our ships of war, and it is essential, for naval purposes, that these should be efficiently protected.\n\n* There is much difficulty in obtaining an accurate census of the Chinese population. It is believed that the total number far exceeds that stated in text.\n\n### Necessity of the Coaling Station of Singapore being properly fortified\n\n### Strategical importance of Singapore\n\nThe capture and destruction of these establishments would be fatal, moreover, to imperial commercial interests. In the year 1871, 125,862 tons of coal were imported into Singapore, and the average quantity on hand is about 93,000 tons. Nearly a thousand steamers call at Singapore every year, the greater number of which require to take in a fresh supply of coal, before proceeding on their voyage. Not only, therefore, would these necessary supplies of coal be wanting, but, the Navy being rendered powerless to chase and capture the cruizers which any enemy, not necessarily an important maritime power, would be certain to put to sea, our mercantile marine in the adjacent waters would be much harassed, and might even be annihilated.\n\nIn addition to the consideration that Singapore is one of our chain of coaling stations, dividing the distance between those of Hongkong and Ceylon, it also occupies a most important strategic position with respect to the command of the waters of the Eastern Archipelago.\n\nAs previously mentioned, the whole of the trade through the Straits of Malacca passes by Singapore, and upon referring to the Chart Plan (1) it will be seen that the width of Singapore Straits, from the island of St. John's to the opposite islands belonging to the Dutch, viz: Little Sambo and Pulo Blakan Padang, varies from 6,000 to 7,000 yards. If a work, therefore, were constructed on St. John's and armed with sufficiently powerful artillery, it would, in conjunction with a suitable vessel of war, close the Straits of Malacca against any non-armoured vessels. An enemy's commercial traffic through the Straits of Malacca would thus be effectually stopped. Moreover, a squadron operating from Singapore could close the Straits of Sunda and an enemy's trade could thus be practically cut off from Eastern Asia.\n\nI submit that it is of the utmost importance that Singapore should be secured by permanent defences against such attack as might be made upon it by a hostile cruizer or small squadron of vessels. The harbour would thus be made a secure base of operations for the fleet, and the centre of the commercial operations of Great Britain in the Eastern Archipelago would be protected.\n\nOn the other hand, unprotected as Singapore is at present, and prominently situated as it is on the world's high road, it would most certainly attract the attention of an enemy, especially if that enemy be an important maritime power; for, by its occupation, the important trade which we now carry on with China and the Eastern Archipelago, would be practically paralyzed.\n\nPage 526",

        "content_text": "ce côté; les Annamites refusaient, en effet, de suspendre la construction d'un barrage qu'ils avaient commencé.\n\nCes faits se sont accomplis assurément sans la participation du Gouvernement métropolitain; ils ont été le résultat inévitable de la situation, ils ont été en quelque sorte plus forts que les hommes. Le commandant Rivière a eu une heureuse initiative en empêchant de couper les communications que, par une branche importante du fleuve, il avait avec la mer; mais ce coup de force, venant après celui d'Hanoi, crée une situation qui ne peut se prolonger. C'est pour la résoudre que le Gouvernement a déposé le projet de loi, qui vous est actuellement soumis.\n\nTel est, Messieurs, l'état actuel de la question brièvement esquissé.\n\nII.\n\nExposé historique.\n\nDans cette affaire comme dans toutes les autres, il y a des droits et des devoirs, qu'il est nécessaire de bien définir, pour en connaître l'importance et l'étendue. Lorsque les uns et les autres seront bien déterminés, lorsque nous nous serons rendu compte des moyens par lesquels nous devons arriver, le plus rapidement et dans les meilleurs conditions, à faire valoir les uns et à faire face aux autres, il sera facile d'apprécier le projet du Gouvernement. C'est à cette étude que s'est livrée votre commission.\n\nIl serait sans grand intérêt de rechercher l'origine des relations qui ont existé au siècle dernier entre la France et le Tonkin ou l'Annam. Il suffira de rappeler que dès cette époque notre pays joua en Indo-Chine un rôle très actif. De riches Chinois, les Tay-Soon, avaient levé contre le roi Gia-Long l'étendard de la révolte. Réfugié dans l'île de Phu-Quoc, qui seule lui resta fidèle, le roi détrôné fut soutenu par les conseils d'un évêque français, M. de Behaine, plus connu sous le nom d'évêque d'Adran. Le roi de France, Louis XVI, envoya, à la demande du prélat, un corps de troupe, qui fut retenu en grande partie par le gouverneur de l'Inde; mais le colonel du génie Ollivier et d'autres officiers, entre autres MM. Chaigneau et Vannier arrivèrent auprès de Gia-Long; grâce à eux, à l'instruction et à la discipline qu'ils surent introduire dans l'armée, grâce à leur supériorité sur les chefs rebelles, Gia-Long reconquit rapidement ses États et put même imposer sa suzeraineté au roi du Tonkin, dont les rois d'Annam avaient au contraire été jusque-là les vassaux. Un traité lia alors l'Annam à la France, mais les événements de la Révolution le firent perdre de vue, il resta toujours lettre morte; un établissement, fondé dans les environs de Nam-Dinh, fut même abandonné et il ne resta du souvenir de la France que l'image de son organisation administrative et de sa hiérarchie militaire, qui se sont maintenues jusqu'à aujourd'hui. On retrouve en effet dans ces pays la commune vigoureusement organisée, au-dessus d'elle le canton et la province, avec des fonctionnaires pour l'administration, la justice, les finances, etc., comme on retrouve dans l'armée le caporal et le sergent (le caï et le doi) et ainsi de suite jusqu'au lam-binh qui équivaut à notre général.\n\nVers 1859 les chrétiens du Tonkin demandèrent secours à la France et à l'Espagne contre les persécutions dont ils étaient victimes de la part du roi d'Annam. C'est une chose fort curieuse assurément que ces persécutions religieuses, car dans tous ces pays on professe et on pratique, en toute sincérité du reste, l'indifférence la plus réelle et la plus profonde en matière religieuse. Le Boudhisme n'existe guère que de nom et le seul culte est à vrai dire celui des ancêtres. Aussi les persécutions contre les missionnaires étaient dirigées contre eux bien plus parce qu'ils étaient Européens que parce qu'ils étaient chrétiens.\n\nCette époque coïncidait avec la guerre de Chine, aussi fîmes-nous sans grands sacrifices, et de concert avec les Espagnols...\n\n-7\nNo 1889\n214",

Ce n'a pas toujours été\n\nM. Georges Perin. Je crois qu'il vous sera très difficile d'établir que le grand mouvement d'affaires à Haï-Phong, est fait par les Français; je dirai même que nous aurons grand peine à y supplanter, par notre commerce, les Anglais qui y sont établis depuis longtemps.\n\nmême de la première expédition au Tonkin.\n\nkin a été une entreprise nefaste, et que nous en supportons aujourd'hui les conséquences.\n\nMême en supposant que nous puissions donc, messieurs, je viens aujourd'hui demander à la Chambre de réfléchir, et au Gouvernement de ne pas entrer dans cette voie unique de tous les produits d'échange dans l'extrême Orient, auxquelles je suis aussi sensible qu'il y ait abdication pour cet officier de grande valeur, ce grand voyageur, parce que je crois que, aujourd'hui encore, il ne faut pas aller plus loin que nous avons été, par le Gouvernement, par le ministre de la marine, qui permettait au Journal officiel de déclarer, alors que cet officier était mort glorieusement au service de la France, que la cause de nos difficultés était que M. Francis Garnier avait probablement outrepassé les ordres qui lui avaient été donnés.\n\nJe roove, en outre et c'est ici le second côté de ma discussion, que nous pouvons ne pas aller plus loin que nous avons été, par le Gouvernement, par le ministre de la marine, qui permettait au Journal officiel de déclarer, alors que cet officier était mort glorieusement au service de la France, que la cause de nos difficultés était que M. Francis Garnier avait probablement outrepassé les ordres qui lui avaient été donnés.\n\nPour moi, j'ai déjà eu occasion de rendre hommage à cet officier de grande valeur, ce grand voyageur; je l'ai fait à une époque où qui que ce soit, il y a un autre point de vue à considérer, celui de nos intérêts réels, qui seront toujours avantageux, ou seront même glorieux, matériels, de prospérité coloniale; c'est ce point que j'ai à m'expliquer et je ferai en quelques mots.\n\nL'opinion publique a été trompée et elle a été trompée sur cette question de la prise de possession du Tonkin, qu'on la présente comme une terre promise, où tout est au moins des doutes et des doutes très sérieux.\n\nMais laissons, si vous voulez, de côté cette question et venons-en aux faits.\n\nOn dit ensuite: il faut ouvrir des débouchés au commerce et fournir un aliment à notre marine marchande.\n\nD'un seul mot je montrerai que, là encore, il y a une illusion.\n\nOuvrir des débouchés au commerce! Mais le jour où nous serions complètement maîtres du Tonkin, croyez-vous que le commerce français saurait s'y créer des débouchés, et croyez-vous qu'il aurait fait le jour-là ce qu'il n'a pas su faire dans la Cochinchine, ce qu'il n'a pas su faire encore à Haï-Phong où nous sommes, où rien ne l'empêchait d'agir et de se créer des débouchés?\n\nM. Paul Bert, Lesquels ? Quel est votre système ?\n\nM. Georges Perin. Mon système, je l'ai déjà exposé il y a deux ans et malheureusement sans succès.\n\nMais les faits nouveaux qui se sont produits ont donné raison à ce que je disais, et c'est ce qui me fait un devoir de la répéter aujourd'hui, du moins en partie.\n\nJe ne viens pas vous proposer d'abandonner purement et simplement le Tonkin, ce qui pourtant - soit dit en passant - pourrait se faire sans mettre en péril notre colonie de la Basse-Cochinchine, sinon diminuer momentanément, je le veux bien, le prestige de la France dans l'extrême Orient.\n\nA une certaine époque, on a dit, dans la commission du budget et ailleurs, que, si nous nous retirions du Tonkin, nous serions à bref délai obligés d'abandonner la basse Cochinchine.\n\nA quoi l'amiral Jaureguiberry répondait, nos collègues de la commission doivent s'en souvenir et les procès-verbaux de la commission en font foi, l'amiral Jaureguiberry répondait que cela n'était pas soutenable, qu'il y a 250 lieues de distance entre la basse Cochinchine et le Tonkin et que l'abandon des quelques points que nous occupions au Tonkin ne modifierait en rien notre situation dans la basse Cochinchine.\n\nJe reconnais, messieurs, que, si nous nous retirions purement et simplement du Tonkin, notre prestige dans l'extrême Orient pourrait en être un peu amoindri, et ce n'est certes pas cela que je viens proposer à la Chambre.\n\nMais, avant de faire connaître le moyen terme qui, je le crois, serait de nature à sauvegarder tous les intérêts, je pense qu'il est nécessaire, vu la grande importance donnée par le rapport à ce côté de la question, je pense qu'il est nécessaire de montrer comment cette question est devenue aujourd'hui une de celles qui préoccupent le plus le pays.\n\nM. Paul Bert. On a été odieux pour lui et pour ses compagnons !\n\nM. Georges Perin. A cette époque, en 1873, j'ai protesté et j'ai dit: Il y a quelqu'un qui a outrepassé les ordres qu'il avait reçus, mais ce n'est pas l'homme qui est mort, qui a eu le tort de mourir; car, s'il eût été vivant, il aurait su se défendre, ce n'est pas Francis Garnier, c'est l'amiral Dupré.\n\nM. le rapporteur. Qui est mort aussi, M. Georges Perin !\n\nIl est mort, je le sais, mais je puis répéter ce que j'ai déjà dit quand il était en vie: L'amiral Dupré aurait dû passer en conseil de guerre, parce qu'il avait enfreint ouvertement les ordres de son chef, le ministre de la marine.\n\nJ'ai là le texte même de la dépêche qu'au mois de juillet 1873 M. le ministre de la marine envoyait à l'amiral Dupré et dans laquelle il lui disait: Sous aucun prétexte, pour quelque raison que ce soit, n'engagez pas la France au Tonkin.\n\nLe ministre d'alors faisait valoir des motifs sur lesquels je ne reviendrai pas; il suffit, pour les deviner, de se rappeler que, en 1873, on était bien près de 1870.\n\nL'amiral Dupré n'a pas tenu compte de cette dépêche; il a donné des ordres à M. Francis Garnier, qui, lui, devait les exécuter, et j'estime que ce n'est pas sur ce dernier qu'on aurait dû faire retomber la responsabilité des événements graves qui sont survenus et qui ont eu pour conséquence de nous faire abandonner le pays dans des conditions déplorables, je le reconnais, et cependant, pour mon compte, je ne reproche pas au gouvernement d'alors de ne pas être resté au Tonkin.\n\nEt que ceux de mes honorables collègues de l'Assemblée nationale qui aujourd'hui sont au banc ministériel me permettent de le leur dire: puisque dans leur exposé des motifs, ils paraissent faire même un crime au gouvernement d'alors de n'avoir pas été en avant, de n'avoir pas tout au moins maintenu notre occupation, ils auraient dû formuler leurs critiques autrefois, lorsque le traité de 1874 a été discuté.\n\nIl ne faut rien exagérer cependant.\n\nLorsque nous discutions dernièrement la question si grave des récidivistes, M. le ministre de l'intérieur disait avec raison que certains cahiers électrons réclamaient cette loi; mais je ne sache pas que, dans aucun cahier, sauf peut-être dans celui de M. Blancsubé, on trouve formulée cette demande de la solution de la question du Tonkin par la prise de possession ou par un protectorat effectif de ce pays.\n\nLeurs s'en soient préoccupés.\n\nMais je reconnais que, si les électeurs n'ont pas donné un mandat formel, à cet égard, à leurs commettants, il y a une opinion publique qui s'est formée, dont le Gouvernement peut avoir à cœur de tenir compte, et je ne me dissimule nullement que, si le Gouvernement acceptait ma solution, il aurait peut-être à remonter le courant de l'opinion publique; mais c'est un devoir pour lui, si l'opinion publique a été égarée.\n\nOr, selon moi, l'opinion publique a été égarée par deux raisons: d'abord, par une raison extrêmement louable et que je respecte, par une raison de sentiment, et ensuite par une raison d'intérêt mal compris.\n\nLa raison de sentiment, c'est l'histoire de Francis Garnier.\n\nCeci dit pour la partie historique, je crois que ce nom de Francis Garnier, qui apparaît entouré d'une auréole de gloire et de dévouement à son pays, les journaux s'en sont servis, comme ils avaient le droit de le faire, pour entraîner l'opinion publique; mais nous devons examiner les choses plus froidement, et après avoir rendu hommage à ce citoyen, à cet officier de très grand mérite, nous n'en devons pas moins examiner impartialement la ligne politique qu'il a suivie dans l'extrême Orient.\n\nM. le rapporteur. C'est une erreur; il est vrai que cela n'a pas toujours été une erreur.\n\nM. Georges Perin. M. le rapporteur me coupe la parole, mais je continue.\n\nOn ne parle plus aujourd'hui, dans l'exposé des motifs et dans le rapport de M. Blancsubé, du fleuve Rouge et des grands avantages pécuniaires que nous en pouvons retirer.\n\nEt cela est si vrai que les gens sérieux disent: Le jour où nous serons maîtres du Tonkin, nous suppléerons à l'insuffisance du fleuve par un chemin de fer.\n\nle président. Vous répondrez, mon rapporteur, mais n'interrompez pas.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Cette considération est laissée un peu de côté, et avec raison: c'est que ce fleuve est peu navigable.\n\nVous savez qu'à cet égard les renseignements les plus positifs, les plus authentiques ont été fournis par M. Tardieu, dans un rapport que le Gouvernement a bien voulu me communiquer, et qui dit à cet égard:\n\nSi on recherche dans quelles proportions les divers pavillons ont pris part au mouvement maritime, on trouve que le pavillon anglais couvre 35 p. 100 du tonnage total; le pavillon américain 20 p. 100; le pavillon chinois 23,5 p. 100, par ses vapeurs seulement, sans compter les jonques; le pavillon allemand 11 p. 100; le pavillon hollandais, 5,5 p. 100; le pavillon français 5 p. 100.\n\nDans la saison des hautes eaux, des courants de foudre; à l'époque de l'étiage, des bas-fonds et des rapides; en tout temps le manque de sécurité, au milieu de ces forêts habitées par des peuplades à demi-indépendantes; et enfin les avanies que les fonctionnaires annamites, ou les bandes d'aventuriers à la solde du gouvernement, font subir au commerce.\n\nLa navigation française tient, jusqu'à présent, une trop faible place; encore ne l'occupe-t-elle que grâce aux voyages du vapeur subventionné par l'administration de la Cochinchine française.\n\nVoulez-vous me permettre de vous donner l'avis de M. Tardieu, qui a été et qui est encore, je crois, un fonctionnaire du Gouvernement, et qui a été chef d'affaires à Hai-Phong ?\n\nM. le rapporteur. Il a été mis à la retraite !\n\nM. Georges Perin. En tout cas, il a été consul à Haï-Phong.\n\nM. Tardieu, dans un rapport que le Gouvernement a bien voulu me communiquer, dit à cet égard:\n\nLa navigation française tient, jusqu'à présent, une trop faible place; encore ne l'occupe-t-elle que grâce aux voyages du vapeur subventionné par l'administration de la Cochinchine française.\n\nEt alors il envisage le manque de sécurité résultant des Pavillons noirs.\n\nJe reconnais que l'honorable collègue M. Blancsubé, qui a une grande autorité dans cette question, me dit que c'est une erreur.\n\nPour moi, je trouve que M. Francis Garnier s'est trompé, que l'entreprise du Tonkin a été une erreur.\n\nSingapore, et qui sont actuellement en possession du commerce - brali possidentes, c'est vous - vous ne les débusquerez pas de cette situation, sans établir un régime de protection, ce que, du reste, vous ne voulez ou ne pouvez pas faire.\n\nJe crois donc que vous ne créerez pas de débouchés à notre commerce, je crois que vous ne fournirez pas un aliment à notre marine marchande.\n\nJ'arrive à la question des mines.\n\nTout à l'heure, M. le ministre des affaires étrangères vous a montré à quel point le Gouvernement se préoccupait de cette question, puisqu'il a dit qu'un des motifs pour lesquels il n'avait pas voulu accepter le traité de M. Bourée, c'est qu'il cédait à la Chine la partie du Tonkin la plus riche peut-être en mines.\n\nJe parle des mines de charbon, car dans une carte qui nous a été donnée tout à l'heure et que tous mes collègues ont entre les mains, des mines considérables, des mines argentifères, aurifères sont indiquées dans une autre partie du pays.\n\nJe dois reconnaître que le Tonkin est un des pays miniers les plus riches du monde.\n\nJe vois sur un point de cette carte: Mines d'or et d'argent; sur un autre point encore, mines d'or, mines d'argent.\n\nEt enfin, messieurs, notez ceci : grosses pépites d'or.\n\nM. le comte de Douville-Maillefen. Dans une région inexplorée ! (On rit.)\n\nM. Georges Perin. Grosses pépites d'or ! Ceci rappelle tout à fait l'Eldorado de Voltaire, où il n'y avait qu'à se baisser pour ramasser des cailloux qui étaient des diamants et de la terre qui était de l'or.\n\nVoilà donc un pays extrêmement riche en mines, et je comprends qu'on veuille les exploiter.\n\nA cet égard, je voudrais faire une seule observation.\n\nOn a regretté, - le Gouvernement a pu le voir et le lire dans divers journaux, que des promesses de concessions aient déjà été faites.\n\nM. Jules Ferry, président du conseil. Quelles promesses ? Qui a fait des promesses ?\n\nM. Georges Perin. Je dis que ce bruit a couru...\n\nM. le président du conseil. On a dit une chose qui n'est pas exacte; cela arrive souvent du reste.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Je suis heureux, et c'est un peu pour cela que j'ai soulevé la question, de vous avoir fourni, monsieur le président du conseil, l'occasion de déclarer qu'on n'avait fait aucune promesse de cette nature.\n\nJe souhaite qu'on indemnise M. Dupuis qui, probablement, a droit à une indemnité.\n\nUn membre au centre. La Chambre l'a jugé.\n\nM. Georges Perin. Mais j'ai regretté que, ce jour-là, une parole semblable ait été prononcée à la tribune.\n\nJe crois qu'il ne doit pas y avoir de promesses faites à l'avance.\n\nSi nous prenons le Tonkin, où l'on trouve des pépites d'or à fleur de terre, je voudrais qu'il fût entendu que vous ne donnerez la concession des mines que par une loi.\n\nJe sais que vous avez le droit de le faire par un décret, mais pourquoi ne pas faire aux colonies ce qui se fait en France.\n\nEn ne faisant la concession que par une loi, la question se trouverait discutée devant la Chambre, et ainsi aucune accusation malveillante ne pourra se produire.\n\nDoit-on prendre un pays parce qu'il renferme des richesses minières ? (Sourires. Très bien ! très bien !)\n\nVous avez des mines en maints endroits, dans des pays dont vous êtes possesseurs.\n\nJe ne parlerai pas de la Guyane, où les mines sont inexploitées; mais dans l'extrême Orient, au Cambodge, il existe des mines extrêmement riches.\n\nSur cette carte, on aurait pu indiquer les mines d'or du Cambodge: on pourrait les exploiter.\n\nEn prenant le Tonkin uniquement pour ses mines, vous vous engageriez dans une aventure dont les avantages ne compenseraient pas les inconvénients.\n\nMais enfin, messieurs, on dit qu'il n'y a pas d'hésitation possible, et on veut rassurer la Chambre qui, avec raison, se préoccupe des finances de la France, sur l'importance des dépenses.\n\nLe Gouvernement le comprend; il nous demande de débourser 5 millions seulement, et il ajoute aussitôt : Le pays où nous voulons aller pourra largement compenser les dépenses que nous aurons à faire.\n\nLe Tonkin fournit 18 millions d'impôts que l'on pourrait sans trop faire crier le contribuable, porter à 30 millions.\n\nM. le rapporteur a été plus loin; il a parlé de 80 à 100 millions.\n\nPrenons le chiffre de 30 millions, c'est celui, je crois, que M. le ministre de la marine a donné à la commission du budget.\n\nEt l'on dit: Ces 30 millions suffiront à toutes les dépenses: 10 millions pour l'expédition proprement dite, 5 millions pour les menues frais; on donnera 5 ou 10 millions au pauvre Tu-Duc qui, ainsi, ne sera pas trop pauvre.\n\nA ce prix, dit-on, nous posséderons le pays.\n\nEh bien, franchement, quand on nous propose d'aller nous établir dans un pays et qu'on nous dit, en mettant tout au mieux, que ce pays payera tous les frais de la guerre, on nous demande tout simplement de mettre la population tonkinoise en régie.\n\nVoilà, je crois, comment les choses doivent s'appeler.\n\nJe crois, moi, que nous avons mieux à faire.\n\nJ'estime que nous devons développer par d'autres moyens notre prospérité coloniale et je voudrais l'asseoir sur une autre base.\n\nQuelques membres. Laquelle ? Quel est votre système ?\n\nM. Georges Perin. On me dit : Quel est votre système ? Je vais vous le dire dans un instant.\n\nAujourd'hui la question est posée nettement.\n\nIl n'est plus permis de croire qu'on s'établira au Tonkin avec une compagnie, comme cela a été dit.\n\nSi nous prenons le Tonkin, l'honorable M. Blancsubé pourra réclamer une grande part de gloire.\n\nIl est de ceux qui ont le plus poussé le pays vers cette entreprise, et qui ont le plus contribué à y entraîner l'opinion publique.\n\nVoici ce qu'il a dit le 30 mars 1881, devant la société académique Indo-Chinoise.\n\n(M. Blancsubé fait un signe de dénégation.)\n\nC'est dans le Bulletin de la société académique Indo-Chinoise que je trouve la complète reconstitution de cette conférence.\n\nSi ce n'est pas à cette société que vous l'avez faite, c'est peut-être au boulevard des Capucines.\n\nM. le rapporteur. A quelle époque ?\n\nM. Georges Perin. Le 30 mars 1881.\n\nVoici ce que vous avez dit :\n\n260\n\n14 Mai\n\n(CHAMBRE)\n\n941",

The Quarantine Flag shall be a flag of yellow colour (letter Q in International Code of Signals) hoisted at the highest mast-head forward.\n\nNo such vessel shall enter the waters of the Colony before 6 am, or after 7 P.M.\n\n## Quarantine Ground and Procedures\n\n4. Every vessel in quarantine shall proceed to the Quarantine Ground, and shall not remove therefrom, except from stress of weather, until released from quarantine by order of the Health Officer. No vessel having to leave the Quarantine Ground from stress of weather shall communicate with the shore, or with any ship, and such vessel shall return to the Quarantine Ground immediately such stress of weather has subsided. Provided that in case of stress of weather involving probable actual danger to the vessel, the vessel may remove for a time, but shall be deemed nevertheless for all purposes to be in quarantine, and subject to all other regulations applicable to such vessels.\n\n5. The Quarantine Ground shall be within the following boundaries, and the Master of every vessel shall remove his vessel to any part of the Quarantine Ground as and when required by the Harbour Master:\n| Boundary | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Western Boundary | A line drawn from the West side of Stone Cutters' Island to West side of Green Island (on Admiralty Chart marked as Harbour boundary). |\n| Southern Boundary | That part of a line having the Naval Coal Sheds at Kaulung bearing E. by S., commencing where it meets the Eastern Boundary, and terminating where it meets the Western boundary. |\n| Eastern Boundary | A South line drawn from a white mark on South side of Stone Cutters Island until it reaches the Southern boundary. |\n| Northern Boundary | Five fathom line of soundings. |\n\nThe place hereafter described is hereby set apart to be a Quarantine Station, namely: That part of the West end of Stone Cutters' Island which lies West of a line to be determined by the Health Officer, and to be indicated by a line of Yellow Flags to be fixed by the Health Officer from shore to shore.\n\n## Duties of Vessel Masters and Health Officer\n\n6. The master or other person having the control of any vessel in quarantine shall give the Health Officer or Boarding Officer such information about the vessel and the voyage and the health of the crew and passengers and otherwise as the Health Officer or Boarding Officer may require, and shall answer truly and fully all questions put to him by the Health Officer or Boarding Officer.\n\n7. The Health Officer may order the removal of such persons as he thinks fit from any vessel in quarantine to the Quarantine Station, and the master of any vessel from which such persons are ordered to be removed shall conduct their removal according to the orders of the Health Officer.\n\n8. No vessel in quarantine shall be released from quarantine except by the express written order of the Health Officer, nor until such precautions, by way of burning clothing or fumigating or otherwise, as may be ordered by the Health Officer, have been carried out. If the vessel arrives from a port or place where any infectious or contagious disease prevailed at the time of its departure, or if there has been any case of any such disease on board the vessel, or any death therefrom, the vessel shall not be released from quarantine until 5 clear days have elapsed since the date of the vessel's departure from such port or place, or since any person was suffering from or died from any such disease on board such vessel, as the case may be.\n\n9. Any vessel having had, during the course of her voyage, any case of any infectious or contagious disease on board, shall be placed in quarantine immediately on entering the waters of the Colony and she will not be released therefrom until fumigated and disinfected to the satisfaction of the Health Officer.\n\n10. If any vessel in the waters of this Colony is known to have any case of contagious disease on board, or is a vessel which in the opinion of the Health Officer ought according to these regulations to be in quarantine, the Health Officer may order such vessel into quarantine, and the master or person in charge of such vessel shall thereupon hoist the Quarantine Flag upon such vessel and remove the vessel to the Quarantine Ground, and all the regulations applicable in relation to vessels in quarantine shall apply to such vessel.\n\n## Handling Deaths and Restrictions\n\n11. In case of a death happening on board any vessel in quarantine, or ordered into quarantine, or in a Quarantine Station, the body shall be disposed of in such manner as may be ordered by the Health Officer; and the Master of the vessel shall carry out such orders as the Health Officer may give him in relation to the disposal of the body.\n\n12. When any quarantined vessel is in the waters of the Colony, no person shall leave the vessel or hold communication from the vessel with the shore, or with any other vessel or boat, or take or send any person or thing whatever out of the vessel, until the express written permission of the Health Office has been communicated to the master or other person having the control of the vessel, and such precautions as the Health Officer may require have been observed.\n\n13. When any vessel is in quarantine, no person other than the Health Officer or persons in his charge shall approach within 30 yards of such vessel, or hold any communication with any person on board of it, or receive or take any person or thing whatever directly or indirectly from the vessel or from any person on board of it, without having first received the express written permission of the Health Officer, and observing such precautions as the Health Officer may require.\n\n14. No person placed in the Quarantine Station shall leave the same, or hold communication with any vessel or boat, or take or send any person or thing whatever out of the Quarantine Station, without having first received the express written permission of the Health Officer, and observing such precautions as the Health Officer may require.\n\n15. No person other than the Health Officer, or persons expressly deputed by him, shall enter the Quarantine Station or approach within 30 yards of the boundaries thereof, or hold communication with the Quarantine Station, or with any person in it, or receive or take anything whatever directly or indirectly from the Station, or from any person in it without having first received the express written permission of the Health Officer, and observing such precautions as the Health Officer may require.\n\n## Enforcement\n\n16. The Captain Superintendent of Police, and any officers that he may appoint for the purpose of enforcing quarantine, may order any person leaving or coming from any vessel that is in quarantine or from a Quarantine Station, or taking or sending any person or thing whatever from any such vessel or Quarantine Station to remain in or return to, and to return such persons or things to such vessel or Quarantine Station, and may by such necessary force as the case requires compel any person neglecting or refusing to observe such order to obey the same.\n\n## Exceptions and Penalties\n\n17. The above regulations shall not in any way interfere with the internal management of any of Her Majesty's Ships, or of Foreign Ships of War, or with their freedom to proceed to sea whenever the Officer in command may deem such course requisite.\n\n18. Where any breach of any of the above regulations is committed, all the persons assisting in any way in the commission of such breach and the master or other person having the control of any vessel or boat on board of which such breach has been committed, or which has been in any way engaged in the commission of such breach shall be severally answerable for such breach, and shall be deemed guilty of the same.\n\nCouncil Chamber, Hongkong, 23rd June, 1885.\n\n**ARATHOON SETH**\nClerk of Councils",

M. le Roi du Cambodge sur une liste présentée par le gouverneur de la Cochinchine.\n\nArt. 11.\n\nLa présente convention dont, en cas de contestations et conformément aux usages diplomatiques, le texte français seul fera foi, confirme et complète le traité du 11 août 1863, les ordonnances royales et les conventions passées entre les deux gouvernements, en ce qu'ils n'ont pas de contraire aux dispositions qui précèdent.\n\nElle sera soumise à la ratification du Gouvernement de la République française, et l'instrument de ladite ratification sera remis à S. M. le Roi du Cambodge dans un délai aussi bref que possible.\n\nEn foi de quoi, S. M. le Roi du Cambodge et le Gouverneur de la Cochinchine ont signé le présent acte et y ont apposé leurs sceaux.\n\nFait à Phnom Penh, le dix-sept juin mil huit cent quatre-vingt-quatre.\n\nLe 17 juin, à cinq heures du matin, le lieutenant-colonel Miramond débarquait en face du palais et prenait position autour de la résidence royale avec une compagnie d'infanterie de marine et une compagnie de tirailleurs annamites. L'Alouette et trois canonnières qui avaient transporté ces troupes de Saigon mouillaient à petite distance.\n\nM. le gouverneur Thomson se présentait à six heures au palais accompagné de son chef de cabinet, du résident intérimaire, de deux aides de camp, du lieutenant de vaisseau commandant l'aviso l'Alouette, de deux officiers de ce bâtiment, et de M. Pavie, faisant fonctions d'interprète. Aucune résistance ne fut opposée, et il est absolument inexact que les troupes, comme on l'a prétendu dans certaines relations, aient dû envahir l'intérieur du palais. À la porte de la troisième enceinte, M. Thomson trouva le chef des gardiens du palais. Il demanda à être introduit auprès du roi. Un quart d'heure après, il fut reçu dans l'une des pièces de ses appartements particuliers. Le roi Norodom était étendu sur un lit de repos.\n\nLe gouverneur fit en peu de mots l'histoire des treize \n\n## \n33 \n\nN° 3482 \n\njours qui s'étaient écoulés depuis son arrivée à Phnom Penh; il insista sur le caractère blessant pour la puissance protectrice à qui Norodom devait la conservation de son trône du refus de discuter la Convention douanière, et de l'obstination à refuser une audience au représentant suprême du Protectorat; il fit ressortir l'esprit de conciliation et la longanimité dont il avait fait preuve, et il conclut en ces termes :\n\n« Le Gouvernement de la République française n'a jamais permis qu'il fût porté atteinte à sa dignité. L'injure, qui lui a été faite par le refus de discuter ses propositions et d'entendre sa réponse, est grave : je viens aujourd'hui, après avoir attendu quatre jours encore, en demander réparation.\n\n« J'exige donc des excuses et la signature d'une nouvelle convention qui, réalisant les réformes reconnues nécessaires dans l'intérêt du peuple cambodgien, démontrera à tous que la France, dont l'action protectrice, comme je l'ai déjà dit à Votre Majesté, s'étend moins sur la personne du roi que sur le royaume du Cambodge, comprend toute l'étendue des devoirs que lui impose le traité du 11 août 1863. »\n\nIl fit alors donner lecture du texte de la convention nouvelle.\n\nLe roi, qui s'était évidemment flatté jusqu'alors de nous lasser par sa résistance passive, qui se souvenait avoir tout obtenu de nous sans que nous eussions jamais exigé rien de sérieux de lui, eut peine à dissimuler sa surprise et son abattement. Il discuta encore et s'efforça d'atermoyer. Les ministres, introduits sur ces entrefaites, entendirent les explications de M. le Gouverneur, et il fut manifeste que la crainte seule des rancunes de Norodom les empêchait de se prononcer explicitement dans le sens de la résignation aux légitimes exigences du représentant de la France.\n\nLe roi ne s'y trompa pas, et il offrit de signer sur le champ la convention douanière.\n\nLe Gouverneur lui fit observer qu'il était trop tard, que",

Les différences qui existent entre le taux de la piastre de Ninh Binh et celui d'Hanoi et d'Haïphong font que ces prix sont intérieurement à ceux de ces deux places. Les nombreux achats de boeufs faits dans le courant de ce mois ont élevé leur prix au Thanh Hoa et l'ont porté de 50 ligatures à 65 et 70 ligatures.\n\nL'industrie dans la province est fort peu développée, on ne peut guère signaler que dans le Phu Nho une fabrique de fers forgés, nécessaires à l'agriculture, et de lances. Les Muongs fabriquent eux-mêmes dans les montagnes des fusils à mèche de forme spéciale, mais en bien petit nombre et ne pouvant faire l'objet d'un commerce. Il en est de même de leurs soies (Pha Lao), peut-être d'une qualité supérieure à celle des Annamites et qu'ils ne semblent vouloir produire que pour les besoins de leur consommation.\n\nLe commerce du riz, le plus important de la province, se fait un peu à Ninh-Binh, mais surtout à Phat-Diem et à l'embouchure du Day. Ce dernier point me paraît appelé un jour à être l'un des points les plus importants du commerce au Tonkin et peut-être le grand port de l'avenir. Les jonques de mer si nombreuses qui font le cabotage entre toutes les côtes de l'Annam et le Tonkin, pénètrent dans les provinces du Delta où elles vont échanger leur sel et leur saumure contre le riz qui leur manque, par l'embouchure du Day où les agents des grands centres de commerce viennent acheter leur cargaison. D'un autre côté, c'est par cette voie seulement que pendant une partie de l'année les fortes canonnières peuvent remonter à Hanoi. Un chenal creusé facilement dans la barre du fleuve le rendrait accessible aux navires à vapeur de fort tonnage et offrirait au commerce de tout le Delta des avantages incontestables que ne saurait leur offrir l'embouchure du Cua-Cam.\n\nUn moment interrompus, par suite d'une baisse considérable survenue sur le marché de Hong Kong, les achats de riz ont repris depuis quelques jours dans la province.\n\nPar suite de ces achats, les riz, dont les prix courants étaient de 7 à 8 ligatures, se vendent 9 ligatures le picul.\n\nPendant cette saison, les transactions sur les cotons sont à peu près nulles. Les grandes exportations qui se font couramment en Chine de coton d'Hainan sont ralenties en ce moment.\n\nLes bois de construction venant du Thanh-Toa sont toujours l'objet d'un grand commerce sur le marché de Phat-Diem.\n\n## AVIS & COMMUNICATIONS \n\n### Ministère de l'instruction publique, des beaux-arts et des cultes\n\n#### Académie de Paris.

Aux États-Unis, notamment, de nombreux imprimés provenant de France tombent en rebut pour ce seul motif.\n\nIl est donc recommandé, dans leur propre intérêt, aux expéditeurs et plus particulièrement aux éditeurs de publications périodiques, de revêtir les journaux et imprimés à destination des pays d'outre-mer, de bandes larges et assez consistantes pour résister au frottement qui se produit dans le trajet. Les paquets pesants et volumineux doivent, en outre, être consolidés au moyen de ficelles disposées de manière à être facilement dénouées.\n\nEnfin, la reproduction, sur l'exemplaire même, de l'adresse que porte la bande ou enveloppe extérieure, peut être considérée comme une précaution utile.\n\n## SÉNAT \n\n**Séance ordinaire 1888**\n\nMM. les sénateurs sont informés que les obsèques de M.

Provided that in case of stress of weather involving probable actual danger to the vessel, the vessel may remove for a time, but shall be deemed nevertheless for all purposes to be in quarantine, and subject to all other regulations applicable to such vessels.\n\n## Regulation 5\nThe Quarantine Ground shall be within the following boundaries, and the Master of every vessel shall remove his vessel to any part of the Quarantine Ground as and when required by the Harbour Master:\n\n| Boundary | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Western Boundary | A line drawn from the West side of Stone Cutters Island to West side of Green Island (on Admiralty Chart marked as Harbour boundary). |\n| Southern Boundary | That part of a line having the Naval Coal Sheds at Kaulung bearing E. by S., commencing where it meets the Eastern Boundary, and terminating where it meets the Western boundary. |\n| Eastern Boundary | A South line drawn from a white mark on South side of Stone Cutters Island until it reaches the Southern boundary. |\n| Northern Boundary | Five fathom line of soundings. |\n\nThe place hereafter described, as follows, is hereby set apart to be a Quarantine Station, namely:\nThat part of the West end of Stone Cutters Island which lies West of a line to be determined by the Health Officer, and to be indicated by a line of Yellow Flags to be fixed by the Health Officer from shore to shore.\n\n## Regulation 6\nThe master or other person having the control of any vessel in quarantine shall give the Health Officer or Boarding Officer such information about the vessel and the voyage and the health of the crew and passengers and otherwise as the Health Officer or Boarding Officer may require, and shall answer truly and fully all questions put to him by the Health Officer or Boarding Officer.\n\n## Regulation 7\nThe Health Officer may order the removal of such persons as he thinks fit from any vessel in quarantine to the Quarantine Station, and the master of any vessel from which such persons are ordered to be removed shall conduct their removal according to the orders of the Health Officer.\n\n## Regulation 8\nNo vessel in quarantine shall be released from quarantine except by the express written order of the Health Officer, for until such precautions, by way of burning clothing or fumigating or otherwise, as may be ordered by the Health Officer, have been carried out.\n\nIf the vessel arrives from a port or place where any infectious or contagious disease prevailed at the time of its departure, or if there has been any case of any such disease on board the vessel, or any death therefrom, the vessel shall not be released from quarantine until 5 clear days have elapsed since the date of the vessel's departure from such port or place, or since any person was suffering from or died from any such disease on board such vessel, as the case may be.\n\n## Regulation 9\nAny vessel having had, during the course of her voyage, any case of any infectious or contagious disease on board, shall be placed in quarantine immediately on entering the waters of the Colony, and she will not be released therefrom until fumigated and disinfected to the satisfaction of the Health Officer.\n\n## Regulation 10\nIf any vessel in the waters of this Colony is known to have any case of any infectious or contagious disease on board, or is a vessel which in the opinion of the Health Officer ought according to these regulations to be in quarantine, the Health Officer may order such vessel into quarantine, and the master or person in charge of such vessel shall thereupon hoist the Quarantine Flag upon such vessel and remove the vessel to the Quarantine Ground, and all the regulations applicable in relation to vessels in quarantine shall apply to such vessel.\n\n## Regulation 11\nIn case of a death happening on board any vessel in quarantine, or ordered into quarantine, or in a Quarantine Station, the body shall be disposed of in such manner as may be ordered by the Health Officer; and the Master of the vessel shall carry out such orders as the Health Officer may give him in relation to the disposal of the body.\n\n## Regulation 12\nWhen any quarantined vessel is in the waters of the Colony, no person shall leave the vessel or hold communication from the vessel with the shore, or with any other vessel or boat, or take or send any person or thing whatever out of the vessel, until the express written permission of the Health Officer has been communicated to the master or other person having the control of the vessel, and such precautions as the Health Officer may require have been observed.\n\n## Regulation 13\nWhen any vessel is in quarantine, no person other than the Health Officer or persons in his boat shall approach within 30 yards of such vessel, or hold any communication with such vessel, or with any person on board of it, or receive or take any person or thing whatever directly or indirectly from the vessel or from any person on board of it, without having first received the express written permission of the Health Officer, and observing such precautions as the Health Officer may require.\n\n## Regulation 14\nNo person placed in the Quarantine Station shall leave the same, or hold communication with any vessel or boat, or take or send any person or thing whatever out of the Quarantine Station, without having first received the express written permission of the Health Officer, and observing such precautions as the Health Officer may require.\n\n## Regulation 15\nNo person other than the Health Officer, or persons expressly deputed by him, shall enter the Quarantine Station or approach within 30 yards of the boundaries thereof, or hold communication with the Quarantine Station, or with any person in it, or receive or take anything whatever directly or indirectly from the Station, or from any person in it without having first received the express written permission of the Health Officer, and observing such precautions as the Health Officer may require.\n\n## Regulation 16\nThe Captain Superintendent of Police, and any officers that he may appoint for the purpose of enforcing quarantine, may order any person leaving or coming from any vessel that is in quarantine or from a Quarantine Station, or taking or sending any person or thing whatever from any such vessel or Quarantine Station to remain in or return to, and to return such persons or things to such vessel or Quarantine Station, and may by such necessary force as the case requires compel any person neglecting or refusing to observe such order to obey the same.\n\n## Regulation 17\nThe above regulations shall not in any way interfere with the internal management of any of Her Majesty's Ships, or of Foreign Ships of War, or with their freedom to proceed to sea whenever the Officer in command may deem such course requisite.\n\n## Regulation 18\nWhere any breach of any of the above regulations is committed, all the persons assisting in any way in the commission of such breach and the master or other person having the control of any vessel or boat on board of which such breach has been committed, or which has been in any way engaged in the commission of such breach shall be severally answerable for such breach, and shall be deemed guilty of the same.\n\nCouncil Chamber, Hongkong, 23rd June, 1885.\n\n**ARATHOON SETH**, Clerk of Councils.",

The landing here is difficult, but the island being larger the difficulties would probably not be as great as at Gap Rock, and the cost of building a lighthouse should be so much less.\n\nA light on this island would be little inferior in point of position to one on Gap Rock, as the channel between these islands is deep and clear of any danger (see footnote). In fact, a ship could, so far as draught of water is concerned, lie alongside either island.\n\nA light on this island would probably be obscured between N.Er. and Es. from the Lighthouse.\n\nThe next island offering itself as a site is Reef Island, and seems to be the only one where a landing can be effected at all seasons. It is about 120 feet high, but has a dangerous reef lying off its southern end.\n\nA light on this island would probably be obscured from N. 11½ E. to N.W. ¾ W., but as the proposed light is intended more for the benefit of ships coming from the south, this would not matter. The light, however, might be useful to show adjacent islands.\n\nReef Island lies East 1½ miles from Tap Rock with, excepting the before-mentioned reef, a clear channel between them (see footnote).\n\nA light on Gap Rock would complete the lighthouse requirements of this Colony. The cost could be raised by loan and a few years' slight increase to the present dues would pay it off.\n\nNote: Inverray's Chart shows a rock...\n\nPage 1\n\n...\n\n \nThe response is reformatted according to the rules, with the following key actions:\n1. Reorganized the text into proper paragraphs.\n2. Corrected spelling errors (e.g., \"ou awa\" to \"our awareness\", \"de\" to \"the\", \"draught\" was kept as it is a valid word, \"baufit\" to \"benefit\", \"DOLA\" removed as it seems out of context, \"ece\" to \"see\").\n3. Fixed spacing issues and hyphenation artifacts.\n4. No rephrasing or rewriting of the original text.\n5. No translation of the text.\n6.

        "content_text": "302\n\n296\n\nTHE SANITARY RECORD.\n\n(F) Power of Entry\nUnder sect. 102, Public Health Act, 1875, the local authority or any of its officers have power of entry to any premises to examine for nuisances, enforcing the smoke prevention provisions, or examine as to recurring nuisances.\n\nTo enter upon land (sect. 105, Public Health Act, 1875) for the purposes of making plans, surveying, measuring, levelling, keeping in repair or examining works, ascertain the course of sewers or drains, or ascertaining or fixing boundaries and many other purposes.\n\nQuestion 3.\nWhat are the chief principles to be observed in the sewerage of a town or district, and how would you proceed to determine the size and capacity of the outfall sewer? What size of sewer would you propose for a town of 25,000 population where the gradient is 1 in 300? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Geographical configuration, annual average rainfall, number of present population and prospective increase, taking the last census as a basis. Whether a full water-closet town, or if to be sewered on the separate system: the nature of the outfall with a view to gravitation or mechanical lifting, and other minor causes.\n\nThe size of the outfall sewer, in my opinion, should be not less than 3 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 6 inches, discharging 185 cubic feet per minute, thus allowing the sewage at 30 cubic feet per head per day to be discharged in eight hours. On the separate system this capacity for a full water closet town, and to allow for heavy rainfalls, say 3 feet by 4 feet 6 inches, if rain or surface waters is to be included, discharging 267 cubic feet per minute, with the inclination given of 1 in 300.\n\nQuestion 4\nWrite a specification for laying stoneware pipe sewers.\n\nAnswer: Being the specification for a pipe sewer, I assume that any local surveyor would be equal to this, and as it would take up a very considerable space in the SANITARY RECORD, without a corresponding benefit to surveyors generally, I omit to take up the space, the general features of such a specification being that the pipes shall be straight, sound, and true to bore, well and truly laid, and jointed in a perfectly water-tight manner; the earth excavated at the collars so that the body of the pipe may have a true bearing along its whole length. If in faulty ground concreted all around and on top to exclude uneven pressure; if on good ground, then the earth put in 6-inch layers, well rammed in around and above to avoid sinkage. All laid in straight lines from manhole to manhole, with provision for ventilation and lighting, so that a lamp inserted at a lamphole may be seen and show a light to an adjacent manhole, thus at once showing where any stoppage existed.\n\nQuestion 5.\nSupposing a sewer to have a gradient of 1 in 300, how much would the velocity and discharge be increased by altering the gradient to 1 in 60?\n\nAnswers: 1 in 300 = 4/57*32) = 7*92 increase of discharge per second. 1 in 60 = /1000 = 10*00) = 17*32 (1.732 increase of velocity per second.\n\n1005\n\n7320\n\n2000\n\n3200\n\n3000\n\n2000\n\n22000\n\nQuestion 6.\nGive a description of the process termed intermittent downward filtration. State what area of land you would require with a gravelly soil for applying this method of purifying sewage to a town with a population of 20,000 inhabitants; and state the arrangements you would adopt for dealing with the rain water falling on the roofs, yards, and streets.\n\nAnswer: Intermittent downward filtration may be termed a natural system of purification of sewage by means of the filtering and aërating action of the soil: it is carried on by discharging (with or without previous precipitation) upon a properly prepared area, the sewage of the town under drainage. This sewage is conducted upon the prepared area by a series of carriers, and then allowed to filter through the land into drains laid about 6 feet under ground, from whence it (as an effluent) is conducted to its outfall, mostly a river. The action upon the sewage is threefold—viz., evaporation, aëration, and filtration, and if properly conducted should give an effluent of a very high standard.\n\nAs to the amount of land requisite for the purification of the sewage of a town of 20,000 population, authorities differ, but taking the daily amount of sewage per head at 30 gallons, and the average of five persons to each house equal to 150 gallons per house per day, then the fact that this quantity must be got rid of in about eight hours, it would not be safe to reckon less than 1,000 gallons per house. Then taking 4,000 houses, there would be 4,000,000 gallons of sewage to deal with, which could be successfully treated on 5 acres of such land; but it would, of course, require that a very far larger amount should be provided, as no land could be expected to be constantly under treatment, and the least amount should be five times this quantity, so as to have only one-fifth under treatment.\n\nGreat diversity of opinion exists upon this subject, and no very hard and fast line can be drawn. Each case must rest upon individual merits and local circumstances.\n\nWith regard to dealing with rain-water from roofs, most of it should undoubtedly be stored for domestic use, as it is far too valuable to be uselessly wasted. Drainage from yards and roads should be conducted in separate channels (from the sewer proper) to a natural outfall: although often in storms the washings from roads may be nearly as bad as sewage; but, on the other hand, if the surface-water were admitted, the sewers would have to be greatly increased in size to provide for excessive rainfall.\n\nQuestion 7.\nDescribe and illustrate by sketches the essential points to be observed in carrying out a system of house drainage, and the best means of providing urinal and closet accommodation for schools, workhouses, and similar institutions.\n\nQuestion 8.\nIn arranging the water supply for a manufacturing town of 30,000 inhabitants, state what you consider of importance as regards (A) Sources of supply; (B) Quantity required; (C) Distribution.\n\nAnswer: (A) The geographical situation of the town, as to the possibility of gravitation from rivers or otherwise; the geological situation of its surroundings, with a view to its probability of affording a sufficiency of supply and its nature as to hardness, &c.; the annual average rainfall: what water rights, if any, existed; the present population and prospective rate of increase, and whether the town was a full water-closet one or otherwise.\n\n(B) Twenty-five to thirty gallons per head population.\n\n(C) Under pressure that all cisterns had ball-cocks and tell-tale overflows; that Deacon's waste-water preventers were in use; that a thorough system of inspection existed to detect waste; that the mains were well laid and efficiently jointed, and that a sufficiency existed for immediate use in case of fire. In the constant service system there is very little, if any, waste; the returns from many towns showing none; but in the intermittent there is often a large amount of waste through neglect of the inhabitants and defective fittings. The screw-down tap somewhat modifies this, but it is a very slow and unsatisfactory way of drawing water.\n\nQuestion 9.\nDescribe the general characters of the waters derived from—(1) The chalk; (2) the new red sandstone; (3) the carboniferous formations; and the methods by which water should be obtained from each.\n\nAnswer: (1) Water derived from the chalk formation, although generally pure and plentiful (except in long seasons of drought), is often very hard, leaving injurious effects on some constitutions.\n\n(2) Water derived from the new red sandstone formation is sometimes of a rather hard description, but not to the degree of that yielded by the chalk formation.\n\n(3) The carboniferous (or coal measure) formations always yields soft water of undoubted purity, and generally in ample volume for all purposes.\n\nQuestion 10.\nIn what ways is water able to be polluted after collection, during its distribution to houses, and in houses? What means would you adopt to prevent such pollution?\n\nAnswer: Water may become polluted after collection by fungoid growths and atmospheric influences (where exposed to such): during distribution, from imperfect pipes and joints allowing sewer or other gas to enter the mains; in houses, by improper fittings, such as a cistern in direct communication with the drain, or so placed as to be difficult of cleansing, and frequently not ventilated, and other insidious causes.\n\nQuestion 11.\nWhat fittings, and plumber's work generally are required for a high-pressure constant water service? How would you make the connection with the main? Describe the kinds of joints which should be used on the branches?\n\nAnswer: The class of fittings required for the high-pressure constant service are iron tubular services with iron angle or T-pieces, either tinned or galvanised. Where lead must be used the joints should be what is known as plumber's or wiped joints, the taps being those known as the high-pressure screw-down service taps, the connection with the main being by a ferrule; plumber's joints on branches, unless iron unions are used.\n\nQuestion 12.\nThere is great difficulty in obtaining a supply of good water for a country house, and it is therefore necessary to obtain as much water as possible from the roofs, and to use it for drinking and cooking purposes. The total area of area of the roof of the house and offices is 8,000 square feet, and the average annual rainfall is about 40 inches. Calculate what size the storage tank should be, and give a sketch of it and of its appendages?\n\nAnswer: Size of storage tank, 160,000 gallons.\n\nQuestion 13.\nTo what extent does the size of a room affect the quantity of fresh air required for effective ventilation, and what quantity of air would be required per hour for a room containing 8,000 cubic feet, occupied by fifteen people? How would you ventilate such a room? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Douglas Galton in 'Healthy Homes' quotes: \"According to theoretical calculations, it would appear that, with an initial air space of 1,000 cubic feet, occupied by one individual, it would be necessary to supply 3,000 cubic feet per hour, to maintain the room in a proper condition of humidity. As regards other impurities, if 0.6 per 1,000 of CO2 are accepted as the limit of respiratory impurity in a well-ventilated air space, in addition to the 0.4 per 1,000 in normal air, we can calculate out the amount of air necessary for the purpose; and from this calculation it appears that it requires 3,000 cubic feet per hour to preserve the air-space in the required state of freshness. Thus the theoretical calculations, based first upon humidity, and secondly on carbonic acid, bring us to similar conclusions in each case.\"\n\nDe Chaumont in Parkes' 'Practical Hygiene': \"A certain amount of fresh air has to pass through a given space in a fixed time in order to maintain a certain degree of purity; the amount has been fixed at 3,000 cubic feet for each healthy person in an hour. Thus a space of 100 cubic feet must have its air changed thirty times in an hour. If 3,000 feet of air are to be given, while a space of 1,000 cubic feet need only have it changed three times in an hour for an equal ventilation, then our problem being 15 persons in a room of 8,000 cubic feet, would work out thus: - 3,000 x 15 = 45,000 cubic feet of air as requisite. The room being of 8,000 cubic feet capacity would require the air to be changed nearly 5.6 times in an hour.\n\nCOMPETITIONS.\nSANITARY INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN.\nAt an Examination, held Nov. 11 and 12, 62 Candidates presented themselves as Local Surveyors and 59 as Inspectors of Nuisances.

This was followed by the usual Local Government Inquiry, at which some evidence in opposition was given. At the meeting of the Bridgend Rural Sanitary Authority on the 4th inst., the question was discussed, and a resolution passed upholding a previous one in favour of the formation of the proposed district, as they 'saw no reason to change their opinion after hearing the objections raised at the recent Government Inquiry.'\n\nNOTES AND QUERIES.\n\nHaving for some time back been in the receipt of Queries appertaining strictly to sanitary work, and which it would be easy to answer, without having to refer our correspondents to competent professional advisers, we have opened a column in which to register such Queries and Replies thereto as can fairly be expected from us; and our subscribers and readers are invited to make such use of this column as will tend to benefit themselves and the community. Both Queries and Replies will, however, be subjected, if unnecessarily long, to a strict curtailment.\n\n205. TEST SOLUTIONS FOR WATER ANALYSIS.\n\nI should be much obliged if you would state where you would recommend me to get reliable test solutions for water analysis according to Wanklyn.\n\nR.M.O.H. [Messrs. Y. E. Becker & Co., 34 Maiden Lane, Covent Garden, W.C., supply the solutions in a satisfactory state.—ED.]\n\n206. WATER SUPPLY.\n\nCan you recommend me any book that gives the average quantity of water used or required per head of population throughout the country?\n\nC. W. P.\n\nThe most reliable information as to the quantity of water which should preferably be allowed per head of population under varying conditions is to be found in Parkes' and De Chaumont's 'Practical Hygiene,' and it would, perhaps, be useless to seek elsewhere, as all the information upon this subject is brought down to a late date. Consult the Sixth Edition (1883) of the above work, pages 3 to 7. The publishers are Messrs. J. & A. Churchill, 11 New Burlington Street, London, W. (See also SANITARY RECORD, Aug. 16, 1886, page 91.) All engineers strive as much as possible to allow 30 gallons per head for domestic purposes, and in the work above mentioned this amount is thus distributed—Domestic supply (without bath or closets), 20 gallons; add for general baths, 4 gallons; water-closets, 6 gallons; unavoidable waste, 3 gallons—total, 33 gallons.—ED.]\n\n207. QUALIFICATIONS OF A CHIEF INSPECTOR OF NUISANCES.\n\nWhat do you consider the proper qualifications for a chief inspector of nuisances in a town of between 90,000 and 100,000 inhabitants, whose salary will be between £140 and £160 per annum? There will be several inspectors under him, and there is a medical officer of health who does not practise privately.\n\nALPHA.\n\nThis is not a question which lends itself to any such short answer as alone is possible for us in this corner of the RECORD. But our correspondent will find fully detailed remarks as to the qualifications for the post which he describes in the number for May 15, 1883, p. 510.]\n\nJEYES' PERFECT PURIFIER' is a disinfectant in fluid form of extraordinary efficacy. It is used in the Royal households and by Her Majesty's Government establishments, the Corporation of London, Smithfield and Billingsgate Markets, various steamship and railway companies, the principal hospitals, &c., and is authorised by the Board of Trade and the Indian Government. The testimonials which have been received bear the names among others of such unimpeachable authorities as Sir R. Rawlinson, C.B., C.E., Chief Sanitary Engineer of the Local Board, Home Office; Professor Wanklyn, M.R.C.S.; Dr. C. A. Cameron, Medical Officer of Health, Dublin; Mr. J. T. Dibdin, A.V.D., Cavalry Barracks, York; and Dr. Crookshank, Inspector-General of Prisons, Cairo. In addition to its powerful disinfecting properties, this compound possesses the recommendation that it is non-poisonous, non-corrosive, stainless in use, and cheap. The scientific mind will understand and appreciate this characteristic of the manufacture—that it prevents contagion by destroying its cause; it instantly removes bad smells; is an unfailing cure for eczema and other skin diseases, and is the best known insecticide.—Sold by all respectable Chemists' Stores, &c., in bottles at 6d. and 1s. and drums at 5s. per gallon.

        "content_text": "## OCR Proofread Text\n\nThe brother told me that the MSS. contained nothing but religious forms, charms, and such like--the only purpose, so far as I have heard, for which the Lolos employ their writing. I now begged one of the MSS. The wife and brother of the absent perma both saw insuperable obstacles, but the T'u-ssu overruled their objections and insisted that I should have one. This MS. is now in the British Museum.\n\nThese Lolos had bigger and more irregular features than average Chinese. The colour of the skin seemed much the same, but the eyes were deeper sunk. They are divided into three tribes, known in Chinese as \"Hei,\" \"Pai,\" and \"Kan\" (Black, White, and Dry) Lolo, or I-jên, a meaningless distinction, but corresponding to a real tribal division apparently. They believe in a future state of retribution, burn the dead, worship their ancestors with the sacrifice of an ox, and have no idols. Four pieces of brown paper were said to represent the potentialities of the other world, and three sticks of bamboo their ancestors.\n\nThe Tang-tang River is an insignificant stream, but has a broad bed covered with débris from the hills, and is, like the K'o-tu River, no doubt a formidable stream in the rains. At Shih-ya-k'ou we passed the first cart I had seen since leaving Shanghae. This cart we took to be a promise of better things, for it was of such a clumsy construction, with solid wooden wheels, which were worn unevenly into oblate form, that no power of bullock could have dragged it over the roads we had passed. And, sure enough, a turn from the village brought us on to a plain, so that we had actually before us a level horizon--the first that I had set eyes on since leaving I-ch'ang. For the next 10 miles, to the first town in the Yunnan Province--Hsüan-wei Chou--our road ran over an expanse of dry red loam, with scarcely a house or tree in sight.\n\nHsüan-wei Chou is a town about which a pioneer of commerce cannot find much to say. My Chinese clerk went out as usual, armed with samples, to discover what the inhabitants paid for foreign imports, but returned to say that the only trade was in hams, and that there was no one in the place worth $200.\n\nThis plain has been almost cleared of wood, probably at the time of the rebellion, when 200,000 men are said to have been encamped here. But the lack of wood in the neighbourhood of towns is the rule in Yünnan. After the ascent from T'ang-t'ang on to the plain coal is met no more, and during the next three months which we are to spend in the Yunnan Province coal will only be once met with (at Lin-yan Fu). Nearly all the towns burn wood, which the Lolos and other inferior races bring in for sale, often having to go 5 miles from the town to find it. On the other hand, in Kuei-chou and Ssu-ch'uan, coal is found everywhere.\n\nEveryone one meets is armed here. Between Hsüan-wei Chou and Chau-i Chou we met a man carrying a weapon I had never seen before, but which I found afterwards to be very common all over the Yunnan Province. It is a rod of iron about 3 feet long, with a sword handle at one end, and at the other a bar at right angles to the rod about 5 inches long, pointed and sharpened on the inner edge. Asked what it was for and how used, the man replied for men or wild beasts it would give a stab by striking or a cut by pulling. This weapon is called `kou-lien` (hook).\n\nThere is plenty of food for the gun in this part, and probably for the rifle. The lakes are covered with water-fowl, and the country infested by an enormous bird with black head, black tips to feathers, and slate-coloured body called `ching-chuang` or `huo` by the Chinese, probably a kind of crane. I noticed a Proclamation by the Magistrate of Ma-lung Chou offering a reward of 2 dollars each for wild dogs, whatever that may mean, and other beasts who attack children and dig up dead bodies.\n\nAt Ma-lung our road unites with the main western road which runs across China from Hankow to Burmah. This part of it has been described by several travellers, and need not detain us.\n\nAt Yang-lin I noticed for the first time a curious custom that appears widely spread over Western China. Wherever there is an overhanging ledge of rock the coolies brought bits of wood and twigs of trees to prop it up. Under some of these ledges there are hundreds of such diminutive supports; the only explanation I could get was that if they helped the rock it would help them in return, and save them from aching feet and back.\n\nOn the 3rd December we reached Yünnan Fu, the capital of the province, a bright and clean city for China, evidently containing a well-to-do population. The straight broad streets, new p'ai-fangs blazing in gorgeous colours, and gaily dressed women, who affect light blue gowns with bright red linings to the sleeves, and a red band round the ankle, set off by the magnificent clear bright weather, were very striking after the narrow streets and sombre blue clothing of Ssu-ch'uan.\n\nAlthough the city has an altitude of 6,420 feet fever is not unknown, and several of our party suffered badly. The north of Yunnan has a climate probably as suited to Europeans as any in this part of the world. It should be noted that Yunnan Fu is situated on a lake which is at the bottom of a gentle but somewhat extensive depression. I was told that formerly there was no outlet for the water of this basin, and that only in the thirteenth century was the canal cut which now carries the water from the south-west side of the lake into a stream that flows north to the Yang-tzu, and is shown on Mr. Baber's chart west of Anning-chou.\n\nIt is impossible to convey a clear idea of the commercial capabilities of this city without giving a general sketch of the configuration of the great plateau on which it stands, and thus anticipating the latter portions of this Report. This plateau, if so it may be called, for it is everywhere broken by hills and cut through by rivers, and in some parts even traversed by mountain ranges, is on the eastern slope from the Himalayas to the China Sea, and is nearly conterminous with the Chinese Provinces of Yunnan and Kuei-chou. To show the nature of the ground, I cannot do better than make a circuit of the routes that lead to Yunnan Fu. Starting with the road we have followed, reference to Part I of this Report will show that navigation from the Yang-tzu ended at Yung-ning Hsien, 1,060 feet above the sea, and that in two stages the road reached an elevation of 4,340 feet, and touched 7,770 feet before Yünnan Fu was reached. Next to the west comes the route by Chao-t'ong Fu; here navigation from the Yang-tzu ceases before Lao-wa-t'an (Baber, 1,140) is reached; and the route passes Chao-t'ong Fu (Baber, 6,580) and Tung-ch'uan Fu (Baber, 7,190). West of this comes the neck of high land that connects the plateau with the Thibetan uplands traversed by the Hui-li Chou (Baber, 6,000) route, and by the Wei-hsi route. (See Gill's \"River of Golden Sand,\" vol. ii, p. 255.)\n\nFrom Bhamo (430), the terminus of the navigation of the Irrawaddy, the great Burmese trade route runs through Têng-vueh Chou (5,540), Yung-ch'ang Fu (5,880), and Ta-li Fu (6,550). The next route is that by the valley of the Shui-li, past Lung-ling Chou, by which there is said to have been once a considerable traffic, killed since the rebellion. Next comes the caravan route by way of the valley of the Mekong, to Ssu-mao (4,480), and on to Yunnan Fu by an extraordinarily difficult road (see Sketch 3). The next route is that by the Red River, through Lao-kai and Mêng-tzu Hsien. Mêng-tzu is on the southern edge of the plateau, with an elevation of 4,530 feet, from which to Lao-kai there must be a descent of something like 3,500 feet. Next comes the Canton West River, by Po-sé (530)--two days above which the navigation comes to an end--to Kuang-nan Fu (4,310). To the east again is the Kwang-si land route, which passes through Ch'ing-yuan Fu (490), and Tu-shan Chou (3,460), to Kuei-yang Fu, the capital of the Kuei-chou Province. Next comes the great western road from Hankow, traversed by Margary, which follows the Tung-ting Lake and the Yuan River to Chên-yuan Fu (altitude not known), where navigation ceases. From Chên-yuan Fu the traffic is by caravan to Kuei-yang Fu (3,530). Lastly, there is the route between Ssu-ch'uan and Kuei-yang Fu, by a tributary of the Yang-tzu to Chi-chiang Hsien (880), where navigation ceases, through Tung-tzu Hsien (3,020) to Kuei-yang Fu.\n\nIt appears, then, that Yunnan and Western Kuei-chou are very nearly conterminous.\n\n[496]\n405",

        "content_text": "# Frontier Treaty between France and China\n\n## Sent home in Mr. Alabaster's No. 13 of August 17, 1887.--(Received at the Foreign Office, September 19.)\n\n**(Translation.)**\n\nWHEREAS on the 9th day of June, 1885, His Majesty the Emperor of China and the President of the French Republic dispatched Commissioners personally to fix the boundary of China and Tonquin, and these Commissioners having returned on the completion of their labours, and His Majesty the Emperor of China having deputed Ching, Prince of the Second Order, President of the Tsung-li Yamên, and Sun, Minister of the Tsung-li Yamên, Senior Vice-President of the Board of Works; and the President of the French Republic, M. Constans, Member of the Chamber of Deputies, several times Minister for the Interior, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Peking, to be Plenipotentiaries to effect a permanent and satisfactory settlement of the boundary question, the Arrangement arrived at by these Plenipotentiaries is as follows:-\n\n## I.\n\nThe Reports of the Delimitation Commissioners of the two countries, and the Maps of the frontier constructed by them, under their respective hands and seals, having been duly compared, are hereby approved.\n\n## II.\n\nThose points regarding which the Delimitation Commissioners are not in accord and those points contained in the final clauses of Article III of the Treaty of the 9th June, 1885, which require alteration, have been settled in the three following Articles:\n\n1. It is agreed, in reference to the boundary of the Province of Kwang-tung, as the Commissioners decided, that those places to the east of Mangkai and in a north-east direction, which have been under discussion, shall fall under the jurisdiction of China; that those islands which lie to the east of the red line laid down by the Delimitation Commissioners (such red line in a southerly direction directly crossing the hilltop to the south of Ch'a-Kuo-hsieb,* and constituting the boundary-line) shall fall to China, and that the Island of Chiu-t'ou-shan, called in Annamese Gotto, and the other small islands, shall fall to Annam.\n\nShould Chinese criminals escape to the Gotto and other islands, the French authorities shall, in accordance with the XVIIth Article of the Treaty of the 25th April, 1886, search for, arrest, and deliver them up.\n\n2. With reference to Chart No. 2, dealing with the frontier of Yunnan and Annam, from Kou-t'on-chai on the left bank of the Hsiao-tu-chou River, and marked on the Map with the character P, from west to east for a distance of over 50 li, and Chü-cha-hsieh, also called Chu-chiang-hsieh, Chu-mei-hsieh, and Chiang-fei-hsieh, also called Cha-fei-hsieh, shall belong to China. Viu-p'êng-hsieh, to the south, shall belong to Annam. From the character 2 to the character A, from west to east, the frontier of China and Annam crosses two rivers, which unite and enter the Ta-tu-chou River, also called the Hei Ho, from south-east for a distance of about 15 li to Nan-tan, to the north of the character T. Nan-têng-ho, Man-mei, Mêng-tung-shang-ts'un, Mêng-tung-shan, Mêng-tung-chung-ts'un, and Mêng-tung-hsia-ts'un, which lie to the south of the frontier-line as laid down in the Chart from the character T north-east to Mêng-tung-hsia-ts'un, All to the south of these fall to China. marked with the character, fall to Annam.\n\nFrom Mêng-tung-hsia-ts'un, marked, across the Ching-shui-ho at its junction with the Ta-ho, marked E, the centre of the river shall form the boundary. From ... to the centre of the Ta-ho shall form the boundary. Chuan-t'ou, which lies to the west of the river, falls to China, while Pien-ma-chai, to the east of the river, falls to Annam. From ... northwards to ..., passing Lao-yi-k'an to Pai-shih-ai, shall be equally divided between China and Annam. To the east of Pai-shih-ai and Lao-yi-k'an will fall to Annam; to the west, to China, that is, from the character ... northwards by way of Pien-pa-chia to the centre of Pei-pao and the east bank of the small river which enters the Ta-ho straight to Kao-ma-pai, marked on the Map with the character E, and to the end of the Delimitation Commissioners' Chart No. 2.\n\n3. On Chart No. 5 of Yunnan and Annam the boundary, starting from Lung-po-chai, crosses the Lung-po River to the point where the Ching-shui River enters the Lung-po River, and marked on the Map with the character P, and from north-east to south-east as far as the junction of the Mien-shui-wan with the Shai-chiang River, and marked on the Map with the character Z. By this boundary the Ching-shui and Mien-shui-wan Rivers fall to China. From the character Z the boundary runs straight west to the Têng-tiao River to the south of Ta-shu-chiao. To the south of the boundary-line on the Chart falls to Annam; to the north to China. From the character ... to the junction of the Chin-tzu River with the Têng-tiao River, the centre of the river constitutes the boundary. From T it crosses the Chin-tzü River for a distance of over 30 li, and westward to the character ... on the Map. This boundary stretches eastward of Mêng-pang-tu to the small river which flows into the Hei-chiang to the character ... on the Map. The centre of the river between the character ... and ... forms the boundary. Westward of E, the centre of the Hei-chiang constitutes the boundary.\n\nThis is in accordance with the Maps constructed by the Delimitation Commissioners as well as by the boundary-line marked as above.\n\nThe Chinese local authorities and officers deputed by the Resident of the French Republic in Annam shall jointly erect boundary stones.\n\nThe boundary Maps now signed are made out in duplicate, each consisting of three sheets, and have been duly drawn up, signed, and sealed by the Plenipotentiaries of the two countries. The red line denotes the new boundary. The Maps of the Yunnan boundary are, for convenience of reference, marked with the French letters (a), (b), (c), &c., and the Chinese character P, &c.\n\n## Correspondence between the Minister for France and the Tsung-li Yamên explaining certain points on the New Treaty.\n\n**(Translation.)**\n\nThe Prince and Ministers to the Minister for France,\n\nOn the 25th April, 1886, the Prince and Ministers discussed with the Minister for France nineteen Regulations for the conduct of the frontier trade between China and Annam, and, on the 9th June, 1885, a new Treaty of ten Articles between China and France was concluded. Both parties have, after consultation, agreed that the Treaty and Regulations are in some parts wanting in explicitness and that slight modifications are required in some parts, and they have accordingly concluded a Special Commercial Treaty of ten Articles and a Special Treaty of four Articles dealing with frontier affairs. These have been translated, signed, and sealed; but there are three points that require to be clearly and distinctly stated on both sides:---\n\n1. By the previous Treaty, China might appoint Consuls at the chief towns in Tonquin. This matter having been under discussion by both parties, China consents that the appointment of such Consuls shall be temporarily delayed until both countries are agreed that the state of the country permits of such appointment.\n\n2. When China appoints Consuls to Hanoi and Haifong, France shall be at liberty to appoint Consuls to the capitals of the two Provinces of Yünnan and Kwang-si.\n\n3. Lung-chow, Mông-tzu, and Man-hao, to which China agrees that France may appoint two Consuls and a Consular officer respectively, are only overland trading centres, and settlements such as those at Shanghae and other open ports will not be allowed.\n\nThese three points, although not inserted in the Special Supplementary Treaty, will be respected equally with the contents of the Treaty itself.\n\nThe Prince and Ministers have the honour to request that the French Minister will be pleased to reply to this special despatch so that the reply may be placed on record.\n\n**(Translation.)**\n\nThe Minister for France to the Prince and Ministers.\n\nThe Minister for France has the honour to acknowledge the receipt on the 23rd June, 1887, of a despatch from the Prince and Ministers stating that there are three points, not contained in the Supplementary Treaty, which it is now proposed to modify.\n\n[Quotes the Yamên's despatch.]\n\nThe despatch under acknowledgment affords satisfactory proof that, at the time that both parties were discussing and concluding terms, there was perfect agreement between the Minister for France and the Prince and Ministers regarding the three points mentioned above.\n\nPage 10\n438",

This brings us to an issue of proportionality.\n\nIt must have a better connection between its Eastern & Western halves of the Town. The link is Waterfront for that would prevent them from working.\n\nreplied You cannot have it by taking the Yards properly (and I confess it must have that effect). So after further discussion, I agreed with Dubert & M. Hambroir Shahs to propose abandoning the Praya Extension on condition that the Admiralty provide, without cost to the Colony, a sufficient road at the back of the present Yard. I also proposed to widen the Queen's Road, which can only be done by taking off a third of the present Yard on the land side.\n\nMy idea of sufficiency is a roadway of 40 feet between the foot pavements; but we have to consult the Crown agents - beginning & the Loan should be at the end of the present declaration worker - 1.5% interest.\n\nThe Cricket Ground, shown on chart, is to be continued to where it would join the Eastern Praya at the Blue Buildings - also shown on chart.\n\nOur letter shows largely the long-standing desire of the Colony to continue their Praya the whole length of the City, from East to West, of the absolute necessity of providing a better connection between West & East, which may probably contain a population of several thousand people, who at present possess only one channel of communication. It is very inapt to quote Queen's Road when speaking of the great sacrifice Hambroir Shahs will make if he abandons the long-cherished Praya scheme - but in defence, I pointed out that as no additional connection will be possible hereafter, we must look ahead & secure that any road we make now will meet the requirements of a greatly increasing population in time.\n\nMajor Pilkingtion came & thought that if Lt. Col. W.0. could come down & give up their present anticipated barracks on both sides of the Naval Yard, Exchange for New Barracks & Modern Barracks on the hill built by Admiralty, who were then establishing their new establishment from in front of these lands, more land, & transfer this present establishment to the Eastern & construct a Dock.\n\nThemselfs Lam asked why they did not move the Yard to China.\n\nA friend in London, & Rowthorn, & in Law said that some or commanders from the Bills of Worthington & others entail a defence of the Junks' works defence, which as to Causeway Bay, the Yard is exposed, which is true for a position down a fully armed hill directly behind, & that there are sooner or later objections also to this from any modification of the Harbour, which is intelligible for vessels coming from the Eastward, where they have to turn round & alter their course almost at right angles. But above all, either change or remain years & carry out, & in the meantime, the requirements which are pressing, will be at a standstill.",

C.**\n\nSir,\n\n22325 (RES 14 FC 96)\n\nI am commanded by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you for the information of the Secretary of State for the Colonies that my Lords have again considered the proposed extension of Hong Kong Naval Yard with reference to the Praya Scheme and the rough sketch accompanying your letter of 31st August 1894.\n\nUnder the Praya Scheme, it is contemplated to form a public road through the site to be occupied by the New Dockyard, the water frontage of which will be somewhere about the 3 fathom line, as marked on the chart. The road would apparently be within 100 yards of the wharf wall, and the level of the roadway would be on the same level as that of the Dockyard, access to the wharf being gained by subways, or by means of arches or columns if the road were carried at a higher level.\n\nThere are insurmountable objections to having any road so close to the wharf wall. I think we should consider their width for the commenting mother respects proud people.\n\nThe Lands County Council do not like the road being paid for by selective tide walks.\n\nThe intermediate land between the 2 Praya roads being very narrow, it is not considered desirable to have a road with a width of 75 feet, including side walks.\n\nI think we should have a width of 60 feet or say 75 feet with side walks for the Praya Road.\n\n### In reply quote \n`WL 639 596`\n\n## \np. 180\n\n### 25/1/96 The Eraya Wall\n\nWe should have to obtain from the Colonial forts any reasons for legislation - rights of forfeiture.\n\nThis will also entail modifications of the Military Lands scheme on the footing when under it or subjected to the de Military sites - but this must first be considered.\n\n### Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, \n`L.P.-No. 7.

        "content_text": "# The \"Hyenik\" was on the berth for the mid-August trip, and I took passage by her on the 18th instant. I found, however, that, despite the announcement in the Gazette that she was bound for Fusan, her agents here had altered, at the last moment, her destination.\n\nShe would, I was informed, call at Kunsan, Mokpo, and Chei-ju, but on quitting Chei-ju would proceed, not to Choa-sei Yêng and Fusan, but to Chennampo, on the Ping-yang inlet. The change, embarrassing as it might have proved, was not unwelcome, as it gave me an opportunity of again examining Chennampo, the other suggested Treaty port.\n\n## Departure from Chemulpo and Journey to Kunsan\n\nWe left Chemulpo on the afternoon of the 19th instant for Kunsan. A month earlier, on the occasion of a further experimental cruise round the coast, special correspondents of the local Japanese newspapers, the \"Kanjo Shimpo,\" of Seoul, and the \"Shin Chosen\" of Chemulpo, had accompanied the steam-ship \"Hairiong.\" The results of their inquiries are now appearing in their respective journals, and as they represent the views of those not least interested in the Corean coast trade, I shall have frequent occasion to refer to them. Mr. Osborne, moreover, the Commissioner of Customs here, who visited Mokpo at the same time as Mr. Kodera, has kindly placed at my disposal his most useful notes.\n\n## Kunsan\n\nIn common with all the ports (Chemulpo hardly excepted) on the west and south coasts of Corea, Kunsan cannot be entered except by daylight. There are no lights along those coasts, or for that matter elsewhere in the peninsula. Recently, it is not clear on whose initiative, a small Japanese Government steamer has arrived in these waters, and has commenced to make note of the various points at which lighthouses or beacons should be erected. Their erection, if it is really contemplated by the Corean Government, must in any case be a matter of time, as sufficient funds for the maintenance of the forty or fifty lights which the \"Shin Chosen\" calculates to be needed can hardly be provided out of the present tonnage dues.\n\nThe absence of lights obliged the \"Hyenik\" to anchor, or at least lie-to, until daybreak before attempting to enter the successive ports. Further delay is caused on this west coast by the obligation to wait upon the tides. Kunsan cannot be approached at dead low water, while Mokpo, as will be explained, for a few days in each month, is only safely to be entered at slack water.\n\nWe anchored, then, at 1 A.M., off the mouth of the Keum Kang, North Brown Island, bearing east, and Helen Island, north-north-west. At 9-30 we weighed, as the flood was beginning to make, and steamed up the channel. Captain Benzenius, of the \"Hyenik,\" pointed out to me, as we proceeded, certain rocks which are not marked in the Admiralty charts. Two of these are of importance, as they are close on the fairway (126° 36′ 5′′ east, 35° 59′ north). A third higher up, also on the south edge of the channel, is of less consequence, since it lies off the track, and the same may be said of a fourth on the north shore opposite Kunsan. The rock in Kunsan Harbour shown in the charts is actually some way further east. In any case, Kunsan should not be entered without a pilot or very explicit sailing directions, and it would be, even with these, a difficult harbour to navigate for vessels of any considerable size.\n\nTo the north of the channel stretch mile-long sand-banks, over which the sea breaks heavily in the winter monsoon. The port itself is formed by the Keum Kang or Satin River, flowing here east to west. The river forms the boundary between the two Provinces of Ch'ung-ch'èng and Chulla, and is the waterway by which the important cities of Kong-ju in the former province and of Chên-ju in the latter are approached. Properly speaking, the town, which is on the south or Chulla shore, is a \"chin\" or guard-station in the Prefecture (\"Kun\") of Ok-ku, in the new department or county of Ch'ên-ju. It has hitherto been the residence of a \"Sei-kun Ch'emsa,\" or naval Captain, whose public office is picturesquely situated on the top of a wooded bluff facing the river.\n\n\"The present Ch'êmsa,\" says the \"Shin Chosen,\" \"is, for a Corean official, not a bad fellow, and has undertaken to do his best for the regular steamers.\" His office, however, is in a sad, but by no means unique, state of disrepair, \"worse than many an old temple in the hills.\" I saw nothing of it, or him, for we only stayed long enough to land four passengers. It was high noon, and, as far as I could observe, neither the inhabitants at large nor the accommodating Ch'emsa took the slightest interest in our proceedings. This insouciance is characteristic of the Corean, in office or out.\n\nAs long as he has rice to eat, tobacco to smoke, and a \"gesang\" to sing to him, the Corean would rather not be troubled with trade, still less with steamers, and time-tables are a mystery and a weariness. This disposition of his, antiquated but enviable, is the great hindrance to the development of the coast trade, which, with a more vigorous race, would long ago have attained noteworthy dimensions, where both fields and waters are so prolific.\n\nIt would be a mistake, however, to despair of the future of the many ports of the peninsula, especially when regard is had to the growth of Chemulpo during the twelve years it has been opened. Kunsan, though offering no great facilities for steamer traffic, is the port for the two most fertile provinces of Corea. At present, it is practically a storehouse for Government rice, which, until the changes of the past twelve months, had to be sent hence on Government account in bulk to Seoul.\n\nSome 30 miles up stream, at a point accessible by junks of 800 piculs (50 tons) burthen, is the entrepôt of Kang-Kyeng, a place even now of considerable trade. It is, it may be remarked, a noteworthy feature of Corea that all, or almost all, of her chief towns are situated some miles from the sea, so that a very imperfect idea of the commerce or population of the country could be gathered from a review of her coasts, the only access possible till two decades ago. In this lies, indeed, hope for the future prosperity of her ports, which, however unfrequented now, may be expected under favourable conditions to attract what traders there are from the inland cities to the coast.\n\nThe present population of Kunsan is set down as seventy or eighty households, or some 350 souls. \"The people,\" says the \"Shin Chosen,\" \"are mild and tractable in disposition, and submissive to foreigners, towards whom they indulge in no vituperation or abuse.\" The staple article of export, as has been said, is rice; other goods are screens (from Ch'ênju), fans, paper, and hempen cloth.\n\n## Pêpsêng and Mokpo\n\nThe next place of importance along the coast to the south of Kunsan is Pêpsêng, which is not on the list of ports visited by the regular steamers. The town is, nevertheless, a busy centre of native trade, and a congregating place for fishermen. The anchorage, however, is bad, as there is not sufficient water for steamers to approach the shore.\n\nI may remark, in passing, that the anchorage is not situated off the \"Popsong\" of the charts, but by two islets west-south-west of Mujang. We did not visit it, but pursued our way southwards, anchoring for the night between Fire Island and the Clump group. Weighing at daybreak (4·30) we reached Mokpo at 9 A.M.\n\nThe course followed has only been surveyed as far as the South Tivin, and even where it has been surveyed, the charts leave certain dangers still unmarked. The approach, of which a more reliable survey has been made, that through Lyne south to the south of Mokpo Forks, I shall have occasion to refer to later.\n\nWhat, through ignorance of its native name and self-restraint, or failing imagination on the part of the Hydrographers, I have called \"Mokpo Forks,\" is a narrow and deep cleft which forms the only steamer entrance to Mokpo. The south bank is the mainland, lofty hills covered with pines; the northern is an island almost equally beautiful, the larger of two which shut in the Mokpo River. The strait is only some half-mile long, and 500 yards or so in breadth, but it is the main exit for the waters of the Yong-san-kang, and the wide basin into which they empty.\n\nThe tides at Mokpo, 7 miles from the Forks, rise 12 feet at springs, and all the vast body of water such a rise implies, or nearly all of it, has to find its way twice a-day through that narrow channel. The consequence is, that for some four hours for two or three days after each full and change, a current races through the Forks which a steamer of 12 knots can hardly stem. Once through, close attention to the sailing directions of the China Sea Directory will bring the vessel by a zigzag course to Mokpo.\n\nThe chief, if not the only, danger is a shoal, marked on the chart, near the northern end of the bend above the Forks, formed doubtless by the swirling of the water round the remarkable wall of cliffs opposite to the Mokpo Peninsula.\n\nThe chief feature of that peninsula is the hill of Yu-tal, 750 feet in height. Round this, as a centre, the river winds through an arc of 90 degrees until, at a point some 2 miles south-east of the hill-top, it is joined by a creek from the north. At the junction of the two is the tiny walled town of Mokpo.\n\nThe accompanying sketch plan will give some idea of the surroundings of this townlet. Mokpo is built upon two boulder masses, which together must have at one time formed an island. The erstwhile island is now connected with the peninsula by two causeways, one running, roughly speaking, north from the north-west angle of the town, the other west from the south-west angle. All between these two causeways, that is, all space west of the town, but east of the mainland hills, is reclaimed or reclaimable ground, covered, as I saw it, with paddy, except that just above the southern dyke are the usual waterpools and beds of rushes. South of that dyke, which is some 300 yards long, stretches at low water a bank of mud, but at high water the whole of this is covered.\n\nThe creek east of Mokpo town is a most promising element in the port, for even at low water springs it is, in the reach alongside the town, from 20 to 30 feet deep. The one drawback to Mokpo as an anchorage—a drawback it shares with all ports on the east coast—is the strength of the tide, particularly the ebb-tide. But in the creek this is less felt. Eastward of it, at low water, stretches a wide mudflat, in the middle of which are...\n\nPage 437",

        "content_text": "# \nthat \"its general appearance, as viewed from the sea, is inviting, there being a pleasant variety of hill and dale, and on the northern and eastern sides much cleared land, cultivation rising probably to the level of 2,000 feet. Above this, all appears to be buried in thick forests of pines and other northern trees, even to the highest peak, Mount Auckland, 6,558 feet above the level of the sea.\" As I saw it, however, 3 miles out to sea, and just before sunrise, the appearance of the great island was weird and gloomy in the extreme, a repellent contrast to the smiling archipelago I had left the night before. There among the islets is indeed \"a pleasant variety,\" the peaks are frayed into a thousand shapes, and flushed with red sandstone where they are not green with grass. Here the land rose smoothly from the sea like the back of a monstrous cachalot studded with huge bosses, grey cones that seemed like ghosts of, what in truth they are, dead craters. Over Mount Auckland, whose mass might have broken the spell of this gruesome procession, hung a thick pall of clouds. The island, in its silence and awesomeness, appeared indeed such as we imagine to be at closer quarters, the scenery of the moon.\n\nIt was not till I got ashore that the irrational horror began to lift. Quelpart is in fact of volcanic formation, and the cliffs along which we were skirting are formed of masses of black lava. It is in an opening in these cliffs, some 600 yards wide, that the city of Chei-ju fronts the sea. Why it was built there became more apparent as we drew near the shore in the ship's boat. At first nothing could be seen but a forbidding beach of lava pebbles, on which the surf was breaking. Guided by the people on shore we steered for the east end of the beach, where the stones had been cleared out at the mouth of a stream and a rough bund built up. The tide had not risen sufficiently to lift our boat over the bar of pebbles until she was lightened of her passengers, who were carried ashore on the islanders' shoulders. We then observed that the stream, protected from the sea by its natural breakwater of pebbles, formed a small boat harbour, in which lay a few fishing craft, among them one Japanese with two men aboard. I was taken into the city to call on the Chief Magistrate, a friendly crowd at our heels. Our way led us past the boat harbour, creek, lagoon, or whatever it should be called, westward to the city wall. Chei-ju claims to be 1,900 years old, but was restored and reorganized only two or three centuries back. The wall looks worthy of the earlier date, so grey is it, and overgrown in parts with creepers that have thickened into wood. The gates are remarkable. The arch is not more than 12 feet high or broad, and the two leaves of the gates do not fill the whole space, squared off as they are at top. The wall, the houses, the streets, are built of lava, and this, though it makes Chei-ju a gloomy city to the eye, at least keeps it comparatively clean for the feet. The shops, such as I saw, and I think I was traversing the main street, were equally novel to me. They appear as so many cupboards, as it were, 4 feet, or little more, in depth and breadth, and 6 to 7 feet high, opening on to the street through the usual Corean window space. There can be room for only two persons in the shop, and the purchaser, I presume, negotiates from the street.\n\n## \n\nThe public offices of Chei-ju open on to the market-place, through which a flagged causeway runs. The market, they told me, is held six times a-month. On the north of the square is the Yamun proper, displaying over its gateway the legend \"Tan-la Pro-cheng-sa\" T'an-la (pronounced Talla), was the old name of Quelpart when, some 600 years ago, it was an independent kingdom, and governed by a Queen. To this day, indeed, the islanders are regarded by the Coreans as foreigners. Under the system prevailing till the present year, Quelpart was governed by a \"Moksa,\" or Prefect (literally, a pastor), residing at Chei-ju, with a \"Kunsu,\" or Warden, at Chêng-wi, and a \"Hyên-kam,\" or District Magistrate, at Tai-chêng. All these officials were under the orders of the Governor of Chulla-do. Since the Reformation, Quelpart has become an independent county or department, and a \"Koanchalsa,\" or Governor, has been appointed. Pending his arrival the former \"Moksa\" is acting in his stead, and it was to call on this official that I was being taken. He received me, not in the Yamun proper, but in a compound on the other (the south) side of the market-place. As I entered he rose and bowed, then immediately reseated himself, cross-legged, on a small square mat covered with green cloth. I sat down on the only article of furniture that at all suggested a seat, a kind of wooden grating to his right, elevated some 8 inches from the floor. The \"Hyenik's\" linguist meanwhile knelt on a mat in front of the \"Moksa,\" and handed over the despatches he had brought from Seoul; for the \"Hyenik\" had conveyed to Quelpart six persons under sentence of banishment, two for ten years, the others for life. These men were said to have been concerned in the murder of Kim Hak-o, Vice-Minister of Justice, last September. Their sentence, which, under the new rules, should also involve hard labour, seemed to trouble them little, as they made no secret of their expectation that another turn of the political wheel would shortly release them.\n\nKim Hak-o, by the way, was at one time for some eight months purser of the \"Hyenik,\" and Captain Benzenius described him as an accomplished linguist, who spoke Japanese, Chinese, and Russian, and had visited Tôkið and St. Petersburgh.\n\nThe \"Moksa\" read his despatches and talked to me, puffing the while at his long pipe, which, with its polished brass ash-tray and the inseparable brass commode, lay handy at his side. He insisted on my sharing his breakfast, and three of the little octagonal tables were brought in (the third was for the linguist) loaded with vermicelli, bêche-de-mer, and pickled vegetables, inscrutably acrid. \"Sul\" (Corean spirit) was served, hot as in China, and the \"Moksa\" emptied three cups in our honour. I can, however, indorse the remarks of the \"Shin Chosen's\" correspondent, to whom he showed himself equally hospitable: \"He was in appearance studiously simple, self-possessed, and amiable, with the air of a gentleman.\" His secretaries, who stood in a semi-circle facing him, but behind us, were dressed in the old camisole of light blue or purple; indeed, I only observed one Corean at Chei-ju who wore the regulation outer coat of black. The \"Moksa's\" own garment was of dark grey, and he had on the old-fashioned amber hat string with a jade side button. The room in which we sat was bare of everything but the articles I have described and an old halbert in one corner; opening out of it, in full view, was the \"Moksa's\" bed-room, with the usual bed-mat and small oblong pillow, pile of books, and crossed paper slips at the bed-head for memoranda. The doors to the courtyard were wide open, and were crowded with an assortment of very orderly natives. When I came out I found my Chinese servant surrounded by some dozens of them, his face beaming with satisfaction. He confided to me that the disposition of the islanders was equally friendly with that of the inhabitants of Ping-yang, whither he had accompanied Mr. Osborne last June. My brief experience pointed the same way, but perhaps I shone in the reflected light of the \"big country' man. On the other hand, the Japanese press men affirm that the people are not well behaved, and received them on their landing with abuse. This, they say, is due to the harsh treatment of the natives by Japanese fishermen, who have indeed nearly driven the Quelpart fishers from their own seas. I was told that the Awabi shell-fisheries were chiefly worked by women, who at times used to dive for pearls; and that on one occasion at least their seclusion was invaded by Japanese, and a fight ensued, in which some of the latter were killed. The Quelpart women shy of strangers more than their sisters at Chemulpo and Seoul, old traditions lingering longer in this unfrequented corner.\n\n## \n\nQuitting the Moksa's Yamên, I turned north to the city wall to see if the clouds had lifted from Mount Auckland. That giant, for such he is among Quelpart hills, is known locally as Han-la San (read Halla), and abundant traditions cluster round him. The \"Moksa\" told me that not more than one or two in 10,000 would have courage to ascend to his top, and other Coreans declared that of those who had in times past done so, the few who returned came down in a tempest of thunder and rain. It was possible, the \"Moksa\" said, in answer to my question, that a European might escape these influences, but I do not think he quite relished my proposal to come back later and try. The mountain is evidently the principal crater of the volcanic system that has raised this island, and from what glimpses I could catch of his summit, and the reports of those who, like Captain Benzenius, had circumnavigated the island, there should be little natural difficulties in climbing his sloping sides. The woods with which they are clad would probably be the chief hindrance, and the superstitious fears of the people.\n\nI went along the eastern wall of the city, accompanied by my Chinaman and a dozen or so of volunteer guides, youths of 15 or 16 for the most part, whose hats proclaimed them already married. The wall is very picturesque in parts, reminding me of the city ramparts of Wênchow in China. The mountain stream, whose embouchure forms the boat harbour, approaches the wall at this side down a wooded ravine, and passes through it in a double arch. Near the south-east corner is a kiosque, whose chief glory, according to my guides, is a slab bearing the four words, \"Snowy north, fragrant south,\" written, as they proudly informed me, by the hand of Kim Chêng-hui, better known by his nom de plume of Ch'u-sa (\"the Autumn Author\"), a calligraphist of the first half of this century, whose renown penetrated even to China. From the wall I had a good view of the neighbouring fields, if such they can be called, for they grow to all appearance little else but lava. A melancholy but not unmusical singing induced me to look over at one point, where a row of women were weeding a field in time to the chant. My guides did not quite approve my curiosity, for the reason, as far as I could gather, that the weeders were of the other--for really in this case it could hardly be called the fair--sex. Quelpart of late years has not been self-supporting. Even in good seasons, says the \"Shin Chosen,\" 2,000 bags of rice have to be shipped thither from the mainland, while in famine time 5,000 bags or more must be sent. His fellow-pressman remarks, with admirable candour, \n\nPage 722\n\nPage 439",

        "content_text": "THE HEALTH OF THE ARMY IN INDIA.\n\nAt the meeting of the General Committee of the National Union of Women Workers, held at Croydon, October 28th, 1897, the following resolution was moved by Mrs. Fawcett and seconded by the Hon. Mrs. A. T. Lyttelton:\n\nThe General Committee of the N.U.W.W. views with alarm the recent legislation dealing with Venereal Disease in the British Army in India, believing that it is likely to lead to the reimposition of the system known as the Contagious Diseases Acts which was repealed, after prolonged discussion, by the House of Commons in 1886. The Committee urges that enquiry should be made into the following points:\n\n1. The causes of the admitted steady increase of Venereal Disease in the Army in India under the Acts and Circular Memoranda from 1865 to 1888, from 212 admissions per 1,000 men to 480, as shown in the statistics and chart published recently by Lord George Hamilton's Departmental Committee, and of a similar increase in the Venereal Disease of the Army in England all the time the Acts were in operation, and until their repeal in 1886.\n\n2. The causes of the decrease of Venereal Disease in the Army in England after the repeal of the Acts from 267 admissions per 1,000 men in 1886, to 174 in 1895, but the absence of a corresponding decrease in the same period in the Venereal Disease of the Army in India.\n\n3. The possibility of providing further occupation and recreation for soldiers on foreign service, of suitably modifying their food, and of giving increased facilities for marriage.\n\nPage 135 appears to be indicated by the original text being on page 3 of the scanned document.\n\nPage 135",

        "content_text": "I exchanged calls with Mr. Hancock, Acting Commissioner of Customs, who stated that the custom-house will probably be placed on Lot A, and that the rock will be the eastern limit of the anchorage. Soundings showed a shallow patch in the position given by Mr. Ross' native informants.\n\nLot B is, so far as I can learn, still unsold, but the Hong Kong, Canton, and Macao Steam-beat Company have bought land on the bank between Kong-kun and Sun-hu.\n\nOn the 11th instant, at 10 A.M., we anchored off Chao-ch'ing city after spending the night opposite Kuang-li, a village about half-a-mile long, with few signs of trade. In the gorges leading to and from the city the current was moderate, and the only danger would be meeting rafts in the narrower places.\n\nChao-ch'ing, like Te-ch'ing, Feng-ch'uan, and Wuchou, is of very moderate size, and the space inclosed by the walls is not by any means crowded. Business is carried on in the suburbs, some 2 miles long, in front of which many junks were moored. The public buildings of the city and the temples, in one of which the telegraph office is located, are in good repair.\n\nDuring this afternoon we passed the town of Luk-po, a place of very considerable size and apparent traffic. We anchored a few miles short of Te-ch'ing (Takhing), which did not seem very busy.\n\nAt noon on the 12th May, Tu-cheng was reached. Many boats lay here, and there was a greater air of life and bustle than at any other place along the river.\n\nSome intricate navigation brought us about 4 P.M. to Feng-ch'uan, the great groves of bamboos opposite to which are noticeable, and we stopped at a salt station just within the Kuangtung boundary.\n\nThe channel thence to Wuchou showed unexpected depth, and was less tortuous than the chart indicated. The suburbs are as busy as reported, and many foreign sundries are for sale in the well-built shops. Half of the space within the city walls is taken up by a barren hill slope, and the streets of the lower portion, like the public offices, are mean and dirty.\n\nThe number of native craft met or passed on the way up was not so great as we expected. The chief cargoes seemed to be wood and grain, to which may be added cassia and some tobacco and medicines. The neighbourhood also produces a little silk and tea; but the city is in great measure simply a distributing centre, trade routes reaching to Yünnan, Kueichow, and Hunan. Most of the merchants are natives of Kuangtung, and many firms are branches of Canton houses.\n\nAt Wuchou, as at Samshui, all the foreshore sites are liable to flooding during the summer freshets (each of which, however, lasts but a few days), but Jardine, Matheson, and Co., Butterfield and Swire, and the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company have all bought land on the north bank below the city, and later purchasers will find it hard to acquire frontage. Go-downs, if built, must be raised on pillars, and, as in view of the rapidity of the current (even now 2½ knots), the crossing of the river must often be very difficult, residences will have to be placed some distance inland or else on the high ground across the Fu Ho or Little River.\n\nThe Commissioner of Customs is about to move from his boat into a temple outside the east gate. A piece of land has been bought at the east end of the suburb, but in all likelihood His Imperial Majesty's customs will have to follow the example of the li-kin and other Chinese collectorates, and make use of a hulk for examining goods. The Hong Kong, Canton, and Macao Steamboat Company have already placed two pontoons just below the native Customs hulk.\n\nSo conflicting are the local accounts of the rise and fall of the river, that any soundings taken now are of doubtful value. The northern side of the Wuchou reach from the Josshouse rocks to the Fu Ho at present offers an expanse of water, at least 10 feet deep and about one mile long by half-a-mile broad, which seems to be free from obstructions, but some say that the river is now 10 feet above winter level.\n\nThe conclusion to which I incline is, that only powerful steamers of 14 knots drawing 4 feet or less will be able to ply hither the whole year round, and it seems likely that such stern-wheel vessels as tow flats on the Upper Irrawaddy would best suit the conditions of the Upper West River.\n\nAt Samshui and this city I saw Proclamations posted notifying the people of the opening of those ports by Imperial Decree, and enjoining in very satisfactory terms the courteous treatment of foreigners. I am told that similar notices are displayed at the calling stations.\n\nCaptain Holland having expressed a desire that our flag should be shown at Wuchou as soon as possible, I did not pay or receive calls at any place on the way up, merely sending a messenger to tell the local officials that I was pressed for time, but would shortly return. Soon after our arrival here the Magistrate came on board and offered every possible assistance in a very cordial manner; while the Prefect, who sent an apologetic message yesterday, called with the Foreign Affairs Deputy this morning. These three officers give a dinner to the ship's officers, the Commissioner of Customs, and myself to-morrow.\n\nMr. Watts informs me that the kerosene oil trade has been checked by the impending establishment of a tso-li Company, which will levy 20 cents a case throughout Kuanghsi. I learn also that, so soon as the port is opened, a system of Syndicates, similar to those that hamper the trade at Canton, will be set up to levy additional duties on all articles of foreign trade at least. An emissary from the Kuangtung Li-kin Office is now here making the necessary arrangements.\n\nAt present both the Prefect and the Deputy for Foreign Affairs assure me there is neither li-shui nor tso-ku at Kuei-lin nor at Wuchou. Unless the question of additional taxation at open ports is taken up, there is serious danger of the benefit of the new Article being seriously impaired—and this, apart from the ever-present risk that, to counteract the use of transit passes, a heavy tso-li, tso-ku, or lo-ti terminal charges, not overtly differential in character, will be imposed throughout this province and the transit li-kin charges reduced.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) E. H. FRASER.\n\nPage 306\n\n \nTRI-TJELTET",

The master or other person having the control of any vessel in quarantine shall give the Health Officer or Boarding Officer such information about the vessel and the voyage and the health of the crew and passengers and otherwise as the Health Officer or Boarding Officer may require, and shall answer truly and fully all questions put to him by the Health Officer or Boarding Officer.\n\n6. When any vessel is in quarantine--\n(a) If, in the opinion of the Health Officer, any persons on board are suffering from any infectious or contagious disease they shall be removed to the Hospital ship Hygeia or be otherwise disposed of under his directions.\n(b) Where, in the opinion of the Health Officer, there are any cases he suspects to be cases of infectious or contagious disease on board, the persons suspected shall be detained on board, or otherwise disposed of, under observation, for a period not exceeding 48 hours from the time that the Health Officer completes his examination of the passengers and crew.\n(c) When the examination of the passengers and crew by the Health Officer has been completed, all who appear to him to be free from any infectious or contagious disease may be allowed to land at once.\n\n7. After the passengers and crew have been dealt with as in section 6 the vessel may be released from quarantine by the express written order of the Health Officer, after such precautions by way of burning clothing and fumigating or otherwise, as he may direct, have been carried out.\n\n8. If any vessel in the waters of this Colony is known to have any case of an infectious or contagious disease on board, or is a vessel which in the opinion of the Health Officer ought according to these regulations to be in quarantine, the Health Officer may order such vessel into quarantine, and the master or person in charge of such vessel shall thereupon hoist the Quarantine Flag upon such vessel and remove the vessel to the Quarantine Anchorage, and all the regulations applicable in relation to vessels in quarantine shall apply to such vessel.\n\n9. In case of a death happening on board any vessel in quarantine, or ordered into quarantine, or on board the Hygeia, the body shall be disposed of in such manner as may be ordered by the Health Officer; and the Master of the vessel shall carry out such orders as the Health Officer may give him in relation to the disposal of the body.\n\n10. When any quarantined vessel is in the waters of the Colony, no person shall leave the vessel, or hold communication from the vessel with the shore, or with any other vessel or boat, or take or send any person or thing whatever out of the vessel, until the express written permission of the Health Officer has been communicated to the master or other person having the control of the vessel, and such precautions as the Health Officer may require have been observed.\n\n11. When any vessel is in quarantine, no person other than the Health Officer or persons in his boat shall approach within 30 yards of such vessel, or hold any communication with such vessel or with any person on board of it, or receive, or take any person or thing whatever directly or indirectly from the vessel or from any person on board of it, without having first received the express written permission of the Health Officer, and observing such precautions as the Health Officer may require.\n\n12. ... person placed on board the Hygeia shall leave the same without first receiving the express written permission of the Health Officer, or Medical Officer in charge and observing such precautions as the Health Officer may require. No person other than the Health Officer, or Medical Officer in charge, or persons deputed by them, shall go on board or approach within 30 yards thereof, or hold on with the Hygeia or with any person in it, or receive or take anything directly or indirectly from the Hygeia or from any person in it without having first received the express written permission of the Health Officer, or Medical Officer in charge and observing such precautions as such Officer may require.\n\n14. The Captain Superintendent of Police, and any officers that he may appoint for the purpose of enforcing quarantine, may order any person leaving or coming from any vessel that is in quarantine or from the Hygeia, or taking or sending any person or thing whatever from any such vessel, to remain in or return to and to return such persons or things to their vessel or the Hygeia and may by such necessary force as the case requires compel any person neglecting or refusing to observe such order to obey the same.\n\n15. The above regulations shall not in any way interfere with the internal management of any of Her Majesty's Ships, or of Foreign Ships-of-War, or with their freedom to proceed to sea, whenever the Officer in command may deem such course requisite.\n\n16. Where any breach of any of the above regulations is committed, all the persons existing in any way in the commission of such breach and the master or other person having the control of any vessel or boat on board of which such breach has been committed, or which has been in any way engaged in the commission of such breach shall be severally and jointly answerable for such breach, and shall be deemed guilty of the same. Any costs charged or incurred by the Government for the medical attendance and maintenance of any person, whether on the ship's articles or not, who is removed to the Hygeia or any other hospital or place under sub-sections (a) or (b) of this Regulation shall be paid to the Government by the agent of the vessel from which such person is removed whether such vessel continues in quarantine or not.\n\nCOUNCIL CHAMBER,  \nHONGKONG.",

As a result of this a few weeks ago a case that had been admitted as simple diarrhoea was proved to be Enteric fever, and was duly notified.\n\nA covered gangway has been constructed between the verandahs on the first floor of the North and West Blocks of Wards, facilitating communication between them.\n\nThe kitchen has been re-floored and re-constructed, with very considerable improvements in its arrangements and equipment.\n\nAll the drains have been examined, and where defective, have been put in order, under the supervision of the hospital architect, Mr. R.K. Leigh, M.I.C.E., and of the officers of the Public Works Department.\n\nSome months ago over 250 small blankets were purchased, and have been in use in all the wards. Formerly the directors refused to sanction the use of blankets except in the Receiving Ward.

MacDonald, but is not yet in print.\n\nYour most obedient, humble Servant,\nNanci Bertie\n\nNo. 1.\n\n## Sir C. MacDonald to the Marquess of Salisbury.—(Received July 11.)\n\n**(No. 102.)**\nMy Lord,\nPeking, May 27, 1898.\n\nTHE inclosed draft Convention for the extension of Hong Kong territory represents the results of the negotiations with the Yamên already reported to your Lordship by telegraph.\n\nI cannot say that I had any great difficulty in inducing the Yamên to agree in principle to an extension of Hong Kong territory, for they recognized readily enough the necessity for it. They had in contemplation, however, only such a limited extension as would enable the British authorities to fortify both sides of Hong Kong Harbour and to defend the hills overlooking it, and expressed their hopes that my demands would not go further.\n\nThis was at an interview on the 5th April. I told them that nothing more would be asked than was necessary for the defence of Hong Kong, but I was unable at the moment to give them any precise details, for I did not myself know what was wanted. I had already applied to the Acting Governor of Hong Kong, and from him I received on the 13th April a chart showing the present limits of British territory, the maximum extension considered desirable by the military authorities, and a frontier which would be acceptable if this maximum could not be obtained. He informed me, in reply to subsequent inquiry, that a copy of this chart had been sent to the Colonial Office on the 9th November, 1894, so that I was able to refer to it in my telegrams to your Lordship.\n\nWith the chart the Acting Governor inclosed a Memorandum, by General Barker, drawn up in 1894, and his own observations on it, and copies of letters from the Hong Kong branch of the Navy League. These documents contained sundry arguments in favour of an extension of Hong Kong territory, such as the necessity for a new rifle-range and for exercise ground for the troops, the inadequacy of cemetery accommodation at Hong Kong and the like; but in view of the fact that, as far as I could estimate, the area demanded amounted to some 200 square miles, I did not think it desirable to put forward these considerations in presenting the case to the Yamên, for they would have met me with offers to give us all territory required for the purposes named. Accordingly, in the Memorandum I presented to them I confined myself to demonstrating the strategical necessity of the line from Mirs Bay to Deep Bay, shown on the Hong Kong Chart as our frontier, and of the islands to the south and west being also placed under our jurisdiction, and I supplied them with a tracing of the chart showing the limits required.\n\nI also represented the difficulty of China's position in case war were threatened between England and another Power, for she could neither grant nor refuse assent to the laying of mines on the Chinese side of the harbour of Hong Kong without giving offence to one side or the other.\n\nWhen I called a day or two later to discuss the matter, the Ministers showed that they had been far from expecting a demand for so large an extension as that indicated. I invited them to compare it with what had been leased to Germany at Kiao-chau and to Russia in Liaotung, a comparison I was able to make the more effectively that I had, through the kindness of Sir Edward Seymour, been supplied with maps drawn to the same scale of these different concessions.\n\nThe Yamên tried to put Wei-hai Wei into the balance, but I told them that Wei-hai Wei had been leased to us as much in their interests as our own, and that we would give it up to-morrow if Russia would leave Port Arthur. I was not, I said, responsible for the amount of territory asked. It had been determined by the military authorities at Hong Kong so long as 1894, and we should, long before this, have invited China to make over to us what was necessary for the Colony's safety had we not been afraid of setting an example to other Powers. The time was now opportune for China to make the concession to us without any risk of counter-claims.",

        "content_text": "## 2\n\nThe Ministers were naturally not disposed to give way without opposition, and they met my demands by sundry counter-proposals, such as that Great Britain should have full liberty to erect fortifications on the Kowloon mainland, and station troops at any points she pleased with full freedom of movement. I answered by demonstrating the inconveniences of such an arrangement, and the only point on which I agreed to consider the possibility of some arrangement was the retention of Chinese jurisdiction in the city of Kowloon. On this I shall make some remarks later on.\n\nIt took more than one discussion to secure the consent of the Yamên to the lease of so great an area as that shown in the chart, and when they had accepted it, the discussion of details began and supplied material for several more interviews. Instead of describing these in detail it will, I think, be more convenient to make observations on the various points included in the inclosed draft Convention, taking them in order as they appear in it.\n\n1. The Preamble was accepted without objection as an adequate basis.\n\n2. The question of the nature of our title to the extension of territory was more troublesome. I tried to obtain an absolute cession, but could not resist the force of the argument that all other nations who have obtained leases of territory would follow suit, which might be inconvenient for ourselves. The principle of a lease having been admitted a term of ninety-nine years seemed sufficient.\n\n3. The only part of the new boundary needing survey is the line connecting Mirs Bay with Deep Bay.\n\n4. The retention of Chinese jurisdiction within Kowloon city was the point on which the Yamen showed the greatest determination, and the concession made to them went far to reconcile them to the general demand. Apart from the fact that there were Japanese, German, and Russian precedents for such an arrangement, the Ministers, of whom two of those chiefly concerned in the negotiations were Cantonese, showed considerable anxiety as to the effect on public opinion in the Canton Province of any sudden and conspicuous change in existing conditions. If the administration of law in Kowloon city were transferred to the Hong Kong Government, the latter would, of course, be obliged to enforce a number of rules to which the population are at present not liable, and I think it probable that the Yamên was right in anticipating that this would lead to trouble.\n\nIt is not to be supposed that the city of Kowloon will long remain outside British jurisdiction with the surrounding district subject to it, but I think that no harm can result from allowing it to do so for a few years longer, and that little inconvenience will be caused by it, especially as the authority of the Chinese officials will be exercised subject to the stipulation that it does not interfere with military requirements. I should recommend that every effort be made by the Hong Kong authorities to work smoothly with these officials—at all events at first—and to induce them to cordially co-operate in all matters where their assistance is needed. I do not, as I have already said, expect the Chinese jurisdiction in the city to be of long continuance, but I should be sorry, for the sake of general British interests in China, if, after the Chinese have met our wishes in so friendly a spirit, we were at once to set to work to obtain a further concession.\n\n5. The provision for free use of the road from Kowloon city to the mainland was inserted at the Yamên's request, though I told them that the movements of Chinese officials were in no way restricted in British Colonies.\n\n6. The reservation of the existing landing place near the city was a point on which they laid much stress. I accepted it with reluctance, and it may possibly prove inconvenient, but it was necessary to make some concession in order to obtain our main demand without great friction and under pressure of threats. I hope that in view of this consideration the inconvenience, if any, will be tolerated as long as possible.\n\n7. The railway clause was introduced at a late stage in the negotiations. The Ministers said that the Chinese Government contemplated building a line from Canton to Kowloon city, and they asked for a promise that this should be allowed, on the ground that the line would not pay if it stopped some miles short of Kowloon. I said that very possibly we should build a line from Kowloon to the frontier which might meet the Chinese line, but in any case it was impossible to allow a line under Chinese control to run through territory under British jurisdiction. The Ministers then altered their draft clause to the form in which it now stands.\n\nIt is so vague as to be almost grotesque, and I thought of making it clearer by stating that the arrangements to be considered were for the extension to Kowloon, but on reflection the vagueness seemed not without advantage. It may be that the Chinese Government will build the suggested line out of their own funds, but if they try to get a foreign Syndicate to undertake it the vagueness of this clause will have a deterrent influence, whereas an English Syndicate could make an arrangement with the Colonial authorities.\n\n8. and 9. The clauses providing against expulsion or expropriation of the inhabitants, and for dealing with extradition cases need no comment.\n\n10. The last clause, regarding the use of Mirs and Deep Bays by Chinese men-of-war, is one for which I am still awaiting your Lordship's sanction.\n\nAs explained by telegraph the concession was necessary to make the Yamên agree to the lease to us of the whole waters of those bays. I had, as already explained, placed the whole territorial demand before them in a map several weeks before, and they were naturally reluctant to make at the eleventh hour the additional concessions laid down in your Lordship's telegram No. 183 of the 20th May. Moreover, they had been counting on Mirs Bay as a harbour for their southern squadron when it comes into existence.\n\nI explained to them the withdrawal of our Western frontier somewhat to the eastward as induced by our desire to give no foreign Power a pretext for interference with Treaty ports or the approaches thereto. They seemed to appreciate this, though at first inclined to suspect our magnanimity to be intended to induce them to give far more on the east side.\n\nThe American squadron in these waters made Mirs Bay their base after the declaration of war necessitated their leaving Hong Kong. I do not know whether they still use that base, but, if so, the coming into force of this Convention on the 1st July may, as I have suggested to your Lordship by telegram, be inconvenient.\n\nI have also ventured to recommend that before the Convention is signed a pledge should be given by the Hong Kong Government that they will take proper measures for the policing of Mirs Bay, and the other territory placed under their control, and for the prevention of smuggling.\n\nNo definite agreement has been made on the point with the Chinese Government, but it was understood that such measures should be taken.\n\nPrevious to the inclusion of Mirs Bay in the lease I was authorized by the Colonial Office, through your Lordship, to promise an energetic enforcement of existing arrangements, and with that inclusion the necessity for the assistance of the Colonial authorities in preventing smuggling becomes much greater. Protection of the revenue of China is not primarily the duty of the Colonial Government, but that duty is morally imposed on them by the circumstances under which they obtain an increase of territory, for our demand was based on, and justified solely by the necessity of providing for the better protection of Hong Kong.\n\nI do not mean to suggest that the Hong Kong Government would be slow to do whatever can be rightly expected from them, but I think that by pledging themselves before the extension of territory is actually assured they may find it more easy to reconcile the local public to measures otherwise perhaps distasteful.\n\nI have, &c.  \n(Signed)  \nCLAUDE M. MACDONALD.\n\n## Inclosure in No. 1.\n\n**Draft Convention for the extension of Hong Kong.**\n\nWHEREAS it has for many years past been recognized that an extension of Hong Kong territory is necessary for the proper defence and protection of the Colony, it has now been agreed between the Governments of Great Britain and China that the limits of British territory shall be enlarged, under lease, to the extent indicated generally on the annexed map.*\n\nThe exact boundaries shall be hereafter fixed when proper surveys have been made by officials appointed by the two Governments. The term of this lease shall be ninety-nine years.\n\nIt is at the same time agreed that within the city of Kowloon the Chinese officials now stationed there shall continue to exercise jurisdiction except so far as may be inconsistent with the military requirements for the defence of Hong Kong. Within the remainder of the newly leased territory Great Britain shall have sole jurisdiction.\n\nChinese officials and people shall be allowed as heretofore to use the road from Kowloon to Hsin-an.\n\nIt is further agreed that the existing landing-place near Kowloon city shall be reserved for the convenience of movement of the officials and people within the city.\n\n*Not printed.\n\n| Chinese men-of-war, merchant and passenger vessels come and go and lie there at their pleasure.

MacDonald to the Marquess of Salisbury** -(Received July 11.)\n\nNo. 102.\n\nMy Lord,\n\nPeking, May 27, 1898.\n\nTHE inclosed draft Convention for the extension of Hong Kong territory represents the results of the negotiations with the Yamên already reported to your Lordship by telegraph.\n\nI cannot say that I had any great difficulty in inducing the Yamên to agree in principle to an extension of Hong Kong territory, for they recognized readily enough the necessity for it. They had in contemplation, however, only such a limited extension as would enable the British authorities to fortify both sides of Hong Kong Harbour and to defend the hills overlooking it, and expressed their hopes that my demands would not go further.\n\nThis was at an interview on the 5th April.\n\nI told them that nothing more would be asked than was necessary for the defence of Hong Kong, but I was unable at the moment to give them any precise details, for I did not myself know what was wanted. I had already applied to the Acting Governor of Hong Kong, and from him I received on the 13th April a chart showing the present limits of British territory, the maximum extension considered desirable by the military authorities, and a frontier which would be acceptable if this maximum could not be obtained. He informed me, in reply to subsequent inquiry, that a copy of this chart had been sent to the Colonial Office on the 9th November, 1894, so that I was able to refer to it in my telegrams to your Lordship.\n\nWith the chart the Acting Governor inclosed a Memorandum by General Barker, drawn up in 1894, and his own observations on it, and copies of letters from the Hong Kong branch of the Navy League. These documents contained sundry arguments in favour of an extension of Hong Kong territory, such as the necessity for a new rifle-range and for exercise ground for the troops, the inadequacy of cemetery accommodation at Hong Kong and the like; but in view of the fact that, as far as I could estimate, the area demanded amounted to some 200 square miles, I did not think it desirable to put forward these considerations in presenting the case to the Yamên, for they would have met me with offers to give us all territory required for the purposes named.\n\nAccordingly, in the Memorandum I presented to them I confined myself to demonstrating the strategical necessity of the line from Mirs Bay to Deep Bay, shown on the Hong Kong Chart as our frontier, and of the islands to the south and west being also placed under our jurisdiction, and I supplied them with a tracing of the chart showing the limits required.\n\nI also represented the difficulty of China's position in case war were threatened between England and another Power, for she could neither grant nor refuse assent to the laying of mines on the Chinese side of the harbour of Hong Kong without giving offence to one side or the other.\n\nWhen I called a day or two later to discuss the matter, the Ministers showed that they had been far from expecting a demand for so large an extension as that indicated. I invited them to compare it with what had been leased to Germany at Kiao-chau and to Russia in Liaotung, a comparison I was able to make the more effectively that I had, through the kindness of Sir Edward Seymour, been supplied with maps drawn to the same scale of these different concessions.\n\nThe Yamên tried to put Wei-hai Wei into the balance, but I told them that Wei-hai Wei had been leased to us as much in their interests as our own, and that we would give it up to-morrow if Russia would leave Port Arthur. I was not, I said, responsible for the amount of territory asked. It had been determined by the military authorities at Hong Kong so long as 1894, and we should, long before this, have invited China to make over to us what was necessary for the Colony's safety had we not been afraid of setting an example to other Powers. The time was now opportune for China to make the concession to us without any risk of counter-claims.",

        "content_text": "## 286 \n\n2 \n\nThe Ministers were naturally not disposed to give way without opposition, and they met my demands by sundry counter-proposals, such as that Great Britain should have full liberty to erect fortifications on the Kowloon mainland, and station troops at any points she pleased with full freedom of movement. I answered by demonstrating the inconveniences of such an arrangement, and the only point on which I agreed to consider the possibility of some arrangement was the retention of Chinese jurisdiction in the city of Kowloon. On this I shall make some remarks later on. \n\nA foreign Syndicate to undertake it, the vagueness of this clause will have a deterrent influence, whereas an English Syndicate could make an arrangement with the Colonial authorities. \n\n3 and 9. The clauses providing against expulsion or expropriation of the inhabitants, and for dealing with extradition cases need no comment. \n\n10. The last clause, regarding the use of Mirs and Deep Bays by Chinese men-of-war is one for which I am still awaiting your Lordship's sanction. As explained by paragraph, the concession was necessary to make the Yamên agree to the lease to us of the waters of those bays. I had, as already explained, placed the whole territorial question at the eleventh hour on the additional concessions laid down in your Lordship's telegram No. 183 of the 20th May. Moreover, they had been counting on Mirs Bay as a harbour for their southern squadron when it comes into existence. \n\nIt took more than one discussion to secure the consent of the Yamên to the land before them in a map several weeks before, and they were naturally reluctant to give up so great an area as that shown in the chart, and when they had accepted it, discussion of details began and supplied material for several more interviews. Instead of describing these in detail it will, I think, be more convenient to make observations on the various points included in the inclosed draft Convention, taking them in the order they appear in it :- \n\n1. The Preamble was accepted without objection as an adequate basis. \n\nI explained to them the withdrawal of our Western frontier somewhat to the eastward as induced by our desire to give no foreign Power a pretext for interference with treaty ports or the approaches thereto. They seemed to appreciate this, though at first they suspected our magnanimity to be intended to induce them to give far more on the east side. \n\n2. The question of the nature of our title to the extension of territory was more troublesome. I tried to obtain an absolute cession, but could not resist the force of the argument that all other nations who have obtained leases of territory would follow suit, which might be inconvenient for ourselves. The American squadron in these waters made Mirs Bay their base after the declaration of war necessitated their leaving Hong Kong. I do not know whether they will again make that base, but, if so, the coming into force of this Convention on the 1st July, and a term of ninety-nine years seemed sufficient. \n\n3. The only part of the new boundary needing survey is the line connecting Mirs Bay with Deep Bay. I have also ventured to recommend that before the Convention is signed a pledge should be given by the Hong Kong Government that they will take proper measures for the policing of Mirs Bay, and the other territory placed under their control, and for the prevention of smuggling. \n\n4. The retention of Chinese jurisdiction within Kowloon city was the point on which the Yamên showed the greatest determination, and the concession made to them was far to reconcile them to the general demand. Apart from the fact that there were Japanese, German, and Russian precedents for such an arrangement, the Ministers, two of whom were chiefly concerned in the negotiations, being Cantonese, showed considerable anxiety as to the effect on public opinion in the Canton Province of any sudden and conspicuous change in existing conditions. \n\nNo definite agreement has been made on the point with the Chinese Government, but it was understood that such measures should be taken. Previous to the inclusion of Mirs Bay in the lease I was authorized by the Colonial Office, through your Lordship, to promise an energetic enforcement of existing arrangements, and with that inclusion the necessity for the assistance of the Colonial authorities in preventing smuggling becomes much greater. Protection of the revenue of China is primarily the duty of the Colonial Government, but that duty is morally imposed on them by the circumstances under which they obtain an increase of territory, for our demand was based on, and justified solely by the necessity of providing for the better protection of Hong Kong. I do not mean to suggest that the Hong Kong Government would be slow to do whatever can be rightly expected from them, but I think that by pledging themselves before the extension of territory is actually assured they may find it more easy to reconcile the local public to measures otherwise perhaps distasteful. \n\nI have, &c. \n\nIt is not to be supposed that the city of Kowloon will long remain outside British jurisdiction with the surrounding district subject to it, but I think that no harm can result from allowing it to do so for a few years longer, and that little inconvenience will be caused by it, especially as the authority of the Chinese officials will be exercised subject to the stipulation that it does not interfere with military requirements. I should recommend that every effort be made by the Hong Kong authorities to work smoothly with these officials-at all events at first-and to induce them to cordially co-operate in all matters where their assistance is needed. I do not, as I have already said, expect the Chinese jurisdiction in the city to be of long continuance, but I should be sorry, for the sake of general British interests in China, if, after the Chinese have met our wishes in so friendly a spirit, we were at once to set to work to obtain a further concession. \n\n5. The provision for free use of the road from Kowloon city to the mainland was inserted at the Yamên's request, though I told them that the movements of Chinese officials were in no way restricted in British Colonies. \n\n6. The reservation of the existing landing place near the city was a point on which they laid much stress. I accepted it with reluctance, and it may possibly prove inconvenient, but it was necessary to make some concession in order to obtain our demand without great friction and under pressure of threats. I hope that in view of this consideration the inconvenience, if any, will be tolerated as long as possible. \n\n7. The railway clause was introduced at a late stage in the negotiations. The Ministers said that the Chinese Government contemplated building a line from Canton to Kowloon city, and they asked for a promise that this should be allowed, on the ground that the line would not pay if it stopped some miles short of Kowloon. I said that very possibly we should build a line from Kowloon to the frontier which might meet the Chinese line, but in any case it was impossible to allow a line under Chinese control to run through territory under British jurisdiction. The Ministers then altered their draft clause to the form in which it now stands. \n\nIt is so vague as to be almost grotesque, and I thought of making it clearer by stating that the arrangements to be considered were for the extension to Kowloon, but on reflection the vagueness seemed not without advantage. It may be that the Chinese Government will build the suggested line out of their own funds, but if they try to get ...\n\n(Signed) **CLAUDE M.

Et cependant l'examen clinique, même très minutieux, de la personne qui en est atteinte donne des résultats négatifs.\n\nLes fleurs blanches ainsi que les sécrétions menstruelles des syphilitiques augmentent les chances de contagion.\n\nd) Un certain nombre de manifestations actives, spécifiques et non spécifiques, à faible développement, comme la papule muqueuse à son début, la vésicule de l'herpès, etc., échappent facilement aux investigations. Elles pourraient passer inaperçues, même si l'examen était quotidien, et la femme serait laissée libre comme ne présentant aucune manifestation morbide.\n\ne) Le développement des phénomènes qui caractérisent la récidive peut se produire dans l'intervalle qui sépare deux visites.\n\nEn résumé et en tenant compte de toutes les observations, nous sommes en droit d'établir la thèse suivante : La prostituée inscrite qui se trouve dans la période condylomateuse, lors même qu'elle ne présente aucune manifestation apparente de la maladie, met les hommes qui la fréquentent en sérieux danger de contracter la syphilis. On trouve des faits à l'appui de cette affirmation dans la plupart des ouvrages sur la statistique de la prostitution.\n\nLe Dr Sperck, de Saint-Pétersbourg, qui s'est appliqué avec un si grand zèle à faire la lumière sur l'état pathologique de la prostitution inscrite, affirme, en s'appuyant sur de sérieuses observations statistiques, que les six septièmes du grand nombre d'hommes qui ont réclamé ses soins pendant quatre ans, avaient contracté la syphilis dans le contact des prostituées inscrites condylomatenses. Plusieurs autres auteurs donnent des chiffres analogues.\n\nAinsi, même au point de vue de la pratique, la réglementation ne soutient pas la critique; par conséquent la prostitution inscrite ne peut, en aucune manière, être considérée comme assainie, et l'intervention de la police médicale manque son but.\n\nIl faut ajouter que la réglementation actuelle, basée sur les principes que nous avons énoncés, met indirectement la société dans un très grave danger. En effet, les principes scientifiques pénètrent facilement l'opinion qui s'en empare et les adopte, surtout quand ils servent de base à quelque intervention des pouvoirs publics.\n\nIl n'y a pas très longtemps que le peuple a appris l'existence du bacille tuberculeux, et cependant chacun a déjà une idée du rôle pathogène que lui attribue la science, et chacun tâche de s'en garantir.\n\n13\n\nIl fut un temps où le public, voyant la syphilis se répandre de plus en plus, attendait quelque mesure rationnelle qui le garantît de l'infection. Il accepta facilement alors l'institution de la police médicale, qui répondait exactement aux théories scientifiques de l'époque. Imbue des idées qui avaient présidé à la rédaction des règlements, la population fit bonne mine à mauvais jeu et consentit à la violation des droits de quelques-uns de ses membres. Cette violation l'aurait évidemment révoltée sans les suites bienfaisantes qu'elle en attendait. Les générations suivantes grandirent dans la conviction traditionnelle que les règlements constituaient une réelle sauvegarde contre l'infection syphilitique, que les femmes contrôlées étaient incapables de transmettre la contagion et qu'on était invulnérable tant qu'on satisfaisait ses besoins physiologiques sous la protection du système. La société vivait ainsi tranquille, bercée par cette foi qui rendait toute initiative privée superflue, détruisait tout souci de la sécurité personnelle et, par cela même, empêchait les saines notions sur la nature de la syphilis de pénétrer dans le peuple. C'est dans la jeunesse surtout que cette croyance accréditée a pris racines. L'existence des règlements et le fonctionnement actuel de la police médicale ne font qu'accroître sa confiance. Aussi voit-on une grande partie du public, des jeunes gens surtout, poussée par une foi aveugle, se diriger insouciante vers les maisons de tolérance. N'est-elle pas sous la sauvegarde du règlement ?\n\nEh bien, les résultats sont déplorables. La jeunesse est trompée par les idées traditionnelles, trompée par l'attestation fausse et véritablement criminelle qu'on donne aux prostituées. Elle trouve, dans les raisons officiellement protégées et patentées, des femmes munies de certificats de santé, dont la moitié sont infectées et inoculent leur affreux poison à des gens qui sont surtout coupables d'avoir eu trop de confiance dans la réglementation officielle.\n\nCe préjugé sur l'efficacité sanitaire des règlements est surtout répandu parmi les étudiants, qui sont le plus souvent infectés de syphilis par des femmes soumises. C'est en effet par conviction qu'ils fréquentent de préférence des prostituées inscrites; ils évitent soigneusement les clandestines et croient ainsi se défendre de l'infection.\n\nQue de scènes déchirantes accompagnées de larmes et d'évanouissements, le spécialiste praticien ne voit-il pas dans son cabinet, lorsqu'il doit poser son diagnostic et déclarer à un adolescent qu'il est atteint de syphilis ! Souvent le malheureux raconte en pleurant sa triste histoire. Il avoue parfois qu'il a contracté la maladie dans un premier rapport sexuel, qu'il a cru nécessaire d'après l'avis du médecin... \n\n107",

        "content_text": "# FRUITS.\n\nThe fruits are puneloes, pineapples, oranges, lungngans, pears, lichis, persimmons, pomegranates, nongp'is, and mangoes.\n\nJaims Shan\n\n## VEGETATION.\n\nThe mountain ranges and lower hills are covered with vegetation, and cultivation is to be found high up on the hill sides. In some places a crop of rice was found growing at an elevation of 1,300 feet, and on the northern slope of the Tai Mo Shan range, tea and pineapples were seen growing at an elevation of 1,500 feet. The range of Tai Mo Shan, stretching to the west towards Castle Peak Bay, is covered with good grass, which appeared to be such as would suit cattle, horses, and sheep, many thousands of which could find pasturage on the slopes of these hills. At present, cattle are used entirely for agricultural purposes. The animals seen were small and well-shaped, and generally black or red in colour. Their good condition showed the excellence of the pasturage. In the poorer and rocky soil, the hills are covered with bracken and ferns, and in the sheltered ravines with brushwood and scrub jungle. There are no extensive forests, but some of the lower hills are clothed with pine trees, and round many of the villages are found thick clumps of well-grown trees and groves of bamboo.\n\n## CULTIVATED LAND.\n\nThe valleys between the hills and the land between the bases of the hills and the sea are all under cultivation. It is impossible, in the absence of any reliable statistics, to form an accurate estimate of the extent of land under cultivation. The land registers of the district, which ought to be a reliable guide, are worse than useless, as they contain not more than half the land under cultivation. When the Chief Secretary of the Land and Revenue Department of the District was pressed on this point, he stated that the land under cultivation was about double the amount shown in the registers.\n\nThese give the land under cultivation in the San On District, on which taxes are paid, in round figures, as 420,000 mau,† or, say, 60,000 acres, the double of which would make 840,000 mau, or 120,000 acres. Taking the area to be leased as three-fifths of the whole of the district of San On, the total extent of land under cultivation in that area would amount to 504,000 mau, or 72,000 acres. The total area of the new territory is 376 square miles, or 240,640 acres. Deducting the land under cultivation, viz., 72,000 acres, from the total area, 240,640 acres, leaves a balance of 168,640 acres available as Crown land.\n\nThis calculation presumes that all the land under cultivation is owned by private individuals, but from inquiries made, there is reason to believe that a considerable portion of cultivated land is held without any proper title, and that most of, if not all, the land reclaimed from the sea has never been officially reported to the Government. Both classes of land, though fairly large in extent, have hitherto, it is understood, evaded the payment of taxes.\n\nThe land question will be a difficult one to deal with, and as it will affect practically the entire population, the members of which are particularly sensitive on the subject of their holdings, it should be taken in hand at once, and settled as quickly as possible.\n\nTo do this effectively, and in a manner that will be satisfactory to both the Government and the owners of property, it will be necessary to hold an inquiry into each title. Such inquiry will involve an accurate survey of each holding, and, as the quantity of land held by individuals is, as a rule, very small, it will require much time and labour to complete the necessary surveys.\n\nI recommend that, as soon as the territory has been taken over, a notice be issued informing the inhabitants that all claims to land must be filed in the Land Office within a period of six months, and that all lands not claimed within that period will revert to Government.\n\nWherever a claim is lodged, an inquiry into the title of the claimant should be held, and, if that is satisfactory, a survey of the land in question should be made.\n\n* For Views of Valleys, see `Album I.`, Nos. 10, 17, 20; `Album II.`, Nos. 9, 10, 12, 16, 17, 23.\n† 661 mau = 1 English acre. For convenience of calculation, 7 mau have been taken as the equivalent of 1 acre.\n\nTo facilitate a speedy settlement of the land question, a large staff of surveyors should be engaged for the first year or two.\n\n## ISLANDS.\n\nThere are thirty-three islands within the leased territory. Some of these are uninhabited, and most of them are very small and of little or no importance.\n\nThe total area of the islands is 90 square miles, and the estimated population is 3,720.\n\nThe small islands, if inhabited, contain a few fishermen only, and are not cultivated. The six chief islands are:\n\n| Island | Population |\n| --- | --- |\n| Paing Chau | 400 |\n| Ma Wan | 400 |\n| Lantao | 6,860 |\n| Ping Chau | 600 |\n| Cheung Chau | 5,000 |\n| Lamma | 460 |\n\nThe island of Lantao is about 15 miles long and 5 miles wide, being considerably larger than the island of Hong Kong, which is about 9 miles long and from 2 to 5 miles broad. Along the west coast are several towns and some cultivated land up to the base of the hills. These hills, which are really a continuation of the southern range of the mountain system of the San On district, present a most imposing appearance, and contain lofty peaks, the highest of which rises to an elevation of 3,050 feet. The two most flourishing towns in Lantao are Lung Chung, containing nine villages, the inhabitants of which are engaged in agriculture and fishing; and Tai O, the busiest town on the island, with a population of 3,000. It is a great fishing centre, and owing to the large number of fishing junks and other vessels that visit it, the shopkeepers seem to do a flourishing business. The only representatives of the Chinese Government on the island are two military officers, one, a captain, stationed at Tung Chung, the other, a lieutenant stationed at Tai O, subject to the colonel commanding stationed at Tai Pang on the mainland. The island of Lantao contains magnificent building sites, and, as it is only five miles from Hong Kong, and open to the south-west monsoon during the hot months, it is not unlikely that the residents of Hong Kong may during the summer make use of the island, the fine white sandy beaches of which afford excellent sea-bathing.\n\nThe island of Cheung Chau is a busy place, at which many of the steamers, boats, and junks plying between Hong Kong and Macao call. There is a station of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs on this island, as there is also on the island of Ma Wan, commonly known as the Kap Shui Mun Station (see `Map XI.`). The anchorage at Cheung Chau affords good shelter, especially during an easterly gale.\n\nThe island of Lamma, called by the Chinese Pok Liu, is four miles long and two wide. Near its centre, it is so narrow that it is only a quarter of a mile across. The best bay is Picnic Bay, on the east side, which affords secure anchorage for a vessel in about 6 fathoms of water. The island has four villages, the largest of which has a population of about 250.\n\nThe island of Waglan, situated to the south-east of Hong Kong, has a lighthouse on it, which is at present under the control of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs, and which will, I presume, in future be placed under the Harbour Master of Hong Kong.\n\n`Admiralty Chart No. 1180` (`Map V.`) gives clearly the size and position of all the islands within the new extension.\n\n## POPULATION.\n\nThere are no reliable statistics possessed by the Chinese Government of the present population of the San On District. No census appears to have been taken for many years. It has, therefore, been necessary to base an estimate of the population on inquiries made from the inhabitants of the villages and on personal inspection of the villages themselves. With these as guides, it is estimated that the population of the new territory, including the Sham Chun and Sha Tau Kok divisions, and allowing 5,000 ...",

        "content_text": "Fah Ling Kok. 353 川 (2) cannonade; and smooth bores very rusty. The Chinese do not consider this fort to be of any value, but use the barracks behind the guns. On the mainland are two forts;— Su ah Mud Fort is situated at an elevation of 80 feet on a spur. It is built of masonry and has barrack accommodation for 50 men. It is armed with one 17 Centimetre Breech-loading Krupp and one English R.M.L. very antiquated and unserviceable. On the land side, there are three smooth bores; the Krupp is clean and in good order.\n\nLing Kok is situated at the base of a hill and is entered from the back by steps leading down from barracks higher up the hill. The armament consists of three antiquated smooth bores. The Barracks would hold thirty men. Although the Amoy Garrison consists nominally of 4000 men, in reality, the number does not exceed as many hundreds of well-drilled men.\n\nThe armament has not been examined by an artificer since it has been mounted. Four rounds are fired every year from the larger natures of ordnance.\n\nThe only forts of any real value are Owlce and Pwan Shek, but I consider that at present, there would be little or no risk in a ship entering Amoy Harbour and taking the town.\n\nProposed additions to Defences.\n\nThe Total of Amoy intends to make Amoy into a first-class port if possible. He proposes to build a dock and erect an arsenal. He therefore wishes to secure the harbour from attack by strengthening its defences. To do this effectually would mean the fortifying of the islands of Taetan and Tsingsu, the entrance being 7 miles wide and quite impossible to protect effectually by Forts on Amoy Island and the mainland. To fortify these islands would, however, involve a large expenditure of money and require a considerable increase to the Garrison for them to be effective; they should be capable of holding their own against a strong Naval Attack.\n\nThe other alternative is to fortify strongly the Northern portion of the outer harbour by means of additional forts and by withdrawing men and guns from useless positions.\n\nI would therefore propose:-\n\n1. That Fort Rehshik be abolished and the 17 C.M. Krupp gun it contains be removed to Su ah Mud.\n\n2. That additional protection be given to Fowlee by means of iron pallisading and that three Maxims be placed there.\n\n3. That a battery of 2-9.2 B.L. be erected at ChinPah Kwan How Shau, which is situated midway between Fowlee and Pwan Shek and marked A on the chart. I would propose that only 6 feet of cover be given to the detachments and that the fort should consist only of a ditch and parapet; the glacis to be guarded by barbed wire entanglement and the ditch to have iron pallisading placed in it. This pit would enfilade Fowlee and bring a strong fire to bear on the channel. It also enfilades the island of Kulangsu.\n\n4. That a battery of 2-6 inch B.L. Vickers' Q.F. Guns be placed behind Liau Kan on the hill Pung Lok Sik. These guns would also enfilade Fowlee and bring a strong frontal fire on the channel.\n\nThis fort is marked B on the chart.\n\n5. That a battery of 2-6 inch B.L. Vickers' Q.F. Guns be placed on the island of Kulangsu at a height of 300 feet. These guns shoot down the centre of the harbour, enfilade Fowlee, and also bear on all the unprotected water marked C on the Chart.\n\n6. That 1-9.2 B.L. and 2-6 inch B.L. Vickers' Q.F. Guns be placed on...",

Confidential.) My Lord,\n\nPeking, June 13, 1899.\n\nI HAVE the honour to transmit herewith copy of a despatch from Her Majesty's Consul at Canton, reporting on French proceedings at Kuang-chou-wan, illustrated by a sketch map.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) H. BAX-IRONSIDE.\n\nInclosure in No. 1.\n\nConsul Mansfield to Mr. Bax-Ironside.\n\n(No. 25. Confidential.) Sir,\n\nCanton, May 30, 1899.\n\nI HAVE for some time been trying to get some information as to the doings of the French at Kuang-chou-wan, and have at last gathered a few items from the owner of a large steam launch which is now flying from here under the Inland Waters Regulations. I inclose a sketch map taken from the Admiralty Chart and other sources to illustrate my remarks. The dotted red lines show roughly the ground at present occupied by the French, but there are indications that very considerable extension is shortly contemplated. The civil officer in charge is M. Louis Massé, lately \"Administrateur des Affaires Indigènes\" at Vinklong, Cochin China. As is generally the case in French Colonies, there is much friction between the Military and Civil Administrations. M. Massé has just started on an expedition nominally for surveying purposes right across the Peninsula to Umpo (An-pu). He is accompanied by 150 men and 2 field guns. This bears out a remark which was dropped by the French Consul in conversation with me that they had or were going to extend their territory across the Peninsula. I asked him if they were going to take the whole Peninsula and Hainan, but he said \"No;\" that these places were of no value. It seems, therefore, very probable that their objective is the whole of the coast line of Kuang-tung from Umpo to the Tonquin frontier with territory stretching north to the West River, possibly as far as Nanning-fu. M. Doumer, the Governor-General of Indo-China, is expected in Kuang-chou-wan with the Admiral this week, and I am told an additional force of 500 men is due there shortly. The present force is said to be 3,000 men, French and Annamese, and they are encamped on Nan Chou Island, at Sha Ton, a small town near the entrance of the river or inlet which forms the commencement of the boundary between the Kao Chou and Lei Chou Prefectures, and elsewhere. The feeling among the natives towards the French is extremely hostile, and the latter have the greatest difficulty in obtaining labourers.\n\nThere is no town of importance in the territory so far occupied, and no foreign bottoms ply to the port except men-of-war and the large steam launch from here. Negotiations are going on to subsidize this launch, so as to establish regular communication with Macao or Hong Kong.\n\nThe prefectural city of Lei Chou, which is so far outside the French territory, lies some 15 miles up a navigable river, and is a town of some 5,000 inhabitants. The river has been surveyed by the French. There is a fair amount of trade which is carried entirely in junks, the principal articles of export being dunnage mats, used for packing sugar, and grass cloth, the rhea grass for which is grown in the neighbourhood. Cattle, pigs, and ponies are raised in the Peninsula, which has good grazing grounds, and to my surprise, I was informed that sheep also flourish there. Some time ago, I was informed that the natives of Lei Chou were very anxious that the port should be thrown open and that it was proposed that some of the Notables should present me with a petition on the subject offering every facility to foreigners who would go there. The petition has not, however, made its appearance. The idea was, no doubt,\n\n[2140 c-4]",

Here is a rewritten version that adheres to the guidelines:\n\n## Step 1: Reformat the text into standard Markdown\nThe original text is a jumbled mix of words and phrases. To reformat it, we need to identify the sentences and paragraphs.\n\n## Step 2: Correct spelling errors\nUpon closer inspection, we can see that there are several spelling errors, such as \"Famegering\" instead of \"Farming\", \"fawreyining\" instead of \"favoring\", \"Wlobed\" instead of \"Willed\", \"genista Sond\" instead of \"Genista Sound\", \"Cannabine\" instead of \"Cannabis\", \"Chambelan\" instead of \"Chamberlain\", \"Fourgn\" instead of \"Foreign\", \"Fazz\" instead of \"Fax\", \"Chiria\" instead of \"China\", \"chard\" instead of \"charter\", \"themaise\" instead of \"the more\", \"simfl\" instead of \"simply\", \"Les R. Kur\" instead of \"Leslie R. Cur\", and \"atum\" instead of \"action\" or \"datum\" or more likely a mis-OCR of a date or abbreviation like \"actum\" but it is not clear, \"Rettouse\" is unclear.\n\n## Step 3: Fix spacing issues and rejoin broken sentences\nThe text has several spacing issues, with words and phrases run together. We need to add spaces to separate the words and rejoin broken sentences.\n\n## Step 4: Restore paragraph breaks\nThe original text appears to be a single block of text. We need to identify the paragraph breaks and restore them.\n\n## Step 5: Indicate missing words\nThere are several places where words appear to be missing. We can indicate these with `...`.\n\n## Step 6: Format in Markdown\nUsing the corrections and reformatting, we can rewrite the text in Markdown.\n\nHere is the rewritten text in HTML as per the final instruction:\n\nwithdrawn then forth wholly and prone be Breton under British jurisdiction in all respects; Farming discretion to favoring contrived New Order in town at Fo ... that effect will be issued.\n\nGenista Sound home additional reinforced fall statement Cannabis If expenditure caused by Occupation and Chamberlain Encluse ...

In regards to the Western Boundary, the difficulty is greater. \nIn the sketch maps attached to the Convention of 1895, the western boundary is made to run north from Un Long Wan of Lan-tao along the meridian of 113° 52′ E longitude, which was supposed to touch the mainland near the western end and the south-westerly point of the promontory which forms the western boundary of Deep Bay.\n\nBut in fact, it has now been found that 113° 52' E longitude passes to the west of this promontory, without touching it, and therefore without meeting the westernmost point in the foreshore of Deep Bay. Some modification of this track of the boundary is therefore absolutely necessary.\n\n## 10. The longitude at the extreme southernmost point of the promontory of Deep Bay\n, as is shown on the Admiralty Chart sent herewith, marked A in red on this chart, was found to be 113° 53′ 29″ E. The adoption of this meridian for the boundary is, however, disadvantageous in that it would pass seaward and would exclude an island which lies about midway between the island of Lan-tao and the point at which the meridian cuts the mainland.\n\n## 41. Mr Chamberlain fully appreciates the objections of Lord Salisbury. The Intelligence Dept is to make the Western Boundary northward from Lan-tao follow the Meridian originally selected (113° 52') to a point, marked on the map herewith sent, to the west of the South Westerly point of the promontory, and thence to turn it directly East till it meets the foreshore.\n\n## 12.

That the Secretary of State is glad, but cannot entertain the proposal to appoint Sir Clementi to an office in the 2nd Class of the service over the heads of officers in the 3rd & 4th class & that if there is no Senior Officer in the Hongkong Service, it would be gratifying to promote an officer from the lower ranks.\n\nThe fact, as shown in the attached chart, is that there is no likelihood of being able to promote from the lower ranks. I have attached a chart that shows this.\n\nCPT `L(x)—12435--2000-1-99`  \n`22317--3000-10-99`\n\nIt cannot help saying that it appears to be a serious breach of good order if Mr. Clementi asked him to write that letter, as it offends against the S. of S's circular of Dec. 1897. The attempt to use influence is strongly deprecated.\n\nDraft for consideration by Sir Sry M. Ommanney & Private Secretary: \"to see draft C.Pd 28/11 at once\"",

C. Hospital, Hongxing, 7.7.0 \n## Resumé of Mr Barlow's case\nMr Barlow was an In Patient in this hospital from 24 Jany to 14th February with hepatitis. The attack was preceded by dysentery and on admission there was increase in the liver dulness with tenderness on pressure and a temperature chart very suggestive of pus. He, however, recovered entirely for 2 months and was discharged quite cured & continued so when he went to Singapore for a trip. On steamer into hospital there with dysentery. The temperature began before leaving the hospital and continued to be of a remittent type till his return to Hongkong, and to Hospital on 2nd June. He now had as an extra symptom great pain over the region of the spleen, there was at no time any increase in the splenic or hepatic dulness. The temperature slowly improved and after going through another attack of dysentery, in hospital he left quite cured on the 2nd July. In view of his past history and his condition of anaemia he was at once granted a medical certificate for leave home.\n\n## Note by Dr. Wright, Headmaster of Queen's College, Hongkong\nI have great pleasure in certifying that Mr Wilfred C Barlow Mr of Edinburgh has been working as Assistant Master at Queen's College Hongkong for over eleven years. My memory will not provide the exact date of his appointment by the Secretary of State for the Colonies. Mr Barlow has borne the highest character for punctual and indefatigable discharge of his duties. His assiduity, stimulated by zeal and personal interest in his pupils, has been rewarded by excellent results. I have found Mr Barlow especially valuable as a teacher of Mathematics including Bookkeeping in Examinations. I should have no hesitation in saying that he is fully capable, but unfortunately there is no demand in China for Classical subjects, which he is also fit to undertake.\n\nG.

Laurie, Institutes & Art of Education, University of Edinburgh\n\n[This page is to be reserved for any report which the Governor may make when sending the form to the Colonial Office.]\n\n## I have made careful inquiries about Mr. Barlow \nwho is a clever and capable man, quite capable of occupying positions other than that of Schoolmaster with credit. As a teacher he is not a first class disciplinarian, which may be accounted for by certain physical difficulties. I would support personal interviews with Mr Barlow who is at Strathyre, Asslake.\n\nGovernor.\n\n11 Jany 1901",

It has been pointed out to the Commissioners, by several persons, that the City of Victoria is really divided into two Towns and the effect of the recent purchases by the Military Authorities has been to make things worse than they were before, both in regard to their having turned out a number of people having to seek for some other places in which to live and carry on their businesses, and that from the fact of their having dispossessed and turned out all these people from the Queen's Road they have more than ever divided the Town into two complete parts.\n\nThe land now occupied by the Naval and Military Authorities is extremely valuable, and has for some time been steadily increasing in value, and, although it might not be advisable to put the whole of the land into the market at once, yet with the present increasing population of the Colony, it would be rapidly absorbed, and the Government would not only get the premium for it, but a large Crown Rent.\n\nIn addition to this, as soon as the land is covered with houses the Government would get a large amount for rates. There are other measures which could be carried out, in the event of the Government arranging for the Naval and Military Authorities to give up a sufficient quantity of the land they now occupy, such as tramways, reclamation of the foreshore, and other reclamations advantageous to be effected, all of which would tend to increase the general revenue of the Colony.\n\nIf the Naval and Military Authorities even gave up only the land to the North of the Queen's Road it would be very much to the public advantage.\n\nSooner or later, the Commissioners think that, if the population continues to increase, it will be absolutely necessary, with the increasing want of space and value of land, that the space occupied by the Naval and Military Authorities will have to be relinquished in consequence of the pressure of population in the adjoining portions.\n\nThe Commissioners, while attaching the greatest importance to the views of Military experts, especially to those of so competent and liberal-minded an officer as the present Major-General Cameron, C.B., are not convinced of the necessity of cutting the City into two parts. They venture to think that other positions might be found, which, with the aid of speedy communication that might be obtained, would be equally advantageous for all military purposes, and for the protection of the City, looking to its peculiar configuration, and would be prepared to suggest what they would consider to be suitable sites for the whole barrack accommodation, inclusive of officers' quarters and bungalows for married officers, and parade grounds, if there was the slightest chance of inducing the Military Authorities to consider the advisability of removal.\n\nI also think and have thought for many years that both for the Naval and Military establishments far more suitable positions could be found. I would suggest, Causeway Bay and the hills to the East of it for the Military, and the West side of the Kowloon peninsula for the Navy, and the special object of my present communication is to call the attention of the Government of the Colony to the chance which seems to me to offer now for making a final effort to recover for the Colony the very valuable piece of ground in possession of the Admiralty. The question of the War Office land will come into another letter now in course of preparation.\n\nThe Admiralty are now in possession in the heart of the City of some ten acres of land instead of the 44 acres they were in occupation of in 1886. This additional area has been acquired from the War Office as the result of certain arrangements recently made between the Government of the Colony, the War Office, and the Admiralty. To this ten acres, they are about to add by reclamation from the sea rather better than 28 acres and within this additional area they are preparing to construct a 550 feet dock and a floating basin. My suggestion is that the works at present in progress should be suspended forthwith and that the entire Naval establishment should be transferred as speedily as possible to a far superior site at Kowloon, extending from the present Naval establishment at Kowloon northward to Yau Ma Ti. The premises at present covering an area of 3,300,000 square feet or 122 acres occupied at Kowloon covers 82 acres so that my proposals if accepted will put the Admiralty in possession of 130 acres of land in one block and unite all their different establishments in one place, including a Tidal Basin of 22 acres (or 1/4 acres larger than the one now under construction) with ample room for 3 graving docks 600 feet, 500 feet and 300 feet long respectively on the blocks) in addition to which there will be more than sufficient room for workshops, store sheds, offices and future extensions.\n\nI send herewith a chart of the harbour showing the present position and area of the Naval Yard with the proposed extension thereof coloured dark yellow and showing (coloured green) the Naval Yard where I suggest that it ought to be and showing the vastly increased area of land at its disposal there.\n\nThe present site, even after the completion of the proposed extensions seaward, is so placed that no extension landward is possible: Any further extension seaward will be difficult. The proposed basin and dock will not be capable of enlargement or extension. The Kowloon site is completely sheltered from the prevailing winds. It will afford room for a basin nearly three times the size of the basin now designed and for three docks instead of one. There is deep water close too, and every facility for further deepening the channels of approach and the anchorage by dredging and the inclusion of Mount Cochrane in the proposed site will afford ample room and a commanding position for residences and offices.\n\nIn reply to questions submitted for his consideration in 1886 by the Land Commission, Commodore (now Admiral) Morant, then in charge of the Naval Establishments in Hongkong, placed on record the following expression of his views: \n\n\"I am of opinion that it would be advantageous to the public service if the Naval Yard Establishment could be moved from the present site in Victoria to the West side of the Kowloon peninsula, as at present we are very much cramped for room and there is no depth of water alongside our pier; and having already stores and the Torpedo Establishment at Kowloon great inconvenience, besides considerable amount of extra expense, is entailed by having two establishments so far apart from one another.\"\n\nThe position most suitable is from the Police Camber at Kowloon to the Naval Yard, but this land is now in the occupation of the Kowloon Wharf Company. There is however an alternative site not so advantageous in point of depth of water but which by reclamation could be made available viz., the bay North of the Kowloon Yard which if filled in and a sea-wall built from the present outer wall of the Kowloon Naval Yard to the point opposite with the adjacent unoccupied land would make a very efficient establishment and being in a ring-fence, so to speak, more supervision would be exercised at less cost. My present proposal covers this latter site and gives the Admiralty much more land than was embraced in Commodore Morant's memorandum, as the northern boundary is carried to the outskirts of Yau Ma Ti, and the Hill is included.\n\nI respectfully suggest that before the works at the Naval Yard proceed further these suggestions of mine should be carefully considered and formal proposals made to the Admiralty for an exchange of their present holdings in the centre of Victoria for the site indicated on the plan sent herewith. Such an exchange will give them eight times the area they at present possess and three times the largest area they can acquire on this side even after completion of the extensions now in hand. I am afraid that these extensions will not be as easily or as cheaply carried out as was anticipated and will not prove so very valuable when completed. Judging from the nature of the adjoining land a considerable portion of the basin and dock will have to be excavated in solid rock and the strong currents in that part of the harbour will render the entrance and exit of vessels from the dock a work of difficulty and danger. The works have not yet proceeded so far that they cannot easily be abandoned and the Colony, if the exchange were carried out, could well afford to compensate the Admiralty for any monies expended up to date.\n\nNeed I point out the immense advantage to the Colony and to the Treasury of the exchange? I assume that, if terms can be arranged with the Naval Authorities,",

The Praya can then be prolonged from Murray Wharf to the Blue Buildings as indicated in the chart herewith. The present naval premises with the land to be reclaimed in front of it will give 960,200 square feet or 22.08 acres of available land. The removal of the military establishment to Causeway Bay or some other less central position will give some 887,000 square feet or 20.40 acres of level land, in all 1,847,300 square feet or 42.48 acres. The gain will probably be much greater as in time all the 84 acres of military ground in the centre of the City can be acquired. Six millions of dollars is a fair estimate of the net value of the naval land alone in the shape of premia, to say nothing of the immense addition to the income from Crown Rents and Taxes. But the money value is the least important portion of the profit to the Colony from the proposed exchanges. This area of building land in the very heart of the City will do more to obviate the dangers arising from overcrowding than ten times the area to the eastward or to the westward. Furthermore, East and West will be brought into closer contact. There will be one city instead of two and instead of one narrow thoroughfare three wide and handsome avenues will unite the two parts of the city, giving every facility for easy communication by Trams or otherwise.\n\nI most respectfully urge upon His Excellency the Governor the expediency of taking prompt action in this matter. If the exchange proposed cannot be carried out now, before substantial progress is made with the Naval Yard extension, it will be impossible to effect it later on. All the circumstances seem to be favourable at the present moment and all the local authorities more or less well disposed. The gain to the Colony will be so immense that almost any price might safely be paid for the exchange. About seven-eighths of the land proposed to be given in exchange is the property of the Government. The other eighth would have to be resumed and compensation paid to the present owners, that would absorb two millions and a quarter of dollars at the outside. If the Admiralty should demand the refund of the monies already expended on the works for the extension of the Naval Yard so far as they have gone, or that might have to be disbursed as compensation to the contractors for removing their plant and machinery, the Colony can well afford it. The total money cost would be nothing compared with the value of the land and the gain in health and freedom of locomotion in the Colony.\n\nI append memorandum shewing approximate figures, as far as it is possible for me to arrive at them, and I hope His Excellency will get them verified by the Director of Public Works before accepting them as final.\n\n## Memo shewing approximate Value of Land to be given and taken in Exchange in connection with Naval Yard.\n\n| Description | Area (square feet) | \n| --- | --- |\n| Area of present Hongkong Yard | 425,250 |\n| Proposed Extension to Praya | 534,950 |\n| Total | 960,200 |\n| Value after deducting cost of filling in &c., at $6 a square foot, 960,200 square feet x $6 | $5,761,200 |\n| Area of Government ground proposed to be given up to Naval Yard at Kowloon in addition to present possession there and including Mt.

        "content_text": "SIR,\n\nENCLOSURE 6.\n\nC.O.\n\n568\n\nHongkong, 20th June, 1901.\n\nAUG OF\n\n1\n\nIn reply to your letter No. 1,380 of the 12th instant, with which, by direction of His Excellency the Governor, you forwarded to me copies of reports by Commodore Powell and Mr. Ordish on my proposals for the removal of the Naval Establishments from their present position in the centre of the city to Kowloon, and in which you asked me to forward, for the information of His Excellency, any observations I might have to make on these reports, I have now to submit, for the consideration of Sir Henry Blake, certain criticisms and remarks on these reports which, after consultation with my professional adviser, Mr. Wm. Danby, M. Inst. C.E., and after full inquiry, I think will be found relevant and worthy of consideration.\n\nThe Commodore's report appears to be distinctly favourable. He accepts my proposals in principle and recognizes to the fullest extent the advantages to arise from the concentration of the whole of the Naval Establishments at Kowloon. He further admits the disadvantageous nature of the present site with its divided area and lack of room for further expansion. His chief objection to the Kowloon site is based upon what I believe to be an erroneous idea as to the amount of dredging that will have to be undertaken to clear the front of the new Naval Yard and to the probability that continuous dredging will be required to keep the water at the same depth and prevent silting up.\n\nIn my comments on Mr. Ordish's report I deal fully with this question. I am assured that the initial cost of dredging will be by no means so great, and I feel assured, from the information given me and from my own knowledge of the ground, that continuous dredging will not be required. In the fifty years since the earliest charts of the Harbour were made, the depths along that part of the Kowloon shore are practically the same, as will be seen on reference to the Admiralty chart of 1845 and that of 1894.\n\nThe Commodore further calls attention to the openness of the proposed site to westerly winds and to the effects of the typhoon in November last. He also refers to the insufficiency of the water supply at Kowloon,\n\nThis latter defect I admit, but a remedy is now in course of being applied, and in a much shorter period than it will take to transfer the Naval Yard to Kowloon that deficiency will have been amply supplied, and Kowloon will luxuriate in even a more abundant supply than is now attainable in Hongkong.\n\nAs to the exposed nature of the site, there is no portion of the harbour that may not at some time be exposed to the violence of wind and sea.\n\nAll depends upon the precise direction from which a typhoon approaches the Colony and upon the nearness at which it passes, but I feel sure that, upon an examination of the records for the last sixty years, it will be found that far more and more severe assaults have been made by storms on the present Man-of-War Anchorage and upon the present Naval Establishments than on any portion of the Western side of Kowloon. Only thrice in 10 years has a typhoon passed near the Colony on such a course that the strength of the wind has been felt on the Yau-Ma-Ti side. The great majority of typhoons develop the greatest force of the wind from North-East and East and work round to South-East and South, from which directions the West side of Kowloon is perfectly sheltered. In all the severe typhoons, especially in that of September, 1874, the greater portion of the loss and damage suffered has always been along the North-Eastern face of the city and about the present Man-of-war Anchorage. The waters to the West of the Kowloon Peninsula have always been the typhoon anchorage and the recognised place of refuge for craft of all sizes. For many years the Princess Charlotte and the Victor Emanuel and the gunboats were moved in May or June from the Hongkong side, and remained during the whole of the typhoon season under the shelter of Kowloon. No place is absolutely safe, but the safest has always been that portion of the harbour North of an East and West line through Kowloon Point and West of that peninsula.\n\nAs to the Commodore's requirements for the creation or preservation of a reservation for Europeans to the East of the proposed Naval Yard site on the other side, to prevent the possibility of the Naval Establishment being too closely surrounded by Chinese and Chinese habitations, and to permit of the European employés being comfortably housed, there can be little difficulty in providing for",

Fully one-half of the extent of the new Naval Yard will be bounded on the East by the War Department ground, which will afford ample protection, and the rest is bounded partly by land still in the possession of the Government and partly by one or two leasehold lots that can easily be acquired. This furnishes the required belt.\n\nThe question of the shifting of the Man-of-War Anchorage need not be discussed at present, although I think that as a matter of convenience it may have to follow the Naval Yard. There are no reasons why the anchorage should not be moved.\n\nI do not propose to enter upon any detailed consideration at the present time of the payments to be made by the Colony to the Admiralty in the event of the removal being carried out. It seems premature. It may, however, be noted that while the Admiralty would have a fair claim to be reimbursed the monies expended, within the last few years, in alterations and extensions to the Naval Yard or in preparation therefor—expenses necessarily thrown away if the Yard is removed—it is not so easy to see that it would have any reasonable grounds for asking that the Colony should bear the expenses of the new installation.\n\nAs to the Commodore's last suggestion that it is the city which should be transferred to Kowloon and not the Naval Establishments, I am afraid that is out of the question. The money sunk in land and buildings in Victoria and at the Peak is too vast to permit of such a change. Time may give us a Birkenhead on the other side of the harbour, but then there will be two cities, one on either side, and not one.\n\nTo pass from the Commodore's letter to that of Mr. Ordish, Superintending Civil Engineer in charge of the Naval Yard Extension, I propose to deal with the questions raised by him in the order in which he puts them forward.\n\nIn the first place, it is clear that he recognises fully the disadvantages of the present site and its inability, even after the proposed extensions and with the addition of Military property not now in the possession of the Admiralty, to satisfy the demand for a Naval Establishment in Hongkong sufficient to supply the requirements of the fleet in the Far East. It is congested now. It will be equally congested, he says, after the proposed extensions have been made. The Military ground is needed even now, if proper provision is to be made for the concentration of the stores scattered through the Colony. Even the acquisition of the Military property will only suffice for present needs and will leave no room for further extensions, the necessity for which can, even now, be foreseen.\n\nMr. Ordish admits that the area offered at Kowloon is ample both for the present and the future.\n\nIn my remarks on the Commodore's letter, I have, I think, sufficiently dealt with the question of the relative exposure of the two sites to damage from storms and typhoons, and need not repeat myself here. I only call attention to the use by Mr. Ordish of the phrase \"open sea.\" The waters of this harbour are so completely landlocked in every direction that it is difficult to understand in what sense he uses the phrase. It may be noted that very little damage was done ashore on the 10th November last and no damage would have been done afloat but for the very unexpected nature of the blow coming so late in the year, no preparation whatever having been made to meet it.\n\nMr. Ordish must, I think, have failed to study with sufficient attention the character of the shores in the immediate neighbourhood of the proposed site. From Kowloon Point to Mount Cochrane, there has always been deep water close inshore on the West side of the Kowloon Peninsula. That shore and the Southern side of Stonecutters is being eaten away rather than being filled up.\n\nIt is only immediately in front of Yau-Ma-Ti and in the bays to the North of that village that deposits accumulate and the water tends to shoal.\n\nA comparison of the earliest and latest charts of the harbour will show this clearly. Dredging will have to be done undoubtedly, in front of the site of the proposed Naval Yard, but by no means to the extent suggested by Mr. Ordish. Dredging has to be carried out in front of the present Naval Yard and forms part of the present scheme of extension. A larger superficial area will have to be dredged at Kowloon, but owing to the nature of the material, I doubt if it would be as expensive as that required for the present Naval Yard. The Naval authorities want a uniform depth of 30 feet. From an examination of the chart sent herewith, it will be seen at a glance that, except in the portion coloured pink, there is already more than that depth of water. The area coloured pink, which will have to be dredged to give the Admiralty a uniform depth of 30 feet at the least, is 19.25 acres, the average depth of excavation being 6.4 feet only. The quantity to be removed is say 1,860,000 cubic yards, and I am assured that, with modern dredgers and local labour, the cost should not exceed 50 cents per cubic yard, or $1,000,000. Several deep borings have been made over this area and neither boulders nor sheet rock has been met with.\n\nIn any case, it is fair to say that, so far as dredging and maintenance to the required depth is concerned, the Admiralty will be put to no more expense at Kowloon than they will be at Hongkong.\n\nMaintenance will cost nothing. The depth of water in front of the Wharf Company's premises has been unaltered for many years, nor is there any appearance of any silting up, although the Company's Wharves would, at first sight, appear likely to facilitate it.\n\nFurther, I have the authority of Mr. Gillies and of the Manager of the Cosmopolitan Dock at Sam-Shui-Po for stating that, during the many years they have known this Dock and site (and that is since it was constructed 28 years ago), no silting of any kind has taken place to their knowledge, either in front of the Dock or between it and the West side of Stonecutters' Island.\n\nMr. Ordish's point as to possible future overcrowding of the neighbourhood of the new Naval Yard by Chinese dwellings can easily be provided against as already indicated.\n\nMr. Ordish questions the statement, in my original letter to you of the 2nd of May on this subject, that much of the work at the present Naval Yard will have to be done in the solid rock. I have made close inquiry and am assured, on very competent authority, that my original statement was well founded. I also pointed out that docking large vessels in the dock now under construction would probably be attended by danger from the strength of the currents running backwards and forwards along the face of the Yard. This statement is denied. I am assured that, whatever markings may be found on the chart, the currents will be found decidedly strong on the line of the northern face of the Dockyard extension, carried out some considerable distance, as it will be, into the harbour, and I may remind you, Sir, of the difficulties attending the repairs to H.M.S. Victorious at The Dock, Hongkong, because of the currents across the entrance to the Dock. The Company refused the work because of the great risk, and the Admiralty, rather than assume the risk, sent the vessel to Japan to be docked in the Imperial Dock at Yokosuka.\n\nMr. Ordish, in his letter, proposes two alternative sites for the new Naval Yard—one just inside the entrance to the Lyee-moon, the other in Hunghom Bay. As to the first, I am sure that the Government would deal very liberally with the Admiralty if it determines to move the Naval Yard to that position, but it is needless to consider the question in detail as the Commodore, I have no doubt, for very good reasons, does not approve of this suggestion.\n\nAs to the alternative scheme of a Naval Establishment in Hunghom Bay, there are two patent objections to it. First.—There is no spot in the Colony more exposed to the ravages of a typhoon. The strength of the wind is in most cases from the North-East. A tremendous sea rushes in on that beach through the Lyee-moon. Secondly.—A Naval Yard in that position would seriously interfere with the Dock Company's premises and with the facilities for access to the existing Docks and Slips. The front of any Naval Establishments there would have to be carried out to the Cust and Rumsey rocks at the least, and would cover nearly half of the frontage of the Dock Company. Neither, in the interests of the Navy nor of the Colony, is this proposal within the limits of practical politics.\n\nLastly, I have to deal with Mr. Ordish's estimate of the liabilities to be incurred by the Admiralty should it be ultimately decided to accept the proposed transfer to Kowloon and to the question of the payments to be made by the Colony in aid.\n\n7",

        "content_text": "4\n\nhis colleagues-the Kowloon, Lappa, Samshui, and Wuchow Commissioners--to discuss the matter in the way suggested and propose any workable compromise. To be of any use proposals ought not to be made without a full knowledge of the subject, nor will they do away with difficulties unless they are locally acceptable, approved of by the Chinese officials, and not detrimental to the interests of the Chinese traders. One of the first things that we ought to be possessed of is a detailed chart of the Canton waters, showing the various official points at which passing boats or merchandize are taken cognizance of, whether Customs, li-kin, or other, and tariffs and regulations ought also to be got.\n\n2. You will see that the Minister suggests immediate action regarding passengers, It will be well to attend to this at once. Is there any written rule in existence? What is really the practice? And ought there to be a positive and permissive regulation? I rather think Li Chung-tang, when Viceroy, was opposed to permitting passengers to embark and land everywhere.\n\n3. With the proposals we ought also to be supplied with copies of the present regulations, both Customs and Inland Steam Navigation-explanations of the present practice as regards registration, control, and movements of inland steamers-and also the numbers registered for inland traffic under each flag.\n\nSir,\n\nam, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nROBERT HART,\n\nInspector-General.\n\nInclosure 5 in No. 1.\n\nn\n\nMr. R. Breden to Sir R. Hart.\n\nShanghae, March 28, 1901. I HAVE received the inclosed despatch and correspondence annexed to it from the Inspector-General, concerning questions of trade on the West River, raised by His Britannic Majesty's Minister, which questions he has handed over to me to be dealt with on lines which the despatch lays down in a general way.\n\nmy\n\n2. I have already pointed out in the inclosure of Circular Memorandum, No. 19, p. 16 I (f) that the West River is likely to come up as a subject of discussion with the Powers, and you have yourself already given some consideration to the matter, and possibly discussed it with the local authorities.\n\n3. In any action to be taken in the matter one has to bear in mind three points :- (1) that the West River question is only to an extent a local one; (2) that fiscal and Customs changes having a general effect over all China, and probably having a very special aspect in the Kuang Provinces; and (3) that local arrangements which may of necessity have to be made now should be made to as limited an extent as is really necessary for the time being, and should be framed with a view to their not impeding and not being at variance with the larger schemes of general and local importance which we foresee the almost certainty of.\n\n4. The duty which the Inspector-General's despatch imposes upon you, as I read it, is twofold: (1) to find a modus vivendi in certain connections pointed out in the despatch of the British Minister and in Messrs. Jardine, Matheson, and Co.'s letter to him; and (2) to prepare and have ready for the Inspector-General against the time when the big question comes up, all the information which can be collected regarding the trade, routes, taxation, &c., under the now existing conditions in the Kuang Provinces; what exactly is wanted you will readily gather from the Inspector-General's despatch to me.\n\n5. What is actually pressed for at the moment is some settlement of certain questions raised by Jardine, Matheson, and Co. affecting the West River trade with Canton, the question of trade with Hong Kong and Macao being left for consideration later.\n\n6. Yesterday, at my request, Mr. Inglis, the local Head of Jardine, Matheson, and Co., and Mr. G. W. Sheppard, till recently the firm's agent at Wuchow, called upon me to discuss the grievance they feel themselves labouring under, and the points they consider call for remedy :\n\nfrom\n\n(1.) They state that they want the privilege of landing and shipping passengers their steamers everywhere and anywhere along the river. The Inspector-General does not think there is any objection to this proposal, and has said he knows no rule prohibiting it, The former Viceroy, Li Chung-tang, after consultation with Mr. Schoenicke, laid down the dictum that no such privilege could be accorded, presumably holding that no trade-other than such as the I.W.S.N. Rules allow to vessels trading under them--is permissible to foreign vessels anywhere but at the Treaty ports.\n\n5\n\n285\n\nI suggested to Mr. Inglis that passenger traffic might be permitted at named places, as is the case on the Yang-tsze. Although he stands out for \"everywhere\"--as does also the Governor of Hong Kong-I imagine \"named places\" liberally specified would meet the case.\n\n(2.) They complain that by a local taxation arrangement special classes of goods are practically prohibited from being carried in foreign vessels from Wuchow, and they give cassia as a case in point. I inquired from Mr. Sheppard if he could give me any infor-mation about other articles besides cassia, the steamer shipment of which was restricted by any local rule or tax system; he could not recall any. I assume, therefore,\n\nthat this particular form of grievance does not extend to many articles, and I think it possible we could arrange as a provisional measure and for a limited time some arrange-ment by which cassia, &c., can be carried by the steamers under a special covering docu-ment, until a plan can be devised by the provincial authorities for doing away with the existing restrictions entirely.\n\n(3.) Messrs Jardine, Matheson, and Co.'s great grievance, however, is, that the pro-vincial authorities, by allowing native steamers to tow native vessels under rules of their own, which are entirely independent of and more liberal than those which both the West River and I.W.S.N. Regulations force us to act upon, practically monopolize all the trade, both inland and interport, and render freight carrying by foreign vessels under the Imperial Maritime Customs impossible.\n\n7. From what I have been able to gather I am inclined to believe that launches in the Canton district which trade under licences issued by the Canton Shan Houc-hu, and of which a certain number trade on the West River and the inland waters leading to it, do to all intents and purposes, either directly or by towing native boats, what our reading of the I.W.S.N. Rules does not consider legitimate, i.e., a combined interport and inland trade, both cargo (generally in towed boats) and passenger (on the steamer herself). Trade carried in native vessels fulfilling native tax requirements is perfectly free between ports and inland, and the towing of these vessels by a steamer, even if that steamer is not registered with us for inland trade, does not make the trade irregular or illegitimate unless we assume that all steamers going inland must be registered with us, a view which the action of the Shan Hou-chü does not seem to support,\n\n8. To put the thing bluntly, Messrs. Jardine, Matheson, and Co.'s statement that the native system does permit what the Inspector-General's despatch quoted in the Blue Book says may not be done, i.e., the carrying on an interport and inland trade by the same steamer, seems to have appearance of plausibility; we believe we act up to the law. Jardine, Matheson, and Co. practically say the Chinese authority evades it, and evades it expressly to divert the trade from foreign vessels and Imperial Maritime Customs control to the provincial advantage.\n\n9. I have pointed out to Mr. Inglis that it might be possible to allow the firms interport steamers to do the inland trade with towed junks as the native steamers do, provided these junks stopped at all li-kin stations, and were placed fully under Chinese local control en route.\n\nMr. Inglis objects that such an arrangement-suggested, I admit, to give an appearance of legitimacy--would only involve expense, trouble, and delay in doing a business in a make-believe way by a native tow, which might be just as well and more easily done by the steamer itself.\n\n10. Messrs. Jardine, Matheson, and Co.'s suggested solutions of the question (a) that all the local trade of the West River, including interport, should be done as inland water trade instead of as Treaty Tariff trade; or (b) that all the trade done with steam, either direct or by towing, should be transferred bodily to us, seem, however desirable in themselves, too sweeping to attempt by local arrangement-though failure to effect the latter will pretty surely lead to its being forced on the local officials through the capital--I cannot offer any suggestions on this point. You can only work on the lines you find the Consuls and provincial authorities willing to accept, and report in detail what you have done, and where you have made a success or a failure.\n\n11. Regarding the maps called for, the one recently compiled at Canton by Mr. Nielsen will serve as a basis. I am taking steps to have it photo-lithographed here, and if it can be successfully done will send you some copies.\n\nI am, &c. (Signed) R. E. BREDEN,\n\nDeputy Inspector-General.\n\n0",

M. ATKINSON, Principal Civil Medical Officer.\n\nHEPATIC ABSCESS DUE TO MALARIA—OPERATION—RECOVERY.\n\nAn officer of the Garrison was admitted to hospital on the 7th December suffering from fever of 3 days' duration. The patient was a strong young man with only 3 months' foreign service, all in this Colony. He had never had dysentery or malaria before and was a very abstemious person. His tongue was furred, temperature 103.4 with enlargement and tenderness of the liver. Blood slide showed numerous malignant quotidian parasites. Under quinine in various forms and doses and saline purgative he improved somewhat, the chart however being very irregular 100 to 101 or 104, occasionally normal all day and parasites being sometimes present (4th, 13th, 22nd February and 8th March) and at other times absent (12th, 18th, 19th and 24th January and 25th February). The liver dulness diminished considerably but still remained enlarged somewhat and tender in one spot. On the 28th February an exploratory puncture showed the presence of pus and the usual operation was performed. After the operation the temperature still kept up in an irregular manner rising to 100.8 or 103 in the evening—a small piece of necrosed rib was removed and on the 1st April the temperature fell to normal and kept so throughout. The patient began to mend and put on weight and left for home on the 1st May with a small sinus still discharging.\n\nRemarks.—The cause of the liver abscess seems to have been the malaria which was very obstinate notwithstanding frequent and large doses of quinine. The presence of parasites in the blood was rather puzzling and took one's attention off the hepatic condition.\n\nPROBABLE PYONEPHROSIS DUE TO CALCULUS—WITHOUT PAIN OR FEVER.\n\nA German aged 56 was admitted on the 21st of December. Patient looked ill and seemed much older than the age he gave. He stated that he had been suffering from dysentery in Manila and had come over to get stronger. His stools were liquid and bile-stained and were about 5 or 6 a day and this diarrhoea throughout was quite unaffected by treatment. His blood showed no malaria and he complained of no pain anywhere throughout the illness. His temperature varied between 96 and 98.4 during his illness. His urine was examined on several occasions and was always normal save on the last occasion, 6 days before death, when \"a faint trace of albumin\" was reported. He slowly became more and more drowsy but was easily roused for his food and medicine. His lips and mouth were frequently covered with thrush. He passed his motions in bed throughout. Towards the end he became delirious and very irritable. The case was seen by several medical men and the diagnosis of auto-intoxication confirmed, the absorption probably taking place from an old dysenteric ulcer. The treatment consisted in liquid diet, stimulants and various antiseptics. He died on 17th February.\n\nPost mortem.—Intestines much atrophied but no signs of dysentery. Liver cirrhotic. Heart and lungs normal. Right kidney enlarged and lobulated. Left kidney had a small stone firmly blocking the ureter, pelvis dilated and full of pus, the abscess cavity extending into the substance of the kidney.\n\nMALARIAL COLITIS SIMULATING APPENDICITIS—RECOVERY.\n\nA German soldier was brought to hospital by his medical attendant to be operated on for appendicitis on the 2nd April. He had been ill for three days with constipation, fever (102°), furred tongue and offensive breath. The abdomen was very tympanitic and tender more especially over McBurney's point. His bowels had not acted for four days, his temperature was 102.4, pulse 110. On the following day he was still very tympanitic and tender and the least pressure in the neighbourhood of the appendix elicited much pain. There was frequent vomiting and dulness in both flanks. His temperature was 101.4 and a blood slide showed numerous non-pigmented ring-formed parasites (malignant quotidian). After several doses of saturated solution of magnesium sulphate the bowels acted copiously and the stools were full of \"jelly-like\" material. Under quinine grs. 5 every 4 hours and saline purgatives he slowly improved, vomiting ceased, tongue cleaned and the distension and tenderness disappeared and the temperature became intermittent 99 in the morning and 101° in the evening. The quinine was reduced to 5 grains ter die but in 48 hours the symptoms recurred, pain more especially in R. iliac fossa extending to the region of the bladder and the stools were again full of \"jelly-like\" mucus. The quinine was ordered to be given every 3 hours, hot fomentations applied to the abdomen and a quinine enema (30 grains) given every night. In 48 hours the patient was much improved and the temperature fell to normal and remained so.\n\nDulness and a sense of resistance in the R. iliac fossa continued for some few days but eventually cleared up. Patient was discharged quite well on the 1st May.\n\nGENERAL PARALYSIS OF THE INSANE—RECOVERY AFTER THREE YEARS.\n\nA German sailor was admitted to the Asylum from the Gaol on 9th April, 1898. He had been several times in Gaol for petty thefts (kleptomania) and on the last occasion the Medical Officer considering he was \"silly\" transferred him to the Asylum. For several months he was under observation without any definite symptoms save that he was decidedly silly, laughing constantly and for no apparent reason, &c. He was sent to a general ward in the Civil Hospital where in a day or two complaints were made by the other patients of his stealing all and everything he could find and hiding them away, sitting up all night writing (the writing being unconnected and mostly rubbish), putting on several suits of clothes, &c. On re-admission to the Asylum he rapidly became worse, noisy and violent and full of delusions. His ideas were all of an extravagant type. He was at times Emperor of Germany, Queen of England, President U.S.A., &c., owned stores and stores of money, millions of ships, &c.\n\nHe required a bullock for each meal, barrels of beer and 1,000 of cigars. This stage lasted for a long time and for over two years he was the noisest lunatic we have ever had, incessantly talking and shouting and hardly ever sleeping. He became very dirty in his habits and very troublesome as he had a delusion the walls and floors were covered with arsenic and it was his business to clean them with his head and mouth and it was extremely difficult to prevent him doing this. At times he ceased to be violent and noisy and was extremely liberal to his attendants, giving them gold, silver, jewels and ships, &c. His pupils were unequal and presented the Argyll Robertson phenomenon. No history of syphilis was obtainable though on the chance he occasionally had iodide of Potassium but as he resented any medicine under the impression they were poison, it was not persisted in. His weight fell from 162 lbs. to 124 lbs, but he slowly regained it towards the end and weighed 172 lbs. when he left. Slowly his violent attacks diminished in frequency, his appetite returned, and his delusions ceased to be marked up to 11th November, 1900, when he had a series of fits of an epileptic nature with a very feeble pulse. After this the cure became more rapid and more marked so that in July he was allowed out daily and went round visiting his friends, the Consul, &c. and returning daily to the Asylum. He left on August 22nd, 1901, for Germany looking well and apparently free from all delusions.\n\nRemarks.—A cure from this disease being very rare, the case is recorded. There was no doubt of the diagnosis as he was seen by several medical men who all agreed as to the nature of the illness.",

        "content_text": "The improvement was so gradual and so marked that one is justified in looking upon it as a cure and not a remission.\n\nMALIGNANT MALARIA WITH OBSTRUCTIVE JAUNDICE.\n\nA European sailor from a coasting steamer was admitted on 28th June.\n\nHis temperature was 100, conjunctivæ jaundiced, left lobe of liver very tender and constant vomiting; a blood slide showed numerous malignant quotidian parasites. The jaundice became rapidly general and the vomiting very persistent; under hypodermics of morphia the latter symptom subsided, but the patient became delirious and rapidly sank, dying on the 2nd July. The temperature was normal in the morning and 104 in the evening of 29th, normal all day 30th, 105 in the morning and 102 in the evening of 1st.\n\nPost mortem,--Jaundice deeply marked all over. Gall bladder slightly distended but no obstruction could be made out. Brain congested and excess of fluid. Spleen enlarged and soft. Smear from this organ teemed with malarial parasites.\n\nCHRONIC PANCREATITIS JAUNDICE-DEATH.\n\nAn engineer was admitted from a steamer on the 30th May, 1901, deeply jaundiced and dying. The only history obtainable was that he had had jaundice for over a year but had been doing his duty up to a few days before his admission. He was deeply jaundiced all over, temperature 101, quick almost uncountable pulse and great dyspnœa. He was put to bed and given stimulants but died a few hours after, passing a large tarry stool just before death.\n\nPost mortem--Gall bladder was much distended and full of bile; intestines full of blood. Pancreas very much enlarged and hard, being about double the average size and weighing eight ounces; head was firmly adherent to the common bile duct and intestines. Section of pancreas was stained and showed a large increase in the connective tissue but no recent hemorrhages.\n\nMALARIA COMA-PREMATURE BIRTH-DEATH.\n\nA Chinese prisoner in about the 8th month of pregnancy was suddenly seized with a fit at the 3 Gaol on 1st June, 1901. When seen she was quite unconscious, with contracted pupils, deep stertorous breathing, insensitive conjunctivæ and small feeble pulse. Under the idea she was suffering from uræmia she was transferred to the Maternity Hospital. On arrival she was in much the same condition, temperature 100, and passing her urine unconsciously. By means of a catheter a specimen was obtained--1015, acid, trace of albumen--3.3% urea. The following day she was slightly better and could be roused by loud shouting and tried to do what she was told (put out tongue, &c.). The urine contained albumen with blood corpuscles and blood casts. Labour came on naturally, the child, however, being dead. On the 3rd the temperature was 103, urine normal, patient again more unconscious--a blood slide showed large numbers of malignant quotidian parasites. Ten grains of quinine hypodermically were given night and morning but without any drop in the temperature which on the 4th went up to 106.8. As the patient was quite unconscious and evidently sinking, lumbar puncture was performed and the tube left in for 48 hours. Under ice packing the temperature fell to normal at midnight. The blood next morning was still full of malaria, though the patient was much better and more easily roused. The quinine was increased to 15 grains twice daily hypodermically and a mixture of Tinct. Ferri XV and Quinine gr. II given every two hours. The patient, however, slowly became more unconscious, the temperature ranging between 101 and 105 till the 7th when she died, temperature 106. Throughout urine and fæces were passed unconsciously.\n\nPost mortem.--Heart and lungs normal save for some old adhesions at right base. Liver cirrhotic, 2¼ lbs.; kidneys normal but much congested; spleen 5 oz.; brain soft and congested but no increase in the fluid either at base or in ventricles; blood smear from spleen teemed with parasites.\n\nINTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION DUE TO STRICTURE OF RECTUM.\n\nA married European female, aged 31, was admitted to hospital on August 21st. She was quite well up to the 20th, when she was seen by a medical man who prescribed a pill (Pil. Hydrarg. grs. III, Pil. Coloc. Co. grs. IV) for vague abdominal pain and vomiting. On admission her temperature was 102.4, with furred tongue, tympanitis and tenderness all over the abdomen, but more especially in the right iliac region; malignant malarial parasites were found in the blood. Her previous medical history was good, though there was a history of an attack of dysentery in 1895 but no abdominal trouble since. The vomiting continued throughout; the rejected matter consisting of green \"spinach-like\" material and never fæculent. Bowels did not respond to enemata, salines or small repeated doses of calomel. On 24th she was examined under chloroform but nothing definite could be found to account for the symptoms. There was no dulness in the right iliac fossa and nothing was felt per rectum. On 25th her condition was the same and as the tympanitis was distressing and the vomiting continued a small trocar was inserted into the intestines and a quantity of fetid gas escaped with a certain amount of relief. On 26th, as her condition was decidedly worse, laparotomy was performed. The intestines were much congested and distended; there was no appendicitis and no cause was found to account for the distension. She slowly sank and died the same day.\n\nPost mortem.--No peritonitis or appendicitis. Intense enteritis.\n\nThe whole of the small intestine and the large intestine as far as the sigmoid flexure were distended and at the lower end of the sigmoid flexure a stricture was found, the intestine being contracted to the size of a goose-quill. On cutting through this constriction it was found to be due to the cicatrisation of a dysenteric ulcer with thickened and indurated edges. There was no tubercular disease anywhere.\n\nPage 224\n\nRemarks.—The case is interesting on account of the obscurity of the cause of all the abdominal symptoms. The temperature was accounted for to a certain extent by the presence of malarial parasites (malignant tertian) in the blood. Although the patient was a delicate woman her condition could hardly be attributed to the aperient she had taken. The puncture of the intestine with the smallest trocar in Potain's aspirating case afforded relief and did not induce the slightest local inflammatory trouble.\n\nHEPATIC ABSCESS-OPERATION FOLLOWED BY GUMMA OF THE LIVER-RECOVERY.\n\nA French sailor, 42 years of age, was admitted on June 7th, having been ill 15 days with fever. His temperature on admission was 101; liver much enlarged with distinct fluctuation in front. The abscess was opened, the walls stitched to the skin and a tube inserted. It healed rapidly but the temperature still ran an intermittent course, being normal in the morning and 102 or 103° in the evening. On the 13th, malignant parasites were found in the blood and 5 grains of quinine given every four hours. This brought the fever down to normal in a few days and he soon put on weight and was waiting for a passage home when on July 29th the temperature again rose with parasites in his blood (after he had been out on leave for the first time). There was also a distinct tumour of the liver below the ribs which was hard and not tender on pressure. Notwithstanding quinine every 3 or 4 hours the temperature still continued an irregular course, rising to 100 and occasionally to 103 in the evening. On August 11th, he was aspirated but no pus found. A distinct specific history having been obtained he was put on Potass. Iodid. grs. xv ter die. The temperature almost immediately fell to normal and continued to, and the swelling slowly but markedly disappeared.\n\nHe left for Europe on 9th September looking and feeling well, his weight having risen from 8st. to 8st. 7¼ lbs. and without any trace of hepatic enlargement.\n\nINTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION DUE TO PLAGUE-DEATH.\n\nAn English boy aged 11 was admitted to hospital on the 9th September. He had been taken ill two days previously with a sharp pain in the abdomen for which a dose of castor oil was prescribed which however only set up vomiting immediately after being taken. On admission his temperature was 102.7, foul tongue and pain in abdomen, chiefly in right iliac fossa where there was a distinct sense of resistance on pressure. His temperature continued between 102 and 104 till the 11th, with great abdominal distension and pain. On this day a papular eruption was seen chiefly on forehead and back of ears. In the evening slight delirium was noticed for the first time. On the 12th the condition was much the same with frequent vomiting (bile and blood), very fœtid breath, epistaxis and abdominal distension, and from this onwards no further action of the bowels occurred. There was dulness in both flanks. The stools were liquid and bile-stained. There was distinct tenderness and dulness in the right iliac fossa where a distinct tumour could now be felt. In the evening the enema contained only a trace of fæces. The morning temperature was 100 and a few malignant malarial parasites were found in the blood. The evening temperature was 101.8 and the pulse varied between 88 and 92. The case became slowly worse, pulse 120 to 180, vomiting, constipation and great distension, and a trace of albumen in the urine till the 14th--8th day of illness--when the temperature rose to 105, and the patient succumbed.\n\nPost mortem.--Small intestine normal. Spleen hard and firm. No appendicitis. Large intestine (cæcum) swollen with hæmorrhagic extravasation into the walls for about 3 inches causing almost complete obstruction. Mesenteric glands swollen and hæmorrhagic. Retroperitoneal extravasation well marked. Slight amount of bloody fluid in abdominal cavity. Spleen and glands full of typical plague bacilli; a culture of which was injected into a guinea pig and produced death with plague bacilli in internal organs.\n\nRemarks.--No idea of plague was ever thought of in diagnosing this case which was looked upon at first as being one of malarial colitis or appendicitis, and the patient was treated accordingly with purges and hypodermics of quinine. Fortunately for various reasons no operation was attempted. Authorities on plague mention the possibility of mistaking the disease for appendicitis but such a case as this is worth recording owing to the very definite tumour and complete obstruction produced.\n\nCOMPOUND FRACTURE OF FEMUR-AMPUTATION--DEATH FROM TETANUS.\n\nA European sailor was knocked down by a heavy sea on the 10th December and sustained a compound comminuted fracture of the lower end of the right femur. On arrival here, six days after the accident, the man was brought to hospital. The wound was thoroughly cleaned, some jagged ends of bone removed and an endeavour made to save the limb. As the temperature chart pointed to septic infection, amputation was decided upon, and assisted by Staff Surgeon NOLAN, R.N., and Surgeon WALLIS, R.N., at 11 a.m. on the 20th, the limb was removed. Just previous to the operation the patient complained of stiffness in the jaw muscles and inability to open his mouth. To our regret smears taken from three places in the wound showed tetanus bacilli. The patient stood the shock fairly well and at 1 p.m. was conscious, the spasms short and frequent, and the pulse fairly strong. At 4 p.m. he had a severe spasm which almost raised him off the bed, and died suddenly.\n\nRemarks.--The extreme rarity of tetanus following operations here makes this case worth recording. It is extremely difficult to account for his having been infected on board a ship as the bacillus is generally looked upon as an earth germ and the steamer had not been carrying manure, horses or other animals as cargo. Immediately after the injury everything seems to have been done to keep the wound clean and the limb at rest by means of Carbolic lotion and an improvised splint.",

In further reference to paragraph 2 of Sir William Gascoigne's Despatch No. 259 of the 18th. of June, I have to state that Mr. Newland who is in charge of the Cadastral Survey of the New Territory proposes on the completion of that survey, to compile from it and from the topographical survey made by Mr. Tate, a general map of the New Territories on a scale of 2 to the mile.\n\n3. This map will not include the island of Hongkong, while the portions of the New Territories which have not been surveyed by Mr. Tate, namely, Lamma Island, the Po Toi Group of Islands, the North shore of Mirs Bay and some of the unimportant outlying islands will be added to it from the Admiralty Chart.\n\n4. The preparation of this map was taken into consideration\n\n**THE RIGHT HONOURABLE JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,** &C...",

There is therefore no reason to doubt its sufficiency for purposes of navigation.\n\nThe re-survey required is, therefore, merely an early stage in the operation of deepening the harbour, which no doubt will be carried out by the local Government. I should feel obliged if Your Excellency would communicate to me what share of the expense due to a re-survey the Colonial Government proposes to take. I may be permitted to refer to the last paragraph of my remarks of the 19th January 1903, showing that His Majesty's Ships are not so directly interested in the improvement of the harbour as is the mercantile marine.\n\nHis Excellency  \nSir Henry A.

But the latter of the two suggestions quoted above is of considerable importance to the Colony. In view of the antecedents of the question, it is hardly surprising to find that the Chamber of Commerce and the Governor are raising strenuous objections, on the ground that the measures proposed would be fatal to the freedom of the Port.\n\nSir Henry Blake has made a further suggestion, viz., that Customs officers should be carried on board the steamers to examine the cargo en route. But he appears to favour the idea of making Kongmoon a Treaty port; and this course is being recommended by the Canton Commissioner of Customs, who wishes to have several ports of call opened.\n\n(After an exhaustive search, I have quite failed to discover Kongmoon unless it is \"Kum Sing Han Harbour - 22°22' N., 113°37' E.; see Admiralty chart of the Canton River, herewith).\n\nWe shall no doubt hear a good deal more about these proposals later on.

This led to the correspondence enclosed.\n\n3.- In order to see how rights, formally granted and unquestioned for years, are being infringed until they are in effect abrogated, it is necessary to go back to 1858. On 2nd October of that year, the Hongkong Government Gazette published \"the boundaries of the anchorage set apart by direction of H.E. the naval Commander-in-Chief for Vessels of War\" and also a letter from Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, dated 1st October, which stated that \"the naval Commander-in-Chief wishes it (the anchorage) to be understood as appropriated for ships of war; but at the same time, desirous of the Admiralty.",

This was published in the Government Gazette.\n\n4.-If there had been any doubts of the authority of the Governor to set apart a special portion of the harbour as a man-of-war anchorage they were completely removed by the issue of an Ordinance in 1882. This instrument included an additional safeguard against improper use of the special anchorage by directing that no vessel or boats of any description should anchor in it without first obtaining the special sanction of the Harbour Master.\n\n5.-This precaution was of course due to the necessity of preserving the efficiency of the general principles of the harbour police. The effect is that before any vessel or boat can anchor or moor in the man-of-war anchorage the special sanction of the Harbour Master must be obtained before asking permission from the Senior Naval Officer to go to any particular spot in it.\n\n6.-I should be under an obligation to Your Excellency if you could have this made clear, it being evident from the recent occurrence that Sir Michael Seymour's courteous desire to help merchant-vessels is in danger of being construed into a right even to them to encroach on the man-of-war anchorage against the direction of the Senior Naval Officer.\n\nI have, etc.,\n\n(Sd) Cyprian A.G.

Barnes Lawrence, Harbour Master. The proposal to make a permanent obstruction on Kellett's Bank has, as you may be aware, been frequently brought forward by the Military Authorities with a view to lessening the width of the Western Entrance to the Harbour for defence purposes. At one time a rough stone breakwater was suggested but this was considered by Lord Knutsford in his Despatch No.147 dated the 5th September, 1888, as out of the question. The deposit of dredged material from the Harbour on the bank would be a more practical method of obtaining an obstruction there.\n\n6.\n\nI regret that I see no chance in the near future of putting in hand any such scheme of dredging operations, as that tentatively suggested in paragraph 39 of the Report, estimated to cost a total of £900,000 (say $10,800,000) spread over a period of 10 years. In fact it will be all the Colony can do to provide funds within that time for the completion and extension of the Water Supply Schemes in hand, for the completion of the Public Buildings under construction, for necessary Resumptions of Insanitary Property in Victoria, for laying out Kowloon so as to prevent it from becoming as insanitary as Victoria, for providing additional Prison Accommodation\n\n1st August, 1904.\n\nYou\n\n85",

Colonial Secretary,\n\n{\n\nMr. Boulton's investigations are of great value in determining an approximate cost of dredging the harbour, and in paving the way for definite action, as the Hon. Director of Public Works claims for them.\n\n2.\n\nThe dredging required, as shown on Chart 'F', corresponds pretty accurately with my predecessor's views, with which I concur. I think, however, that the area off Yaumati should not be less than 5 fathoms deep in any portion. This water is fairly well protected as an anchorage ground, and should a railway terminus eventually be established on the mainland in this vicinity, it is reasonable to expect that goods may be shipped on the deepest draught vessels.\n\n3.\n\nThe creation of an island on Kellett's bank, as mentioned in paragraph 40, appears to me a very sound suggestion. It should assist imperial needs if connected with Green Island, and create a stronger flow of tide through Sulphur Channel, tending to prevent silting in this neighbourhood.\n\n4.\n\nThe proposed channel off the North-West corner of Lamma Island, paragraph 41, may, I think, be regarded as an outside consideration, at any rate for the present. Should it become necessary for vessels to use the East Lamma Channel when coming from the South, there would be little loss of time. A light, say on Ma Kong Island, would perhaps be necessary to take a ship into the ray of Green Island Light, which alternative might be considered in due course.\n\n5.\n\nReferring to paragraph 42 of the Report, I gather from previous papers that the Admiralty are not likely to undertake a fresh survey of the harbour without at any rate some very cogent reason. It is possible, however, that a perusal of Mr. Boulton's",

D. 273 of 1908, I have to point out that the latest Admiralty Chart to hand, viz., No. 3429, of 1904, West Lamma Channel, shows an apparent improvement in the depth of the water off the North-west corner of Lamma Island, at the point to which I drew attention in paragraph 41 of my report of 30th July, 1904.\n\nReference to the title of the chart, however, shows that a new zero has been adopted for the soundings. This zero is 4.03 feet below mean sea level, or about 1.5\" higher than the zero used by the \"Rambler\" during the last survey of the Harbour; and a glance at Chart No. 1466 of 1902 shows that the older survey was imperfect.\n\nThe change of zero, and the perfecting of the survey, is sufficient to account for the alteration in the contours. It is not likely that any scouring has taken place.\n\nI have shown by red lines on the new chart, the positions occupied by the 3 fathom contours on the old chart (No. 1466 of 1902).\n\nI have compared the contours at the mouth of Sulphur Channel, as shown by Charts 3280 and 3429, and find that they occupy exactly the same positions in both charts, although they ought to differ on account of the difference of zero.\n\n12th November, 1904.\n\n(84.)

Drawing No.3919). When the Dockyard Extension Works were commenced, the direction of the outlet of the Nullah was altered as shown by a green line on the plan so as to clear the site of the Dock and Shops, and the water course was arched in.\n\nRecently there has been a heavy flood down the Nullah and a large amount of debris, boulders, and silt etc. was washed down and blocked up the water way on Admiralty property. This block had to be cleared at a cost to the Naval Authorities of $1,636. 10.\n\nThe question to be decided is how far the Colonial Authorities and War Department are responsible for preventing debris etc. being swept into the Nullah and damaging the outlet on Admiralty property.\n\nUnder Secretary of State,\n\nCOLONIAL OFFICE,\n\nL.P.-No. 8.\n\nLondon, S.W.\n\n2 G & S [6311] 20m 5/02▼\n\nMy",

But for the purpose of this appeal, it does not appear to me to be of any importance whether pilotage was compulsory or not, because there is no doubt that they had to pay for a pilot, and there is no doubt, therefore, it was expected they would take a pilot, and it appears to me to follow that they were bound to use the assistance of that pilot, and to receive his advice under those circumstances. It is suggested that the captain might have gone and looked at the chart, which means that the captain should have taken charge of the ship. I cannot help...",

The Court below treated the matter as if the captain was in charge himself, and as if there was no such advice available as that of the pilot. I confess I am quite unable to take that view. It appears to me that the captain was quite right in allowing the ship to be guided by the advice and under the direction of the pilot. I am, therefore, of opinion that the Court below was mistaken in suspending the captain's certificate, and it should be restored to him.\"\n\nMr Justice Barnes:\n\n\"When you start on that basis, and start also, as this vessel did, from a known spot, I think the captain was quite justified in assuming that the pilot had ample data for knowing his position and for taking the ship in, and in not himself studying upon his chart whether the pilot was taking him rightly or wrongly. Then the captain is blamed for getting her ashore, and I cannot help thinking that the remark I made was justified, that, having found the facts as stated, blame is put upon the captain for navigating the ship, just as if it had no pilot on board at all. I think the captain, on the facts of the case, was justified in relying upon what the pilot was doing, and not himself taking soundings.

I HAVE the honour to transmit herewith to your Lordship copies of two despatches which I have received from His Majesty's Consular Officers at Yünnan-fu and Tengyueh respectively, in reply to communications which I addressed to them, inclosing copies of your Lordship's despatch No. 11 of the 15th January, relative to the levy of li-kin and transit pass rules in the Province of Yunnan.\n\nYour Lordship will perceive that Mr. Wilkinson requests instructions in regard to the question as to whether the right to sell certificated goods at places en route to, but short of, their destination also applies in the case of the sale of such goods at places off the direct route. He points out that, under the provisional regulations, sales off the route constitute the offence of \"divergence,\" which involves the cancellation of the transit pass. He observes, however, that from the wording of the letter from the China Association, inclosed in your Lordship's above-mentioned despatch, it might appear that the Association considers that such sales are permissible.\n\nI have the honour to inclose copy of the reply which I have sent to Mr. Wilkinson, stating that in my opinion the right of selling goods short of their destination is limited to the sale of such goods at places on the direct and recognized route to the place indicated on the pass.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) ERNEST SATOW,\n\nInclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nConsul-General Wilkinson to Sir E. Satow.\n\n(No. 15.)

By the letter of the provisional regulations such sale off the route constitutes the offence of 'divergence\" (cha wang), and involves cancellation of the transit pass. The China Association, however, would seem to be of the opinion that goods under transit pass should be saleable at any point \"nearer to the first port of entry\" than the \"named distant city\" for which the pass was issued.\n\nI shall doubtless receive from you instructions as to whether a town which, though situate in the general direction of the named city, is yet undeniably off all recognized routes thither, can be regarded as a \"place short of the destination,\" and therefore as a place whereat, by Lord Lansdowne's directions, the right to sell such goods should be maintained.\n\nI have, &c.

        "content_text": "Inclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nReport by Consul-General Wilkinson respecting the Progress of the French Railway to Yunnan-fu. (Confidential.)\n\nTHE various routes that have from time to time been suggested or adopted for the French railway from Laokai to Yünnan-fu are marked on the accompanying map (compiled by \"le soldat Schneider,\" and published at Hanoi last November) by means of double lines. These routes are three-\n\n1. That proposed by the Mission d'Études in about 1898;\n\n2. The modifications subsequently introduced into this route by the engineers of the Travaux Publics of Tonquin;\n\n3. The \"trace\" of Herr von Kapp, adopted last year.\n\nThe first two ran up the valley of the Red River to Sinkai, thence along its tributary, the Sin-hsien Ho, and over a pass to the Mongtse Plain, whence the former followed the main road through Sinfang, Kuan-yi, Tunghai, Kiangchuan, and Tein-ning to Chiengkung and Yunnan-fu. The latter also kept this road as far as Kuanyi and a few miles further north; then it diverged to the west, so as to pass through Hsin-hsing Chou to K'unyang, on the southern extremity of the Tien-ch'ih, or Lake of Yünnan; it ultimately rejoined the main road at Tsin-ning.\n\nThe third route, which is the route that has now been finally adopted, is, it will be seen, entirely distinct from its predecessors. It leaves the Red River at Laokai itself, and runs up the valley of the Nam-hti (Nan-chi) to its head-waters in the hills, some 8 miles east of Mengtse. It is thence carried along, or through, those hills until it strikes, near A-mi Chou, the Lin-an River, an affluent of the Pei-ta Ho, which last is, in effect, the \"West River\" of Wuchow and Canton. A few miles further north the Pei-ta Ho itself is met, and up the gorges and valleys of this river the line runs until, a little beyond I-liang, it quits the river for its tributary, the torrent that drains the Yang-tsung Lake. It sweeps upward to the crest of the hills west of this lake, and having now attained—in fact, somewhat exceeded—the level of its terminus, finds little difficulty in crossing the remaining low passes into the Yunnan Plain.\n\nPrivate Schneider's map may be checked by the photographs of the track-chart prepared by the Société de construction. Of these a copy, courteously supplied by M. Guibert, Directeur des Travaux, is attached, together with similar photographs of—\n\n1. The profile of the line;\n\n2. A chart showing the position of the various concessions, or foreign establishments along it;\n\n3. A map of Yunnan city and its environs.\n\nFrom the profile it appears that the line leaves Laokai, the first station, at an elevation of 100 metres (328 feet) above sea-level; that in the first 74 kilom. (46 miles) it ascends gradually to 300 metres; and that during the next 80 kilom. it rises rapidly, at Milati attaining the height of 1,708 metres (3,535 feet); that it then falls to A-mi Chou, 1,056 metres (3,463 feet), whence the ascent is practically continuous to Shui-ya Tan, the highest point on the line, 2,020 metres (6,624 feet), 436 kilom. (271 miles) from Laokai. The elevation of Yunnan-fu, or rather of the station there, is given as 1,889 metres, or 6,196 feet.\n\nThe total length of the line, as now settled, is 464 kilom., or 290.88 miles (corrected from 4684 kilom.). This is divided into twenty-nine lots, or rather into thirty-two, as three of the lots are subdivided. These lots have been secured by fourteen contractors (\"entrepreneurs\") of whom the first and the last are French citizens, the rest being Italians. Their names, and the apportionment between them of the lots, are shown on the profile. It will be observed that two contractors have each taken up six lots; one contractor, four lots; five contractors, two lots apiece; and the remaining six contractors, one lot each.\n\nThe line is also shown to be divided into ten sections. Three of these contain four lots; six, three lots; and one, the ninth, two lots. Each section has its \"chef\" or head, and there is a \"sous-chef\" or assistant head, for each lot. Above the \"chefs des sections\" are two \"chefs de division,\" M. Dufour, who has his head-quarters at Mengtse, and M. Prud'homme, Chief of the second division, who is stationed at I-liang. Above these, again, is the director (\"Directeur des Travaux\"), who, with his staff, is quartered at Mengtse. The \"directeur\" was, till a few days ago, M. Guibert, but he has now left on a six months' \"congé,\" and is being replaced by Herr von Kapp, the confidential adviser of Count Vitali, President of the Société de Construction des Chemins de Fer.\n\nThe Association has a French register, and its \"Conseil\" meets in Paris. As is well known, it has constructed railways in, among other countries, Italy, Macedonia, and Asia Minor, and a great number of its employés in Yunnan are men who have for years been engaged in its service. Their doyen is, I believe, M. de Violini, Chief of the eighth section.\n\nI understand that the Chemin de Fer de Yünnan is the only considerable enterprise in which the Association is at the present time engaged; but of this I cannot speak positively. (The Society is said to be interested in the German Bagdad Railway.) For its work in Yunnan it is to be paid partly in cash and partly in shares of the concessionary Company, La Compagnie des Chemins de Fer de l'Indo-Chine et du Yünnan.\n\nThe interests of this Company are watched over from time to time by agents sent out for the purpose. The last of these, M. Getten, visited Yunnan-fu in April, returning along the line to Tonquin. He has since left for Paris.\n\nBy the Agreement between the Company and the Government of Indo-China, the latter is required to construct the line from Haiphong, on the coast, through Tonquin to Laokai, the frontier town, and to complete this line by the 1st April, 1905. The line (to which I shall refer later) is now in running order as far as Yenbay. Meanwhile, the Public Works Department (the Travaux Publics) of Tonquin also stations a Delegate in Yünnan to safeguard the interests of the Government of Indo-China, since this Government is, as I understand, eventually to receive one-half of the profits of the Haiphong-Yunnan-fu Railway. The Present Delegate, M. Richard, resides at Mengtse, but visits Yunnan-fu four or five times in the year.\n\nBefore dismissing the profile, attention may be drawn to the fact therein shown that there are to be eight stations, of varying classes, thus—\n\n  \n    Kilometre\n    Station\n    Class\n  \n  \n    70\n    Laokai\n    1st\n  \n  \n    \n    La-hu-ti\n    3rd\n  \n  \n    155\n    Ma-la-ti\n    3rd\n  \n  \n    164\n    Mengtse\n    3rd\n  \n  \n    228\n    A-mi Chou\n    2nd\n  \n  \n    298\n    Po-si\n    3rd\n  \n  \n    398\n    I-liang\n    3rd\n  \n  \n    468\n    Yunnan-sen\n    1st\n  \n\nand twenty-five sidings or stoppages (\"haltes\"). A-mi is, it may be noticed, almost midway between Laokai and Yunnan-fu.\n\nFrom the chart of \"Yünnan-sen\" it will be seen that this city, the capital of the Province of Yunnan, has six gates, and that while all of these, with the exception of the north gate, are surrounded by suburbs, the most thickly-peopled portions outside the wall lie to the south and east.\n\nPrevious to the Mahommedan rebellion (1857-73) almost the whole ground south of the city as far as the two pagodas (the \"vieille tour\" and \"tour neuve\" of the chart) was covered with houses, as was also the land for some third of a mile beyond the east wall.\n\nThe trend of the country is from the hills on the north and north-east down towards the great lake, south-west and south, with the result that the whole district south and west of the city is better suited for paddy fields than for building sites. Such is the case also with the lands between the old eastern faubourg and the hills 2 miles away to the east. The problem, then, that confronted the engineers of the Railway Company was to find an adequate space of sufficiently elevated ground on which to erect their station. The chart shows how it was first attempted to solve this problem. The original \"tracé\" ran alongside the \"route de Mengtse,\" and it was proposed to place an extensive yard in the angle formed between that route and the main road to Kueiyang.\n\nFrom this yard the line was to be continued to a still larger but less symmetrical enclosure to be formed outside the walls between the\n\nPage 15\n\n569",

The railway runs along the level at the foot of this ridge, and part of the embankment is complete. Thence it crosses into a small desolate valley through a very low pass of solid rock, now being cut. From this pass, across the valley, can be seen the Yunnan Plain and Lake—for this (28th May) is the last stage. There are no signs yet of the passage of the line into the plain, though it should not be very difficult; but in the plain itself, here full of pear orchards, work is in preparation for a stone viaduct of 10 metres span. It is in connection with this viaduct that the story went abroad of a demand for Chinese babies—as cement—but these legends are, if only for the moment, happily discredited. Beyond the viaduct I met with no sign of the railway until I crossed the broken hill some 10 miles from Yunnan city. On the western slope a stone quarry has been appropriated, and the fact is announced by an unguarded triangular flag lettered in black on a white ground.\n\nWhat is being done, or contemplated, in the immediate neighbourhood of the city itself I have elsewhere described. What I have, I find, forgotten to mention is that the line is a single line, and once made could not be doubled except at an expenditure far in excess of its excessive original cost.\n\nThe impression most deeply made upon me by my journey was that the \"trace\" selected by the French for their railway is certainly not less difficult than the line of the road between Têngyüeh and Hsiakuan, condemned by Baber's epigram; but that nevertheless they mean to succeed with it, and will succeed. A route from Kunlong Ferry via Yün Chou, Yünnan-i, and Ch'uhsiung to Yünnan-fu would, I feel convinced, meet with far fewer obstacles, except perhaps between Yün Chou and Mitu. The half of this route that I have traversed (from Hung-ai, 10 miles north of Mitu, to Yunnan-fu) seems to my unprofessional eye not only feasible but, except in some half-dozen places, comparatively easy. That this has not escaped the notice of the French, and that they have no intention of allowing Yunnan-fu to long remain their terminus, is evident if only from the railway chart of \"Yunnan-sen\" (my inclosure No. 5).* Here will be seen a dotted line sweeping round to the east and north of the city and labelled \"Embranchement vers Tali.\"\n\nSubordinates, and others who have no need to weigh their words, speak openly of French rights to the reversion of Yunnan—of the whole province at least as far west as Tali.\n\nOne enthusiastic writer some four years ago declared that Yünnan was destined to make up to French colonists for the loss of Canada. In any case it is the undisguised intention of the Tonquin authorities to establish somewhere, on the line of the railway through \"the Plateau,\" a sanatorium for their employés, civil and military. This may possibly be at the highest point of the line, above the Yang-tsung Lake, not far from the sulphur springs; or it may be in the neighbourhood of Yünnan-fu itself, in our western or northern hills. Whatever may arrive, it is certain that all this money—some have reckoned the probable total cost as high as 330,000,000 fr.—is not being spent in order to facilitate the sale in Yunnan Province of Manchester cottons or of Indian yarn.\n\nAs a commercial undertaking the railway cannot pay if it stops short at Yunnan-fu. I do not altogether hold with Mr. Litton that it is \"for a strategic line from Laokai to Yunnan city and nothing else.\" It will in any case tap the plains of Mengtse, A-mi, Posi, and I-liang, besides that of Yunnan-fu; and of these Mongtse and I-liang are not to be contemned. It will, moreover, even without the construction of actual \"embranchements,\" drain all the trade of Eastern Yünnan, and will, unless the Indian Government relaxes its prohibitions, secure the entire carriage of opium destined for Canton. At the same time it is impossible to believe that its projectors did not contemplate its extension beyond Yünnan-fu. Violent Anglophobes, such as Fontenoy's \"in the 'Courrier d'Haiphong,'\" exult in the thought that this French line will ultimately meet in Szechuan a branch of the Russian railway to Hsi-an, and so shut off India from the Yang-tsze Valley.\n\nThese are vapourings, no doubt, but we cannot afford to treat them altogether with contempt. As long as it seemed uncertain whether the project of a French line from Laokai to Yunnan-fu would not be smothered through internal dissensions or Chinese chicanery, an attitude of indifference was permissible to us. We now see and know that the project is being actually carried through, and that Tonquin will, unless something unforeseen prevents, be in railway communication with this city in at most six years—possibly in three. We should not, I submit, continue to sit still, but should without further delay demand a concession from China of the line from Kunlong Ferry to Tali and Yunnan-fu—or, better still, right on to Hankow. I do not think that the Provincial Government here would oppose.

In my opinion 9 and the relevant point is to the exact rules of the Regs under which he has the allowance. No a draw back as it is needed for the lower tiers, I regret my inability to meet his wishes.\n\nTo send a serious copy of letter saying that we do not think it just to call on or to refund any part of the allowance received after the date on which he might not draw any part of the allowance previous to July 1st, after which the whole might be drawn.\n\nIrani Que wrote to Sir M. n. as agreed with the Col. Regn. There is no more house allowance for paying less than for paying; there is no reason for a rickshaw or horse allowance. I would recommend alteration of part of any part of the relevant Ceart.\n\nThe difficulty with Col. Regn. is that an officer drawing house allowance is being informed through our letter 446, allowance (through his Arwing in X. 1.). On the supposition that the allowance was available we approved of Dr. Koch drawing it, and this concession was of course intended to apply to the whole term of his acting appointment. On the other hand Dr. Thomson was told by Sir H. Blake that he could draw the allowance, and in view of his expenditure on this supposition a good deal spent in improving his qualifications, it would be hard on him to reverse Sir H. Blake's decision for any part of his leave. Under Col. Reg. 124 the Gov. can decide how much of his house allowance an Officer on leave may draw, and Sir H. Blake decided that he could draw the whole, no part thereof being required for the acting officer. He omitted, however, to report this to the S. of S.\n\nIn this particular case I think the only fair solution is to pay the allowance to both officers for the whole period in question. It is regrettable, but the fault is not ours. Mr. May is also to blame for not ascertaining the fact that Dr. Thomson was drawing the allowance, and not reporting the fact when he recommended that Dr. Koch should draw it.\n\nAs to Col. Reg. 124 I think a house allowance is clearly a part of an officer's emoluments to a greater extent than a horse allowance, and additions are made to pensions in many cases in respect of house allowances. \n\nIf my view is adopted tell Dr. Thomson that we are",

When entering the Bungalow, I saw Dr. Bell and one of the Sisters coming across the lawn; they entered the ward as I was preparing to deal with the case of confinement.\n\nDr. Bell, after a few words of conversation, left me in charge just as my operating apron was being tied on. I delivered the woman with forceps and also performed a second operation, viz., that of removing an adherent placenta or after-birth under chloroform, both capital operations. The woman recovered perfectly and was discharged on May 21st, 12 days after parturition.\n\nI attach the diet sheet, chart, and history sheet of this case and beg that His Excellency will note that after performing these operations, I ordered the woman medicine and food as usual. Had I been drunk, surely I could not have attended to such details as these. Further, had I been drunk, Dr. Bell should not have left me in charge of such a case, but should have at once put me off duty and reported me immediately.\n\nI emphatically deny that I was in the slightest degree under the influence of liquor; anything unusual in my demeanour was due to the effect of the draught to which I have alluded and not to drink.\n\n4. \n\nWith regard to charge No. 2, I most positively declare that I was not under the influence of liquor while on duty on the evening of Saturday, May 20th.

The comparison which has now been made by Mr. Boulton in paragraph 18 of his present report between soundings taken in January, 1887, and in January, 1905, in Hung Hom Bay shows, on the whole, a deepening in that small area of water.\n\n5.

When, therefore, I read Messrs. Coode, Son and Mathews' report, I was not at all surprised at their expressions of misgiving ((10)) about the extent of shoaling. No one will be surprised who sees Chart No. B-8785, which arrived here a fortnight after the report. On this chart will be found a note (not alluded to in the report) to the following effect:- \"Low \"Water Extraordinary Springs are by Captain Moore's estimate \"about 2'6\" below the datum of L.A.O.S. used by Captain Belcher\". \n\n8. This note, lithographed in the Hydrographer's Office 13 years ago, turns the bulk of my former report into mere waste paper. \n\n9. My experience of sailors has given me the impression that they are inclined to err on the safe side in estimates of sounding, and for this reason it did not seem to me to be likely (28, 29) that Captain Belcher had adopted such a high zero as it now appears probable that he did adopt. \n\n10. It is not stated how Captain Moore arrived at his estimate, but I have no doubt he had good grounds for it. This note has directed me to a point that previously escaped my attention. The following remark appears on the first edition of chart 1466, and on succeeding editions of the same down to at least 1874:- \"High Water B. & C. X4. Rise 4 ft. 9 in.\" \n\n11. Leaving exceptional tides out of account, the range is constantly fluctuating between nothing at all and 9' 3\". The average range happens to be about 3' 5\". Captain Belcher seems to have taken a range of about half the extreme one, and adopted the Low Water of this moderate range as the zero.",

See Appendix 1.). On this estimate, therefore, the difference between the two is 2' 74\". If it were necessary to guess at mean sea level from Chart 1459, a foot or so would have to be added to the rise of 9 feet mentioned, so as to balance the exceptionally Low Water with an exceptionally High one. But these are mere guesses. The facts are stated in different way on the various charts.\n\n12. \nA copy of what appears to be the original edition of Captain Eelcher's survey was discovered by Mr. Drayson in January, this year. It has been shown to be of no value in connection with the matter under consideration ((12)), and ought to be discarded; but it is of some historical interest. According to Belcher, Sir Henry Pottinger first came from home in the Steam Frigate \"Sesostris\", arriving at Macao on 10th August, 1841; and he left for home on 12th June, 1844. The chart was published on 1st May, 1848, and, from a note on the back, which seems to have been written by Sir Henry, was evidently received by him on the 30th January of the following year. My conjectural Chart 'G' shows a number of soundings which were taken later than the first survey; but very few of these are in the central part of the harbour.\n\n13. \nA noteworthy point on the original chart is the letter \"r\" (indicating rock) on the site of what is now called Belcher's Ridge. The \"r\" does not appear on later editions. Perhaps at the time of the original survey there was a bare patch of rock which afterwards got covered over with sediment.\n\n14. \n\"Rambler\" Zero is now described as being 19' 2\"",

Indeed, a rapid comparison of the contour lines on the two charts is enough to satisfy almost anyone that this is so.\n\n16.\n\nI concur in the Consulting Engineers' recommendations ((17)) as to fixing a datum or zero, although I do not see the advantage generally of adopting a moderately low tide. By referring to an extremely low tide, all minus quantities are removed from tide tables, and a great many from working drawings. In the present case, however, it will be advisable to adhere to the \"Rifleman\" Zero, alias Ordnance Datum. It is practically the level that the Consulting Engineers recommend (see Appendix III), and it has been consistently used by the Public Works Department for many years, and is well known to local engineers and architects generally.\n\n17.\n\nIn my former remarks (128 and 42) on mean sea level as a point of reference, I may not have made it clear that I meant it to be a final point of reference, as it is the only constant level in the world.

A ladder dredger, of the \"Canton River\" type will probably be found to be the most suitable.\n\n22.\n\nI have plotted the accompanying sheet of sections, from the Admiralty record charts, to show approximately what will have to be faced in the way of dredging when the matter comes to be taken up again. I think it may be assured, on general principles, that silting is proceeding very slowly. I have measured the quantities from the sections as they stood when the soundings were taken, adding nothing for subsequent silting. Carrying out the dredging operations on the general lines shown on my Chart 'F', partly to 5 fathoms, and partly to 4 fathoms, the quantity of stuff to be shifted is 15,000,000 tons. The old estimate was 27,000,000 tons (39). If the whole area is to be dredged to 5 fathoms as suggested by the Harbour Master, the quantity will become 25,000,000 tons.\n\n23.\n\nAs the old estimate included a liberal allowance for assumed silting after the date of the last survey, and the new estimate includes no allowance for such silting, the former may be regarded as being based on the worst view of the case and the latter on the best. Some allowance should be made, however, for such dredging as will unavoidably be done below the intended maximum depth. But against this has to be set the fact that 5 fathoms below \"Rambler\" Zero is 5 fathoms and 6 inches below any but a phenomenal low tide. (The zero recently adopted by the Admiralty for future sounding in these waters is 8\" higher than \"Rambler\" Zero. See Appendix 11.). An inch in depth of dredging over the entire area amounts to about 353,000 tons.\n\n24.\n\nPage 510  \nPage 511",

To prevent confusion we may observe that the numbers of the charts hereinafter mentioned are those which are given at the bottom right-hand corner of each chart respectively. \n14. For the better elucidation of this Report we forward herewith a recent edition of Chart No. 1444, wherein we have shown in different colours the areas, and dates of the surveys we referred to, and also the areas we propose should be re-surveyed for comparison with the soundings shown on charts 3279, 3280, and 3429. We also forward copies of these last-named four charts. They give details to a larger scale, of the coloured portions of the accompanying Chart No. 1444.\n\n15. It is of great importance that the question which has been raised with regard to the soundings should be carefully considered and thoroughly investigated. We are therefore of opinion that the area coloured red on the accompanying chart No. 1444 (which is also shown to an enlarged scale on chart No. 1444) should be re-surveyed. \n\nIt appears that \"Chart No. 144x\" and \"Chart No. 11166\" and \"Chart No. 1444\" were mentioned in the original text, and \"Chart No. 1444\" is consistently used. Therefore, it is assumed that \"Chart No. 144x\" is referring to \"Chart No. 1444\". Similarly, \"Chart No. 11166\" is likely referring to \"Chart No. 1444\" or another chart number that is not clear. However, based on the given information, the text is corrected to reflect the consistent chart number \"Chart No. 1444\". \n\nThe initial part of the text is reconstructed for better readability.\n\nCharts \"Roger\" it is considered that the Roundings of 1911 should be eliminated in all future comparisons to the former depths which existed within the Harbour, and that hereafter such comparisons should be confined, exclusively, to the former charts alive referred to, viz: 3279, 3280 and 3429.",

Sketch Map of North River basin.\n(B.) Chart of North River to Shao-chou-fu.\n\n## Section 1.-General Description of the North River\n\nA glance at the map of the Kuantung Province appended to this Report will show that three large streams combine to form the Canton delta. From the west comes the Sikiang (\"West River\"), from the north the Peikiang (\"North River\"), and from the east the Tungkiang (\"East River\"). The junction of the two former, known locally as Saikong and Pakkong, is at Samshui, some 20 miles west of Canton; the Tungkong joins the delta about the same distance east of this city.\n\nThe Pakkong, with which this Report is concerned, rises in the north-east corner of the Kuangtung Province, flows in a south-westerly direction for some 80 miles as far as Shao-chou-fu, where it turns due south, and, after a course of about 220 miles right through the centre of the province, joins the West River at Samshui. That is to say, it apparently joins the West River; actually the North River passes into the arm of the delta known as the Sainam Creek at about a mile from its junction with the main stream, and, except at certain times in the spring when a freshet forces it to run into the West River, never really mingles its waters with that stream. This accounts for the fact that the rises in the two rivers seldom occur simultaneously. Thus, when I left Wuchon in July last to join the \"Robin\" at Samshui, the West River was in flood, with the water-mark at Wuchou showing 51 feet; whereas the North River was only 5 feet above its winter level.\n\nAlthough the Pakkong can, perhaps, hardly be classed among the large rivers of China, it may yet claim to be mentioned in the list of important waterways, having served for many centuries as part of the great trade route between Canton and the cities in the Yang-tsze Valley. In the early days of foreign intercourse with China, before the advent of steamers on the coast, when Canton was the only recognized port of entry for foreign goods, the foreign trade of China was carried on via the North River in junk to Nam-heung, on coolie-back over the Meiling Pass to Nan-an in Kiangsi, thence by water down the Kan River, and through the Poyang Lake to the Yang-tsze.\n\nBy this route the first European Embassies to the Chinese Court travelled to or from Peking: Lord Macartney, in 1793; the Dutch Envoy, Von Braani, in 1794; Lord Amherst, in 1816.\n\nThe ruins of temples, rest-houses, and jetties met with all along the North River bear silent witness to the trade which at one time existed; but the safer and speedier journey by sea has now practically superseded the old overland route, and at the present day---although the junk traffic between Canton and the towns in the North River Basin is still considerable---the only through trade worthy of mention is that in Kiangsi porcelain and Hunan tobacco. The finishing blow to the North River's prosperity was given by the Taiping rebels, who, forty years ago, swept down the river from Shaochou almost to the gates of Canton, destroying every town of any importance in their way. Shaochou itself managed to keep them outside its gates, but they levelled to the ground a large and prosperous suburb on the opposite bank of the river.\n\nIt remains to be seen if the Hankow-Canton Railway, now in course of construction, will succeed in inducing the trade to revert to its former channels, or whether it will---as is, perhaps, more probable---give a stimulus to the shipping trade by opening up districts hitherto cut off from communication with the coast. I shall refer to the railway later on in this Report, but I take this opportunity to remark that the importance to Hong Kong of having the terminus of this line at Kowloon, and not at Canton---or, say, the deep-water port of Whampoa---must be obvious to any one who has given any attention to the condition of trade in South China.\n\n## Section 2.-The Treaty Port of Samshui\n\nThe small district city of Samshui (three waters) gives its name to the Treaty port which was opened in 1897 under the Burmah Convention. The steamer anchorage and Customs station are at Ho-kou, at the junction of the North River with the Sainam creek, formerly a fishing village, now a struggling town of Chinese shops and semi-foreign houses, prominent among which are the custom-house (formerly the British Consulate) and the recently erected residence of the Commissioner of Customs. The centre of trade is at Sainam, a town of some 20,000 inhabitants, situated 3 miles down the creek in the direction of Canton. As the crow flies, Samshui is only 33 miles from Canton, by creek about 40 miles, and by the channels taken by the West River steamers, 85 miles.\n\nThe principal imports through the foreign Customs are, or rather have been, cotton yarn, piece-goods, and kerosene oil. Owing, however, to the fluctuations in the li-kin and native Customs Tariffs in the delta---which are raised and lowered to suit the emergencies of the trade---it is impossible to estimate with any degree of accuracy from the foreign Customs Returns the progress in the consumption of foreign goods in the district served by the Samshui. Thus, noting that the import of kerosene oil into the delta has steadily increased during the last five years, we find the import into Samshui in 1899 to be 2,984,996 gallons, and in 1902, less oil; of cotton yarn, the manufacture of which into cloth is one of the chief industries of the peasants in the Samshui district, in 1899, 45,950 piculs, in 1902, 23,294 were imported.\n\nThe principal articles of native produce exported by steamer through the Customs are brown sugar and tea (from the North River), straw bags, paper, and rice birds. The latter small birds, tasting, when cooked, much the same as sparrows, appear to be indigenous to the Samshui district; thousands of them are snared in nets during the autumn season, tinned in Sainam, and sent to Hong Kong for shipment to the Straits Settlements. As in the case of imports, the cheaper rates quoted by the native custom-houses in the delta induce merchants to ship by junk in preference to steamer.\n\nThe tonnage entering the port has hitherto been out of all proportion to the value of the trade, 2,400 steamers, aggregating 360,000 tons, having entered the port in 1902, and 2,800 launches having reported to the Customs; the explanation being that until the opening of Kongmoon in March 1904 as a Treaty port, the steamers engaged in the Hong Kong-Kongmoon passenger trade were obliged to report for Customs purposes at Samshui.\n\nAs was to be expected, there has been a large falling off in the Samshui tonnage during the present year, most of the steamers now running only as far as Kongmoon or Kaukong. The numerous launches which pass through the port at all hours of the day and night are engaged in the ever-increasing native passenger trade between Canton and towns on the West and North Rivers.\n\nThe hopes that were entertained when the port was first opened to foreign trade have not been fulfilled, as will be seen from the following Returns of the total values of the trade during the last five years.\n\n| Year | Value of Trade | Rate of Exchange | \n| --- | --- | --- |\n|  | Taels | £ | s. d. |\n| 1898 | 1,618,994 | 152,857 | 2 10 |\n| 1899 | 2,984,996 | 447,749 | 3 0 |\n| 1900 | 2,290,000 | 355,427 | 3 14 |\n| 1901 | 2,607,877 | 385,843 | 2 14 |\n| 1902 | 2,189,571 | 284,644 | 2 7½ |",

Consul Litton, however, stood out for Ta-ya-k'ou as the boundary, declaring that the stockades beyond Ta-ya-k'ou were not subject to the administration of the \"Fu-yi,\" and could not be regarded as territory within the (Chinese) jurisdiction. The Acting Taotai, seeing that the certificates of succession are still in evidence, demurred to this; but as Consul Litton was unwilling to go and hold a joint investigation, the Acting Taotai himself sent officers to ascertain the facts.\n\nOne after the other they had now returned to Tengyueh, and a general map had been compiled, which had been compared, for the names of hills, streams, and localities, with the draft map sent in by Consul Litton. Consul Litton had, moreover, written officially to say that the procedure hitherto had been for both parties to affix their seals to a frontier map. The present joint mission of inquiry had no power to demarcate, and although both parties affixed their seals, such proceeding would be merely proof of the genuineness of the map, and could not be taken as evidence of delimitation. A note to the above effect having been made on the map, seals were mutually affixed.\n\nIn this section of the frontier Consul Litton desired the boundary to run from the great snow range of Kao-li-kung down along the watershed across Ta-ya-k'ou, insisting that the water-parting would make Ta-ya-k'ou the boundary. The Acting Taotai, on the ground of the jurisdiction of the sawbwa, insisted that the Siao-chiang was the boundary. They argued and discussed, until Consul Litton wrote saying that he had received a note from the Burmah Government expressing a wish to deal with the matter amicably. They were willing to follow the precedent of the Meng-mao Triangle and for all villages beyond (i.e., west of) Ta-ya-k'ou to pay a yearly sum of 1,000 rupees or 1,500 rupees for a lease in perpetuity. Such would be a tacit admission of Chinese Sovereignty; and although the present mission was one of inquiry only and not of delimitation, still, as a formal communication had been made, it was impossible not to traverse it clause by clause, so as to eradicate assumptions. The Taotai accordingly submitted copies of the survey chart of the northern section of the Burman-Yunnan frontier, together with those of the correspondence with Consul Litton, to be considered and forwarded by the Governor-General.\n\nThe Governor-General would observe that as regards the question of the northern section of the Tengyueh frontier, the British officials have, ever since British troops crossed the frontier and caused disturbance, frequently expressed a desire to consider Ta-ya-k'ou as the boundary. Acting Taotai Shih has now ascertained that it is the domain of Chinese sawbwa, and that there exist certificates of succession as proof. Consul Litton still stands firm in his desire, at the same time talking of a perpetual lease. But before discussing a lease the boundary-line must first be clearly traced, and then negotiations can commence. Moreover, the officers deputed by the two countries on the present Mission had no authority to demarcate. Delimitation, therefore, and discussion of a lease must both await the result of the deliberations of the Board with the British Minister.\n\nThe original map sent in, together with copies of the official correspondence and of the Chieftains' certificates of succession, are submitted to the Board with the present communication, and it is earnestly requested that due consideration may be given to them.\n\nA necessary communication and Report.\n\nInclosures: one map, in original, with joint seals; two dossiers (copies).

        "content_text": "# \n募 \n\n16 \n\nconfined to the lower slopes. Half-way up the hills where our road lay opium was the most important crop, followed by a summer sowing of maize, but we also saw some patches of wheat and beans.\n\nThe Lisu are stay-at-home people, which is not surprising in view of the difficulty of getting about. Few of them can give any information about country more than three days' march from their own village, and fewer still have ever seen a town of 1,000 inhabitants or a square mile of flat country. These hills are so cut off from all relief by the outer world, and the villagers are so poor, that the problem of how to get enough to eat is the burning question of the day. There are no free-traders here. In none of the villages beyond Lu Chang could we buy a pound of rice or other cereals, though fowls and an occasional goat were forthcoming. Even paterfamilias practises high protection. He tries to get enough grain to feed himself and his family till the next harvest, and will not let a spoonful go out of the house.\n\nThe Chinese lower down the Salween regard all the country above Mao Chao as \"black\" or wild Lisu territory, utterly beyond the pale of civilization. There are no Chinese residents on the Salween north of Cheng Ka. No doubt the Lisu often raid in various directions, hunger being the chief incentive, though sometimes the object is to make slaves, or, in the case of forays towards the north, to cut off the Chinese gold-workers. The slave traffic seems fairly brisk. At Pai Pa the price of a male or female child of 8 to 10 years was about 20 rupees, but some of our porters told us that if we could come on to their village some distance further north we should find a larger selection and at easier rates. The slavery is of the domestic type, but the slave has also to work in the fields.\n\nAt Pai Pa, while I was sitting in my tent, I was surprised by a very dirty old man with remarkably brilliant black eyes, who threw himself down on the ground at the door of my tent and began a chant in a high, loud voice. I thought that he was a beggar, and asked the by-standers what his song was all about. They said in a rather awe-struck manner that they did not understand it. On inquiry I then discovered that I was in the presence of the local soothsayer, or medicine man.\n\nRealizing that he might be a person of some importance, I at once gave him a necklace of red beads and a rupee, whereupon he declared, in language which could be understood of the people, that my goings and comings in the Lisu country would be most prosperous--an announcement which had an impressive effect on the by-standers.\n\nThese \"tien ssu,\" or prophets, as the Chinese call them, are to be found in many Lisu villages. They deal in charms, medicines, funeral rites, omens, incantations, and in the knowledge of all things which, for the ordinary mortal, are hidden in the womb of time. No doubt among the ignorant villagers they have considerable influence, and could, if they wished, raise disturbances. The language of their trade is probably an archaic form of Lisu, and the various chants and invocations which they use have been handed down for generations and from times of old.\n\nI cannot confirm the reports of the savage and barbarous habits of these Lisu. I was entirely in their hands for two weeks, and I found that their good-will was very easy to win.\n\nPorters were always forthcoming so long as there was a ration of rice to give them, and I never had the least trouble. They are a hardy race, and though their manners are rough, they did not appear to be given to quarrelling among themselves like the Kachins, and the European traveller can march with them without feeling that uncontrollable desire to assault them which he nearly always feels in the case of Chinese coolies. Given the absence of Chinese soldiers and officials, and a carefully arranged supply of food, the complete exploration of the Lisu country on the Upper Salween would, for a good walker, be no difficult task, provided that he went in the autumn, when the weather is fine, when there is the minimum of snow on the passes, and local supplies of cereal food for a small party could be purchased.\n\nFrom the village of Pai Pa there is a pass via the village of Chi Me Le westwards over the great Salween divide to Langsu or the Maru country along the N Maikha, while Kang Fang on the Upper Ngaw Chang River can also be reached by this pass in four days from Pai Pa. There is said to be another route over this range some three days north of Pai Pa, but the communication between the Salween and the N'Maikha is difficult and unfrequent, as the Marus and Lisu have very little to do with each other. We had hoped to explore the Chi Me Le Pass, but the deep snows and continuous rain rendered the track quite impassable.\n\n17\n\n## Chinese Expedition to the Maru Country\n\n441\n\nThe Chinese Headman of Ku T'an, a village near Teng Keng, came into camp at Lu Chang and told me all about an attempt which had been made in the 16th year of Kwang Hsü (1890) to establish Chinese influence on the Upper N'Maikha. He had taken charge of the expedition, which consisted of fifty persons, nearly all Chinese. The venture was financed by the Teng Keng, Ta Tang, and Ming Kwang Headmen to the extent of 3,000 taels. It had two objects--firstly, to check the advance of British control from Myitkyina; and, secondly, to work the brine wells on the N'Maikha at about latitude 26° 30′.\n\nThe venture proved a failure owing to the extreme difficulty of the country, the absence of proper arrangements to bring up supplies, and the deadly climate. The Headman told me that he could speak some Maru, and had remained on the Upper N'Maikha for about seven months. The Maru villages he described as being constantly at feud with one another, and endeavouring to enlist his assistance in their quarrels.\n\nThe brine wells proved to be rich, but the expense and difficulty of transport to China rendered it impossible to make any profit, and the attempt to establish a Chinese colony had to be abandoned. This Ku Tan Headman was a particularly intelligent man, and told me that the Chinese, with their methods, would never be able to open up the country, and that they have no funds to make what was absolutely essential, namely, a passable track. He asked me to mention that he would like to serve under any British officer who might be conducting an expedition into the Maru country. His route had been via Kang Fang, then across the Ngaw Chang, and up into the mountains beyond.\n\nTo describe the government of the Lisu on the Upper Salween would be like describing the snakes of Iceland. North of latitude 26° there is practically none, except in so far as the \"prophets\" and old men of each village look after the affairs of that village. The jurisdiction of the Teng Keng Fu Yi (residing on the right bank of the Salween, latitude 26°), extends along the right bank only as far as the Ku Tan. Many of Teng Keng's villages are Chinese, or half-caste Lisu. The Teng Keng Fu Yi is a boy of about 16. Proceeding north, the next Fu Yi is at Lu Chang, to the north of the Ku Tan Stream, and situated at 6,000 feet high above the right bank of the Salween. This Fu Yi is an intelligent child of 9; he is of Lisu extraction, and the clan name is Cha. His affairs are managed by his mother and their villagers. Practically all Lisu seem to be in a prosperous and happy condition. The Lu Chang territory is about 10 miles from south to north. Next comes the Mao Chao Fu Yi. His village, like Lu Chang, is perched on a terrace 3,000 feet above the right bank of the river, and backed by the snowy Irrawaddy divide. This Fu Yi is about 35 years of age; his territory is some 14 miles from north to south, and entirely inhabited by Lisu. His rule is wholly confined to attempts, sometimes successful, sometimes otherwise, to levy money or goods from his villages. Pai Pa is the last Mao Chao village proceeding north.\n\nBeyond Pai Pa for three days the country nominally belongs to the Lao Wo Fu Yi, who resides in the hills between the Salween and the Mekong at about latitude 26°. The village of Cheng-ka, on the right bank of the Salween, below Pai Pa, and its ferry belongs to him, and his agent resides at Cheng-ka. Lao Wo's efforts at government appear to be less successful than those of Mao Chao, but they go further, for he does not confine himself to trying to levy money; he also endeavours from time to time to raid his subjects and carry off the fairest of their damsels.\n\nAgain, north of the territory claimed by Lao Wo, the Fu Yi of Chou, known as \"Lo Tu Kuan,\" i.e., the native official Lo, who has his residence on the Mekong, is supposed to be the overlord of the Lisu on both banks of the Salween; but his control, even on the left bank, and in the hills between the Salween and the Mekong, is of so shadowy a description that it may be said not to exist at all.\n\nNone of these Fu Yi appear to claim, and most certainly none of them control, any territory to the west of the great divide in the Irrawaddy basin.\n\nNorth of about latitude 27° 40′ the La Tzu tribe along the banks of the Salween are supposed to be tributary to the Moso, Thibetan Chief of Yetche, on the left bank of the Mekong. North, again, of the Lu Tzu country, i.e., from about latitude 28° 20′, the Salween Valley is, it is believed, wholly inhabited by Thibetans of the Tsarong Province.\n\n[2167 x-1]",

Apparently it is generally supposed that the Railway will terminate either on the land side or at the Southern extremity of the Kowloon peninsula.\n\nUnder these circumstances perhaps the foreshore in Mungkan Bay could, if acquired now, be bought at a reasonable price, if so possibly the enclosed rough sketch of a suggested reclamation might be considered worthy of investigation.\n\nThe estimate is of course a very rough one as the information on which it is based is merely taken from an Admiralty Chart that I have borrowed. I send this rough sketch not without some misgiving that it may be resented as intruding upon what does not concern me, if so I can only say that it is quite unintentional.\n\nYours faithfully,\nA.

It would probably involve a larger expenditure than would be justified to resume the property, while it is possible that if an equally good site for the present lessee's business could be exchanged for it, arrangements far less costly to the Government could be made, while at the same time an important business would not be stopped or checked.\n\nThe only suitable site is part of the area of the proposed reclamation at North Point, which I propose to offer to Messrs. Blackhead & Co.\n\n77 \n\nI would now direct Your Lordship's attention to the copy of the Admiralty Chart No.3279, \"Hongkong Waters East\", to which I have transferred the position of the two 6-inch quick-firing guns and their extreme arcs of fire from the larger-scale tracing furnished by the General Officer Commanding.

The assumption I have made for the purpose of putting the matter in the most unfavourable light cannot, however, be realised in practice.\n\nApart from the fact that the buildings must for safety be removed some way in rear of the edge of the reclamation, the advantages of the site abutting on deep water would be lost unless a clear space of considerable depth for the loading or discharging of cargo be left between the sea wall and any buildings behind it. Again, these buildings would certainly not be continuous. Probably, if no restrictions are imposed, the reclamation, which itself would only be effected by degrees, would in the course of time have isolated buildings and sheds and possibly a few tall chimneys erected on it at some distance behind the sea wall.

The Corporation agrees to issue on behalf of the Administrator-General a sterling loan for the amount of 2,300,000l, the proceeds of which are to be applied in the order following:\n\n(1) To the redemption forthwith or at maturity of the loans and advances detailed in the statement attached to this Agreement which have been made by foreign banks to the Tien-tsin-Shan-hai-Kuan and the Tien-tsin-Lucouchiao Railway lines. The Administrator-General hereby certifies that the total amount of the liabilities due by the lines named does not exceed the sum of 3,000,000 taels.\n\n(2.) To the carrying out within a period of three years from the date of this Agreement of certain improvements and additions to rolling-stock on the existing lines between Peking and Shan-hai-Kuan, recommended by the European Chief Engineer, and estimated by him to cost about 1,500,000 taels.\n\n(3.) To the construction of a railway line from Chung-hou-so to Hsin-ming-t'ing, one from a point on that line near Shih-san-chan to Ying-tzu, and of a branch line from Nu-erb-ho to the collieries of Nanp'iao.\n\nThe Administrator-General engages that the construction of the new lines here specified shall be completed within a period of three years from the date of this Agreement.\n\n2. In the event of the proceeds of this loan being insufficient for the completion of the new lines here specified, the Administrator-General will provide or will arrange with the Imperial Government of China to provide funds from other sources sufficient to complete their construction.\n\n3. This loan shall be a first charge upon the security of the permanent way, rolling-stock, and entire property, with the freight and earnings of the existing lines\n\n[1130]\n20\n7\n149",

I have added little else, lest the trees should obscure the wood; though I have taken the opportunity to identify and insert nearly all the localities mentioned in my despatches Nos. 11 and 37 of 1905. By superimposing the tracing paper on Shih Taotai's map, the remarks which I would now venture to submit will, I trust, gain in clearness.\n\nIf our motto is to be stet pro ratione voluntas, there can be no doubt that we could force Yunnan to acquiesce. She has few, if any, troops worth the name, and her treasury is empty. Should we proceed to administer up to \"Scott's Line\" she could offer no overt resistance.\n\nAs regards the blank in both our maps, the ground styled by Governor-General Ting \"Manbai Magna,\" and by Shih Taotai \"Territory of the Wild K'a,\" I do not think that the Yunnan Government would be inclined to raise difficulty. The only objection they might bring forward would be that this region lies well to the east of the boundary line drawn by Liu and Ch'en-tajen in 1900. But although Shih Taotai continues to identify Loi-mu Hill with the \"very lofty mountain range called Kong-ming-Shan\" of the Treaties, still I think that he would hardly have handed me, with the Governor-General's assent, his present map unless his Government are prepared to yield the ground between the Liu-Chen line and Shih's \"watersheds of the Namma River,\" or at the least to erect it into a sort of buffer State. (In his Memorandum he does, it is true, propose that it be divided.) They might possibly give up those parts of the Upper Hulu and of Mengtum that lie south and west of \"Scott's Line\"; what they will certainly strive to retain is the \"territory subject to the Hsi-ming Sawbwa,\" that is, Mong-hka and Mong-hsaw (coloured pink in Shih's map).\n\nIf we force them, without further explanation or negotiations, to surrender this district, we can hardly fail to embitter relations between Burmah and Yunnan, if not between Great Britain and China. We could not well occupy and administer it without at the same time either subduing the Wild Wa or—what would be scarcely less trouble—some and expensive becoming responsible for their recurring raids on undoubted Chinese territory.\n\nIf, on the other hand, there is still room for amicable discussion, I would venture to suggest that the following arguments might be brought to the knowledge of Governor-General Ting:\n\n1. The Agreement signed on the 4th February, 1897, by Sir Claude MacDonald and the late Grand Secretary Li Hung-chang, modifying the Burmah-China Frontier and Trade Convention of the 1st March, 1894, must be accepted as binding on the Governments of Burmah and of Yunnan. For purposes of the present controversy it is sufficient to apply this axiom to paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 3 of that Agreement, which read as follows:—\n\n\"The frontier shall then follow the course of the river forming the boundary between Somu, which belongs to Great Britain, and Meng Ting, which belongs to China. It shall still continue to follow the frontier between those two districts, which is locally well known, to where it leaves the aforesaid river and ascends the hills, and shall then follow the line of water-parting between the tributaries of the Salween and the Meikong Rivers, from about longitude 99° east of Greenwich (17° 30′ west of Peking) and latitude 23° 20′ to a point about longitude 99° 40′ east of Greenwich (16° 50′ west of Peking) and latitude 23°, leaving to China the Tsawbwaships of Keng Ma, Mengtung, and Mengko.\n\n\"At the last-named point of latitude and longitude the line strikes a very lofty mountain range called Kong-Ming-Shan, which it shall follow in a southerly direction to about 99° 30′ east of Greenwich (17° west of Peking) and latitude 22° 30′, leaving to China the district of Chenpien Ting. Then, descending the western slope of the hills to the Namka River, it will follow the course of that river for about 10 minutes of latitude, leaving Munglem to China and Manglün to Great Britain. The frontier shall then follow the boundary between Munglem and Kiang Tung.\"\n\n2. The above two paragraphs were transferred, without substantial alteration, from the Convention of 1894 to the Agreement of 1897.\n\n3. The Convention of 1894 was drafted in English in London, where it was translated into Chinese and signed in both languages by Lord Rosebery and Hsieh Fu-ch'eng, the then Chinese Envoy to Great Britain.\n\n4. The only truly scientific method of indicating locality on the earth's surface is that of latitude and longitude. With this method China has been acquainted at any rate since the Jesuit Survey in the K'ang-hsi reign more than two centuries ago. The Chinese maps bound in with the native Gazetteer of Yunnan (\"Yunnan Tungchih\") employ this system. The references, therefore, to latitudes and longitudes in the Agreement cannot be ignored by the Yunnan Government, as they were, in effect, ignored by Liu and Ch'en, the Boundary Commissioners of 1900; these references are of the first importance.\n\nOn the contrary,\n\n6. The references to latitude and longitude in the clause now under examination are four, namely:\n\n(a.) Longitude 99° east of Greenwich (17° 30′ west of Peking), and latitude 23°20'.\n\n(b.) Longitude 99° 40′ east of Greenwich (16° 50' west of Peking), and latitude 23°.\n\n(c.) Longitude 99° 30′ east of Greenwich (17° west of Peking), and latitude 22° 30'.\n\n(d.) A point on the Namkha River situated 10 minutes of latitude from where the boundary between Menglem and Kiang Tung diverges from that river.\n\nThe first step to be taken is to mark the above four points on the map of the survey of India—a map the correctness of which is admitted by the Yunnan Government, as regards its physical features and lines of latitude and longitude, since they have adopted it as the basis of their own chart.\n\n(The four points are marked in red on the tracing paper.)\n\n6. When the above points are marked it will be found that they fall very nearly on the crests of certain mountain ranges admitted by Shih Taotai to be watersheds. The word \"about\" in the Treaty allows for the small difference found, but it would certainly not admit of the very great difference—40 minutes of longitude—required if the Liu-Ch'en line is to be taken to represent that of the Convention.\n\n7. Between points (a) and (b) the boundary, according to the Convention, is to \"follow the line of water-parting between the tributaries of the Salween and the Meikong Rivers.\" The water-parting is marked on Shih's map, and coincides with that portion of \"Scott's Line.\"\n\n**\n\n(This is not altogether the case between 99° 30′ and 99° 44', where \"Scott's Line\" is drawn across the supposititious head-waters of the Nam-hoit, Shih's Nan-wa. Mr. (now Sir George) Scott himself described it as \"to some extent conjectural.” Our main contention, however, is not affected—that we follow the watershed.)\n\n8. At point (b) the Convention boundary \"strikes a very lofty mountain range called Kong-Ming-Shan, which it follows in a southerly direction to point (c). Now, Shih's map admits that between (b) and (c) runs, in a markedly southern direction, the \"main watershed between the Mekong and the Salween,\" which watershed is merged at about longitude 99° 45′ and latitude 22° 40′ in a range which he calls K'ung-ming Shan. His Memorandum describes this K'ung-ming Shan as falling within the jurisdictions of four Sawbwaships—Hsi-ming, Mu-nai, Menglem, and Mengpin. If the term is to be confined to the range as marked on his map, then Mu-nai and Hsi-ming can have nothing to do with it; but if it includes the whole \"main watershed above, then the description in his Memorandum tallies with the wording of the Convention.\n\n9. For it must not be forgotten that, as stated above (section 3) the Convention was drafted in English. Now, no Englishman, unless trained in China, would distinguish between \"kung\" in the first tone and \"kung ('hkung'), with an aspirate, in the third. Writing by ear he would set down both as \"kong.\" No Chinese hieroglyph being supplied for this particular name, the translator in London naturally adopted one of those for \"kung\" (without the aspirate), and among the \"kungs\" that one which is in most common use and would harmonize sufficiently well with \"ming\" (\"clear\"), namely \"kung\" (\"just\").\n\n(He took, I suspect, similar liberties with the hieroglyphs to be used for \"Kunlong,\" two paragraphs higher up. I am inclined to think that the \"kuu\" is not \"kung\" (\"work\"), as he wrote it, but \"kun\" (\"whirling water\").)\n\nThe name Kong-Ming-Shan, therefore, of the English text must be taken to represent K'ung-ming Shan, and not, despite the Chinese text, a Kung-ming Shan, if such there be.\n\n3\n\nB 2\n\n[2147 an-1]",

        "content_text": "## Population\n\n4\n\nTimber stored in the yards. Cargo lightered to and from steamers in the outer anchorage is conveyed from and to the town by the Ta-tung-kou.\n\nDuring the military occupation of Antung and Tatungkou, the Japanese military authorities employed a Japanese naval officer to buoy the channel of the Yalu. The Japanese Consul informed me that he had recommended the Corean Government to re-engage this officer, who is now at Yongampho, to continue his work in 1907, and he had hopes that this step would be taken. A chart of the mouth of the Yalu up to Antung, of which I enclose a tracing (`in original`), has been drawn by this officer and can be obtained in Tokio.\n\nA Japanese census, taken on the 31st December, 1905, showed that the winter Chinese population of Antung was about 25,000. The inhabitants are mainly natives of Shantung, earning their living here but returning from time to time to their native province. There is a large immigration in the summer, and the summer population is estimated to be over 60,000.\n\nThe Japanese Consul said he reckoned there were now about 5,000 Japanese in Antung. In the summer of 1906, there had been 8,000, and in 1907, he expected to have 9,000 or 10,000 Japanese subjects under his charge. At Tatungkou, there were only thirty or forty Japanese, most of whom were connected with the military timber yard or Japanese restaurants.\n\nNot more than 1,000 Coreans live in Antung, but, especially during the winter, large numbers cross the river daily to seek employment.\n\nI was unable to obtain figures regarding the Chinese population of Tatungkou, but it is considerably smaller than that of Antung.\n\n## Japanese Settlement\n\nDuring their occupation of Antung, the Japanese military authorities made extensive purchases of land on the right bank of Ch'i-tao-kou below the Chinese town. The Japanese Consul informed me that the sale had been compulsory and the price arbitrary, and the title-deeds and receipts were now deposited at Port Arthur. These sales have, of course, not yet been registered by the Chinese authorities, who do not recognize the status of the Settlement. Mr. Okabe is now acting as the agent of the military authorities in managing transactions in land.\n\nThe area of the Settlement is 9,000 mow, and it extends from the Ch'i-tao-kou along the Yalu for a distance of about 2 miles to a point just beyond the Liu-tao-kou, or Sixth Creek, and from the river bank to the hill slopes on the north-west.\n\nThe low-lying portion of this tract is subject to the same floods as the Chinese town, and the military authorities have accordingly protected the north-eastern portion by an earth embankment and a moat. The dimensions of this embankment are approximately height, 13 feet; breadth on top, 13 feet; breadth at base, 85 feet. Towards the hills, the height is less. The moat or ditch, which is inside the embankment, only extends along the north and east, and is of similar dimensions. In it is collected the drainage of the Settlement and is pumped out into the Ch'i-tao-kou by a large pumping plant. The Mukden-Antung Railway forms the south-western side of the embankment. The portion thus inclosed is not one-third part of the whole area of the military-owned property. It has now been laid out in broad streets crossing at right-angles, the principal roads being roughly metalled. The central and north-eastern quarters are those chiefly built on, and about one-third is at present occupied. Two main streets connect the Settlement with the Chinese town, which is adjacent on the north-east. Chinese heavy carts are not permitted to enter the Settlement, and all traffic is confined to wheel-barrows and the trolleys referred to later on. The statement that Chinese rickshaws are not allowed in the Settlement seems unfounded, for there do not appear to be any in Antung. There are only a few Japanese rickshaws, which charge exorbitant rates. The cart traffic to and from Tatungkou is diverted to the foot of the hills so as to avoid the Settlement.\n\nIn regard to the future status of the Settlement (the whole), the Japanese Consul thought that ultimately it would be divided into two parts, one portion being a Japanese Concession, and the other being reserved for the Mukden-Antung Railway.\n\n| Category | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Land Lease | Land in the inclosed section is leased on twenty years' terms at prices ranging from 5 to 10 yen a tsubo (36 square feet) |\n| Foreign Acquisition | There is no objection to foreigners acquiring sites in the Settlement |\n\nA small portion near the Ch'i-tao-kou has been given to a Chinese connected with the Military Administration, but I do not think other Chinese are allowed to obtain sites in the Settlement. The Consul did not give me a definite answer on this point.\n\nLarge numbers of Japanese still reside in the Chinese town, and the troops are mainly quartered there in private houses. The Chinese authorities want all private persons to be directed to remove to the Japanese Settlement, on the ground that they originally came in the wake of the military, and are alleged to be paying no rent for the houses they occupy. The military have paid nothing for their quarters as yet. Mr. Okabe says he is standing out for the right of free residence in the Treaty port.\n\nOn the map of Antung and district which I enclose, and which is a tracing of one lent me by the Japanese Consul, it will be seen that the land for several miles along the river front from the Japanese Settlement down to beyond San-tao-lang-t'ou is marked as having been purchased by Japanese. The Japanese Consul informed me that these purchases were private transactions effected by about five persons, among them two banks, during the military occupation. The sales have not been registered by the Chinese authorities, and they expressed to me a hope that they would be able to buy out the Japanese at the price originally paid. Mr. Okabe thought this would be a matter for individual bargain, and the present owners would probably try to get the best price they could.\n\nThe effect of these purchases and the acquisition of the Japanese Settlement is that the whole of the river front, along which there is deep water from the Chinese town to San-tao-lang-t'ou, is in Japanese hands, and not only is there no site left for a general foreign Settlement if desired, but any foreigner wishing to obtain sites for wharves and godowns will be forced to purchase at fancy prices from a ring of Japanese owners.\n\nOther tracts of land are also in Japanese occupation, whether by purchase or otherwise, I was unable to ascertain. A large timber-yard occupies a situation above the Native Customs. A saw-mill and commissariat godowns cover a large area above the Ta-sha-ho, and I noticed that the eastern slopes of Yuan Pao Shan, a hill to the north of the railway station, were staked off for the use of the Mukden Railway.\n\n## Railways\n\nThe terminus of the North Corean Railway is at New Wiju, opposite the lower end of the Japanese Settlement. The relaying of this line, which is of standard gauge, is now in progress, and tunnelling operations are being carried on at various points. The journey from Seoul to Fusan now takes one day, and from Seoul to New Wiju two days, the break being made at Pingyang. Freight per ton-mile is 1 cent on the Fusan line, and 5 cents on the Wiju line. It is said that very little goods traffic has passed over this line hitherto, the rolling-stock being required for construction purposes, and the rate of freight high. Since the Yalu closed, however, a considerable amount of stuff is coming forward by rail, and I saw American flour, cigarettes, grain, and other goods being brought over the ice from New Wiju to Antung.\n\n## Bridge\n\nIt is proposed to bridge the river just below the inclosed portion of the Japanese Settlement. On the Corean side, a 20-feet embankment has already been constructed up to the river bank, having room for one track of standard gauge, as an approach to the bridge. Its height above the present level of the ice is approximately 40 feet. On the Chinese side, the track of the light railway through the town has been brought round the back of the Japanese Settlement through cuttings in the hills to a point opposite. I attempted to obtain some details regarding the bridge from the Japanese Consul, but he apparently had little information about it. He said that full details could only be obtained from the North Corean Railway Administration at Seoul.\n\nHe told me, however, that its height is to be 40 feet above high-water level. It will not be a swing bridge. The material is on its way to Antung, and construction will be commenced in the spring and will take two years at least. The construction is being undertaken by the North Corean Railway, but the cost, which will be between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 yen, will be shared equally by the Corean Railway and the Mukden-Antung line. The bridge will belong in equal parts to the two railways. The station at New Wiju will be retained as a goods station.\n\nThe construction of this bridge will effectively prevent any steamers and most sea-going junks from reaching either the native town or the inclosed part of the Japanese Settlement, and will naturally enhance the value of property below it.\n\nNo preparations have yet been made for the reconstruction of this line on the standard gauge.\n\n## Mukden-Antung Railway\n\nIt is expected that the South Manchurian Railway Company will take over the railway in the spring and will commence relaying it. By the terms of the China-Japan Convention of 1905, this has to be completed within the next two years. No compensation has yet been paid for the land occupied by the railway, and the question is awaiting arrangement by the Commissioners appointed by the two Powers. The Vice-President of the South Manchurian Railway Company has recently arrived.\n\n5\n\n604",

(Signed)\n\nALL we know about the works for improving the Wangpoo is-\n\nJ. N. JORDAN.\n\n1. The project put forward by M. de Rijke in 1898-that is, nine years ago; 2. An article in the \"North China Daily News\"; and\n\n3. The Quarterly Reports of the Conservancy Board.\n\nThe project of 1898 must be called obsolete, as the river has in the meantime changed very much. A mere glance at the line of 18 feet depth (see the annexed sketches) shows the great alterations that have taken place. Whereas at the time of the putting forward of the project the continuous line of 18 feet depth from Shanghae down-river did not extend to the Kao Chiao Creek, it runs at present, according to the soundings of 1906, right through as far as the inner bar. I believe I am not mistaken in assuming that even the inner bar has been disappearing more and more, and that therefore there is 18 feet of water at low-water as far as the outer bar. This point, however, will be referred to again later on. Just now I only wish to emphasize the fact that a depth of 18 feet at low water, which it was intended to create by De Rijke's project for the Whangpoo, exists beyond doubt to-day from the arsenal to the inner bar. In spite of these changes in the river, which are also borne out by the Quarterly Reports, nothing has been heard of a remodelling of the original project.\n\nThe project is obsolete also, inasmuch as it is not founded on the financial base which was established by the Agreement, only lately concluded between China and the Powers. A project, with estimate of costs, is, however, required to prove that the proposed works can be carried out technically and within the limits of the available means. And, lastly, it should be mentioned that De Rijke's project extends up-river only as far as the Point (Point Hotel), whereas, by the Agreement, China is obliged to improve the Whangpoo from the arsenal to the mouth of the river.\n\nThese three points-changed river, new established financial base, extension of the project as far as the Arsenal-should suffice by themselves to justify the call for a new project.\n\nI will now try to describe briefly the chief points of De Rijke's project-closing the ship channel and dredging the junk channel. The annexed sketch shows the \"normal lines.\" It appears from them that the Whangpoo is to flow only through one arm, namely, the junk channel. Actually, even to-day it flows only through one arm, but it is the ship channel-not the junk channel-in which there is scarcely any current. The project therefore intends nothing less than to turn the mighty river from the ship channel into the junk channel, to deflect an entire river of the force of the Whangpoo. Should this extremely dangerous and exceedingly costly undertaking be successful, what will be the result? The curve at Pheasant Point will have become a little flatter. This curve, it is true, is at present rather short, but wherever I inquired of English and German captains, I have never heard of difficulties for navigation. One must not forget that in the narrow Suez Canal there is a curve of only 1,130 metres radius, whereas the radius at Pheasant Point measures 1,700 metres, and the river at that place would show a navigable width of 1,000 feet.\n\nBesides, in case, the protruding point of Pheasant Point would have to be dredged away, as has always been proposed by M. de Rijke.\n\nThe advantage of flattening the curve at Pheasant Point must therefore be regarded as too inconsiderable to justify the deflection of a river-the ship channel ---which in all its parts already has the depth the project intends to bring about.\n\nThe author of the project expects much from the working of the flood tide. A glance at the chart shows that the flood tide has produced nothing but a short stretch of deep water at Woosung, whereas the continuous depth of 18 feet water from the Arsenal to the inner bar at least is entirely the work of the ebb tide. Nor could anything else be expected, for in the first place the flood tide runs on an\n\n* Not printed.\n\n3\n\n3 hours 40 minutes, the ebb tide, on the contrary, 6 hours 50 minutes, that average is nearly double the time, and in the second place the flood tide carries most of the sediments into the river and deposits them where the ebb tide is weak, whereas the equable ebb current carries the sediments into the Yang-tsze. This is very clearly seen in the junk channel. In the latter the flood tide has deposited its sediments because the ebb current passes through the ship channel. Naturally the improvement of the bed of the ebb current in the ship channel has carried with it an increased silting up of the junk channel. It would, therefore, for this reason also appear to be more advisable to pass through the ship channel with the ebb tide because the nature of things affords security that the navigable course, as soon as determined within its banks, will always be preserved. The inner bar need scarcely be taken into account; even if most of it has not already disappeared, it is certainly decreasing. This pleasing fact is due to a measure of M. de Rijke's, which was, it is true, most likely taken with a different object in view. It had been found out, as was, in fact, known before, that on the lower portion of Gough Island cross channels had formed, through which the incoming flood tide partly ran into the ship channel. In order to compel the flood tide to run through the junk channel the future navigable course, the cross channels were closed by a long dam. The consequence was not, indeed, an improvement of the junk channel, but of the ship channel, for whereas formerly also part of the ebb water was able to run through cross channels into the junk channel, the ebb current in the ship channel was now constrained by the new dam, and had to pass with its full force the inner bar, therewith, however, the inner bar lost its raison d'être—that is, it is disappearing. In spite of this extremely favourable condition of the river in the ship channel the latter is now to be given up at enormous expense and exceedingly great danger to navigation.\n\nThe question of expense need not detain us long. Of course, even where the configuration of the river is very simple, it must be very much more costly to dig a new river bed, and to divert a river into it, than to retain an old bed with a sufficient depth of water. To what a vertiginous height the expenses of improving the Whangpoo will mount will perhaps be clear when one considers that, at the very spot where there is a most powerful current, a dam is to be built right across the river in order to block it. From the chart it is seen that at the upper end of Gough Island the new portion of the river leaves the junk channel and crosses the ship channel, the new right bank of the river, closing the ship channel in a concave line. Assuming that they have succeeded in building this new bank across the river, then as at present proposed, it will have its foundation on the present river bottom, that is, at a depth of 18 feet. The river gives evidence in all its concave banks of a strong inclination to scoop out its bed to a depth of 30 feet to 40 feet, which means that the new bank would have only a short lease of life and soon fall in, its foundation being undermined. Then the river will divide anew, perhaps, in two equal arms, which, on that account, are useless for navigation, not to mention the difficulties caused by the remains of the dams.\n\nBut the greatest difficulty would be the construction of the dam itself.\n\nAt present they are busy pushing forward the dam from the upper end of Gough Island. This will go on right enough so long as they are not in the main current, but as soon as the latter will have been reached the river, made still more furious by the constraint put upon it, will with all its weight resist the intrusion. Behind the end of the dam whirlpools will form, which will tear up the river-bed and cause the dam to fall in; besides, the river, forced by the dam of Gough Island, will seek to still more undermine its right bank. How great the technical difficulties caused by the strong current will be may be estimated by the fact that nearly all the defence works in the ship channel (see Quarterly Reports of the Conservancy Board,\" Shore Defence Works\") have fallen in, and have apparently for the present been given up; and this notwithstanding their being called in August 1906 \"the most urgent work which is now occupying M. de Rijke's attention.\" If the mere defending of an old bank causes difficulties, what is to become of the new concave lines?\n\nAnd now, in conclusion, let me say a few words on the great danger to navigation.\n\nTo dredge the junk channel without leading through it the water of the ship channel is technically impossible. M. de Rijke is of the same opinion, and intends, therefore, to begin by making the ship channel lower by means of dams of sink-work, \"which will help to kill the tide in that part of the river.\" Then he continues: \"These dams will be put down in eight or more places, and by degrees the current will be deflected towards the junk channel.\" Accordingly, they will begin dredging\n\n75",

It may be assumed that Shanghai may will be cut off from the sea for about a year. On the other hand, what is to become of the river if, in spite of the proposed dams or sink-works in the ship channel, the ebb current should not be deflected towards the junk channel, but should circumvent the dams or sink-work laterally, only still more tearing down its bank? We all know how easily the alluvial soil in those parts is moved and dissolved. If a harder obstacle is placed in the river, the latter will circumvent it, as it has done with the defence works, and will turn against its banks. In case that should happen, we should for a very long time have a disturbed navigable course, for to get the \"zinkstuks\" heavily loaded with stones out of the water again will certainly not be an easy task.\n\nIn the article of the \"North China Daily News\" of the 27th August, 1906, it is said, under \"Restraining Works\"; \"The ship channel is, of course, far deeper than the bars, and the restraining works for the purpose of turning the stream gradually into the junk channel will not in any way impede navigation.\" That is to say, the ship channel is first to be filled up to the height of the bar. We should then have a bar of the length of the ship channel. It is quite possible for steamers to pass a short bar at a favourable time, but it is impossible to pass so long a stretch of river; with so little water underneath, a ship would no longer obey the helm, and injuries to ships would be unavoidable. But what of the whole question, after it has been found that the inner bar has disappeared or is in course of disappearing? To-day, therefore, there would no longer be any question of filling up to the height of the bar, but only of creating an entirely new and long bar. If to-day the outer bar is removed, then the way as far as Shanghai will be free for large vessels until the completion of this work,\n\nFrom what has been said it appears necessary that M. de Rijke should give a more detailed explanation, so that it may be possible to see what shape his project has taken on at present, and whether the assumptions on which the foregoing remarks have been based, and which take into consideration the information hitherto available, will hold good also in future. If that is the case, or if the answer does not show that a fundamental alteration of the original project removing the doubts advanced above has taken place, or if it is not possible to obtain an answer without delay, it appears best, in view of the doubtful success, the exceedingly high expenditure, and the steadily improving navigable course (of the ship channel) for the present only to remove the outer bar, and to cease working on Gough Island until all apprehensions shall have been cleared away. By this temporary stopping of the work on Gough Island the result of the whole undertaking will, technically, in no way be jeopardized or prejudiced.\n\nBut if these things are allowed to go on, a good navigable course will, without the least immediate gain, be unnecessarily exposed to the greatest danger—a navigable course the perfecting of which would be feasible within the limits of an expenditure by no means unreasonable.\n\n(Signed)\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nH. SCHNELLHOSS,\n\nMemorandum by German Shipping Firms at Shanghai.\n\nWE, the Undersigned, representing the largest German shipping interest in Shanghai, respectfully beg to submit to the Imperial German Consulate-General the following:\n\nThe chart of the Whangpoo River, published of late by the Whangpoo River Conservancy Board, and the Quarterly Reports of this Board, as well as recent soundings, show that the Whangpoo River during the last few years has continually improved, and this, indeed, to such an extent that the so-called \"Inner Bar\" has almost disappeared, and that there is to-day from the arsenal to the mouth of the river a uniform depth of at least 18 feet at lowest water level; in other words, the result which the work now commenced by the River Conservancy tries to achieve is already almost in existence.\n\nM. de Rijke's scheme, as far as we know, intends to close up the present fairway—the so-called \"Ship Channel\"—and to open in place of it the \"Junk Channel,\" which is at present entirely silted up. If we now compare the opinion and inferences given by M. de Rijke in his earlier Report with the findings given in the Quarterly Reports about the present state of the river, there is, no doubt, reason for grave misgivings, viz., that by the execution of the present scheme the shipping on the Whangpoo might possibly be endangered most seriously.\n\nWe beg to give some extracts from M. de Rijke's Report and the Quarterly Reports referring also to the new chart:—\n\nExtracts from the Report to the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce on the Water Approaches to Shanghai, by J. de Rijke. Dated, Tokio, the 10th January, 1898.\n\nShip Channel Decreasing.\n\n§ XXXV.\n\nPage 12. \"The Ship Channel, through which every sea vessel has still to pass, is decreasing very perceptibly, as can be seen from the cross sections.\"\n\n§ XXXVI\n\n\"It is plain that the Ship Channel at its upper end has everything in its favour for the ebb current to enter it, but by the increasing deposits in its lower end the ebb cannot make its way through...\n\nPage 13. \"The greater quantity of ebb water flows down along the much wider and more capacious Junk Channel.\n\n\"The passage (over the inner bar) might still be kept open for another period, but it should be borne in mind that all the while the general deterioration of the river is going on at an increased rate, and that the Ship Channel is steadily losing in depth and width and in power to maintain itself.\n\n\"So much is now perfectly clear that in case this section of the river has to be improved by regulating works, by which to form one uniform channel instead of the two, that channel must be the Junk Channel, and not the other, the Ship Channel.\"\n\nPage 43. To regulate properly the barrier reach between Kajow and Pheasant Point to one uniform channel, i.e., without interfering too much with the present navigation, and what is of still greater importance, without causing further obstructions to the tide, is not at all an easy work, nor can this be done in a hurry; there is, however, one thing that promises to facilitate this greatly, viz., the natural tendency, already existing, of the main currents to follow the Junk Channel.”\n\nExtracts from the Quarterly Reports of the Whangpoo Conservancy Board, showing the present state of the Whangpoo.\n\nThe Depth all along Ship Channel has much increased, Junk Channel is blocked by increased silting.\n\n(See Quarterly Reports of the Whangpoo Conservancy Board.)\n\nNovember 9, 1906.\n\n\"The extraordinary ebb from flooded lagoons and long-continued high water in the Yang-tsze, beating back the flood tide, has had a bad effect on the Junk Channel—the proposed future fairway, causing it to silt up, while the Ship Channel, which will later on be gradually shoaled, has deepened; this, it is feared, means increased expenditure at a future date.\"\n\nJanuary 26, 1907.\n\n\"The depth of water in the river generally has greatly increased owing to the heavy rains, remarked on last quarter, washing out the channel (Ship Channel), and consequently defence work has proved more difficult. Gough Island reach, where some of the largest works have to be made, has grown much deeper, and the shallowing of the Ship Channel will be much more expensive than at first estimated.\"\n\nApril 20, 1907.\n\nEarly in January, when the flood tides entering the river were regaining strength and finding Junk Channel blocked by increased silting.\n\nsome increase of depth on the inner bar are very satisfactory,\n\n\"A resounding of Gough Island reach shows that the depth all along Ship Channel has increased, while Junk Channel has shallowed.\n\nCompared with previous surveys, the general conditions of the river's mouth and the outer bar is much better than before.\"",

Kajow Ship Channel better than ever.\n\nBar.\n\n§ XLV.\n\nPage 16. \"After having proceeded thus far in my Report, I received further soundings\n\n\"These soundings give additional evidence of the fact that before long the Ship Channel—the present fairway—must become entirely impassable for the deeper craft still calling at Shanghae. Owing to\n\nthe increased diversion of the stream from the main channel above Gough Island to the Junk Channel, a new bar is making itself more and more conspicuous just in front of the Kajow Creek.\n\n\"It may be taken as certain that this bar has come to stay and, no doubt, to grow higher.\n\nThere is no doubt that on the other hand the inner bar will feel more and more the influence of the new one.\"\n\nAdvantage of the Kajow Bar.\n\n$ XLV.\n\nPage 17. \"Although the swallowing up of the Ship Channel and the formation of a new bar at the upper entrance is attended with a general increase in the power of the river, yet the bar at Kajow has one great advantage, viz., that it diverts the main stream during ebb tides to the much more desired direction, that is, to the Junk Channel. If the river is to be improved by regulation, a series of works, forming a new concave shore on the right shore would have to be made, by which to shift over to the left the main channel from a distance above Kajow.\n\n\"The forcing over of the main stream of a river like this, without causing new impediments, and without much interrupting navigation, is often found to be a very difficult task, even when using numbers of men skilled in such work. It becomes all the easier when, as is now the case, the whole of the stream tends to flow that way.\"\n\nBar.\n\nNo Kajow\n\nCompare with the new chart of the Whangpoo River published by the Whangpoo Conservancy Office, which shows that where there formerly has been the Kajow Bar there is very deep water now. But the Dries' in the upper part of the Junk Channel have become regular islands covered with green.\n\n\"As there is no longer a Kajow Bar which diverts the main stream to the Junk Channel, but, on the contrary, the whole of the stream tends to flow through the Ship Channel, the opinion of M. de Rijke, which still holds good, must now be read as follows, viz: The forcing over of the main stream of a river like this, without causing new impediments, and without much interrupting navigation, will be a very difficult task, even when using numbers of men skilled in such work.\"\n\nThe present state of the river as described in the Quarterly Reports shows that the surmises on which the scheme of 1898 was based have not been verified. Exactly the contrary of M. de Rijke's surmises has happened, viz., the depth of the junk channel has not increased and the ship channel has not shallowed, but the depth of the ship channel has increased and the junk channel has entirely silted up. The scheme intended to make use of the junk channel because it was believed that the natural tendency of the river would be to flow through the junk channel. From the above comparison, based solely on observations published by the River Conservancy Board itself, it is obvious that exactly the contrary of what was generally expected has happened. The Whangpoo in its present fairway from the Arsenal to the Yang-tsze has throughout a depth of at least 18 feet at lowest water, the Kajow bar has given place to deep water, the ship channel in its whole length has improved very considerably, the inner bar is not only gradually decreasing (and that since a time when according to former statistics it ought to have been in its worst state), but is to-day only a short narrowing of the deep fairway.\n\nFrom the foregoing we can only draw the following conclusions, and the following questions must necessarily arise:--\n\n1. According to M. de Rijke's own words: \"The forcing over of the main stream of a river like this, without causing new impediments, and without much interrupting navigation is often found to be a very difficult task, even when using numbers of men skilled in such work.\" The Kajow bar which would facilitate this \"forcing over\" has entirely disappeared, and there must now be a certain danger if it is tried. Is it under these circumstances advisable to run such an incalculable and enormous risk? Or what security does M. de Rijke's scheme give that in the course of its execution shipping will not be seriously hampered or even interrupted?\n\n2. The expense of the ship channel's closing up under the present conditions will be—as admitted by the Quarterly Reports—much higher than at first estimated. Will this amount there are at the disposal twenty annual rates of 160,000 taels each.\n\nunder all circumstances suffice for the complete execution of M. de Rijke's scheme?\n\n3. If these two questions cannot be answered with certainty, might it not be taken into serious consideration to make use of the natural tendency of the river, choosing the present fairway (ship channel), by improving and strengthening it? It is quite obvious that thereby the shipping can in no way be hampered and moreover the expenses will be considerably smaller.\n\nWe, the Undersigned, now respectfully ask the Imperial German Consulate-General to take such steps through the proper channels as will have the effect to elicit from M. de Rijke an exhaustive answer to the above questions.\n\nWe would like to mention that our misgivings are shared by experts.\n\nIn conclusion, it seems absolutely necessary that until our questions are satisfactorily answered no work is to be commenced which might unfavourably influence the ship channel fairway.\n\nAs this matter does not only concern the shipping, but is of vital importance to all Shanghae we have addressed the \"Deutsche Vereinigung\" and have requested the same to forward a translation of our Petition with the request of kind co-operation to the Chamber of Commerce and all Shanghae Associations interested in this question.\n\nSir,\n\nShanghae, October 26, 1907.\n\nMELCHERS AND CO.\n\n(Signed) Hamburg-Amerika Linie,\n\n(Signed)\n\nK.

Butterfield and Swire's consignment of coal now on board the above ship.\n\nAs, however, it now appears from the accounts in the press that the matter has become one of international importance, I will endeavour to put you in possession of the established facts of the case and the contention of the parties interested in it.\n\nThe following are the bare facts :-\n\nOn the 30th January the \"Tatsu Maru II\" sailed from Moji having on board 1,714 tons of coal under a part charter signed at Kobe by a Japanese agent \"by telegraphic authority from Butterfield and Swire.\" This part charter, which has been shown me, was merely to carry about 2,000 tons of coal from Moji to Hong Kong, \"with liberty to deviate for the purpose of saving life and property.\" The steamer, however, went direct to Macao, and anchored at a spot about 7 nautical miles from the Macao Lighthouse and about 2 miles off Koho Point, which is in the eastern extremity of the island, called in the chart Hobo Island, but known locally as Kwo Lu Wan.\n\nThe Chinese had been warned by a telegram that a shipment of arms was being made by the steamer, and on the 5th February she was boarded by Chinese gun-boats, accompanied by a launch belonging to the Imperial Maritime Customs of Lappa, and brought to Canton.\n\nThe Chinese contention is that the ship had committed a breach of the last paragraph of Article V of the Japanese Treaty of 1896; that she had on board 2,250 Mauser rifles and (I think) some 50,000 rounds of cartridges, and that her hatches were opened and derricks ready for discharging the arms in Chinese territory.\n\nThe Japanese contention, as far as I can gather, is that the arms were exported from Kobe to Macao under a proper Government permit; that the ship was duly cleared for Macao, and that she was as near to Macao as her draught of 23 feet permitted.\n\nIt is further averred that the Japanese flag was insulted by being hauled down after the seizure, the Chinese flag being substituted for it; that the seizure was made by order of, and by the employés\n\n[2921 aa-1]",

Moreover, that the rules in question (Rule 5) preclude the appellant from claiming indemnity for the seizure, to which indemnity the Japanese Government consider the ship is justly entitled.\n\nThe Portuguese Government of Macao hold that the \"Tatsu Maru II\" was seized in Portuguese waters; that the island called in the chart Koho Island (locally known as Kwo Lu Wan), 24 miles from which the seizure took place, was Portuguese territory long before the signing of the Protocol and Treaty of 1887, which maintained the statu quo ante of Macao and its dependencies; that at that date Portugal had long had a fort and picket of soldiers on the island, and has now in addition a leper hospital there. I have been shown a despatch dated some three years back from the Viceroy Tsen asking for the extradition of a criminal said to be in concealment on the Island of Kwo Lu Wan.\n\nThe Macao Government therefore consider that the seizure of the \"Tatsu Maru II\" constitutes a violation of their territorial waters, and have protested accordingly. They further aver that the rifles and ammunition were legally imported under permit by a licensed arms dealer, and that, in accordance with ordinary practice, a Government launch, having the Assistant Harbour-master and a file of soldiers on board, had towed a lighter to the ship, but tides being unfavourable, had withdrawn for a time, when the seizure took place. On returning to the ship, access to it was denied.\n\nI have been to considerable trouble to verify the above statements as far as possible, and believe them to be in the main correctly given. I have not, however, been able to verify a statement of the Chinese authorities as to an excess of arms over the amount given in the ship's manifest, which was 1,500 rifles. From the fact that when I applied to the Viceroy for delivery of Messrs. Butterfield and Swire's coal, he replied that he had referred my demand to the Commissioner of Customs, it would appear that his (the Viceroy's) action has all along been guided by Commissioner King's advice, which does not seem to have been always judicious. As usual, the native papers are raising a great outcry, and a boycott of Japanese trade is freely discussed.

Mr. Clementi is a traveller of experience, whose observations are worthy of attention.\n\nI should mention that the Belgian Syndicate referred to as being represented at Lan-chou by a M. Splingaert is no doubt a concern dealing with the contracts which I reported upon in my despatches Nos. 270 and 274 of the 7th and 19th June, 1907.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed) J. N. JORDAN,\n\n(No. 1.

Jordan.\n\nCh'engtu, February 3, 1908.\n\nI HAVE the honour to report that Mr. Cecil Clementi, Assistant Colonial Secretary at Hong Kong, arrived here on the 18th January, on his return from furlough in Europe, having made a long and interesting journey through Central Asia.\n\nMr. Clementi travelled by train from Moscow to Andijan, in Russian Turkestan, thence he continued his journey on horseback over the Alai Mountains to Kashgar, in Chinese Turkestan. From Kashgar he travelled to Turfan and Hami, vid Aksu, Kuchar, and Korla, and so across the Gobi Desert to Ngansi-chou. He entered China proper at Su-chou, from where he rode through the Province of Kansu to Lan-chou, the capital. From Lan-chou, he came to Ch'in-chou, thence proceeding south and entering Szechuan by the Pai Shui Ho (or Chialing River) at Kuang Yuan Hsien.\n\nFrom Andijan to Kashgar, Mr. Clementi made thirteen stages; from Kashgar to Ch'engtu, 135 stages. The distance between the two latter places is, according to Chinese reckoning, 12,061 li, say 3,000 miles. Mr. Clementi, who travelled alone, engaging mafoos and mule drivers at various places en route, carried with him a set of surveying instruments which have enabled him to make a careful plane table survey of the road from Kashgar to Ch'engtu.\n\nIn Chinese territory, Mr. Clementi, who speaks \"Mandarin\" fluently, experienced no difficulties of any kind, being everywhere well received and hospitably entertained by the officials and people. In Russian Turkestan, on the other hand, the local authorities made a determined attempt to prevent him continuing his journey, although he carried a British Foreign Office passport which had been “viséd” by the Russian Consul-General in London. He was, in fact, turned back a few stages beyond Andijan, and obliged to wait some days at that place while the Foreign Office in St. Petersburgh and the British Ambassador were being communicated with. Eventually, the Governor of Andíjan received orders to allow Mr. Clementi to proceed. He tells me that he was surprised at the strong anti-British feeling displayed by most of the Russian officials with whom he came in contact, which he attributes to their conviction that the British Government assisted Japan in the late war. One official plainly told him that he would do his best to prevent any Englishman from entering China through Russian territory.\n\nMr. Clementi found a Russian Consul and a branch of the Russo-Chinese Bank at Kashgar; there are, he informs me, Russian Consuls stationed at Urumtsi, Kuldja, and Uliasutai.

That being the state of affairs at the time of the Treaty of 1887, the Viceroy of Canton in stationing troops in the old quarters is acting in accordance with the Treaty, which provided for the maintenance of the status quo pending a delimitation.\".\n\nThe Portuguese Government now desires to settle this question in an amicable manner, and the Wai-wu Pu assuredly share that desire, but as the Portuguese Government raises the question of the observance of Article 2 of the Treaty the Board (should state that they) cannot consider the stationing of troops on Heng-ch'in Island (Vong-cam) and other places as a violation of the Treaty. China is the original lord of the land, and excluding (that which is administered by) Macao, according to the method of leased territory, the rest remains under Chinese jurisdiction.\n\nAt present all the two Governments have to do is to observe the stipulation of Article 2, that, so long as the delimitation of the boundaries is not concluded, everything in respect of them shall continue as at present without alteration by either parties. The request in the despatch under acknowledgment to withdraw troops stationed at Lappa, Heng-ch'in, and other places, and the statement that the places administered and guarded before the conclusion of the Treaty should for ever remain under the jurisdiction of the Portuguese Government are matters which the Wai-wu Pu finds it impossible to agree to.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\n(Extract.)\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nMr. Porter to Sir J.

It is apparently identical with Annang, which appears on Admiralty Chart No. 2737, opposite the southern point of Macao, at the entrance to the inner harbour.\n\nThe Portuguese Consul-General here has no map of Macao, and, unless the Macao Government have one, it would seem as if none existed showing surroundings in full.\n\nA new fort has been constructed on the top of the east point, and the fort at the north end of the Praya has been added to. Two quick-firing guns have been mounted in the former, commanding approach from Canton.\n\nRoad-making is going on actively, and the Praya is being continued round to the inner harbour. There are 600 Portuguese troops in the garrison, with 50-60 Macao Chinese.\n\nI am told that \"Governors\" of both Kolowan and Taipa have been appointed, the latter being the slayer of one of King Carlos' assassins.\n\nAFFAIRS OF CHINA.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[32666]\n\n(No. 851.)

It was supplied to him, I understand, by an official of the Singapore Government, who examined Li Yau-heng, one of the leaders in the movement.\n\nA few days after Dr. Morrison's telegram was published the case was stated at length in the \"Times\" from the French standpoint, and a perusal of all these various documents left one in considerable doubt as to the points in dispute between the French and Chinese Governments and the degree of responsibility attaching to each.\n\nThe Phalong incident has since then been made the subject of a joint investigation which the French claim, and which the Chinese, I believe, do not seriously dispute, proves the Chinese troops to have been guilty not only of violating the frontier, but of having killed Lieutenant Weigand and three of his men.\n\nThe French Minister has courteously furnished me with a copy of a note which he intends to present to the Wai-wu Pu within the next few days. This document, of which a copy is inclosed, formulates the demands for reparation which France claims at the hands of the Chinese Government. But M. Bapst, in forwarding the paper to me, explained in a private note that these demands are only to be regarded as furnishing satisfaction for recent outrages, and that \"the account for the unhandsome conduct of China towards France during the last two or three years will remain open.\"\n\nAs bearing upon the demand for the removal of the Viceroy, I should mention that on the 25th instant the Acting British Consul-General at Yünnan-fu telegraphed to me the substance of an interview which he had with his Excellency Hsi Liang, and suggested that, if I saw no objections, I should inform the Chinese Government that, in his view and that of his predecessor, it was due to the Viceroy's action that what at one time threatened to be a serious insurrectionary movement was so promptly checked.\n\nIn my reply of the 28th instant I informed Mr. Wilton that I considered it inadvisable to act upon his suggestion. Any such intimation would probably, I explained, be regarded and quoted by the Chinese Government as a justification of their resistance to French demands. I therefore instructed him, while continuing to cultivate good relations with the Viceroy, to maintain an attitude of absolute abstention in all that pertained to the dispute between his Excellency and the French.\n\nI have, &c.

Liang Cheng, President of the Company, will, I venture to think, place you in possession of the latest and most authentic information regarding the affairs of the Canton-Hankow Railway :-\n\nThe President began by informing me that the annual general meeting of shareholders, held on the 27th instant at the Company's Head Office in Canton, had this year passed off in the most satisfactory manner. The attendance at the meeting had been unusually large, and the election of the three new Directors (one-third of the Directorate retire annually in rotation) had proceeded without a hitch. The meeting had been attended by the Provincial Treasurer, Provincial Judge, and two other officials as Representatives of the Viceroy and the Central Government. The rumour that these gentlemen had been appointed a Committee of Investigation was, said the President, without foundation in fact.\n\nSir C. Liang Cheng admitted that the appointment of Chang Chih Tung as the \"Tu Pan,\" or Director-General, of the railway had at first been received with some misgivings on his own part, and considerable opposition on the part of the shareholders. But, he went on to say, as a result of telegrams exchanged between himself on behalf of the Company, the Railway Board, and Chiang Chih Tung, the latter's status had been explained and defined, and he believed that a majority of the shareholders now welcomed the appointment. The Director-General would not interfere in any way with the construction of the line or the management of the Company, but would exercise a general supervision over the three sections of the line. His great influence in all the provinces through which the line would pass would enable him to smooth over any difficulties that might occur when the time came to link up the three sections, and he would in the meantime make it his business to see that the work of construction was pushed forward as expeditiously as possible all along the line.\n\nThe above statement, which I have quoted, to the best of my recollection, almost textually, represents, I imagine, the President's official view of the appointment. From certain expressions which he let fall at a later stage of the interview, I gather that he is not altogether pleased with the new arrangement, and that he will probably make it an excuse for relinquishing his post as soon as he conveniently can.\n\nSir C. Liang Cheng said that it was quite untrue that the Company were in financial difficulties. They had a sum of 2,500,000 taels odd deposited in various banks; they had 700,000 taels' worth of railway materials in their godowns at Wang Sha (the Canton terminus), rails, sleepers, and cars to the value of 800,000 taels on their way out to China, and the passenger traffic on the 25 miles open to Kuantien was bringing in about 14,000 dollars per mensem. He considered the Company still possessed, in cash and material, some 65 per cent, of their original capital of 8,000,000 dollars.\n\nThey expected to obtain at least 8,000,000 dollars from their second call on the shares, but he had been assured that 5,000,000 dollars would be sufficient to carry the line (not completed, but open to light traffic) to the Hunan border.\n\nAsked how the collection of the second call of 1 dol. 50 c. per share was progressing, Sir C. Liang Cheng said the money was coming in slowly but satisfactorily. There had been some murmuring because the two years' interest on the first instalment of the shares was not paid out, but deducted from the second; but he said the majority of the smaller shareholders were content with the arrangement, which saved time and money.\n\nThe 1 dollar shares now stand at 75 cents, ex dividend, and there was some demand for them.\n\nThe President informed me that in about ten days' time the line would be open to passenger traffic as far as Yin Chan Ao, 35 miles from Canton, The embankment will shortly be completed as far as Ying Tak, and the surveyors are expected to reach Shao Kuan (Shao Chou Fu) early in October.\n\nThe line was not seriously damaged by the great floods, but in several places in the Ying Tak district new alignments have had to be made and the levels raised.\n\nThe Company were experiencing considerable difficulty in the purchase of land, and, as in the case of the Canton-Kowloon line, the expenditure under this head far exceeded the original estimate. The Viceroy's assistance had now been invoked, and he had recently issued a Proclamation warning contumacious land-owners that their land would be expropriated if they refused to accept reasonable terms. I understand the prices offered by the Company range from 60 to 100 taels per mou. The gentry are to assist in assessing values. One month will be given for the owner to make up his mind, and if at the expiry of that period he refuses to sell, the land required will be taken over and the purchase-money deposited with the local officials.\n\n3\n\nThe scheme for a branch line to Sanui had not been abandoned, said the President. An influential party amongst the shareholders were strongly in favour of it, and they hoped, in view of the good progress the trunk line was making, to obtain the Railway Board's sanction to the undertaking.\n\nWith regard to the engagement of a European accountant, Sir Chen-tung Liang said that, while he himself was in favour of appointing Mr. Chard to the post, the engineer-in-chief, Kwang, and some of the other Directors were opposed to the appointment on the ground that Mr. Chard had no experience of railway accounts. I said I thought the Company would have to pay pretty heavily if they required the services of a first-class railway accountant, and it seemed to me that Mr. Chard's experience of China and his knowledge of banking methods gave him exceptional qualifications for the work he would have to do.\n\nThe President agreed, and again said that he himself would like to secure Mr. Chard's services. I suggested that Mr. Chard might be willing to accept a short engagement—say, for three or six months, as it were—on probation, when his fitness for the post might be tested.\n\nThe President promised to consider this suggestion, and said that in any case he would let me know if the Directors decided to engage a railway accountant.\n\nAt the conclusion of our interview, Sir Chen-tang Liang, who had throughout volunteered information and replied to my questions in the most courteous, open manner, handed me an advance copy of a Circular which is to be distributed among the shareholders, containing copies of the correspondence with regard to the appointment of Chang Chih Tung above referred to. A translation of this Circular is being made, and will be forwarded by first opportunity.\n\nI am forwarding a copy of this despatch to the Governor of Hong Kong, and duplicate copies for the Legation under flying seal to His Majesty's Consul-General at Hankow.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed)\n\nH. H. FOX.",

WITH reference to the fourth paragraph of my despatch No. 317 of the 14th July last, I have the honour to transmit to you herewith copy of a despatch from the Acting British Consul-General at Mukden, inclosing copy of a Report by Mr. Hughes, M.I.C.E., upon a site for a new ice-free port for Manchuria.\n\nI have, &c.

I HAVE the honour to inclose copy of a Report by Mr. Willoughby R. Hughes, M.I.C.E., who was recently instructed by the Manchurian Government to survey the coast-line between Tien Chiao Chang and Shan Hai Kwan, with the view of finding a port, ice-free if possible, suitable both in summer and winter for the commerce of Manchuria.\n\nIn Hu La Tao, Mr. Hughes seems to have found a harbour more satisfactory than was generally expected. The only question seems to be as to whether the trade of the country warrants a large expenditure on a port between Newchwang and Ching-wang-tao, the latter of which is open throughout the winter.\n\nMy own impression is that in this direction the improvement of the Liao River should be the first object of the Manchurian Government, and that the construction of a new commercial harbour might well wait until this has been accomplished, and, further, until the question of the extension of the Chinese Northern Railway has been definitely settled.\n\nMr. Hughes informed me that he was about to undertake a preliminary survey of the Liao almost immediately, and he was also under instructions to make periodical visits to Hu Lu Tao during the coming winter.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nR.

        "content_text": "# Report on the Examination of the Coast for a Suitable Port\n\nI went to Shanghae and saw the Coast Inspector, Captain Tyler, and procured from him a rough chart of the place and other information regarding it.\n\nOn the 13th August, I proceeded to Hulutao, which is situated some 25 or 30 li by cart road south of Lienshan Station, on the Imperial Chinese Railway. It is a promontory running out into the sea, in a direction, roughly speaking, at right angles to the coast-line from east to west, its western extremity joining the mainland, and its eastern end projecting nearly 6 further out into the sea. It is covered with numerous rounded hills, the highest being 400 feet in height. On the northern side, the water is very shallow, and on the south, it is deep, with a uniform mud bottom.\n\nI made a close examination and survey of the bay, checking the soundings which had been made previously, noting the tides, &c., so as to be able to judge of its suitability. I remained there for nine days, and during that time, there was high wind and a rough sea from the south and south-west, which interrupted our operations, but gave good illustration of the place under unfavourable conditions in summer. This experience was valuable as showing the direction it would be necessary to give to a break-water in order to give complete shelter in summer.\n\nI made many inquiries of the people living there and others acquainted with the place in winter in order to get what information I could regarding the extent to which it may be considered ice-free. They all agree that, although extremely cold, the ice does not form over all the bay on the south side till late in the season, and then for about ten days only. Also, that even then there is always open water with drift ice beyond the promontory, and this open water appears to be about 4 li wide, and to extend all along the coast to the south-west from one projecting part of the coast-line to another, which should make navigation practicable. Some of my informants were of the opinion that access to the bay might sometimes be difficult, if not impossible, for about a month in the season, but they were not all agreed that it would be for so long a time. They maintain that the ice when it does form will not bear a man's weight, so that it is unsafe to walk upon. The tidal current seems to run very strong in that place, and there is a rise of tide of 10 feet, which may account for the ice being broken up, or not getting time enough to form properly.\n\nFrom Hulutao, I proceeded down the coast first of all to Hunter's Point or Wang Hai Szu, which seemed also a likely place, but on examination proved to be unsuitable on account of rock and stones on the north-east side and shallow on the south-west, which is said to be constantly frozen.\n\nI went to Ning Yuen Chou and inspected the coast in that vicinity, more especially a place called Wa Sze Tao or Tung Yao Chan, which is only about 18 li from the railway line. Here we took soundings out to a distance of 2,000 feet from the shore in an east and west direction and also from north to south, but found the water too shallow, and from its position, the place seems liable to be frozen up in winter, except where fully exposed to the winds beyond the coast-line and outside the shelter of the hills. That this is the case is also confirmed by statements of villagers living there.\n\nI then went to Chu Hua Tao, on the south-east coast of which is a place which might have served excellently well if our object had been the selection of a small naval port instead of a commercial one. The island is 3 miles long from north-east to south-west; it has numerous hills, some of which are about 800 feet high, and is situated about 6 miles from the mainland, the intervening water being extremely shallow. It seemed that it might be practicable to make a road from the mainland to the island, but it is subject to very rough seas sometimes at high water, which would make such a road a very expensive undertaking in itself. On the island, which is very fertile, are some excellent quarries of granite, where stone has been procured for bridges on the Imperial railways. The water is 40 to 50 feet deep in a sheltered bay on the south-west corner, where the tidal current keeps it free of ice, but its distance from the mainland makes it impracticable as a commercial port. But this fact and the ease with which it could be fortified, its great depth of water, sheltered situation, and other advantages make it worthy of note as a possible naval port for the north. It is situated about 40 miles north of Chin Wang Tao and 20 miles south of Hulutao. If not entirely ice-free, it would have advantages over such a place as the Russian Vladivostock.\n\nAfter leaving Chu Hua Tao, I went to Shan Hai Kuan, but apart from the disadvantage of its nearness to Chinwangtao, I found no suitable place in that locality. It has shallow water and little shelter, so that its bays are constantly frozen out to the coast-line, and it has very little rise of tide to break up the ice.\n\nI finally went to Tien Chiao Chang to judge of the conditions at Chinchow Bay, but found it an impracticable place as a winter port, and only useful for junks in the open season. The water is so shallow that the largest junks have to anchor at a distance of 20 li from the shore: any attempt, therefore, to improve the place by dredging or otherwise would involve prohibitive expenditure. The water is frozen there to the bottom in winter, and Kaochiao is even in a worse condition.\n\nThe result of my examination of the coast has been, therefore, to show decisively that Hulutao is the most suitable, if not the only fit place for a port between Newchwang and Shanhaikuan, and it is fortunately an exceedingly good one, both from its natural conditions and its situation as regards the trade of a large part of Manchuria.\n\nConsidering it first as a winter port, there is not sufficiently accurate knowledge of the winter condition of the Gulf of Liaotung to enable one to judge with any certainty of the period during which it is open to navigation.\n\nWe know that the Liao River is frozen up from about the 24th November to the middle of March, but the fresh water of the river freezes at a temperature much higher than sea water, and before it reaches Newchwang, the waters of the Liao have been cooled to the freezing point by passing through an immense distance of frozen country.\n\nFrom the thermometer records kept at the Harbour-master's office at Newchwang, it appears that through the night, the temperatures are below the freezing point of sea water for two months, from about the end of December till the middle of January, yet the day temperatures are generally so very much higher as to make it probable that the warmth of the days counteracts in a great measure the effect of the cold nights.\n\nConsidering also that the currents and high rise of tide will in themselves break up the ice formed at night time, and that Hulutao, from the configuration of the hills behind it, is fully exposed to the off-shore winds from the north-west, which are frequent at that season, it is easily seen how the ice may be blown to sea and out of the bay, once its connection with the shore is broken. There is no record of ships encountering ice in the gulf when coming to Newchwang after the river is open to navigation.\n\nI am inclined to think, therefore, that the difficulties regarding the ice will not be found so serious as is generally supposed, and that it is highly probable that Hulutao will only be closed to navigation during the coldest months in the year, say, from the middle of January till the middle of February. This can only be satisfactorily proved by making the practical demonstration by means of a well-found steamer, which should be chartered to proceed to Hulutao, say, four times in the winter, the middle of the months of December, January, February, and March. A competent person should be stationed there, also throughout the coming winter, to keep a record of the winds and temperatures and of the tides, and the state of the ice in the bay. By this means, most valuable information will be obtained as to the conditions of the place in view of its suitability for a winter port.\n\nI think, from a long experience gained at Chinwangtao, that we should be quite safe in considering the advantages of Hulutao, on the assumption of its being closed to navigation for about a month.\n\nAs a port for Manchuria in the open season, the advantages of its site are incontestable.\n\nComparing it with other trade routes, it is 60 miles nearer to Mukden than Dalny, and it would have also this advantage - being the gateway port of Manchuria, it would be purely under Chinese control instead of under the Japanese, as is the case of Dalny.\n\nIt is 100 miles nearer Mukden than Chinwangtao.\n\nIts distance from Hsinmintun is 50 miles.\n\nIt is in a district within reach of some of the best coal mines in North China, which are worked at present at Pei-piao and Yichow, but only need to be developed by modern methods and joined by railway in order to secure the coal market of Shanghae, the quality being far superior to anything offered there at present. This alone would make a very important trade for the port.\n\nThese advantages in themselves would secure the success of the port and bring traffic to the Imperial railways and Hulutao, which now goes to Dalny and the South Manchurian Railway.\n\nPage 675",

Cadmus\n### Hongkong, 29th October, 1909\n\nSir,\n\nIn accordance with your orders of 26th instant, I proceeded at 7.45 a.m. on the 27th, with the \"Janus\" and \"Handy\" to search for junks supposed to be in distress to the South-Westward of Hongkong. They were reported to have been seen dismasted and anchored on the 22nd instant in a position 50 miles S 200 W of Gap Rock.\n\nI considered that any drift in the interval must have been in a Westerly to Nor'Westerly direction and searched accordingly. The attached chart shows the tracks of the three vessels. It had been my intention to spread on the line A B at daylight on 28th and then steer for Gap Rock, but owing to the breakdown of \"Janus\" from loss of water, I had to return to her and send the \"Handy\" on by herself as shown on the track chart.\n\nNothing has been seen of any of the junks searched for. It is presumed that all had managed to make the land or been lost in the gale of the 25th. If there had been any number of them, they must have been scattered before we reached the scene, and therefore some...\n\nCommodore H. Lyon, R.N.\nHONGKONG.",

        "content_text": "## Chinese Government's Authority over Pratas Islands\n\nThe Chinese Government had never exercised any act of authority over the islets which form the atoll; however, occasions have occurred, as in 1882, when the Board of Trade asked the Foreign Office to request the Chinese Government to erect a lighthouse on the reef, on which Chinese sovereignty has been taken for granted.\n\nIn 1902, some correspondence took place between the Government of Hong Kong and the Home authorities arising out of an inquiry addressed by the Japanese Consul at Hong Kong as to whether Pratas was claimed by any Power. The Lords of the Admiralty pointed out that the atoll had from time immemorial been frequented by Chinese fishing junks during certain seasons of the year, and was, therefore, probably considered by the Viceroy of Kuangtung to be part of his province, and the officer administering the Hong Kong Government was accordingly instructed to inform the Japanese Consul that, so far as His Majesty's Government were aware, the island had never been occupied by any Power, but that, before any action (tending to annexation) was taken by the Japanese Government, it would be desirable to ascertain whether it was claimed by China.\n\nSir Edward Grey now desires, before taking any steps to protect Messrs. Newman and Wilkinson in their operations to exploit the natural resources of the reef, to be informed whether any measures have been taken since 1902 by the Chinese or Japanese authorities to occupy Pratas, and I shall feel grateful if you will be so good as to afford me such information on the subject as you may be able to obtain and will favour me with such general observations as you may think proper to make.\n\nA similar despatch has been addressed to the Governor [Commander-in-chief] of Hong Kong and His Majesty's Consul-General at Canton and His Majesty's Consul at Swatow.\n\nI have, &c.\n(Signed) J. N. JORDAN\n\n## Inclosure 2 in No. 1\n\n### Acting Consul-General Fox to Sir J. Jordan\n\n**(No. 47. Confidential.)**\nSir,\n\nSeptember 17, 1908.\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch, Confidential, dated the 16th ultimo, on the subject of the ownership of the Pratas Islands in the China Sea.\n\nIn reply to a private letter addressed to Taotai Wen Tsung Yao, Secretary to the Canton Viceroy, on the 17th ultimo, I have to-day received a semi-official communication, copy and translation of which I have the honour to inclose, in which it is clearly stated that these islands belong to China.\n\nThe Captain of one of the Hong Kong-Canton River steamers who formerly sailed between Hong Kong and Manila, informs me that he knows the Pratas group well. They lie a little to the north-west of the direct course to Manila, but in bad weather ships often pass quite close to them, and he believes small steamers have more than once anchored there during the north-east monsoon. On the main island, there is a Chinese joss-house probably erected by the fishermen who frequent the islands, and on one occasion my informant noticed a number of huts, doubtless used by the fishermen for drying their fish. He had always understood the islands were _terra nullius_ (\"man's land\").\n\nI have, &c.\n(Signed) H. H. FOX\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1\n\n### Taotai Wen Tsung Yao to Acting Consul-General Fox\n\nCanton, September 16, 1908.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter in which you ask me to have a search made in the archives of the Viceroy's Yamen, and let you know whether or not the Island of Pratas, situated some 170 miles due south-east of Hong Kong, belongs to China.\n\nI have found that the Island of Pratas is situated to the south-west of Formosa and to the south-east of Hong Kong, and is a barren sand-bank in the shape of a horseshoe. On the western side, there is an inlet which for many years has been used by Chinese fishing craft as a storm anchorage. There is no doubt as to its status as a Chinese island. Some years ago, the Viceroy of the Two Kwang sent a Commission to make a survey and chart of the island.\n\nI am informed that recently a certain Japanese visited the locality, and that telegraphic instructions were in consequence received from the Wai-wu Pu to inquire into the case and take such action as might be necessary.\n\nWhile writing this for your information as to the undoubted Chinese status of the island, I avail, &c.\n\n(Card of Wen Tsung Yao.)\n\n## Inclosure 4 in No. 1\n\n### Mr. Mayers to Sir R. Alcock\n\nCanton, June 14, 1869.\nI HAVE the honour to report to your Excellency that, with the approval of Mr. Consul Robertson at the time of his departure from this port, I requested the Viceroy Jui-lin, about a month ago, to dispatch one of his steam gun-boats, the \"Chen-to,\" to the Prata Shoal, where more than one foreign vessel has lately been wrecked and immediately pillaged by the junk people, who make this their place of resort.\n\nFrom a report made by the Commander of the \"Chên-to\" on his return, I came to the conclusion that to station one or two Chinese junks at the island and lagoon enclosed by the Prata Shoals, for the purpose of preventing the lawless pillage of vessels in distress, is not only highly desirable, but also perfectly feasible; and I therefore addressed the Viceroy on the subject, suggesting that measures of this kind be taken, and referring to the 20th Article of the Treaty of Tien-tsin in support of my recommendation. The reply I received from the Viceroy fully admits the responsibility of the Chinese Government in this matter; but I regret to add that his Excellency proposes merely the usual Chinese method of evading the consequences of this responsibility, viz., the issue of orders to subordinate functionaries, which it must be perfectly well known will not, and cannot, be obeyed. In my reply to the Viceroy's despatch closing the correspondence, I have reminded his Excellency of the necessity for special measures of a very different description from mere formal orders addressed to authorities residing at a distance of from 100 to 200 miles from the spot in question, if any actual steps are to be taken for affording security to life and property at the Pratas, and have hinted to his Excellency that the failure to discharge a duty which he has now plainly recognized, exposes his Government to claims for indemnity for losses that may occur hereafter.\n\nA claim of this kind has indeed given the Viceroy much trouble, special orders having been received last year by the French Consul here from the Imperial Government to exact compensation for a French vessel which was pillaged after being stranded on a shoal to the westward of Macao, and the sum of, I believe, $5,000 was eventually paid in satisfaction of this claim. Under pressure, the Viceroy would doubtless take any measures that might be deemed necessary for stationing some authority at the Pratas, and without pressure, he will, it is equally certain, prefer to let matters take their course. I have not, however, thought it advisable, without special instructions, to do more than I have already done toward reminding the Viceroy of his duty in this matter, and of the responsibility that rests upon the Chinese Government in respect to shipwrecked vessels.\n\nI inclose herewith, for your Excellency's information, copies of all the despatches forming the correspondence on this subject.\n\nYour, &c.\n(Signed) WM. FREDK. MAYERS\n\n`[2229 g-2]`\nPage 484",

I refer to these differences later on.\n\n5. As regards the Northern Boundary, Sir F. Lugard points out that the frontier has been demarcated by stones accurately following the line agreed upon by Lockhart and Wong. All that would be necessary in this respect is to invite the Chinese Government to verify the demarcation and express their concurrence.\n\n6. The same course is all that is required for the Eastern Boundary.\n\n7. As regards the Western Boundary, the Governor does not appear to have been well served by his Secretary/Interpreter. In a despatch No.75 of the 16th of March 1900, Mr Chamberlain sent out a copy of map `I.D.1393` and drew attention to the fact that the meridian of 113° 52' E.Long. instead of making the promontory on the West of Deep Bay passed at some distance to the West of the promontory. (It would in fact meet the mainland about the town of Shai Heung). Sir H. Blake was accordingly asked to supply a corrected copy of the sketch map of the land (N) Boundary showing the exact point where the meridian cuts the land.\n\n8. The Officer Administering the Government (General Gascoigne) replying to that despatch said \"the meridian of 113° 52' E.Long. does in fact pass clear of the peninsula which forms the western shore of Deep Bay .... the Longitude at the western extreme of the S.W. Point of the Peninsula is 113° 3' 29\".7 E.Long\" In a subsequent despatch he sent an Admiralty Chart, which was slightly inaccurate, but shows the position fairly well.",

The meridian shown on the map as striking the land on the north has been found not to do so but to strike open sea.... The intention is to have the waters of Deep Bay and we do not want more.\"\n\n...\n\nWe propose therefore if F.O. consent to carry the meridian on our map up as far as the latitude of the peninsula and then to draw a straight line at right angles to its southern-most point\". The F.O. were accordingly consulted.\n\nIn paragraph 9 et seqq. we pointed out that some modification of the part of the boundary line from Lantao Island to the mainland was necessary; that it would not be satisfactory to alter the line to 113° 53' 29\".7 because it would exclude from British territory an island half way between Lantao and the point where the meridian cut the mainland; we proposed \"to make the Western Boundary northward from Lantao follow the meridian originally selected (113° 52') to a point immediately to the west of the Southwesternmost point of the peninsula and thence to turn it directly East till it meets that peninsula...\n\nMr Chamberlain assumes that it will not be necessary to refer to the Chinese Government as to the substance of this letter.\n\nThe Foreign Office in reply observed that 113° 52' E. Long. was accepted by the Taungli Yamen as the Western Boundary without reference to the question.\n\n10.",

        "content_text": "303\n\n2\n\nAccording, therefore, to Mr. Hughes's calculations the cost of the entire conservancy scheme will be as follows:---\n\nDeepening the bar and otherwise improving the approaches to the port\n\nProtecting Duck Island Bend\n\nDredgers for the upper river\n\nTotal\n\nDollars.\n\n482,974\n\n44,000\n\n150,000\n\n676,974\n\nTo which sum must be added the annual working expenses of the dredgers on the upper river, estimated at about 28,000 dollars.\n\nIn his despatch, a copy of which I also enclose, covering Mr. Hughes's report, the taotai points out that, by extending the period of collection of the proposed taxes from ten to twenty years, a loan could be raised which would amply cover the whole of this expenditure. It would in that case be unnecessary, he says, to ask for further financial assistance from the provincial Government, which, in its present impoverished condition, it was quite unable to afford. The improvement of the upper river, the cost of which it was proposed should be met by his Government, was, as we all knew, quite as essential to the prosperity of Newchwang as the deepening of the bar, a work which would be of little use if the river above the port was unnavigable. He therefore proposed that the period during which the taxes were to be collected should be extended to twenty years, and the entire cost of the conservancy scheme met out of the revenue they would produce.\n\nBoth Mr. Hughes's report and the taotai's despatch have been carefully considered at two meetings of the consular body which have been held for the purpose. The report is regarded as a satisfactory one in every respect by all my colleagues, but the taotai's proposals have been the cause of much fruitless discussion. The difficulty is that Mr. Ohta, the Japanese consul, claims to have explicit instructions from his Government to withhold his consent to any scheme by which Japanese trade pays any portion whatsoever of the cost of the upper river improvements, which will be detrimental, it is held, to the interests of the South Manchurian Railway. Nor is the Japanese Government even willing, he tells us, that the trade of the port should bear the entire cost of the bar and Duck Island works, of which, in its opinion, the Chinese Government should also pay a share. In fact he moved a resolution, which, however, was not pressed, that, to prevent the possibility of a surplus, the proposed taxes be reduced by one-half. We all, I need scarcely say, agree with the view that it would be unfair to burden the trade of the port with the entire cost of the conservancy works, by which the rest of the province, and particularly the Chinese Government, have even more to gain than the port itself, yet it appears to me and my other colleagues that, unless some compromise can be arranged between the views of the taotai, who represents the provincial Government in the matter, and those of the Japanese Government, there is every danger that the whole scheme will be shelved.\n\nAt our first meeting no solution of the problem presented itself to us, but at the second, which was held on the 16th instant, I was able to suggest a compromise, which meets to a great extent the views of both parties.\n\nThe gist of this compromise is that, while the taxes collected by the Imperial Maritime Customs are to be devoted entirely to the bar and Duck Island works, those collected by the Native Customs may be expended on the upper river improvements. As the Native Customs deals only with the junk trade, which is a purely Chinese trade, this arrangement does not conflict with the Japanese view that their trade is to contribute nothing towards the cost of the upper river works. I also propose that the tax of 1 per mille on the imports and exports of the port be levied, not on the actual value of the goods passing through the customs, but by adding an equivalent percentage to the duties. By adopting this system of collection, which is by far the more convenient and inexpensive of the two, the amount raised from the tax by the Imperial Maritime Customs—I have taken the figures of 1908, a normal year, as the basis for my calculations—will average about 25,000 taels per annum, whereas, if collected on the actual value of the trade, the gross revenue from it would be nearer 45,000 taels. In this way, without actually agreeing to the Japanese consul's proposal that the taxes be reduced, I met his views on the point as far as it is practicable to do so. In explanation of my figures I should mention that the value of the trade in 1908 was 41,336,000 taels, and the duties collected, including those on goods brought up from Shanghae under exemption certificate, 1,097,600 taels. Imports,\n\n3\n\nit would appear, pay little more than 3 per cent. ad valorem and exports than 2 per cent. I have estimated the annual amount that will be raised from the tax at 25,000 taels instead of 22,000 taels, which is what 1 per cent. on the duty actually represents, because the levy on the coast trade portion of it will be considered, and the tax will also be collected on duty-free goods, of which no small quantity enter and leave the port.\n\nIf we add to this 25,000 taels the dues on shipping, which should produce another 15,000 taels, we have an annual income from an Imperial Maritime Customs of 40,000 taels, on which, if we agree, as I suggest we should, to an extension of the period of collection to twenty years, there should be no difficulty in raising a loan which will amply cover the cost of the bar and Duck Island works. At the same time if, after the satisfactory completion of the two works, the revenue produced by the taxes permits the repayment of the loan before the expiry of the twenty-year period, the loan is to be paid off and the collection of the taxes to cease. The contribution of the provincial Government to the work, another sine qua non of the Japanese Government, is to be the services free of charge of the Government engineer, Mr. Hughes.\n\nFor the upper river improvements there will then be available the entire revenue from the native customs, which should amount to anything between 10,000 taels and 15,000 taels a-year, a sum which, under economical management, will be almost sufficient to pay the working expenses of the dredgers. The value of the junk trade in 1908 was 11,000,000 taels and the number of junks engaged in it nearly 5,000.\n\nIf my proposals, therefore, are agreed to all the additional assistance needed to enable the entire scheme to be carried out will be a contribution from the provincial—or, if its resources do not permit, from the central—Government of 200,000 dollars for the purchase of the dredgers required for the upper river and for preliminary expenses—a sum the provision of which should not present any insuperable difficulties.\n\nThe compromise I have suggested appears to me to be an equitable one, and one against which the Japanese should find it difficult to raise any objection. The Japanese consul himself is not unfavourable to it, but in view of his instructions he informed us that he could not accede to it without reference to Tokyo. It would be about a fortnight, he thought, before he could receive a reply. My other colleagues will all support it.\n\nI have also discussed the matter privately with the taotai, who, though naturally not entirely satisfied with my proposals, tells me that as long as the central Government can be persuaded to make the contribution of 200,000 dollars required there will be no opposition from his side. If the Viceroy, however, is called upon to find the money the scheme will make no progress, as his Excellency will most certainly insist on his inability to do so. The taotai also reminded me that the deepening of the bar would be of no benefit to the junk trade, but rather detrimental to it, since Mr. Hughes's scheme involved the closing of the west channel, which was the one ordinarily used by native shipping. Therefore, unless the improvement of the upper river, the necessity of which was fully realised by everyone, was put in hand at the same time as the other two works, a very strong protest against the proposed taxes would be made by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, whose views nowadays could not be ignored.\n\nI am also enclosing with this despatch two copies of the chart referred to by Mr. Hughes in his report. The Admiralty were good enough last year to express an opinion as to the merits of Mr. de Rijke's scheme for the conservancy of the Whangpoo, and it is possible that they may again be so kind as to furnish you with their views on Mr. Hughes's proposals for the deepening of the bar at this port.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nF.

        "content_text": "According, therefore, to Mr. Hughes's calculations the cost of the entire conservancy scheme will be as follows:--\n\nDeepening the bar and otherwise improving the approaches to the port\n\nProtecting Duck Island Bend\n\nDredgers for the upper river\n\nTotal\n\nDollars.\n\n482,974\n\n44,000\n\n150,000\n\n676,974\n\nTo which sum must be added the annual working expenses of the dredgers on the upper river, estimated at about 28,000 dollars.\n\nIn his despatch, a copy of which I also enclose, covering Mr. Hughes's report, the taotai points out that, by extending the period of collection of the proposed taxes from ten to twenty years, a loan could be raised which would amply cover the whole of this expenditure. It would in that case be unnecessary, he says, to ask for further financial assistance from the provincial Government, which, in its present impoverished condition, it was quite unable to afford. The improvement of the upper river, the cost of which it was proposed should be met by his Government, was, as we all knew, quite as essential to the prosperity of Newchwang as the deepening of the bar, a work which would be of little use if the river above the port was unnavigable. He therefore proposed that the period during which the taxes were to be collected should be extended to twenty years, and the entire cost of the conservancy scheme met out of the revenue they would produce.\n\nBoth Mr. Hughes's report and the taotai's despatch have been carefully considered at two meetings of the consular body which have been held for the purpose. The report is regarded as a satisfactory one in every respect by all my colleagues, but the taotai's proposals have been the cause of much fruitless discussion. The difficulty is that Mr. Ohta, the Japanese consul, claims to have explicit instructions from his Government to withhold his consent to any scheme by which Japanese trade pays any portion whatsoever of the cost of the upper river improvements, which will be detrimental, it is held, to the interests of the South Manchurian Railway. Nor is the Japanese Government even willing, he tells us, that the trade of the port should bear the entire cost of the bar and Duck Island works, of which, in its opinion, the Chinese Government should also pay a share. In fact, he moved a resolution, which, however, was not pressed, that, to prevent the possibility of a surplus, the proposed taxes be reduced by one-half.\n\nWe all, I need scarcely say, agree with the view that it would be unfair to burden the trade of the port with the entire cost of the conservancy works, by which the rest of the province, and particularly the Chinese Government, have even more to gain than the port itself, yet it appears to me and my other colleagues that, unless some compromise can be arranged between the views of the taotai, who represents the provincial Government in the matter, and those of the Japanese Government, there is every danger that the whole scheme will be shelved.\n\nAt our first meeting, no solution of the problem presented itself to us, but at the second, which was held on the 16th instant, I was able to suggest a compromise, which meets to a great extent the views of both parties.\n\nThe gist of this compromise is that, while the taxes collected by the Imperial Maritime Customs are to be devoted entirely to the bar and Duck Island works, those collected by the Native Customs may be expended on the upper river improvements. As the Native Customs deals only with the junk trade, which is a purely Chinese trade, this arrangement does not conflict with the Japanese view that their trade is to contribute nothing towards the cost of the upper river works. I also propose that the tax of 1 per mille on the imports and exports of the port be levied, not on the actual value of the goods passing through the customs, but by adding an equivalent percentage to the duties. By adopting this system of collection, which is by far the more convenient and inexpensive of the two, the amount raised from the tax by the Imperial Maritime Customs—I have taken the figures of 1908, a normal year, as the basis for my calculations—will average about 25,000 taels per annum, whereas, if collected on the actual value of the trade, the gross revenue from it would be nearer 45,000 taels.\n\nIn this way, without actually agreeing to the Japanese consul's proposal that the taxes be reduced, I met his views on the point as far as it is practicable to do so. In explanation of my figures, I should mention that the value of the trade in 1908 was 47,336,000 taels, and the duties collected, including those on goods brought up from Shanghai under exemption certificate, 1,097,600 taels. Imports, it would appear, pay little more than 31/3 per cent. ad valorem and exports than 2 per cent. I have estimated the annual amount that will be raised from the tax at 25,000 taels instead of 22,000 taels, which is what 2 per cent. on the duty actually represents, because the levy on the coast trade portion of it will be 4 per cent., and the tax will also be collected on duty-free goods, of which no small quantity enter and leave the port.\n\nIf we add to this 25,000 taels the dues on shipping, which should produce another 15,000 taels, we have an annual income from an Imperial Maritime Customs of 40,000 taels, on which, if we agree, as I suggest we should, to an extension of the period of collection to twenty years, there should be no difficulty in raising a loan which will amply cover the cost of the bar and Duck Island works. At the same time, if, after the satisfactory completion of the two works, the revenue produced by the taxes permits the repayment of the loan before the expiry of the twenty-year period, the loan is to be paid off and the collection of the taxes to cease. The contribution of the provincial Government to the work, another sine quâ non of the Japanese Government, is to be the services free of charge of the Government engineer, Mr. Hughes.\n\nFor the upper river improvements, there will then be available the entire revenue from the native customs, which should amount to anything between 10,000 taels and 15,000 taels a-year, a sum which, under economical management, will be almost sufficient to pay the working expenses of the dredgers. The value of the junk trade in 1908 was 11,000,000 taels and the number of junks engaged in it nearly 5,000.\n\nIf my proposals, therefore, are agreed to, all the additional assistance needed to enable the entire scheme to be carried out will be a contribution from the provincial—if its resources do not permit, from the central—Government of 200,000 dollars for the purchase of the dredgers required for the upper river and for preliminary expenses—a sum the provision of which should not present any insuperable difficulties.\n\nThe compromise I have suggested appears to me to be an equitable one, and one against which the Japanese should find it difficult to raise any objection. The Japanese consul himself is not unfavourable to it, but, in view of his instructions, he informed us that he could not accede to it without reference to Tokyo. It would be about a fortnight, he thought, before he could receive a reply. My other colleagues will all support it.\n\nI have also discussed the matter privately with the taotai, who, though naturally not entirely satisfied with my proposals, tells me that, as long as the central Government can be persuaded to make the contribution of 200,000 dollars required, there will be no opposition from his side. If the Viceroy, however, is called upon to find the money, the scheme will make no progress, as his Excellency will most certainly insist on his inability to do so. The taotai also reminded me that the deepening of the bar would be of no benefit to the junk trade, but rather detrimental to it, since Mr. Hughes's scheme involved the closing of the west channel, which was the one ordinarily used by native shipping. Therefore, unless the improvement of the upper river, the necessity of which was fully realised by everyone, was put in hand at the same time as the other two works, a very strong protest against the proposed taxes would be made by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, whose views nowadays could not be ignored.\n\nI am also enclosing with this despatch two copies of the chart referred to by Mr. Hughes in his report. The Admiralty were good enough last year to express an opinion as to the merits of Mr. de Rijke's scheme for the conservancy of the Whangpoo, and it is possible that they may again be so kind as to furnish you with their views on Mr. Hughes's proposals for the deepening of the bar at this port.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nF.

I attach a list which he has prepared of vessels lost on these reefs. It is probably not complete, as wrecks on these reefs have not been specially recorded in the Harbour Department, but it shows that there have been at least 12 wrecks on each reef. The Admiralty charts show one wreck, that of H.M.S. \"Reynard\", as being still visible in 1865 on the Pratas Shoal, and 5 wrecks remaining on the Paracels in 1885.\n\n2. In the case of the \"Bolton Abbey\" heard on the 17th October, 1881, the Marine Court expressed the following view:- \"The Court cannot too strongly express their opinion that the Pratas Shoal should be provided with lights. The shoal was surveyed in 1858, and, being in the track of numerous ships navigating the China Sea, has been a fruitful source of disaster, as is evidenced by the many vessels wrecked on this highly dangerous and as yet unmarked shoal\". Similarly on the 24th October, 1881, another Marine Court, which investigated the stranding of the \"Geraldine Paget\" on the same shoal, added the following rider to its finding:- \"We repeat the opinion given at the recent Marine Court of inquiry that the Pratas Shoal should be efficiently lit up\".

I desire, however, to take the opportunity of making a few remarks on the points raised in the letter, and to submit for your consideration my own views on this very important subject.\n\nSir Paul Chater mentions the names of several vessels of deep draught which visit this port at present, and he draws particular attention to the case of the \"Minnesota\" having on one occasion to discharge a large portion of her cargo into lighters outside the harbour limits before being able to proceed to her usual anchorage. What happened was this. In January, 1912, the \"Minnesota\" anchored for the night in Junk Bay about eight miles to the East of the harbour. On the following morning, as she was drawing 36 feet of water, she was accommodated at No. 1 Naval Buoy, and after a portion of her cargo had been unloaded, she moved to her own buoy. This was a very exceptional case as the vessel was carrying a much larger cargo than on any previous voyage. The depth of water at her buoy is 30 feet at low water ordinary spring tides.\n\nI am rearranging the moorings which, so far as mooring buoys are concerned, are arranged on a scientific principle at some expense (presumably for compensating vested interests) to be incurred but firstly it is to be cheaper by judging the mole harbour.\n\nIt looks to me very much as if Mr. Chater is anxious to get the thing, regardless of putting his hand deeply in his pocket for the benefit of a private company.\n\nWe might in the first instance send a reply and invite his observations.\n\n`R27/20/13`\n\nA ridiculous suggestion.\n\n27/10/13\n\n`CO 36245`\n`300`\n`No 343`\n`13`\n`380`\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE \nLEWIS HARCOURT, M.P., \n&c., \n&c., \n&c.",

There is a minimum depth of water of 21 or 22 feet and the \"Kansas\" deeply laden, instead of approaching the wharves in the ordinary way, attempted to cross the end of the spit at low water and remained fast until the tide rose some hours later.\n\n5.\n\nIt is true that vessels drawing more than 27 feet can hardly leave by the Western entrance, either by Sulphur Channel or to the North of Kellett's Bank except at or near high water, but there is little or no hardship involved in requiring ships of deeper draught to leave by the Eastern entrance where there is ample depth of water for any ship which is ever likely to be constructed.\n\n6.\n\nIt has been suggested from time to time that the harbour is silting up, but the investigations which have been made during the past ten years, and I would refer especially to the enclosures in Sir Matthew Nathan's Despatches No. 255 of the 16th October, 1905, and No. 173 of the 26th June, 1906, go to show that there has been no silting, but that on the contrary the tendency has been in the direction of deepening of certain portions of the harbour. From an investigation made in August last year of the waterway leading to the Kowloon Wharves, the Harbour Master was satisfied that there was actually more water than was shown on the chart. The central fairway is being constantly sounded by the Harbour Department and agrees with the chart. The Officers of H.M.S. \"Merlin\" recently re-surveyed the whole harbour and I understand that no substantial difference was found between the existing depth of water and that found during the survey made seventy years ago. It may be accepted, therefore, as a definite fact that the strong ebb and flow of the tide through the harbour...",

A certain amount of dredging would be required in the area marked by a dotted line. I cannot, therefore, see that the Government is in any way called upon to embark on expensive dredging operations for the benefit of a private Company when natural facilities for suitable wharfage accommodation exist in a more favourable situation having regard to the future terminal arrangements of the Railway.\n\n10.\n\nWhile writing this Despatch I have referred to recent minutes by Sir Henry May from which I gather that his views as regards the necessity of dredging the harbour of Hongkong are similar to those which I have put forward.\n\nI have the honour to be,\nSir,\nYour most obedient,\nhumble servant,\nClaud Severn\nOfficer Administering the Government.",

I forward chart which shows depth of water in the neighbourhood. That our Harbour is in many parts gradually silting up is evidenced by the amount of silt churned up from the bottom whenever a steamer of deep draught gets under way, and that a large amount of soil is constantly deposited there-in after every heavy shower is clearly shown by the discolour-ation to be seen spreading over the Harbour whenever such occurs.\n\nShortly before his departure, I had a conversation with Sir Henry May on this subject, and he undoubtedly was in agreement with me, and requested me to write to him on the matter.

The lights all went out, and after about half an hour of silence we were released by some of our own men. These men informed us that they had been told, under dire threats, not to release us sooner. I may say at once that beyond remaining passive, I can't think our own men had anything to do with the piracy.\n\nWe found, on coming on deck, that the pirates had run the vessel ashore on what is shown on the chart as Kongau Bank, having crossed the Canton Bank to get there. Boats had come off, evidently by previous arrangement, to take the pirates ashore, and they had also taken one of our lifeboats. The pirates had torn down the electric light switchboard, putting everything in darkness. They had taken off the two high-pressure cylinder tops and thrown them into the bilges, and had either taken away or thrown overboard all the rockets, blue lights, and other signals. A Chinese sailor who had been at the wheel assisting the quartermaster (hand gear) was shot dead. One Chinese passenger was killed, and four others more or less seriously wounded.\n\nAt the time we found and put on one cylinder top, and at about 3 p.m. of the same day, the 3rd, with the assistance of a salvage tug got back to Hongkong.\n\nThe affair created a bit of a sensation at the time, but that had died down and things are going on as ever, nothing being done to prevent such occurrences in the future.\n\nWe hear that the Chinese Authorities have caught and shot some half dozen of the pirates.\n\nThe opinion is that they (the pirates) mostly made back into British territory, being, as they well know, more likely to escape punishment under the British flag than they would be if caught by the Chinese Authorities in Chinese territory.",

Wilkinson and Grist in the matter.\n\nMr. Reader Harris, of that firm, was of opinion that the case was worth further correspondence through them with the Hongkong Government. This has followed, with but little satisfactory result. The whole correspondence over the matter will, I believe, be forwarded to you by Messrs. Wilkinson and Grist.\n\nIt is somewhat difficult to say what steps might be taken to prevent these occasional piratical outbreaks. We had arms and ammunition on board the \"Tai On\", but of what use was it in the hands of three men? I had a loaded revolver over the head of my bunk, and had I thought of it I should have taken it on deck with me. What would have been the result? I might have spotted one or two of the pirates, but with their numbers they would certainly have got me, and probably have made a finish of all the Europeans.\n\nI will forward with this report a chart of the mouths of the Canton River. The piracy occurred somewhere about south of Lintin Island, two or three miles only from the line dividing British from Chinese waters. I don't credit the pirates with having the knowledge as to whether they were in British or Chinese waters at the time of their breaking out, and I maintain that it could have been carried out with equal ease and safety ten miles further east, well into British territorial waters.\n\nYou will notice from the chart that the first half of the journey, viz. from Hongkong to Wong Mun (a Chinese Customs Station) is in comparatively open water, and during that part of the voyage we had always felt every security. Needless to say, that confidence is gone now. I would remark that it is a very rare thing to see a war vessel of any nationality during the first half of the voyage.\n\nOn the second half of the trip, from Wong Mun to Kong Mun, through narrow waters, we have for some months",

Certain conservancy contractors are employed by the Sanitary Department to remove the refuse of the City, these contractors convey the material in junks to depots in Wang Lin (probably Tang Li in the Admiralty chart) in Shun Tak. The contractors have apparently been in the habit of paying tolls to a local pirate gang for permission for their junks to voyage unmolested. The tolls hitherto amounted to $3,000 annually. Recently, however, numerous other pirate gangs have sprung up en route and their demands became so exorbitant that the contractors could not comply with them. The junks were in consequence seized and held to ransom.\n\n3. Vigorous protests were made by this Government to the Chinese Authorities, and after some delay a Chinese Gunboat was on two occasions despatched to the scene, and some of the captured junks were at length released. No attempt was made to clear out the pirate strongholds along the route and the released junks were unable to proceed back to Hongkong for fear of the pirates who were so incensed by the action of the contractors that they now threaten to destroy the junks on the next occasion and kill the crew.

Mr. Tratman, the Head of the Sanitary Department, attempted to identify the position of Wang Lin on the chart. He conferred with one of the junk-masters, who is, of course, ignorant of English and unable to read a chart, and came to the conclusion that Wang Lin is entered on the chart in error as Wang Li, and that the route taken by the junks is via \"Tai Chan, Tiger Island, Sai Wan Channel, Ho Kau, and Brick-kiln Creek\".

        "content_text": "THREE\n\nbeen in China for 35 years, and in Hong Kong for about twenty years, and I know perfectly well that if any ship came wandering into the harbour trusting to a signal from the Harbour Master or to a pilot as to which buoy she should go to, a great deal of confusion, and possibly collisions and danger to life and property will arise. How could a captain possibly, on five minutes' notice, even supposing the weather was clear enough for the Harbour Master to signal him, go to No. 1, 2, 3 or 4 buoy, or whatever the number might be, when he is working his way through Lyemun Pass into a crowded harbour full of native craft and shipping, look up the chart and try to find out the buoy to which he is supposed to make fast? The alternative made by you is to employ pilots, but shipping companies for years have always stood out against that. We will not have compulsory pilots here: we don't want them. An effort was made some time ago for an association to start here, but it died a natural death. As far as I can make out, although we have had no particulars of the moorings, the revenue is estimated at $30,000 a year. Basing my calculation on the fact that I have so many moorings in this harbour, I say that the Government charge is an extreme advance on the prices we are now paying for our moorings.\n\nIf you can satisfy the shipping community, the Chamber of Commerce and the unofficial members that this change is really necessary, I would then beg to suggest that we might make a counter offer. The moorings have been two or three times relaid to my knowledge to meet the increased length and size of modern ships, and if a scheme could be carried out by an amicable arrangement between the Government and the shipping companies, no doubt those companies which are going to be affected by the change will be prepared to bear part of the cost, but I would ask your Excellency to consider my counter proposal, that we be allowed to rent our own moorings. That is, from my own experience in Hong Kong, a very great advantage to shipping. I tell my own captains on their outward voyage that when they return six months hence they will have to go to a certain buoy, and when they come in it is not necessary for them to employ a pilot. I have never employed a pilot, and will not unless my ships go to the wharf, because there are very strong currents running.\n\nIf you insist on this scheme, it seems to me that with the change of moorings and compulsory pilotage you are imposing a great tax on shipping which can be ill borne under existing conditions, and we strongly oppose the scheme your Excellency put before us in your letter to the Secretary of State on the subject. I speak with the full concurrence of the members of the Chamber of Commerce, and trust you will make the Secretary of State equally aware of our opposition to your scheme, and I merely now give notice that when the time comes I shall move the rejection of that particular section of the vote.\n\nUnder the head Imports and Exports Department, your Excellency mentioned (page 3) an increase of about $35,000, but you only refer to an increase of $14,000. As a matter of fact, the increase this year, as opposed to last year, is really $85,000, because there is $50,000, or, to be more correct, $49,800, less asked for the purchase of opium. I have gone through the papers, but they are not very clear, therefore I won't labour this question for the moment, but I will refer to it later on.\n\nIn Miscellaneous Services there is an entry of $1,575. That, of course, although a small thing, the unofficial members welcome, because we think too much cannot be done to encourage interpreters and translators in the Government Service, and any reasonable sum asked for will be gladly voted.\n\nWe cannot but regret the very great charge for loss on subsidiary coin, and this, your Excellency, without wishing to cast aspersions on the memory of Governors who have gone before you, is entirely due to want of foresight on the part of some of your Excellency's predecessors and their advisers. The total amount of subsidiary coin imported into Hong Kong to meet the demand in China amounted to something like $40,000,000. Careful estimates made of the subsidiary coin we require show that we require about two to two and a half million dollars' worth. The whole of the rest of the money has been sold and the Government, I am very sorry to say, did not realise that the chickens would come home to roost, but they have come home to roost with a vengeance. Of that $40,000,000 possibly about one-third has been absorbed in making jewellery, bullion and so on, or otherwise disposed of. Two-thirds of that amount is likely to come back on us, and I have given the Colonial Secretary notice of a question to which I will ask him to reply, which is, \"What amount of coin has already been withdrawn by the Government from circulation, at what we know to be a very heavy loss, and what, roughly speaking, is estimated to be the further loss likely to be entailed on this Colony on this account?\"\n\nWe realise we have to face this loss, and do not quarrel with the present policy of the Government, but entirely endorse it. We realise very much the sacrifice that is now being made by the Colony, and we can only express the hope that the sacrifice will be substantially utilised in rehabilitating the coin we must keep for our daily use.\n\nReverting to what I said just now about the Import and Export Department, I now come to the question of accounts. It is not the first time I have had to refer to the way in which the accounts were rendered. On page 19 we have the actual expenditure for 1913, the approved estimates for 1914, the revised estimates for 1914 and the estimates for 1915. Now, a casual glance down that table will show a very startling difference between the approved estimates and the revised estimates. That is only a summary, and we have to look to further pages for the detailed account, and that is where we are handicapped. You merely have two columns instead of three. You have the approved estimate for 1914, and the estimate for 1915, and when you get to compare those figures, all that you know from page 19 is that the difference is very startling.\n\nI will quote two cases. On page 19 Miscellaneous Services, approved for 1914, is placed at $257,128. The amended estimate for 1914 is $748,000, or nearly three times the amount. The estimate for 1915 is $612,262. Of course, I know the bulk of that amount is made up by the increased amount of subsidiary coin...\n\nPage 198",

Et maintenant, je crois que c'est le devoir du Comité de Rédaction de tâcher de trouver une formule qui pourrait peut-être rendre plus aisé à ces Délégations l'accès de ce but.\n\nJe demande si je comprends bien ainsi l'esprit qui anime la conférence et s'il y a vraiment une partie assez considérable de Délégués désireux de se diriger dans cette voie.\n\nPourriez-vous, Monsieur le Président, me renseigner sur ce point? Je crois qu'ainsi la conférence rendrait un grand service au Comité de Rédaction.\n\nJ'ajoute que notre formule impliquera naturellement la plus grande liberté des autres Puissances de se rallier ou non à l'arrangement qui peut-être sera conclu.\n\nLe Président : La réponse est très difficile pour le Président. Cela dépend, je pense, de la manière dont la question sera soumise à la conférence.\n\nSon Exc. M. Huneeus, Délégué du Chili : Mais d'après les votes déjà acquis, il semble que l'orientation de la majorité de la conférence est vers la mise en vigueur quand même.\n\nSon Exc. M. Swétchine, Délégué de Russie : Cependant la majorité des voix n'a pas été de ce côté, lors du vote de l'avis adopté par la conférence le 16 juin. Son Exc. M. Huneens, Délégué du Chili : Sur la seconde partie de l'avis, mais sur la première il y a eu 26 voix pour.\n\nM. van Deventer, Délégué des Pays-Bas : Je crois maintenant que le Comité de Rédaction ne fera pas un travail infructueux en tâchant de trouver une formule comme celle que j'annonçais tout à l'heure.\n\nLe Président : La conférence n'aurait pas remis ce travail entre vos mains si elle avait été d'opinion que vous n'aboutiriez pas.

M. Sanches de Miranda, Délégué de Portugal :\n\nMonsieur le Président,\n\nNous avons lu l'ensemble des propositions que le Comité de Rédaction a élaborées, dont les deux premières ont été votées dans notre avant-dernière séance.\n\nJ'ai été frappé, en lisant l'ensemble de ces propositions, de leur manque absolu de portée pratique.\n\nJe demande à Monsieur le Président de me permettre de revenir sur les deux premiers avis, bien qu'ils soient déjà votés, afin de faire quelques observations qui m'ont été suggérées par la lecture de l'ensemble.\n\nCes observations s'imposent parce qu'il faut que notre vote ne puisse pas être interprété d'une façon contraire à notre intention.\n\nNous avons voté contre le premier avis.\n\nNous avons dit, par ce vote négatif, que nous ne trouvions pas possible l'application pratique de la Convention, dans les circonstances actuelles.\n\nen vigueur de la Convention,\n\nEn votant comme nous l'avons fait, nous pensions, que dire : possibilité de mise en vigueur de la Convention était le même que dire : efficacité de mise ce qui était une espèce d'engagement pour la mise en vigueur. Mais maintenant, en face des propositions qui viennent de nous être présentées, je vois que nous pouvons tout voter, car il s'agit de propositions anodines sans la moindre portée.\n\nNous croyions que nous n'allions pas nous amuser à affirmer la possibilité de mise en pratique d'une Convention que nous savons qui n'est pas pratique, car elle n'est pas efficace.\n\nMais passons à la troisième proposition :\n\nLa conférence est d'avis :\n\nIII. Que si à une date à déterminer par la conférence, toutes les Puissances signataires n'ont pas encore déposé leurs ratifications, il sera loisible aux\n\n290",

This completes the Government Buoy Scheme which consists of  \n| Item | Cost |\n| --- | --- |\n| 14 A class Buoys | $97,519.58 |\n| 12 B class Buoys | $84,680.00 |\n| 20 C class Buoys | $57,828.00 |\n| Various spare Buoys, Chains etc. | $12,687.00 |\n| Total | $252,481.88 |\n\n2. The original classification by me on 21.7.14 provided for 8 A class Buoys, 12 B class Buoys and 20 C class Buoys, but it has been found necessary to cater for the requirements of the Rice and Coal Anchorages more extensively, hence the extra 8 Buoys shown. The redistribution of the Central Fairway Buoyage as per classification chart attached has been carried out and all Buoys have been painted and numbered. The two Buoys marking the Eastern Limit of the Central Fairway have been painted white, so as to show them up more clearly at night. This is for the benefit of Kowloon Ferries.\n\n3. Although there has been no case of arbitration and I think generally speaking the Buoy owners are satisfied with the prices paid, yet this scheme entailed a very considerable amount of labour for over a year, during which time I have had the most loyal co-operation from Mr. Davey, the Acting Assistant Harbour Master, who has been ready at all times Sundays and Holidays and whenever required, to see the Moorings surveyed, marked and laid as quickly as possible.\n\n4. I give a list of revenue derived from the Buoys during the first six months of this year against no expenditures for upkeep during that time.\n| Month | Revenue |\n| --- | --- |\n| January | $5,248.00 |\n| February | $8,444.00 |\n| March | $8,440.00 |\n| April | $8,448.00 |\n| May | $5,190.00 |\n| June | $6,288.00 |\n| Total | $23,026.00 |\n\n(Ed.)

Viz:- $2400 rising to $480 by annual increments of $20.\n\nWe find that under this scale, our salaries are less than what we are at present receiving and our maximum salary has been increased only $30 above pre-war rates.\n\nThe attached chart shows graphically in red the salary paid in June 1914, in blue December 1919 and in green the amount that we shall receive under the new scale, with the varying increments until the maximum in each case is reached.\n\nFor purposes of comparison, the salary has been taken of the office of Clerk of Works at these dates. As under the new scale we enjoy free quarters, an amount has been added, based on the Government's rental valuation of quarters viz:- 5% of salary.\n\nA reference to this chart proves that our maximum salary on the new scale is higher than the maximum salary enjoyed in 1914 by $3.42 and less than the maximum salary of 1919 by $21.45.\n\nWe also find that we have been granted an increase of only 6.6 per centum on the pre-war maximum salary as compared with the increases granted to the following officers of the Public Works Department.",

Further, it was reported in the press that the islands have no definite owner and would be annexed by Japan. Information to this effect was forwarded by the British Minister in Tokyo to the Commander-in-Chief, China Station via Hong Kong.\n\nThe following historical summary has been prepared by the Hydrographer, and is circulated for information:\n\nThe date of the first discovery of this group of islets and rocks by Europeans is uncertain, but from their situation it appears probable that they were fallen in with by the Portuguese voyagers who reached Canton in the early part of the 16th Century, and that they were already known to the Chinese at this date.\n\nThe name \"Paracel\" is probably a corruption of \"Parcel\", a Portuguese word meaning a hidden rock or shoal. The Chinese name for the group is the Ts'ihchow (Seven Islets) group.\n\nThe name is given as \"Farcels\" on Colom's chart of 1669 published at Amsterdam. The group has been repeatedly surveyed (merely as constituting a danger to navigation) by Captains Ross and Maughan, of the Indian Marine in 1808, by H.M.S. 'Rifleman' in 1865, and by the German men-of-war 'Freya' and 'Iltis' in 1881-83. So far as can be traced, however, none of these surveyors took formal possession of the group, which seems to have been regarded at that time as a dependency of Annam, being frequented by Cochin-Chinese for purposes of fishing etc. Formal possession does not appear to have been taken of the Paracels by any nation until Sunday, June 6th, 1909, on which date the Chinese ensign was hoisted on Duncan Island by Admiral Li Tsun of the Imperial Chinese Navy, with the Gunboats \"Fupao\" and \"Chinhao\". This action on the part of the Chinese Government was probably the outcome of their discovery earlier in the year that the Pratas group, about 360 miles N.E. of the Paracels, was being worked for guano by a Japanese Company, whom they dislodged on the ground that the group was Chinese territory.\n\nOn February 2nd, 1920, the British Minister in Peking was instructed that China should be encouraged to exert her sovereignty over the islands.\n\nIt is considered that although the Paracels seem unlikely to be of great value in the event of war, it is undesirable that Japan, under the cloak of commercial enterprise, should further extend her influence to the Southward by annexing a group of islands on the route between Hong Kong and Singapore.",

        "content_text": "# LAND DEVELOPMENT IN THE COLONY\n\nPaper by the Hon. Sir Paul Chater, C.M.G.\n\nIn my opinion the method by which the Economic Resources of the Colony can best be developed is by expansion, and by this I mean the acquisition of land on the sea level suitable for buildings, such as factories, godowns and tenement houses, the opening up by roadways of the higher levels at present unapproachable and the provision thereby of many excellent sites for residential property suitable for the erection of houses at rentals to suit all classes of the European Community.\n\nThat there are many localities on both sides of the harbour where such expansion can easily be made is an indisputable fact.\n\nAs one instance thereof, I have now to submit for your consideration a scheme by which a very large area of land can be added to the Colony's sea frontage at a comparatively low cost and from which the Government and Colony in general will greatly benefit.\n\nThis scheme deals with the reclamation of some 800,000 square feet of land at Kennedy Town as shown on the plan and chart which I lay on the table.\n\nThis reclamation, when completed, would give to the Colony an approximate area in Marine Lots, having a fairly deep water frontage, of 363,000 square feet, and in Inland Lots an approximate area of 191,000 square feet, which latter area would be further increased by some 250,000 to 300,000 sq. feet by land in the immediate neighbourhood now merely hillside, and from which the necessary filling for the reclamation could most conveniently be taken. Leaving out of consideration for the moment this further increase to our Inland Lot area, we obtain on the reclamation itself an area available for building of 554,000 square feet, the remaining 246,000 square feet being required for roads, etc.\n\nThe estimated cost of this reclamation, including granite faced Praya Wall, nullahs, and filling to an average level of 13 feet above Ordnance Datum and contingencies, is $557,000 or about 69 cents per square foot of area to be reclaimed. This is, when compared with the cost of private reclamation recently made at North Point, and which worked out at about 60 cents per square foot, a liberal figure. Existing lots in the immediate neighbourhood have very recently been sold at $7.00 per square foot for Marine and $5.00 per square foot for Inland Lots.\n\n| Category | Area (sq. feet) | Price per sq. foot | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Marine Lots | 363,000 | $7.00 | $2,541,000 |\n| Inland Lots | 1,337,000 | $5.00 (revised to $3.00 later) | $1,337,000 (initial), $955,000 (revised) |\n\nLess cost of reclamation |  |  | $557,000 |\n| Net Profit |  |  | $3,321,000 (initial), $1,831,000 (revised) |\n\nLet us suppose that the area to be obtained were sold on this basis we arrive at a gross for Marine Lots of $2,541,000 and for Inland Lots $1,337,000, totaling $3,878,000. Less cost of reclamation $557,000. A net profit of $3,321,000 but as these figures may reasonably not be readily obtainable, let us base our calculation upon the safer basis of say $5.00 per foot for Marine and $3.00 for Inland Lots. This will give a net profit of $1,831,000, to which may be added the sum to be obtained from the sale of the additional, say, 250,000 square feet obtained by the cutting of the hillside to which I referred, the cost of which is included in the cost of the reclamation, and which at, say $2.50 per foot would produce a further $625,000, making a total of $2,456,000 profit to be obtained from the sale of the full area—a very handsome sum—not to mention the steady annual income accruing to the Treasury by way of Crown Rent and Rates when the land becomes fully or partially developed. Crown Rent alone is estimated to produce over $10,000 per annum.\n\nSimilarly, further additions to our building area are well within the bounds of practicability, by reclamation of a like nature stretching from the Electric Company's property at North Point, round to Quarry Bay, and from the other side of Taikoo Dockyard on to Shaukiwan.\n\nOn the other side of the island, there exists a very large area immediately beyond Yaumati and stretching on both sides of the main road up to the village of Mong-kok-tsui, capable of being easily filled in by the cutting down of the surrounding hills, and which, when done, would add to this neighbourhood several acres of useful land.\n\nFor residential purposes, the south side of our Island has, up to now, remained practically a dead letter; but in these days of motor-cars, omnibuses and potential tramways, giving rapid and easy access to and from the business centres, the day is not far distant when the many excellent building sites to be obtained on this side of the island will be taken up, and homes where one may enjoy the benefit of the southern breezes during the hot summer months will there be established. At present, much of this land that I have in mind is occupied by our Dairy Farm, but it may be made easily available by the removal of the Farm to larger, and for their purposes, better tracts of land in the New Territory.\n\nThese, Gentlemen, are a few suggestions I wish to put forward dealing with the subject of the development of the Colony's resources, and I feel confident that were building sites prepared at the places I have indicated, and more particularly in the Kennedy Town and Yaumati districts, they would find ready purchasers at good prices; whereas they will remain practically unsaleable if the preparation of the sites is deferred. \n\n330",

SIR PAUL CHATER, C.M.G.\n\nWhen addressing you the other day on the subject of the Colony's Resources, I referred to the acquisition of a further large area of land to be obtained by reclamation at North Point, extending from the Electric Company's Station almost to Quarry Bay.\n\nI have now gone somewhat more fully into the matter, and as you will see from the plan and chart, which I lay on the table, the approximate total area to be obtained by this scheme is 3,800,000 square feet at an estimated cost, including granite-faced Praya Wall, roads, filling to an average level of 13 ft. above ordnance datum and contingencies, of $2,660,000.00 or about 70 cents per square foot.\n\n| Description | Area (square feet) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Total area to be reclaimed | 3,800,000 |\n| Less required for Roads, Streets, &c. | 750,000 |\n| Gives us an area in Marine Lots | 3,050,000 |\n\nLand in this neighbourhood has, to my knowledge, been sold at as much as $2.50 per square foot, but to place our calculations upon a more conservative and safer basis, let us presume that the price be only $2.00 per square foot, at which price we arrive at a gross receipt of $6,100,000.00. Less cost of reclamation $2,660,000.00. A net gain of some $3,440,000.00 to the Colony's revenue, if and when all the land is sold.\n\nThe necessary filling for this work is readily obtainable from the hillsides in the immediate neighbourhood, and, as I pointed out when putting forward my suggestion for the Kennedy Town development, a further considerable area by way of Inland Lots will also be obtained in this district.\n\nIt is impossible at the moment to approximate what this area will be, but it cannot but be very considerable, and I estimate the price obtainable for such Inland Lots at from 50 cents to $1.00 per square foot.\n\nIt will thus be readily seen how large an increase must accrue to the revenues of the Colony by way of Land Premia, Crown Rent, Government Rates on rateable improvements whensoever such scheme be carried out to completion.\n\nI do not, however, advocate for a moment the immediate undertaking of so large a work, particularly in view of the more important Praya East Reclamation which will no doubt be shortly put in hand, but rather throw out this suggestion as a possible and potential asset to the Colony in years to come.\n\n331",

Haslewood, a retired naval officer, has written an emphatic article for the Daily News exposing child slavery in the British colony of Hong Kong, which has excited much comment, as the Colonial Office has admitted the fact, under his pressure.\n\nLieutenant-Commander Haslewood says: \n\nFor nearly a hundred years this island, with its 200,000 Chinese inhabitants, has been under our rule. There are now some 6,000 Europeans, and the island is controlled by the Governor and a Legislative Council. When I was acting as Superintendent of the Admiralty Chart Depot there in 1919, my wife and I were horrified by the screams of a child which came during the evening from a Chinese house.\n\nAs a result of our efforts to make inquiries we came to the conclusion that this must be one of those cases of slavery which we had heard darkly hinted at. When I reported the case to the police I was told that it was 'probably a slave girl'.\n\n**RESIGNED HIS PLACE.**\n\nMy wife immediately began investigations, and these revealed to us the fact, which had indeed already been discussed in a sermon by the British chaplain, that each Chinese house in... \n\n`GR1178/665/145` \nPage 93",

        "content_text": "DAILY NEWS. MAY 11. 1921. CHILD SLAVERY UNDER BRITISH RULE.\n\nBy H. L. HASLEWOOD, Lieut.-Commander R.N. (retired). It is high time that the British public were fully informed of the abominable system of child-slavery which prevails in the Crown Colony of Hong Kong.\n\nFor nearly a hundred years this island, with its 200,000 Chinese inhabitants, has been under our rule. There are now some 16,000 Europeans, and the island is controlled by the Governor and a Legislative Council. When I was acting as Superintend- ent of the Admiralty Chart Depot there in 1919, my wife and I were horrified by the screams of a child which came during the evening from a Chinese house.\n\nAs a result of our efforts to make inquiries, we came to the conclusion that this must be one of those cases of slavery which we had heard darkly hinted at. When I reported the case to the police, I was told that it was \"probably a slave girl.\" My wife immediately began investigations, and these revealed to us the fact, which had indeed already been discussed in a sermon by the British chaplain, that each Chinese house in the Colony had one or more girls virtually in a position of slavery. The custom is called adoption, but money payments are usually made, and in the majority of cases the girls became household drudges and worse.\n\nAs the result of our motion, I relinquished my appointment, and step by step, I forced the Colonial Office to admit the material fact in this grave indictment of British honour.\n\nA reply recently given by the Colonial Office to questions regarding the buying and selling of children in Hong Kong was as follows:\n\nBuying and selling of human beings does not take place openly in Hong Kong, but a custom does exist there, as elsewhere in China, by which, in return for money payment, girls are transferred by their parents or natural guardians to the service of another household, usually for the purpose of domestic service, though the transaction is described by the Chinese as a form of adoption.\n\nOutside official circles, it is hard to believe that anyone can distinguish the difference between the transfer of a girl for a money payment and actual buying and selling.\n\nSheltering under this custom, the most revolting abuses in the traffic of girls and children are openly carried out. Go-betweens or brokers are employed for the sale and purchase of these unfortunate girls, and the fact that large numbers are sold into the local houses of ill-fame, and are shipped overseas for the same purpose, is perfectly well known to the whole shipping community.\n\n\"Sold in Marriage.\" The \"Hong Kong Weekly Press\" of March 12, 1921, writes as follows:\n\nWe have heard one of the leading Chinese residents of Hong Kong express the opinion that fully 90 per cent. of the children bought in the Colony are bought really as a commercial speculation.\n\nThey are purchased at a very tender age for a few dollars, \"trained\" in domestic service for a few years, and sold in marriage perhaps for many times the original purchase price.\n\nIn circumstances like these, it will instantly be recognised that the system is open to great abuse, especially in the case of children who fail to develop personal attractions which enhance their marketable value.\n\nAn astounding feature of the case is that the above practice has been definitely pronounced as illegal in China itself, and that the Colonial Office are fully aware of this fact, but in spite of this, no steps are taken to abolish the practice in Hong Kong.\n\nBurns and Bruises. Revolting cases of brutal ill-treatment were brought before the Hong Kong magistracy on July 15 and August 3 of last year, when two girls were taken to the hospital covered with burns and bruises from head to foot as a result of the treatment they had received from their purchasers.\n\nOn January 24 and on Jan. 23 of this year, and also on Feb. 7, three small girl children were taken to hospital in the same condition. One of them, while sick (as her mistress admitted), had been beaten and kicked about, and bore the marks of a rattan cane. To quote the exact words, she was \"literally covered with bruises caused by some blunt, rough instrument.\"\n\nThe following case shows that the buying and selling is by no means confined to adoption and domestic service, as the Colonial Office would have us believe:\n\nOn December the 8th, 1920, a Chinese woman was charged with obtaining by false pretences the sum of thirty dollars. The evidence showed that she arranged for the sale of her sister as a concubine. As is usual in these cases, incredible as it may seem, no exception was taken to the buying and selling, but only to the question of false pretences, the woman having represented her sister as being unmarried.\n\nBabies as Burdens. A case came before the courts recently in which tiny children aged 11 and 13 were found to be carrying weights of salt up the steep hill of the Peak, Hong Kong.\n\nQuestions in the House of Commons elicited the fact that there are no regulations in Hong Kong controlling the amount of work which a child may be called upon to do, nor any limit of hours for which a child may be called upon to work; and, further, that a resolution carried unanimously at a meeting of the Sanitary Board in Hong Kong in May, 1919, calling for by-laws prohibiting the employment of children under the age of 14 in factories or workshops for more than 10 hours in any one day was rejected.\n\nIt is intolerable that such a state of slavery should exist in a British colony, where a British Governor rules practically without check, and it would appear that nothing but public opinion is likely to effect any real or lasting reform.",

Southward and westward of the Hussey and Cust Rocks the contours are practically the same. Northward and eastward of those rocks, i.e. within the bight of Hung Hom Bay, the new contours from fathoms inwards are slightly further seaward than the old.\n\nFrom this it will be seen upon examining the plans accompanying this report, to which reference is made in the next paragraph, that the depth of water in the approaches to the proposed works has been well maintained, and the slight shoaling which appears to have taken place has been confined to Hung Hom Bay and that, for the most part, is within the limits of the jetty and reclamation works proposed.\n\n42.\n\nThis report is accompanied by four Drawings, viz.:\n\n1.

With regard to Belcher Ridge, we would propose to dredge down to 36 feet below extreme low water over the area crossed by red lines on the Drawings, that is to remove the portion protruding northwards of the general line of the 5 fathom contour as given on the Admiralty Chart. It will be seen that we also propose in connection with the first instalment of the works, to remove the Cust Rocks down to the same level, so as to give a perfectly clear access to the jetties, free from any obstruction.\n\nIn estimating the cost of the works we have kept in view the local prices furnished to Mr. Wilson on the occasion of his visit last February, making allowances for the differences in the character of the work, and of the methods and appliances required for their execution, as compared with those to which the local prices actually applied. We have also assumed that all material above the lines on the drawings forwarded to us, described as \"hard as derived from prickings\" can be removed by direct dredging by a bucket dredger without recourse to blasting. Keeping these points in view we estimate the cost of the first instalment of the works as shown by Red Colour on the Drawings at approximately:\n\n59.\n\n  \n    Jetties Nos. 1 and 2, including filling\n    ...\n    $2,120,000\n  \n  \n    Reclamation and dredging in connection with jetties\n    \n    $98,000\n  \n  \n    Dredging Belcher Ridge\n    ...\n    $13,000\n  \n  \n    Dredging Cust Rocks\n    **\n    $29,000\n  \n  \n    \n    \n    $4,260,000\n  \n\n--22--",

        "content_text": "Official Report\n\n29 May 1922\n\nHONG KONG (LIEUT.-COMMANDER HASLEWOOD),\n\n44. Mr. INSKIP asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he is aware that the Governor of Hong Kong requested the Naval Authorities at Hong Kong to restrain the wife of Lieut.-Commander Haslewood, then superintendent of the chart department, from advocating publicly the prohibition of the mui tsai system, and that the Commander-in-Chief thereupon tried to bring pressure to bear upon Mrs. Haslewood, through her husband, to desist from her public advocacy of a Measure which has now been substantially adopted by His Majesty's Government, as evidenced by the proclamation in Hong Kong that slavery is not allowed to exist in the British Empire and that, therefore, the mui tsai are not the property of their owners; and whether, in view of all the circumstances, the Government can make some amends both to Lieut.-Commander Haslewood and to Mrs. Haslewood.\n\nMr. CHAMBERLAIN: I had better first state the facts as far as I have been able to ascertain them. According to the Governor's report, his attention was drawn to the fact that Mrs. Haslewood was at that time conducting her campaign, which included allegations of widespread cruelty to mui tsai, in terms which gave much annoyance to the Chinese community. The Chinese have great regard for official position, and when an officer's wife, with the encouragement of her husband, made attacks of this character, the Governor considered that there was a danger that they might get the impression that the Government approved the terms which were employed, and that thus a state of ill-feeling towards the British Government would be created which would be highly undesirable, especially in view of the unsettled state of South China. A Governor is both entitled and bound to do all he can to restrain persons from acting in a manner likely to disturb the peace of the colony for which he is responsible. In these circumstances, the Governor had decided to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies to request the Admiralty to move Lieut.-Commander Haslewood to another station, but on further consideration, not wishing to damage Lieut.-Commander Haslewood's professional prospects, he communicated privately with the Commodore on the subject, suggesting that he should ask Lieut.-Commander Haslewood to restrain his wife from taking part in a public controversy affecting racial questions and customs and stirring strong and dangerous feeling in the Chinese community.\n\nThe Commodore, and subsequently the Commander-in-Chief, interviewed Lieut.-Commander Haslewood, and the Commander-in-Chief informed him that if he wished to continue his campaign, he ought to resign his official appointment in the Dockyard. In the meantime, Mrs. Haslewood was taken to hospital, and her condition was such that the doctors had the gravest doubts as to her recovery if she did not leave the Colony at once. The Commander-in-Chief accordingly informed Lieut.-Commander Haslewood that he was prepared to allow him to proceed home with his wife and to replace him in the Chart Office by another officer. Lieut.-Commander Haslewood accepted this offer, and on returning home gave as his reason for leaving the Chart Depot: \"I applied to proceed on urgent private affairs. This was approved by the Commander-in-Chief, China Station.\"\n\nLieut.-Commander Haslewood was a retired officer who had volunteered for service during the War. About the time of his leaving Hong Kong, the War being over, the Admiralty were reverting such officers to the retired list, and they were being warned in advance of the likelihood of their being relieved at an early date by active service officers as opportunity offered. The object of this warning was to give these officers as much notice as possible of the impending change. Lieut.-Commander Haslewood knew that this was the Admiralty policy at the time, though it is doubtful if the warning reached him before he left Hong Kong. It will be seen that the naval authorities acted at the request of the Governor, and the Governor seems to have shown all possible consideration in the performance of what he felt to be his duty to the Colony. Lieut.-Commander Haslewood suffered no injury to his professional career, and the Admiralty did not at any time express displeasure at his conduct.\n\nI wish to make it quite clear that there has not at any time been any suggestion that Lieut.-Commander Haslewood and Mrs. Haslewood acted from any but the highest motives.\n\nSir J. D. REES: Is not the Proclamation of the Governor in spirit a negation of the spirit of self-determination, seeing that the British are a mere handful among half a million of Chinese?\n\nPage 115",

        "content_text": "10th April, 1922.\n\n601\n\nDear Private Secretary,\n\nIn reply to your letter of 7th April, on the subject of Lieut:Commander Haslewood's activities in Hong Kong, the facts concerning the termination of his appointment as Superintendent of the Chart Depôt are as follows:-\n\nAbout November, 1919, the Governor informed the Commodore that embarrassment was being caused to the Hong Kong Government by Mrs. Haslewood's letters to the Press on the subject of Child Slavery, and that either these letters should cease or that he must take steps to put a stop to a state of affairs which was likely to create a disturbance in the Colony.\n\nThe Commodore interviewed Lieut:Commander Haslewood and told him of the Governor's attitude. He replied that he agreed with and was ready to support his wife's action and did not propose to take any steps to restrain her. The Commodore thereupon informed him that he must refer the whole matter to the Commander-in-Chief, who was present at that time in Hong Kong. The Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir A.L.Duff, KCB., reports that the Commodore showed him a communication from the Governor as to the activities of Lieut:Commander Haslewood and his wife in the Press Campaign against \"Child Slavery\" at Hong Kong. The Governor was of opinion that it was most undesirable that anyone holding the position of an Officer, or his wife, should make exaggerated allegations against the Chinese Community.\n\nThe Commodore informed the Commander-in-Chief of the unsatisfactory result of his interview with Lieut:Commander Haslewood. The Commander-in-Chief accordingly interviewed Lieut:Commander Haslewood and informed him that though as Admiral he had no jurisdiction over this Officer's wife, he considered that if he wished to continue his campaign he ought to resign his official appointment.\n\nIn the meantime Mrs. Haslewood was taken to hospital and her mental condition was such that the doctors had grave doubts of her recovery if she did not leave the Colony at once. The Commander-in-Chief informed Lieut:Commander Haslewood that he was prepared to allow him to proceed home with his wife, in which case his appointment would be filled by another Officer. Lieut:Commander Haslewood thereupon requested to be sent home.\n\nPlease return Mes-rs.Hulton's letter and the article, which are being sent in original.\n\nYours sincerely,",

Lieut: Commander Haslewood, on his return, with a view to a settlement of his account was asked for and gave the following explanation of his leaving the Chart Depot in Hong Kong. The reasons for my leaving the Chart Depot were as follows:\n\n\"I applied to proceed home on urgent private affairs. \"This was approved by the Commander-in-Chief, China Station\".\n\nLieut: Commander Haslewood was a retired Officer who had volunteered for service during the war. About the time of his leaving Hong Kong, the War being over, the Admiralty were reverting such Officers to the Retired List and they were being warned in advance of the likelihood of their being relieved at an early date by Active Service Officers as opportunity offered. The object of this warning was to give these Officers as much notice as possible of the impending change. Lieut: Commander Haslewood knew that this was the Admiralty policy at the time, though it is doubtful if the warning reached him before he left Hong Kong.\n\nIn view of the two preceding paragraphs, the Admiralty deny, and will be surprised if Lieut: Commander Haslewood now permits it to be stated, that he was \"driven out\" of a lucrative appointment by the Admiralty. Nor does it seem strictly accurate to say that \"discipline told\". He resigned and went home under \"a cloud\". In point of fact the Governor and the Commander-in-Chief were saved the necessity of taking any decision either as regards this Officer or his wife, owing to the illness of Mrs. Haslewood, which made necessary her return to England with her husband to accompany her, he being allowed to vacate his appointment and return home at his own request. He was merely naturally told that the appointment could not be kept open for him, but he could not possibly have expected otherwise.\n\nOn his return home Lieut: Commander Haslewood attacked the Admiralty, asking for compensation and redress and was informed (in addition to matters relating to the settlement of his account) that the Admiralty had made no charge against him and that he was in fact relieved of his appointment in Hong Kong at his own request. Then follows the excerpt on pages 3 and 4 of the",

        "content_text": "77 \n\nHUSBAND AND WIFE IN THE NAVY. \n\nMr. Harold Begbie has asked me to publish the following letter, which he addressed to the Times about a fortnight ago, but which the editor was unable to avail himself of.\" I am very pleased to comply with the request, because the matter with which the letter deals is of great interest to the public and of special concern to officers in His Majesty's Service. I believe that the same fate befell a letter written to the Times on the same subject by an eminent dignitary of the Church. It is not for one editor to judge the way in which another exercises his discretion in a matter of this kind, but all recent readers of the Times will agree that, whatever the reason for the rejection of these letters may have been, it was not shortage of space.\n\nBehind the admirable action of Mr. Winston Churchill in making an end of child slavery in Hong Kong is an incident worthy of the public attention.\n\n\"The wife of Lieutenant-Commander H. L. Hazlewood became aware of this slavery, and its immoral consequences, in November, 1919. Her husband had just arrived in Hong Kong to take up the appointment of Superintendent in the Chart Department. Mrs. Hazlewood's first endeavours lay in an appeal to British authority. Only when nothing came of those efforts did she appeal to British public opinion in Hong Kong by addressing a well-reasoned and temperately expressed letter to the local newspapers.\n\n\"For this action her husband was made to suffer. He was told by the Commander-in-Chief that he must either prevent his wife from writing letters to the press or resign his appointment. The young officer refused to interfere with his wife's liberty, and was driven to resign.\n\n\"He finds no fault with his superior officers, and remains a faithful believer in the discipline of the Royal Navy. But he feels it a hardship that he should be called upon to suffer, not in the interests of the Royal Navy, but to satisfy the feelings of the Governor of Hong Kong, who, since that day, has issued a proclamation to the effect that inasmuch as slavery is not allowed in the British Empire, it must be understood that Mui Tsai are not the property of their employers.\"\n\n\"In a letter dated October 8, 1921, the British Admiralty made the following remarkable confession to Mr. Hazlewood:-\n\nAs regards the interference with your wife's actions in Hong Kong, such action as was taken by the Naval Authorities to induce you to restrain your wife from interfering publicly in a controversial matter of the domestic politics of the colony was taken at the request of the Governor in order to avoid the necessity of the Governor taking direct steps in the matter.\n\n\"That Governor, who lifted no finger to abolish the scandal of child slavery under the British flag, remains in office, after having driven into private life a brilliant and devoted naval officer, whose chivalry to his wife has helped to rid us all of a shame no honest person could bear to think about.\n\nWith these facts before them, will not Parliament and the public agree that the British Government owes a public apology to Lieut.-Commander Hazlewood! But for him and his wife, slavery of little children would still be tolerated under the British flag.\n\n\"This is a matter of high importance. As things now stand a local Governor has power to interfere with the moral liberty of a wife whose husband is serving the country in the executive Forces, and, apparently, a Governor who is forced to do by the Minister at home what he should have been the first to undertake on his own initiative, can remain in office without a reprimand, while a humble individual who has brought reform to pass can be deprived of his pay and dismissed like a dishonest servant.\n\n\"Not on these foundations did our forefathers build up the structure of the British Empire which we inherit and inhabit, sometimes thinking when we decorate the walls or change the hangings that we ourselves are the builders.\n\n\"Believe me to be\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nHAROLD BEGBIE.\"\n\nIn view of what has been said in TRUTH on previous occasions it is scarcely necessary to add that I quite agree with Mr. Begbie both about **Mui Tsai** and about the treatment of Lieut.-Commander Hazlewood. So will most people. Mr. Churchill rightly interpreted British feeling when he put a stop, regardless of the consequences, to the toleration by a British colonial government of practices utterly repugnant to British ideas not to say the common principles of humanity. After he has taken that course, it is monstrous that a servant of the Crown should be punished in any way simply because he refused to stop his wife from bringing the evil to light. Even had Mrs. Hazlewood done something which the Home Government disapproved of, the punishment of her husband for not stopping her would be a questionable step in these days. The doctrine that a wife when she comes into conflict with the law must be presumed to act under the coercion of her husband has lately engaged the attention of the law courts, and is now to be investigated under the directions of the Lord Chancellor. The power of a husband to control his wife's doings has degenerated into a legal fiction, and over that fiction is on the way to be dissipated. In this state of things it is...\n\nPage 236\n\nUN RIG...",

        "content_text": "# REVISION OF THE RULES OF PROCEDURE, \n\nThe Committee decided, with reference to Rule 2 of its Rules of Procedure, that the Chairman and Vice-Chairman should hold office from one spring session to another.\n\n## PUBLICITY OF MEETINGS.\n\nThe Committee noted that the Council had agreed that it should be left to the discretion of the Committee to decide what publicity should be given to its meetings.\n\nThe Committee decided that for this session all the meetings should be held in public unless the members of the Committee wished to sit in private for the discussion of any particular question.\n\n## THE PROPOSALS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.\n\nThe Delegation of the United States of America presented the two following proposals:\n\n\"1. If the purpose of the Hague Opium Convention is to be achieved according to its spirit and true intent, it must be recognised that the use of opium products for other than medicinal and scientific purposes is an abuse and not legitimate.\n\n\"2. In order to prevent the abuse of these drugs, it is necessary to exercise the control of the production of raw opium in such a manner that there will be no surplus available for non-medicinal and non-scientific purposes.\n\nThese proposals were amplified by the United States representatives, who, in commenting on them, showed that they were in full accordance with both the letter and the spirit of the International Opium Convention of 1912.\n\nThe Committee very fully examined the proposals of the United States. It would be difficult in a short space to summarise the discussions which took place, but a full report of them is included in the minutes of the meetings, and reference should be made to them. After a long discussion, and on the proposal of a Drafting Committee which was appointed to prepare the final text, the Committee adopted unanimously the following resolution:\n\n\"I. The Advisory Committee on Traffic in Opium accepts and recommends to the League of Nations the proposals of the United States representatives as embodying the general principles by which the Governments should be guided in dealing with the question of the abuse of dangerous drugs, and on which, in fact, the International Convention of 1912 is based, subject to the fact that the following reservation has been made by the representatives of the Governments of France, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal and Siam:\n\n\"The use of prepared opium and the production, export and import of raw opium for that purpose are legitimate so long as that use is subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter II of the Convention.\n\n\"II. The Advisory Committee, appreciating the great value of the co-operation of the Government of the United States of America in the efforts which the League has for the past two years been making to deal with the question of the abuse of dangerous drugs, expresses the belief that all the Governments concerned will be desirous of co-operating with that Government in giving the fullest possible effect to the Convention.\n\n\"III. In bringing the American proposals to the notice of the Council and the Assembly, the Advisory Committee would recall that, during the two years that have elapsed since the Convention came into operation, it has worked towards the same ends by: (1) taking all possible steps to secure the adhesion of all countries to the Convention; (2) investigating the question of the world's needs of the manufactured drugs for medicinal and scientific uses with a view to the eventual limitation of the production of these drugs; (3) recommending the system of import certificates, arranging the exchange between States of information in regard to the illicit traffic in the drugs, and proposing other measures for securing international co-operation in suppressing that traffic; (4) inviting the Powers with territories in the Far East to review their requirements of opium, and submitting proposals for an investigation by the Chinese Government of the conditions in China with a view to the more effective application of Chapter II of the Convention and the solution of the problem of the use of prepared opium in the Far East; (5) collecting and publishing information as to the measures taken to give effect to the Convention and the position generally in all countries in regard to the traffic with a view to securing the enforcement of the Convention.\n\n\"IV. As a means of giving effect to the principles submitted by the representatives of the United States and the policy which the League, on the recommendation of the Committee, has adopted, and having regard to the information now available, the Advisory Committee recommends to the Council the advisability of inviting:\n\n\"(a) The Governments of the States in which morphine, heroin or cocaine and their respective salts are manufactured and the Governments of the States in which raw opium or the coca leaf is produced for export for the purpose of such manufacture; \n\"(b) The Governments having territories in which the use of prepared opium is temporarily continued under the provisions of Chapter II of the Convention, and the Government of the Republic of China,\n\nto enter into immediate negotiations (by nominating representatives to form a committee or committees, or otherwise) to consider whether, with a view to giving the fullest possible effect to the Convention of 1912, agreements could not now be reached between them:\n\n\"(a) As to a limitation of the amounts of morphine, heroin or cocaine and their respective salts to be manufactured; as to a limitation of the amounts of raw opium and the coca leaf to be imported for that purpose and for other medicinal and scientific purposes; and as to a limitation of the production of raw opium and the coca leaf for export to the amount required for such medicinal and scientific purposes. The latter limitation is not to be deemed to apply to the production and export of raw opium for the purpose of smoking in those territories where that practice is temporarily continued under the provisions of Chapter II of the Convention;\n\n\"(b) As to a reduction of the amount of raw opium to be imported for the purpose of smoking in those territories where it is temporarily continued, and as to the measures which should be taken by the Government of the Republic of China to bring about a suppression of the illegal production and use of opium in China.\n\n## Reservation by the Representative of the Government of India.\n\nThe representative of the Government of India associates himself with the foregoing resolution, subject to the following reservation regarding paragraph 1:\n\n\"The use of raw opium, according to the established practice in India, and its production for such use, are not illegitimate under the Convention.\"\n\nThe representatives of the United States of America communicated to the Advisory Committee the following reply regarding the above resolution:\n\n\"I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of June 5th, 1923, enclosing a copy of the resolution adopted by the Advisory Committee in regard to the propositions presented by the United States representatives.\n\n\"The reservation made by the representatives of the Governments of France, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal and Siam in adopting the American proposals appears to be but a reaffirmation of Chapter II of the Hague Opium Convention, and, as such, gives rise to no question. Paragraphs II and III are matters to which no exception could, it is hoped, be taken, especially as it is the earnest desire of the United States to co-operate in every possible way in the work of suppressing the abuse of narcotic drugs.\n\n\"While I am without specific instructions in regard to the subject-matter of Paragraph IV, it contains a suggestion which I shall take pleasure in submitting to my Government for favourable consideration.\n\n(Signed) Stephen G. PORTER.\"\n\n## APPLICATION OF CHAPTER II OF THE CONVENTION WITH REFERENCE TO EUROPEAN POSSESSIONS AND OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE FAR EAST.\n\nThe Advisory Committee very fully discussed the question of the use of prepared opium and examined the figures for consumption in the European Possessions and other countries in the Far East. It reached the conclusion that the general situation does not show at present the gradual reduction of the use of prepared opium which is stipulated by the terms of Chapter II of the Convention, and adopted by six votes to one, with one abstention, the following resolution proposed by the representative of Great Britain:\n\n\"The Advisory Committee, having regard to the large amount of detailed information now available, recommends the Council to invite the Powers with Far Eastern territories where the use of opium for smoking is temporarily continued, in pursuance of Chapter II of the Opium Convention, to enter into immediate negotiations, by means of calling a special conference of representatives of these Governments, or otherwise, to consider what measures could be taken to give a more effective application to Chapter II of the Convention and to bring about a reduction of the amount of opium used, and whether, on the lines of the suggestions set out below or on other lines, an agreement or understanding could not now be reached for the adoption of a uniform policy on the matter:\n\n`J.N.250(F) + 180(A.) 6/23 + 1.300(F) + 1.400(A.) 7/23.

The Superintendent of Imports and Exports who, as I understand, estimates that the amount of opium annually smoked in the Colony is nearly double that sold by the Government Monopoly, concludes that it is impossible to contemplate any further steps towards the suppression of opium in the Colony as the supplies of Chinese opium are so abundant. I am not sure that this conclusion is the right one, and he is not confusing two different things: the possibility of suppressing opium smoking in the Colony and the continuance of the monopoly on its present lines. One conclusion which might plausibly be drawn from the report is that the present system of control is shown to be quite ineffective for its purpose.\n\nThe report also tends to confirm what we have previously urged upon you that much more vigorous measures on the part of the local Government are required for getting at the big people like Clemasse who are behind the trade (see especially the opening and concluding sentences of the Superintendent's report of Lot 7th). We have just come upon the tracks of other powerful firms and Syndicates.\n\nFor the point of taking action against smuggling, it suggests that we need to get at the big men serpicked of the traffic. This is now being vrated the buring concerned regularly in comes of this country & is purviding an astonishing amount of evidence.\n\n| Column1 | Column2 |\n|---------|---------|\n| ...     | ...     | \n\nPage 1260  \nPage 93  \n40.54 846",

Marconi Standard issued 13th December, 1920, by Secretary, General Post Office, London. I have served in this ship since 12th April, 1923. I joined Marconi Company 12th April, 1922, and started on foreign service on 9th June, 1923. First on S.S. \"Seang Bee\" and then on this ship. At about 01.30 hours G.M.T. on 13th January, I was sitting in my cabin having breakfast. I was on watch and had the receiving phones on my head connected by a long wire to the apparatus. The first thing unusual I heard were whistles, footsteps, and shouting, and I heard a gang of men coming to the boat deck. Some went forward to the Officers' mess, and some came to my cabin. The next thing I heard was a revolver shot fired just behind my head. I turned round, and by that time, there were about 6 men in my cabin and 6 on the deck immediately outside. All were armed, those inside with automatics, and some of those outside with revolvers; some had automatics. They asked me in pidgin English if I had a revolver. I said that I had no arms. One of the men took the receivers off my head and went to the operating room, which is next, connected by a doorway. Some of them began opening the drawers, asking me if I had any money. Less than 5 minutes after this, they made me go along to the chart room, where a man stood guard over me with a hatchet. 5 minutes after which I was taken to the bridge, a few minutes after that the Captain came along. While they were taking me out of my cabin, the man who took the phones cut the aerial lead, but I did not see any further damage being done to the wireless gear. After this, I was kept under guard the whole time and was only once allowed back to my cabin in order to obtain warm clothing. At about 15.00 hours on the 15th inst., an armed pirate escorted me down and sat in the operating room. He was the chief pirate, and after a short while, he left, and another man took his place. I obtained my clothes, locked the door, and offered him the key...",

The original text is largely unintelligible due to OCR errors, but the coherent part of the statement is as follows:\n\nI was robbed of my sleeve links in case, value about $16.00, and nothing else. I could recognise the No.1 pirate. I don't think I would know any of the others. The No.1 pirate is fairly tall for a Chinese, has a slight stoop and is well built with fairly broad shoulders. His hair is cut close and he appeared to have some education and can speak a little English. I saw him study the chart. They asked me if I had lost anything and offered to return it.\n\n(Sd.) P. J.

        "content_text": "# APPENDIX I.\n\nGovernor, Hong Kong, to Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\n(O.C., No. C. 15383.) Sir,\n\nHong Kong, June 30, 1926.\n\nI HAVE the honour to invite your attention to my secret despatch of the 20th January last, concerning the capture of steamship \"Tung Chow\" by pirates, and particularly to the sixth paragraph, from which you will see that on the 9th January Mr. Fu Peng-sheung, then Commissioner of Foreign Affairs at Canton, wrote that this outrage \"should be dealt with by the Nationalist Government themselves, who would certainly be able to exterminate these pirates. Moreover, they had already begun to move in the matter, and there was no need for foreign assistance.\"\n\n2. Not only has no attempt whatever been made from that day to this by the Canton Government to exterminate the Bias Bay pirates, but, since the seizure of steamship \"Tung Chow,\" three more piracies have been committed by the Bias Bay gang. I attach a report (Enclosure No. 1) by Mr. T. H. King, deputy superintendent of police, describing these piracies. Bias Bay is in a sort of \"No Man's Land,\" in which the writ of the Canton Government does not run, and which is dominated by pirates and brigands from the large village of Fan Lo Kong at the north-east corner of the bay.\n\n3. In view of the fact that a French vessel, the steamship \"Jade,\" was captured by Bias Bay pirates in February last, I was fortunate enough to secure the co-operation of the French naval commander-in-chief, Admiral Basire, with the British naval commander-in-chief, Admiral Sir E. Alexander-Sinclair, in a scheme whereby it is now arranged that, as a matter of routine, all British and French men-of-war on their way up and down the China coast between Hong Kong and Shanghai put into Bias Bay and steam round it, and, further, that they carry out their gunnery and torpedo exercises, as often as occasion permits, in this bay. The object of this scheme is that the pirates should so frequently see men-of-war in and about Bias Bay that they may be forced to consider it a hazardous place from which to organise piracies or to which to bring vessels which they have seized. I have endeavoured to interest the United States navy in this scheme through the United States Consul-general at Hong Kong and through the Counsellor of the United States Legation at Peking, who was recently on a visit to Hong Kong. But I have not yet had an opportunity of discussing the matter with Admiral Williams, the United States naval commander-in-chief in these waters, and I do not know what view he takes of the proposal.\n\n4. I regard it, however, as most important that these Bias Bay pirates should not be allowed to commit any further outrage with impunity. They have a long record of successful crime behind them, and I attach a précis (Enclosure No. 2) of piracies committed by them since 1921. The pirates, I may say, are led by daring men with a good knowledge and experience of ocean-going ships. I therefore took advantage of the recent presence in Hong Kong of Mr. O'Malley, Counsellor of His Majesty's Legation at Peking, to arrange for a visit of inspection to Bias Bay on the 16th June in H.M.S. \"Despatch.\" Our party, in addition to Mr. O'Malley and myself, consisted of Commodore Stirling, Colonel Montague-Bates (at present officer commanding the troops in Hong Kong), Colonel Coates, Mr. W. T. Southorn (Colonial Secretary) and several military and naval officers. We had also with us Captain H. F. Bloxham, acting assistant-superintendent of police, and Lieutenant-Commander Ingham, Royal navy, who had both participated in the raid made upon the Bias Bay pirates in co-operation with the Chinese authorities in January 1925, and described in Captain Bloxham's report, which forms an enclosure in my predecessor's despatch No. 81 of the 3rd March, 1925.*\n\n5. We made a careful inspection of Bias Bay, noting especially the anchorage to which the pirates take captured vessels, and viewing the village of Fan Lo Kong from the waters of the inlet on which it is situated. Consequent on this inspection, I have received the attached letters (Enclosures Nos. 3 and 4), dated the 24th and 25th instant, from Commodore Stirling and Colonel Montague-Bates respectively, indicating the nature of the operations which would be necessary, if a punitive expedition were to be undertaken. It is clear from these letters that prior authority from the Admiralty and War Office will be needed, and I have the honour to suggest that the consent of those Departments and also of the Foreign Office should be obtained to action on the following lines:—\n\nWhen next a piracy in Bias Bay is reported, it is proposed that two companies of a British regiment should be immediately despatched with such naval escort as may be available in accordance with a plan which is being prepared by the naval and military authorities. The expedition would proceed at once to the anchorage in Bias Bay, where pirated ships are moored, and would there land and endeavour to waylay the pirates while removing their loot. The troops would also search the pirate villages, and, if necessary, destroy them.\n\n6. Such a punitive expedition would, of course, be a warlike operation undertaken in Chinese waters and on Chinese soil. If, therefore, the co-operation of a Chinese cruiser, should one happen to be in or near Hong Kong at the time, could be obtained, this would be a great advantage. But it is not unlikely that no Chinese cruiser might be at hand, and the essence of a punitive expedition into Bias Bay is that it should follow immediately upon the report of a piracy. In such case, having regard to the fact that the Bias Bay area is outside the effective control of any administration in Canton, and having regard also to the numerous depredations committed by Bias Bay pirates in recent years, the de facto Canton Government when presented with the fait accompli might, of course, loudly protest against it as an act of war carried out by British armed forces in Kwangtung, but would, I believe, secretly rejoice at the extermination of this nest of pirates, and might even be encouraged thereafter to exert its own authority by stationing troops in this area and driving out the brigands who infest it. The result, as a whole, would I feel sure be salutary, and would not be misunderstood by the Chinese people either in Canton or in Hong Kong. It would certainly be welcomed by the Cantonese seafaring folk, and it would serve to vindicate British prestige.\n\n7. I have shown this despatch in draft to Commodore Stirling and to Colonel Montague-Bates, who concur in the practicability of the proposed punitive expedition. Accordingly I have the honour to request that, if these recommendations meet with the approval of His Majesty's Government, the necessary instructions may be sent to Hong Kong by telegram.\n\n8. I have sent a copy of this despatch to His Majesty's Minister at Peking and His Majesty's consul-general at Canton.\n\n9. I enclose a chart showing Bias Bay and its contiguity to Hong Kong waters, and I have indicated on the chart the anchorage to which pirates have in the past taken the vessels which they have seized.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nC. CLEMENTI, Governor.\n\nEnclosure No. 1\n\nPrécis of Piracies committed by Bias Bay Pirates, 1926\n\n1. Steamship \"Jade.\"-Shun Cheung Steamship Company, 6, Connaught Road, Central, 2nd floor, running between Haiphong, Kwong Chau Wan and Hong Kong. Was pirated on the 8th February, 1926, eight hours out from Kwong Chau Wan on her way to Hong Kong. She is a cargo ship, and was carrying 100 tons general cargo and bullion valued $82,900. There were ten third-class passengers. Seven of these were the pirates. They took the ship to Bias Bay and arrived off Fan Lo Kong at 10 A.M. on the 10th February. The ship was taken right up the creek, where it was in 3 fathoms of water and about 500 yards from the shore. The pirates called two sampans, which took off all the pirates and the bullion. The pirates boarded the ship at Kwong Chau Wan.\n\n2. Steamship \"Hsin Kong.\"-China Merchants' Steam Navigation Company. Was pirated on the journey from Shanghai to Canton, when she was near Swatow on the 25th March, 1926. The pirates took the ship to Bias Bay and transferred ashore cargo and loot from the passengers by means of a boat which was lying in readiness at an arranged spot. (\"South China Morning Post,\" of the 1st April, 1926.) (Hong Kong police have no report or details of this piracy.)\n\nPage 367",

It is passable only by the routes marked on the *Map*, and all of these are exceptionally defensible, even against superior numbers.\n\nOn the Mainland, the approaches to the harbour from the landing places, though still very difficult, are less so than on the Island. They are, moreover, so numerous and so widely separated over country largely lacking in lateral communications, that the defence would require the use of a very much larger number of troops than is to be found in the Garrison.\n\nFrom the LION ROCK RIDGE, every part of the harbour, and the whole of the North side of the Island can be observed.\n\n## Hydrography\n\nSee Admiralty Chart `3026`, attached. From this, it will be noticed that there are no serious navigational difficulties in landing troops at many of the places marked on the map. Some of the places, indeed, are particularly well-suited for doing so under all conditions of weather.\n\n## Chinese Population of the Colony\n\nThis is estimated at 1,000,000, distributed as follows:-\n| Location | Population |\n| --- | --- |\n| On the Island | 650,000 |\n| In Kowloon | 200,000 |\n| In Leased Territory | 75,000 |\n| Afloat | 75,000 |\n\n(f) Those on the Island are mostly concentrated in the city of Victoria. They would probably maintain a purely passive attitude so long as they were not in any danger. Many would leave the Colony, if they could do so, but it is impossible to say how the remainder would behave, if subjected to danger which they could not escape. Even if large numbers did leave Hongkong, before the exits were closed, those remaining might be numerous enough seriously to embarrass the defence.\n\n## Food Supplies\n\nThese would probably be sufficient for the diminished numbers anticipated, and should not cause serious anxiety.\n\n## Armament of the Garrison\n\n### Fixed\n\nThe fixed defences are probably sufficient to deter hostile ships from coming under their fire.

Referring to A/M Juggst, it is still possible to reach a solution along the lines of (a) HK borrowing money by paying a solution with interest for the first few years. The Treasury is putting up £160,000, which may be refunded when finances improve. Judged by thrift standards, the balance of the sum required (£150,000) is before Kaufman going into implications.\n\nI think that it ought to be proceeded by way of a 3-party conference with a view to authoritative and final discussion of all alternatives.

Let's leave it as is for now.\n   - \"Cuels\" might be \"Calls\".\n   - \"2 голо\" is likely \"2 days\" or another phrase with \"2\" and a word starting with \"d\" or another letter, but \"голо\" doesn't make sense in English.

They would accordingly send another ship to the spot as soon as possible and at the same time the Military headquarters would be requested to telegraph to the General at Walchow to send troops to cooperate in intercepting the fugitives. The local authorities are always profuse in promises of this sort, but they are incompetent and where their own immediate interests are not concerned they do very little.\n\nThere has been a lot of propaganda in the Canton Gazette and other papers about the naval base, depot and wireless station which the Canton naval authorities were about to establish at Bias Bay, but the Chief of staff admitted to me that there was no truth in all this and that there were no funds for such a scheme. After leaving the naval headquarters I went on to the Bureau for Foreign Affairs to impress on Mr. Chu, and through him the Canton Government, the enormity of this last outrage and the necessity for action. Mr. Chu was also profuse in regrets and promises.\n\n5. The truth of the matter is that the area between Bias Bay and Swabue is in the hands of pirates, brigands and communists and the military authorities seem unable to bring it under control.

She left Shanghai at 15.15 hours on 12th April, 1928, with a general cargo of about 300 tons (including 15 cases of silk) and carrying about 300 deck passengers.\n\nAt about 07.00 hours on the 14th April the master heard shouting on the deck and got up from his bunk and went to the door of his cabin where he was confronted by 2 men armed with automatic pistols which they pointed at him. They then made him go up to the bridge, where he found the Chief Officer, Mr. Ligis, standing with his hands above his head covered by 2 pirates who had short fire-arms. By signs, the master was given to understand that the pirates wanted him to hand over the ship's arms. The arms consisted of 6 revolvers and 6 Greener guns and about 500 rounds of ammunition. The arms and ammunition were handed over by the Chief Officer. The master was then taken to the engine room, and from there to the Chief Engineer's cabin. The Engineer was taken from his cabin and put into the master's cabin where he remained until the pirates left the ship. The master was then told that the ship was to be taken to Sam Chau Inlet and this place was pointed out on the chart by a pirate who appeared to have knowledge of the area (Shown on Chinese Map as Siu Mok Kong).\n\nPage 196",

The nature of the Borings (Drawing No. 5), Current Lines (Drawing No. 1), and Sections (Drawings Nos. 3 & 4), are given for the information of the Contractor, but such information is not guaranteed by the Crown Agents in any way, and Contractors must accept the same on their own responsibility.\n\n2. An examination and report on samples of borings received from the Colony has been made by Messrs. Riley, Harbord & Law (Chemists, Westminster), as follows:-\n\n25th May 1925.\n\n\"We have examined the samples taken from the bores in Hong Kong Harbour and find they consist of ordinary inorganic rock material together with a certain amount of marine shells. We kept bores 1 to 10 distinct from II to 15, as they were slightly different in appearance, but from the results of our examination, it seems that the difference is only one of colour. Both samples are very slightly alkaline and are free from any organic matter or other constituent likely to cause more than the average corrosion of sea water on iron.\n\n\"The following are the results of our examination of the two samples :-\n\nBores 1 to 10.Bores II to 15.\nInsoluble residue64.2065.12\nAlumina2'032.72\nOxide of Iron3*494-48\nLime12.7011.76\nMagnesia0.860.86\nSulphuric Anhydride0.380*42\nSulphur as Sulphide0.080.13\nLoss14.6814.98\n99'4099*55\n\n3.

We are not dealing with China, nor are we responsible for any part of it except the one small British Colony of Hong Kong, which is, roughly, thirty square miles in area.\n\nThis colony is under the direct control of the Colonial Office, and has been, ever since we acquired it nearly a hundred years ago, for it was ceded to us in 1842. It is in the same position with regard to China, that Gibraltar is in with regard to Spain; that is to say that Great Britain alone is responsible for its Government, and for the framing of its laws.\n\nOn a Sunday evening in October, 1919, a sermon was preached in the Cathedral of Hong Kong which was destined to have far-reaching results. Now this sermon came as a great shock to my husband and myself who had come recently to the colony, my husband having been appointed some months previously as Superintendent of the Naval Chart Depot.\n\nI think you will understand our feelings if I give you a quotation from that sermon.

The first, or Preliminary Examination, will cover the subjects of Elementary Anatomy, Physiology, and Hygiene, and will be taken by all nurses alike for the General Register. It is expected that the training for this period will last for 24 months, but the examination may be taken at any time after one year's training is completed.\n\nThe second, or Final Examination, for the General Part of the Register will cover the remaining subjects of this Syllabus and those included in the Nurse's Chart attached.\n\n## Examination Arrangements\n\n1. The written examination papers will be sent to the Presiding Examiner shortly before the examination by registered post, and strict precautions will be taken to ensure that the secrecy of the examination papers is maintained. The Presiding Examiner will be responsible for the safe custody of the examination papers while in her care, and the box mentioned above will be provided with a lock and key to keep the papers locked up until the commencement of that portion of the examination to which they relate. The packets of papers will be opened in the presence of the candidates for each portion of the examination.\n\n2. The dates for the oral and practical examination will be a matter of arrangement at each examination. Each candidate will be notified as to the place and date, and if possible, the hour when she will have to present herself. This notification will be given to the candidates on the first day of the written examination.\n\n3. At the conclusion of each period of the written examination, the Presiding Examiner will collect the answer books and forward them to the Board's office. Here, they will be checked and marked off on the appropriate registers and dispatched to the Examiners for marking, together with the necessary mark sheets. When returned by the Examiners, the answer books will be checked to see that every question has been marked, and the marks correctly added and transferred to the mark sheet. These marks, together with the marks returned by the Examiners taking part in the oral and practical parts of the examinations, will then be collected and entered on large mark sheets, and the examination results prepared from them. All cases in which there is any doubt, or in which the candidate falls just below the pass mark, will be referred to the Examiners for their decision.\n\n4. The Pass List will be submitted by the examining body to the Director of Medical and Sanitary Services for approval, and when approved, will be published. Each candidate will be notified of the result of her examination, and a certificate that she has been admitted to the Register will be forwarded to each successful candidate at the Final Examination.",

Shaw and members of the Legislative Council and the official party from Canton, assembled on a specially erected and gaily decorated dais at the keel of the boat, and at a given signal, the supports were released and Mrs. Chan Ming-shu broke the bottle of champagne, which was also bedecked with multi-coloured ribbons, across the boat, and with a roar, accompanied by enthusiastic cheering, the huge boat dipped gracefully into the sea, and out in full sight of the onlookers.\n\nBoth Mrs. Chan Ming-shu and Mr. T. H. R. Shaw, the manager of the China Navigation Company, were the recipients of many congratulations on the successful launching.\n\nSubsequently the guests adjourned for tea, where, at the outset, the success of the newly floated Tsinan was toasted in champagne.\n\nMr. Shaw proposed the toast. He extended grateful thanks to General and Mrs. Chan Ming-shu for their attendance that afternoon. He referred to the fact the Tsinan was the sister ship of the Taiyuan, and went on to pay a tribute to the manner in which the Taikoo Dockyard Company had built the vessel. The China Navigation Company, he said, ordered a ship to be built similar to the Taiyuan, but the Taikoo Dockyard Company had exceeded their expectations and had built a ship with more room, extra tonnage and less coal consumption. He thought the Company should be congratulated on such a record. In addition, they had extra accommodation and storage, but the only thing they had not got, was extra room for pirates. Every precaution had, in fact, been taken to minimise the danger of pirates. He was glad to see that the Canton authorities had recently sent down three naval experts to consider the question of preventing piracies and he was sure they wished them every success in their efforts in that direction.\n\nMr. Shaw then handed to Mrs. Chan Ming-shu a little souvenir of the occasion and the success of the Tsinan was drunk with enthusiasm.\n\nMrs. Chan Ming-shu Returns Thanks.\n\nIn reply Mrs. Chan Ming-shu said that it gave her great pleasure to be present on an occasion like that. She wished to express her thanks for the very magnificent gift Mr. Shaw had given her and she asked them to join with her in wishing the Company which Mr. Shaw represented, great prosperity in the future.\n\nGeneral Chan Ming-shu also spoke briefly and said what a great pleasure it was to his wife and himself to be there that day. He had great pleasure in not only wishing prosperity and long life to the new boat, but also success and prosperity to the Company, because the prosperity of the Company meant more prosperity and peace in China, which would coincide with the prosperity of the world. He proposed the health of Mr. Shaw and the China Navigation Company.\n\nThe Tsinan has been constructed to the order of the China Navigation Co., Ltd., and is 325 feet in length, with a beam of 45 feet and depth moulded to upper deck of 24 feet 9 inches, carrying a deadweight of about 3,300 tons on 18 feet draft.\n\nThe vessel is built on the deep framed system and has two complete decks and poop, bridge and forecastle. The scantlings of the vessel have been approved by the British Corporation and generally supervised during construction by the Hongkong Government to obtain their Passenger Certificate.\n\nAccommodation for the crew has been arranged forward. A second class saloon and state rooms for 34 passengers have been provided, the staterooms being large and airy, each being provided with two side scuttles. The first class saloon and eight single berth cabins have been arranged at forward end of bridge deck while the officers and engineers are berthed at aft end of bridge. Captain's house, chart room and wireless room are on the boat deck. The compradore's staff have been accommodated aft in the poop.\n\nThe vessel is provided with steam windlass and capstan forward, also a warping capstan aft on poop. Steam steering gear is housed in poop and actuated from the bridge by telemotor gear. Eight steam winches have been provided to work 8 steel derricks, one 15-ton derrick and one 30-ton derrick.\n\nThe vessel is rigged as a two-masted schooner and fitted with reciprocating engines driving one shaft and capable of driving the vessel at a speed of over 11 knots loaded.\n\nMachinery and boilers have been constructed entirely by The Taikoo Dockyard. The \"Tsinan,\" which is a sister ship of the s.s. \"Taiyuan\" launched on the 21st September, 1929, is the second ship to be built of the \"T\" class and will be engaged on the Shanghai-Canton run.\n\nFriday January 24th 1930.\n\n1\n\n60",

        "content_text": "224\n\nPage 3 of Enclosure No.5.\n\nPIRACY OF S.S. \"DELI MARU\"\n\n(Continued).\n\nThe guards were all examined by the Hongkong Police, the seriously wounded guard had recovered sufficiently to give a clear statement which could not have been concocted in collusion with the other three. It must be explained that in the port alleyway there are three or more small outboard cabins. Numbering from aft, No.1 contains Compradore's gear and is kept locked. No.2 is used as a sleeping place by four Chinese Officers' Mess boys, No.3 is used by the guards off watch.\n\nThe seriously wounded guard's statement, condensed, is as follows: \"I went on watch at midnight on the 20th. Nothing unusual occurred till about 0230 when two men came out of the cabin occupied by four Chinese male and one female passenger. (i.e. Cabin No.2 belonging to the Mess boys). I did not pay particular attention to them but as they passed me one man seized my revolver. I resisted him but the other men shot me in the chest with an automatic pistol. I was wounded by three more shots while I was lying on the deck and lost consciousness. I awoke in the cabin after the pirates had left the ship. I have been in the \"Deli Maru\" since February 1928 and I have never seen the grille gates locked except the one leading to the Engine Room. As far as I know none of the Japanese officers carry arms on their persons or in their cabins\".\n\nThe reports of the other three guards agree, as far as they go with this statement. They all stated that the Chinese mess-boys sell their cabin to passengers when possible, that the steerage passengers are allowed to roam about the ship except on the bridge and that the Engine Room grille is the only one kept closed. In one point they were wrong. They all gave the time of the piracy as 0230 but there is no doubt that it occurred at 0330 as verified by the Master's fix on the chart.\n\nFrom the Police report it would appear that the gang were inexperienced as pirates. About half the passengers were either not searched at all or else were able to pass their valuables to friends who had already been searched. The officers, after being held up in their cabins and searched for arms and money were not otherwise molested and according to their statements they assembled in the engine room. The Compradore hid in a boat, but afterwards, when things were quiet, escaped to a coal bunker where he found most of the officers and the W/T operator. The pirates disconnected the aerial but did not tamper with the W/T instruments.\n\nThe compradore's chest containing $450 and the Master's safe containing bar-gold, value $3,000, were not found by the pirates whose total takings were estimated at $4,040 in cash and goods.\n\nThese",

Hongkong to the Brothers).\n\nSUMMARY OF PRESENT POSITION.\n\nPirate haunts and personnel.\n\nThe piracy area, at present, may be considered to consist of the three bays, Bias, Honghai and Hie-che-chin with their many creeks and inlets. The pirates themselves probably live in the towns and villages in the neighbourhood of these bays.\n\n2. It has been found that FAN-LO-KONG at the head of Bias Bay is the main pirate stronghold but HAI FUNG and LU FUNG connected by boat channels to Honghai and Hie-che-chin Bays respectively, have been mentioned as pirate centres, this has, however, not been confirmed.\n\n3. There are several recognised leaders who organise their bands and plan the attacks to be carried out. These piratical expeditions are, however, financed by richer members of the community who take no risk themselves.\n\n4. A pirate band will usually contain several men who have an intimate knowledge of ships (possibly men who have previously served afloat in coastal ships) and probably a few deserters from the Army who are used to firearms. From reports obtained from ships which have been attacked it appears that the pirates usually talk HOK LO dialect.\n\nPreliminary work of pirates.\n\n5. A few experienced men leave the Bias Bay district with sufficient money to last them for several weeks. They travel, probably by junk, to a port on the route of the ship which they intend to attack. They live in a lodging house till the ship to be attacked arrives in harbour.\n\n6. The men travel in the ship as ordinary passengers, taking no arms, they learn the ship's routine, her anti-piracy organisation, position of cabins, etc. They may make two or three voyages in a ship before they are satisfied that they know her routine.\n\n7. When they consider that they have a thorough knowledge of the ship they communicate with their friends in Bias Bay and a party is sent to join them. They all live in a lodging house and await the arrival of the ship selected. The whole gang then go aboard in the guise of peaceful passengers, arranging to sleep together as far as possible.\n\nPirates' method of attack.\n\n8. The leader details his gang for their various duties and tells them that, on a given signal, they must seize the ship. The time chosen is usually at night when most of the officers and passengers are asleep. On the signal being given members of the gang rush the bridge and overpower the officer of the watch. If guards are on board these must first be overcome. Other members of the gang hold up officers and guards asleep in their cabins, disarm them and lock them up in a room.\n\nThe remainder\n\nPage 60\n\nPage 61",

These could be obtained with a shallow draught, light armament and a moderate speed which could be maintained in anything except heavy weather.\n\n(iv) Flying Boats. These would be very useful for reconnaissance work but are not suitable for actual offensive operations against the pirates, except in conjunction with surface craft and ground forces.\n\nComposition of Force.\n\n37. It is considered that the most satisfactory composite force to be maintained should consist of:\n\n(i) Four or six large motor boats. Draught not to exceed 5ft. Speed 16 to 18 knots. Armament One 3 pdr. also Lewis guns and rifles. Equipped with wireless. They should be capable of maintaining their speed in moderate weather.\n\n(ii) Two destroyers or gunboats as a support and for use in bad weather.\n\n(iii) Two or three flying boats.\n\nBases.\n\n38. There are several inlets which might be suitable as bases, it is not, however, possible to give definite recommendations without a close knowledge of the coast. From an examination of the Chart FAN LO KONG appears to be the most suitable site for the main base and TAI SAMI IN LET for a subsidiary base.\n\n39. In selecting these bases consideration should be given to the military considerations (vide paragraph 33).\n\nCoast Watching.\n\n40. It is considered that coast watching posts should be established at FOKAI POINT, CHILANG POINT and TONGMI POINT.\n\n41. These posts should be in good telegraphic communication with the bases, both naval and military, also they should have small W/T sets for communication with vessels on patrol and the bases in the event of the L/T wires being cut.\n\n42. It would probably be necessary for these posts to be guarded by a small detachment of soldiers or marines. These could be used to intercept pirates attempting to land in the adjacent bays.\n\nCommunications.\n\n43. A good system of communication is one of the first essentials to the success of any scheme against the pirates, and to enable the forces stationed in the neighbourhood to be used to the full.\n\n44. ...",

These marks, together with the marks returned by the Examiners taking part in the oral and practical parts of the examinations will then be collected and entered on large mark sheets, and the examination results prepared from them. All cases in which there is any doubt, or in which the candidate falls just below the pass mark will be referred to the Examiners for their decision.\n\n4.

Medical Schools. |\n\n## 67 \n\n### THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HEALTH AND MEDICAL SYSTEM OF THE FEDERATED MALAY STATES.\n\nThe History of the Medical and Sanitary Services of the Federated Malay States shows that until 1907 there was a separate Medical Department for each of the four States which form the Federation. There were for each a State Surgeon and a number of Medical Officers. There was no separation of the Health from Medical Services, and the duties pertaining to both sides were performed by the Medical Officer who had no special qualification in Public Health.\n\nIn 1902 was established the Institute for Medical Research to enquire into the cause of Beri-beri and other diseases whose cause and distribution were obscure. This Institute, which started with one qualified worker, gradually developed until now it has a staff of thirteen European Officers, of which eight are medical men, four are chemists, and one is an entomologist.\n\nIn 1907 a Federal Health Officer was appointed whose duties were principally advisory. In 1910 there were two Health Officers whose duties were partly advisory, partly executive. In 1911 was formed the Health Branch of the Medical Department with a Senior Health Officer and four Health Officers. The number of Health Officers gradually grew until the Health Branch now consists of 40 European Health Officers, 3 Senior Health Officer and 1 Chief Health Officer.\n\nThe Medical side has a European personnel of 62.\n\nThere is a Veterinary Branch with four Veterinary Surgeons.\n\nOver the whole is the Principal Medical Officer.\n\nAll Health Officers, Medical Officers and Research Officers are required to co-operate where necessary with the District Officers, but in no case is an officer of the Medical Department under the orders of a layman other than the British Resident of a State or the Chief Secretary.\n\nThe Health Branch deals with health work under the Sanitary Boards Enactment, the Quarantine and Prevention of Disease Enactment, the Labour Code, the Health Board Enactment, the Sale of Food and Drugs Enactment, with Anti-malaria work, with School Hygiene, with Maternity and Child Welfare, and with Propaganda.\n\nThe Chief Health Officer is Registrar General of Births and deaths, and Supt. of Vaccination. The State or Senior Health Officers are Registrars each in his own State. The District Health Officers and the Police are Deputy Registrars.\n\nGovernment has assumed responsibility for the Medical care of all the indigent sick of whatever nationality and whether or not they be British subjects.\n\nThere are 47 Hospitals—a Mental Hospital, two Leper Settlements, two Radiological Institutes.\n\nOn the Health side, there are infectious disease hospitals in every district; there is a quarantine station at Port Swettenham with accommodation for 7,000 persons.\n\nOn the investigation side, there is the Institution of Medical Research at Kuala Lumpur—which is thoroughly up-to-date and which includes a Malaria Bureau.\n\nIn a few months, there will be a second institute.\n\nUrban sanitation is carried out under the Sanitary Board, of which the Health Officer is both a member and an adviser. The Sanitary Department works under the direct supervision of the Health Officer.\n\nThe Board is responsible for policy in carrying out the Sanitary Regulations, but the Health Officer is responsible to the Board for detail in carrying out that policy.\n\n## 87",

I was in charge on the bridge at the time. I have had several years experience in sail and in the Royal Navy and hold the rank of Commander R.N.R. On Sunday morning 26th July at about 11.5 A.M. I sighted what I thought was a yacht about 4 to 5 points on my port bow. The wind was S.S.E. and the yacht seemed to be standing to the north and so far as I could judge she had the wind right aft. I could not make out her rig very clearly but thought she was fore and aft with one square sail. I watched her bearings and made up my mind that it was quite safe to cross ahead. Later the yacht appeared to alter her course to the westward until she appeared to be steering on an almost parallel course. This delayed me from putting the helm over as there appeared to be no danger and about two minutes later she came back on her original course. I then ordered the helm hard aport to pass ahead of her. This was done at once. The ship then refused to answer her helm as she should have on account of the strong ebb tide setting against her starboard bow. We were in a whirlpool which are usual there at spring tides. At the time I had no doubt but that I should be able to clear the yacht. My ship started to reply to the helm and to swing to starboard. The yacht was still standing on her course.\n\non",

The despatch in question showed that there had been a difference of opinion in the Hong Kong Harbour Advisory Committee as to whether a certain area of the harbour lying west of the Kowloon Peninsula should be dredged to a depth of 34 or 36 feet, and the Governor asked for authority to dredge to whichever depth the Imperial Shipping Committee might advise. The area in question is shown on the accompanying chart, being coloured in part blue and in part red and hatched blue. The Committee have decided unanimously to recommend that the dredging should be to a depth of 36 feet, subject to the proviso in paragraph (6) below.\n\n(2) In their investigation of this question the Committee have, as is usual in cases of this nature, had the assistance of distinguished officers of the Admiralty.\n\n(3) In reaching the conclusion indicated above, the Committee have been influenced by evidence which they have taken to the effect that the greater depth of 36 feet is desirable for the manoeuvring of the larger liners while approaching the piers of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Company. The Committee have also had before them the statement of the Admiralty, that the greater depth would be welcomed by them. It is understood that the Godown Company will be responsible for an equivalent deepening immediately in front of their piers.\n\n(4) The Admiralty have informed the Committee that they were contemplating the dredging for their own purposes to depths of from 26 to 32 feet of a portion of the harbour to the north of the area coloured blue on the accompanying chart, through which lies the approach to the Naval Coaling Station, and they have suggested that it would be to the obvious advantage, both of the Admiralty and the Hong Kong Fort Authority, if the two dredging propositions were combined and the work undertaken as a single scheme.

SW.1\n\n14\n\n56\n\nAugust 11th '32\n\nImperial Shipping Committee\n\nIn the absence of Mr. Graham on leave your letter of the 3rd inst. regarding Hong Kong Harbour has come on to me.\n\nThe Imperial Shipping Committee at its last meeting decided that I should draft a letter to the Secretary of State for circulation to the members of Committee with a view to amendment, and that I should have power to despatch the letter incorporating such of the amendments as is practicable, unless some issue of major importance were raised in which case it might be necessary to summon a meeting. What impressed the Committee and led them to favour a deepening of the whole, or, at any rate, a considerable area to 36ft was the fact that if you examined the chart, having in view the length of the larger liners, the whole area marked for dredging is really not very much for manoeuvring ships into a position to go alongside the piers, more especially as we were told that there is often a considerable current running. I do not know whether Mr. Mackie's evidence alone would have been held sufficient on this point, in view of his interested position, though he was quite emphatic. But Capt. Edgell, R.N., who with Sir Leopold Savill represented the Admiralty, was for some years representative of the Admiralty at Hong Kong, and he told the Committee from his own considerable local experience that it was desirable to allow a large area of deep water for manoeuvring.\n\nThe view of the Committee, however, was that the general dues of the port should not be increased and that the policy of the Colony in that respect should not be left, as suggested by the Governor, to be determined at a subsequent date when the bill came to be footed. The Committee came to this decision on the ground that the great number of smaller ships should not be penalised for the convenience of the few larger ships, especially as the port was already not a cheap one.\n\nI am not instructed to include the following suggestion in the draft letter, but it is obvious that since the big shipping lines, or some of them, are apparently largely interested in the Godown Company, it ought to be possible to deal with the matter by\n\nmight",

Southorn received this morning my letter of the 26th of July which had been forwarded to him from Leamington. For the purposes of the discussion at the Office next week he suggested that it would be very useful to have the following papers:-\n\n(1) A copy of the Hong Kong Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance, which contained expropriation provisions somewhat similar to those proposed in the Foreshore and Sea Bed Works Ordinance:\n\n(2) A plan of the water front of Hong Kong, or failing that a chart of the big harbour development plans for the Colony drawn up some years ago.\n\nWould you please try to get these papers? The Library will have copies of (1), and no doubt the Crown Agents and/or the Admiralty can supply copies.",

Your advice on the adequacy of the rudder area at high and low speeds is requested.\n\nIt is proposed to fit a \"Scimitar\" propeller to the launch, and the agents for this propeller have undertaken to communicate with the manufacturers in order that they may collaborate with you in producing a suitable design, which it is requested may be tested in conjunction with the model.\n\nThe mean thickness of the shell plating is .30\" and the launch is to be clencher build. A bilge keel 1 deep is to be fitted for about 45 feet, and the trace should be indicated by you.\n\nThe position of the anchor recesses are shown on the for' plan, and we would be glad of your observations as to whether or not these are clear of the bow waves.\n\nIt is desired that this launch should be able to operate within the limits indicated on the enclosed chart during the N.E. Monsoon. The Calcutta Observatory records give a maximum mean daily velocity of about 25 miles per hour with gusts up to 45 miles per hour during the Monsoon season. Mean direction of wind is N.E. & N.\n\nThe model should be subjected to wave tests corresponding to the above conditions and we would be glad to receive your observations on the seaworthiness of this design.\n\n16",

Immediately on its receipt and after examining the chart and appreciating the situation I took action as in my signals timed 1102 and 1103 of 1st February, which read as follows:-\n\n\"From : C-in-C.\n\nTo : \"SUFFOLK\", repeated Admiralty (250), Commodore, Hong Kong (308), D.8, and S.N.O.

Anti-piracy Patrol is to be reinforced and extended as necessary to intercept the vessel in the event of her being brought to the south after internal piracy. One destroyer is to proceed to Woosung, keeping a lookout for the missing vessel.

        "content_text": "16. On passage to Tsiech Point he expressed his intention to resign his post 3 weeks hence as the work was too hard.\n\n17. He appeared to cherish every hope of marching to Tai Sami from Tsiech Point, being re-embarked there and conveyed back to Autan before dark the same day with the object of meeting Colonel Chen: The military object gained by this plan of campaign appeared to be somewhat obscure. Indeed his plans generally appeared vague in the extreme.\n\n18. Another expressed hope was to be in Hong Kong on 3rd February to meet his brother for Chinese New Year celebrations.\n\n19. At 1230 communication was established with \"WU FUNG\" and Major Ma directed her to proceed to Tai Sami. She reported \"sailing now\".\n\n20. At 1310 \"DECOY\" arrived off the eastern end of the sandy beach opposite the road leading inland (Chart 1962, plan of Goat Island) but the surf being obviously too much to permit the safe disembarkation of Chinese soldiers. I proceeded 2.3 miles westward.\n\n21. The party was landed there safely though they displayed no very evident signs of enthusiasm.\n\n22. Before landing I acquainted Major Ma with the latest information received from \"DEFENDER\" who had visited Tai Sami and he informed me that he would not require my services further.\n\n23. He especially asked me to convey his thanks to the Commodore and expressed deep gratitude for the trouble taken and regrets the trouble imposed by the piracy.\n\n24. At 1502. \"DECOY\" proceeded southward to the traffic route in anticipation of Commodore's approval.\n\n25. \"DEFENDER\" who had joined me from Tai Sami was directed to resume patrol and in doing so was instructed to show herself well inside Hei Chi Chin Bay until dark.\n\n26. This disposition insured the patrol area being adequately guarded until dark.\n\n27. At 1939 when in position 133 deg:, 9.2 miles from Mirs Point \"DEFENDER\" passed to \"DECOY\" a message from S.S. \"SEISTAN\" reporting a steamer standing in towards Mirs Bay looking suspicious.\n\n28. At the same time \"SEISTAN\" was sighted and the above information confirmed by V/3.\n\n29. Course was immediately altered for Mirs Bay and speed increased to 24 knots. Very shortly after this the visibility became greatly reduced and as no fixes were possible speed had to be reduced to slow until land could be observed, which it was at close range. Asdics were beneficial as a check in feeling my way in.\n\n30. Ship established W/T communication with Police Launch No.4 and anchored in Peng Chau Roads at 2010 having observed no ships on passage.\n\n31. In the mist the searchlights proved ineffective for searching the Ha Sha beaches: this was accordingly carried out by an armed motor boat but nothing suspicious was to be found.\n\nPage 80\n\nPage 81",

        "content_text": "## 209. \nFinally, we recommend that the council of any county borough or municipal borough, large burgh, or urban district, the population of which exceeds 100,000, and the London County Council shall have the right to prohibit the sale of milk (uncertified) as defined in paragraph 207 (iv) above after a date which shall be not earlier than five years after the initiation of the scheme of eradication described in the preceding sub-section, provided that it has given not less than two years' notice of its intention to do so. We have suggested that this right should be confined to the larger local authorities in the first instance, on the ground that the policy we recommend is necessarily experimental, and if applied haphazardly by the smaller local authorities, might cause considerable hardship to particular groups of farmers. If, however, experience should show that this policy is successful in promoting indirectly the eradication of bovine tuberculosis, we believe that the minimum size of town required of local authorities before the right to prohibit the sale of uncertified milk is allowed might gradually be reduced.\n\n## 210. \nIf pasteurisation is to be officially encouraged, as it would be under the regulations which we have recommended, it is essential that every precaution should be taken to ensure that the process is carried out in a way which makes it the greatest possible safeguard to human health. At present, sanitary authorities are charged with the duty of inspecting pasteurising plants. We have evidence to the effect that this duty is not in all cases effectively carried out. For example, we have been told in evidence of a licensed plant in which, inter alia, milk which had not been pasteurised was leaking into milk which had been pasteurised. This indicates perhaps as fundamental an error in the construction of the plant as it is possible to conceive. Inspection which overlooks such errors is clearly inadequate. The duties of sanitary inspectors should be made more precise.\n\n## 211. \nThe pasteurisation of milk to be sold under the order should only be permitted in plants, the design of which has been officially approved, which have themselves been tested on erection to ensure that they conform to the approved design, and which are frequently inspected during working by an officer of the sanitary authority, who should apply prescribed tests and record the results at each visit. The authority responsible for approving the design of plants should act only after consulting the National Physical Laboratory. It might also be desirable to require certain qualifications of the person operating the plants.\n\n## 212. \nAn essential feature of such a plant is a mechanism producing automatically, whenever the plant is worked, a time and temperature chart, secured from all interference and accessible only to the inspector. It is needless to dilate upon the temptations which must arise when some accidental delay makes it important to the owner of the plant to reduce the time at which milk will be ready for delivery, or in other ways to tamper with this silent witness.\n\n## (d) Recommendations in regard to diseases of cattle other than tuberculosis.\n\n## 213. \nWe have, for reasons given in paragraph 148, confined our principal recommendations to measures directed against bovine tuberculosis. Although, for the reasons there explained, we are of the opinion that the time is not ripe for the launching of a comprehensive attack upon the other diseases of cattle, there are certain points in connection with them upon which we desire to submit recommendations.\n\n## 214. \nThe chronic streptococcal form of mastitis can be controlled in herds where it is prevalent only if laboratory tests are made of the milk of each of the cows so as to reveal those cases which, though capable of spreading infection, have not developed clinical symptoms. It is, therefore, essential that adequate facilities should be provided for farmers whose herds are suffering from this complaint to have such tests carried out. We recommend that the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Department of Agriculture for Scotland should examine the existing laboratory equipment and scientific personnel devoted to veterinary preventive medicine in England and Wales, and Scotland respectively, and take such steps as are necessary to secure that this service is available to farmers through their veterinary advisers in return for the payment of a fee to cover the cost.\n\n## 215. \nThe most pressing need in the control of Johne's disease is the perfection of the technique of diagnosis. Important progress has been made in this direction in recent years, and we recommend that the Agricultural Research Council should press on as rapidly as possible with their programme of research into this disease. The recent indications that this disease is on the increase give an added urgency to this recommendation. Once the infected animals can be detected in the early stages by a reliable diagnostic, it will be possible by at once weeding out the advanced cases and by segregating and fattening those not yet showing clinical signs to clean the herd up without much expense to the farmer.\n\n## 216. \nThe various problems connected with contagious abortion are at present under examination by a committee on Brucella abortus infection in animals and man appointed in May 1932 by the Agricultural Research Council in consultation with the Medical Research Council. We understand that important progress has been made by this committee in carrying out a thorough investigation into the various problems that this disease presents; and in particular that they are concentrating their attention on devising a method for its eradication. We consider that this is a question of great economic importance to the farmer and we recommend that this committee should be given, through the Agricultural Research Council, every possible facility for the completion of its programme.\n\nPage 50\nPage 51",

It is stated that the boats of the Messageries Maritime usually, and those of the P. & O. sometimes make use of this channel.\n\nHowever, information has been received that Sulphur Channel is not lighted, and that it is not liked by navigators because of the short turns which its use makes necessary.\n\nThe proposal to dredge the shoal between Chu Lu Kok Bank and Sha Chau is more or less an alternative project designed primarily for vessels which come up from the South and might wish to proceed direct to Whampoa to discharge a part of their cargo before proceeding to Hong Kong.

        "content_text": "# JUNK-SINKING INQUIRY\n\n## THE HONG KONG WEEKLY PRESS & \n\nThe Chairman invited Signor A. B. Laborinho (Portuguese Consul) to take a seat at the Counsel Table, after which the first witness was called.\n\n### OLD MAN'S STORY \nLee Mun, 60 years old but carrying himself well, said he was born in Shaukiwan and had been a fisherman all his life, as had his father and grandfather before him. His junk, No. 3407, was licensed and he estimated it was worth about $10,000. Shaukiwan was his home port and on September 19 he left it in company with a junk owned by one Ying Kit. They reached Che Long lighthouse on the 21st. The next morning they began fishing early. About 9 a.m. a submarine came towards them. As she approached, witness ran down to one of the holds. He heard gunfire and a shot struck the junk in the bow. Another followed which hit it amidships and a third struck the stern. The junk sank.\n\n\"My wife and three daughters were in the stern cabin when the third shot struck,\" continued witness, \"and they were all killed. I know they were killed because I looked into the cabin and saw them lifeless in a welter of blood.\n\n\"I saw some men in uniform on the submarine but I could not distinguish anything more about them as my eyesight is not good.\n\n\"Nineteen of us took to the sails and we drifted for five days and nights until a small fishing junk picked us up. This was on Sept. 27, a little after 1 p.m. We were taken to the lighthouse where I engaged a sampan and returned to Hong Kong. We had five cannons on board, kept in the hold, and six muzzle-loading rifles.\"\n\nIn answer to the Chairman, witness said the submarine was flying no flag. The nearest point from the Chinese coast the junk was when it was attacked was its distance from the Che Long lighthouse.\n\nHo Kau, 29; Lee Tai, 53, Lai Yau, 38; Lai Pak-yau, 29, fokis on junk No. 3407, and all natives of Macao, gave similar evidence. The first had his head bandaged where he had been struck by a splinter and was invited by the Chairman to sit. He said there were ten or 20 persons on board the submarine, all men of short stature. When their junk sank they took refuge on the mainsail and drifted for five days and nights. They were eventually picked up by a steamer, the name of which they did not know, and were given medical attention and food. Lai Pak-yau added that the men on the submarine resembled Chinese in their build but in no other respect.\n\nYung Yat-lei, 34, master of junk No. 615, said he was born at Pakhol and had been fishing in and around the waters of the Colony for a long time. When the submarine approached them they had sailed away, having witnessed what happened to other junks. The vessel pursued them, however, and opened fire, eventually sinking the vessel after a few shots had struck it, and killing three of the fokis. The rest got on to the mainsail and later rowed over to Chan Kau's junk which, though holed, was still afloat. They drifted for three days and three nights and were then picked up by another junk and taken to Shan Mei. Witness stayed there and returned to Hong Kong yesterday.\n\n## UNTOLD HORROR AND INHUMANITY\n\n### \"Junk-Sinking Inquiry\" \nScenes of untold horror and inhumanity, depicting the tragic annihilation of a fleet of fishing junks off Chelong lighthouse by a submarine crew on September 22, were vividly recalled by survivors at the Supreme Court on Oct 19 when the \"Junk-Sinking Inquiry\" was continued before a special Government-appointed Commission comprising His Honour the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl Newill, and Mr. Justice J. A. Fraser, Hon. Commander J. B. MacGregor, the Harbour Master.\n\nMr. J. C. McDouall is acting as Secretary to the Commission, whilst Mr. John Whyatt, Assistant Attorney General, is in charge of witnesses.\n\nGiving evidence, Chan Yat-san, 21-year-old fisherman, a native of Pinghol, said that in September this year he was working on his father's junk, No. 4123, which was licensed both at Shaukiwan and Aberdeen. Witness's father is at present in Sanmei.\n\nQuestioned by Mr. Whyatt, witness said that he remembered going in September this year, from Shaukiwan to Pakshawai, where they went to Chelong near the Lighthouse.\n\nOn September 21, they sailed from Pakshawai, and in addition to their two junks there were 10 other fishing junks. They started fishing from 4 p.m. Early next morning they arranged their nets. Witness could not tell how far they were from Chelong Lighthouse when they started fishing as they could not see the lighthouse.\n\nThey saw nothing except a steamer sailing towards them, the bow and stern of which were described as curving towards the sea, with a structure looking like a castle amidships.\n\nThis vessel fired at the fishing junks, the first of which was Lam Fook-tal's. Three shots were fired, and what happened to the junk he could not say as he was busy attending his own at the time.\n\n### TO ESCAPE DANGER \nShek Tai Cheung's junk was the next to be fired at, which also received three shots. After giving three shots at Lam Shiu Po's junk and one at Lam Chi's junk, the submarine approached nearer and nearer to his junk, witness continued.\n\nWitness then said that the bow water of his junk went under though the stern was still afloat. By this time the submarine was near enough for him to see that there were two guns aboard with 10 men working at each gun.\n\nWitness could not say what nationality the sailors were but he was quite sure that they were not Europeans.\n\n### FORMATION OF JUNKS \nAnd how long did you all remain on your junk?—For three days and three nights, then the craft went to shore.\n\nAt the end of three days and three nights, did you see another junk? Yes, and that junk towed us away.\n\nChairman: You say that the 12 junks were fishing in pairs?—Yes.\n\nCan you describe to me the formation that they were fishing in? Let me see if you can describe where the 12 junks were?—Yes, sir, I can.\n\nWitness then went to Counsel's table and illustrated the formation of the junks relative to the submarine.\n\nHow far were you away from the nearest pair of junks?—Our junk was nearest to Fung Hing-we; the distance was about four coils of ropes away.\n\nDid you remain on deck during the whole of that incident, until the submarine fired at your own junk? Although I was on deck all the time up to the moment when our junk was fired at, I was at work, I did not stop to watch what others were doing.\n\nYou stopped on deck until your own junk was fired at?—Yes. I was working all the time.\n\nYou have told us that you saw two guns on this submarine; where were they?—One on the bow and the other on the stern.\n\nDid you see any marks on the vessel? Just below the castle on the hull of the boat I saw a white line and then two dark lines.\n\nRunning the whole length of the hull, or merely around?—The lines were one white, one black and one white, these three lines went around the castle.\n\nHad you any women or children on board your junk?—Yes.\n\nHow many women?—Ten. How many children?—Two. Did you at any time see the submarine stopping to render assistance to any of the junks?—No.\n\n### \"SAW THE LIGHT\" \nThe next witness called was Lam Yung-sing, master of the second pair of junks which escaped. He said that he was 46 years old and was born at Shaukiwan.\n\nOn what date did you arrive at Chelong Lighthouse?—The evening of September 21.\n\nCould you see the lighthouse? Yes, we saw the light.\n\nNow, whilst you were fishing that morning did you notice anything unusual? I noticed after a little while a submarine was sailing behind our junk, coming up from the stern.\n\n### TRIED TO ESCAPE \nWhat direction were your bows pointing?—Facing south.\n\nAnd about what time did you notice that submarine under your stern?—8 a.m. or a little after.\n\nDid you notice where it went to after you first saw it? That submarine turned and fired at Lam Fuk-tal's pair.\n\nDid you see anything more of the submarine? We sailed away, but we noticed before sailing that this submarine turned and chased Lam Chu's and Lam Shu-po's junk and fired at them.\n\n## CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT \n\n### ONLY JAPANESE WOULD ATTACK \nNg Yit, 53, said he was a native of Shaukiwan and was in his junk with the rest of the fleet at the time of the shooting by a Japanese submarine.\n\nMr. Whyatt: Why do you say it was Japanese vessel?—Because the appearance of it was a submarine and only a Japanese submarine would attack Chinese.\n\n**The submarine fired at the junk paired with us and sank it with one shot. It then fired on us. It was twice the length of this court away when it fired on us. It was a bluish grey colour carrying two guns.**\n\n### KILLED OUTRIGHT \n\"The first shot had killed outright two women, Lam Wah-muf, 18, and Lam Yee-so, 27. There had been eight children on board their ages ranging from two to ten. While we were floating, the submarine came back and shot at the small boat with a machine gun,\" witness continued.\n\nWitness gave the following names of the nine killed on the small boat: Males.—Ng Pak-sau, 19, son; Ng Tai-so, 6, son; Ng Ah-ming, 6, grandson; Ng Ah-tun, 4, grandson; Females, Fan Kam-mui, 30, daughter-in-law, Ng Yuk-ho, 10, granddaughter; Ng Ah-yat, 7, daughter; Ng Ngan-mui, 2, granddaughter; Ng Ah-chol, 18, niece.\n\n### ONLY BY MEMORY \nChairman: What did you do with the bodies of those killed in the small boat?—We had to put them overboard since we had no coffins for them.\n\nWere they all killed outright? Yes.\n\nMr. Whyatt then called R. G. Butcher, Sub-Inspector of the Water Police, who said he was on duty on September 25.\n\nYou remember the `Scharnhorst` coming into Kowloon on that day?\n\nYes, about 8 a.m.\n\nAnd did you go on board? I did.\n\nAnd did the Chief Officer make a statement to you?—Yes.\n\nJust describe to me what he did in the Navigation Room, but not what he said. He worked out on a chart a position.\n\nYou remember what that position was?—Only by memory.\n\n### CAPTAIN'S LETTER \nAfter working on a position on the chart, what did he do next?—He took the position up to the Captain and returned with a letter and gave it to me a few minutes later.\n\nHave you got that letter?—Yes. The letter was then produced.",

        "content_text": "# HONG KONG, 25TH OCTOBER, 1937.\n\nSIR,\n\n1. By Proclamation No. 9 made under the Commissioners Powers Ordinance, 1886, dated the 7th day of October, 1937, and published in the Government Gazette of 8th October, we were appointed by Your Excellency's command \"to enquire into and to establish the facts in relation to the alleged sinking of certain fishing junks, the survivors of which were brought into Hong Kong on board the s.s. \"Scharnhorst\" and s.s. Kaying.\"\n\n2. On 14th October, notice was given, pursuant to section 3(3) of the Commissioners Powers Ordinance, 1886, that the examination of witnesses would be conducted by us in public at the Supreme Court on Monday, 18th October, at 10 a.m. This notice was published in the Government Gazette of 15th October and in the South China Morning Post of 15th October, the China Mail of 15th October, the Sunday Herald of 17th October, and the Tsun Wan Yat Po, the Wah Tsz Po, the Tai Kwong Po, the Kung Sheung Yat Po, the Wah Kiu Yat Po, the Chiu Po, the Nam Keung Yat Po, the Tung Fong Po, all of the 15th October.\n\n3. Mr. John Whyatt, Barrister-at-law, Assistant Attorney General, presented the witnesses to us and conducted the examination of each of them. No interested parties were represented, but the Consul of Portugal in Hong Kong attended and watched the proceedings on behalf of the Government of Macao.\n\n4. A shorthand note was taken of all the evidence given by the witnesses, and a transcript thereof accompanies this report.\n\n5. Admiralty Chart No. 1962, \"Hong Kong to the Brothers,\" covers all the area with which we are concerned. San Mei is approximately N.W. by W. of the Lighthouse and point to which we have throughout this report referred as Chelong. On the chart, they are transliterated as Tai Sami and Chilang respectively, following the Hoklo pronunciation.\n\n6. On 27th September at 3:40 a.m., the German ship \"Scharnhorst,\" while on a voyage from Kobe to Hong Kong, sighted what appeared to be a shipwrecked crew on a small raft. The master's report is in the following terms:\n\n**Norddeutscher Lloyd, Bremen.**\n\n**D. Scharnhorst Reise 9.**\n\nHong Kong, den 27th September, 1937.\n\n**Report over shipwrecked crew.**\n\nOn our way from Kobe to Hong Kong, we saw in the morning at 3:40 on the 27th September a shipwrecked crew, about true 205° 7 miles distance from Pedro Blanco Rock.\n\nAt 3:50 a.m. we lowered our boat and at the same time turned the ship and were searching for the float. We found the shipwrecked crew sitting on a small raft and picked up 9 Chinese males and 1 female.\n\n(Signed) W. STEIN,\nCaptain, \"Scharnhorst,\" Bremen.",

        "content_text": "# \n[1st witness Lam Chu.]\n\n5. An Official notification was also sent to the Portuguese Consul in view of the fact that certain of the survivors were inhabitants of the Portuguese Colony of Macao and a formal acknowledgment has been received. I am informed that the Portuguese Consul is here to-day but that he does not desire to take any active part in the proceedings.\n\n6. In addition, a formal notice pursuant to sec. 3(3) of the **Commissioners Powers Ordinance, 1886**, stating the time and place of hearing has been published in the **Government Gazette** and in the local press and copies of the notice have been sent to Messrs. Butterfield & Swire, who are the agents for the s.s. `Kaying`, and to Messrs. Melchers, who are the local agents for the Norddeutscher Lloyd, the owners of the s.s. `Scharnhorst`, but as far as I am aware there is no one present who desires to take any active part in this inquiry.\n\n7. The **Chairman**: If the Portuguese Consul would care to come to Counsels' Table where it will be easier to hear everything that transpires and have an opportunity of taking any notes he desires, the Commission will be very happy.\n\n8. The Portuguese Consul moves to Counsels' Table after thanking the Commissioners.\n\n9. **Chairman**: Mr. Whyatt, will you shortly outline the course which you propose to take with regard to the various witnesses who will have to appear before us?\n\n10. Mr. Whyatt: I have been asked to appear before the Commission during this inquiry for the purpose of assisting you as far as I am able, in the task which has been entrusted to you under your terms of reference by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government of the Colony of Hong Kong. It will be necessary in order that the true facts relating to the sinking of these fishing junks may be established that you should have before you witnesses who can give sworn evidence of the material circumstances and the object of my presence at this inquiry is to call before the Commission all the witnesses who are available whose evidence can be of assistance to the Commission in arriving at its conclusions. I desire to say that in calling this evidence I shall observe strictly the ordinary rules of evidence, and in no circumstances will any evidence be tendered or any questions be asked which would not be admissible in proceedings conducted in accordance with the practice which prevails in a British Court of Justice.\n\n11. I do not propose before calling the witnesses to make any comments or to outline in detail the evidence which they will give, because I think it is desirable in an inquiry of this kind that the material to be placed before the Commission for its consideration should be limited strictly to the oral testimony of the witnesses themselves. It will be sufficient, I think, for your purposes, if I indicate to you as briefly as possible the various classes of witnesses who will be called and the nature of the evidence they will give concerning the matters relevant to this inquiry.\n\n12. In the first place I shall call before you a number of eye-witnesses who were present on board the fishing junks that we are concerned with, who will describe to you the circumstances in which these vessels were sunk. Altogether ten fishing junks were sunk and although many lives were lost, there was fortunately a considerable number of survivors, and of these fourteen are at present in this Colony and will be called to give evidence. Their evidence will be supplemented to some extent by an officer from the British Steamship `Kaying` which picked up some of the survivors. Other survivors were picked up by the German liner `Scharnhorst` but as she has already sailed for Europe and will not call at the port of Hong Kong again until she returns to the Far East in two months' time, I regret to say it will not be possible to call witnesses from the `Scharnhorst` at this enquiry to tell you what they know concerning this matter.\n\n13. In addition to the evidence of eye-witnesses, I shall call medical evidence from the Queen Mary Hospital and the Kwong Wah Hospital. The witnesses from these hospitals will be doctors who attended to those survivors who required medical attention when they arrived in Hong Kong, and they will describe to you what they found when they examined these men after their admission to hospital. These witnesses, in addition to giving oral evidence, will produce as exhibits a splinter of metal and a copper bullet which have been removed from the bodies of two of the survivors and also an X-ray photograph which was taken before an operation was performed on one of these men.\n\n14. I shall also call evidence from the Royal Observatory at Hong Kong as to the weather conditions that prevailed on the relevant dates in the vicinity of the place where the junks were sunk. And lastly I shall call a naval officer who will give evidence as an expert on the question of the distinguishing marks which are carried by certain naval craft with which he is familiar.\n\n15. I think perhaps I have now said sufficient in this brief summary to indicate to you the nature of the evidence I intend to put before you and with your leave I will now proceed to call the witnesses.\n\n16. First Witness. Lam Chu, duly declared, states:—\n\n17. Mr. Whyatt to **Chairman**: Will it be convenient for the members of the Commission to have copies of the Admiralty chart?\n\n18. **Chairman**: I think it will be very material, if we may have them now.\n\n19. Copies of Admiralty chart No. `1962`, Hong Kong to the Brothers, handed in.\n\n20. Mr. Whyatt to witness:\n\n21. Your name is Lam Chu? I am Lam Chu.\n\n22. How old are you? I am 42 years old.\n\n23. Where were you born? I was born at Yaumati.\n\n24. What have you done all your life for a living? I have been travelling aboard a fishing junk for all my life.\n\n25. In September of this year were you the owner of a fishing junk? Yes.\n\n26. What was the number of that junk? No. 36.\n\n27. Where was it licensed? Licensed both at Cheung Chau and Shaukiwan.\n\n28. How long had you owned that junk? Several years.\n\n29. Can you give us some idea of its value? Worth about $9,000.\n\n30. You remember sailing in your fishing junk for the purpose of going on a fishing expedition in September this year? Yes.\n\n31. Where did you sail from? From Shaukiwan.\n\n32. Can you give me the date? On the 17th September, 1937.\n\n33. Did you sail alone or were you accompanied by any junks? By other fishing junks.\n\n34. Can you tell me the name of the master of one of the fishing junks that sailed with you? Fung Kam-shing.\n\n35. Have you got a brother who owns a fishing junk? Lam Shu-po, my brother, also owned a fishing junk.\n\n36. Did he sail with you from Shaukiwan on 17th September? Yes, he went with my junk at the same time.\n\n37. Where did you sail to from Shaukiwan? To somewhere near San Mei.\n\n38. **Chairman** to Mr. Whyatt: Does he mean his brother was in his junk or on his own junk?\n\n39. Mr. Whyatt: I will try to clear up that point, Sir.\n\n40. To witness: You told us that Lam Shu-po owns a junk? Yes.\n\n41. You told us that when you sailed from Shaukiwan on your junk on 17th September your brother also sailed from Shaukiwan? Yes, he went in his own junk and we both went from Shaukiwan. We worked together when we caught fish.\n\n42. You have got to San Mei. Do you remember where you went to from San Mei?\n\n43. We went from Sha Mun (Samun) to San Mei.\n\n44. After you got to San Mei where did you sail to?\n\n45. Is there a lighthouse at Chelong? Yes.\n\nTo Chelong.\n\nPage 200\nPage 180\nPage 181",

        "content_text": "# \n[12th witness Ng Ying-kit.] \n\n[13th witness Robert George Butcher.] \n\n38 \n\n996. And what happened to the rest of you who were still alive on this sail and in the sampan? \nWe were afloat, and were at last picked up by a fishing junk from San Mei.\n\n997. How long was that after the sinking of your junk? \n2 days.\n\n998. What did you do with the bodies of those people who had been killed? \nWe threw them overboard because we had nothing to convey them in - we had no coffins.\n\n999. Chairman: Were all those people killed outright? \nYes.\n\n1000. Mr. Whyatt: Where did the fishing junk from San Mei take you to? \nTo San Mei.\n\n1001. How long did you remain at San Mei? \n20 days in San Mei.\n\n1002. Then where did you go? \nOnly two of us came to Shaukiwan and we arrived here on 13th October.\n\n1003. Who accompanied you? \nMy wife and I only came here on 13th October. We came by boat.\n\n1004. Why did you bring your wife to Shaukiwan? \nFor treatment in a hospital because she was wounded by a bullet from a machine gun.\n\n1005. Did your wife go to hospital the same day? \nYes, and at the same time we made a report to the police in Hong Kong.\n\n1006. Did your junk carry any cannon? \nYes, 3 cannon.\n\n1007. Whereabouts were they? \nThey were kept inside, down in the hold.\n\n1008. Did you use them at all during this attack? \nNo, we did not use them.\n\n1009. How long is it since you last used them? \nI last used them several years ago.\n\n1010. What was that for? \nIt was when we first bought these cannon - we were experimenting and seeing if they were of use at all.\n\n1011. Were they of any use? \nYes, they were of some use.\n\n1012. How far would they fire? \nNot very far, only about three times the length of this court.\n\n1013. What is it that you fire out of these cannon? \nWe stuffed the cannon with rags and old clothing.\n\n1014. Chairman: You put in black powder first? \nYes.\n\n1015. Then a little wadding of rags? \nWe put nothing else other than that, stopping the powder from dropping out, and then we fired.\n\n1016. Mr. Whyatt: Did you load them from the muzzle? \nYes.\n\n1017. Chairman: Had you any rifle on board? \nNo.\n\n1018. No arms at all except the three cannon you have told us about? \nNo other arms than the three cannon.\n\n(Witness left the witness box).\n\n1019. Mr. Whyatt to Chairman: That concludes the evidence of the Chinese witnesses, sir, who are available. I have statements from other Chinese witnesses who were aboard these junks but unfortunately they are not available. Some of them have gone out fishing since these events occurred and they may be back in a day or two; one cannot say. I shall ask leave to call them to give evidence if they return in time.\n\n1020. Chairman: It will not be possible for this Commission to sit tomorrow in view of the meeting of the Legislative Council, so that you will have until at least Thursday morning to find any missing witnesses.\n\n1021. Mr. Whyatt: The police are making every effort to find these witnesses and I hope they will be successful.\n\n## \n1022. Thirteenth Witness. Robert George Butcher, duly sworn, states:-\n\n1023. Mr. Whyatt: You are Sub-Inspector Robert George Butcher of the Hong Kong Water Police? \nYes.\n\n1024. And on the 27th September were you in charge of No. 5 Police Launch? \nYes.\n\n1025. Do you remember the \"Scharnhorst\" coming into Kowloon Bay on that date? \nYes.\n\n1026. Do you remember the time she came in? \nAbout 8 a.m.\n\n1027. Did you give any instructions to anyone on board your police launch with reference to the \"Scharnhorst\"? \nI was engaged with the passport officer at the time alongside the ship.\n\n1028. And then what was the next thing that happened? \nI was called on board by that officer.\n\n1029. Did you go on board? \nI did.\n\n1030. Did he make a statement to you? \nYes.\n\n1031. Did you make a request of him? \nYes.\n\n1032. And as a result of that request did he conduct you somewhere? \nYes.\n\n1033. Where did he conduct you to? \nThe navigation room.\n\n1034. Just describe to me what he did there, not what he said. \nHe worked out a position on a chart.\n\n1035. Do you remember what that position was? \nOnly by referring to the letter.\n\n1036. After working out a position on the chart, what did he do next? \nHe took the position up to the captain and returned with a letter; a few minutes later he gave it to me.\n\n1037. Have you got that letter? \n(Letter handed to Commission).\n\n1038. Chairman: I have come to the conclusion that on the whole this letter should be read at this stage and I shall do so now: \n\"Norddeutscher Lloyd, Bremen. D. Scharnhorst Reise 9. Report over shipwrecked crew. Hong Kong, den 27th September, 1937. On our way from Kobe to Hong Kong, we saw in the morning 3.40 the shipwrecked crew, about true 205° 7 miles distance from \"Pedro Blanco Rock\".

What did you do with them? \nI put them on board the police launch and took them to the Water Police Station and handed them over to the Inspector on duty.\n\n(Witness left the witness box).\n\n1043. Fourteenth Witness. Ernest Harold Histed, duly sworn, states:-\n\n1044. Mr. Whyatt: Captain Histed, you live at 34 Kimberley Road, Hong Kong? \nYes.\n\n1045. And are you the master of the s.s. Kaying? \nYes.\n\n1046. Is she a British vessel? \nYes.\n\n1047. Who are her owners? \nChina Navigation Company.\n\n1048. Who are her local agents? \nButterfield & Swire.\n\n1049. On the 27th September were you on board your ship? \nI think you have the wrong date.\n\n236 \n237",

Blacklock.\n\nEncloses copy of letter sent to Chant instructing him from Paris 3-11-38.\n\nDr. Reiss' friends have been rather troublesome, and if they had only carried out the usual procedure for obtaining visas, etc., instead of trying to short-circuit them through this office, it would have been a good deal more rapid, and much easier for them.\n\nI should perhaps explain that Mr. Blacklock called at this office some time ago and I explained to him the procedure for obtaining visas, etc. for Hong Kong and the necessary regulations for the practice of medicine in that Colony. It is perhaps a little unfortunate that he should have chosen to write to me personally.\n\nThe letter does not, I think, call for a reply.\n\nP. Rogers\n\n8.11.38.",

Addressed to Tokyo Telegram No.32 of the 20th March repeated to Secretary of State for the Colonies telegram No.72. Your telegram No.44.\n\nA. Master of Junk number T. 4225 H. states that the Japanese themselves anchored junks at about 1 p.m.\n\nB. No. Small sampan could not have approached large junk owing to fierceness of flames, Sampan could not have towed such a junk from position alleged by Japanese for three miles against wind and tide.\n\nC. and D. This cannot be determined but junks would have certainly drifted towards Chinese waters away from British waters. A position one mile west from that given in paragraph 12 would be amongst the rocks round Tung Ku where no craft would normally be.\n\nReference your telegram to Foreign Office No.312 repeated to Hong Kong No.43. Masters of all junks denied that they had arms on board except the master of T 4225 H who carried arms under license but denies using them. Junks T 707 and HO were not licensed to carry arms. No record as to whether or not 537 H.O carried arms as license was burnt. There is no doubt that it was loaded with vegetables. No arms were found by the Police on junks except one musket brought ashore from T.42 25 H. Police state that there were no signs of petrol or petrol tins having been carried on board any of the junks. Masters of two junks admitted that they were carrying small quantity of kerosine for their own lighting purposes.\n\nFull report and chart(s) follow by safe opportunity.",

        "content_text": "# International Situation\n## HOUSE OF COMMONS\n\n[Mr. Ede.]\n\nto everyone else concerned with the business of air raid precautions. As far as the relationships of Government Departments with local authorities depend upon the personality of Ministers in charge of the services, I believe that the hon. Gentleman has built up an amount of good will and belief in his own desire to see the work well done that would have stood the Government in good stead. While it is not for me to assist the Prime Minister in the difficult task of shuffling the pack from time to time, I should have welcomed the hon. Gentleman being given some greater responsibility in the work which he has hitherto had. I hope, for the sake of continuity, that he will not be entirely withdrawn from that work. He has managed to build up relations that are of the very highest value to local authorities and, I imagine, to the Government.\n\nThe Government failed to realise the truth that was so clearly expressed by Milton when he said:\n\n\"The fidelity of enemies and allies is frail and perishing unless it be cemented by the principles of justice.\"\n\nNo one pretends that what has happened during the past month has been in any way connected with justice. My right hon. Friend the Leader of the Opposition rightly said that there was no triumph for law and order in dealing with this matter at Munich, or for justice. Does anyone pretend that the wretched people who have been lying between the frontiers of Poland and Germany believe that there has been any consideration of justice for them in the talks of statesmen? We have seen the triumph of the threat of force, so complete that the German rulers now do not believe that they will ever have to use force to get what they want. I share the view that was pressed by my hon. and learned Friend the Member for East Bristol (Sir S. Cripps) in the \"Tribune\" for the current week, and in no circumstances would I be a party to handing over one additional person to the terrors of Nazi rule. I believe that this country still has the duty, clearly put forward by the poet to whom I have just referred, of seeing that the oppressed and the persecuted in all quarters of the world have a friend and supporter in this country. To suggest that we ought to hand over in any part of the world even one additional person to the terrors of that rule, with its denial of the rights of knowledge, of utterance and of argument, is to suggest complete desertion of everything for which the British people have ever stood.\n\nWe are in our present plight because the Government ran away from their own election pledges. In the speech of the Prime Minister this afternoon not a word was said about the League of Nations. I see that the French Radical Socialists have decided that it is dead; I should have thought that so soon after that proclamation of its death, the Prime Minister might have provided a wreath, but there was not a single mention of the League of Nations. In the Government election pledge they said:\n\n\"The League of Nations will remain, as heretofore, the keystone of British foreign policy. We shall, therefore, continue to do all in our power to uphold the Covenant and to maintain and increase the efficiency of the League. Our attitude to the League is dictated by the conviction that collective security by collective action can alone save us from a return to the old system which resulted in the Great War.\"\n\nIt is not as though the Government have sinned in ignorance. Having so clearly proclaimed what was the only possible policy for this country, they have deliberately turned their back upon it and have spent three years in deserting the principles which they have placed before the electors. To-morrow we are to be faced with another of the surrenders which have made the history of the past three years the most lamentable and deplorable in the whole history of the British people. There is nothing to compare with it, except the few years of the personal reign of King George III, and, after all, he only lost things that belonged to this nation. We have sheltered ourselves by giving away the liberty, the integrity and the hopes of democracies other than our own.\n\nI sincerely hope that the time is not far distant when this Government, proclaimed this morning by the \"Times\" as not too strong, will be replaced by a Government that will enable this country to return to the principles on which the Government secured their election. My hon. Friends and myself on this side of this House had great difficulty at the last election in persuading people that we really stood for the League of Nations. I was questioned many times as to whether I could stand for the League of Nations when the Government had proclaimed their faith in it. I suggested then that the proclamation of the Government's faith was a great deal louder than the support which they would give to the League once they had secured election, and I turned out to be a true prophet. We have to get back to the belief that this country, as the leading democracy in the world, owes to the world leadership in the paths of peace, even at the cost of sacrifice, to maintain law and order. Wherever I go in the country I find increasing realisation of the extent to which our prestige has been lowered and our opportunity for good destroyed by the actions which had, not their last but merely their latest, exemplification in the terrible surrender at Munich.\n\nYet, as was so rightly said by the hon. Member for East Aberdeen, the Prime Minister was in a position in which he ought never to have been placed. The pilots who bring vessels into the Tyne live in my constituency, and a story is told about one of them in the early days of the War. He was asked by a wealthy American to bring a yacht into the Tyne, but when the American saw the somewhat rough and rude-looking man who came on board he was rather perturbed at trusting the vessel to him. The American took him down into the chart room and conducted an examination regarding all the reefs and shoals that make the navigation of the mouth of the Tyne difficult. He asked the old pilot whether he knew, one after the other, where they were, and on each occasion the man said \"No.\" Greatly alarmed, the yacht owner turned to him and said: \"What do you know?\" \"Well,\" said the pilot, \"I know where the deep water is, and that's where I want to be.\" The Government know where the deep water is and they have known it all these last three years after their election address, and that is where they have consistently refused to be. The condemnation of them is not that they erred because forces were too great for them, but because, knowing the right, they deliberately chose the wrong.\n\n8.15 p.m.\n\nBrigadier-General Spears: I should like at once to say how much there was in the speech of the hon. Member for South Shields (Mr. Ede) with which I agreed, but on no point did I agree with him more than when he said that he would refuse to hand over a single British subject to Nazi rule.\n\nMr. Ede: I said that I would not be a party to handing over any human being in the world to Nazi rule.\n\n## International Situation\n### 1 NOVEMBER 1938\n\nBrigadier-General Spears: It may be that there are other people whom it would not be in our power to save from being handed over to Nazi rule, but it certainly is within our power to prevent the handing over of British subjects to Nazi rule, and I think that that might well be taken as one of our standards, something on which we could make a stand such as was demanded by the hon. Member. After all, we shall have to make a stand somewhere. It seems to me that, if we give away this and give away that, each time leaving ourselves a little weaker, we may at last find ourselves with nothing to give away but our own liberty. It seems to me that we can make a stand on that point, and that it is a stand to which the whole British Empire would respond.\n\nThere are one or two points that were taken up by the Prime Minister in his speech to which I should like to refer. He spoke of the census upon which had been based the partition of Czechoslovakia. The Leader of the Opposition, in his speech, had complained of the fact that the census upon which this partition has been based was that of 1910. On that point I am entirely at one with the Leader of the Opposition. I can see no justification whatsoever for having given way to the Germans on that point, and it is an extremely important point, because the wretched country of Czechoslovakia has been torn to pieces on the basis of this 1910 census. I think it has already been mentioned in this Debate that in the 1910 census, when those lands were under Austria, the basis was what was called the language of intercourse, that is to say, the common language spoken by people when communicating with one another. But in the house of an Austrian official the Czech servants would be counted as Germans, because they spoke German as the language of intercourse, and, of course, the Austrian officials were counted as Germans. Moreover, the Jews were counted as Germans in 1910, and are so counted by the Germans to-day, though we know what they do with them once they have served their purpose.",

With reference to your instructions to take the bearings of a reported Japanese outrage on Fishing Junk No.2323 H.D. in Deep Bay early on 25th October, 1939, I proceeded to Deep Bay where I met the complainant PANG FUT (1) with Police Sergeant A.200 Davies and Officer in Charge No.11 Motor Boat at about 17.30 hours on 25th October, 1939.\n\n2. No.4 Launch was unable to approach the spot pointed out by complainant PANG FUT owing to insufficient depth of water. Bearings were therefore taken of the position of launch as follows:-\n| Reference Point | Bearing |\n| --- | --- |\n| South West Point | N. 85 W. |\n| Tong Ku Light | N. 3.30 W. |\n\nThis made position of launch 1¾ miles S. 20 E. of Tse Hau (十七), Chinese territory. Position of complainant's junk at time of outrage was then pointed out to be approximately half way between the launch and Mong Tseng (輞井) Point and by taking a bearing of Mong Tseng Point which was N. 65 E. 4 miles distant, I judged the position of the attack to be approximately 2 miles N. 65 E. from the launch which would be approximately 1¾ miles N. 42 W. of Sha Kong Miu (沙崗廟), British territory.\n\n3. As No.4 was unable to get to Castle Peak Police Sergeant A.200 Davies, Criminal Intelligence Department, Tsimshatsui, inspected the junk for bullet holes, etc. By reference to Admiralty Chart `3681` the position of the attack given was approximately \n| Latitude | Longitude |\n| --- | --- |\n| 22° 28' 45\" N. | 113° 58' 03\" E. |",

It began in 1896 with the Modern History, of which the twelfth and last volume appeared in 1910.\n\nMedieval History was delayed by the Great War and other untoward events, and the eighth and final volume did not appear until 1936. Now it is announced that, after sixteen years' steady work upon it, the twelfth and final volume of the Ancient History has been published.\n\nFor the first time the continuous narrative of the entire body of knowledge in all countries, from the dawn of history to the year 1910, is available. Lord Acton, the Regius Professor of History at Cambridge, initiated the scheme for the Histories in 1896. He planned a European epic, to be reared by an international band of scholars. \"Our Waterloo\", he said, \"must be one which satisfies French and English, German and Dutch alike\"; and in the Cambridge Histories the international character of the contributions has been steadily maintained.\n\nIn the last volume of the Ancient History, which has just made its appearance, twelve of the twenty chapters are written by foreign contributors, and six of the twelve are written by Germans.\n\nLord Acton sought to provide \"an illumination of the soul\" and a \"chart and compass for the coming century\". Whether mankind will be wise enough to use the chart and compass which has been provided, or ignore these lessons and plunge into catastrophe, we may learn from events in the immediate future.",

I had a cargo of 38 piculs of melons valued $100.00 and 70 ducks valued $100.00. Total value $200.00 on board. There was a crew of three on board. (Tai Ping Village not shown on chart).\n\nAt about 02.00 hours on 6.8.40 when sailing about half a mile off TA SHAN Custom Station (Long. 115° 25′ 30″ E Lat 23° 11' 45\" N.) a small warship painted grey, one funnel, flying the Japanese flag and No.18 painted amidship, came out from TAI SHAN Custom Station. Without warning, several shots from a machine gun were fired by the crew of the warship at my junk. The warship was then about 300 yards away. My crew and I jumped into the sea and held on to the sides of the junk, as far as I know none of the shots hit the junk. The warship came alongside my junk. One of the Japanese crew called out to us in the Punti dialect \"Don't be afraid, go back on board your junk.\" We climbed on board the junk and the warship towed my junk to TAI SHAN Custom Station.\n\nOn the instructions of the Japanese sailors, we placed the crates containing the ducks on board the warship. We were then ordered to sail to the beach and unload the melons onto the foreshore. We did so. On the foreshore, the Japanese searched my person and took away my boat licence. They then instructed us not to sail to Hong Kong, but to proceed to Chinese Territory. We set sail for TAI PING, and arrived there at 16.00 hours on the same date (6.8.40).\n\nOn 21.8.40 I set sail for Hong Kong, arriving in the Colony on 22.8.40.\n\n25.8.40.\n\nsd. J.

The Japanese then said \"Do not take any cargo to Hong Kong or else they (Japanese) would cut off our heads\". We were ordered to dump our cargo and then told we could sail away. My junk licence was also dumped overboard. I sailed my junk back to TAI PING arriving at 18.00 hours on 19.8.40.

Bearings were therefore taken of the position of launch as follows:\n\nSouth West Point N. 85 E.\n\nTong Ku Light S. 30 E.\n\nThis made position of launch 14 miles S.20 E. of Tse Hau (), Chinese territory.\n\nPosition of complainant's junk at time of outrage was then pointed out to be approximately half way between the launch and Mong Tseng () Point and by taking a bearing of Mong Tseng Point which was N.65 E., 4 miles distant, I judged the position of the attack to be approximately 2 miles N.65 E. from the launch which would be approximately 1½ miles N.48 E. of Sha Kong Kiu (), British territory.\n\n3. As No.4 was unable to get to Castle Peak, Police Sergeant A.200 Davies, Criminal Intelligence Department, Tsimshatsui, inspected the junk for bullet holes, etc.\n\nBy reference to Admiralty Chart 3681 the position of the attack given was approximately\n\nLat. 22° 28' 45\" N.\n\nLong. 113° 58' 03\" E.\n\n(sgd) G.A. HUDSON\n\nPolice Sergeant A.38\n\nOfficer in Charge No.4 Launch",

        "content_text": "29\n\nP.8.A.185 J.F. GALVIN, states :-\n\nI am O.C. TAI O station. At 14.45 hours on 12.9.41 I saw from my verandah a motor boat, going at a very fast speed approaching PO TE TAM, from a south-westerly direction. As it came closer I saw that it was a decked-over motor boat flying the Japanese Naval ensign. My own motor boat was alongside at the time, so I decided to put off immediately. When going down to my own boat I noticed that the Japanese boat was about half a mile off Bluff Point. As soon as I was clear of the Pier and in view of the other boat, it immediately put about and headed south. I followed for about a mile and then the other boat turned south. I kept a parallel course for about half a mile at a distance of about 2 miles. She then turned north and I also went about. Then I was due west of the station, the Japanese boat was well ahead of me and going north, so I decided to come in and report. I reported to the O.C.P.X. at about 15.15 hours.\n\nWhen finishing my report I was called by some Indians outside and on rushing out I saw that the Japanese boat had taken in tow a two-masted junk. Then I saw the motor boat and the junk; they appeared to be between YIN PAI ROCK and TAI O Point. In fact, they must have been on the Tai O side of a line drawn between these two points because they passed outside the rock and then altered course to west. I again reported to O.C.P.X. and received certain instructions from him.\n\nThe rock mentioned is known to Chinese as the YIN PAI ROCK. According to chart No.1180 \"Approaches to HONG KONG\", this rock is about 1 nautical mile from Tai O station and about 3/5 of a nautical mile from TAI O POINT, 2/5 nautical miles inside territorial waters. I kept the Motor Boat and junk under observation until shortly after 17.00 hours. Both were headed for UMANO until I lost sight of them. Between 15.45 and 16.45 they passed in close proximity to a Japanese trawler and two motor junks (presumably Japanese) which did not interfere with them. Up to date I have been unable to trace the junk or its occupants etc. It seems probable that the junk was on its way into Tai O, but I have been unable to find anyone who took any particular notice of it until this incident took place. I have pointed out to O.C. No.3 Launch P.8.A.48 MAX the place where the junk was taken in tow, and he says that if I am showing him the correct spot, it is well inside territorial waters.\n\n(sd.) J.F. Galvin, P.8.A.185.\n\n12.9.41.\n\nI am Coxswain on Bossi No.H.D.15 Launch.\n\nCOXSWAIN HO MOK FAT states:-- I am attached to Tai O Police Station.\n\nAt about 14.45 hours I was lying off the Police Pier when the O.C. signalled me to come alongside. He then came down and boarded. On clearing the Pier I saw a large Motor Boat just turning around about a mile off TAI O POINT (also known as BLUFF POINT in some parts of the document, but here it is referred to as TAI O POINT or simply as being near YIN PAI ROCK). It went west first and O.C. instructed me to follow. It was a very fast boat. When we had followed for about a mile, the motor boat turned south; the O.C. told me to turn south also. After about five minutes the other boat swung around and headed north. We again followed. At this time the boat was about 2 miles away. When we got opposite Tai O, the O.C. told me to go back to the Pier. When the O.C. went up to the telephone, I remained on the verandah outside the Charge Room. The Japanese stopped on the sea side of the YIN PAI ROCK. There was a two-masted junk going out between the rock and point. As the junk approached the rock, the Japanese motor boat came in to meet it. The motor boat did not go alongside the junk but went about and sailed... \n\nPage 30\nPage 31",

At about 18.00 hours, I left **饒平** TSCHICH village, YIU FING (not shown on chart) and bound for Hong Kong.\n\nIncluding myself, I had a crew of twelve, and 17 passengers on board. My cargo consisted of 200 baskets of earthen ware valued $2,000.00, 77 bales of Chinese medicine valued $4,000.00, 300 bales of brown paper valued $600.00, a quantity of pumpkins and turnips valued $30.00 and 30 piculs of charcoal valued $150.00.

When about 100 yards away, rifle shots were fired at my junk and I lowered my anchor.\n\nThe Japanese ordered me to go alongside the warship, which I did. About 20 Japanese sailors dressed in Khaki boarded my junk and searched it. They searched my person and stole $100.00 in Chinese currency. They instructed us to throw the cargo overboard, which we did. After cutting the mast, ropes and throwing one of the sails overboard, the Japanese sailors returned to the warship and sailed away.\n\nAt about 11.30 hours, I hailed a passing fishing junk owned by a Chinese male named **李平** LI PING and was towed to **澳門** MACAO, arriving there at 10.00 hours on the 8-11-40.\n\n| Loss | Value |\n| --- | --- |\n| Cash stolen from person | $100.00 Chinese |\n| Value of cargo | $6,780.00 |\n| Total Value | $6,880.00 |\n\nHong Kong $150.00.  \n* $24.00.  \n81778.-02.  \nHong Kong in 60.  \n(`XCR(40)133`) J.

I saw a Japanese warship, painted grey, two masts and one funnel coming from the direction of LIN TIN.\n\nA searchlight was shone on our junk and I heard 3 or 4 shots fired.\n\nI then heard shouts in pidgin dialect \"What boat are you\".\n\nI replied \"Cargo boat\".\n\nWe were then ordered to lower our sail and sail alongside the warship. We lowered the sail and rowed alongside the warship. Twelve Japanese dressed in Khaki uniform and armed with batons came on board our junk. One of them had a chopper and started to cut down the sails. The Japanese then ordered us to jettison all our cargo overboard.\n\nThe cargo was thrown into the water by fakons including the crew. The junk was not damaged by the Japanese. We were then told to row our boat away.\n\nOur junk had not been damaged but all the cargo had been thrown into the water.\n\nOur junk drifted until 09.10 hours on the 9-11-40 when the S.S. TAI ON enroute from Macau to Hong Kong took us on board and our junk was left drifting (Lat. 22° 12' N. Long. 113° 41' E. approximately 10 miles east of Macau).\n\nWe were taken to Hong Kong and handed over to the police.",

On board, I had a crew of 17, 15 passengers, and 9 cargo-watchers. My cargo consisted of 150 piculs preserved vegetables valued $1,500.00, 184 cases tea valued $7,360.00, 200 logs valued $200.00, 28 piculs rough paper valued $600.00, 610 piculs earthenware valued $900.00, 13 bags Chinese herbs valued $130.00.

It was painted grey, one funnel, the No.32 painted amidship, and flying a Japanese naval flag at the stern. The trawler came alongside my junk and threw a rope to us. The Japanese, about 20 in all and dressed in khaki uniforms, remained on the trawler. They made signs to us to tie the rope, and some of my folks tied the rope to the bow of my junk. The trawler started to tow my junk towards the south. The tow rope broke several times, but each time the rope was repaired. About 19.00 hours, we arrived at IKMA ISLAND (Long. 114 degrees 19'10\" E., Lat. 22 degrees 4'X.). The trawler came alongside my junk, and all of us were made to transfer the cargo to the trawler. Part of the cargo was transferred by 22.00 hours. I wrote characters on a piece of paper asking the Japanese to tow my junk to Hong Kong. They refused. The trawler sailed away, and then I set sail for Hong Kong. My junk arrived at Connaught Road Next ...",

When a few yards away they shouted to us to stop and then came alongside. 7 or 8 Japanese sailors dressed in khaki uniforms and armed with batons then boarded my junk. The crew and passengers were all ordered to the stern of the junk. One of the Japanese sailors spoke to us in Hokkien and asked if we had fresh eggs and I answered \"No.\" They then searched the cargo and on finding the added eggs they assaulted me. After this they ordered the passengers and folk to remove some of the cargo onto the motor boat, and some to dump in the sea.

        "content_text": "It seems to me that in principle the Secretary of State can approve the recommendations submitted to him, even though the picture may be altered if the Colony is involved in war with Japan in the next few weeks or months.\n\nThere will obviously be difficulty in present circumstances in finding a suitably qualified chairman to go out to Hong Kong to undertake the task of forming and subsequently presiding over the Port Trust. I should say that it will be essential to bring in a man from outside Hong Kong to fill that position. I would, therefore, suggest that copies of the report and of No.7 be sent to the Ministry of War Transport and the Admiralty and to the Crown Agents, saying that the Secretary of State proposes to approve the Governor's recommendations, subject to their observations.\n\nIn the meantime, No.8 has been received and asks for permission to publish in a technical journal here the report or any part of it, together with the map attached to it. The report has been published as a sessional paper in Hong Kong, but in that form, no map was attached to it, and there may obviously be objections by the Admiralty or War Office on security grounds on that point. Many of the recommendations are, however, meaningless without the attached chart, as the Editor of the journal points out. We had better send a short telegram to Hong Kong to ascertain whether the chart in full detail has in fact been published in Hong Kong, and in the meantime, send Mr. Cunningham an interim reply.\n\n3.12.41.\n\n1 Sir C. Parkinson.\n\nI could have wished that this case had not come up at this particular juncture. I feel great hesitation, at a moment when Hong Kong may be on the eve of tremendous events, in inviting a Service Department such as the Admiralty to consider proposals about future harbour administration, and particularly proposals that involve all sorts of details as to the constitution of the Harbour Board, the number of members required to constitute a quorum, and all the rest of it. The Admiralty may be disposed to wonder whether we ever read the newspapers or have any conception of the military situation in the Far East. However, this is a matter of long-term policy, and there seems no good reason why we should not proceed with the next step, in spite of the uncertainty of the situation. At any rate, no harm will be done.\n\nAs proposed by Mr. Gent.\n\nFirst dispose of No.8 as proposed & circulate.\n\n4.12.41.",

Perhaps you could try your hand at something which might be appropriate.

        "content_text": "# 30\n\n**Honourable Director of Medical Services,**\n\nFollowing is an account of my recent trip with lepers to Chinese territory.\n\n### Tuesday, April 8th\n\nArrived at Kennedy Town Leper Hospital with Mr. Curtis and Dr. Sporer, at 8 a.m. Instructed the lepers to start packing up. Had some trouble as lepers refused to leave unless their possessions were redeemed from various pawnshops. This was done. Lepers and cargo were loaded and junks sailed under tow at 12.30 p.m.\n\nJourneyed to Tai O via Lamma Channel and arrived at 9.30 p.m. Comprador failed me and no food was available for lepers. Issued emergency rations. Lepers all suffered from seasickness. Junks were badly fouled and had to be cleaned.\n\n### Wednesday, April 9th\n\nLeft Tai O at 12.30 a.m. and set a course for Coloane Light. Kept hour watches. Light and variable winds. Arrived off Kau Lan Island at 6.15 p.m. Proceeded through pass into Chek Kai Bay. At 7.30 p.m. a Japanese patrol boat caught up with us and opened fire with machine guns without challenging. Over 500 shots were fired, some 200 landing in our junk. There were no casualties. After some time we managed to signal to the Japanese with a torch whereupon they came in close. When they boarded us, Curtis was hit over the head with a rifle butt, but was not badly hurt. We were carefully searched and were made to board their launch. We proceeded to the other junks and satisfied the Japanese that they contained nothing but lepers. The Japanese then apologised and left us. The crew of our junk were beaten and robbed of all their money, some $50. We lost nothing. Anchored for the night.\n\n### Thursday, April 10th\n\nHoisted anchor at 5.30 a.m. Bad storm and heavy rain drove us off our course and we again anchored at 10.15 a.m. having lost the tide. At 11 a.m. 20 sampans, each containing 10 men, approached us and opened fire. All three junks sustained many hits but fortunately there were no casualties. We were boarded and found that the men were pirates. Our junk was made to hoist sail and we proceeded inshore. The fact that we were foreigners and were in possession of credentials given by high Chinese military officials apparently prevented them from molesting us. The chief pirate finally boarded us and was most courteous. Apart from fouling our junk and eating most of our food, we were not bothered. They finally left us at 4.30 p.m. and we proceeded up the bay. We found our chart not accurate and missed the channel and ran fast aground at 8.30 p.m.\n\n### Friday, April 11th\n\nFloated off sandbar at 11 a.m. and sailed upriver arriving at Kau Pui Shek at dark. Could not proceed further because of minefield. Dr. Sporer went in a sampan some two miles away and engaged a pilot from a fishing junk to take us up river.\n\nI",

The recommendations contained in the report of the Organisation and Methods Adviser on Secretariat Organisation are now under consideration. As a first step revised nomenclature on the lines proposed by Mr. Ross will be introduced forthwith. The basis of these changes is that the old designation of Assistant Colonial Secretary is to be abolished and that with certain exceptions, administrative officers will now be known as Assistant Secretaries. Each Assistant Secretary will have a distinguishing number, the sole purpose of which is to indicate the group of subjects for which that officer is responsible.\n\n4. A chart showing the revised organisation of the Secretariat and the new titles of Assistant Secretaries is attached for information. The subject groups for A.S. 1 and 2 shown on this chart are those recommended by Mr. Ross. They do not correspond with the present duties of these officers, but when a re-allocation of duties is possible, it is intended that Mr. Ross' recommendations in this respect should be fully implemented.\n\n5. Secretariat Office Instruction No. 22 of 3rd June is cancelled.\n\nBy Command,\n**J.F. NICOLL, Colonial Secretary**\n\nTo:\nHeads of Departments.",

Although we are unable to trace the precise Foreign Office reference quoted in your third paragraph, we have in our files a memorandum by Fitzmaurice dated 17th September, 1937, which explains the Convention of 1898 in the words you have quoted. We agreed with this explanation at that time and it is still satisfactory to us.\n\n2.\n\nIt will, I think, be convenient for you to refer to a letter from Jarrett to Ronald and Howard of the 21st June, 1938, (M.03598/38) which not only confirmed the Admiralty's agreement with Fitzmaurice's memorandum but also refers to the \"Master\" chart of Hong Kong territorial limits agreed between the Foreign Office, Colonial Office, and Admiralty. A copy of that chart was sent to the Colonial Office and will, I think, give you the information you require. (I am afraid we have not got a spare copy of the chart now and it would take some time to have one prepared).\n\n3.\n\nBriefly to sum up our view of the matter, H.M.G. possesses territorial rights in all waters adjacent to the colony and exercises those rights up to the normal 3-mile limit.\n\n4.\n\nThere is nothing new in this. Whether it is desirable publicly to clarify the position (which might have been done in 1937 but for the special considerations which then prevailed) is, we think, a matter for the Hong Kong Government. Other things being equal, we see advantage from the Naval point of view in publishing a statement in appropriate form to put the matter beyond doubt. The important thing is, of course, that the Hong Kong Government should be clear in their own minds.\n\nI am sending a copy of this letter to Coates.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\nC. H. Cardo-\n\nPage 10\n\nR.E. Radford, Esq.,\n\nColonial Office,\n\nChurch House,\n\nGt. Smith Street, S.W.1.\n\nSECRET\n\nPage 11\n\n9 DEC 1949 REGISTRY\n\nPage 10\n\nPage 11",

I have no experience of any magnetic \nphenomena which would affect the compass. Chilang \nPoint Light was not functioning. I also attached \ngreat importance to Chilang Point Light. FI OL \nleaving the Ninepins, the visibility improved, and \nat no time did I estimate it at under 3 miles, but \nI believed there was low cloud over the land. \nOccasional rain showers were logged, but I saw none. \n\nThe last position obtained was about 9:30 P.M. on \nthe 18th July, being a cross bearing of Waglan and \none of the Ninepins. \n\nThe D.F. gear was never used. \n\nI saw the rocks of Reef Islands about 2 \ncables off. From sighting the rocks to taking \nevasive action, the time elapsed would be about 15 \nseconds. \n\nAt the time of the stranding, the engines \nwere doing 11.5 kts., and over the ground about 10.0 \nknots. The only book brought from the wreck was the \nscrap Log Book and also the working chart. I carried \ntwo officers. The 2nd officer was promoted to Acting \nChief Officer when the Chief Officer was landed on \nsailing day due to an eye accident. \n\nOnly about one-third behaved \nin an exemplary manner; the remainder were of no \nassistance to me. The compass was adjusted October, \n1946, and observation since that date confirmed the \ndeviation on the direction card supplied by the adjusters. \n\nAs there was no moon, we had no hope of seeing Pedro \nBlanco.",
