How that happened is explicable by those who knew the parties involved.

O'Keefe, Henderson and Co., the owners of the schooner \"Lilla;\" but the offending parties refusing to pay up, I was ordered to enforce payment. The trade produce so obtained consisting of cobra, pearl shell, tortoise shell, and bêche-de-mer, was handed over to Mr. Henderson, who arrived at the islands while we were there; but the stone money paid was kept by Mr. Gibbon until the natives should bring in enough trade to redeem it, and which I believe was subsequently done; also the remaining part of the fine was, I think, paid by the offending tribes, as I purposely left the impression on their minds that they would be liable to further punishment if they did not do so.\n\nI trust Receipts were given by Mr. Henderson (for what he was given) to Mr. Gibbon, and I think duplicates were sent with the correspondence to the Commander-in-chief. Mr. O'Keefe is not giving further trouble in this matter. A great deal of risk and expense was incurred to settle this affair, which was brought about in a great measure by the way in which O'Keefe was in the habit of treating the natives of these islands, and I hope he will not be listened to.\n\nI can quite fancy that he may be trying to make something out of the late embroglio about the Caroline Islands, and sending in preposterous claims.\n\nI inclose copy of an extract taken from a letter written to me by Mr. Gibbon some time after I was there referring to this matter.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)\n\nJAMES W.

These amounts which have already been considerably diminished by the Agreement of 1913, are not excessive taking into consideration the situation of Macao itself and the state of the opium industry in the neighbouring regions.\n\nThe Government of Macao have been consulted on the matter and as soon as the necessary information is received, the Portuguese Government will inform this Legation taking into due consideration the spirit which has induced this initiative on the part of His Majesty's Government.\n\nI have the honour to be with the highest respect,\n\nMy Lord,\n\nYour Lordship's most obedient,\n\nhumble servant,\n\n(signed) EDWARD KELLING\n\nPage ...\n\n \nThe Right Honble.,\n\nEarl Curzon of Kedleston, K.G.,\n\netc., etc..", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-465 - Public Offices & Others - 1920.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 494431, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-478 - Public Offices & Others - 1922", "page_number": 823, "title": "CO129-478 - Public Offices & Others - 1922", "content_text": "B.

Söderberg, examined this small fragment and their examination led to the most important discovery in this field since the discovery in 1921 of the Yang Shao dwelling site. It could be shown with certainty that the plant imprints in this fragment were husks of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa). The discovery was in a high degree sensational not only because it sets back the history of rice an immense distance in time, but also because it points not to dry Central Asia, but to rainy Southern Asia, which is the homeland of rice.'\n\n\"\n\nIt thus looks as if we should have to give rice the pre-eminence in antiquity of all the cereals. Its home was probably the Burma-Siam region or perhaps Southern China, though Mrs. Arber does not shut out the possibility of tropical Africa. When did it first reach Europe? If its original home was Africa it possibly reached Europe in very early times. But if, as seems more probable, its original home was the monsoon area of Eastern Asia it probably did not reach Europe till Saracen times. Gibbon, however, gives quite another view. He says of the Roman marriage, \"the contracting parties tasted a salt cake of far or rice, and this confarreation, which denoted the ancient food of Italy, (italics ours) seemed as an emblem of their mystic union of mind and body.\" Gibbon was probably no botanist any more than Dr. Johnson, but we should have been pleased if Mrs. Arber had told us whether there was any foundation for Gibbon's belief that rice was \"the ancient food of Italy.\" Some of the facts which Mrs. Arber does mention about rice are well worthy of note. One often wonders why some of the Eastern peoples keep rice as their staple food, especially as it is dearer than wheat, and not a very complete food stuff (\"it lacks nitrogenous matter and also fat.\") But we get this interesting piece of information which may possibly account for a good deal:-\"The deficiencies of the grain from the food standpoint become virtues under tropical conditions, since they improve its keeping capacity.\"\n\nCurious and disjointed facts which we have heard in youth sometimes stay in our heads a long time. When I was a schoolboy we had Robinson Crusoe as an examination text-book, and the teacher, believing that the examiners were likely to ask a question on de Foe's errors in Robinson Crusoe, had carefully coached us on all these mistakes. I have forgotten them all now, except one. I don't think my teacher was a botanist but he told us that when Robinson Crusoe is represented as emptying the bag of remains of barley and rice on the ground under the rocks and later finding barley and rice growing, that de Foe had made a mistake; that the rice grain in this condition would not grow; that it was the only grain which lost its germ in being hulled.*\n\nNow the rice grain as we get it for food has no germ. Mrs. Arber, of course, does not mention in what stage of the process\n\n* Since writing the above I have found that this error and others in Robinson Crusoe are mentioned by Archbishop Whately in his Commonplace Book, and my teacher seems to have got them from this source.\n\nJuly 1935.\n\n18", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-554-6 Hong Kong University- 1.
