Discovered three wounds inflicted by a knife or sword on the scalp, penetrating to the scull; at outer angle of left eye a perforated wound, made apparently by a spear. Such an instamment as the spear with a cutting edge might have inflicted the wounds on the scalp. There was a large wound on the right hip three inches long made by a cutting instrument, the esa kond of spear might have done it; there were very severe contusions, on the hands, face, and back, us if the body had been beaten. Think none of the wounds sufficient to cause death. Did not open the body from the advanced state of decomposi tion. Dr. Tweddell, agreed in my opinion. I think Captain DaCaste was thrown in alive and drowned. Probable that Captain DaCosta was either in a state of syncopé or altering from concussion of the brain when thrown into the water. I form this opinion from the appearance and nature of the wounds-the water would operate in the same way to came death whether the person suffered from syrempe or concussion of the brain---drowning would be the cause of death.

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

The task is to proofread this text, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, and restoring paragraph breaks, all while preserving the original content and format as much as possible.\n\n## Step 2\nFirst, we need to identify and correct spelling errors. For example, \"Wongkong\" should be \"Hongkong\", \"sh. 1000j€rawa\" should be \"sh. 1000\", and \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" should be \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" (no change needed here, but \"Brit.\" is an abbreviation for \"British\" which is correct). \"Dut. 764 ric\" should be \"Dut. 764\", and \"Earl of Windeer\" should be \"Earl of Windsor\".\n\n## Step 3\nNext, we need to fix spacing issues. For instance, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\", and \"GR 1178/1922/32 (III)\" should be \"GR1178/1922/32(III)\".\n\n## Step 4\nWe also need to rejoin broken sentences. The text contains many lines that are split due to OCR layout errors. For example, sentences that are broken across lines without a logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nRestoring paragraph breaks is another crucial step. The OCR output may have incorrectly merged or split paragraphs. We need to format the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n\n## Step 6\nIndicate missing words with \"...\" if a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text should be formatted in standard Markdown. This includes using headers (#, ##, ###), sub-headers, bold-type (**bold**), and tables using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Step 8\nSince the text is a mix of different documents, including newspaper articles and court transcripts, we need to be careful not to rephrase or rewrite the content. The task is to correct errors and improve formatting without changing the style, tone, or word choice.\n\n## Step 9\nNo translation of text is required, and file references should not have any spacing inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 10\nPage numbering lines, if detected (usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end), should be kept as they are, as they were originally used during scanning to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 11\nThe output should be in HTML using  for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n324\n\n25\n\n[NO. 6.

Maine\n\nThe China Mail.\n\nHONGKONG, THURSDAY, 1ST SEPTEMBER, 1859.\n\nWe take the following affidavit of Colonel Caine, in the case of Mr Tarrant, from the Friend of China of yesterday's date :—\n\nIN THE SUPREME COURT OF HONGKONG. Crown Side.\n\nI, William Caine, Brevet Lieutenant Colonel in the Army, make oath and say,—\n\n1. That I am Lieutenant-Governor of the Colony of Hongkong, and am at present administering the Government thereof, and that I have successively held the offices here of Chief Magistrate, Colonial Secretary, and Lieutenant Governor.\n\n2. That I have perused the hereunto annexed impression of a certain Newspaper entitled the Overland Friend of China, numbered 16, and bearing date the twenty-fourth day of August, 1859, and purporting to be printed and published by Luiz d'Azevedo for William Tarrant, Editor and Proprietor thereof.\n\n3. That in such impression, and in the third and fourth columns of the first page thereof occur the following remarks, viz :—\n\nNotwithstanding the non-arrival of Sir Hercules Robinson, it is understood that Lieut.-Colonel Caine, who, since Sir John Bowring left has led the post of Governor here, proceeds to England by the outgoing mail. This is the party referred to by Chisholm Anstey in his speech at Newcastle (extracts from which will be found on our third page) as 'the veteran' from India, whom he had heard declare many a time and ... found it easy for officers to add £500 per annum to their pay by receiving presents from natives, and who, Mr Anstey went on to say, had shown by his practice in Hongkong that he had not profited badly by the lessons so learned when in India.\n\nThis is extraordinary language to use of a public man, and must necessitate a stringent enquiry. Should that enquiry be properly gone about, the result cannot be doubtful. Mr Anstey, it will be seen, bases his charges on what appears in the book before him, and the papers to be moved for by Mr Edwin James; but unless Mr Anstey is requested by Government to give his aid to the unravelling of what that book and those papers unfold, we entertain grave fears for the success to truth of what may be done under the auspices of Downing Street.\n\n[Downing Street! Faugh! The very name of Downing Street, to victimized Colonists, stinks in our nostrils. If there is one germ of revolution and danger to the State, which of all others should be first eradicated, that term lies in Downing Street. Downing Street, the callous-hearted, blind-eyed, deaf-eared monster—the pulse which of all others throbs untrue to the great heart of England.]\n\nA pension for some purpose or other this comprador being the man on whose receivings those entries were made in the Central Market books of \"Paid Caine duty money\"—\"Paid Caine himself,\" &c.,—monies to the extent of £500 within one month, all of which was clear extortion.\n\n\"Such, then, are our grounds for saying that there can be little difficulty in substantiating a charge against Colonel Caine of malversation of office. The reports to which we have referred, may, Colonel Caine would have his friends believe, be all reports and nothing else; but though the scandal be but scandal, the extraordinary course which Colonel Caine has taken to rebut it is so mysterious and reprehensible, that, for it alone, he deserves punishment as a malfeasant. This conduct may be likened to that of the Governor of a castle who, whilst he stoutly maintains the gate, permits the enemy to enter by another and a prepared way. It was ever his bounden duty to keep the character of this government in the eyes of the Chinese pure and undefiled, and of all things to keep his own hands clean. The hands may be clean, but what has become of the character! What is the character of the Hongkong Government as represented on the name of Colonel Caine?\n\n\"If Colonel Caine is guilty of but a tithe of what is laid at his door, then we say that Mr Caldwell, of whom our Newcastle friends are making so much noise, is an angel of light when placed in comparison, and, guilty or not guilty, it is all the same, for we say it without the slightest fear of contradiction, that neither Mr Caldwell, Dr Bridges, nor Mah-chow Wong would ever have dared to act as they did had they not had before their eyes the spectacle of Downing Street's determination to ignore, visit with pecuniary loss and contumely, present and all complaint; not simply to ignore complaint, but to prospective, all who dare to intrude complaint on their notice.\n\n\"Oh for a more than Herculean power to crush that monster, Downing Street! that rival of the worst days of the Spanish Inquisition, or the German Fehm...\n\n4. That by the words Lieutenant-Colonel Caine, Colonel Caine, and Caine, in such article appearing, I only, and no other person can be meant.\n\n5. That I never at any time informed Mr Chisholm Anstey that I had found it easy for Officers in India to add £500 per annum to their pay by receiving presents from the natives, nor have I at any time said anything to the said Mr Chisholm Anstey, or to any one else, from which such assertion could be fabricated.\n\n6. That I never at any time wanted a dollar a head from each resident in Chinese brothels—that I never at any time wanted fees for keeping gambling-tables—that I never at any time wanted what was termed \"hiang gun,\" duty money, for licenses to sell in markets—that I never at any time wanted presents for my influence in Council—that I never at any time wanted a full supply of everything for my table from the market holders, except upon the usual terms of paying for what I had like other people—that I never wanted a huge, or any percentage whatsoever on building contracts—that I never, on the grants of leases, wanted any sum or sums of money, and much less sums of various amounts from one hundred to five hundred pounds sterling—that I never required my thirds, or any proportion or fee whatsoever, on offices held by Europeans under Government, nor ever did receive any such proportion of either salaries or fees of Office of any Colonial servants—that I did not, in any way, allow or connive at my house compradore getting out of the reach of Justice—that I do not pay my old compradore a pension, and that I never (have) been guilty of malversation of office.\n\n7. That the statements in the said Overland Friend of China Newspaper, to the effect that there can be no difficulty of substantiating against me a charge of malversation of office, insinuating that I corruptly wanted a dollar a head from each resident in Chinese brothels in this Colony—that I corruptly wanted fees for the keeping of gambling tables in this colony—that I corruptly wanted what was termed the \"hiang-gun\" duty money for licenses, for persons to sell in market in this colony—that I corruptly wanted presents for the improper exercise of my influence as a Member of either the Executive or the Legislative Councils in this Colony—that I corruptly wanted a full supply of everything for my table from the market holders of this Colony (without the usual payment therefor)—that I corruptly wanted a huge percentage on building contracts—that I corruptly wanted, on the grant of leases, sums of various amounts from one hundred to five hundred pounds sterling, and charging that on offices held by European servants in this Colony, I corruptly required or received a third of their salaries, and that when I had a good opportunity to confront my house comprador, the alleged recipient of much extorted money with the parties who charged him; I did not simply allow, but, as appearances go, actually connived at his getting out of the reach of justice; and that I deserve punishment as a malfeasant, are false, malicious, and defamatory libels, and wholly untrue.\n\nSworn at the Supreme Court House, Victoria, this twenty-fifth day of August, A.D. 1859.\n\nW.

This is the party referred to by Chisholm Anstey In his speech at Newcastle (extracts from which will be found on our third page) as 'the veteran from India, whom he had heard declare many a time and oft, found it easy for officers to add £500 per annum to their pay by receiving presents from natives, and who, Mr Anstey went on to say, had shown by his practice in Hongkong that he had not profited badly by the Lessons so learned when in India.\n\n\"... without the slightest fear of contradiction, that neither Mr Caldwell, Dr Bridges, nor Mah-chow Wong would ever have dared the spectacle of Downing Street's determination to ignore to act as they did had they not had before their eyes all complaint; not simply to ignore complaint, but to visit with pecuniary loss and contumely, present and prospective, all who dare to intrude complaint on their notice.\n\n\"Oh for a more than Herculean power to crush that monster, Downing Street! that rival of the worst days of the Spanish Inquisition, or the German Vehm!\"\n\n4. That by the words Lieutenant-Colonel Caine, being, I only, and no other person can be meant. Colonel Caine, and Caine, in such article appear\n\n\"Chisholm Anstey that I had found it easy for Officers in India to add £500 per annum to their pay by receiving presents from the natives, nor have I at any time said any thing to the said Mr Chisholm Anstey, or to any one else, from which such assertion could be fabricated.\n\n5. That I never at any time informed Mr\n\n6. That I never at any time wanted a dollar a head from each resident in Chinese brothels-- that I never at any time wanted fees for keeping gambling-tables-that I never at any time wanted what was termed hiang gun, duty money, for licenses to sell in markets-that I never at any time wanted presents for my influence in Council-that I never at any time wanted a full supply of every thing for my table from the market holders, except upon the usual terms of paying for what I had like other people that I never wanted a huge percentage on building contracts--that I never, on the grants of leases, wanted any sum or sums of money, and much less sums of various amounts from one hundred to five hundred pounds sterling-that I never required my thirds, or any proportion or fee whatsoever, on offices held by Europeans under Government, nor ever did receive any such proportion of either salaries or fees of Office of any Colonial servants that I did not, in any way, allow or connive at my house compradore getting out of the reach of Justice-that I do not pay my old compradore a pension, and that I never (have) been guilty of malversation of office.\n\n7. That the statements in the said Overland Friend of China Newspaper, to the effect that there can be no difficulty of substantiating against me a charge of malversation of office, insinuating that I corruptly wanted a dollar á head from each resident in Chinese brothels in this Colony--that I corruptly wanted fees for the keeping of gambling tables in this colony-that I corruptly wanted what was termed the \"hiang-gun \"duty money for licenses, for persons to sell In market in this colony that I corruptly wanted presents for the improper exercise of my influence as a Member of either the Executive or the Legislative Councils in this Colony-that I corruptly wanted a full supply of everything for my table from the market holders of this Colony (without the usual payment therefor)- that I corruptly wanted a huge percentage on building contracts that I corruptly wanted, on the grant of leases, sums of various amounts from one hundred to five hundred pounds sterling, and charging that on offices held by European servants in this Colony, I corruptly required or received a third of their salaries, and that when I had a good opportunity to confront my house comprador, the alleged recipient of much extorted money with the parties who charged him; I not only allowed but actually connived at the said house comprador's getting out of the reach of justice; and that I deserve punishment as a malfeasant, are false, malicious, and defamatory libels, and wholly untrue.\n\nSworn at the Supreme Court House, Victoria, this twenty-fifth day of August, A.D. 1859.\n\nW.

We bought 6 fine sheep on shore at 24 dollars each.\n\nI took a walk with Captain Bythesca and 4 Sappers, all armed with revolvers under our coats, and went to the west of the city, opposite the West Gate.\n\nOn this side, as well as on the south, the whole town is completely commanded by hills, sloping down to the walls. On the south, the city wall runs a little way up the hill, and this portion of the interior space is not built over. The city contained many large buildings, but apparently very many are in ruins.\n\nThere is a large yellow-roofed Yamun, in good repair however, near the S. W. angle. There is also an old ruined building near the N. Gate, much like the 5-storied Pagoda at Canton. There are, as usual, very fine trees in the town. The East Gate appears in bad repair; the others all good. That at the south is of a curious blue colour.\n\nThere appears to be a portion of the interior of the city contained within an inner wall, near the S.W. angle, probably the grounds of the yellow-roofed Yamun. This colour designating a building enjoying imperial favour.\n\nThe walls appear to be about 4 miles round.\n\nThe ground outside the walls is all open and sandy. There are occasional narrow gullies through which the surface water is carried off, but the country is perfectly practicable for anything.\n\nThere is no supply of water except from wells. This water appears good, and from the porous nature of the upper stratum, I should imagine there must be abundance of water in the wells. What we tasted out of one was very good and cold. We saw sheep and bullocks. I think but few of the latter would be obtainable, as the Chinese only rear them for labouring purposes.\n\nBeans, peas, and corn are grown here.\n\nThere appears no trade going on, scarcely a junk to be seen; a good many mules and ponies on the hills, but hardly any life outside the city.\n\nThere is an excellent bay for landing to the west of the town, but no harbour for ships.\n\nDuring a southerly wind they are safe, but a north wind would be dangerous, as the headlands are very rocky. There is also an extensive spit running out for a distance of a mile from the shore to the east of the town.\n\nThis place does not present so good a situation for occupation as \"Chec-foo,\" but it is easy of capture, and being evidently a city of ancient importance, its capture in these regions might have a beneficial effect, and having got into it we might refrain from spoiling it on the production by the Mandarins of a plentiful supply of cattle for our troops, on receipt of which we might move off.\n\nRise and fall of tide, 5 feet.\n\nThe weather was very pleasant whilst at Teng-choo-foo, except on the 20th, when there was a strong very hot southerly wind. Thermometer up to 89°, and barometer 29'6. Violent thunderstorm and heavy rain succeeded at 6 P.M. which lasted near two hours.\n\nNext day the wind shifted to the north and fell light. Sailed at 2 p.m. 21st July.\n\nReached \"To-kee,\" one of the \"Mia-tao\" Islands, about 2 P.M. 22nd July. We had been told there were plenty of bullocks here. The gun-boats had been sent on here to water. There is a good well on the S. of the island.\n\nLanded and said we wished to purchase bullocks.\n\nThey gave the usual answer that they had none, on which we hinted that if in the course of our walking over the island we should happen to meet with any cattle, they could of course have no objection to our catching them. They immediately asked how many we wanted, and offered to bring us off eight and some vegetables.\n\nOn the 23rd we walked over a great part of the island, but saw none, nor was there any pasturage for any number of cattle. The only animals we saw were donkeys.\n\nOn one of the gun-boats applying for cattle, they brought off a donkey in a boat for them.\n\nThe island has a sandy soil, and is high.\n\nThe rains are carried off by gullies cut out deeply in the loose soil, and quite dry now. I imagine the water all runs off immediately. The island grows Indian corn, wheat, peas, and beans. It is about 7 miles round.\n\nThe natives brought off 7 bullocks first and later 4 more, for which we paid eight dollars each, or about 3d. a pound. The people were civil, but did not like us to enter the villages.\n\nSailed from \"To-kee\" at daylight on 24th July. Wet morning. Barometer 29.84; thermometer 75°. Very cool.\n\nJuly 26th.-Arrived off the Great Wall and pulled to the shore. Asked for fresh provisions. Two blue-buttoned Mandarins came down to the beach and asked what we were doing up here. We said we had sick on board, and were cruising to avoid the hot weather. We asked after the head Mandarin, but they told us he was a man sent up by the Commissioner at \"Tung-koo” (at the mouth of the \"Pei-ho\"), that he would not see us, and if we had anything to say we had better go down there to say it. They said their orders were to treat us as friends, but not to allow us to land.\n\nJuly 27th.-Sketched outline of hills. Boats sounded.\n\nWent on shore and saw the same Mandarins. They promised to let us have what provisions they could spare next day. Saw several of the Tartar Cavalry. They are mostly armed with a sword and a matchlock, which they charge with ten slugs. Their powder is very coarse.\n\nThe ponies much the same as at Canton; some rather better. Other Tartars had spears, and some bows and arrows; but I did not see these close.\n\nOne officer had a European sword with steel scabbard. We asked to be allowed to walk on the wall, but they would not hear of it.\n\nJuly 28th. The \"Starling\" having arrived, signalled her to anchor in a position indicated, as also the \"Forester.\"\n\nTook bearings, and got distances by sound and flash of gun, and laid down positions; took angles.\n\n29th. Surveyed coast line for 9 miles, and plotted in work.\n\nDescription of \"Ning-hae.\"\n\nNing-hae is the name of the city near which the Great Wall runs down to the sea. It is retired about 2 miles from the beach, and is situated on an extensive undulating plain of sandy soil, highly cultivated. The plain appears",

Upon that letter I have nothing more to remark at present--I shall lay it, with the notes of the Chief Magistrate, and a minute of my own, before His Excellency the Governor.\n\nYou will therefore understand that my object in thus addressing you is to explain to you that what has been done in this matter by the Registrar General has not originated with him, but from my acting under the impression that it is my duty to attempt to alter what I conceive to be a scandal upon Police direction in this Colony.\n\n\"I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,\n**\"C. MAY, Esq.\"**, \nSuperintendent of Police.\n\n\"No. 12.\"\n\n66\n\nMr. May's rejoinder.\n\n66\n\n**\"W. T. BRIDGES,\"** Acting Colonial Secretary.\n\n## OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 12th March, 1858.\n\nSIR,-I have to acknowledge receipt of your letter No. 125, dated 11th March, written during the absence of His Excellency the Governor at Canton. The Circular referred to therein, as it shows upon the face of it, was written by me as a Justice of the Peace to three brother Justices, who were sitting on the Bench when an insinuation based on falsehood was uttered by a witness in a case under hearing, and which insinuation, if unnoticed by me, was calculated to injure my character, and be a lasting reproach to my honor. The Circular contained within itself and its accompanying report from Inspector Jarman ample refutation of all inferences injurious to me, and also expressed deep indignation, that I should have been thus wantonly assailed by an Officer of Government, who is well known to have a spirit of hostility towards me, caused, because in the necessary performance of my duty, I exposed to Her Majesty's Government that, for a series of years, he was either the dupe or the partisan of a man convicted of confederating with pirates--the notorious Wong Akce, alias Mah-chow Wong.\n\nI had hoped that the refutation would have obtained the desired end, but your letter painfully undeceived me, and I am therefore, after a service of twenty-three years in Her Majesty's Government, compelled still further to reply to so degrading an insinuation.\n\nI offer no reply to one part of your letter because I am assured His Excellency will not tolerate any invasion upon private reputation unconnected in any way with the public Service or Duty.\n\nYour letter states that you intend laying before His Excellency the Governor my Circular, together with the notes of the Chief Magistrate, and a minute of your own. I should like that the report of Inspector Jarman be also laid before His Excellency, and that, if the notes of the Chief Magistrate were written before he perused my refutation, that that Gentleman may have opportunity to state what were his opinions after such perusal, and I have no doubt but that His Excellency will think it proper to obtain the opinions or notes of the third Justice present at the utterance of the scandal.\n\nI have now only to reply to the last charge, viz., that it is deduced from inference that I knew of the existence of the brothel prosecuted by the Registrar General. I beg therefore to draw your recollection to a conversation I held with you ten days back on the subject of the said brothel. You then informed me that a Military Gentleman had told you certain particulars about the house, situated in a range of buildings, one of which was occupied by Mr. Almeida; and you described the position of the suspected house, stating that you believed it to be kept by a woman named Ahtai. You requested me to direct Inspector Jarman to look after the matter. I told you then, that I did not know of the existence of such a house, but would do as you desired. Showing that I complied with your request, I enclose a report from Inspector Jarman. Up to the time of your mentioning the subject, I was under the impression that the three houses, of which the suspected one is the centre, were all occupied by Parsee Merchants, and as regards my frequently passing the house and thereby gaining knowledge by observation, I beg to declare upon my honor, that I have not passed the house ten times in one month during the four months I resumed my Office of Superintendent of Police.\n\nI must further state that I cannot draw the inference you do from the relative position of the respective houses occupied by Mrs. Rozario and the prostitute Ahtai, that the occupant of one should be supposed to know the character of the other, inasmuch as both houses in regard to each other are four houses (round the angle of the range) distant from each other, in different Streets.\n\nTouching inference and deduction, however, on so grave a matter, I believe I need not have made reply. The reputation of a man is not to be placed at the hazard of inference.\n\nHaving thus respectfully, although feeling deeply injured, as much by your official letter as by the misstatement and insinuation of the Registrar General, I respectfully appeal to His Excellency the Governor to give me that justice which I can only seek at his hands. The only consolation I have is the full knowledge of the rectitude of my public conduct being understood and appreciated by the public, and I am assured, that even without defence, there is not one man in the Colony (not even the Registrar General) who can say that he ever knew me swerve from what I considered my duty.\n\n\"I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,\n**\"C. MAY,\"** \nSuperintendent of Police.\n\n## NOTE.\n\nI perceive from Mr. Jarman's report that he does not recollect my instructing him to look after the house; but my firm belief is that I did, because it is obvious that I could only have that intention. The matter was so curiously (and jocularly) mentioned by the Acting Colonial Secretary, that I never gave the subject a thought until I was astounded by the proceedings at the Police Court. **\"C.M.\"**\n\nThe Honorable The ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.\n\n**\"CHAS. MAY, Esq.\"**\n\n### Enclosure No. 1 in Mr. May's letter.\n\n## VICTORIA, HONGKONG, 10th March, 1858.\n\nSIR, In accordance with your request of this date I examined the residence of Mrs. de Rozario's, and am of opinion that it is quite impossible for any female to escape from Mrs. Attai's residence to that of Mrs. Rozario's.\n\nBut without much difficulty a female could escape from Mrs. Attai's to that of Mrs. Ah Yow's, the latter being the intermediate house between that of Mrs. Rozario's and Mrs. Attai's. I notice there is a side window to the house occupied by Mrs. Rozario, but as there are permanent window's bars to that window it would effectually prevent any person gaining entrance there.\n\n\"I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,\n**\"JAS. JARMAN,\"** \nInspector of Police.\n\n### Enclosure No. 2 in Mr. May's letter.\n\n## 12th March, 1858.\n\nSIR,-With reference to a conversation that took place about a fortnight ago, it runs as follows to the best of my recollection. I complained to you that one of the horse coolies had been neglecting a Police horse. You directed me to send for the Coolie, which I did.",

Inclosure.\n\nRevived\n\nForwarding Circular Prospectus issued by the\n\nCity Hall Committee\n\n22\n\nCIRCULAR.\n\nThe Provisional Committee for promoting the erection of a City Hall in Hongkong desire to report the progress that has been made, up to the close of the present year, in furthering the object for which they are associated.\n\nThe principal difficulty connected with this undertaking has been to procure a site that should be at once suitable for the purpose, and in the gift of Government; it being obvious that the present high value of Land within the limits of the City made it impossible that any sum of money, which the Committee could expect to command, would prove quite sufficient if ground had to be purchased.\n\nAn application for a site at the Western Corner of the Parade Ground, immediately under Messrs. A. Heard & Co.'s Office, was promptly and liberally conceded, but, before any formal grant of the Land had been made, it was fortunately discovered that difficulties, previously thought insuperable, to the occupation of the piece of ground now partially occupied by the Harbour Master's Office, were susceptible of removal; and the Committee have the satisfaction of stating that a recommendation for a grant of that site (undoubtedly the most eligible for the purposes of a City Hall in the whole Colony) has, with the approval of the Military Authorities, been forwarded by the local Government to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and that the position of the Drinking Fountain (presented to the City by Mr. John Dent, and now in course of erection) has been determined with special reference to the dimensions and situation of the proposed Building.\n\nThe space which, it is confidently hoped, will be thus placed at the disposal of the Committee will enable them to embrace in their scheme the following accommodation:\n\nI. A Public Hall, to be called the St. Andrew's Hall, in acknowledgment of a sum of Five thousand Dollars, which has been voted to the undertaking from the surplus Funds of the late St. Andrew's School. This room will be available for Public Meetings, Public Dinners, Balls, Concerts and other public purposes.\n\nII. A Supper Room adjoining the Hall, and which, together with the Hall, can be used, when not specially required for other purposes, as an Exchange.\n\nIII. A room for the Chamber of Commerce, where files of Newspapers, Prices Current, Books of Commercial reference and Telegrams will be open to the use of Subscribers to that Institution.\n\nIV. A Public Library for the objects stated by the Trustees of the Morrison Education Society in their printed Circular of the 1st May last.\n\nV. A permanent Theatre, which will encourage visits to Hongkong by musical and histrionic artists from other parts of the East, and will obviate the necessarily heavy and unsatisfactory outlay which the frequent erection of temporary Theatres has hitherto entailed.\n\nThe remainder of the space will be absorbed by the Harbour Master's Office, which will be removed from its present position to one appropriated for it in the North Eastern angle of the intended building, in accordance with the proposal submitted by the Committee to Government for permission to use the site which that office at present partially occupies.\n\nFinished plans have not yet been prepared, and it is proposed that, at the proper time, they should be thrown open to competition, but the Committee have satisfied themselves that the space they have applied for will be ample for carrying out the various objects enumerated above on a scale which will render the intended edifice an ornament to the City, a convenience to the public, and in every way worthy of a Colony whose rapid growth and progress are the surest proofs of its wealth, enterprise and prosperity.\n\nThe urgency of the want that exists for a Public Building of this nature need scarcely be dilated on. Without diverting the Club House from its legitimate uses, at a great sacrifice of the convenience of its members, there is not in the length and breadth of the City a suitable room which can be commanded for any object of general or social interest. The difficulties that attended the Inauguration Dinner of the Volunteers, the abandonment last winter of a Masonic Ball for want of a room to hold it in, and the disadvantages to which the professional Artists at present here are exposed, are a few instances amongst very many of the inconvenience occasioned by the want of a City Hall, a want, the Committee believe, which is not shared by any other foreign Community of equal importance East of the Cape, a want which has been recently supplied at Singapore and which they trust will not be allowed much longer to serve as an indication of an absence of public spirit in Hongkong.\n\nThe preservation of the valuable collections of Books in the care of the Trustees of the Morrison Education Society, and which are threatened with decay for want of a proper place of deposit, is an object which especially commends itself as a matter of public import in a region so remote from the great centres of civilization, and where the want of standard works of reference and solid instruction makes itself continually felt.\n\nIn reference to the important question of Funds, the Committee are glad to be able to announce that they have actually in hand a sum of upwards of Fifteen Thousand Dollars, which is expected to be increased to upwards of Twenty Thousand Dollars by a Donation from the Chamber of Commerce. This amount, which has been collected from various sources without any appeal having yet been made to the Community generally, falls, however, obviously short of what will be required for the purposes contemplated, and the Committee trust that further contributions will be liberally and spontaneously tendered in support of the undertaking. Old residents, in retiring from the Colony may perhaps adopt the example of some who have preceded them and evince their interest in its progress and in the well-being of their successors by a contribution to the Fund. The payment of interest on the Canton claims also affords an opportunity for Donations of sums of no great importance individually, but which in the aggregate would materially assist the common object.\n\nThe Provisional Committee in concluding their present report, have thankfully to acknowledge the receipt of various amounts from Mr. John Dent, Mr. C. F. Still, Mr. Edward Webb, the late Mr. Angus Fletcher, the Choral Society of Hongkong, and the Trustees of the St. Andrew's School. Further Subscriptions will be received by either of the Trustees, Messrs. TURING, NOBLE and OWEN.\n\nA. TURING.\n\nH. NOBLE.\n\nR. C. R. OWEN.\n\nC. W. MURRAY,\n\nW. H. RENNIE.\n\nE. H.

In carrying into effect the gentlemen of the Committee associated with me decided that it was advisable to modify some portions of the plan as furnished in my Report and Estimate. The boundary Walk was also lengthened at the N.W. and S.E. extremities. An additional fourth batch was decided to be necessary, and the flights of steps were altered and extended in some degree both at the Terraces and S.E. angle. The labour account, exclusive of that furnished by Convicts, as estimated proved insufficient, for it was found that the ground was so much on a mass of Rock beneath that nothing contracting would result unless the whole surface were trenched over or filled in several feet in depth. This work was accordingly proceeded with.\n\nA considerable excess of expenditure over the preliminary Estimate must necessarily follow,",

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. We are therefore of opinion, that Mr. Boxer must have seen the Mackinnon Rock, the difference in position may be ascribed to the fact of the Hesper being an iron vessel, and, in consequence, the bearings taken from the Compasses cannot be implicitly relied on.\n\nTo avoid this danger, vessels entering the Channel from the Westward, should not bring Plat Island to the Westward of S.W. by S., whilst Dome Island is Northward of an E. by N. bearing; when Oeste Rock bears S. by W., they are to the Eastward of the Mackinnon Rock, and can haul to the Southward.\n\nEntering the Channel from the Eastward, after passing Dome Island steer to the Northward until it bears E. by N., keeping it on that bearing until Plat Island bears S.W. by S.\n\nNo. 116.\n\nGOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.\n\nT.

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.

        "content_text": "## The Late Fire\n\nAn Inspector, or Sergeant, in charge, whose duty is solely with that engine, to direct its movements, and carry out the orders of his chief as to the place and mode in which it is to be used. A man in charge of the hose to fix, lengthen, shorten, and move it about as required, obeying only his own foreman, or the Superintendent; and a strong-bodied clear-headed man with courage and nerve to guide the jet; one with sense enough not to throw away the water in mad attempts to extinguish what is not on fire, or to put out what is hopelessly blazing, and with pluck enough to take his hose close up to a burning window, or along a roof top, or a wall. These three men are the life and soul of an engine. It is valueless without them and their common sense and experience. All the rest is mere bone and muscle. Any one will do for the pulling, hauling, and pumping.\n\nIf there was one noticeable feature in the performance of the Fire Brigade on Thursday, it was the absence of any attempt whatever to get that command over the fire, which a position above it affords. Not a soul ventured on roof or verandah to get a complete view of the scene, and judge fairly of the direction and progress of the fire. Not a hose was got up to pour water down on the blazing mass, almost the only effective mode of dealing with fire. Who has ever witnessed a London fire and not seen how every effort was made to take ground on every spot that looked down on the fire, and lead the water off points from which it could be most effectively thrown?\n\nOne word more, for the Superintendent himself. Before he gives a single order, much less forms his plan of action, let him take a rapid survey of the whole scene, its capabilities, and its disadvantages, its weak, and its strong points, and give himself five minutes' reflection on what he has got to do, and how best to do it.\n\n### The Late Fire\n\n## FURTHER PARTICULARS\n\nAlthough the more important facts connected with the fire that broke out on Thursday night, at Messrs. Fawcett and Co.'s store, have been already published, the real cause of the origin and spread of the conflagration have not yet been made public. From what can be learnt, the following particulars of the first outbreak of the fire may be relied on.\n\nThe store occupied by Messrs. Fawcett and Co., situate at the corner of Wyndham-street and Wellington-street was peculiarly constructed. The store itself, in fact, somewhat resembled the yards attached to old English Inns, having an inside verandah and rooms all round. On the north side of the store, that is the side facing Wellington-street, there was a suite of rooms, occupied by Mr. Bleecker, assistant to Messrs. Fawcett & Co. On the west side a long row of bedrooms extended, which formerly were portions of the Oriental Hotel, and on the south side were the private apartments of the firm. The east side was a wall.\n\nThe store at the time of the fire of course held a stock of the usual materials connected with the Shipchandlery business, but in one corner, which may be described as the W., or the angle of the store, almost in the centre of the block, there was placed a few barrels of tar and the general refuse of the store, and it is supposed that this particular corner was the seat and origin of the fire.\n\nAbout eleven o'clock on Thursday evening, Mr. Bleecker, who occupied the north side of the store as apartments, being (or rather fancied he heard being in bed at the time) a noise as of the crackling of burning wood, and accordingly went out into the verandah opposite Atick's store, to see if anything was wrong. Seeing nothing he returned into his room, and from thence passed into the store, (to which he had entrance) where he immediately discovered the presence of fire. On examination, he discovered that the S.W. corner of the building mentioned above was smouldering slowly, evidently having been in a state of ignition for some time.\n\nThe discovery of fire in the store, was alarming at first, and caused him to rush into the verandah attached to his apartments and loudly call out \"Fire!\" Mr. David Brown, who keeps a saloon and bowling alley next door to the store, (part of the old Oriental) promptly answered the cry, and was informed of what was going on inside. Mr. Bleecker then left his apartments with what clothes he had on, and cautiously opened, and after passing out locked the door, and commenced afresh to call \"Fire!\" No response being given to his cry he began to think of saving what he could, and with that idea again passed into the store where he secured the books, and handed them to a gentleman outside; all this time the front door had been kept closed so that no draught might rush in to feed the already increasing flames.\n\nAbout three quarters of an hour after Mr. Bleecker first gave the alarm, Mr. Creagh, the assistant superintendent of the Fire Brigade, arrived on the scene of the fire, and immediately desired that the door should be opened. This was at first opposed by Messrs. Fawcett & Co.'s assistant, but Mr. Creagh had his own way, and the door was opened. The draught which instantly rushed in, fanned the smouldering embers into a flame, which spread with great rapidity throughout the whole store.\n\nThe hose pipe from the Central police-station arrived about the same time as Mr. Creagh, and was attached to the fire-plug with the idea of reducing the flames. This project, however, was marred by the assistant superintendent in opening the door in the first instance, and as a natural consequence, considering the inflammable nature of the building, the hose was useless, the flames having mounted to the roof. The hose, which was a short one, had not sufficient force to have any power over the flames on the roof to which it was directed.\n\nThe first engine...",

        "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",

CROWNINSHIELD, sworn, states:** I was Captain's clerk, and on board the Oneida on the 24th January, at the time of her collision with the Bombay. I was asleep in the Captain's cabin, on the starboard transom, at the time of the collision. I found myself lying on the cabin floor, recovering from being stunned. As soon as I realized where I was, I saw that the cabin was a wreck, and the stern was knocked out. I crawled out through the stern, and climbed on to the spar deck. The companion ladder leading from the cabin to the deck was gone, and I climbed over broken timber and débris. I looked down the Captain's hatch, (the skylight was gone) to see if Captain Williams was there; and finding he was not, I went forward on to the bridge, and reported to the navigating officer who was on the bridge the extent of the damage. I went down on deck from the bridge, spoke to two or three of the officers, walked aft, and then found that the ship had commenced to settle at the stern. I went into the main rigging and remained there five minutes. When the water had reached the hatches abaft the mainmast and was pouring down below, I threw off my coats, and presently the ship sank so that the water reached me. I pushed myself away from the rigging and was carried down in the vortex. When I came to the surface again, I found the ship had disappeared, but that there was a boat within 20 feet of me. I swam to the boat, and was taken on board, and landed with the rest of those in Mr. Yates' boat.\n\nTo **Mr. DE LONG**. The starboard quarter was gone the whole length of the cabin, which was 25 feet long, and the stern was demolished, cut down to the water's edge. The poop was carried away. To a person looking from the outside, there would be a clear hole six feet high and ten feet long. There was a large armchair, cane chair, two common chairs, a bureau, a sideboard, and a table in the Captain's cabin. The table had a red cover on it. There was a hanging lamp directly over the table, and also candles. I didn't notice whether the wheel had been carried away or not. I did not notice whether the propeller was revolving. The engines were going, but my impression was, that the propeller and rudder were both gone. The poop cabin had bodily been swept away. I saw Captain Williams after getting on deck. I saw him on the quarter deck, going towards the bridge: and I reported to him, also, the extent of the damage. I heard him give orders, and I think one of them was, to set topgallant sails. The other orders I don't remember. Mr. Muldaur repeated the Captain's orders. He was on the bridge with the Captain conducting the steering of the ship. They were trying to steer the ship with canvas; but afterwards the water reached the main hatches, and he said to the Captain, \"Captain, this ship will sink; it's of no use, you had better take to the rigging,\" and directly after making that remark, he jumped into the main rigging with me. I did not hear his voice about the vessel. I did not hear any hail from either of the ships. Our whistle was blowing from the time I got on deck, until the ship sunk. While I was in the rigging, there were three guns fired. I did not notice who was engaged in firing those guns. I saw Mr. Paymaster Tulloch. I spoke to him on the quarter deck, shortly after I came out of the cabin. After the vessel had sunk, I saw nothing of any of the officers. Mr. Tulloch was merely standing there. I asked him, what was the cause of the wreck, and he told me we had been run into by a steamer. As near as I can judge, the Oneida went down by the stern first; and after arriving at an angle of 45 degrees, she must have pitched down at that angle. I don't know where Captain Williams was at the moment of collision. When I went to sleep, he was in his cabin. Five minutes after I got out of the cabin, the water came in at the stern. The spar deck was put under water by the flow. I should say it was about ten to twelve minutes after I awoke that the vessel sunk. I have been at sea 22 years. I held a commission during the late war, as Volunteer Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy.\n\nTo **Mr. BARNARD**. I did feel the ship roll, but I have no idea how many times she rolled before settling down. She rolled slowly. I have no idea to which side she rolled first. I should say the first gun I heard was fired five minutes after I awoke. Between the first and second guns, a minute elapsed—it may have been more. I walked to the bridge. I did not see the Bombay at any time. Captain Williams was on deck when I went to the bridge.\n\nTo **THE COURT**. The light was burning in the cabin when I looked down to see if the Captain was there. There was a messenger boy down in the cabin; no one else. I looked down directly I had got on deck. When I left the cabin, the water was not coming into the cabin itself. The cabin tiller was always shipped at sea. I heard three guns. Two were fired on the starboard side, and I cannot say where the other was fired from. Captain Williams was on deck when the ship left the anchorage. I do not know whether he had been on deck while the officers were at dinner. I do not know when the Captain left the cabin. I didn't see the doctor's boat leave the ship. I was in the starboard main rigging. I did not notice at the time whether the rudder head was gone. I think, before the ship sunk, the doctor's boat was at the davits. I did not see that boat anywhere except at the davits. When I came to the surface, I saw a great many heads. I have been on the Oneida since the 16th of last April. Since that time, I have messed and lived with the Captain. While I was on the rigging, the Kanonsaki light bore almost on our starboard beam; and I should judge that the ship was heading almost for the spit.\n\nI did not notice anyone else in the cabin with me when I awoke from my swoon. I was not carried on deck. Captain Williams had been on shore sick, for two or three weeks before the vessel sailed. I heard no orders given to take to the boats, or cut away spars, to prepare for wreck in any way. I did not notice any spars floating about, when I came to the surface. I was in the water about three minutes, I think. The boat left almost directly I had been hauled into her.\n\n**WILLIAM W. CROWNINSHIELD**.\n\n**SERGE ISTOMIN, Lieutenant of H.I.R.M. ship Vzadnick, sworn, states:** I am a Russian. I am a Lieutenant in the Russian Navy. On the evening of the 24th January last, at about 10 minutes to 7, I was on the deck of the Vzadnick, in this harbour. At about 7 o'clock, I was below, and heard the sound as of a gun, but I am not aware if it was a gun, so that I didn't pay any attention to it. At 10 minutes past 7, I heard distinctly a gun. To this gun, I paid attention, as I thought it was the mail coming. By and by, I heard another gun; but so uncertain was I about the sound, and knowing that these guns may be from any man of war, I did not speak to anyone about it.\n\nTo **Mr. BARNARD**. I cannot swear that those guns were not from Yado. I do not know that I, being in harbour...",

        "content_text": "# Computation of Apparent Places\nIn computing the Apparent Places of the several stars for the several dates of observation, I have used the formula, \nCorrection to Mean R.A. (in seconds of time) = Ee + Ff + Gg + Hh + L + l-300 + qt \nwhere e, f, g, h, l are the constants for each star, given in the Nine-Year Catalogue; E, F, G, H, L the \"Airy's Day Numbers,\" given for each day in the Nautical Almanac; g the star's Annual Proper Motion in Right Ascension; and t the elapsed fraction of the year corresponding with the given date. The small correction for Daily Aberration has been neglected, as a very precise knowledge of time being, as already stated, unnecessary.\n\nSimilarly, for Apparent North Polar Distance, \nCorrection to Mean N.P.D. (in seconds of arc) = Ee' + Ff + Gg' + Hh' + L + l'-300 + q't\n\nThe Apparent Places thus found are those for Greenwich Mean Midnight of the several dates. The results, reduced to the several times of observation, are shown in **Table II**, further on, which exhibits the computations for latitude.\n\n## Routine of Observations\nThe instrument was erected on the 8th of January, and adjusted to the meridian the same evening. Observations for latitude were taken on the nights of January 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 20, 21, 23, and February 7. Clock and circumpolar stars were also observed on those nights, and the levelling of the cross-axis was carefully attended to. The times were taken with the Mean Solar Chronometer, `ARNOLD and DENT, No. 1,207`, kindly lent to me by Commodore CUMING, R.N., from H.M.S. Victor Emanuel. It has run pretty steadily. The use of a mean solar timekeeper for stellar observations introduces a great deal of unwelcome labour and complication into the reductions, but I had no alternative, as a chronometer rated to sidereal time could not be obtained.\n\nThe steadiness of the transit-instrument during frequent use and reversal is shown by the small change of the azimuth errors, which varied only from 6\".39 W. (horizontal value) on the 9th January to 67\".95 E. on the 7th February, the azimuth screws not having been touched after the first adjustment to the meridian; and it would appear from the observations that this change is mainly due to a slow progressive movement of the pier. Such steadiness of a portable instrument on a new and imperfectly isolated pier, extending over a period of 29 days, is very satisfactory.\n\n## Investigation for the Latitude\nFor the latitude reductions, the investigation is as follows :- \nLet Z and Z' be the true meridianal zenith-distances of the south and north stars respectively, d and d' their North declinations, and L the latitude of the place; then, \nL = 1/2 (d + d') + 1/2 (Z - Z')...........................................(1)\n\nNow, let z, z' be the (supposed) observed zenith-distances of the south and north stars; n, s the readings of the north and south ends of the level for the south star, and n', s' those for the north star; v the value of one division of the level, in seconds of arc; r the correction for refraction for the south star, and r' that for the north star. And let it be assumed that the horizontal position of the level is that which corresponds to the condition, correction for level == 0.\n\nThen, if (as in this case) the graduation of the level proceeds continuously from one extremity towards the object end of the telescope, the central division being 40.00, and if p, p' be the reductions to the meridian in cases where the stars have been observed before or after the meridian passage, and f, f' the corrections for flexure for either star, it follows that \nL = 1/2 (d + d') + 1/2 (m' - m)M + 1/4 {(n'-n) + (s'-s)}v + 1/2 (r-r') + 1/2 (p'-p) + 1/2 (f-f')..............(4)\n\nThis is the final expression for the latitude. As already mentioned, M = 68\".698, and v = 1.067. The correction to the meridian (p or p') may be computed by the equation, \np = 2 sin i cos L cos d / sin 1\" sin Z \nwhere i is the star's hour angle from the meridian, east or west; but it has not been necessary to use it in this case, all of the stars having been observed on the meridian, or so nearly so as not to necessitate any correction on that account. The correction for flexure, being only that which is due to the difference of the zenith distances of the two stars, is also inappreciably small, and has been neglected.\n\nThe correction for refraction, though small, is appreciable, and has been applied. It is found by the equation, \n(r-r') = {57\".7 sin (z-z') sec z} \nor, by (3), \n1/2 (r-r') = (57\".7 sin (m'-m)M sec L)\n\n## Tabulation of Results\nThe observations, reductions and results will be found embodied in the following **Table**, wherein \n| Column | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| I | date of observation |\n| II | star's name, as in Table I |\n| III | its B.A.C. number |\n| IV | its magnitude, from the Greenwich Nine-Year Catalogue for 1872 |\n| V | its position, North or South of the zenith |\n| VI | the position of the instrument, Circle East or Circle West |\n| VII | the star's Apparent Right Ascension at transit over the meridian of the place |\n| VIII, IX | the chronometer times of bisection and culmination, to the nearest second |\n| X | the interval, in chronometer time, between bisection and culmination |\n| XI | the approximate error of the chronometer for each date |\n| XII | the micrometer readings, m, m', for the two stars of each pair, in revolutions and parts |\n| XIII | the quantity (m'-m) |\n| XIV, XV | the readings of the north and south ends of the level, for both stars of each pair |\n| XVI | half the difference of the level indications for the two stars, or the quantity {(n'-n) + (s'-s)} |\n| XVII | the star's Apparent Declination at transit over the meridian |\n| XVIII | half the sum of the declinations for each pair |\n| XIX, XX, XXI | the corrections for micrometer, level and refraction, computed as already explained [see equations (4) and (5)] |\n| XXII | the resulting value of the latitude from each pair |\n\nZ = z - 1/2 (n + s - 80)v + r - p + f \nwhence, \nZ' = z' - 1/2 (n' + s' - 80)v + r' - p' + f' \nand \n1/2 (Z - Z') = 1/2 (z - z') + 1/4 {(n'-n) + (s'-s)}v + 1/2 (r'-r) + 1/2 (p'-p) + 1/2 (f-f')................(2)\n\nIn the case of the zenith-telescope, z, z' are not measured directly, but only their difference, z-z', by means of the micrometer. To find the expression for this in terms of the micrometer; let o the zenith distance corresponding to the central position of the micrometer thread; m, m' the micrometer readings for the south and north stars, in revolutions of the micrometer screw; and M the value, in seconds of arc, of one revolution of the screw. Then, for that position of the instrument in which increase of micrometer readings corresponds with decrease of zenith distance, it is plain that \nz = o - mM \nz' = o - m'M \n(z - z') = (m' - m)M................(3) \n\nIn practice, to avoid confusion of signs, this position was always adhered to. It corresponds with the precept to observe stars North of the zenith with Circle East, and those South of the zenith with Circle West.",

        "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.

Military services in the field never fail to meet with hearty appreciation from our fellow countrymen, but during the three years of my command here, I have had no opportunity of rendering such services; and although it is true, as you have been good enough to point out, that there have been several incidents in the course of that time which have called for vigilance and decision, the troubles have always blown over, and I had no reason to expect that they would live in your memories. Next to the approval of his sovereign, a soldier values the esteem of his fellow countrymen, and it is very encouraging to find that \n\n## Page 207",

No extra or additional troops have been provided during the year 1890, therefore no additional expense has been incurred. Yet we are called upon to vote the increased contribution through the Council, and in spite of the fact that circumstances have in no way changed since the date of the above Colonial Office despatch to the War Office was penned.\n\nSuch an arbitrary proceeding is not only unjust, but is calculated to bring about a constitutional crisis. There has been no unwillingness on the part of the Colony to bear its share of the burdens imposed by the Imperial Government. In the present instance a distinct promise was made to increase the garrison of the Colony. No increase has been made, but payment of an additional contribution is demanded, while no increased expenditure has been incurred. We consider the Colony should not be called upon for any extra vote until the War Office have carried out their promise to increase the garrison.\n\nWe, the unofficial members, jointly and severally protest against the action of Her Majesty's Government in increasing the Military Contribution from the Colony before an increase has been made to the garrison, and we request your Excellency to forward these addenda to Lord Knutsford, so that his Lordship may see that the pledges of the Imperial Government in regard to providing additional troops are adhered to in their entirety before the Colony is asked to pay an increased contribution.\n\nHong Kong.\n\n1st December, 1890.\n\n(Signed)\n\nP.

        "content_text": "450\n\nLent. Boys, R.E., we are specially indebted to the first officer (applause) for he was the one who volunteered, and from the 17th May to the end of the epidemic he gave up all his time (after the completion of his military duties), all his afternoons and Sundays, in assisting Mr. Crook in the disagreeable work of cleansing and disinfecting the houses. He worked unremittingly at this and also in superintending the detachment of Royal Engineers employed on that work. All who have seen him at work, as well as the Permanent Committee of the Sanitary Board, bear high testimony to his services and conduct. I would also mention Capt. Stewart, Lieut. Molesworth, and Lieut. Kelsall, also of the R.E., who did good work. Capt. Murray gave valuable assistance in the most necessary and useful work of removing those poor creatures from the filthy hovels in Taipingshan to better quarters elsewhere; and in connection with these services I would mention the name of Mr. Mitchell-Innes, who helped a great deal in overcoming many of the difficulties of removal. (Applause.) From the Navy we received eight or ten men, who did very good service. I have left myself very little time to speak of the special services rendered by Mr. May and the police. Mr. May, I think, has especially distinguished himself. (Loud applause.) It might be said that in the position which he held he could hardly have kept back, but from the very first, when he began the work with his own men, up to the end, he was unremitting in his efforts.\n\nHe had the task to organise the work of all the men, superintend the house-to-house visitation, attend to the removal of the sick from Taipingshan, and all the cleansing and disinfecting work, with a great deal of physical labour about it; and the exertion he went through and zeal he displayed are beyond all praise. (Applause.) His perseverance and courage did not for a moment desert him, even when he saw his fellow worker, Capt. Vouy, stricken down. I know myself that the first tram brought him down in the morning, and it was not until late at night that he reached his home again. I am quite sure you will agree with me that he behaved right well. To the members of the force who worked under him we are indebted for very valuable services. To the other volunteers—there were about twenty of them—who responded to the call of the Permanent Committee we are also indebted; they all more or less lent help according to their abilities and the time at their disposal. I would mention especially Mr. H. C. Nicolle, Mr. W. Blaynay, and Mr. Chesney Duncan.\n\nFrom the medical profession we always expect that where there is danger or any human suffering to be alleviated, they will be to the front. That profession has a glorious record of heroic deeds and devotedness to duty, and the members of the profession in Hongkong will not allow that reputation to be in any way lowered or sullied. Surgeon-Major James and Dr. Pauny volunteered at once, and, with Dr. Ayres and Dr. Lowson, left no stone unturned to afford every assistance science could give for the benefit of those who were combatting the disease or to those who had fallen victims to it. I must not forget to mention the Permanent Committee. They had a heavy task. They had to organise the carrying out of a great many of those measures, and they did their work well. Mr. Francis, I know, devoted a great part of his time for several months to this work, and his fellow committee men assure me of the assistance they have received from him. (Applause). I should not like to forget Mr. Crook, who had very disagreeable work to do. He worked hard and earnestly throughout the whole of the epidemic. (Applause) Nor would you wish me to pass over Capt. Hastings. (Applause.) You will no doubt remember that at one time a very serious difficulty arose with respect to the disposal of the dead.\n\nIt taxed the resources of the Sanitary Board for some time, but gruesome as was the task and repulsive as were the details, Captain Hastings stepped into the breach, and, with the assistance of some military and some seamen, he soon overcame all obstacles. Gentlemen, I have just been reminded that I have been very negligent; instead of giving the first place to the ladies I have left them to the last. It is not, however, on this occasion the least nor the lowest. They were also volunteers. This work could not have been required of them, not in the least. Anything outside the hospital was outside their contract, and not only this, but it was extra work, for their hospital duties went on all the time as usual. Yet the services of the Sisters at the Government Civil Hospital were given without a murmur; they obediently volunteered their services to nurse the sick and went forth upon their self-imposed task of mercy in the alacrity and good will and, with the greatest kindness and devotion, day after day nursed those stricken down by the plague. Do you recognise what this meant—tending the sick in the plague hospitals with all its repulsive symptoms and dangers—and yet not for one moment did one of those Sisters flinch; no risk or fear of contagion dismayed them. From first to last they performed their duty admirably. (Applause). They once more proved the truth of the great poet's words, who wrote:-\n\nWhen pain and anguish wring the brow\nA ministering angel thou.\n\nI hope that I have not forgotten anyone, but if I have the Committee you are about to appoint will certainly make up the deficiency. But long as I have detained you I will ask you for two or three minutes' indulgence in order that I may pay tribute to the memory of one who died in your service. Capt. Vesey was justly popular in his regiment. He had, I believe, everything that could make life worth living and enjoyable, and he had intended, I understand, soon to retire to live in his own country and among his old friends. It has been otherwise ordained. He obeyed the call of duty and gave a bright example to his men by the zeal and unflinching energy which he threw into this work. He stopped at the work after he should have retired from it; he was seized by the disease and he died of it. Surely that was not a soldier's death; not the one I think that we or he would have chosen. He no doubt would have preferred to have met his death at the head of his men amid the din of battle, with the shout of victory ringing in his ears to cheer him even in the throes of death itself; instead of that he died on a bed of sickness among strangers in a strange land. Let us hope that ere his gallant spirit passed away the pang of separation was mitigated, the grief of dying among strangers was softened, and he was comforted in his last moments by the thought that he had laid down his life in the service of others. He will live in our memories. We shall require no storied urn or animated bust to remind us of him, for he has erected his own monument in one year's work. But I am sure that you would wish that his services and death should remain recorded here long after we have passed away. Gentlemen, I have done. We honour ourselves in recognising such services as have been rendered to us, and in seeking to honour those to whom our gratitude is due. I know I have interpreted the feelings of this community in saying that we are most anxious to recognise those services and to show by some outward mark our great appreciation of them. I have much pleasure in proposing: That this meeting do resolve that the services rendered to this community during the recent plague by those who assisted are worthy of recognition. (Loud applause.)\n\nMr. E. MACKINTOSH—After the very able and eloquent speech we have heard from the Acting Chief Justice I am sure that there is no necessity for me to detain you at all. The resolution which has been proposed by him I am sure must appeal to the hearts of every one of us, who have of necessity been passing through this great emergency. I think there will be one responsive vote to the motion just proposed. I beg to second it.\n\nThe motion was carried with loud applause.\n\nMr. T. JACKSON—Your Excellency and gentlemen, I am sure we all fully appreciate the very eloquent speech of the mover of the first resolution just made. I am sure there is not one of us who does not thoroughly appreciate the noble band of men who first combatted the plague, for it was then a very serious matter indeed. Speaking for myself I can only remember that the lay volunteers who went into the native town to clear out those pest places were really going into the jaws of death. We have great reason to be thankful that only one—the noble Vesey—died. I am sure that the services of the Naval and Military and of the Public Works Department were...",

        "content_text": "# QUEEN'S COLLEGE, HONGKONG, ANNUAL EXAMINATION, 1896.\n\n## Report of the Examiners\n\nBoys should be taught to think out carefully the meaning of the entire piece set for translation, and of its several parts in their connection, before putting pen to paper. Some who failed rendered correctly a few detached sentences, and might with a little more care have passed.\n\n**Chinese to English.**—In the Lower Classes many boys had committed to memory, and were able to reproduce, the renderings given to them by the Masters; whilst in the higher classes there were few instances of laudable efforts at independent versions. The value of the answers would have been greater had candidates relied less on the English phrases learned in class, and more on the work done in the preparation of the lessons. That few boys are really competent to translate Chinese into English may be seen from the results of the extra prize examination. For this a sight passage was selected from the Chinese Classic of History. Twelve boys sent in papers. Two had really understood the piece and rendered it into fairly good English, securing 70 and 80 marks respectively out of a hundred. No other boy obtained more than 50 per cent.\n\n**Chinese School**—In the Chinese school marks were not awarded. All papers sent in were first examined and annotated by the native provincial graduate who assisted in this part of the examination. Those from each class were then distributed in three groups, according as they were adjudged to be of higher, medium or lower merit. There was a final selection of papers to show the best work done by each class.\n\nThe percentage of passes for the Chinese school is—Essay 30, Letter 45, Literature 30, Prosody 32, Antithetic Couplets 55.\n\nAssuming that examinations in the Chinese school are to be conducted on lines similar to those laid down for the holding of such examinations throughout China, we would call attention to the following points: -- \n\n1. Papers should be stamped for identification. Boys should not be allowed to bring into the Examination Room pieces of writing paper not uniform in size purchased at different shops. Paper of the proper kind should on the day of the examination be issued to candidates who might be charged the cost price.\n2. Boys should be required to write single characters in the proper spaces.\n3. In the Chinese school answers should be written in the order of the questions.\n\n**Trigonometry**—One boy in I. C, b. took an easy paper in Trigonometry up to the Solution of Triangles, and produced accurate and fairly complete answers.\n\n**Pupil Teachers**—We examined the Pupil Teachers in their Practical and Theoretical Work, and were satisfied that they are able to give practical assistance to the Staff.\n\n**Drawing**—Classes IV., V. and VI. were examined in Map Drawing. The best work of each class is highly creditable. Some very good specimens of Freehand Drawing, the work of the best boys, were exhibited to the examiners, but no marks were assigned.\n\nFinally, while we recognise in the work of individual boys evidence of sound and careful teaching, the general efficiency of the work appeared to us to be small. We think that boys are pushed on too rapidly, and we feel sure that more attention should be given to the teaching and the study of English. We believe that much good might be effected, and the standard of efficiency raised, if the ability and energy of the European Staff were directed more to the Chinese boys. And we are not confident that it is for the welfare of the School, or in the interests of the education of the Chinese, that the Non-Chinese boys should be in separate classes, and consequently the whole time of two European Masters given entirely to them.\n\nWe are pleased to be able to report very favourably on the discipline of the School and the general orderly behaviour of the boys. Lastly, our thanks are due to the Head Master and the Assistant Masters for their ready cooperation with us in all matters where we needed their assistance.\n\nWe have the honour,\n\nGentlemen,\n\nTo the **GOVERNING BODY OF QUEEN'S COLLEGE**,\n\nto be your obedient Servants,\n\nR.

        "content_text": "## A Typhoon in Hong Kong\n\nThe centre of the isobars, Le, is at the centre of the typhoon. The force of the wind is also different according to the dimension of the typhoon. On average, within 35 miles of the centre, the wind has force 12, at 50 miles force 11, at 75 miles force 10, at 100 miles force 9, at 125 miles force 8, at 145 miles force 7, at 180 miles force 6, at 220 miles force 5, and at 250 miles; but it blows force 6 at 300 miles from the centre.\n\nThe angle depends also upon the distance from the centre. At 25 miles it is 10 points (very uncertain), at 75 miles it is 11 points, at 125 miles it is 11¼ points, at 150 miles it is 11¾ points, at 200 miles it is 12 points. At distances greater than 300 miles, the centre bears perhaps about 15 points (very uncertain).\n\nWithin from 2 to 15 miles of the centre, the wind calms down, or nearly so, and the sky usually clears overhead, more or less, at sea (or over an island), being now covered there by only very thin clouds or haze, through which the sun or the brighter stars are visible. The sea is often seen to boil, like a cauldron. Its surface has been whipped into foam, and a lot of air has been caught by the waves. These rules fail, however, near some shores if the centre is not very close.\n\nThus there often blows a steady E gale along the S coast of China when a typhoon is crossing the China Sea. The typhoon blows into the China Sea through the Balingtang Channel and blows along the $ coast of China. If the centre is passing to the southward at a distance of several hundred miles, this reminds one of the N monsoon, but now it blows harder the lower the pressure falls, while in the NE monsoon it blows harder the higher the pressure rises.\n\nIt has been found that the calm followed some 20 miles after the lowest barometer reading, but such is not always the case, and the reverse has been suspected on more than one occasion. Very deceitful lulls occur during the raging of a typhoon. They last sometimes long enough to be mistaken for the central calm, but when the wind rises again it comes from nearly the same direction.\n\nThe diameter of the central calm in a low latitude in summer is about 4 miles, and the sea is mountainous from all directions, but farther north or late in the year the diameter reaches sometimes from 40 to 50 miles, and the sea then often goes down together with the wind. As far as Hongkong is concerned, the following table gives the details.\n\n| Wind at the Observatory | Wind at the Peak | Clouds | Centre |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| E by N | E | NE | S |\n| NNE | ΝΕ | N | SE |\n| NW by N | N |  | N |\n| W by N |  | E | E |\n| SW by W | NW by W (?) | NW by W | NW by W |\n| S by W | NE | W by S | WSYW |\n| SE by S | W by S | WSW | N |\n| ESE | SW by S | SW by S | SW by S |\n| W | NW | S by E | S |\n|  | S | W | SE by S |\n|  | SE | SE | SW |\n|  |  | N | N |\n\nWhen the wind rises in a typhoon it blows in gusts and the mercury heaves in the barometer. When the wind has reached force 11 it blows in fierce squalls of sometimes about 10 minutes' duration, while the mercury heaves up and down as much as a tenth of an inch. The mercury gives a jump upwards as the wind begins to veer in a squall. Then it drops down and gives another upward jump as the wind comes back to nearly its old direction.\n\nThe wind does not return to quite the former direction, except just in front of the centre. At times when the centre is nearest, a fierce squall is usually felt, and in that squall the direction of wind changes considerably, and the barometer begins to rise.\n\nAs the air comes rushing down the rain drops evaporate in the hotter stratum near the earth's surface, and owing to the increased tension of water-vapour, the barometer (after a fall caused by the cold of evaporation) begins to rise. The wind veers towards the direction of the wind above, which latter is known from the motion of the clouds.\n\nIt is a fact that more damage to vessels is caused by the fearful seas than by the wind. Fortunately, masters of ships are now making use of oil to calm the waves, a remedy which has been used with good effect for the last three thousand years. Thick oil is best—mineral oil is of no use—and it should be allowed to ooze out of canvas bags half full of cotton waste and slung from the weather bow, or it may be left to ooze out of other openings, such as water-closets.\n\nOn shore, perhaps as much damage is caused by rain as by wind; but, of course, the former gives impetus to the latter. The wind blowing from all sides into the centre raises the level of the sea there, and the sea-surface is also raised about a foot for every inch the barometer falls below its height outside of the typhoon.\n\nThe incurvature of the wind in a typhoon depends upon the monsoon. In May, June, July, August the angle between the wind (direction whence coming) and the bearing of the centre is 10 points in front of the centre, 10 points in the right-hand quadrant, 12 points behind the centre, 11¼ points in the left-hand quadrant. During September, October, and November it is 11 points in front, 11 to the right, 12 in rear, and 11 points to the left.\n\nThis shows that the monsoon blows towards the centre and combines with the cyclonic winds. It will be remarked that the wind blows across the path in front and helps a vessel to run across the path in front of the centre, keeping straight. In rear, the wind blows more strongly towards the centre.",

        "content_text": "# \nThe Chinsbakiang has not yet been completely explored. In the region near Likiang (one day distant from the right bank) the trend of the river is S., but it is uncertain whether in turning from this direction the stream flows N. or E. Garnier, Hosie, Gill, and others have represented it as bending E. and then N.E. Hosie crossed what he believed to be the Chinsha at Chin-chiangkai, a point 3 days N. of Tali, and connected therewith by a road that appears to have offered no great difficulties. According to M. Bonin, a recent French explorer, the river, below the angle it makes near Likiang, takes a wide sweep to the N., so as to avoid a great mountain mass, goes to within a day's journey of Yungning-tu-Fu, and then turns S. through Yungpei, S. of which it again flows E., after receiving the Paishuikiang on its right bank. M. Grenard has stated, on the authority of letters from M. Bonin, that the Chincha receives the Yalung in lat. 28° instead of lat. 26° 35\", as is generally supposed. Bonin regards the stream which Hosie supposed to be the Chinshia as only a small tributary, though Hosie says it is about 300 yards broad. Garnier found that the natives gave the name Paishui to the Yalung, and also to a part of the Chinsha, and it is possible that Bonin has been misled by names. Dr. Anderson, a missionary who struck the Chinsha in 1891 a few li above its confluence with the Yalung, speaks of it as making an immense curve to the S. before joining the Yalung, in order to avoid a large rocky mountain. Mr. Hosie, on inquiry of the ferrymen at Chinchiangkai (a name suggesting that the river he saw is the Chinsha), was informed that the stream is not navigable. So far as can be ascertained, the Chinsha below Chinchiangkai flows through profound and precipitous gorges, and is troubled with a strong current, and with numerous and dangerous rapids. According to Garnier the river between Likiang and Mengku is utilised only for the transport of pieces of wood cut in the forests near Likiang, and it is necessary to take the rafts to pieces to get over the rapids. Garnier thought that from Machang to Hougponso, and even a little below, boat traffic would be easy, except for one considerable rapid which is almost a fall. The stream is here sinuous, and encased by perpendicular cliffs which reach a great altitude near Machang. The Yalung, which is unnavigable, joins the Chinsha about 9 miles W.N.W. of Hongpouso, and its mouth is \"a sort of accidental hiatus in the belt of hills which border the Chinsha.\" Garnier did not follow the river in its great S. bend between Hongpouso and Mengku, but traversed very mountainous country and passed through the important commercial and mining centre of Huilichou, situated in a beautiful valley. At Mengku he learned that the rapids above and below the town stopped navigation at a short distance. Near Mengku the sugar cane flourishes, as in many other parts of the Chiusha valley. Below Mengku, says Garnier, there are real difficulties of navigation, rapids being caused down to Sui-Fu by the falling in of the rocky cliffs which enclose the river, under the action of torrents formed during the rainy season. It is said that the Chinese Government formerly spent considerable sums in order to get rid of the rapids.\n\nThe immense depths of the gorges through which the Chinsha has cut its way in N. Yunnan and W. Ssuchuan, and the extraordinary freaks played by its tributaries on the right bank, have prevented the course of the river below the Yalung from being thoroughly ascertained. Garnier speaks of the rivers in this limestone country as passing over one another, splitting in two, and changing from one basin to another. Apparently the Chinsha here reaches its lowest latitude, 26° N. The strength of the stream and the height of the banks prevent its being much used for boat traffic even in the few portions where no dangers exist. The gorges culminate near the Sunbridge, where the precipices rise 8,000 feet above the river. At Wawu the river is 490 feet broad. Baber found no shoals or sandbanks here, and navigation was said to be safe and easy for 30 to 40 miles higher up, while half a day's journey lower down all boat passage is barred by a succession of dangerous cataracts. The fall of the river from Wawu to Huangkuoshu is six feet per mile, and thence to Pingshan about three feet. Baber says he saw enough of the Chinshakiang to know that it cannot be navigated, except with frequent transhipments, further a few miles above Huichi, and M. Brenier states that an old sonary, who spent 32 years in Ssuchuan, confirmed Baber's opinion.\n\nIt is worth noting that the name Yangtze is applied by the Chinese only to the lower reaches of the river, from a little above Hankow to the mouth. Higher up, Chinshakiang, Takiang, and Changkiang are the names adopted. It is important to know whether the Chinese, in recognising the Yangtze as one sphere influence, refer to the whole course of the river, or only ...\n\n## \nPT. 1.\nH. J. T.\n568 \n579",

        "content_text": "## \n\nrespectively are demanded. Of the two (VIII) is the better, as it has a river frontage, and is not so shut in as (VII); but both require to be raised some 2 or 3 feet. Seeing, however, that the principal objects in crossing the river would be to obtain a healthy site, and one quite beyond the reach of floods, I would strongly advise the purchase of a piece of land in front of (X). The range of hills on which it is situated is about 200 feet high, and runs down into the angle formed by the two river banks, so that it would be difficult to find a more commanding position.\n\nThe recommendations in favour of building there are: complete immunity from all malarial poisoning, extreme coolness in summer, a charming outlook over both rivers, and, what is most important of all, very low initial cost of purchase.\n\nThe drawbacks, on the other hand, are:-\n\n1. Distance from the custom-house and steamers, as it is presumed the latter will not abandon their present ground (distance from Customs two-thirds of a mile, from steamers one-third of a mile).\n2. Enhanced cost of building, estimated at 60 per cent, over ordinary rates, in order to cover coolie hire conveying material to the hill-top.\n3. The necessity of building a road and contriving some means by which to haul up water.\n4. An outlay on trees to shelter the buildings, the hill-top at present being quite bare.\n\nAs regards objection 1, it will be necessary to keep a gig, for when the river is in flood the small local sampans cannot stem the tide, and are by no means safe. As regards objection 2, it has to be borne in mind that building on this side would involve filling in and raising of ground to a greater or less extent, and I think that when the greatly increased initial cost of purchase and the expense of such operations are taken into account, it will be found that the balance is considerably in favour of the hill-site.\n\nThe cost of 3 and 4 would fall jointly on all holders of ground on the hill, and as the Commissioner of Customs contemplates building a residence there, would be divided up amongst at least three parties. It is, moreover, likely that, were a foreign settlement established there, it would not be impossible to induce the officials and gentry of the town to reconstruct the bridge of boats which anciently spanned the Fu River. Thus the difficulty of access would be almost entirely removed, except during the summer months, when the whole business quarter and the main street are under water, and the only means of going about on this side is a sampan. Could one be absolutely certain that the bridge of boats would be re-established, and kept in an efficient state of repair, Jardine, Matheson, and Co. would be prepared to give up the idea of occupying their land near the Yu-ti Temple, and would move across the Fu River, provided they could get the Customs to go with them.\n\nIn the absence of a bridge the custom-house must remain on this side, but (11) is nearly a mile away from the centre of business, and although merchants would, of course, be compelled to go there, and having once got there Jardine, Matheson, and Co.'s office would be next door, yet both that firm and the Commissioner feel that they would be disadvantageously situated.\n\nThe best position for a custom-house under existing conditions would undoubtedly be either on (III) or on the foreshore west of the first creek; but were the bridge built, and the custom-house located on (VII) or (VIII), the Chinese merchant would suffer no inconvenience, and in many instances be nearer thereto than if it were placed anywhere else.\n\nThis I venture to think is a fair statement of the arguments for and against the hill site, and personally I am distinctly in favour thereof. Sufficient data have, however, been given for the formation of an independent judgment.\n\nI have only to add that, should it be approved, no time should be lost in acquiring land and commencing to build.\n\nMy present abode is a pavilion in front of the main hall of the temple, 35 feet long by 15 wide. Ten feet thereof have been divided off by a wooden partition to constitute a bedroom, and the rest is office, dining, and sitting room. The servants are housed in mat sheds on an open terrace alongside.\n\nThe whole front is open, having ten wooden venetians to keep out sun and rain, and 17 feet at the back are in the usual style of Chinese buildings of this class, the lower half boards, and the upper half ornamental open woodwork. Squalls, accompanied by driving rain, necessitate the closing of all venetians, and one has to sit in complete darkness until the wind ceases and the rain descends vertically.\n\nThe height of the pavilion is 15 ft. 6 in., and it is paved with brick. It can therefore be easily imagined how difficult it will be to render it habitable in the winter, which I am told is more severe than in Canton, and the cold of which is likely to prove more penetrating.\n\nAll the front and open woodwork at the back, 3 ft. 10 in. high, will have to be boarded up, and at least three windows, corresponding to the present height of the venetians (6 ft. 3 in.), inserted in the boarding of the former. Even then it will be airy and draughty in the extreme, and a stove of the largest size will be required to keep it reasonably warm.\n\nWhatever means are adopted, it will be necessary to make the best of things, as no other quarters are available, and one will have to put up with the present one until a Consulate is built.\n\n**J. W. JAMIESON, Acting Consul**\n\nWuchow, September 28, 1897.\n\n(Signed)\n\n## Inclosure 3 in No. 1\n\nSketch Map\n\n[Not printed.]",

If, then, the starting point of the line and also the principle governing its direction be accepted, it only remains to determine the proper frontage lines giving the angle to be bisected.\n\nIt appears to the Army Council as at present advised that the proper frontage of the Imperial Government's land is defined by a straight line drawn from the extreme front of Wellington Battery to the N.W. corner of Arsenal Street. It would seem, however, from the letter of 1st October 1902 from the General Officer Commanding to the Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong that the line locally adopted by the Colonial and Military Authorities was a straight line drawn from the N.E. corner of Murray Road (as existing previous to the formation of the Western Praya Reclamation) to the N.W. corner of Arsenal Street (as widened). This also appears to be the line taken by the Governor in estimating the length of the Imperial Government's frontage as given in para:4 of his despatch No.523 now under consideration, and the plan C annexed thereto.\n\nIn",

        "content_text": "## Inclosure 3 in No. 1\n\nYou will observe that the Return officially establishes the fact that at two points at least—Mong-kha (Hsi-ming) and Leng-k'an—the Chinese continue to maintain garrisons on the western side of \"Scott's Line.\" It is noted in the original Return that this disposition of the P'u-ting Right Battalion dates from before the foray of the Wild Wa last winter.\n\nTing Chih-tai, in sending me the Return, expressed a wish that I would supply him with a similar list of the military posts maintained by Burmah along the K'a-wa Pale, and, in view of his Excellency's courtesy in acceding to my request for a Return of the Chinese forces, I trust that your Government will see its way to providing me with such list for transmission to the Governor-General. As regards the position, at any rate, of the British posts there can, I imagine, be no secrecy, and our claim to \"Scott's Line\" is independent of the question of actual administration.\n\nTing Ta-jèn would, I gather, be prepared to consider suggestions for concerted action against the Wa, though his inclination is to regard the Wa Hills as a district independent both of Yunnan and of Burmah, much as the Lolo country on the left bank of the Yang-tze, opposite Chao-t'ung Prefecture, is, in effect, independent both of Szechuan and of Yunnan. It has not, apparently, occurred to him that the acceptance by his Government of \"Scott's Line\" would make Burmah liable for all damages caused by Wa forays into Yünnan territory.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)  \nW. H. WILKINSON,\n\n## Return showing the Stations of the Regular and the Local Battalions of Chenpien\n\n(Translation.)\n\n1. The Pu-ting Front Battalion (\"ying\").—The Centre, Rear, and Left Companies (\"shao\"), are stationed at the main camp of Nan-ch'a; the Front Company at Chan-ma-p'o; the Right Company at Nan-tai.\n\n2. The Pu-ting Left Battalion.—The Centre and Left Companies are posted on the bank of the Na-cha-t River, in Mien-ning Sub-Prefecture; the Right Company at San-ch'a-lu (\"Three Cross Roads\"); the Front Company at Chenpien; the Rear Company at Ssü-mao.\n\n3. The Chingpien Local Battalion.—The Centre Company is stationed at the main camp of Nan-wa; the Left Company at Siao (\"Lesser\") An-kang; the Right Company at Shang (\"Upper\") Kai-hsin; the Front Company at Chenpien Town; while the Rear Company is partly at Tien-pa, partly at the Nan-pen Hill.\n\nNOTE.—These three battalions were stationed at the above posts (from Nan-ch'a to the Nan-pen Hill) after the foray of the Wa last winter.\n\n4. The Pu-ting Right Battalion.—One picket (\"p'eng\") of the Centre Company is stationed at Chenpien Town; the remaining four pickets of this company are at Leng-k'an. The Left Company is stationed at Man-law; the Right at Kung-hsin; the Front at Hsi-ming; the Rear at Lung-k'an.\n\n[NOTE.—This battalion was stationed at the above posts (from Chenpien Town to Lung-k'an) previous to the Wa foray of last winter.]\n\n### Notes by Translator\n\n1. P'u-ting is the name of the battalion, derived from the \"P'u\" of Pu-erh (the Prefecture in which Ssü-mao is situated) and \"ting\" (to settle); so Chingpien comes from \"ching\" (to tranquillize) and \"pien\" (the frontier).\n\n2. Battalions (\"ying\") in the Chinese Army are distinguished as (a) \"chung\" (the centre); (b) \"tso\" (the left); (c) \"yu\" (the right); (d) \"chien\" (the front); (e) \"hou\" (the rear).  \n   Each battalion contains five companies (\"shao\"), similarly distinguished. In the same way, each company is divided into five pickets (\"p'eng\").  \n   Properly speaking, a battalion should consist of 500 men; so that a company should number 100 and a picket 20. In Yunnan Province, 70 men are reckoned to the company, and often only 10 to the picket. The numbers actually employed, moreover, would vary with the venality of the Commanding Officer.\n\nPage 356\n\n3. Nan-ch'a will be found marked (as Nan-cha) in both Chinese and English on Inclosures Nos. 4 and 10 to the `Report on the Work of the Burmah-China Boundary Commission, Season 1899-1900` (Political Department, No. `B.C. 1900—7`).  \n   Chan-ma-p'o I can find on none of the maps in my archives, unless, as is most probable, it is to be identified with Cha-ma-p'o in `Survey of India, Yunnan Province`, Sheet No. 4 S.E. (Reg. No. `797-8./03`), at about latitude 22° 52′ north, longitude 99° 45′ east.  \n   Nan-tai I cannot discover.  \n   Mien-ning Sub-Prefecture is adjacent to Chenpien Sub-Prefecture, on the north. It should be shown on Sheet No. 12 N.W., which is not in my archives.  \n   San-ch'a-lu cannot be identified here.  \n   Nan-wa appears as in Inclosure No. 10 and as in Inclosure No. 4 (latitude 23°, longitude 99° 50′). An An-kang is marked just below it (as in Inclosure No. 10, and as in Inclosure No. 4. There is another An-kang north-east of Nan-ch'a (see tracing of the map of Chenpien Sub-Prefecture, inclosed with my despatch No. 11, Burmah, of 1905); but the \"Lesser An-kang\" of the Return is probably that of Inclosures Nos. 4 and 10.  \n   Shang Kai-hsin will be found on the same tracing of the Sub-Prefecture, due north of Chenpien Town, and in latitude 23° 14′.  \n   Tien-pa is almost certainly the Tien-pa of Captain Renny-Tailyour's `Rough Map to accompany the Commissioner's Report` (Political Department, `B.C. 1900—7`), in latitude 22° 41', longitude 99° 54′.  \n   The Nan-pen Hill I cannot identify.  \n   Leng-k'an is marked almost due north of Meng-ma on Inclosure No. 10. Man-law appears on the map of Chenpien immediately to the north of Shang Kai-hsin, of which it may be a Shan or Lolo equivalent.  \n   Kung-hsin is marked on the same map in the angle between the Nam-ma and Nam-kha Rivers. It is probably the Kawn-hin of Sheet No. 4 S.E.  \n   Hsi-ming is the well-known Mong-hka (see Report of the Boundary Commission, as above, and compare Inclosures Nos. 4 and 10).  \n   Lung-k'an I cannot discover.\n\nA reference to Inclosures Nos. 4 and 10 of the Boundary Commission Report for 1900 will show that, out of the places identified as above, two at least—namely, Hsi-ming (Mong-hka) and Leng-k'an (probably the Lon-kham of Sheet No. 4 S.E.)—lie to the west of \"Scott's Line.\" In other words, the Chinese are certainly maintaining military posts, though of no great strength, in part of the territory claimed for Burmah.\n\nIt is only right to add, however, that these posts are on the east of the frontier as claimed by the Chinese Commissioners in 1900, and that \"Scott's Line\" has never been admitted, even as a provisional boundary, by the Governments of China and Yunnan.\n\n(Signed)  \nW. H. WILKINSON,  \nConsul-General.\n\nYunnan-fu, July 28, 1905.\n\nPage 44",

        "content_text": "13\n\n12\n\nan alternative to the 51. In the same report, M. de Rijke suggested, as improvement of the river below Upper Gough, the cutting of an entirely new channel from this point to the Yang-tsze. Whatever may be the engineering aspect of this proposal, it was abandoned as impracticable, in consequence of the opposition which was anticipated from the Chinese authorities, to the removal of the mouth of the river from the neighbourhood of Woosung, where forts had been constructed and custom-houses established, and also on the ground that, by the adoption of the project, Woosung, itself a treaty port and important native town, would have been cut off from the sea.\n\nMessrs. Franzius and Bates' Report.\n\n52. In 1902 a German engineer, M. Ludwig Franzius, in conjunction with an American engineer, Mr. Lindon W. Bates, submitted a general report on the river, and put forward, as an alternative to M. de Rijke's scheme, a proposal for the development of the Ship Channel as the main navigation track to Shanghai. One of the principal contentions in this report was that the Ship Channel could be improved and maintained at much less cost than the Junk Channel.\n\nVI—FINAL SCHEME OF IMPROVEMENTS.\n\n53. As already stated (paragraph 26), it was not until 1905 that it was definitely decided to improve the river, and that M. de Rijke was appointed engineer-in-chief. An entirely new survey was proceeded with, it being found, in some reaches, that great changes had occurred.\n\n54. M. de Rijke was not requested to submit a general plan of the works to be constructed prior to the same being commenced, nor was an estimate of their cost prepared, the improvements being carried out generally on the lines laid down in his 1898 report, no modifications of any magnitude or importance being considered, by reason of such changes in the river as had taken place in the meantime.\n\nCommencement of Works.\n\n55. The works were commenced early in 1907, those portions which appeared at the moment to require priority in attention being first taken in hand, the most important being the training works at Woosung and those at the lower end of Gough Island.\n\nThe latter were necessary for the maintenance of Ship Channel and the depth of water over the Inner Bar as then existing, until the time arrived for opening the Junk Channel for navigation. Other subsidiary works for confining or enlarging the channel were also designed at Pheasant Point, Pootung Point, and the Chinese city at Shanghai, as well as many small protective works to the banks at threatened places.\n\n\"Normal Lines.”\n\n56. From the upper limit of the river near Kiangnan Arsenal to the Yang-tsze \"normal lines\" were laid down by M. de Rijke, the width between the same being based on that of the stream in Black Point Reach, which was considered to be the best naturally maintained portion of the river below Shanghai. M. de Rijke's proposals included the cutting back or bringing forward of the low-water margin to confine the stream as far as practicable within the \"normal lines.\" These lines have been adopted by the Whangpoo Conservancy Board, and all structures such as wharves erected in the river, have rightly to be carried out in conformity with the same.\n\nVII—DESCRIPTION OF WORKS ALREADY MENTIONED.\n\n57. The works referred to in this section are shown upon the accompanying drawings Nos. 1 and 2, those coloured green are entirely or almost entirely completed, those coloured red are further proposals considered essential by M. de Rijke but not yet commenced.\n\n58. It should here be mentioned that in the following description the term 'parallel work\" is applied to any structures lying longitudinally with the axis of the stream, whilst the expression \"crib\" is used for any structure at a right angle to the river bank. A \"crib work\" is a combination of a length of \"parallel work\" with one or more \"cribs.\"\n\n59. Generally speaking, the whole of the training works have been carried out on the Dutch system of mattresses loaded and protected with rubble stone. The various forms of fascine work comprising \"zinkstuks,\" \"gabbioni,\" \"laag work,\" referred to in the following paragraphs are described in detail in the appendix to this report.*\n\n60. We propose, in the first instance, to describe the works mentioned above and coloured green, being those which are already either completed or well in progress.\n\nWoosung Fort Jetty.\n\n61. The works at Woosung consist of a training pier known as \"Fort Jetty,\" commencing at the shore lines on the left bank of the river and projecting for a length of about 4,500 feet towards the Yang-tsze, on a curve of 75,000 feet radius. The object of this work is to confine the tidal flow over the site of the outer bar, and to cause the currents to have a true lead into and out of the Whangpoo. At the inner end of the jetty a small \"work harbour\" has been formed for the accommodation of craft engaged in connection with the improvement works. The jetty has also been extended up the river on the \"normal line\" a short distance above the \"work harbour,\" where it is connected with the shore, at its upper end, by a strong crib. A considerable area has been reclaimed at the root of the \"Fort Jetty,\" between the latter and the original shore-line northward of the \"work harbour\" by means of dredgings from the Junk Channel deposited there.\n\n62. Both the jetty and the walls of the \"work harbour\" and sea dyke are built upon \"zinkstuk\" mattresses. The upper part of the jetty is composed of a stone covering, finished with a protective coating of 5-ton concrete blocks. Six rows of piles are driven longitudinally on the line of the jetty which serve to keep in place the stone covering and the concrete blocks.\n\n63. The \"work harbour\" is still being dredged, but the deposit of silt within the enclosure is so rapid that the contractors are experiencing difficulty in providing the required depth of 6 feet at low-water ordinary spring tide simultaneously over the entire area of the basin. The shore-line up-stream of the \"work harbour\" on the concave, or Woosung, side is protected as far as the new railway bund, by Chinese pile and timber work having a stone apron.\n\n64. The whole of the foregoing works, which were practically complete at the commencement of this year, were carried out under a lump-sum contract by the East Asiatic Dredging Company, the price being 1,997,798 Shanghai taels. To this sum must be added 23,326 Shanghai taels for extra works, making the total cost 2,021,124 Shanghai taels.\n\nTraining Works at Gough Island.\n\n65. The works at Gough Island, especially those at the upper end, constitute the most important feature of the improvements which have been carried out on the Whangpoo. The main object of these works was the closing of the Ship Channel and the radical improvement of the Junk Channel by concentrating the whole energy of the tidal movement in the latter.\n\nLow Gough Works.\n\n66. To effect these objects a parallel work of training-bank has been formed at the northern end of the island, on a foundation of \"zinkstuks,\" stretching towards the Yang-tsze for a distance of 5,400 feet. Extending up-stream from the mainland near Pheasant Point, a second parallel work has been constructed, also formed mostly of \"zinkstuks\" and joined to the shore by a crib. The opening between the ends of these two main parallel banks is 1,400 feet in width, and whilst these works are of assistance in directing the tidal flow into Junk Channel, the considerable width of the opening between the ends of the banks permits, for such time as is desirable, of the easy ingress and egress of tidal water into what is now a cul-de-sac, formerly the site of the old Ship Channel, which under existing conditions will in course of time naturally silt up.\n\n[2958 hA--1]\n\n* Not printed.\n\nF\n\n400",

On the same day he officially acknowledged my Despatch of 27th without any protest or comment. I at once wrote him a long demi-official letter dated 31st May, 1911, detailing what I have already described in this Despatch regarding the private interview between myself and the Viceroy at Canton, Mr. Tei Han's visit, and the consequential arrangements, and expressing my regret that by an oversight he had not been more fully informed.\n\n15. While I thus verbally and in writing expressed to the Consul-General my regrets for an oversight, and did my best to remedy it by informing him fully, and while I have in addition expressed to Your Excellency my regret that the reply on the subject of extradition did not take the form of an official letter to the Consul-General I may perhaps invite your attention to the extract from Mr. Jamieson's letter which I have quoted above. The result of the informal negotiations was to arrive at a complete and very satisfactory arrangement in an unprecedentedly short space of time regarding a matter which urgently demanded solution, and the urgency of which was greatly enhanced by the revolutionary outbreak at Canton. Mr. Jamieson somewhat naively observes that had the matter been in his hands he would have used it in order to extort from the Viceroy a concession on a totally different question - a question of which I have no knowledge and on which I have not been consulted. The result would have been no doubt to complicate and delay the issue, and to considerably diminish that feeling of gratitude which the Viceroy has repeatedly informed me he entertains for what has been done.\n\n16.

        "content_text": "## Question 13\nState any additional particulars necessary to show the existing and contemplated capacity of the port \n(a) in general, \n(b) for the accommodation of vessels of large size and deep draught.\n\n(Note.—In answer to this question brief details should be given of important schemes of improvement now in progress or in contemplation, and of their estimated cost, in so far as they have not been given in reply to Question 11)\n\n### Capetown\nA scheme prepared in August, 1912, and submitted to, and approved by, the Government provides for the following scheme of improvement:\n\n(1) Creation of two berths at the existing No. 2 jetty in the Victoria basin, 640 ft. long and with a depth of 36 ft. (L.W.O.S.T.). \n(2) Creation of two berths at the existing No. 3 jetty in the Victoria Basin, 680 ft. long and with a depth of 38 ft. (L.W.O.S.T.). \n(3) Construction of a new berth outside the present East Pier, 786 ft. long and with a depth of 40 ft. (L.W.O.S.T.). \n(4) Construction of several additional deep water berths in a new basin to the east of the Victoria Basin with a depth of 40 ft. (L.W.O.S.T.). The entrance to this basin will be 300 ft. wide. The whole scheme is estimated to cost £3,048,160.\n\n### Durban\nReclamation of 60 acres of land at Congella has been started, and it is proposed to provide accommodation there for deep draught vessels. The full scheme contemplates:\n| Item | Description | Dimension |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| (1) | Berthage for 12 ships (on the bay principle) | each berth to be 700 ft. in length |\n| (2) | One long berth on the old quay wall | 1,800 ft. in length |\n| (3) | A further berth in the vicinity of the graving dock |  |\n| (4) | A graving dock | Length: 1,030 ft. 0 in., Breadth: 110 ft. 0 in., Depth over sill: 38 ft. 6 in. (H.W.O.S.T.) |\n\nIt is intended to dredge each of the bays to 40 ft. (L.W.O.S.T.) at the commencement, but to dredge the remainder of the new work, and the channel, as the shipping requires it. The whole scheme (exclusive of the graving dock) is estimated to cost £2,000,000, and the graving dock an additional £750,000.\n\n### UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA\n\n#### East London (Buffalo Harbour)\nApproval has already been given to the expenditure of £160,000 on improvements to the harbour, viz., £150,000 for extending the south breakwater and £10,000 for removing the submerged rock (for which see answer to question 1). Further works estimated to cost £360,000, are still awaiting sanction. They consist of (a) the extension of the south breakwater for a further 500 ft., (b) the construction of a new east breakwater, (c) the removal of the present east pier and of the remains of the wreck \"Lucy.\"\n\n#### Port Elizabeth (Algoa Bay)\nA scheme has been submitted to the Railway Board for enclosing the port with breakwater to the south, stretching from the end of the Dom Pedro Jetty. It is proposed as a first instalment to add 1,000 to 1,500 ft. of breakwater, which will bring it out to a depth of 36 ft. (L.W.O.S.T.) and subsequently to bring the breakwater round to an angle towards the north, in order to shelter the present jetties. The estimated cost of the breakwater is £1,300,000.",

They\n\nsaid that they were working for the Canton syndicate and I think there\n\nis little doubt that in a sense they were. In one case they undertook\n\nto take the opium to Canton in a Chinese Gunboat.\n\n12. A large quantity of opium has been purchased in India for\n\nKexico. The money for this has been paid by Hongkong Chinese interested\n\nin the syndicate. Joseph Gould I believe effected the purchases in\n\nCalcutta through M. Sassoon and both are known to me in connection withi\n\nPersian opium smuggling. The opium has been shipped to Kobe and a\n\nspecial steamer is being chartered to take the opium from there. I\n\nunderstand that at some period the opium will be brought to this neigh-\n\n-bourhood and transferred to Chinese Gunboats outside the waters of the\n\nColony. 250 chests are now on the sea and I believe there are 200 cheste already in Mexico for which Canton is the destination. Lee Hyson of the Yu Hing opium case is I believe at the back of this particular venture.\n\n13. Attempts are being made to get Persian opium lying in the Colony into Kuangtung. The method to be employed is the old one of substitution. One such attempt was made recently, the opium being removed from E. D. Sassoon's go down to Kowloon Godowns for no other reason but to attempt substitution in the harbour. I issued a permit, but had the opium conveyed across the harbour in the Revenue Launch. The applicant accompanied the opium, but had no idea of how to proceed on arriving in Kowloon. I have also heard of negotiations for the purch:ee of a considerable quantity of opium from Hemazee. This is to go up to Canton, in a gunboat, though nominally the export is to London. Nemazee is demanding a price very considerably higher than that which he could get in London, but beyond this will have no share in the transaction.\n\n14. It is said that supplies will also come from Kwongchauwan and\n\nMacao,\n\nand that smuggling from these places will have official protect-\n\n-ion. Some of the Macao Farm have share in the syndicate. The brokers for the Blue Funnel smuggling also expect assistance.\n\n(Sd.) R. 0. Hutchison,\n\nS.I.E.\n\n26.11.15.",

Before seeking our assistance the Gabelle should enforce its tax of $2.50 per picul at the sources of production within its own territory.\n\nApart from the possibility of their attracting salt-using trades away from Hong Kong, Macao and Kwong Chau Van are almost certain to defeat any measures which Hong Kong may take for the protection of China. It is so with opium. Hong Kong makes strenuous efforts to prevent any opium, even her own \"Government\" opium from reaching China. Meanwhile the Macao Farmer openly boils large quantities of opium \"for export\" to destinations not stated, but none the less obvious and Kwong Chau Wan sells several hundred chests of raw opium annually to a population which probably does not smoke a chest a month. Kwong Chau Wan appears to produce considerable quantities of salt and Macao can draw precising from her and as indicated in the e/paragraph, from China.\n\nFor the credit of British administration Hong Kong will, of course, be bound to administer the salt-law whole-heartedly once it is passed. China, on the other hand will shew no such zeal. The Gabelle will no doubt do its utmost, but other Chinese departments will not. A few months ago a prominent opium-monger was able to defeat our precautions and those of the Chinese Maritime Customs by procuring gunboats belonging to some Chinese department to carry raw opium to Canton. It will be the same with salt. It is in fact notorious that Chinese official craft are constantly smuggling salt. A memorandum on salt-smuggling in the Kongmun District, forwarded to His Excellency the Governor by Sir Richard Dane under the date 28th April 1915 contains the following statement by the Tidesurveyor at Kongmun:-\n\n\"Events and personal observation have proved to me that the extensive salt-smuggling carried on in this district",

From the point of view of wireless technics the Marconi Company's proposal is much too vague to allow of useful comment. Even the method of transmission to be adopted is not specified, but the possibility of the generation of powerful currents by the use of valves is mentioned. This we note with special interest, since on the Company's staff are several technicians of high competence in the design and use of valves. The suggestion of a Central Control Office is in accordance with modern practice. Distant control has been carried out in America, it is being planned in France, and the Post Office is arranging to operate the Leafield Station at first from Banbury and ultimately from the Central Telegraph Office in London. In any modern scheme the operators for both transmitting and receiving would be located at one point. An extreme claim is made for the \"Franklin type of aerial,\" namely, that \"so great is its importance that the scheme of wireless communications outlined in this Proposal depends fundamentally upon its adoption.\" The only Franklin patents we can trace of the nature suggested are No. 24098 of 1914 and No. 5783 of 1915. If these constitute the basis of the above claim it would appear probable that other methods of accomplishing the same object are known to wireless science. All such methods are based upon the employment of loop aerials, as explained hereafter. So far has this been developed that, following experiments carried out by the United States navy with the so-called \"barrage receiver,\" Dr. Alexanderson, the American expert, has recently described an arrangement for a world-wide wireless scheme apparently identical in a large degree with that stated by the Marconi Company to be possible only by the use of the Franklin patent. He says: \"The practical conclusion follows that the transmitting stations as well as receiving stations for each district should be grouped in centres, and these centres located relatively so as to make the directive neutralisation as effective as possible.\" We regret not to have been afforded the opportunity of examining Mr. Franklin upon this matter, and upon the results of his invention, if it has been adopted anywhere in practice.\n\n33. Passing from this topic we now proceed to consider further aspects of an Imperial wireless scheme. Hitherto, we have dealt almost exclusively with the transmission of wireless signals. The methods and results on the receiving side exhibit at least an equal advance during the past five years, owing to the development of the valve, and an acquaintance with the general principle involved is necessary for the appreciation of the latest wireless practice. When a valve is used for reception, the electronic current passing from filament to plate (see section 11 (d)) under the influence of a steady electrical tension is greatly modified by a feeble oscillating current - in other words, by an incoming wireless signal - applied between filament and grid. Thus, by the action of this relay or amplifier, the feeble arriving current is reproduced on a magnified scale and produces a sound in a telephone corresponding to each signal received; or, when further amplified by the same process repeated, is made to actuate automatic recording apparatus.\n\nany\n\nThe valve in use to-day for wireless reception differs hardly at all from the type produced by the French Télégraphie Militaire early in the war, of which hundreds of thousands were used by the Allied forces. By its means, using a number of valves in cascade, enormous amplification of signals is possible, enabling any transmitting station to be heard at a greatly increased distance, or conversely, a much smaller transmitting power to be used for the same distance. This amplification has also rendered possible the reception of signals upon loop aerials - that is, inductive coils of wire wound on small frames - without the need of aerials supported upon high masts or of earth connection. As a striking example of very great amplification of received signals by the use of valves, together with the employment of a loop aerial, we may say that the signals of Annapolis, U.S.A., have been audibly received in Paris, 3,800 miles distant, upon a coil of wire only 10 inches in diameter, the complete receiving apparatus standing upon a desk. Indeed, all scientific wireless reception to-day is by valves, and the use of elevated aerials for reception of long-distance signals may soon be abandoned altogether.\n\nThe loop aerial possesses a further characteristic of great importance in a general scheme of wireless communication. When the incoming wave is in the plane of the loop, the signals are at their maximum; when the loop is at right angles to the incoming wave, the signals disappear. As the loop is rotated, the signals vary in intensity, and the position of maximum intensity indicates the plane of propagation of the signal-wave. The co-ordination of two loop-aerial stations some distance apart\n\n19\n\ngives the point of origin. This is the principle of direction-finding, by which ships in fog are now given their exact position by wireless from the shore, and by which Zeppelins were guided across the North Sea. It will thus be understood that two simultaneous incoming wireless waves of the same power and the same length, which would \"jam\" each other's signals hopelessly upon an ordinary aerial, may be read independently upon two loop aerials, near but at an appropriate angle to each other. In an Imperial wireless system a multiple station for the reception of messages from different transmitting stations would be established on this principle.\n\nC\n\n34. Atmospheric electrical discharges (known in wireless language as \"static,\" \"parasites,\" \"strays,\" \"X's,\" or signals. In some latitudes, in summer, signals have often been unreadable from this atmospherics) are the bane of reception of wireless cause for twelve hours or more out of the twenty-four. India is one of the worst sufferers, indeed to such an extent that it has been doubted whether this fact does not render an Indian site unsuitable for a relay wireless station for Australia. Investigation of this problem is urgently required, but enough has already been done to indicate that a solution will be found, and again, by the use of valves. Progress being made we may cite a recent statement of Dr. L. W. Austin, the eminent head of the United States Radiotelegraphic Laboratory in Washington, to the effect that whereas, receiving at Washington on a simple loop aerial, the signals of high-power transmitting stations in Western Europe have been unreadable for about 2,000 hours during the year, by employing any one of four different static-reducing systems this time of unreadability can now be reduced to less than 100 hours, or less than 5 per cent. of the time formerly lost.\n\n35. Finally, so far as concerns reception, while we have not ventured to specify a higher speed at first than 90 words per minute in the valve transmission over 2,000 miles which we recommend for official adoption, there is good ground for expectation that this may soon be largely surpassed. The Signals Experimental Establishment of the army at Woolwich, already mentioned, has achieved results of much interest and importance in automatic high-speed communication, and we trust its further investigations will be amply facilitated. By the use of new methods and apparatus, wireless signals from a punched tape have been recorded upon a standard Post Office inking machine at a speed of 450 words a minute, and no difficulty is anticipated in controlling valve transmission at this speed by means of ordinary Post Office apparatus. Moreover, the selectivity of the receiving circuit is said to be so great that immunity from interference from other stations, and in a large degree from atmospheric disturbance also, is anticipated. It may be added that the Post Office wireless staff, using the methods of the Signals Experimental Establishment somewhat modified, have recently transmitted by valve and recorded signals at the rate of 150 words a minute from London to Stonehaven (Kincardine), a distance of over 400 miles.\n\nIn our references to the development of the valve as a long-distance transmitter, and to the development of high-speed transmission and reception, we have had in mind what has been achieved by the Government Departments. We have little information (except as mentioned on p. 3, footnote) as to what has been done by private enterprise in these directions, but we have no reason to suppose that the work of the Government departments has anywhere been surpassed.\n\n36. Having thus passed in review the main aspects, historical, technical, geographical and financial, of an Imperial world-wide wireless service, we are now able to draw the practical conclusions which, in our opinion, follow. It should be borne in mind that the State already possesses the nucleus of an Imperial system in the Leafield-Cairo service, which is to come into operation in a few months, and in the ex-German station of Windhuk, and these must, of course, be utilised. We recommend, therefore, that a scheme of Imperial wireless communications be established in the following manner.\n\nThe Leafield-Cairo arc service now under construction should, we propose, be allocated to the African traffic. The Leafield station will, as and when required, handle such wireless traffic as may arise with foreign stations in Eastern Europe until this is otherwise provided for, but with this exception Leafield to be only the starting-point and terminus of duplex traffic with Egypt, and thence to East Africa and the Union of South Africa. A complete valve station, as herein specified, to be erected near Nairobi, East Africa, and this station to communicate duplex with Windhuk, which is adequately connected by land lines with Cape Town.\n\nThe former Telefunken station at Windhuk is already equipped with much plant suitable for a valve station, including two Otto Dietz 290 HP. oil engines. \"The",

Its length, excluding the tongues which extend into the hillside at each end, is 1,195 feet, formed in plan of two straight lengths of 728 feet and 310 feet respectively, inclined to one another at an angle of 144° 23′ and joined by a length of 157 feet curved to a radius of 253 feet (Fig. 3). The height from stream-bed to overflow crest is 117 feet and to the roadway 127 feet. As the foundations of the dam over the key trench in the stream-bed extend to a depth of 44 feet, the total height of the dam from the lowest part of its foundation to road-level is 171 feet. The stream-bed at the site of the dam is at a level 3 feet above L.W.O.S.T. The width of the dam at the lowest part of the foundation is 115 feet. The profile is a 1-in-15 batter for the up-stream or reservoir face, except the top 35 feet, which is vertical, and a curve of 400 feet radius for the down-stream face. The roadway has a clear width between parapets of 16 feet 6 inches, the masonry immediately below road-level being corbelled out on both faces of the dam to obtain this width. An overflow crest curved to a radius of 10 feet is formed for a length of 240 feet of the dam where it crosses the stream-bed, and the base of the dam over this section has been given an outward curve of 20 feet radius in order to better deflect the overflow into a water-cushion. The roadway over the overflow crest is carried on twelve arches of 20 feet span.\n\nThe valve-tower, which forms part of the dam, projects from the up-stream face and is divided into two dry valve-wells, each measuring 12 feet by 8 feet. The valve-wells connect at the base of the dam with two culverts 12 feet by 10 feet which were originally provided for carrying off storm-water whilst the foundation-work was in progress. A valve-house surmounts the tower.\n\n261\n\nPapers.]\n\nLOW-LEVEL RESERVOIRS AND WORKS FOR PUMPING.\n\n9\n\nFOUNDATIONS OF THE DAM (Fig. 4, Plate 1).\n\nTrial prickings made by driving 3-inch steel pipes into the stream-bed at numerous places indicated that rock would be met at depths varying from 15 to 23 feet below L.W.O.S.T., but these prickings did not establish the depths to which the excavation would have to be carried, because they gave little indication of the soundness of the rock. Trial-pits excavated on the centre line of the dam on either side of the stream-bed for its entire length, at intervals of 100 feet, indicated that soft rock would be met at depths ranging from 24 to 40 feet below the surface.\n\nThe Taitam stream above the site of the dam was diverted and the sea was excluded from the site by coffer-dams. A fold in the hillside about midway between the southern end of the dam and the stream-bed formed a natural line for a diversion cut, and it was also chosen as the site for the valve-tower. The culverts through the dam, where it crossed the fold, provided for the escape of the waters of the stream and served subsequently for housing the supply mains.\n\nThe up-stream coffer-dam, 245 feet in length, for diverting the stream into the cut consisted of an earth embankment 15 feet in height above the stream-bed, 10 feet top width, and 2-to-1 inner and outer slopes. The water slope was pitched with dry-rubble supported by a pell-mell rubble toe. A single line of close-driven grooved and tongued sheet-piles was driven down to rock on the centre line of the coffer-dam for 203 feet of its length. For the remaining length, where the depth to rock was not great, a trench was excavated and filled with clay puddle.\n\nThe down-stream coffer-dam, 174 feet in length, for excluding the sea from the excavation, consisted of a pell-mell rubble embankment 6 feet in height above stream-bed level, 18 feet top width, and 2-to-1 inner and outer slopes. The top and outer slopes were pitched with coursed rubble, part of which was set in cement mortar. A single line of grooved and tongued sheet-piling close-driven down to rock for the entire length of the dam, and a layer of selected filling material rammed against the projecting portions of the piles was all the provision made to secure watertightness. The guide-piles were pitched 10 feet apart and the lower waling was placed just above stream-bed level, the upper waling being 7 feet higher. Each sheet-pile was bolted to both walings after driving. The guide-piles were of squared Oregon pine 12 inches by 12 inches in cross section, and the walings 12 inches by 6 inches in cross\n\nB 3",

        "content_text": "## Drawing attached to this Report. \nIt will be seen that we propose a spur from near the southern end of the existing **Breakwater**, extending for a length of about 700 ft. in a southerly direction. This protecting spur will prevent any sea from S.W. to W. entering the harbour, and craft will be protected by the spur while passing through the entrance. In a heavy gale from S.W. there may be a run alongside the inside of the spur owing to the waves coming round the nose of the spur, but this run will be absorbed by the angle `a` between the existing breakwater and the spur. There may possibly be some slight disturbance with a S.W. sea at the re-entrant angle between the south face of the Jetty and Lot 89 at B. We think it is not necessary in the first instance to make any provision on that account, but if found at a later date that any trouble is caused, it can be stopped at once by filling up the angle with concrete blocks as shown. The interstices between the blocks will absorb any wave action that may occur.\n\nWe consider that the line proposed for the new spur will not cause any difficulty to craft entering the harbour by the southern entrance at any time.\n\nIt will be seen from the above that the only work we propose at present at the Southern Entrance is the construction of the spur from the existing **breakwater**. When Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice examined the **Breakwater** he noticed that practically no deterioration, except in the case of a few concrete slabs, has taken place since it was constructed, and it may therefore be assumed that this design has been quite satisfactory. We accordingly propose for the spur extension a similar design.",

From this angle, the figures prove that the method of control in force has an entirely beneficent effect; allowing for the difficulties of an Asiatic population and a sub- tropical Colony, the figuree bear comparison even with those at Home where the conditions are so much easier.\n\nDr. Aubrey's notes refer to the Caduceus April, 1922, and the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine February, 1923.\n\n6.\n\nGenerally speaking, the Hongkong method is based (of course) on a recognition of the impossibility of stamping out prostitution: and on the theory that while completely unregulated prostitution would have the worst effects, Government control should be reduced to the smallest possible limit. It takes the line of prevention of actuel crime: of enforcing responsibilities (on those in charge of prostitutes): of securing freedom of action to those who are allowed to practise prostitution; and of seeing that those who are for any reason considered unfit (e.g. too young) shall not practise. There is the smallest possible interference with those who are supposed to know their own minds, and whose prostitution does not involve others: and Government \"regulation\" becomes merely a broad supervision against abuse. The departmental records of this office and the Police Office show that the system is not unsuccessful: and if it is permitted to draw a comparison between our streets\n\nA \n\nPage 270\n\nPage 271",

Naval Yard, \nHong Kong. \n10th March, 1927. \n56 \n\nYour Excellency, \n\nWith reference to Your Excellency's communication dated 22nd February on the question of extending the facilities for flying at Hong Kong, I have the honour to return herewith two plans showing the extent of the proposed aerodrome and these plans have been examined by the Air Force Officers who remark that the site has been carefully examined and it is suggested that the entire area marked E on plan should be reserved for hangars etc. \n\nA plan `O.C.W. No. 3686/0` has been prepared from information supplied by Air Force Officers indicating a suggested arrangement of the various buildings proposed to be executed together with an outline design of the typhoon shelter and slipway. \n\nA schedule is attached giving suggested approximate floor dimensions for the various buildings required, but these may be considered as subject to reduction in some cases. \n\nIn respect to the typhoon shelter, whether the nullah on the plan should empty direct into the north west angle of the shelter or whether it should be carried out to the line of the southern sea wall is a matter which could perhaps be left open for further consideration and discussion. It is however fairly evident that the maintenance of this particular nullah free from detritus will be a matter of some importance. \n\nIt would appear that the depth of water in the shelter need not be greater than 10 feet in the first instance with the walls carried down to a depth permitting a final depth of not more than 15 feet.",

Such a friendly gesture on Hongkong's part would undoubtedly have most beneficial and far-reaching effects upon the relations of Hongkong and Canton, and would, for this reason, greatly advantage the Colony's trade and shipping interests. It is true, of course, that under the revised plan China's concessions to Hongkong are slightly reduced but only slightly, and my opinion is that, viewed from every angle, it would pay Hongkong to accept the amended terms:\n\nBelieve me,\nYours sincerely,\n(Sd.)

        "content_text": "These figures will be given only for the main framework. There will remain a number of subsidiary Trigonometrical stations and a large number of dependent traverses. They must be put in sympathy with the new values, or confusion and error will become worse rather than better. There will remain to be done then:—\n\n(f) A recommendation of minor triangulation.\n\n(g) A readjustment of traverses.\n\nFor both of these measures the original computations could be used if corrected from the new lengths, bearings, and positions. If so, however, a careful statement of procedure should be prepared and printed with the new values.\n\nThe final record should not include any points which are no longer to be found on the ground, or any which are not fixed with sufficient accuracy. For example, Lieutenant Wace's points should not be included unless they still exist, and have been recomputed to agree with new values. The War Office should be consulted on this point.\n\nThe area dealt with is, of course, small, and the staff is mainly concentrated. To these facts perhaps is due the absence of any departmental and technical regulations. Thus the exact procedure to follow (so important with local staffs) is nowhere laid down. I do not desire to criticize the staff or its work. As a matter of fact, I see evidence of hard work and honest purpose. Like most other survey matters here, however, the edge is blunted by lack of ordinary technical tidiness in method, computation, and record. Thus in the case of traverses, I found evidence of good work, but no check upon bearings and no analysis of error in the form indispensable to quick understanding and check by the directing officer.\n\nIt is, for example, impossible to deal properly with horizontal angles whose field records do not specify arc (or zero), face (or circle), and swing. It is equally inadequate to record elevation or depression (from the horizontal) indifferently as the angle itself or its complement. No surveyor should be sent to work without a clear idea of the precision expected. I will revert to these proposed regulations later.\n\nThe question of proper forms both for computation and for record should be studied. \"Survey Computations,\" published by the War Office (His Majesty's Stationery Office, 1928), will help here (although the traverse forms may be hardly suitable). The final records of triangulation and traverse are of three distinct sorts:—\n\n(1) Records of field measurement;\n\n(2) Records of computation;\n\n(3) Records of finally adopted data and positions.\n\nAs far as possible, these three should be distinct, and complete for their own aspect.\n\nBefore dismissing the subject, it is important to remember that records cannot be kept unless there is a staff to compile them and suitable accessible storage room in which to house them. All survey records (plans and maps, as well as triangulation or framework) should be in the hands of one man—and that man is obviously he who is responsible for the survey.\n\nDirectly the new values have become general and are adopted for daily routine, all other, and now obsolete, records (as for example those of Mr. Newland) should be collected and destroyed. There is no point in keeping a record of points which are no longer recoverable on the ground. An exception to this may lie in the positions of some of the traverse stations in Paddy and other rural areas, where they can be identified on the 32-inch plans.\n\nIt will be obvious that I am recommending an amount of analysis, recomputation, and rearrangement impossible to the existing staff. I am convinced, however, that it is vitally necessary, and shall make recommendation elsewhere accordingly. I also recommend that for the mass of minor co-ordinate computation, machines should be introduced. The new Brunsviga is a satisfactory machine. Its use and the various tables and records necessary can be studied either at home, or, by arrangement, at the Headquarters of the Federated Malay States Survey at Kuala Lumpur.\n\n7. Topographical Surveying. Actually, the present Survey Department has not been concerned with topographical mapping. The muddle which exists at the present is none of its business, but is due to the publication of various surveys, done at different times and disagreeing with each other and with the ground.\n\nThere are the 8-inch (Hong Kong and part of New Territories) and the 2-inch printed by the Ordnance Survey, the 24-inch and 3-inch printed at the War Office, and there is also the unpublished 2-inch plane-table survey by Turner and Johnston. So unsatisfactory was the position for defence purposes that the Air Ministry and the War Office agreed to photograph and survey respectively, in order to bring out a thoroughly reliable 3-inch (1/20,000) map.\n\nThere will be 24 sheets of this map, and the present position is as follows:—\n\nPublished: 12\n\nSurveyed and being drawn: 7 on 10th February, 1930.\n\nBeing surveyed (half done): 5\n\nThe series will be really reliable but can only illustrate the development at the date of photography (1924). The War Office is, I understand, to follow up with a good 1/100,000 (roughly 3-inch) map showing the whole area.\n\nAs soon as the 1/20,000 and the 1/100,000 are complete, all previous maps should be withdrawn and destroyed.\n\nI do not think so.\n\nThe 8-inch map is a possible exception to this statement, because the 8-inch seems to serve no real purpose save that of a diagram of the larger revenue sheets. For such purposes, the 1/20,000 will do just as well, but the point should be considered by the Survey and Land Departments affected.\n\nFrom the Government point of view, it is important to make arrangements with the War Office for a sufficient number of copies to be supplied for issue to officials and, for the benefit of the non-official engineer and industrialist, to see that sufficient stocks are kept for sale in the hands of a map agent.\n\nOnce made, this topographical series should be kept periodically revised. Revision can be effected—\n\n(a) From air-photographs,\n\n(b) From ground survey,\n\nand of these, the former is probably the best in so far as photographs are available. No doubt the Royal Air Force will be able to provide some photographs, and the Survey Department should keep a record of them, and forward copies to the War Office, through Command Headquarters with a diagram to call attention to the alterations desirable. Where photographs are not available, alterations and additions should be shown (on record sheets) from either the new revenue survey or from plane-table survey. It is most important that the record sheets should be most carefully prepared and should be fully explanatory of \"deletions\" as well as of additions. These have to be understood and carried out by draughtsmen in England. To avoid unnecessary correspondence and delay, absolute clearness is essential. Some alteration to the sheets of the Island and Kowloon is already required. There are also some new roads important to defence, which should be inserted as soon as possible. In future, five years might elapse before revisions in urban districts and a longer interval in other cases.\n\nThe War Office has already spent large sums on this survey and in the adjustment of the triangulation. It is but fair to envisage payment for alteration in the future. A close touch should, therefore, be maintained between Civil and Military Departments, and the Director of Survey should be in frequent, direct, and personal communication with the Geographical Section of the General Staff.\n\nI must once more emphasize the essential point that a survey must not be allowed to get so out of date as to necessitate complete renewal. It will rest mainly with the local Survey Department to see that this point is remembered.\n\nThere is too a W.D. 1/10,000 map of Victoria and Kowloon. Already slightly out of date, this map might be of the greatest use to the Colony, if extended slightly to the west and considerably to the north. I should like, too, to see roads on the Peak emphasized, and some of the houses on the Peak numbered. The result would be a large, but still quite a possible, sheet. Its value would be enormously greater than that of the incomplete sheet now produced. The Colony should provide the photographs and pay for the cost of this enlargement of area, and the question should be discussed now with the War Office. It should be pointed out that the purpose to be served is to include all the present area of intensive urban development, and that this is possible on one sheet. The extension should include square (500m.) both east and west and 2 squares (2,000m.) north.\n\n\"Official use only.\"\n\nSuch a map should have a ready sale, should not be marked, and might be highly priced (say seven to ten dollars).\n\nEventually, the Survey Department should be in a position to take over all maps of the Colony, to revise them, to print further editions, and to sell to the public. To sell efficiently implies an accessible map sales office and efficient advertising (placards, gazette, and newspaper notices, &c.).\n\n8. Levelling.—In Hong Kong and the New Territories, the dimension of height assumes peculiar importance. A control of reliable levelling is, therefore, essential, and a good start has been made. The fundamental benchmarks are satisfactory. The problems now in front of the levelling are the analysis of tide gauge records, to provide a proper datum, and the reduction and adjustment of levelling figures. The proper...\n\nPage 23",

        "content_text": "246\n\n\"Last year the Council sanctioned two additional posts—a lectureship in Chemistry and lectureship in Physics. These two posts, which were absolutely essential, have been filled by Mr. Hill and Mr. Davies. I want in this connection to make two points clear. The first is that we have, in the last 12 months, added to our staff three important teaching posts, for the Readership in Biology, though it was sanctioned some years ago, has been in abeyance for the last four years. The second is, that in the course of last year the University was able to secure from London for its staff, no less than five good men—Professor Ride, Dr. Herklots, Mr. Hill, Mr. Davies, and Mr. Braine Hartnell. And the pay of our Professors, to say nothing of our Readers and Lecturers, is on a substantially lower scale than that of the Hong Kong Government School masters. The latter are also qualifying for pensions while our men are not.\n\n\"Perhaps some of you noticed as you came here this afternoon two new tennis courts; I begged these off Mr. W. H. Bell of the Asiatic Petroleum Company. We thank the Directors of the Asiatic Petroleum Company.\n\nThe Students.\n\n\"On the 31st December, 1928, there were 309 students on the rolls of the University; of these 160 were in the Medical Faculty, 95 in the Arts and 54 in the Engineering. The total enrolment includes 38 girl undergraduates, 16 in the Medical and 22 in the Arts Faculty. If anyone doubts whether the Chinese of Hong Kong are in earnest about the education not only of their boys but also of their girls, let him motor along the Caine and Bonham Roads at about 4 p.m., when the schools are discharging their victims.\n\n\"Among the many needs of the University is a girls' hostel, and an influential committee, of which Col. Skinner has been kind enough to become the Chairman, has issued an appeal.\n\nFinance.\n\n\"The Balance Sheet for 1928 has not yet been drawn up, but I am not looking forward to it with any misgiving. We are paying our way, but the future is dark and uncertain. The Finance Committee has sounded a note of warning, that unless fresh sources of revenue be discovered, the prospective pecuniary resources of the University will not, in a few years' time, cover its financial commitments. And no University can stand still.\n\n\"When the Legislature of Hong Kong passed the University Ordinance of 1911, it committed itself and the Colony to the establishment of a University for the promotion of Art, Science, and Learning, for the formation of the character of students of all races, nationalities, and creeds, and for the maintenance of good understanding with the neighbouring country of China.\n\nAt the same time the Legislature of Hong Kong proclaimed to the world that the standards of its University would not be below the standards of the Universities in Great Britain.\n\n\"This University has to provide and maintain three large hostels for students and residences for the members of its staff. It has to bring practically all its teachers out from England with wives and families, and to send them back to England every four years also with their wives and families.\n\n\"Mendicancy!\n\n\"A good friend of the University said to me the other day—The University is always passing round the hat. We are getting a little tired of this shameless mendicancy. So am I. (Laughter.) The burden of the University's poverty is the burden which the Legislature of Hong Kong has laid upon us, for we are only trying to carry out the Legislature's expressed wishes? We can hear the burden but let the saddle be light. If we can't have money, at least let us have goodwill.\n\nProblem Of Future Must Be Faced\n\nNo one realises more acutely than I do, the tremendous difficulties which underly the maintenance and effective development of this University. His Excellency the Chancellor has just returned from fighting our cause in London with a tenacity which nothing but the strongest conviction, nay, devotion, could have maintained. If all hope of getting help from the Boxer Indemnity Fund must be finally and irrevocably abandoned, the whole problem of the University's future will have, before long, to be faced here in Hong Kong.\n\nThe Medical School.\n\n\"The Medical School of this University not only involves the employment of a large University staff of teachers, but also a considerable staff of persons whose work is confined to the Government Civil Hospital but who are a charge on the University's funds; it also involves the maintenance and upkeep of laboratories for Anatomy, Histology, Embryology, Physiology, Biology, Biological Chemistry, Pathology, and Pharmacology, to say nothing of the Clinical Departments of Surgery, Medicine, Obstetrics, and Gynaecology.\n\n\"But all this, I hear the practical man retaliate, is rhetoric; we are a commercial community and Hong Kong is a place for trade. Show us how your University is going to enhance the prosperity of Hong Kong.\n\n\"My friend, I meekly reply, it occurs to me as strange that the good people of the United States of America should take such a diametrically opposite view. They spend quite a lot of money on education in China. They have recently established a China Institute in America, and among the declared objects of that Institution is the creation of fellowships and scholarships to enable not only Chinese to study in American Colleges and Universities, but also Americans to study in China.\n\n\"They have also recently established and generously endowed the Harvard-Yenching Institute for Chinese studies.\n\n\"John Ruskin died in 1900—a very old man. To the practical man of his generation, John Ruskin was an ineffectual, scolding, sweet-tempered, childish angel. But to John Ruskin it was an intuition that prosperity was not to be measured in terms of money, and in that intuition lay the seeds of the Social Revolution through which we are now passing, and in social and industrial matters we are still stumbling after him.\n\n\"On the 19th November, 1928, exactly 100 years had passed since Franz Peter Schubert died. That day was a world-festival of music. The sweetness of his harmonies was literally floating out of the ether from 'the flood to the world's end.' Schubert had come into his own at last! Yet in his day he went hungry! (Applause.)\n\nPage 220\n\nPage 221",

        "content_text": "108\n\nH. P. W. HUTSON\n\nIn appearance and also, as we found later, in taste these Chinese mushrooms could not be told from English ones. Their gathering was the last event of the day. It was high time to start back or it would be dark before we reached the car. Regretfully therefore we returned to the little stone bridge and left the valley.\n\nHowever before long we were back again. In fact we came many times that spring and on each visit penetrated the valley a little deeper or examined it from a fresh angle. And never did we have a really blank day. Our interests were varied and we left it to the valley to settle which, on any one day, should take precedence. Ornithology would be favoured on one day, on another botany. We started with no preconceived intentions but searched streamside, cultivation or woodland as circumstances indicated. Taken all round however, the most productive hunting grounds, catering for all tastes, were the villages and their surroundings. It was by Hang Ha Po that we discovered the first birds' nests, one, in the top of a water banian, belonging to a Black-faced Babbler and another, sewn to a large fig leaf, owned by a Tailor-bird. There too the botanist found much of interest among the weeds that grew on the waste ground in front of the huts.\n\nThe False Ipecacuanha (Asclepias currassavica) was most abundant and its orange-red flowers made a fine splash of colour setting off the white trumpet blooms of the Datura alba that grew alongside. Very common on the banks and rough walls that separated the village holdings was the curious Bryophyllum calycinum. Cactus or prickly pear, intended to keep out maraudering goats, topped these banks as a rule and in some places there were rough hedges, equally thorny, among which the opened pods of the Fruit climber Abrus precatorius displayed its black-spotted scarlet seeds. Trees such as the pomelo, pawpaw and lime grew about the village and behind it the Lychee, the Litsea, the Rose Apple (Eugenia jambos) and others.\n\nThe culmination of tree growth was the grove, a dark shady wood of tall trees with great fern-clad buttressed trunks. In its inner sunless depths wild life was scarce in the early part of the year but the outskirts always repaid a search. The butterfly hunter in particular found plenty to occupy him on the sunny side of the grove and also on the village waste lands. Blue-barred Danais similis, dark Euploeas that only occasionally showed their deep violet markings and the brown Lethe europa, its female conspicuous by the broad white band on the forewing, all were to be had in plenty. There was a White too, Pieris canidia, closely resembling our small Garden White (P. rapae) and the large and brilliant Papilio family was represented by the black and red Papilio memnon, a shade lover, and by the rapid flying Papilio antiphates with the orange tail.\n\nIn April the grove itself awoke. Butterflies became more numerous than ever on its outskirts and many gaily coloured caterpillars found succulent feeding on the undergrowth within. Groups of Candle flies were to be seen on the tree trunks, seemingly asleep but alert enough when one tried to catch them. The grating call of the Cicada, a large yellow and black variety, arose on every hand. But the most marked change in the wild life of the grove took place amongst the birds. Magpies had been in possession since February and now had youngsters in their nest.\n\n109\n\nTheir sway over the woodland was almost undisputed for only a few Doves and Tits had shared the place with them. Now other bird folk hurried in. From the marshlands came Herons and Egrets returning to the valley of their birth. For a while one saw them gathered on the newly flooded paddy fields - the pure white Little Egrets, the Cattle Egrets wearing their orange breeding plumes and the Pond Herons chestnut-headed and black-backed, showing no white at all till they opened their wings in flight. Not for long however could they afford to idle. There was much work to be done. None of the last year's nests in the grove remained; all had to be rebuilt. So the colony was soon hard at work. To and fro, throughout the day, flew the birds, bearing sticks to their nests. From every quarter of the compass they came and what a bubbling and squawking arose at each arrival. By mid-April most of the nests were well advanced and by the end of the month many, perhaps the majority, contained eggs.\n\nThere were other birds besides these Herons that came to nest in the grove. Early in April a very kingfisher-like call was to be heard among the trees and glimpses might be caught of the sable plumaged Koel chasing its mate. We suspected this couple to have been responsible for the strange eggs that were found a week or so later in the untidy nest a Black-necked Mynah had built high up in a tree on the grove's edge. Some of its secrets the grove guarded too well for us. It never, for instance, showed us where the Barbet nested. We heard the bird's plaintive 'uloo-uloo-uloo' continuously; often we saw the caller either flying from one grove to another or perched in a tree when we could without much difficulty approach beneath and watch it at close quarters whilst it reiterated its curious plaint.\n\nThere must have been a pair of Barbets in practically every grove in the valley. And, what is more, there were old trees so riddled with the birds' nesting holes that they must have been in use for generations. Yet we failed to find a single new nest and the villagers could (or would) not help in the matter.\n\nOur party broke up at the end of April. We had by no means exhausted the possibilities of the valley. Indeed it is a place that would be worth keeping in touch with throughout the year. A final visit, a descent into the valley from Tai-mo-shan, following a steep watercourse abounding in falls and crossing tracts of really tropical vegetation where tree ferns, wild plants, rare orchids and countless botanical treasures grew luxuriantly, showed that Lam Tsun valley has fields that we never really touched. They await a fresh band of bug hunters.\n\nBIRDS OF THE LAM TSUN VALLEY. Nesting species are marked.*\n\n1. Black-faced Babbler, Dryonastes p. perspicillatus.*\n\n2.

        "content_text": "216\n\n[226]\n\nARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDS ON LAMMA ISLAND\n\n(E) NEAR HONG KONG.*\n\nby\n\nD. J. Finn, s.j.\n\nThe Editor of The Hong Kong Naturalist generously allows me to describe in a series of illustrated articles certain finds of ancient remains on the island of Lamma, finds which it would seem have a more than local interest in the field of Chinese archaeology.\n\nI say \"finds\" advisedly, because much of the material has been found in an obvious way—and on that account is not so rich in evidential value as one might wish. A certain amount has been sought for by digging in the hope of stricter control. The digging hardly merits the name of excavation.\n\nOf recent years, several people of a questing and questioning temper have been collecting evidence of human activities in or about the island of Hong Kong, evidence consisting for the most part of stone tools or weapons, fragments of pottery, stone rings and the like. Most of this was collected on the surface of the soil or on rocks or in water-courses, in such sites as pointed to a removal from the original place of deposit. It is, I think, public property that Dr. Heanly, Mr. Schofield and Professor Shellshear were especially keen on the pursuit. When Professor Shellshear was going on leave this year, he asked me to interest myself in the observations. I was indeed very glad of the invitation, and luck seemed to confirm the vocation. A few days after that, while I was still regarding any active participation as remote, I almost crushed a piece of obviously old pottery under foot as I walked past a sand-heap on a jetty at Aberdeen (Hong Kong): I was on my way to town. On my way back past the same spot, I picked up this time a piece of patinated bronze, evidently a fragment of a weapon, probably a sword. Next morning, I came deliberately with a friend and a shovel; the friend had the satisfaction of digging up a stone spear-head weathered to a russet brown and we got more fragments of pottery, one of a type which I already knew from Prof. Shellshear's specimens. The connexion between the finds of those twenty-four hours remains still the chief question for solution!\n\nThe next step was to find where the sand had come from. Having found out that and having got there, I found myself at the site from which I knew that Prof. Shellshear and his friends had already reaped a rich harvest. Since then, Mr. Schofield has told me that when he first found the site, one had to pick one's steps carefully not to tread on old pot-sherds and the rest. To-day the story is different: one has to work hard to unearth something unless the last sand-junk and its coolies have thrown about some nga p'in as useless rubbish. This position is all to the good in so far as one gets some more definite evidence of contacts, succession and the like, But what the site demands is a thorough, careful and immediate excavation in order to discover whatever coherent testimony is still preserved in the unshifted sand. Lacking that, one may here describe the site as it at present exists.\n\n44\n\n* See Map facing p. 116 H.K.N. III, No. 2; By immediately above first M in LAMMA, tangent of grid-line and bay.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nArchaeological Finds on Lamma Island\n\nC\n\n227\n\nOn the western side of Lamma, there is a large bay, whence its Chinese name, \"Tai Wan.\" Most of the western shore of the island runs almost in a straight line N-S. At the northern end of the stretch, it turns practically due West, the angle between the two directions being filled with a short piece of shore running SE-NW. (Plate 32, figure 1). The finds of which the present article treats were made on the beach and in the sand-banks behind this stretch that faces S.W. and seems to be the real Tai Wan or Tai Wan To. Behind the beach is a fertile angle of soil in which is a village which the people themselves call \"Tai Wan.\" Plate 32, figure 3, is a view taken from the hills at the back at a height of about 150 feet just beneath a hill top marked 300 feet in the usual maps. The spreading tree marks the southern extension of the finds and the continuous line of breakers running north from the tree indicates very well the extent as far as known. It may be noted for orientation that the coast on the right hand of the view is running off almost due West. The site is therefore a shore very open to the South West—the winds of the summer monsoon and many typhoons would be felt there. On the day the photograph was taken (October 26th) the typical winter monsoon had come and winds were from the North or North-east; on that day a sand-junk had great difficulty in maintaining a gangway on to the beach because of the breakers. Opposite the site the shore shelves very gradually. The land behind the beach seems ideal for a settlement: fertile land with an astonishing amount of water in the hills—in the early summer of this year when there was a drought in Hong Kong, water was brought across to Aberdeen by sampans from this part of the island and there are rice-fields up in the hill over 100 feet over the valley bottom in which the Tai Wan village lies: the site is sheltered from the raw northern winds of winter and open to the cool southerns of summer: the picture Plate 32, figure 3, shows the paddy-fields and vegetable patches below, while behind the tree on the right a kind of low acropolis hill stands out from the foot of the hills. At present, one coming from Aberdeen is pleasantly surprised by the groves of papaya trees, clumps of pine-apples and the amount of paddy that are cultivated. This should be borne in mind in any attempt to decipher the history of the site. The fertility of the place has however one immediate advantage for us, namely that it will probably shelter one spot untouched for regular excavation at some future date, namely the patch of dense growth that lies beneath the great tree at the southern end. (Plate 32, figures 1 and 3).\n\nThe character of the actual ground from which the objects of our investigation have been recovered will best be understood from the photographs showing people inspecting the place. (Plate 32, figures 4 and 5). Between the boulder covered lower beach and the sand bank on which the fields begin, there is a stretch of shore about 120 yards long by 120 feet wide (or deep) from which in the course of the past few years the sand-junks have removed a vast quantity of sand: they have not left the ground an even level but a switch-back surface crossed by ridges averaging two or three feet in height which separate the space into a series of transverse compartments. Plate 32, figure 4; these compartments now form the corridors of approach to the sand bank at the back when sand is being actually removed. On this stretch\n\nDecember 1932.",

        "content_text": "# International Situation\n## HOUSE OF COMMONS\n\n[Mr. Adams.]\n\nentreat all parties not to allow the Government to begin, as it were, the strangulation of the British Empire by colonial concessions to Germany.\n\nBecause I feel that this country and our Empire are in the very direst danger, I am going to take leave now to say something which hon. Members may regard as highly indelicate. I have heard it said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer may succeed to the Premiership. In 1932 the same right hon. Gentleman was Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, when Germany was still reasonable and civilised, and yet during those early and promising days of the Disarmament Conference the right hon. Gentleman found ample reasons for having no policy at all. He must be regarded to-day as the main architect of our present ruin. I do not expect my hon. Friends in the Conservative party to dispute that proposition, because in 1935 they will remember we compelled his promotion to the Home Office.\n\nLike my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for the Abbey Division (Sir S. Herbert), I would like to see a Government of National Union, including the Leaders of the Opposition. It does seem to me a most absurd thing, in this hour of our national danger—for it is nothing less, even though the crisis to-day may have been understated in this Debate—that the right hon. Members for Sparkbrook (Mr. Amery), Leamington (Mr. Eden), St. George's, and Epping are outside the Administration.\n\nSo far from causing Herr Hitler to go to war, I believe that the inclusion of those right hon. Gentlemen in the Government would cause him to think twice—a man who understands the use of force and respects those who would be able, if necessary, to use it. In what vital particular over the last five or six years has the reading of German motives by the right hon. Member for Epping been proved wrong?\n\nI would suggest that we need to-day men in all parties, men with the wit, the wish, and the will to stand up for a stronger Britain. If this nation is to survive as a great nation, as a leader of freedom, flying the banner of liberty from this island, visible to all the world, the days of surrender by this country must be ended. If we want peace, peace with honour, peace for the time not only of those who are perhaps reaching the end of their lives, but also peace for the time of those of us who are under 40 and for the time of our children, we must take the last resort, which is this—rearmament on a scale hitherto undreamt of, excluding no possibility of general national service, to meet and, if necessary, to defeat Germany. In this crisis there is nothing else and nothing less for us to do. We are indeed forced back in this emergency on to the Tacitean paradox which in happier days we could afford to ridicule: **Si vis pacem para bellum**. So long as the Nazi régime persists in Germany there is no hope of preventing war except through vast rearmament by Britain.\n\n7.19 p.m.\n\nMr. Boothby: We have had from the hon. Member for West Leeds (Mr. V. Adams) a characteristically vigorous speech, with the last part of which I, personally, found myself in a good deal of agreement, but I must point out to him that he has slightly exceeded the right angle to which he referred. I do not propose to say anything about the Munich Agreement, or indeed about what has happened in the past. I am one of those who think that, in the circumstances of the time, and under the conditions which then prevailed, the Prime Minister had no alternative at Munich but to make the best terms he could. I think that those conditions ought not to have arisen, and need not have arisen; but there they were, and it was not entirely the fault of the Prime Minister that they existed; and I am one of those who feel very strongly that he had no option but to take the action he took, that that action was courageous, and that he deserves the profound gratitude of the people of this country for what he did. There is one other thing I would like to say, which I do not think has been said enough in this House to-day, and that is how much we all welcome the appointment of my right hon. Friend the Member for the Scottish Universities (Sir J. Anderson) to the Cabinet and to be in effect Minister of Civilian Defence.\n\nApart from that, I think the Government must have been aware of the very considerable uneasiness which has pervaded this House throughout the Debate, not greatly diminished since the four days' Debate a few weeks ago; and I think there is real cause for that uneasiness still. It is not confined to any one party. The House as a whole is uneasy, because this House has a collective responsibility, and a very direct responsibility, for the safety of this country. We have failed adequately to discharge that responsibility. Why? Because we have been continuously and grossly misled by Ministers, over a period of several years, as to the true state of our defences. You cannot get away from that. To listen to the speeches of some Ministers, at different periods, you might have thought that guns and aeroplanes were flowing in on them in such an avalanche, like rain, that it was almost a source of embarrassment. Indeed, there were moments when one felt quite sorry for the Germans. But when the much heralded crisis, of which we all had ample notice, arrived, we discovered that the condition of our defences was in fact absolutely deplorable—and that has since been admitted by Ministers themselves and by the Civil Service although nothing that the Government have ever asked for our defences has been refused by this House at any time during the last four years. I think that, if the full list of the gaps and deficiencies were disclosed—which I hope it will not be—it would be a very astonishing document. But attention must be drawn in this House—and I am rather surprised it has not been drawn so far—to the observations of Mr. Eady:\n\n\"We are not prepared; we have hardly begun to prepare; we do not know how all the failures that occurred during the crisis can be avoided next time.\"\n\nMr. Eady went on to say that the regulations issued to the local authorities were the sloppiest ever produced by a Government Department. This was a high civil servant. We all have our own experiences of what happened during the period of the crisis, with regard to shelters, sandbags, hospitals, arrangements for the evacuation of children, fire brigades, police, production generally in the country, voluntary service of all kinds, the shoals of offers that came from different people all over the country, the total inadequacy with which they were dealt with, no use being found for them at the last moment, and the confusion which arose. The hon. Member who has just sat down said that the confusion in Germany was greater than in this country. All I can say to that is that Germany must have been in a very confused state indeed at the time of the crisis.\n\nSimilarly, we have heard—and there is no good in concealing these facts—about the gun deficiencies. I took the trouble to look it up, and I found that the War Office alone has spent £43,000,000 on artillery. I do not know the exact number of anti-aircraft guns of modern type that were available for the defence of this country at the time of the crisis, but if it was 20 per cent. of the establishment I should be very surprised. In many cases it was far below that. Similarly, we spent with regard to aeroplanes, £110,000,000 on aeroplanes, and that, at £15,000 apiece, ought to work out at 7,000 aeroplanes. Who in this House supposes we had 7,000 efficient fighting aeroplanes three weeks ago? Did we have 1,000, did we have 500, did we have even 100? I do not know what the precise figure was; but all this goes to show that after four years of alleged rearmament, and an expenditure totalling £1,000,000,000, the results were very unsatisfactory indeed. I would like to ask what has happened in this respect during the last four or five weeks. One would have expected—I think all of us hoped—after the last Debate that a terrific effort would be made; but I have not seen any sign of it. There appears to have been a certain amount of examination, and we have had one or two interesting speeches from Members of the Government, but that is all. There was one speech particularly, by the Home Secretary, at Clacton-on-Sea, which was of considerable significance and importance. He said:\n\n\"If this country could be so organised as to make it impossible for a knock-out blow to succeed, we could face the future with the certainty that we could never be defeated.\"\n\nAnd there was another extremely interesting speech, by the Secretary of State for War, at Cardiff, from which I will give this quotation:\n\n\"To obtain appreciable acceleration, or an appreciable enlargement within the given time of our rearmament programme, it would be necessary to revive our war-time method under which every other consideration is subordinated to this. A Ministry of Munitions to be effective must have full powers to allot orders, to assign priorities, to control the supply of materials, and to make arrangements for diversions of skilled labour.\"\n\nIf this speech means anything at all, it means that if we are to have effective rearmament \"within the given time,\" we must have a Ministry of Supply. The speech has otherwise no meaning at all; and it has been strongly reinforced in that very orthodox financial newspaper,",

As will be observed, this latter comprises very different opinions, but I think that you may rest assured that the measure has on the whole been well-received here. Before I put the proposition to the Secretary of State I consulted not merely Executive Council, but a small number of leading business men among whom were Grayburn of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank and Landale of Jardine Matheson and Company.\n\nThey accepted the principle willingly enough but were opposed to the light surtax which I wished to put on. As Caine also was rather against surtax, at the initial stage of income tax, from the administrative angle, I did not go on with it, though I may next year. It is not unlikely that it would have driven away some of the gold-laying geese, and so done\n\nG. E. J. Gent, Esq., O.B.E., D.S.O., M.C.,\n\nColonial Office,\n\nLONDON, S.W.1.",

        "content_text": "## THE DOCK AND HARBOUR AUTHORITY\n### February, 1942\n#### Port of Hong Kong-continued\n\nSir David Owen's Report having been brought to the notice of Mr. John Duncan, M.Inst.C.E., formerly Port Engineer of Hong Kong, the following interesting communication has been received from that gentleman. It will be recalled that Mr. Duncan's recommendations for the future development of the Port were published in the issues of this Journal for April and May, 1926:- \n\n**To the Editor of The Dock and Harbour Authority**\n\nPort of Hong Kong\n\nIt is indeed the irony of fate that whereas in 1924, the peak year of the colony's prosperity, I had the honour of advising the Government of Hong Kong on the commercial development of that great port; now in 1942, when that beautiful Colony with its excellent natural harbour, second to none, including even that of Sydney, after heroic resistance, has fallen to the Japanese, I feel impelled by the report of the late Sir David Owen to make comment on the same subject.\n\n### Conditions in 1924 and 1941\n\nFor many years prior to 1924 commercial interests had been clamouring for developments to meet more adequately and efficiently the needs of the Colony's growing trade. The problem was a difficult and complex one, not only because of the many competing, and in some cases conflicting, interests of peoples of different nationalities, but one further complicated by political considerations, of which—whilst the Government may be fully acquainted—the man interested in his own commercial business may be quite unaware. The following remarks will serve to illustrate this point: \n\nI am fully acquainted with the fact that economic and political conditions in 1941 were vastly changed from those obtaining during a year or two prior to 1924, the peak year of the Colony's prosperity. Advisedly, I use the word \"prosperity\" for, coincident with a record return in 1924 of shipping and goods tonnage entering and leaving the Port, there was a tremendous boom in land values; and why? Because China, even at that late date, was still undergoing the process of regeneration caused by the overthrow of the Manchu regime in 1911 and, in consequence, internecine strife was rampant throughout the whole country. Coincident with these unfortunate conditions, foreign political intrigue was active, particularly in South China—exploiting China in its unfortunate state, but really directed against British interests in the Far East. That was during the presidency of the late Dr. Sun Yat Sen—but I must not dilate further on this theme, otherwise the Censor will intervene. Enquirers may well say: What has all this to do with engineering matters? Much; for the result was a great increase in the Colony's population seeking safety and security, many of whom would elect to remain permanently. There was such a flow of money into the Colony that the banks almost refused to accept it and when they did so, they paid little or no interest for it placed on deposit account. The result was a boom in land values, which, together with the increased population, affected very much the question of reclamation work and the provision of all public services, including such work connected with harbour development as ferry piers. It, therefore, behoved anyone dealing with the subject under review to give much consideration to the possible effect of political influences which may affect the problem. Fortunately, as it happens, I did so in 1924, for, as events subsequently proved, political influences had repercussions of a very unfortunate character in regard to the trade of the Port. I can now admit publicly that in 1924 I had secret information from Chinese sources—which proved to be well founded—that a General Strike or boycott was planned for 1925, and, unfortunately for Hong Kong, it so happened. It was cunningly planned to take place just before Settlement Day in June of that year. Shipping was held up and commercial operations were not merely incommoded, but for some time practically suspended. Then the Colony received a setback, from which cause, followed by world-wide depression, the trade of the Colony has never recovered. In point of fact, it has gone from bad to worse. Hence the reason why in 1924—to quote Professor Middleton Smith, M.Sc., M.I.Mech.E. (Taikoo Professor of Engineering in the University of Hong Kong—now retired) who, in his article which appeared in the December, 1936 issue of **The Dock and Harbour Authority**, aptly and correctly interprets my advice—I advised the Government to \"hurry slowly\" with works recommended by me for the physical development of the harbour. Nevertheless, I have great hopes for the future prosperity of Hong Kong. Given permanent peace and more equitable conditions of life, the problem under review—expurgated of such unfortunate political influences and provided goodwill and mutual trust exist between all concerned—will then be resolved into the simple one of control, economics and, so far as engineers are probably more interested, Physical Development. I agree with Professor Middleton Smith that \"whatever the political future of Hong Kong may be, its geographical position and its wonderful harbour give it an almost unchallengeable future as the most important port in South China.\" Mr. Churchill in his address to both Houses of the Canadian Parliament on 30th December last, goes even farther when he describes it as \"the greatest port of shipping in the whole world.\" It must and will always remain, at least, one of the largest ports in the world. We do not know what conditions exist in Hong Kong to-day. Even if we did, it would not avail us one iota for, if the Japanese should adopt the scorched-earth policy before they are driven out of Hong Kong, the whole matter, as your editorial comment says, may well call for fresh consideration at the close of hostilities and so, at the present time \"the various proposals have little more than academic significance.\"\n\n### The Report of 1924\n\nI was unaware of the report presented by the late Sir David Owen last year. That report I have now read with much interest, but before proceeding to express my opinions on his recommendations for administrative control and physical development, I must make an assumption and acquaint your readers with my recommendations in 1924, so that fair comparison may be made. There can then be frank and open discussion on the subject.\n\nI cannot imagine for one moment that the Government would withhold from Sir David Owen any reports and recorded information in its possession, relevant to the subject on which his advice was sought, so I am going to assume that he received a copy of the report which I presented to the Government in 1924.\n\nOne naturally refrains from drawing attention to any eulogistic comment on, or criticism of one's own work, but, having regard to the fact that no reference whatsoever has been made to that report, which, if I may say so, was comprehensive, based on years of experience in Hong Kong, intensive study, and exhaustive research, I may perhaps be pardoned, if, under the circumstances, I first refer to one or two press comments on it.\n\nOn December 30th, 1924, editorial comment—all much on the same lines—was made in: **The China Mail**, Hong Kong; **The Hong Kong Daily Press**; and **The Hong Kong Telegraph**; and at later dates in other newspapers in the Far East and elsewhere. This is what **The China Mail** said:—\n\n\"Historic is the only term that can describe the report presented by the Colony's Port Engineer, Mr. John Duncan, M.Inst.C.E., on the commercial development of our harbour. For historic it is in many ways. The Colonial Secretary said yesterday that a more interesting and important document has seldom been laid before the Council. Sir Claude Severn could have gone further without overstating the case. He could safely have said that the report may prove the most important document in the Colony's history, for, upon the commercial development of the harbour, as everyone knows, depends the future prosperity of the whole Colony. Other harbour reports there have been in the past, but they have all been so much tinkering with the problem. Even the late Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice dealt with only one aspect of the matter—the providing of wharves to meet Kowloon's future needs as a railway terminus—which Mr. John Duncan's report, if it does not say so in as many words, shows to be the wrong angle from which to approach the problem, looking to the fact that the through railway from the North is not likely to be completed for many years and anyway the bulk of the colony's trade will always be waterborne.\"\n\nIn all fairness to the late Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice and his firm, then Messrs. Coode, Fitzmaurice, Wilson and Mitchell, Consulting Engineers to the Crown Agents for the Colonies, I would here interpolate that the matters on which his firm's advice was sought in 1920 were:—\n| Matter | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | Improvements of the harbour generally. |\n| 2 | The provision of wharves and warehouses provided with railway communication. |\n| 3 | Improvement of the Mongkoktsui Harbour of Refuge. |\n| 4 | The question of dredging plant generally; the refitting of the dredger `St. Enoch` being considered in this connection. |\n| 5 | The best means of providing facilities opposite Statue Square for landing from, or embarking on launches and small craft generally. |\n\nThe consulting engineers adhered strictly to the terms of reference, which did not require them to deal with anything but engineering issues. In consequence, their report practically resolved itself into one dealing with the provision of wharfage, by the construction in the bight of Hung Hom Bay of a reclamation of 48 acres from which were to project in a southerly direction a series of six jetties.\n\nIn the April and May, 1926, issues of **The Dock and Harbour Authority** a succinct resume of my report was presented for the information of your readers and in your editorial of the latter issue you refer to it as:—\n\n\"...a very lengthy document embodying the result of a great deal of painstaking research and containing a considerable amount of valuable information on all phases of the problem...\"\n\nIt will perhaps be conceded that at least in some quarters, the information contained in that report was considered of some value. But, if Sir David Owen considered it of little or no value, I submit that he would have added more to the solution of the problem by adverse criticism, rather than by eschewing all reference to it. In point of fact, he almost denies its existence, for, does he not say in paragraph 68:—\n\n\"It may further be noted that there does not seem to have been much in the nature of planning for the future development of the Port...\"\n\nThat statement is quite incorrect, for, apart altogether from the plans prepared by my staff on my instructions, I might here ask: What about—\n| Plan | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | The plans of Jetties and Reclamation at Hung Hom Bay and of extensions to Mongkoktsui Breakwater prepared by Messrs. Coode and Co. |\n| 2 | Plans of Wet Dock at Kowloon Point proposed by Captain W.

I had a great interest in the development of the harbour of Hong Kong. If in any way I can assist towards the most satisfactory solution of the difficult problem under review, then I shall feel happy in having accomplished something. One regret we all have, is that Sir David Owen has passed away; and so we shall not have the benefit of such reply as he may have felt disposed to make on any of the conflicting opinions which, apparently, have been already expressed on his report.\n\nWhereas the Government's instructions to me in 1924 were limited:—\n\n\"to prepare and submit for the consideration of the Government a complete scheme for the Development of the Port.\"\n\nI note that the terms of reference given to Sir David Owen were extremely wide; even to the extent of taking into account political conditions at a time when the Colony was threatened with war.\n\nNevertheless, and fortunately as it happens, I considered it my bounden duty to take into consideration all influences: political, economic, or physical, which, in my opinion, had any bearing whatsoever on the question of the future control and development of the Port.\n\n### Proposed Port Administration\n\nFor the information of your readers I would now draw their attention to the \"Policy, Control, Management and Administration\" which I recommended should be adopted by the Government.\n\n\"...In my opinion, a properly-constituted Advisory Port Authority, Board, or Impartial Tribunal is the first need.\" (May I here draw attention to a printer's error in Professor Middleton Smith's article wherein he states that I was emphatic...)\n\nPage 70\nPage 71",

I very much hope that you will be able to continue this series as it helps us enormously to appreciate better the events which form the subject of official telegrams and despatches. I have not yet had the second of the series, but the first I showed to those here who are more particularly concerned with Hong Kong affairs, and informally to the Far East Department at the Foreign Office (impressing upon them Northcote's express wish that nothing in the letters should be regarded as quotable).\n\nApart from people and affairs actually in Hong Kong it will always be helpful to us to have a paragraph or two in the news letter on \"foreign affairs\" as seen from the Hong Kong angle and as affecting Hong Kong. We have, of course, all the Foreign Office telegrams with our Embassies and Posts in the Far East, so that I don't mean to suggest anything in the way of a resumé of them, but simply Hong Kong impressions and reactions.\n\nIncidentally, as regards foreign affairs, I have had a note from the Foreign Office to say that the Chinese Ambassador here told Sir Alexander Cadogan that he had received a personal message from Dr. Quo Tai Chi to the effect that the authorities in Hong Kong \"displayed an unsympathetic attitude towards China\" and that in this respect Dr. Quo \"felt that they were not acting in the spirit of the policy which was being followed by H.M.G.\".\n\n| Name |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| SIR MARK YOUNG, K.C.M.G. | good |\n\n(6094) Wt. 25403-113 40,000 ea. 2 sorts 9/40 T.S. 695",

He gave me an outline of the circumstances necessitating the establishment of G 5, its functions and the manner in which local conditions made those functions rather different from those of G 5 in other theatres. It was then arranged that I should meet the heads of the various branches of G 5, and I completed my round of the offices concerned during the past week. This was arranged to enable me to receive from each officer a more detailed survey of the work of his branch, and to ascertain what assistance, if any, he required from British organisations now and in the future.\n\n2.

It works closely with the F.E.A. and the appropriate Chinese Ministries and Departments. At present its policy is to give priority to the requirements of the American-sponsored Chinese Divisions.\n\nFrom the British angle Messrs.

        "content_text": "Editorial in Canton Daily Sun, 11th January, 1948.\n\nNO DEFAULT\n\nThe statement made by Foreign Commissioner T. W. Kwok in Hong Kong Friday evening and that issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nanking on the same day have clarified the Kowloon walled city affair from the Chinese angle. China has regarded that territory as belonging to her and has never waived sovereignty over it. Therefore that strip of land is not a part of the Crown Colony of Hong Kong nor the leased New Territories.\n\nSince it is Chinese territory, the Hong Kong authorities acted without justification in entering on the land in dispute and demolishing the shacks.\n\nMr. Kwok's statement revealed that the Chinese Government had been very categorical in its stand. There can be no other course for Nanking to follow, as Chinese rights are governed by the Peking Convention of 1898. It is high time that the walled city issue be settled once for all, as attempts were made in Hong Kong to regard it as a part of the leased territory. Why Hong Kong wants to lay claim to that piece of territory is not exactly clear, but it may be surmised the colonial authorities want to exert its control for the sake of convenience and prevent the return of Chinese officials, whose permanent presence might be embarrassing or not desirable at times for various reasons.\n\nWe believe the present controversy surpasses previous incidents in gravity, since hundreds of Chinese have lost their dwellings and are homeless. We hope the government of Hong Kong will accept the Chinese viewpoint in the light of past co-operation and mutual dependence, otherwise this will give rise to complications and frictions. Hong Kong has nothing to lose by acceding to the Chinese position.",

I have discussed with Mr. Sidebotham and the following is an agreed minute.\n\n2. I suggest we agree to Dr. Adams' suggestion (made by telephone) that the general despatch on this file and the despatches on the 2 individual schemes on sub-files 2/1 and 2/2 should be shown informally to the Inter-University Council for Higher Education in the Colonies at its next meeting (on 20th May) when it would be explained that the proposals have not yet received official blessing here. We might then expect to get a preliminary view by the Inter-University Council.\n\nAt the same time we should ask Finance Department to let us have as early as possible their views from the C.D. and W. angle on these proposals (Finance Department may also advise us that it is necessary to consult the Treasury on the proposed use of H.M.G. grant of £250,000 vide paragraph 3 d) of (36) on the 1948 file).\n\n3. Mr. Sidebotham has not had time to study the proposals in any detail yet owing to other Hong Kong preoccupations, but I have explained to him that Mr. Robison has pointed out in his minutes the unsatisfactory financial aspects of the proposals and that, so far as the scheme for a teaching hospital is concerned, it is doubtful whether the Colonial University Grants Advisory Committee will look on it with favour as a scheme for which they would recommend assistance. If these various objections are solved it looks as if we may have to ask Hong Kong to think again and suggest to them the possible diversion of some of H.M.G.'s grant to such of their five individual projects (para. 13 of No. 2) as it is considered essential to pursue at once, with a corresponding reduction in the scheme for extended lecturerships etc. which it is at present proposed to finance (for 15 years) from H.M.G.'s grant (para. 10 of No. 2). A decision on our line must await the views of Finance Department and the Inter-University Council. The latter may of course wish to defer any final view until their visiting Committee has been to Hong Kong.

        "content_text": "# APPENDIX A.\n\n## A SUGGESTION ECONOMICALLY TO IMPROVE HOUSING IN TENEMENT AREAS FROM A PUBLIC HEALTH VIEWPOINT, ESPECIALLY IN REGARD TO TUBERCULOSIS\n\nBy **Mr. R. S. W. Paterson, O.B.E., M.C.**\n\nIn Hong Kong, there is a high incidence of tuberculosis amongst the Chinese population. One of the principal causes of this is congestion and overcrowding in housing. A large number of tenement dwellings, which were built to regulations now long out of date regarding the proportion of open space against roofed-over area, are still in existence. I state this without any spirit of criticism against the progressively good work that has been done by the Building Ordinance Office, Public Works Department, in the past thirty years to improve the roofed-over open space areas, the angle of light, and depth of buildings.\n\n2.\n\nI think it is admitted that Hong Kong, and I mean by this the City of Victoria and Kowloon, is not a suitable place climatically for a person pre-disposed to tuberculosis. From the very nature of the siting and lay-out of both Victoria and Kowloon, there should be a free and easy circulation of fresh air. The City of Victoria, even in its most congested places, is not built to any appreciable depth but is spread more in the nature of a ribbon along the sea front and backed by hillside. The depth of domestic development is not much more than a quarter of a mile. In the more densely populated areas of Kowloon, too, I think particularly of the Yaumati area; there is no great depth of domestic development, and this area, too, as I stated previously, lends itself to a free circulation of air.\n\n3.\n\nWe have then these two bases on which to work: generally speaking, a bad climate and a reasonable natural lay-out. To exploit these for the betterment of public health, there are, from the town planning point of view, two methods. One is the provision of public spaces or \"Lungs,\" involving heavy expenditure in resumption costs, an expenditure that will either directly or indirectly be borne by the public purse, and from which the future owners will inevitably benefit by the resultant enhanced land values. The other, not so often exploited, method of working on a smaller scale, to my mind, will attain, in the circumstances peculiar to Hong Kong, a satisfactory result. The method I advocate is to make each domestic building provide its own sufficient \"lung.\" This method will, I think, be suitable and acceptable to Hong Kong both economically and commercially. In this, I mean that the cost will not become a saddled burden on the community but will be diffused over a long number of years; i.e., when improvement is ultimately brought to fruition, there is little doubt that vested interest will require and have a right to a reasonable economic return on the capital expended.\n\n4.\n\nCommercial interests in this Colony have long established themselves in areas particular to certain trades, and it is well known that, no matter how good the objective to be attained, it is difficult to remove either by cajolery or otherwise these trades to other areas. This presents a problem to be overcome in all schemes of replanning industrial areas, and it is more acute here because of the cost and lack of facilities to permit easy...\n\nPage 28",

        "content_text": "## Appendix A\nCommuting I use the word in the American sense. Town planning such as has been practised here in roughly the past thirty years, is not above criticism when present day methods are taken into account, but on the whole it has been well done particularly in view of the very rapid growth of out-lying districts. For example, domestic properties erected in the northern end of Nathan Road area are an improvement on the previously established type of tenement and that improvement holds from there to Cheung Sha Wan, to Sham Shui Po and finally finishing with the reclamation development at Wanchai. Here one does not have the ideal Chinese tenement but economically a reasonable building, fire-proof, well ventilated and with modern sanitation, helped by wide streets and a good angle of light.\n\n## 5.\nTo fulfil a plan to provide the many small \"Lungs\" against the few big \"Lungs\", I suggest that legislation be considered whereby property owners be given twenty years to provide each domestic property with its full open space or yard area as required by the latest Building Ordinance then in force. To get such a Bill through, I do not think there will be much or serious opposition from the vested interests. It would be twenty years before the requirements become fully operative and there is, therefore, sufficient time to recoup expenditure even were there exchanges of property at the time such a Bill became law.\n\n## 6.\nAlthough it does not come within the scope of this short memorandum there are one or two points in regard to the type of Chinese tenement which I would like to record. I think improvements might be considered to the main stairways to these tenements, these I think should be more on the principle of the Scots tenements where it is usual to have from the street on which the property fronts an entry through a covered way or \"close\" with the stairway at the rear in a projected wing. In this projecting wing, I also suggest there might be embodied a kitchen and a W.C. with shower. The removal of verandah columns and the use of well projected balconies is another point on which improvement could be made. The provision of through scavenging lanes in width to take sanitary carts should not be lost sight of.\n\n13th January, 1947.\n\n(Signed) R.S.W. Paterson.",

Higher Education Allocation.**\n\n8.4\n\n**Mr. Adams.**\n\nReference your Memorandum of 26th September 1947 on allocation by the Colonial University Grants Advisory Committee of the £6½ million for higher education.\n\nAs regards the reduction of the proposed grant to Hong Kong from £400,000 to £200,000 or £250,000 we feel that it is very important from the political angle to bear in mind Hong Kong's special position as an advance guard of British culture in the Far East and vis-a-vis China. From this point of view in particular everything that can possibly be done to rehabilitate the University should be done and we should therefore like to see at least the larger figure of £250,000 and, if possible, even more, allotted to Hong Kong.\n\n(W.I.J. Wallace.)\n2.10.47.\n\nPage 8\n\n## COLONIAL UNIVERSITY GRANTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.\n### GENERAL ALLOCATION.\n\nThe following memorandum has been received from the Executive Committee of the Inter-University Council for Higher Education in the Colonies.\n\n\"The Executive Committee of the Inter-University Council, at the invitation of the Colonial University Grants Advisory Committee, has discussed the probable claims on the £4 million allocated to higher education from the funds available under the Colonial Development and Welfare Act, and has attempted to make a relative assessment on academic grounds of these claims.\n\n2. The Executive Committee considered various methods whereby the estimated claims could be adjusted to come within the total sum available, but came to the firm opinion that any such adjustment, irrespective of the underlying principles, would involve attenuation of the financial support to an extent which would jeopardise the standards attainable in all the projects envisaged.\n\nThere seemed no alternative but to review the estimated claims listed in `C.U.G.C./2./46`, to consider each on its merits and to delete such items as appeared to be untimely or to carry a low priority on academic grounds. The following conclusions were reached:-\n\n| Area        | Allocation       | Remarks                                                                 |\n|-------------|------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| General     | £365,000         | For \"central\" schemes such as expatriation allowances.                   |\n| West Africa | £1,750,000       | Reduced from £2,465,000; help to territorial colleges deleted.          |\n| East Africa | £950,000         | Might be an under-estimate; full provision for medical school needed.    |\n| Mediterranean| £125,000         | Assistance approved; further aid pending clarity on University of Malta.|\n| Middle East | £0               | £1,000,000 deleted due to uncertainty in Palestine.                     |\n| West Indies | £2,035,000       | Retained.                                                                |\n| Far East    | -                |                                                                          |\n| - Malaya    | £750,000         | Retained; recognized as insufficient for proposed developments.        |\n| - Hong Kong | £200,000         | Retained; second £200,000 could be deleted.                              |\n| Other Areas | £0               | Deleted; though with great reluctance due to potential future claims.    |\n\n3. The Executive Committee:\n- (a) noted with concern that even with the reductions and deletions suggested, the total claims still exceeded the amount allocated;\n- (b) felt that on academic grounds it was most important not to attempt to spread the limited funds too widely at the risk of imperilling the standards of higher education;\n- (c) considered that there was a strong case on the intrinsic merits of the claims for help in higher education developments to justify an appeal for the allocation of a greater amount than £4 million.\"\n\n**Colonial University Grants Advisory Committee, 8, Park Street, London, W.1.**\n\n**WALTER ADAMS, Secretary.**\n10th December, 1946.\n\nPage 10\nPage 11",

We spoke this afternoon about your note of the 6th May sending Mr. Sloss' proposals for grants to Hong Kong University (amounting in all to £255,000) from the central C.D. & W. allocation for higher education.\n\n2. I have discussed with Mr. Cox and he, I understand, has discussed with you, I think we are all in agreement that these proposals should be put before the Executive Committee of the Inter-University Council on the 21st May, so that they may consider them from the academic angle.\n\n3. Before however the Colonial Office could comment on these proposals it would be necessary to have the recommendations of the Governor of Hong Kong. These we have not had.\n\n4. I understand from you that it might be possible for the Grants Committee to give some preliminary consideration to the proposals without their having an official reference from the Colonial Office - if only so that they might become acquainted with the sort of claim it is desired to stake. But obviously it must be made clear at some stage that the proposals have the support of the Hong Kong Government and of the Colonial Office.\n\n5. It occurs to me that Mr. Sloss might like to discuss his proposals with the Governor on his return to Hong Kong so that the Governor may then send us his recommendations for submission formally to the Grants Committee. If the meeting of the Grants Committee is so imminent that there would not be time for this we could perhaps telegraph the substance of Mr. Sloss's proposals to the Governor and ask them to telegraph back his comments. This would not however be so satisfactory, particularly as it might be of value to the Governor to know of the comments (if any) of the Inter-University Council before making his recommendations and, if Mr. Sloss will still be in this country for the meeting of the Inter-University Council he would presumably be aware of these comments and could inform the Governor of them.\n\n6. Perhaps you would be able to discuss the matter with Mr. Sloss in the light of the above. We also would of course like to discuss this question with him.\n\n7. If you are having copies of Mr. Sloss's letter to you and of its enclosure made for the Inter-University Council I should be very grateful if some copies could be made for us.\n\nh. 11.5.48.",

Government under the Defence Expenditure Plan. We know that in other cases where stores were received in India without detailed price documentation, India estimated the value on the best evidence available and made an appropriate charge against H.M. Government.\n\nIt would probably be useful if Commonwealth Relations Office took the matter up with the Government of India, pointing out that the stores were supplied during the period of the currency of the Defence Expenditure Plan and saying that we presume the cost has been charged to H.M. Government and that it therefore falls to India to make payment now. Perhaps, however, as a first step, the Colonial Office would ascertain the date on which the claim was lodged against India. Failure to lodge the claim before our recent discussions would not invalidate a claim against India, but the fact (if it proves so) that the claim was so lodged would be an additional point in favour of India's assumption of liability.\n\nWith regard to claims under Categories B and C, it is our view that these do not fall to be met either by India or H.M. Government. It cannot be too strongly emphasised that the Hong Kong Government decided against a War Risks Insurance scheme, under which certain deficiencies could, we presume, have been covered by the Colonial Office by virtue of the War Risks Insurance (Guarantees) Act, 1941, and in these circumstances, we cannot agree that...\n\nR.

No doubt you have evidence of other grass plots in the Colony which require careful nursing if the grass is to be maintained.\n\nApart from the use of the ground as \"Members' Club\" I would like to point out that it is used whenever required for ceremonial occasions such as \"Beating the Retreat\" by the Bands of H.M. Forces. It has always been used for \"Volunteer Cricket Week\" when our facilities are granted to non-Members, the Annual Lawn Tennis Championships of the Colony are organized by the H.K.C.C. during the period of which all competitors are admitted to honorary membership of the Club, and the ground has been made available to the L.T.A. for Exhibition Tennis by visiting exponents of the game. Interport Cricket has always been organized by the H.K.C.C. and the principal matches during those Festivals are played on the Club ground.\n\nThe Flower Show has been held on the Ground, and twice since the Liberation Schools Gymnastic Displays organized by the Education Department on behalf of the Rotary Club have been staged there.\n\nThe Club derives no financial benefit from these events and, may I add, our contribution to such worthy causes as the Boys and Girls Club Association, the Children's Playground Association, the Salvation Army and St. John's Ambulance benefited to the extent of $1,525 as the result of our last Annual Tennis Tournament.\n\nI can confidently say that my Committee is sufficiently broadminded as to try to see the question of our tenancy from every angle, in connection with which one point adduced against us retaining the ground as it stands centres around the vexed question of \"Traffic\". We have had it suggested that an alleviation to the present problem might be achieved by carving off a section of the South side of the Ground.\n\nIt may be argued that this is a matter beyond our scope, and possibly yours, but we are submitting a case for the retention of the Ground as it stands, a recreation ground for various games and for a large Membership, the value of which will be inordinately reduced by such a policy and I submit that in fact the H.K.C.C. ground does not provide any solution to the traffic problem of today. The real answer to this problem is one-way traffic which must pass on either side of the ground, but if additional parking space is the immediate objective I suggest that this could be better sought on Murray Parade Ground from where Peak and Robinson Road Traffic would avoid passing through the Queen's Road bottle-neck.\n\nMy submission to your Committee therefore is that certainly within living memory we have given a good account of our stewardship of the valuable plot entrusted to our care, that we have adopted a public spirited attitude towards the use of the ground, and finally that, if, as we believe, it is the intention of Government that ground should be maintained in its present condition and not used for building purposes, no useful purpose to the public will be served by uprooting from the ground held by them for nearly one hundred years a section of the community which is steadfast, law abiding and capable of fulfilling Government's wishes regarding the ground, in the spirit as well as in the letter.\n\nFor these reasons we hope that your Committee will be willing to recommend to Government that the H.K.C.C. be granted a lease on our present ground which will enable us to plan for the future welfare of that section of the community which it is our responsibility to serve, and to continue to provide those public functions which it has been our privilege to organize in the past.\n\nYours faithfully,\n\nH. OWEN-HUGHES,\n\nPresident.\n\n17\n\nAPPENDIX VI.\n\nA. APPLICATIONS MADE TO THE COMMITTEE.\n\n  \n    Applying for\n    Club or Organization\n  \n  \n    Old Civil Service Cricket Club\n    1.
