This State, with the exception of the outlying town of Manwyne, which came into the family by marriage, is poor. The main valley is only 9 miles by 2-3 miles, but the side valley of Man Tung, situated beyond the hills to the east, is larger and richer.\n\nThe Nan Tien Sawbwa is thought to be at the bottom of the intrigues which the Chinese have started against his neighbour of Kangai.\n\nKangai, which includes the richest part of the Taping Valley, is situated between Nan Tien and the frontier. The clan name is also Tao. The old Sawbwa, who is about 55 years of age, is supposed to have abdicated according to Shan custom in favour of his son, a man of about 30, who represents the twenty-eighth generation in a direct line from the first Sawbwa. Both father and son are men of intelligent and benevolent disposition, who, considering the circumstances, govern their State well. They are both, but especially the father, devout Buddhists. The State is rich, but is sometimes subject to destructive inundations.\n\nThe main Tengyueh-Bhamo trade route passes straight through Kangai and Nan Tien. There are not many Kachins in this State, and those few give but little trouble. The main Kangai Valley is about 35 miles long by 4-5 miles broad.\n\n### 3. Chanta, or Santa\n\nThis includes a small portion of the Taping Valley on the right bank and a section of hill country behind it to the north. The Sawbwa is a child. His father was robbed and then executed some years ago by the Tengyueh official on a false charge of treason with the British. The government of the State has since been in disorder. The Kachins in the Santa Hills are under no sort of control.\n\n### 1. Laksa and Hosa\n\nThese are two small States in an upland valley at an altitude of 4,000-5,000 feet, along and above the east side of the Taping Valley; the beautiful Lahsa-Hosa Valley is watered by the Nau Sa, a small tributary of the Taping. The inhabitants are not Shan; they have a language of their own, and are known as Ashang. They are probably of Maru Kachin origin, with an admixture of Chinese and possibly of Burmese blood. They have attained a considerable standard of civilization, and are both industrious and peaceable; they have a great reputation as blacksmiths, and go down to Burmah to seek work. The Hosa Sawbwa is a minor; the Lahsa is an old man who has four sons, the eldest of whom manages his affairs; the administration is not bad, but the Sawbwa has little authority, and both ends of the valley are subject to Kachin raids. There is a fair path down the valley and through to Burmah, but it is only used by local traffic. The valley is some 30 miles long by 2-3 miles broad.\n\n## (B) Shan States in the Shweli or Lung Chiang Valley, on the right bank\n\nThe Shweli is an important affluent of the Irrawaddy; it rises to the north of Tengyueh, and joins the main river from the left side, near Ratha, in Burmah.\n\n### 5. Meng Wan\n\nThis is the basin of the Nam Wan, a small tributary of the Shweli. The valley is over 30 miles long and 5-6 miles broad at the broadest part; it is very fertile, but malarious; the administration was for years in the hands of the mother of the present Sawbwa, a young man of 23, who took over the Government four years ago. Since then the condition of the State has been going from bad to worse. The young Sawbwa is drunken, licentious, violent, and superstitious. He harbours quacks, gamblers, and criminals from Burmah and other places, while the numerous Kachins on both sides of his valley are under no sort of control. They are constantly thieving and cattle-lifting on the British side. Several large Kachin villages above the north-east of the valley have openly revolted and expelled the lawful Shan owners from the rice fields, which they are now cultivating themselves, without paying any taxes. In 1903 the Chinese Commandant of the frontier regiment, Ma Wu Hsiang, a Panthay, was stationed at the Sawbwa's residence for some time, and composed matters; but this season I find that the young Sawbwa has again begun his reckless courses, he has been taking medicines which are supposed to render him bullet-proof, he has shot several persons in a drunken fit, and he has taken to seizing Kachin maidens and confining them in his harem for some time, a proceeding which demonstrates both his imprudence and his bad taste. Further disorders may be expected, and the Tengyueh officials do nothing to restore order. This State is consequently poor. A secondary trade route from Burmah to Tengyueh runs the length of the valley. The Meng Wan Sawbwa's principal wife is a daughter of Nan Tien.\n\n### 6. Meng Mao\n\nThis State is situated along the right bank of the Shweli above the confluence of the Nara Wan. It consists of some hill-land and a rich valley, some 27 miles by 5 miles, a large part of which is uncultivated. The hills at the back of the town between the State and Meng Wan are thickly populated by Kachins, who are under no sort of control, and levy blackmail or pillage in the valley. The Sawbwa, a man of about 30, is weak but not vicious; he cannot make much headway against his Kachins, and he has scanty resources in the way of money, but he has recently shown some activity in his administration. This State is off the main route; the town of Meng Mao (about 250 houses) has an old wall, and in the Burmah wars of the middle ages is said to have been the headquarters of a Taotai.\n\n## (C) Shan States in the Shweli Valley, on the left bank\n\n### 7. Chefang or Sefang\n\nThis State is limitrophe with the British Northern Shan States; it consists of the lower part of the basin of the Meng Kwan River, a tributary of the Shweli and of the surrounding hills, which are inhabited by very unruly Kachins. Even the main valley (20 miles by 4) is poor and thinly populated as it is subject to had inundations, and, even in the dry season, consists mainly of a reed-covered swamp. The Sawbwa is a man about 30, of the same original stock as the princely families of Meng Mao and Meng Wan; the administration of the State is fairly good; none of the Chinese Sawbwas has worse Kachins or makes such serious efforts to control them. The late father of the present Sawbwa was a believer in drastic measures, and it is said that he used to boil his Kachins in oil, or roast them over slow fires, in order to persuade them to better courses. An important trade route from Burmah, the Ruby Mines, and the Shan States to West Yünnan leads straight through the Chefang Valley. The road is well maintained, and, in spite of the Kachins, serious robberies hardly ever take place along it.\n\n### 8. Meng Kwan\n\nMeng Kwan, or, in Chinese, Mang Shih, situated north of Chefang, comprises the valley of the Upper Nam Kwan River and the hills surrounding it. The main valley of this State, which on the east is limitrophe with the Chinese sub-Prefecture of Lung Ling, is some 16 miles by & in extent, and is both fertile and densely populated. With the possible exception of Kangai, the State is considered to be the richest near the border. Near the Sawbwa's residence there is a considerable bazaar resorted to by numerous Chinese caravans in the cold weather. The main Burmah Chefang-Lung Ling road goes through the State. The town, like all Shan towns (which are merely large villages), has a dilapidated appearance; lean pigs, ruined pagodas, heaps of cow-dung, majestic pipul trees, mean mud or bamboo wattle huts, lofty bamboo groves, and slatternly women exuding betel chew from their dirty mouths. This valley is very feverish; the hills round it, however, have been settled by Chinese from West Yunnan, and there are but few Kachins. The Sawbwa (clan name Fang) is a young man, weak and superstitious Buddhist, but his rule is not oppressive. The Sawbwa and the State have recently been brought to the brink of ruin by the \"squeezing\" operations of the Chinese Mandarins, of which I shall speak later at length.\n\n### 9. Meng Ting\n\nMeng Ting is another State further to the south, to which I may refer, though it does not otherwise come within the purview of this report. Meng Ting comprises the low-lying valley of the Nam Ting River which joins the Salwen from the east at Kunlong ferry. The State is a small one and is in a condition of disorder owing to the neglect of the Chinese, the incompetence of the Sawbwa, and the influence of the bad counsellors by whom he is surrounded. Notorious dacoits are constantly harboured in this State, and the Sawbwa is always quarrelling with his neighbours. Representations concerning Meng Ting have been made at Yunnan-fu, and a Chinese Deputy has been sent, who will meet the British Superintendent of the Northern Shan States, and endeavour to settle outstanding cases, and to suggest some means for the better government of the State in the future. If the Kunlong Railway ever materializes, it will run along this valley which is marshy, tropical, and malarious.\n\nThe population of the Shan States under China can only be given in the form of a rough approximation to the number of families who pay taxes and are supposed to ...\n\nPage 422", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-330 - Public Offices - 1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 451868, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-418 - Public Offices & Others - 1914", "page_number": 226, "title": "CO129-418 - Public Offices & Others - 1914", "content_text": "# 14156\n\nCOPY of a letter received from Messrs.

The principal difficulty which companies have to contend with is the recent introduction of about a dozen Chinese non-tariff companies, none of them particularly strong, but strong enough in the aggregate to make their presence felt. The suggestion is made that every company transacting Fire and Marine Insurance business in the Colony should be compelled by law to hold at least £10,000 worth of approved British Government stocks. The introduction of such legislation would prevent small and financially weak native concerns from doing business, and at the same time would be a protection to native policy-holders.\n\nProtection of Trade Marks.-My attention has been called by the Penang Chamber of Commerce to the unsatisfactory state of the law in the Colony with regard to the protection of Trade Marks, and they strongly recommend that effective measures be instituted in order to facilitate the registration of such marks as in Great Britain. They also mention the difficulties experienced by merchants in the Colony owing to the lack of protection from the copying of trade marks by the subjects of other countries, and they recommend that steps be taken to remove this handicap to British trade. It is also suggested that the country of origin should be shown in a prominent position on all goods imported in future from Germany and Austria.\n\nCommercial Intelligence Service. The need is expressed for an active official commercial intelligence service, both in the Straits Settlements and also in the F.M.S. At present the Straits Government confines itself to the issue of an annual volume showing a return of imports and exports, and a very brief annual report which deals with a summary of these returns in the space of half-a-dozen pages. I understand also that the Board of Trade has an Imperial Trade Correspondent at Singapore. These measures are stated to be totally inadequate to the needs of the trade, and the position of the Straits Settlements as the most important British entrepôt in the Far East. I would suggest the appointment of a Trade Commissioner for British Malaya to be stationed with his headquarters at Singapore. His field of activity should include not only the Settlements but also the Federated Malay States, and he should travel periodically through those markets which form the commercial dependencies of the Straits Settlements, viz., Siam, Borneo, and the Dutch East Indies, in order carefully to watch and report on the trend of trade throughout this area in so far as it might affect the interests of the Colony. He should be the official channel for all Government commercial inquiries, and should occupy the same relationship to the Straits Government as the present Trade Commissioners do to the Governments of the self-governing Dominions.\n\nChamber of Commerce.-The Singapore Chamber of Commerce and Exchange, and the Penang Chamber of Commerce, are both international bodies, and prior to the war included German members. The Singapore Chamber has now ruled that no persons, except natural-born British subjects, shall be eligible for election on the Committee, and also that any member who is the subject of a State hereafter commencing war with Great Britain shall cease to be a member from the outbreak of such war.\n\nIn view of the fact that the Singapore Chamber nominates one member of the Governor's Legislative Council, and of the proved need for a purely British representative commercial body in each market to act as the intermediary in commercial matters between the Government officials and the local merchants, and to receive semi-confidential information, I would strongly urge that purely British Chambers of Commerce be formed in the Straits Settlements, and in this recommendation I have the support of many of the Straits firms in London.\n\nRestrictions upon Enemy Activities after the War. The danger of restrictive measures in a great commercial entrepôt such as Singapore is that they would stimulate enemy interests to develop some other port in the archipelago, and would in fact drive them into the hands of the Dutch. German influence throughout Java and the Netherlands Indies is very powerful, and there is steady and increasing competition with the Dutch ports, from whence increasing shipments of produce are being made direct to Europe instead of through Singapore. This, however, can only be expected with improved steamship services from Java to Europe. Singapore with its favourable geographical position on the direct steamer route to the Far East, its powerful Chinese and Malay mercantile community with connections in all the islands, and its efficient shipping, harbour, and financial facilities, should, however, be able to maintain and improve its position, provided that it remains a free entrepôt, and that the local coasting services are improved and extended. So far, the only rival Singapore has as a coaling station is Sabang Bay (Puloh Weh), on the north coast of Sumatra, where the Dutch have made great efforts, with some degree of success, to build up a trade, and have attracted certain Dutch liners and tramp steamers. This port would not appear likely to oust the Colony from its predominant position—firstly, because its hinterland is undeveloped, and, secondly, because it is not a natural centre for native trade. It is almost certain that local feeling will be so bitter against German subjects for many years that they will probably transfer their activities to the Dutch islands, and will make strenuous efforts to divert the trade from the Straits Settlements. These efforts, however, need not be regarded with any concern, provided that British mercantile and shipping interests take active steps to regain those branches of commerce formerly in the hands of the Germans.\n\nWhile the main body of British mercantile opinion in the Straits is strongly opposed to any interference with the policy of free imports and exports by tariff or otherwise, there is a very strong feeling that the activities of enemy firms in the Colony should be regulated by the Government. The following suggestions have been made by the Penang Chamber of Commerce:-\n\n(1) That present enemy firms should only be allowed to trade in the Colony after the war under special licence of the local Government, and should be at all times subject to an adaptation of the laws controlling limited liability companies.\n\n(2) That the turnover value of their trade be subjected to a tax,\n\n(3) That they shall not be allowed to become representative agents of British manufacturers or other British commercial undertakings.\n\n(4) That they shall not be allowed to own land or house property.\n\n(5) In the event of the above suggestions not being acceptable, that the imposition of a poll tax be considered.\n\nFurther restrictions suggested by a leading merchant in the Colony are as follows:\n\n(1) That no enemy individual or firm should be allowed-\n\n(a) to acquire land or any mortgage on land; or\n\n(b) to hold shares in any mining company or any industry of Imperial importance in case of war; or\n\n(c) to be a magistrate, or be employed in the service of any Government, municipality, or dock board; or\n\n(d) to become a pilot for any Straits waters; or\n\n(e) to be a consul for any country but his own.\n\n(2) That measures should be taken, by subsidy to a British company or otherwise, to prevent an enemy shipping company from running the mail service between two British Dependencies, a state of affairs which, before the war, actually existed between Singapore and British North Borneo. The question of the precise form any restriction of enemy enterprise should take is one for the careful consideration of H.M. Colonial Office in consultation with the Government of the Straits Settlements, and is beyond the province of this report.\n\nIt would appear desirable, however, that the whole question of some form of control over all aliens within the Colony should be considered. The principal difficulty which will have to be faced is the position of the large Chinese community numbering 194,000 out of a total population of 260,000 in Singapore alone, who are the mainstay of the trade of the Settlements, and whose co-operation and goodwill are essential for the development of their industry and commerce.\n\nThe Chinese, as a race, are very much opposed to restriction of this kind, and it is precisely the freedom offered to them by the Colony in the past which has attracted them to the Settlements in preference to the Dutch islands, thereby contributing in great measure to the prosperity of British Malaya.\n\nAfter a careful consideration of the whole problem, I would make the following suggestions:--\n\n(1) That a system of compulsory registration should be enforced upon all alien individuals and firms other than Asiatics residing or carrying on business in the Colony.\n\n11", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 483830, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-461 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1920 [5-7]", "page_number": 183, "title": "CO129-461 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1920 [5-7]", "content_text": "Page 312\n\nFor and querit to A de secang ni zradi no drogef rea^ ord mom? „OSE[„Virunel FYES YUSSUR AGEVIT 2 recrić odt.

It is a very easy matter to then do the rest. However, this would be a good guarantee in general. One might go further, however. The Harbour Master or District Officer at Sabang, as the case may be, may telegraph, e.g., to the Netherland Consul in Macao or the Netherland Vice-Consul at Taipeh (Taihoku), or at Dairan (Dalny) whether an import permit, signed by him for legalisation of the issuing officer's signature, is genuine or not. Transhipment at Sabang would generally take a couple of days (at Sabang), there not always being present a steamer going to the destination of the opium. And, if needs be, the opium, as being very valuable cargo, can very well wait a few days till the consul's reply has been received. The delay in the delivery is for the concerned \"force majeure\" and the storing charges would be very low indeed.\n\nIt is of importance to note that one opium-carrying ship took on board a large quantity of cocoanuts, a suitable fruit for opium smuggling.\n\nThe name of Hadji Nomasee, the ship owner, mentioned in this connection.\n\nThe name of Mr. Namazee was mentioned in my presence by Mr. McElderry and I made use of the few words he said to call the Netherland Indian Government's attention to his name and the frequent calls of his vessels in our Colonial ports. I did not give Mr. McElderry's name, however.\n\nAs this matter may interest other officials besides yourself, I beg to enclose two copies of this letter and its enclosures.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\n(Sd.)\n\nM.

In reply thereto the report was received that in 1922 transhipment had taken place on the 11th of March to Dairen, and on 16th August to Vladivostock, and transit on 28th March, 22nd April and 19th July, to Keelung, Nagasaki and Macao respectively.\n\nAlso owing to these reports, it was proposed to the Government to supplement the provisions of the Opium Traffic (Transportation) Ordinance (Dutch reads: \"Opiumaanvoer-ordonnantie\") (Collection of Ordinances 1918, No.34; 1919, Nos. 3 and 145; and 1920, No.629) in such a way that opium, not covered by an import certificate, issued by the competent authority in the place of destination, may not be discharged in a Netherlands Indian port or transhipped there, except in case of shipwreck, etc. This supplement (or addition) has meanwhile been effected by the Ordinance No.202 of 28 April 1923 (Netherlands Indian Collection of Ordinances).

The information asked by you from the Governor of Acheen and Dependencies by your letter addressed to him will undoubtedly be supplied to you soon direct, \n\nIn respect of the above meant transhipment and transit at Sabang, it may be stated that the Netherland Consul at Bombay informed the Netherland Indian Government that the manifest of the S.S. \"Ahmedi”, which left Bushire in December/January last the following goods appeared:- \n\nwith destination Macao:- 110 packages, each containing 4 cases of opium of 160 Engl. pounds; \n\nwith destination Keelung, Kobe and Dairen:- 74 packages, \n\neach containing 2 cases of opium of 160 Engl. pounds; \n\nand 74 packages thereof were landed at Sabang, \n\nAccording to a report received from the Governor of Acheen and Dependencies of the last lot of 74 packages 29 were shipped to Keelung by the S.S. \"Shimei Maru\", 20 to Dairen by the S.S. \"Nemwah\" and the balance to Kobe by the S.S. \"Vollenhoven\". \n\nAn individual of this town, who is interested in shipping to East Asia, stated that generally the opium is sold to persons, who come to fetch it from the ship in small craft, some distance before any port in China can be reached. \n\nI may avail myself of this opportunity to thank you for the report contained in your letter No.711 of the 24th of April last.

Some vessels continue their voyage with the opium, others discharge it here wholly or partly. Declared destination Vladivostok, Dairen, Keelung (Formosa) and Macao. The vessels, lastly arrived here, had much trouble with the crews, principally the officers. These, not 1st class people, overindulge in liquor, which causes difficulties of different nature. The word \"Opium smuggler\" is then being used a great deal. Availing myself of this state of affairs, I have already learnt of many exploits of opium smuggling in the neighbourhood of Hongkong.\n\nOwner of or interested in those ships is a certain Hadji Hemazee at Hongkong. He is also the proprietor of the cargo of opium. Hemazee is the same person who, last year, started transportation of hadjis.\n\nIn the roads (or in port) are now:-\n\nTANGISTAN, opium carried, 176 chests (cases?) from Bushire, all discharged here; leaves for Fremantle and Sydney today.\n\nGENZAN MARI No.2, arrived in ballast from Hongkong; takes coal (450 tons) and about 100 chests (cases?) of opium ex Tangistan; leaves for Dairen on 28th instant.\n\nNAGASAKI, arrived from Bushire with 50 cases of opium; the opium remained on board; leaves 27th instant to Keelung.\n\nIt struck me that the Nagasaki loaded a very big quantity of coconuts.\n\nThe Governor of\n\nAcheen and its Dependencies at Koeta Radja,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-480 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1923 [4-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 496251, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-482 - Public Offices - 1923", "page_number": 331, "title": "CO129-482 - Public Offices - 1923", "content_text": "## \nin the Far East, arrangements were made in September last for consular officers in opium producing countries to report direct to the Hong Kong Government any information which they might receive as to consignments of opium shipped nominally to that Colony.\n\nThe enclosures to a despatch dated the 7th of June from the Governor of Hong Kong (a copy of which is enclosed) would appear to indicate that Messrs Nemazee frequently make use of Sabang as a port of transhipment.\n\n## B.\nThe importation of Persian Opium into Hong Kong except on a through bill of lading to a place into which it may legally be imported, has now been prohibited.

In his letter of the 16th May last, the Secretary of State suggested that steps should be taken by the Governor to obtain proof of the shipment of opium by Nemazee to China, as such shipments would clearly be a breach of Article 38 of the Hong Kong Ordinance, the importation of opium into China being forbidden by the Chinese law.

Fushimi Maru heard her calling up Sabang by wireless, and using as a call signal, the letters allotted to a station in Formosa. Finally on August 10th she left Bushire with opium, arriving at Sabang for docking, and leaving thence on September 1st. After this date all trace is lost of her; from intercepted letters she went to near Shanghai, and was expected at Haiphong. It was rumoured that she had been seen in a Bay near Swatow, about the middle of September, but this is uncertain.\n\nOf the first consignment of Persian opium it appears from the papers seized that the Kwong Hing Loong were responsible for 261 chests; the other chests certainly had Nemazee's marks, and may account for the ship's visit to Lacau before coming back here. Of the second consignment it appears from a cable in secret code which I was able to decipher, that 481 chests of Persian opium belonged to the syndicate managed by the Kwong Hing Loong, and the remainder, 156 chests, belonged to a man called Wai and others; it is probable that this was the portion which was to be delivered in the neighbourhood of Shanghai.\n\nOn reference to the report from the H.B. Resident at Bushire it will be seen that this amount is somewhat larger than that reported by him; to the Dutch authorities at Bushire the captain showed a manifest giving 560 chests only. The reason for the difference is not apparent in any of the papers.\n\nThe Kwong Hing Loong as soon as it was decided to form a syndicate to send the ship to Bushire for opium, began to solicit subscribers; the firm itself and the firm in Macau took up a certain number of chests, their partners took up a certain number, and the employees of the firm were allowed to come in at a favourable...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-498-14 Illicit traffic in opium and drugs 4-12-1925 - 30-11-1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 506011, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-498-14 Illicit traffic in opium and drugs 4-12-1925 - 30-11-1926", "page_number": 24, "title": "CO129-498-14 Illicit traffic in opium and drugs 4-12-1925 - 30-11-1926", "content_text": "## 4. \n\n312 \n\nAs soon as the ship was about to leave on her next opium trip, all the officers and members of the crew drew their wages up to the end of the current month, and also received an advance of two months' wages. The trip was calculated to last for three months, and during this time the crew were paid double wages, and also received a handsome bonus which was paid in instalments. The Captain Alfred Kenanteau received as much as $3,275 as a bonus for the November trip.\n\nA supercargo by name Yue Hong travelled on the ship; he was a partner in the Kwong Hing Loong, and had management of all the business connected with the opium cargo, exchanged cables with the headquarters here, and the ship could be traced by any mention of him as being at a certain place. On each trip, provision was made for going to Sabang, Keelung, and Shanghai, by the purchase of a considerable amount of the currency of these places; a considerable amount in sovereigns was also carried.\n\nOn the first trip, Sabang was missed, and record is found of the repurchase of the Dutch currency provided originally. In the case of the second trip, the trouble was taken to go to a regular European ship broker to fix a charter for 3 months, a charter really to themselves. The man who signed the charter party was not a partner, or even a manager. The charter party was for only $5,500 per month, and prohibited the ship going west of Bombay.\n\nThe chop which had been used to affix to the charter party was found with the chops of the Kwong Hing Loong firm; it had obviously been only used once or twice.

Fushimi Maru heard her calling up Sabang by wireless, and using as a call signal, the letters allotted to a station in Formosa. Finally on August 10th she left Bushire with opium, arriving at Sabang for docking, and leaving thence on September 1st. After this date all trace is lost of her; from intercepted letters she went to near Shanghai, and was expected at Haiphong. It was rumoured that she had been seen in a Bay near Swatow, about the middle of September, but this is uncertain.\n\nOf the first consignment of Persian opium it appears from the papers seized that the Awong Hing Loong were responsible for 261 chests; the other chests certainly had Nemazee's marks, and may account for the ship's visit to Macau before coming back here. Of the second consignment it appears from a cable in secret code which I was able to decipher, that 481 chests of Persian opium belonged to the syndicate managed by the Kwong Hing Loong, and the remainder, 156 chests, belonged to a man called Wai and others; it is probable that this was the portion which was to be delivered in the neighbourhood of Shanghai. Reference to the report from the H.B.M.

The trip was calculated to last for three months, and during this time the crew were paid double wages, and also received a handsome bonus which was paid in instalments. The Captain, Alfred Enanteau, received as much as $3,275 as a bonus for the November trip. A supercargo by the name Yue Hong travelled on the ship; he was a partner in the Wong Hing Loong; he had management of all the business connected with the opium cargo, exchanged cables with the headquarters here, and the ship could be traced by any mention of him as being at a certain place. On each trip, provision was made for going to Sabang, Keelung, and Shanghai, by the purchase of a considerable amount of the currency of these places; a considerable amount in sovereigns was also carried. On the first trip, Sabang was missed, and a record is found of the repurchase of the Dutch currency provided originally.\n\nIn the case of the second trip, the trouble was taken to go to a regular European ship broker to fix a charter for 3 months, a charter really to themselves; the man who signed the charter party was not a partner, or even a manager. The charter party was for only $5,500 per month, and prohibited the ship going west of Bombay.
