He had been la conversation re eatly with those who had been able to tall buo .of the extraordinary progress which the colony
had made, but it
impossible for him at ang rate forget the various Marie of happy chances which induced our. authorities at the time to seicot that island as a barbone for British commerce They would manier the barrów obangs we had of being condetaned, to Maono- obarming place of re- sideros, but a place practically without a port fer and a commerca se ctits. The difficultion made by the Portuguese, whom we were por. ↑ ** fectly prepared to protest, drovo us really to Hongkong. Then came the capture of Chasan. There was a difference of opinion as to whether Chuan would have been a more desirable aquisition, but if we had token Chun we mest in his opinion still has retainal Hong kong. There were, however, chisctions to it. Hunk kong in the eyes of the Ubinose was a place atistically unknown, and its luss would be no Eries detriment to the dignity of the Chiness. On the other hand, if we had taken. Chusan, the landing way of a, distrint of snel etadistical in- parinoco as the district of Shanghai, it would have humiliated the Government of the Empire ia the eyes of its subjects, and it would have presented to other nations precisaly what the grust Eroach journal of the day pressa as for of Hongkong, situated 1280 foot above withholding an evidence of our dosies for ter-Sea Level, commanding ingoitlesat Viere of ritorial aggrandisement.
