ANCHORAGE AT WHAMPOA,

This is about ten miles east from the Factories, and is the place where all foreign vessels, excepting small schooners, anchor, dis- charge and receive their cargoes. The town of Whampoa is on a strip of land between two branches of the river just above the an- chorage westward. On the south of the anchorage are, to the west ward, French Island, and Danes Island to the east of the former.
