HAIPHONG.

This is the shipping port for Hanoi, Hai-Dzuong, and Namdinh, the commercial entres of Tonquin. It is situated in lat. 20 deg. 51 min. N., and long. 106 deg. 42 min. E., on the river Cua Cam, which is connected by two or more channels or creeks with that great river connecting Yunnan with the Tonquin Gulf, called the Song-koi. The town of Haiphong is about sixteen and a half miles from the light- house. The lighthouse at the entrance of the river, on the island of Hon-Dau, is visible at a distance of about six miles. The entrance to the port is obstructed by two bars; the outer one sand, the inner one mud. Haiphong is accessible, however, by vessels drawing from 19 to 20 feet. There is plenty of water in the river. Vessels anchor about a quarter of a mile from the shore in from 40 to 60 feet of water abreast of a creek communicating with the Song-koi. The banks of the river are low and consist of alluvial mud, from which the French Settlement and the town have with great labour and expense been reclaimed.

Haiphong proper is situated on both sides of the creek above referred to, and is in the midst of an extensive rice swamp with low lying, swampy land all around it
