LÜ-SHUN-K'OU (PORT ARTHUR)
Lü Shun-k'ou, the new Chinese Naval Arsenal, is situated at the extremity of the Manchurian peninsula, in the province of Shingking, in latitude 38° 47′ 36′′ N., and 'on- gitude 121° 15′ 49′′ E. It is a fine natural harbour, though not very extensive, and connected with the sea by a narrow entrance. It is strongly fortified and is armed with Krupp guns of heavy calibre. There is also a complete system of modern submarine mine defence. The steam basin, wharves, and workshops have powerful electric lights for night work, and along the coast defences there are powerful electric search-lights, commanding the approaches to the port. The entrance to the port has been deepened to 24 feet at low water and a basin constructed inside, 1,476 feet in length by 984 feet in breadth, with a depth of 36 feet 6 in. at high water, 25 feet 6 in. at low water. The port is well found. There are 5,181 feet of spacious quays with steam cranes from which the vessels can be commissioned and troops and crews embarked; a dry dock 370 feet on the blocks by 70 feet in width, which can be emptied in five hours by a steam pump; a pair of shears of 45-ton capacity; a small graving dock for torpedo bosts graving slip, &c. There is also a torpedo establishment. A Naval Hospital, presided over by two Chinese doctors trained in the Viceroy's Hospital at Tientsin, has lately been established. The works, which were carried out by a French Syndicate, were completed at the latter end of 1890. This is the chief naval station in China, and is the head- quarters of the Pei Yang Squadron. The civilian population of Lu Shun K’ou is about 8,000 and increasing, and there is a garrison of 5,000 trained soldiers.
