LÜ-SHUN-K'OU (PORT ARTHUR)

Lü Shun-k'ou, lately the Chinese Naval Arsenal, but occupied by the Japanese since the 21st November last, is situated at the extremity of the Manchurian penin- sula, 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 boats; a graving slip, &c. There is also a torpedo establishment. The works, which were carried out by a French Syndicate, were completed at the latter end of 1890. This was the chief naval station in China, and the headquarters of the Pei Yang Squadron, but the Japanese on attacking it on the landward side found little difficulty in sub- duing it. The civilian population of Lu Shun K'ou is about 8,000.
