CHUNGKING

British Government. Freight rates by junk have enormously increased in recent years. The s.s. Loongmow, of about 1,000 tons gross tonnage, specially built for the Ichang- Chungking run, made her appearance in June, 1920, and on more than one occasion, steaming by daylight only, has completed in less than six days the round trip to Ichang. With the present accurate surveying of the Upper Yangtsze and the aids to navigation which have been installed, as well as the measures which are now being taken to organise a reliable pilotage service, the voyage from Ichang to this port by steamer is no longer the gambling proposition which it formerly used to be considered. It is now possible with suitable craft and the exercise of sufficient dis- crimination in the selection of crew and pilots for steamers to navigate the Upper River for eight months of the year. Fifty-four steamers and motor vessels ply above Ichang.
