The absence of any mention of the San On district (# ) on the charts is significant. It is highly improbable that the com- pilers of the charts would have deliberately omitted or accidentally overlooked that district. Now, we know that the San On district was detached in 15731o from the Tung Kwun district to form two separate districts, the Tung Kwun and the San On districts, a cir- cumstance which confirms the suggestion that the Mo Pei Chi charts were drawn at least before the creation of the San On district. If this were the case, the Kai Yik Kok fort must also be dated before 1573, which would make it a Ming dynasty fort.

Between 1805 and 1810 control of the Chu Kong estuary slipped from the forces of the government. A new pirate leader, Cheung Po-tsai (1) became master of the seas around Tai Yu Shan.
