Plate 7. A fishing trident for spearing pomfret (X) from Pui O, Lantau Island, Hong Kong. By courtesy of Mr. Wan On (*) of Pui O, Lo Wai. Fitted to a 10' pole, and used from a sampan. About 30 to 40 years old, and made by travelling blacksmiths who used to visit this area every year. A smaller, three-pronged version was also in use for spearing smaller fish in the shallows by wading.
Plate 8. Side view of the last of the incense-powder works at Tso Kung Tam, Tsuen Wan. Converted from water power to electrically-driven machinery about 1950, the pole of the water-wheel can be seen protruding from the building, top right.
