After noticing the futility of attempting to move the loose, impending block of granite, which weighed over 500 tons, we returned by a very steep and somewhat hazardous path to the beach, and after a final plunge, returned once more to the Fairy,

The Chairman, in proposing a cordial vote of thanks to Dr Cantic, briefly commented upon that gentleman's remarks respecting fruit as a cause of cholera, He did not believe that ripe fruit caused cholera; it was green and ever-tipe fruit that did so.

There was one passage that told how, when everyone was at his wit's end with the poor patients, Dr. Candie appeared on the scene with bell tents and medicines, and medical comforts of every kind. There was also an account of a wonderful post mortem he held on a body on the sand, a friend holding a lantern for light. The vole of thanks was heartily accorded.

ISLAND:

Leaving Shanghai in the steamer Fairy at 9 p.m. on Friday July 27th, we came to an anchor in a quiet place under the South Bank, near the little beacon, about midnight, not caring to pro- ceed against a head wind and flood lide-which were sending sheets of spray over the hurricane deck of our small steamer. Starting again at doylight we reached the North Saddle Island soon after 10 a.m., and came to an anchor in one of the three bays of the island,' that on the North-East. This, and the other two bays are -about mile wide and 2 mile long, and one or other of them will afford shelter under all con- ditions of the wind. The situation was pleasent, Bright blue water forming an agreeable contrast with the muddy streak of Yangtsze water visible mile or two to the eastward a lofty hill on aur right, 780 feet high, with sides turied with the. most vivid green on the left a bold hill capped with granite-slabs-one huge isolated block, looking as if a pash would suffice to hurl it down a steep gully on the verge of which it was poised. The sides of this hill were cultivated nearly every where with Indian corn, the principal 'crop of the island; dwarf millet, taro, sweet potatoes, pompkins, ground nuts, &c. Down the large bill four or five smallstreams of pure water descended. and near the mouth of one of them a few small patches of paddy were to be seen. Farming, however, is evidently but a secondary business with the inhabitants, of whom there are three settlements perhaps of 150 to 200 in all, fishing being their main avocation, and from them we met everywhere much civility. Earlier in the senson the bare granite patches are covered with cuttlefish exposed to the sun to dry, but all is removed by the third week in July. Previous to such removal the ancient and fish-like odour must render the north end of the island an undesirable place of residence, for foreigners. We found no difficulty in purchasing fish of delicious flavour. We saw immense cod four feet long. and. weighing probably 30 to 41-lbs. (?) but we preferred smaller fry.
