Thirty beyond the city, we reach the mouth of the Kayou Lake, outside the east bank of which we have been travelling for some little time. Here our progress is unexpectedly barred, for just beyond the much of the lake the Canal is being dammer, so there is "no thoroughfare." Hunts for Teing-kiangpu must take to the Lake, entering the Canal again ten miles further on. Boats for the river Husi can, either follow the same courfe, or, if the wind is favourable, cross this lake and enter the Hung-tse Lake some sixty miles away. But, alas! the wind is not favour able for either co ise, so here we lie whilst the southern-bound boats skim swifily across the Lake and, entering the Canal, bid fair to reach Chinking in a few hours.
