Now, however, sloce the "Isteat riot" has brought the little port into prominence, the last revised atlas discovered where Ichang really is, matters have changed. So, at least, we found it, when after a pleasant trip from Hankow during which we received many courteous favours at the hands of Captain Cain and the officers of the 7A-sing, we anchored opposite the dingy building that does daty for the British Consulate.
