It seems that the pillots were all'in Binekok, baring brought up the vessels which came in in such unusual umbers, and consequently the culter was left in charge of a crew of two Malays and one Shamese, with a Calrete cask.

Churches. This village of Feng Lin, containing fully 5,000 Inhabitants, was liberally posted with notices in the early part of the year, exhorting the people not to sell land or houses to forelegners before first consalting the officials and getting their convent, There were posted up by order, of the Taotal, and were interpreted by the people as being left hand blow at misionaries and their work, The present trouble is largely due to the lafisence of these notices which have not vet bren taken dawn, despl'ethe protest of the British Consal.
