(C.)-Communications.
A steam-launch from Victoria reaches the pier below Belchers, Stonecutters, and the West Pier at Kowloon in twenty and ten minutes respectively, and Kowloon Dock and Lyemun Pier in fifteen and thirty minutes respectively. A launch from Kowloon takes twenty minutes to reach Stonecutters, thirty minutes to get to the pier below Belchers, and thirty minutes to Lyemun.
A road runs round the island, passing, however, only the bases of the peninsulas. From Victoria to Sai-ki-Wan, on the west side of Lyemun, it is a carriage road, as also from Victoria by the col of Mount Davis to Aberdeen, thence a good six- to eight- foot-way runs by Deep Water Bay and Stanley to Tytam Tuk; here it mounts the eastern range, and runs along it by Pottinger Gap and Sai-ki-Wan Gap to join the carriage-road at the latter place.
A good six- to nine-foot hill-path runs west and east along the central range from Mountain Lodge to Wanchai Gap; here a path descends the steep slope, joining the main road at the east end of Victoria, while a path with a more gentle gradient runs south from this gap to Aberdeen.
Another well-made hill track ascends from Aberdeen up the side of Mount Kellet, and joins the central road below Plunkett's Gap. Another good hill path connects Victoria Gap with the Aberdeen Road at Pokfulum Reservoir. The main road from Victoria to the Peak runs up the steep hill-side to Victoria Gap, throwing off about one-third of the way up the hill a path with a gentler gradient to Magazine Gap. Two other hill roads connect the north with the south side of the island: one, starting from the east end of the Happy Valley, runs up to Wong-nei-Cheong Gap; here it bifurcates, one branch falling by an easy gradient joins the circular road a mile west of Deep Water Bay, while the other, passing the side of the New Reservoir, mounts to Reservoir Gap, thence falling by generally an easy gradient by Tytam Reservoir to Tytam Tuk; the second road runs up the valley from Quarry Bay about 5 miles east of Victoria to the gap above Tytam Reservoir, there joining the road from Wong-nei-
