The East side of this channel is the safest, but this entrance should only be used near high water.-The soundings at the Northern entrance, between the two rocks marked

uncover 6 feet" and " uncover 4 feet," have shoaled three quarters of a fathom.

Admiralty Charts 104 Korean Archipelago, 1259 Tsan-liang-hai harbour, and China Sea Directory, Vol. IV, pages 63-71, are affected hereby.

WATER SUPPLY.

The continued absence of rain and the conse- quent scarcity of water in the Pokfúlam Reservoir, render it of urgent importance that great economy

should be exercised regarding the present dimin- ished supply.

Householders are earnestly requested to adopt

all possible precautions against a lavish use of water obtained through the Mains from the Reservoir, and they are desired to prohibit their

servants from procuring water from that source

for the irrigation of gardens.

Provided always that such Bailiff do not wilfully misrepresent, or suppress any material fact in obtaining any such directions from the Registrar or Deputy Registrars.

If a. verdict or judgment is given for the defendant or the plaintiff becomes non-suited or discontinues the suit after issue joined, or if on demurrer or otherwise judgment is given against the plaintiff, the defendant shall recover his full costs and shall have the like remedy for the same as any defendant has by law for costs in other cases.

12. No such suit shall be brought except within three months after the act of omission or commission complained of. Notice in writing of every such suit and of the cause thereof shall be given to the intended defendant one month at least before the commencement of the suit.

The plaintiff shall not recover if tender of sufficient amends is made before a suit is commenced or if after a suit is commenced a sufficient sum of money is paid into Court by or on behalf of the defendant and the defendant under- takes to pay costs when taxed.

13. All fees receivable in the Supreme Court shall be payable in stamps subject to the provisions of the Stamp Ordinance. The fees heretofore payable under the Sheriff's Ordinance, 1873, shall continue to be payable in respect of process issued by the Court until a new scale of fees for the Supreme Court generally shall be prepared and adopted.·

If the endorsed warrant for the apprehension of the fugitive is duly authenticated, and such evidence is produced as (subject to the provisions of this Act) according to the law ordinarily administered by the magistrate, raises a strong or probable presumption that the fugitive committed the offence mentioned in the warrant, and that the offence is one to which this part of this Act applies, the magistrate shall commit the fugitive to prison to await his return, and shall forthwith send a certificate of the committal and such report of the case as he may think fit, if in the United Kingdom to a Secretary of State, and if in a British possession to the governor of that possession.

Where the magistrate commits the fugitive to prison he shall inform the fugitive that he will not be surrendered until after the expiration of fifteen days, and that he has a right to apply for a writ of habeas corpus, or other like process.

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTICES.

The following Hydrographic Notices are published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 20th January, 1883.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

The substance of this Notice, as soon as it is received on board, is to be inserted in red ink on the Charts affected by it; and introduced into the margin, or otherwise in the page, of the Sailing Directions to which it relates. See Admiralty Instructions, Navigation and Pilotage, pp. 312

and 313.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

(No. 212.)

CHINA SEA.

UNIFORM SYSTEM OF COLOURING BUOYS AND BEACONS IN CHINESE WATERS.

The Chinese Government has given Notice, dated 4th August 1882, that the following system of colouring buoys and beacons in Chinese waters has been adopted:

The side of the channel is to be considered starboard, or port, with reference to the entrance to any port from seaward.

BUOYS.

1. Buoys coloured red mark the starboard side of the channel, and must be left on the starboard hand by vessels entering.

2. Buoys coloured black mark the port side of the channel, and must be left on the port hand by vessels entering.

3. Buoys painted in red and black horizontal bands mark the fairway, and should be passed close-to.

4. Buoys painted in red and black vertical stripes mark the ends of spits, and the outer and inner extremes of banks, shoals, or extensive reefs, where there is a navigable channel on either side.

5. Buoys painted red and black chequered mark rocks in the open sea, also obstructions of small extent having channels on either side of them. When marking the latter, they will be placed seaward of the danger.

6. When two chequered buoys-red and white and black and white-mark an obstruction, the red and white buoy marks the starboard side of the channel, and must be left on the starboard hand by vessels entering; and the black and white buoy marks the port side of the channel, and must be left on the port hand by vessels entering.

7. Wrecks will in all cases be marked by green buoys, with the word wreck painted on them in white letters; when a wreck lies in the open sea or in a position where there is a navigable channel on either side of it, the buoy will carry no other distinguishing mark, and will in every such case be placed seaward of the wreck.

The numbers on wreck buoys will be painted in white, and placed above the word wreck.

Wreck buoys marked with an even number must be left on the starboard hand by vessels entering. Wreck buoys marked with an odd number must be left on the port hand by vessels entering.

NOTE. All other distinguishing marks to buoys will be in addition to the foregoing, and where such are employed, a particular description of them will in each case be given in the published List of Chinese Lighthouses, &c.

Each buoy will have an iron plate on its outside, above the water-line, with the name of its district and station (as given in the published List) stamped thereon in English and Chinese, to insure its identification if found adrift.

BEACONS.

1. Beacons coloured red mark the starboard side of the channel, and must be left on the starboard hand by vessels entering.

2. Beacons coloured black mark the port side of the channel, and must be left on the port hand by vessels entering. 3. Beacons painted in red and black vertical stripes mark spits and the outer and inner extremities of banks, shoals, or extensive reefs, where there is a navigable channel on either side.

4. Beacons painted red and black chequered mark rocks in the open sea, also rocks of small extent having channels on either side of them.

5. When two chequered beacons-red and white and black and white-mark a rock or reef, the red and white beacon marks the starboard side of the channel, and must be left on the starboard hand by vessels entering; and the black and white beacon marks the port side of the channel, and must be left on the port hand by vessels entering.

NOTE. The above rules for painting beacons apply in each case to the body of the structure. When a beacon painted a single colour, either black or red, is surmounted by a distinguishing mark, such mark may be painted the same colour as the body of the beacon, or with that colour and white combined, or white alone.

When the body of a beacon is painted in two colours, the same colours only may be used for the mark surmounting it. Whenever a distinguishing mark is used, a particular description of it will be given in the published List of Chinese Lighthouses, &c.

Beacons on shore, to enable bearings to be taken, or to give lines of direction for crossing bars or entering rivers, harbours, &c., are to be painted so as to make them as conspicuos as possible. Red, black, and white are the only colours to be used, and a particular description of such marks will be given in the published List.

By Command of their Lordships,

Hydrographic Office, Admiralty, London, 17th October, 1882.

This Notice affects China Sea Directories, vol. II., 1879, and vol. III., 1874.

FREDк. J. EVANS,

NOTICE NO. 13.

JAPAN.

The following remarks relating to Lui-Kui islands, and to Kiusiu, have been received from Lieutenant A. Carpenter, commanding H.M. Surveying Vessel Magpie, 1881-2.

[All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation, 2° 35′ W. in 1882.]

LUI-KUI ISLANDS.

KAKIROUMA.*-The south-east and south coasts of this island are protected by a fringing reef extending one to 3 cables off shore, containing several boat harbours, and one junk harbour; the latter is situated 2 miles southward of caps Ototsino, near which is a village of some 1,500 huts, principally of a bee-hive pattern. The entrances through these reefe are marked by poles. Soundings of 30 to 40 fathoms, gravel, will be obtained at a distance of 4 cables from the reefs.

The island is hilly, wooded, and well cultivated. The north point is marked by two hills and a steep fall to the point from the outer one. The peaks are continuous to near the south point (Ohotabu) where the land is low. North of Black point on the western side of the island, is a high black cliff (400 feet); the cliffs then decrease to Ohotabu where they disappear.

AMAMI OÖ-SIMA (or HARBOUR) ISLAND is well cultivated with sugar, wheat, potatoes, bananas, and sago palm. Some of the cliffs are black giving an appearance of coal. The strata are in places much distorted, and the higher spurs denuded to sharp ridges. Paths are cut in every direction as in Japan.

The dialect and attire of the natives are Japanese. The houses are partly beehive pattern, and partly Japanese. Trade is carried on by schooners from Japan.

Oö Sima or Porpoise Strait. †-Directions.-Entering from eastward, choose a mid-channel course through the strait, observing that the north shore has the least number of sunken rocks off it. A bank of 6 to 7 fathoms, coral and hard ground, lies 11⁄2 miles from this entrance, but westward, the strait has a mid-channel depth of 25 to 50 fathoms. This bank is not safe to anchor upon, as not only is the bottom hard, but it is subject to tide whirls.

A depth of 160 fathoms, coral sand, will be found 5 miles off the eastern entrance to Oö-Sima (Porpoise) strait, and 100 fathoms gravel, one and a half miles off the western entrance.

Anchorage.-At the anchorage formerly marked on the plan, on the north shore 3 miles from the east entrance, the bottom is sand, but the 10 fathoms line of soundings is within 2 cables of the shore, so that in the event of a strong gust down the hills a vessel is liable to drag her anchor.

Kuji Mura Bay (the site of the observation spot), has anchorage for two vessels at single anchor in 10 and 12 fathoms. The bottom is fair holding ground, being a mixture of mud, broken coral and gravel.

Probably no anchorage in this strait would be secure for a vessel during a typhoon.

HANCOCK BAY, ‡ on the western side of Amami-Oo-Sima or Harbour island, is about 6 miles deep.

Sots-taka-saki, the south-west point of the bay, may be distinguished on approaching by a large land slip on its northern side, which gives it the appearance of a red cliff; the rocky islet off it is small, and not seen till close in.

Outer point, from the westward, is a remarkable conical shaped peak, and has the appearance of an island. Fortune point. One cable N.W. of Fortune point, a depth of 63 fathoms, rock, was found, with deep water close to, it is therefore to be avoided, as rocks may exist in the vicinity.

The Fairway up the bay to the anchorage off Asken-saki, is free from danger, but the outlying points should be avoided as they all appear to have ledges extending from them, from a half to one cable distance.

Anchorages. Large ships may anchor in safety on a line between Tree point and Observation point, in 18 fathoms, mud, care being taken to avoid the reef which extends three-quarters of a cable southward of Tree point. Small vessels may anchor in Curlew bay, and between Pillar and Lava points.

Supplies are not plentiful, though fowls, eggs, goats, and pigs, may be had in small quantities. Sago, rice, and sugar cane are the principal products.

There are about 100 Japanese on Harbour island.

Tides. It is high water, full and change, at 7h. 30m. Springs rise 7 feet. §

KIUSIU.

NAGASAKI. ||—Dock.—In April 1882, there were depths of 27 to 37 feet, at high water spring tides immediately off this dock, and the bottom runs level to the north-eastward.

See Plan of Hancock Bay, No. 771.

The description of Hancock bay is by Staff Commander J. B. Walker, H.M.S. Iron Duke, 1882.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH JANUARY, 1883.

41.

A bank with 18 feet at high water, runs out 14 cables E.S.E. of the south frontage of the dock, and this rises to a ridge of from 8 to 14 feet at high water. A post marks the shore end of the ridge which sometimes dries, and a red pear shaped buoy the outer end. The dock should therefore be approached from northward of East.

A ridge of 24 feet at high water, existed across the actual entrance, 20 yards outside the caisson, but this was being deepened to 27 feet.

A red mooring buoy is moored in 34 feet at low water springs, and a vessel 400 feet long, would just swing clear of the bank at half tide.

Hydrographic Office, Admiralty, London, 26th September, 1882.

The information contained in this Notice is to be carefully considered, to be noted in the Sailing Directions and compared with the chart when the ship is navigating the parts to which it refers.

WEST COAST OF KOREA.

The following information relating to the entrance to Salee river, approach to Séoul, Prince Imperial Archipelago, and Prince Jerome gulf, is the result of a preliminary examination måde by Lieutenant R. F. Hoskyn, H.M. surveying vessel Flying Fish, 1882.*

[All Bearings are Magnetic. Variation 4° 35′ W. in 1882.]

APPROACHES TO SALEE RIVER.

Shoals. A depth of 2 fathoms was obtained, S. by W. W., distant 10 miles from the south point of Sho-tung-tau, or Sho-Chung-tau island.

A depth of 1 fathoms was obtained, N.W. W., distant 63 miles from the summit of Moulaku-tau island.

A bank of 1 fathoms lies E. by N., distant 4 miles from the summit of Moulaku-tau island, and apparently extends for a considerable distance in the direction of the island.

A bank of 1 to 2 fathoms, extends W. by S. about 3 miles from the south point of Whitthall group. Between this bank and the bank E. by N. of Moulaku-tau, there is a depth of 2 to 23 fathoms.

Between the south point of Whitthall group and the islet off the north-west point of Tcha-oul-to Marolles islands, there is a depth of from 16 to 20 fathoms. Shoal water extends from the Whitthall group to Richy island.

A bank, dry in places, extends 6 miles N.E. by E. & E. from the islet off the north-west point of Tcha-oul-to. The north-east extreme of this bank lies 24 miles S.W. by S. of the south point of Richy island. Between this bank and the shoal water lying between Whitthall group and Richy island, is a straight channel, 12 miles wide, with depths from 8 to 10 fathoms.

Directions.-Approaching Salee river by this route, caution is necessary in crossing the bar between Moulaku-tau and Whitthall group.

When about one mile south of the south point of Whitthall group, shape a course E. by N.

NOTICE NO 22.

BORNEO, NORTH-EAST COAST.

The following information relating to the north-east coast of Borneo, from Mallawallé island to Sandakan harbour, has been received from Lieutenant R. Hoskyn, commanding H. M. Surveying Vessel Flying Fish, 1881-2.

[All bearings are Magnetic. Variation 2° 0' E. in 1882.]

Coast.-The north-east coast of Borneo, between Silk island in Mallawallé channel, and Sandakan harbour, is generally low, densely wooded, intersected by numerous rivers and streams, and for a considerable distance from the shore the water is shallow and abounds with coral reefs.

As it would be impracticable from any mere written description, to navigate with safety among the numerous dangers which lie eastward of Mallawallé island, it will be sufficient to describe the principal dangers, the appearance of the various islands and objects which present themselves as marks, and the routes usually adopted by mariners acquainted with the coast; for further information the charts must be referred to.

EGERIA ROCK, in the Mallawallé channel, was found to lie 24 miles S.W. by W. of the small islet off the west end of the island of Mallawallé. This rock, almost in mid-channel, is composed of two small heads of coral close to each other, and has less than 6 feet on it at low water, with a depth of 8 to 9 fathoms close to, all round.

Tide rips.-A. heavy tide rip was observed about 7 miles westward of Egeria rock, and 34 miles from the north coast of Borneo. The boats were sent to examine it, but owing to the strength of the wind and current at the time, no satisfactory results were obtained.

LIN-GI-SAN.-A chain of remarkable rocks 25 to 30 feet high, lying about N.N.E. E., distant 14 miles from the north-east point of Bankoka.

Passage reef.-At the distance of 14 miles N.E. by N. of Lin-gi-san rocks, water spring tides, is easily distinguished, and may be passed in safety on either side. which is a small sand cay, lies 3 miles E. S., of Passage reef.

lies Passage reef; it is awash at low- Another reef, awash at low water, on

Clearing mark.-Banguey peak in line with west extreme of West island, Mallawallé, leads midway between these reefs.

Mandiralla, an island about half a mile in length east and west, is surrounded by a coral reef which, on the north and east sides, extends to a distance of about three-quarters of a mile.

It is densely wooded, the tops of the trees being 144 feet high. Foul ground extends about 3 miles E.S.E. of Mandiralla. Bankoka Hill, is a conspicuous, wooded hill, 587 feet high.

KUKUBAN is a sand cay situated on the south-west part of a coral reef of about half a mile in diameter; it is covered with trees 70 feet high.

Rocks.-Southward of Kukuban are two dangerous rocks; the northern lies S.E. by S. 1 miles from Kukuban, with 6 feet water on it, and can generally be seen from the mast-head. The southern rock, lying S. by E. & E., distant 2 miles from Kukuban, has less than 6 feet water on it, and is very difficult to see. Much caution is therefore necessary when navigating in this neighbourhood.

TANI-BOUNGAAN is a thickly wooded island of considerable extent, about 4 miles south-east of Bankoka hill. Bush island is a sand cay on which are a few bushes, the tops of which are about 10 feet high.

Foul ground.-Much foul ground exists between Mandiralla, the coast of Bankoka, Tani-boungaan, and Bush island. TIGABU is an island about a mile in length, and densely wooded, the tops of the trees being 227 feet high.

Reefs, extend about 3 miles in a north-easterly direction from Tigabu island. Between Tigabu and Kukuban are two reefs which are easily seen from the mast-head.

Tibakkan.—Situated about 2 miles north of the west point of Tigabu island is a sand cay covered with trees 108 feet high. Dangers extend 11⁄2 miles in a north-easterly direction from this island.

Tamboulian, Bu-a-ning, and the adjacent reefs form the south-eastern boundary of the Mallawallé eastern dangers. The channels between the Mallawallé eastern dangers, Tibakkan and its surrounding dangers, and Tigabu with its reefs, are each about a mile in width, and may be navigated with safety.

N.E. and S.W. BLUFFS.-Are two prominent headlands on the west coast of Jam-bangan. The former is 442 feet high, and the latter somewhat less.

From the coast of Jam-bangan, reefs and dangers extend to a distance of about 5 miles. On these reefs are many sand cays, two of which, Mabahōk and Kalangaan, covered with trees, are especially conspicuous; the former is 84 feet, and the latter 80 feet high.

SIPEENDUNG lies about 4 miles E. by S. & S. of Tigabu; it is a sand cay covered with bushes, the tops of which are about 20 feet high. Dangers extend south and south-west of this island, nearly three quarters of a mile, and for about 23 miles in a N.N.E. direction the soundings are irregular, varying between 4 and 12 fathoms. On the north-west side dangers extend 14 miles.

Between the Sipeendung danger and the Tigabu reefs, there is a clear passage 11⁄2 miles wide.

One and a half miles south-west of Sipeendung is a small group of reefs, between which and the dangers south and south-west of Sipeendung, is a clear passage three quarters of a mile wide.

SANDY ISLAND is a small sand cay which sometimes covers; it lies about 4 miles S.E. by E. of Sipeendung. Reefs.-Between Sandy island and Sipeendung is a reef which is easily seen from the mast-head. One and three- quarter miles S.W. of Sandy island is a patch of 4 fathoms, between which and Sandy island, there is a patch of 7 fathoms, and the soundings are somewhat irregular. Three quarters of a mile south-east of Sandy island is another patch of 4 fathoms. †

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH JANUARY, 1883.

A Reef which has not been examined lies 7 miles N.E. by N. N. of Sandy island. LEONAN is a sand cay 5 miles S. E. of Sandy island, which also sometimes covers. It is situated on, and about one mile from the north-east end of an extensive chain of reefs which lie in an E.N.E. and W.S.W. direction.

Reefs.-North-eastward of Leonan cay lie two reefs, the first distant 3 miles, and the second about 4 miles. Between the first of these and the reef on which Leonan is situated, is a clear channel nearly 2 miles wide.

Two miles N.W. of Leonan is a patch of 2 fathoms.

BILLEAN.-Situated 10 miles north-castward of Torongohak point is a sand cay on which are a few bushes about 38 feet high. It is surrounded by coral reefs and dangers which extend in a north-easterly direction nearly 4 miles.

Billean North Dangers.-Eight miles north of Billean, and about the same distance east of Leonan cay, is an extensive group of coral reefs. As these dangers have not been completely examined they should be carefully avoided.

Tagypil is a densely wooded and very conspicuous island situated 42 miles S.W. by S. of Billean cay; the tops of the trees are 184 feet high.

Bankuruan Cays.-Are two small sand cays covered with bushes. Billean, Tagypil, Bankuruan, and the mainland are almost connected by a chain of coral reefs.

Cay.-Five miles S.E. by S. S. of Billean is a large and conspicuous sand cay.

The soundings

LANKAYAN is a sand cay covered with trees 100 feet high, and is surrounded by a coral reef. for about 4 miles north-north-eastward are irregular, varying from 4 to 15 fathoms, one patch of 3 fathoms existing 3 miles N. by E. of the north point of the cay.

Kestrel Shoal. This shoal, situated 4 miles east of Lankayan, and over which H.M.S. Kestrel passed in the year 1879, is found to have 2 fathoms least water.*

BO-ANN, the northern of a chain of islands which run in a N.N.E. direction from the mainland, is about one mile in length N.E. and S.W., 192 feet high, surrounded by a coral reef, and its lower parts are densely wooded.

Si-ba-ung.-A small coral reef lying W. N., distaut 4 miles from the north part of Bo-ann island. few bushes 35 feet high on this reef.

There are a

Flying Fish rock lies 24 miles east of Bo-ann island, and has 22 fathoms on it at low water.† LIHIMAN lies 2 miles south of Bo-ann island, is about three-quarters of a mile in length N.E. and S.W., densely wooded, and 172 feet high. Both Lihiman and Bo-ann are mud volcanoes, which appear to have been active within the last few years.

Islet.—Half a mile N.E. of Lihiman is a small islet with which it is connected by a coral reef. LANGAAN is a small wooded island 120 feet high, situated on the south-west edge of an extensive coral reef. Within a radius of 3 miles, north and east of Langaan, the soundings are irregular, varying between 6 and 18 fathoms.

Great and Little Bakkungaan are two wooded islands 190, and 157 feet high; they are surrounded by numerous coral reefs.

Silingaan is a small wooded island 137 feet high. About one mile east of Silingaan, is a reef on which is a sand cay, awash at high water.

Gulisaan lies about 14 miles S. by W. of Silingaan; on it is a clump of conspicuous trees 76 feet high.

LIBARRAN is a low wooded island about 11⁄2 miles in length, E.N.E. and W.S.W.

Low island is merely a clump of mangroves, on the reef extending from the mainland.

Pulo Tikus is a wooded pyramidical island, 234 feet high.

CLOTILDE ROCK.-A small coral reef, part of which is about 2 feet above high water, there is about 20 fathoms of water close to, all round it.

Laurel rock, in lat. 6° 9′ 30′′ N., long. 118° 29′ 0′′ E., is 6 feet above high water.

Baguan is a densely wooded island 228 feet high.

TAGANAC.—This island is about one mile in length, N.N.E. and S.S.W., and is surrounded by a coral reef; it is densely wooded, the tops of the trees being 554 feet high.

Taganac patches.-Irregular soundings, varying from 5 to 14 fathoms, were found to exist between 3 and 6 miles W. by N. of the north point of Taganae, this position is occasionally marked by tide ripples.

Caution.-Commander C. Johnstone, H.M.S. Egeria reports having obtained a cast of 4 fathoms "with Taganac island, bearing S. 48° E., Bahala bluff S. 11° W., and Baguan island S. 74: E., it was apparently, of some extent, to the "westward of this."

This shoal was not found by the Flying Fish, but the neighbourhood was but partially examined.

Gubbins reef is a dangerous patch of coral with about 6 feet water on it, lying 7 miles W. S. of the south point of Taganac island, and 11 miles N. by E. E. of Bahala north point. ‡

BAHALA. -An island about two miles in length, north and south, lying in the entrance to Sandakan harbour. The northern part of it is low, the southern rises in two conspicuous hills 643, and 544 feet high, these slope gradually to the westward, but their eastern faces are imposing precipices.

Nunuyon Laut and Nunuyon Derat are two low wooded islands, lying about 2 miles north-west of Bahala; they are almost connected with the mainland.

SANDAKAN HARBOUR.-Of this magnificent harbour, only the part north of Pulo buy has been examined. This portion of it lies in a N.E. and S.W. direction, and open to the N.E.

At the entrance, between Bahala and Towsan Dooyon, it is 14 miles wide, from which place it gradually increases in width, forming a spacious basin of rather more than 3 miles diameter.

Three-peaked hill. The nothern shore is hilly; two of these hills are very conspicuous from seaward;` one, on the point south-west of Bahala, being 674 feet high; the other, a three-peaked hill, is 844 feet high, and both, like Bahala, slope gradually on the western side and are somewhat precipitous on the eastern.

See Notice to Mariners, No. 132 of 1881. See Notice to Mariners, No. 132 of 1881.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH JANUARY, 1883.

Towsan Dooyon, forming the eastern side of the harbour, is low and densely wooded; a shoal of considerable extent runs north-eastward from Towsan Dooyon.

Elopura, the principal town, is built on the north shore, three-quarters of a mile from the point. In the early part of 1881, the population was about 800, composed principally of Malays, Chinese, and Sulus.

Dangers.-The only danger is the Atjeh rock, lying three cables S.E. of the end of the wooden pier at Elopura; it has 2 fathoms of water on it at low water springs. There was a small black buoy on it in 1881.

Anchorage. The most convenient anchorage is from half to three-quarters of a mile south of the town, in 8 or 9 fathoms mud.

Supplies. No fresh provisions could be procured in Sandakan in 1881. Water is plentiful and good. Excellent fire-wood was obtained at the rate of seven or eight dollars per thousand pieces; (one thousand pieces were found to be equal to about 24 cwts. of coal,) and occupied a space of 240 cubic feet.

MALLAWALLÉ CHANNEL TO SANDAKAN HARBOUR.

Directions. The route most commonly adopted by vessels trading on this coast, is that through the Mallawallé Channel, thence south of Kukuban, Tigabu, and Sipeendung, north of Leonan, passing midway between it and the small reefs north-eastward. From this position a course may be shaped to pass about 4 or 5 miles north of Billean.

This route is probably the shortest; the principal difficulties are the two isolated rocks south of Kukuban, and the narrowness of the channel south of Sipeendung. The dangers south of Kukuban may be avoided by adopting the route north of Kukuban and the reef lying É.S.E. of it, and the either proceed south of Tigabu and Sipeendung as before, or through the channel between Tigabu and Tibakkan, north of Tigabu reefs; thence north of Sipeendung, east of Sandy island, passing through the channel between Leonan and the reef north-eastward of it, with due care but little difficulty will be found in navigating these channels.

Most of the dangers are easily seen from the masthead, except when the sun is right ahead, and the numerous islands and wooded cays afford excellent marks for bearings. It will generally be found advisable to take the channel next north of ̧ Leonan, as from this position, Tagypil will be distinctly visible, and shortly afterwards Billean; whereas by taking a more northern route, there is practically nothing to guide the navigator, and he will probably get foul of the North Billean Dangers.

Pass Billean island, at a distance of from 4 or 5 miles, Lankayan also should be given a berth of about 5 miles. Having passed Lankayan, no difficulty will be experienced in making Sandakan, by passing well northward of Bo-aan and Langaan islands, thea between Taganac and the Taganac patches, all dangers will be avoided, and a straight course may be shaped for the mouth of the harbour.

Caution.-It should be borne in mind, that no reliance can be placed on the position of Sand cays which have no vegetation on them; the action of the sea frequently causes them to shift considerably and even disappear.

Tides. At Sandakan, it is high water, full and change, at Oh. Om. Springs rise 6 feet 9 in. Neaps vary from one foot, to 4 feet.

At Tigabu, it is high water, full and change, at 11h. 38m.; springs rise 6 feet 6 in.; neaps vary between 0 feet 10 in. and 2 feet 6 in.; at both places the tides during neaps are exceedingly irregular.

In the Mallawallé channel, the flood was observed to run to the eastward and the ebb to the westward, and at springs had a velocity of about 24 knots.

On the coast between Mallawallé and Sandakan, no regular tidal stream was perceptible, but when the N.E. monsoon blew steadily, there appeared to be a constant set to the N.W.

TONG-KING GULF.†

LEI-CHAU PENINSULA.-The Coast.--Northward of the wooded islet, situated near the north-west point of Tong-chong bay, the coast appears to form a small bay, off the northern point of which, Nau-sa-Kok spit (Nau-sa point), is a narrow dangerous lava reef, extending some 21⁄2 miles westward; the outer half covers at high water.

Nau-sa bay. From Nau-sa point, the coast trends E.N.E. into a long bay, about 6 miles deep, and 10 miles in width, named Nau-sa bay, at the head of which, is a river and village of that name. This bay is terminated by Oo-shek point, north of which is a smaller bay terminated by Mong-tau point, off which, shoal water is said to extend for 5 or 6 miles.

*The information herein, is in continuation of Hydrographic Notice, No. 13 of 1882.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH JANUARY, 1883.

Carpenter range. The coast near Nau-sa bay is low and wooded, rising gradually to the Carpenter range, the summit of which, is a high flat hill visible from near cape Cami.

Ooshek hill is an isolated peak westward of mount Carpenter, and from the vicinity of Tong-chong bay, appears like a round islet on the horizon.

GUIE-CHAU ISLAND.-The Gulf north-east of Guie-chau is shallow, and many fixed fishing stakes may be seen, some in 9 fathoms, and a few even in 12 fathoms water. There is no reason to suspect shoal water on meeting with them, but irregular and shallow soundings do exist eastward of a line drawn from Kwan-tau point (Pakhoi), to Mongtau ledge.

Discoloured patches of small diameter having an appearance of shoal water are very common between Guie-chau and Pakhoi. They are only detached mud whirls, or weed patches.

Current.-When the current is westerly in Hainan strait, there is an easterly and north-easterly set near Guie-chau

island.

Chai-une island, except from eastward, shows a high bold cliff at its west extreme, above which is the summit of the island (500 feet high).

HAINAN ISLAND, EAST COAST.

TY-CHAU OR TINHOSA island, is 23 miles in extent in a N.N.W. and S.S.E. direction, and formed by two hills united by a sandy isthmus which partly covers at high water springs, and from bearings of about N.E. by E. and S.W. by W. appear as two islands. The southern hill (1,083 feet high)'is'in lat. 18° 39′ 50′′ N., long. 110° 28′ 0′′ E., very bold and is higher than any other summit on this part of the coast. The northern hill has two summits about half the height of the other. They are covered with thick foliage chiefly pandanus and palmettos.*

A sandy spit with 3 fathoms on it least water, lies 6 cables S.W. of the north extreme of the island, and is 5 cables long in a north-east and south-west direction. There are soundings of 5 to 7 athoms north-west and south-west of it.

Directions.-Anchorage.-Tinhosa south hill is steep-to on its south and east sides, and a vessel may stand in westward of the island, until the sand isthmus bears N.E., when steer for it, and anchor in 6 fathoms sand, as soon as the western points of the north part of the island are in line.

Tinhosa island has risen in importance, as an anchorage or refuge during strong N.E. Monsoon, since steam vessels have adopted the direct route from Singapore to Hongkong. It affords a perfect lee, and is the last anchorage at hand before a vessel leaves the friendly shelter of the coast, and steers out for Hongkong. It must not, however, be used as a typhoon harbour, for it is open to the southward. The German steamer Quinta, took refuge here during a typhoon in 1881, and on the wind shifting was driven ashore.

Route. If coasting up under the lee of Hainan island, a steamer should pass midway between Nankin island and Mun-chau coast, then giving a wide berth to Green point which is foul for a distance of 11⁄2 cables, stand over for the centre of Tinhosa, and when within a quarter of a mile of it, stand to N.N.W., keeping at that distance from the island until the spit is passed.

Green point consists of a long range of low hills terminating in a cliff, off which a shoal extends about 1 cables. The coast, from Green point, trends N.E. N., 12 miles to False point, showing a flat country faced with sand beach, with here and there hills rising like islands on the coast, Some of these hills project seaward, and form shelter for junks during the N.E. Monsoon. Baker Hill, one of these, has a small pagoda north-west of it.

Round island, (340 feet high,) and about 200 yards in diameter, lies 9 miles, N.E. N. of Green point, and a rock awash at low water lies half a cable's length S.E. of it.

False Tinhosa is an islet 150 feet high, off False point, and from a S.S.E. or N.N.W. bearing, a pillar rock shews at its eastern extreme. A rock (10 feet high) stands on the end of a ledge running out N.N.W. of False Tinhosa. There is little or no shelter under this island.

The Coast. From False point, which is 494 feet high, the coast trends northward nearly straight for about 15 miles, where another point projects, having hills behind it. At 61⁄2 miles from False point, two black rocks, 20 to 30 feet high, guard the entrance to a small river where there are cocoa nut plantations. The country is flat with a few small hills dotted about, and there is deep water within 2 miles of the shore as far as the two black rocks; but, north of these, breakers com- mence, extending half a mile off shore up to the next point. There was no other islet seen up to lat. 19° 04′ N.

•

TONCON is a dark coloured mountain, from which a point with three or four hill-rocks stretches 21⁄2 miles to S.S.E. A cluster of rocks above water, one of which is 15 feet high, extend half a mile from the point. It does not appear that there is proper shelter under the point in a strong monsoon, for when the Magpie visited it, the swell was rolling in, and breaking heavily along the whole line of shore, and several rocks just above water were seen in the most sheltered portion. The bay was also full of discoloured patches.

Caution. If standing northward by night along this coast, give Toncon a wide berth as there is always a set on to

the shore.

Mofou point.f-Owing to the continual thick weather during the N.E. monsoon, Mofou point is frequently difficult to distinguish by vessels making it from north-eastward. It may be recognised by a conspicuous conical grave close to its extreme. Also, the hills west of Mofou point are of a raddish soil whilst those southward of the point are higher, and covered with black patches. A reef fringes the coast to the southward.

DIRECTIONS.-Vessels bound through Hainan strait from eastward, are recommended to make for North bank, as the soundings give good indications when approaching it, and when their position is determined, either of the channels can be taken.†

Captain Marsden, of steam vessel Kang-chi, who has used these channels on more than fifty runs from Hongkong, states that he steers for North bank, picks up the 20 fathoms line by sounding, and if dusk or thick, runs 5 miles pass it, when he turns north or south to feel for one of the banks. Having picked up a bank he steers through, generally sighting Hainan head.

Vessels bound from Hainan strait to Hongkong finding the monsoon heavy, may, on clearing the banks, shape course under fore and aft sails for Tien-pak, on nearing which, the wind and sea usually moderate. They should then pass north- ward of 'Round island by day, or outside Mandarin's Cap by night, and close past Wy-caup, when they can haul up for Great Ladrone island. Fine weather will generally be experienced between Nauchau and St. John islands.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 20TH JANUARY, 1883.

HAINAN ISLAND, SOUTH AND WEST COASTS.

YU-LIN-KAN-BAY.*—During the N.E. monsoon, the wind blows from E.N.E. right across the bay, so that after rounding cape Bastion, a vessel will fetch into the inner harbour. The holding ground in the bay is good.

Tides. During single day tides, for time of high water, calculate from a high water full and change of 9h. 05m., p.m., low water being at 9h. 05m., a.m.

SAMA BAY.-East island, is low and long, whether viewed from southward or westward. West island is 200 feet high and pointed.

Horn Mountain, 3,160 feet high, is very conspicuous from eastward, and has a sharp knob on its summit. From westward it looks high but well rounded.

GREAT CAPE,-rock.-A dangerous rock which covers and uncovers, lies S.W. distant 31⁄2 miles from Great cape. There is deep water between it and the cape.

YAI-CHU BAY.-Snake point, the west limit of Yai-chu bay, lies 10 miles W.N.W. of Great cape, having at its extreme two hummocks, 90 feet high, which shew open when viewed from S.E. or from W.S.W. The high land closes the shore at this point in one or two peaks, and then recedes and forms a background to the level plain of Yai-chu, which appears to be fertile and well watered, closing the coast again at Great cape which is bold with a flat summit 1,740 feet high, with a slight saddle in it.

Islets.-Off Snake point are two islets, Mud islet, 223 feet high, and Button islet, which is conical, 256 feet high. There are no other islets in the bay.

Maddock rock, which covers and uncovers, lies 2 cables N.E. of Button islet.

Winds. When within 5 or 6 miles of this part of the coast,

the N.E. monsoon blows from N.E. to E.N.E. off Yu-lin-kan,

Light and variable off Snake point,

The Coast from Snake point, strend in a W.N.W direction for 20 miles to Inkohai village which marks S.W. point. The low coast line forms a long bay, fronted with sand beach 20 to 40 feet high. Two hills, False (400 feet), and Flat (700 feet high), form a foreground near Three-tree anchorage, which is 2 miles south-east of S.W. point.

South Bank, having probably less than 2 fathoms, sand, occupies the centre of this long bay, and is connected with the beach. To pass outside it, do not bring Mud island to southward of the Great cape saddle.

S.W. POINT, situated in lat. 18° 31′ 15′′ N., long. 108° 41′ 0′′ E., is bare and sandy, and the country is flat; but towards S.W. hill, foliage commences, and cocoa nut plantations are common. This appearance is carried nearly up to Shoal point, where sand again predominates, and from here to Pyramid point, which lies 10 miles northward, it is a long sand plain, with occasional scrub and lagoons.

Inkohai Village, or Ng-go-hai, on S.W. point, is built of stone. There are numerous fishing stakes off it. Three low trees on the sand beach, south eastward of it, mark the sheltered anchorage during N.E. monsoon.

S.W. Bank, with about 3 feet water on it, is situated S. 73° W., distant 43 miles from S.W. point, and is 11⁄2 miles long in a N.W. by N. and S.E. by S. direction. It generally breaks, and is steep-to on its off shore side, but it is connected by a shallow ridge to a shoal of about 6 feet N.W. by W. W., distant 34 miles.†

Outer Bank, (sand) in lat. 18° 37′ N., long. 108° 23′ E., lies N. 75° W., about 18 miles off S.W. point, and is a dangerous isolated shoal of about 11⁄2 fathoms. It is steep-to both northward and southward, and appears to be the end of a ridge that extends from S.W. Bank. It breaks in a moderate swell but would not show in smooth water.

A shoal with about one fathom on it, part of a ridge, lies N. 86° W., distant 74 miles from South West point.

A shoal of about 3 feet, lies S. 73° W., distant 41⁄2 miles from South West point, and is one-and-a-half miles long, in a N.W. by N. and S.E. by S. direction.

A shoal of about 3 feet, lies N. 28° W. distant 18 miles from South West point, and another with the same depth, N. 34 W., distant 5 miles.‡

A shoal breaks about half a mile N.W. W. of Inkohai village, half a mile off shore.

A shoal breaks 5 miles N.W. by N. of Inkohai village and 2 miles off the adjacent shore.

Shoal point. From Inkohai village, the coast trends in a general northerly direction to Shoal point, which is 22 miles N. by W. of Inkohai village. Shoal water named Kum-ing-sha extends for several miles off Shoal point, and blocks navigation except for junks.

Caution. This part of the coast should not be approached from seaward within 8 miles, or in less water than 20

fathoms,

Directions.-If steering to north-westward and desirous of visiting Inkohai village, steer in for mount Etna in line with the village N.E. N.; or if Etna is obscured, steer in with the east end of village in line with Flat hill N.E. † E.

False hill in line with village leads on to S.W. bank.

Deep water exists between S.W. bank Inkohai village and is carried up 3 miles towards the sand bank situated 5 miles N.W. by N. of S.W. point. It is probable there is a channel leading to seaward from here, passing to northward of Outer bank, but it has not been surveyed, and should on no account be attempted without a pilot.

If it is desired to visit the coast between S.W. point and Shoal point, a passage will be found for vessels, midway be- tween the sand bank and the point 3 miles north of the village, after passing which, they may coast up in about 3 fathoms, at a distance of 2 to 4 miles from the beach.

Mount Etna (4,970 feet) is a very remarkable summit. It shows as a lofty precipitous crater from S.E. or N.W., but viewed from westward, it appears like a single pinnacle. It can be seen plainly from Yu-lin-kan or from Back-li bay. The mountain ranges are continuous from the vicinity of Tinhosa island round to S.W. hill, which marks the extreme of the Etna range.

Several fine valleys occur, notably at the head of the Yu-lin-kan inner harbour, at Yai-Chu bay and one west- ward of Snake point. From S.W. hill, northward as far as Hoita, the ranges lie far inland, and although they close the coast somewhat at that port, from thence they turn away sharp eastward leaving only detached hills between them and the north coast.

1883.

BACK-LI BAY.-Pyramid point, the south limit of Back-li bay, is a low flat sandy point bearing a steep rock 138 feet high, the summit of which is in lat. 19° 4′ 30′′ N., long. 108° 36′ 30′′ E.

Anchorage.-Pyramid point affords protection from S. W. monsoon for small vessels, in 3 fatlioms, mud, 9 cables N.E. of the rock. A reef fringes the shore at a distance of 2 cables from high water mark, and 3 fathoms will be carried close up to it.

The coast towards Shoal Rock.-A rock 10 feet above high water, shows about 2 miles south of Pyramid point.

miles. point is one long sand beach, nearly straight, and off it there is shoal water for many

CHUN-YAN BAY is small and shallow, with a river entering it by several mouths. There is a walled town 4 miles south of Bluff point.

Bluff Point (120 feet high), is bold and rocky, with 8 fathoms close to its north shoulder, shallowing to 4 fathoms off the shoulder entering Chun-yan bay. There is a high sand cliff on both faces, that on the south face, falling abruptly into Chun-yan bay. This declivity kept on a bearing of N.E. by E. E. will, allowing for tide, lead between the northern and southern sand banks off this coast.

Banks.-The extent of the Northern bank is doubtful, as it seldom breaks, but the Southern bank stretches out from See-ku-sá sand point about 5 miles, shows discoloured, and breaks in a fresh breeze. Six fathoms will be found 6 miles off this point, 9 and 10 fathoms between the banks, and shoaling to 6 fathoms in Chun-yan bay.

There is probably shelter from S.W. monsoon immediately northward of Bluff point.

The Coast.-From Bluff point the coast trends N.E. by E. 15 miles to Hoita, commencing with a high sand beach and getting low and darker coloured towards Saddle hills, which are 1,060 feet high. Near Hoita the coast is foul.

HOITA* is very conspicuous with its white houses and junks, and the Saddle hills are the best guide from any dis- tance, they being the only isolated coast hills between Pingmar and Bluff point.

Anchorage.-Do not approach within a mile of the village without a pilot, but anchor in 7 fathoms with the small white fort bearing E.N.E.

The coast from Hoita trends N.N.E. for 7 miles to Flat point, which is comparatively high (200 feet), but level, and then turns into Chappoo bay.

CHAPPOO BAY.-The reef in the centre of the bay has a sand islet on it, 6 feet high.

Pillar Point.-A small pagoda stands low down near the point. High sand shows on both sides, the pillar being The small islet connected with Pillar point at low water only distinguishable from northward, when close in to the coast.

is 40 feet high.

Coast.-At the extreme of Pingmar point there is a pyramidal bluff 50 feet high. From this the coast is low, round a small open bay to Pillar point.

HAU-SUI BAY.-The land is low and flat all round the bay, but rises a little inland southward and south-eastward. Eight miles east of Pingmar point, is a cone shaped crater topped hill, (Koong-chin), 683 feet high.

Anchorage.-Enter the bay with Koong-chin hill, bearing S. by E. E., until Chun-kwan-yan (Stumba island), bears East, when haul up, keeping it a little on the port bow. Anchor in 4 fathoms, three-quarters of a mile S.W. by W. of the island.

Heong-pi.

Heong-Pi.-About 4 miles E.N.E. of Chun-kwan-yan island is a very small boat harbour formed by reefs called MOUNTAINS.-The Ng-Chi range (5,870 feet), pronounced Ung-Chee, signifies the Great Five Fingers, and This is not visible from seaward, though other ser- is named after one of them that has five remarkably steep peaks on it. rated peaks are frequently visible. They occupy the centre of the island, midway between False Tinhosa and Pyramid point, and the highest of them are usually visible from Hainan strait.

North of the Ng-chi range, the whole island is level, with here and there isolated hills.

The most remarkable of these,

is Dome (2,645 feet high), which appears from the northward like its name implies, but as a perfect sugar loaf from the westward.

Southward of these, range below range of hills, slope gradually to the south coast.

HAINAN STRAIT.

SOUTH SHORE.†-From Heong-pi, the coast trends in a curve 15 miles north-eastward to Western Cap, which is a conspicuous lump, like Mandarin Cap near Ching-mai point.

Reefs, some of which show at low water, fringe the shore as far as Western Cap, and this coast should not be approached within 2 miles, or in less than 10 fathoms. From the Cap, the coast turns south-eastward forming an open bay 6 miles in width, at the eastern end of which, Hong-pi-kok marks the vicinity of Maniu.

HOI-HOW BAY.-Backsha spit, has extended S. by W. W., 24 cables, and therefore should not be used as a leading mark.‡

NORTH SHORE.-Cape Cami,§ Tides.-It is high water full and change at cape Cami in the winter months at 2h. 45m. a.m.

Directions.-The banks westward of Hainan strait give plenty of warning by soundings, to vessels approaching from The widest passage is between the bank north-westward or westward, and but little warning by soundings, from eastward. with 18 feet on it, and Laamkoo, care being taken to keep at least 2 miles off the coast.

Vessels proceeding to Pakhoi from eastward, round cape Cami at a distance of 2 miles, and then haul up for Chai-une East or west currents of consi- island, sighting it, and then passing west of Guie-chau island before steering for Kwan-tau point, Pak-hoi.

Those bound to Hai-Phong, should make Bacht-long-vi and then the Norway islands. derable strength may be experienced on this track, but very little north or south set need be feared, unless the monsoon is very strong.

Vessels from the westward, should not attempt to make the strait on a dark night, as both coasts are low and dangerous. If, however, either coast is well aboard by dusk, a mid-channel course may be taken until the lights of Hoihow town or those of the vessels in the bay are sighted. The bay is frequently empty of vessels.

SOUTH COAST OF CHINA.

NAU-CHAU ISLAND.-Directions.-Approaching from north-eastward, Jacquelin hill will be first sighted, do not approach it within 9 miles, until it bears W. by N., by which time Nauchau island will be seen, when steer for the north point of that island.

Erratum.-In Hydrographic Notice, No. 13, of 1882. Page 4, line 22, for Noo-shik or Oo-skek hill which appears low and isolated, read Carpenter range will first appear, as a long flat hill, then the Shenwan range, &c.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial

practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

GAOL.

The following Rules are published under Section 6 of Ordinance 10 of 1858.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 25th January, 1883.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Rules for the management of Prisoners employed on the Hongkong Public Works, and for the guidance and instruction of the Officers who shall have charge of those prisoners. Made by the Governor in Council under Section 6 of Ordinance 10 of 1858.

PRISONERS.

1.-The Prisoners shall be divided into parties of 12 men, and each party shall be known by its number as No. 1 Party, No. 2 Party, and so on.

2.-Each party shall be under the charge of an Assistant Turnkey armed with a short sword for his defence, and who shall have the number of his party on a badge affixed to his left arm; and the whole of the parties shall be under the charge of a Head Turnkey armed with sword and revolver, who shall be assisted by a Turnkey armed in the same manner.

3. The Prisoners will work in coupling chains of about 12 feet long, fastened to the prisoner by anklets and padlocks.

4. If the work is near the Gaol, the prisoners shall be marched in to their mid-day meal at 12 noon, but if at too great a distance from the Gaol, the meal will be sent to them.

5. The prisoners will breakfast at 6.20 A.M., and leave the Gaol for their work at 7 A.M., rest one hour for their mid-day meal from 12 to 1, and knock off work in the afternoon so as to reach the Gaol at 5 P.M. (9 hours daily including marching in and out.)

6.-On Saturdays the prisoners will work until 12 noon, and take their mid-day meal in the Gaol. 7.-They will have 1 pint of congee thickened with cheap meat served to them when they reach. the Gaol at 5 P.M., previous to being locked up for the night.

8.-No prisoner with a longer sentence than 8 years shall be sent out to work until he has served one third of such sentence, and no prisoner shall be sent out until he has completed either 4 months' penal labour, (shot drill and stone carrying, crank, &c.,) in the Gaol, or 6 months' separate confinement.

OFFICERS.

9. In addition to the Head Turnkey in charge of the District, the Turnkey to assist him, and the Assistant Turnkeys in direct charge of the parties, 3 or 4 Sikh Guards shall be posted in conspicuous positions round the works, armed with loaded rifles, to prevent escapes.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 27TH JANUARY, 1883.

10.-The Head Turnkey will be continually on the alert during the day, repeatedly visiting the parties in his district, and ascertaining that all is correct or otherwise. He will take discreet measures to prevent the escape of prisoners, and to effect their recapture if they are successful in escaping. He will carefully observe the officers under his charge, and report, weekly to the Superintendent of the Gaol, on their efficiency in the management of their parties. He will enter in a book the number of parties, number of prisoners, and the names of the officers under his charge, with the name of the district where working, and the description of labour. He will be responsible to the Surveyor General for all the tools used by the prisoners. He shall on no account allow people to loiter near the prisoners while at work, or to converse with the officers.

11.-The Turnkey shall consider himself to be under the command of the Head Turnkey, and shall assist him in the performance of his duties. He shall move about continually among the parties, keeping a watchful eye on both officers and prisoners. When needed, he shall take charge of detached parties, and shall at such times use great discretion in the disposal of his officers so as to prevent the escape of any prisoners, remembering that their safe custody should be his first care.

12.-The Assistant Turnkeys in charge of parties must remember always that the safe custody of the prisoners shall be their first care. They shall, therefore, place themselves when on the works so as at all times to command a good view of their men; they shall repeatedly count their prisoners during the day, and never turn their backs towards them, and shall on no account use a spade, pick, or any other tool, so as to place themselves at a disadvantage with the prisoners.

13.-They shall be careful to ascertain that the anklets, chains, and padlocks are in proper order, and minutely examine them before leaving the Gaol, when knocking off work for the mid-day meal, and before returning to the Gaol in the evening.

14.—In the event of a prisoner attempting to escape, the officer in charge of his party will blow his whistle to attract the attention of the other officers, and will then fall-in the remaining prisoners of his party and await instructions from the Head Turnkey.

15.-The Head Turnkey, the Turnkey, and the Sikh Guards will not fire at an escaping prisoner unless his escape cannot be prevented by any other means; and then only endeavour to disable him, remembering that the death of the man is to be avoided if possible.

16.--The Assistant Turnkeys will keep a book in which they will enter the numbers, names, and sentences of the prisoners of their respective parties, making special remarks as to the industry of each prisoner, and they will be responsible to the Head Turnkey for the tools used by their parties.

13. In pursuance of the warrant aforesaid, the Bailiff shall seize the moveable property found in or upon the house or premises mentioned in the warrant, and in the apparent possession of the person from whom the rent is claimed (hereinafter called the debtor), or such part thereof as may, in the Bailiff's judgment, be sufficient to cover the amount of the said rent, together with the costs of the said distress.

14. The Bailiff shall not seize :-

(a.) Things in actual use, in the hands of a person at

the time of seizure;

(b.) Tools and implements not in use, where there is other moveable property in or upon the house or premises sufficient to cover such amount and costs; (c.) Goods of temporary guests at an inn; (d.) Goods of lodgers at a furnished lodging house; (e.) The debtor's necessary wearing apparel;

(f) Goods in the custody of the law;

(g.) Goods delivered to a person exercising a public trade, to be carried, wrought, worked up, or ma- naged in the way of his trade or employ.

15. On seizing any property under section 13, the Bailiff shall make an inventory and appraisement of such property and shall give a copy of such inventory and appraisement notice in writing according to the form in Schedule D, or to the like effect, to the debtor or to any other person upon his behalf, in or upon the said house or premises.

16. The Bailiff shall, as soon as may be, file in the Court copies of the said inventory, appraisement and notice.

17. The Bailiffs and officers appointed to execute distress warrants may break open inner doors; and if denied admit- tance to any building as to which they have a warrant to distrain, after declaring their names and business; or if, after waiting a reasonable time, no person answers, or is in the building, they may apply to the Court for authority to break open outer doors and windows so far as may be necessary to enable them to execute the warrant.

18. The Court on being satisfied, on the affidavit of one of the officers having the warrant for execution, that there are no reasonable means of executing the warrant without breaking such outer doors or windows, may grant an order in writing, addressed to a Bailiff of the Court, authorizing him to break open, or have broken open, such doors and windows. Before executing such order, however, the Bailiff shall inform any persons or person in or about the build- ing, that he has such order and that he is about to act on it unless the doors or windows are opened.

19. The Bailiffs may impound or otherwise secure the property seized, in or on the house or premises, chargeable with the rent, or may remove the same.

PART III.

Of Application to discharge Distresses and of Compensation.

20. The debtor, or any other person alleging himself to be the owner of any property seized under this Ordinance, may, at any time within five days from such seizure, on twenty-four hours' notice to the party who obtained the warrant and to the Bailiff, setting out the facts on which the claim is founded, verified on affidavit, apply to the Court, to discharge or suspend the warrant or to release a distrained article; and the Court may discharge or suspend such warrant or release such article accordingly, upon such terms as it thinks just.

21. Upon any such application, the costs attending it and attending the issue and execution of the warrant, shall be in the discretion of the Court, and shall be paid as the Court directs.

22. If any claim be made to, or in respect of, any pro- perty seized under a distress warrant, or in respect of the proceeds or value thereof, by any person not being the debtor, the Registrar, upon the application of the Bailiff who seized the property, may issue a summons calling before the Court the claimant and the person who obtained the warrant, and thereupon any suit which may have been brought in respect of such claim shall be stayed, and the Court, on the proof of the service of such summons, and that the property was so distrained, may order the plaintiff to pay the costs of all proceedings in such suit after the service of such summons.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD FEBRUARY, 1883.

23. Every such claim shall be verified by affidavit or declaration setting out the facts on which it is founded. When so verified the Court shall adjudicate thereupon, and make such order between the parties in respect thereof, and of the costs of the proceedings, as it thinks fit; and such order shall be enforced as if it were an order made in a suit brought in such Court.

24. In any case under section 20 or section 22, the Court may, if a claim shall have been made therefor at the time of application, and if it appears to the Court that the landlord or Bailiff had no reasonable ground for believing that the goods were properly distrainable, award such com- pensation by way of damages to the applicant or claimant (as the case may be) as the Court thinks fit, and may for that purpose make any enquiry it thinks necessary; and the order of the Court, awarding or refusing such compen- sation, shall bar any suit in respect of injury caused by the distress.

25. The Court may in its discretion, at any time upon the application of the debtor and upon reasonable notice being given of the application to the party who obtained the warrant give time to the debtor to pay the rent due from him upon such terms as it may think just and reason- able.

PART IV.

Sale of Distresses.

26. In default of any order to the contrary, the distrained property shall be sold on the day mentioned in the notice of appraisement and sale hereinbefore referred to, and such sale shall be conducted at such a place and time and by such person as the Registrar may direct, whether by an auctioneer or a Bailiff of the Court and such auctioneer or such Bailiff shall on realizing, the proceeds, pay over the amount thereof to the Court, and such amount shall be applied, first in payment of the costs of the said distress, and then in satisfaction of the debt; and the surplus, if any, shall be returned to the debtor.

27. Provided that the debtor'may require that the sale shall take place in any other manner, than that directed by the Registrar, upon giving security for any extra costs or loss thereby, or that in the Registrar's opinion may be thereby, occasioned.

PART V.

Deserted Premises where no Distress left.

28. Where any immoveable property is held at a rack rent, or where the rent reserved shall be full three-fourths of the yearly value of the demised premises, and where neither the value of the premises by the year, nor the rent payable in respect of the tenancy by the year, shall exceed three hundred dollars, if the tenant shall be in arrears for two months, and shall desert the demised premises and leave the same uncultivated or unoccupied so as no suffi- : cient distress can be had to countervail the arrears of rent, it shall be lawful for the Court, at the request of the lessor or landlord or his agent and on information on oath, to issue its warrant authorizing any Bailiff to enter on the premises, breaking any doors, windows, or.gates if neces- sary; and if the premises are found to be deserted with no sufficient distress therein, to place the same in charge of a Bailiff and to affix a notice thereon, in a conspicuous place, that unless cause to the contrary be shown before the Court within ten days, the premises will be given over to the applicant; and if no such cause be shown, it shall be lawful for the Court, on proof of the fact of desertion, of non-payment of at least two months rent last due, of want of sufficient distress, and that the applicant is the lessor or landlord of the premises or entitled under this Ordinance to a distress warrant, to make an order directing a Bailiff to put the applicant in possession of the premises and the demise shall become void.

PART VI.

Rules as to Distresses.

29. Arrears of rent may be distrained for after the end or determination of any term or lease at will, in the same manner as if such term or lease had not been ended or determined; provided that such distress be made during the continuance of the possession of the tenant from whom such arrears became due.

No personal property shall be removed from any premises under any writ from any Court other than Writs in Crown Suits, till the claim for rent due to the landlord or lessor or person entitled to receive the rent, is satisfied; provided that such claim shall not in any case exceed the amount due for six months' rent last due.

31. If personal property, otherwise liable to distress for rent, shall, at the time of the issue of any distress warrant, or thereafter before seizure by the Bailiff under such war- rant be seized under any writ or warrant of the Supreme Court, the said Bailiff shall not seize such personal property, but shall return the warrant into Court and deliver copics thereof to the execution creditor or his agent and to the debtor either personally or by leaving the same at the place where the goods were seized, and such execution creditor or debtor or either of them may apply to the Court to discharge or suspend the warrant within the time and in the manner mentioned in section 20, and should no such application be made within the said time, the Registrar shall, out of the first money to be received by him from the officer executing such writ or warrant, pay over to the person obtaining such distress warrant the amount thereof, provided that if the amount mentioned in the warrant of distress shall exceed the amount due for six months rent, the Registrar shall pay the amount of rent due for six months and the costs and

no more.

32. If any execution shall be paid off after issue of a warrant of distress, the Bailiff shall immediately execute the warrant of distress.

Married women, with or without the concurrence of their husbands, for arrears of rent due on property held by them to their sole and separate use. 34. Where a right to distrain accrues to parties jointly interested, or together interested, in any premises such as Coparceners, Joint Tenants, Tenants in Common, Executors, Administrators, Trustees, Guardians, partners or otherwise, proceedings under this Ordinance may be taken by any one of such parties, in his own name and the name or names of those jointly or together interested with him, and the levy- ing of rent so distrained for shall be a complete discharge to the tenant, for the rent, or for so much thereof as may be so levied; and the parties so levying shall be liable to account to the parties having the interest jointly or together with them for all sums so levied.

35. Provided that if it should, in any particular case, appear to the Court or to the Registrar or Deputy Registrar, to be advisable so to do, the Court or Registrar or Deputy Registrar may require the party so applying to produce a written authority to distrain, signed by one or more of the persons jointly or together interested with him.

36. No property found at the time of distraint in or on any premises, as to which an arrear of rent is due, shall be removed from such premises without the consent of the person issuing the distress warrant, or by direction of the Registrar, till satisfaction is made, for the rent due if the arrear has accrued during the current tenancy, and if at any time such property would have been liable to distraint for rent under this Ordinance; and the landlord or lessor shall be entitled to require the Bailiff upon giving such Bailiff a sufficient indemnity to the satisfaction of the Registrar to follow the property if removed, and seize the same under the distress warrant, whether or not such property was afterwards dis- posed of by the owner by way of sale, exchange, mortgage, pledge or otherwise.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD FEBRUARY, 1883.

37. If the tenant or lessee, or person in possession or occupation, of any premises on which there is an arrear of rent due, recoverable by distress, shall remove, carry away, or cause or permit to be removed or carried away from the premises any moveable property liable to be scized for such rent, so as to prevent or hinder the Bailiff from distraining the same, it shall be lawful for the Court, on application verified by affidavit, to authorize the Bailiff, to whom the warrant of distress to distrain for the rent on such premises is addressed and the officers acting with him, to follow, and to take and seize such goods and chattels, as a distress for the said arrears of rent, wherever the same may be found, at any time within thirty days from the day of their removal, ex- clusive of the day of removal, and to deal with the said moveable property so removed in the same way as if it had been found on the premises, and if advisable so to do, to place the same again in the premises.

40.

STAMP OFFICE,

HONGKONG, 4th January, 1883.

SIR, I have the honour to enclose the usual Annual Returns of Stamp Revenue for 1882.

Although these Returns shew a decrease of nearly $13,000 as compared with those for 1881, they cannot but be regarded as of an encouraging nature. The decrease in question is caused by a falling off of $18,534 on Conveyances, due no doubt to the collapse of the deplorable land mania, and another falling off of $5,276 on Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes. But not only are these two decreases, amounting as they do to nearly $24,000, redeemed to more than half their extent by a general increase spread pretty evenly (except $4,077 on Bank notes) over the entire Schedule, but also the Collection for 1882 exceeds by more than $30,000 that for 1880, and is, except the entirely exceptional Collection of 1881, the largest annual amount ever accounted for by this Office. The totals for the last five years are as follows:--

1878, 1879,.

1880, 1881, 1882.

....

$128.519' .$116.043

.$127.623 average $136.457.

.$173.641 .$160.769

Some deductions should be made from the Total for 1882 on account of Court and Land fees, but I am unable to state their amount.

I have the honour to be,

The Honourable F. STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

MARINE COURT.

The following finding of a Marine Court appointed to enquire into the loss of the British Steamer Carisbrooke, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 17th February, 1883.

FINDING.

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

1. We find that the British Steam-ship Carisbrooke, Official No. 65,463, of which MORRIS GEORGE SCOTT, Number of whose Certificate of Competency is 227, Penang, was Master, caught fire on the morning of the 27th January, 1883, while lying at anchor in the harbour of Victoria, Hongkong, and that the Ship was sunk in four fathoms water by means of opening the several cocks and valves in the bottom of the Ship.

2. We are of opinion that the fire originated in the Store-room, but there is no evidence to shew what caused it.

3. We are of opinion that the Master, MORRIS GEORGE SCOTT, committed a grave error in judg- ment in not making the signal for fire on board ship provided by the Harbour Regulations. Had the proper signal been made, assistance would most likely have been supplied by the several Ships of War in Port, and by the ships of the Mercantile Marine.

4. The Police were in good time at the fire and rendered very valuable assistance in getting the Passengers landed; the Chinese junkmen also rendered great help in lending their boats for that purpose. 5. We are of opinion that, with the exception mentioned in paragraph 3, the Master, Officers and Crew did all that lay in their power, for the preservation of the ship and passengers. Given under our hands at Hongkong, this Seventh day of February, 1883.

5. When a Steamer, or the smoke of a Steamer, is sighted, the Compass Bearing at the Yard Arm, and Distance off at the Mast Head, will be hoisted. If, when the vessel is made out, she is not a Mail Steamer, the Vessel's Distinguishing Flag will be substituted for the Compass Signal, and it will be kept flying until the Ship anchors. The Distance Signal will be kept up fifteen minutes after the Steamer is made out.

6. If the Steamer is a regular Mail Steamer a Gun will be fired, and a Ball over the English, French, or American Ensign, with the Distance off at that time, will be shown at the Mast Head. The Compass Signal and Symbol will be hauled down. The Ball and Ensign will be kept up until the vessel anchors. The Distance Signal will be kept flying for half-an-hour, and changed at each successive half hour to show the Distance off at those times. When the vessel is between Green Island and the North Point of Hongkong the Distance Signal will be hauled down. If the Mail Steamer is not in the Harbour when it is too dark to distinguish flags, a red light will be exhibited at the West Yard Arm, or a green light at the East Yard Arm until she anchors.

7. River Steamers will not be signalled. The approach of other Steamers from Macao or Canton will be made known by showing the National, or House Flag and Symbol at Yard Arm.

8. If a Flag showing that an Officer of high rank is on board an incoming vessel, a similar Flag will be shown above the Ball, or the Flag alone will be hoisted at the Mast Head.

9. The approach of Men-of-War and Sailing Vessels will be notified by their proper Symbols and National Colours, or House Flags, at the Quarter of the Yard, or at the Yard Arm.

Note. The Distances of vessels will be estimated from the Peak, and will be made by means of the Numerals which are attached to the letters in the table of Flags.

REPORTS ON INUNDATIONS IN NORTHERN ITALY.

No. 1.

Consul-General Colnaghi to Earl Granville.—(Received October 23.)

Florence, October 20, 1882.

Ir is impossible, at the present time, to estimate the damage done to the Venetian provinces by the recent inundations, some idea of the extent of which may be derived from the statement that two- thirds of Venetia are, or have been, under water.

During the first ten days of the month of September the weather was fine, with occasional refresh- ing rain. The official reports of the state of the country, including the provinces which were shortly to be so heavily tried, were satisfactory, the vintage promised well, and it was thought that the year 1882, if not among the most fortunate, might fairly be considered as good.

In the second decade of the month, however, a change came; there was a heavy and continuous rainfall, the amount of which, for Venetia and the Lombard Provinces of Brescia and Mantua, is noted below:-

On the 13th and 14th September snow fell on the St. Gothard and on the mountains about Lugano, Castasegna, Santis, Domodossola, &c. The average temperature in North Italy was between 14 and 18 degrees centigrade.

From the data obtained as to the quantity of rain on the North-eastern Alps, where the greatest fall occurred, the height of water may be estimated at 500 millim., equal to 1 cubic metre of water for every 2 square metres of superficial area. If to this be added the snow, which, rapidly melting under the influence of the prevailing southern currents, would have been alone sufficient on some points, especially in the absence of forests on the mountains, to produce floods, it is not astonishing that the inundations were of almost unexampled severity, exceeding those which occurred on previous occasions during the present century, particularly in 1801, 1823, 1868, 1872, and 1879. The present floods are said to bear the greatest resemblance to those of 1801.

The Adige began to rise on the 15th September; by the 17th the city of Verona was, in great part, under water. The Venetian plains are covered with a network of rivers, torrents, and canals, in almost every

instance raised above the level of the plain, which is protected from ordinary floods by embankments ("argini") between which the waters flow. These embankments, for some of the prin- cipal rivers, rise to the average height of 6 metres above the river-bed, though at certain points they are much higher, and are from 15 to 20 metres thick. The sudden rush of water from the hills proved too much for the works of defence; the embankments of the Adige were broken down in four separate places; elsewhere the rivers, torrents, and canals overflowed their banks, while in certain cases the dykes had to be cut, to avoid the more terrible consequences of the sudden inroad of an over- whelming body of water; railway and other communication was interrupted; bridges, houses, crops, and doubtless cattle, with, in happily but few instances, human beings, were swept away in helpless con- fusion; while the unhappy peasantry, in thousands, sought shelter on the embankments, or fled to the neighbouring towns and villages which still held their heads above water. The distress occasioned by

110 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1883.

this disaster is very great, and cannot be considered as temporary only. Public assistance and private charity in Italy have come in aid of the sufferers, but much still remains to be done to heal the wounds that the floods have inflicted, and foreign help would, doubtless, be most gratefully received. The sanitary condition of the inundated provinces may also give cause for anxiety.

In the midst of the sudden confusion caused by the inundations, the authorities of every grade appear to have done their duty, the conduct of the army being especially deserving of praise. Wherever life and property had to be saved, where provisions had to be carried, or where the embank- ments had to be defended, there the troops were to be found working with courage and abnegation under the command of their officers.

My Lord,

Consul-General Colnaghi to Earl Granville.—(Received October 26.)

Florence, October 23, 1882.

In continuation of my despatch of the 20th instant, relating to the recent inundations in North Italy, I have the honour to add some observations taken from an Italian periodical, "The Bulletin of the Triennial Society for the Promotion of Silviculture in Italy,"* on the augmentation of floods since the mountains have been disforested. The Society of which this "Bulletin "is the organ was founded by the Senator Torelli, author of the great map of the malaria in Italy, and it has at its head, as Honorary President, Signor Quintino Sella, the well-known Italian statesman. I have endeavoured to summarize, as briefly as possible, the writer's remarks, which he has to preface with the confession that the Society has failed to interest the Italian public in its object.

"The 'Bulletin' was founded for the purpose of attracting, if possible, public attention to one of the great causes of inundations, the inconsiderate destruction of woods and forests. With this view a few gentlemen formed an experimental Society to last for three years only, hoping to constitute later a permanent association. The experiment has unfortunately failed, and the Society will cease to exist in the month of April next.

"The immediate cause of the recent inundations, the disastrous consequences of which will be felt for many years to come, was the heavy rains that fell on the North-eastern Alps during the second and third decades of September last, but their effect was greatly aggravated by the denuded condition of the mountains. From a well-wooded mountainous area the same mass of water would not have been precipitated to the plain with equal velocity as was the case from an area bare of trees. It is evident that, where woods exist, a certain quantity of water must be absorbed by the vegetation, while the larger portion, though it indeed descends, does so gradually, thus making an important difference in the volume of the floods. Paleocapa, the distinguished Venetian engineer, placed this truth in evidence, as far back as 1845, in a lecture delivered at the Venetian Institute of Sciences, Literature, and Art, on the diminished carrying capacity ('portata ') of rivers. Citing as examples the Venetian rivers Sila and Brenta, he proved that their carrying capacity was diminished, and that the floods were higher and the average flow lower than formerly, which he unhesitatingly attributed to inconsiderate disforesting on the mountains.

"Another Italian celebrity, Lombardini, has furnished almost. mathematical proofs of the same fact, in his studies on the Lake of Como. The Como basin, containing a superficial area of about 70 square kilom.,.receives eight-tenths of its waters from the great valley of the Adda, which extends for more than 100 kilom. from Colico, near which place the river discharges its waters into the lake, to Bormio, where it has its source. The Adda has more than fifty tributary streams, between rivers and torrents, and, through its long course, varies from a minimum, discharging into the lake 14,000 cubic metres in the twenty-four hours, to a maximum, discharging 70,000 cubic metres within the same period. Numerous small torrents, which, in ordinary times, are almost always dry, become rapidly swollen after heavy rains, even of short duration, and the Adda as suddenly rises. Lombardini proved that the floods of the Lake of Como were in strict relation to the cutting down of the woods, which was effected, in the valley of the Adda, between 1825 and 1850. He showed that, in the early part of that period, there was only one flood every three years and a-half; then, every two years; later on, the average period between each flood was only eighteen months; and so, in gradation, with the dis- appearance of the woods, the floods became more frequent. Paleocapa's observations in Venetia pointed to a similar conclusion. The same quantity of water was distributed in a different manner; it accu- mulated with greater rapidity, and, in consequence, the floods recurred oftener and were more dangerous in character than when the woods existed.

((

While, however, Italy is still blind to the danger arising from this denudation, such is not the case with her neighbours. Austria, Switzerland, and France have turned their serious attention to the reforesting of the bare mountain slopes, and, it would appear, not without success.'

* "Bollettino della Società Triennale Promotrice della Silvicoltura in Italia." Anno III, Num. 56-57. Roma, Ottobre 1882.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH FEBRUARY, 1883. 111

In proof that the benefits arising from reforesting are real, the example of the small town of Varazze, on the Riviera di Ponente, an honourable exception to the general indifference in Italy, is cited by the writer in the “Bulletin.” The mountains above Varazze in 1854 were entirely denuded of vegetation, as the neighbouring heights still remain. The territory belonged to the commune, but, although covering a superficial area of some 4,000 hectares, it yielded little or no revenue. Every heavy downpour of rain caused the torrent Toira, which traverses Varazze, to swell; and, on more than one occasion, the very existence of the town was threatened. The communal authorities at length determined to dispose of their property in numerous small lots, in part on perpetual leases, to the no small advantage of their finances. But the principal benefit that has accrued is that the mountain slopes are now covered with woods of stone pines ("pino marittimo"), that the rains no longer cause the Toira to swell, and that the town of Varazze is safe from inundations.

The Italian Alpine Club has made several partial efforts towards reforesting various points of the Alps and the Apennines, the merit of the initiative in the matter being, in great part, due to Mr. R. H. Budden, an English gentleman, President of the Florentine section of the Club. But, however deserving of praise private efforts in this direction may be, they cannot cure an evil which has grown to such dimensions as to demand a remedy of a national character.

Referring to Government Notification No. 475 of 1882, it is hereby further notified that, under the provisions of sec. 3 of Ordinance 2 of 1858, the Governor in Council will grant licences to proper persons authorising them to boil and prepare Opium, and to sell and retail Opium so boiled and pre- pared, from the 1st March, 1883, at a licence fee of $25 per month, with an additional fee of $2.25 for each ball boiled or prepared; the said licences shall be granted subject to the conditions made by the Governor in Council as published below.

Applications for licences will be received from this date by the Colonial Secretary.

Special arrangements will be made for persons wishing to boil large quantities, so as to enable them to boil in their own premises under Government supervision; but in the absence of such arrange- ments, all Opium must be boiled and prepared at the Public Factory at Sai On Lane, Saiyingp'un.

Sealed tenders will be received up to the 27th instant, at noon, for the farming of Opium Dross within the Colony.

Conditions made by the Governor in Council, under the provisions of the

2. Each licence shall state the name of the Licensee and the shop or house where the business is to be carried on, and specify the name of the street, and the street number of the house.

3. The consideration money shall be paid monthly in advance; and there shall be paid in addition to the first monthly payment by every Licensee upon his licence being granted, a further sum equal to one monthly payment as a deposit on account of the consideration money, and the deposit shall

go in payment of the last monthly payment of the said term.

4. Every monthly payment must be paid on the first lawful day of each month, and in default of any such payment the Governor in Council shall be entitled to withdraw the licence, and to retain all moneys paid thereunder, and the Licensee shall make good all losses and expenses incurred by reason of such default.

5. No licence shall be transferable without the permission of the Governor in Council.

6. All Opium sold by the Licensee shall be prepared at the Factory at Sai On Lane, or at other places specially licensed by the Governor in Council. Every ball, or any quantity less than one ball, so to be prepared, shall be calculated at the rate of 48 taels per ball, and every such Licensee shall pay to the Government in addition to the monthly payments of $25 for his licence, a fee of $2.25 for every ball so prepared, besides all expenses of preparation. Each ball shall produce between 20 and 30 taels' weight of prepared Opium.

7. The Licensee shall report daily to an Officer appointed by the Governor for the purpose, the quantity of opium sold per day. If the Licensee should make default in sending in such report, or should send in an incorrect report, all the opium found in the shop of the Licensee shall be liable to be seized by a Police or Excise Officer, and to be forfeited, and shall be by a Magistrate directed to be sold, and the proceeds paid into the Treasury for the public use.

8. Opium intended for export shall be packed in boxes, and each box shall be submitted for examination to the Officer appointed for that purpose by the Governor and if such examination be satisfactory, a certificate shall be attached to or a mark placed on the outside of each box. Should any box be discovered without having such certificate or mark, the same shall be forfeited to the Govern- ment, and the Governor in Council shall be at liberty to withdraw the licence held by the Licensee, to retain all moneys paid thereunder, and to claim the monthly fees due for the remainder of the term.

9. No Licensee shall construct furnaces, nor prepare Opium in his own shop, nor in any other place, unless by permission of the Governor in Council, neither shall he buy prepared Opium unless from other licensed persons or shops; and in the event of any Licensee making default in observance of this condition, the Opium so prepared and purchased shall be forfeited to the Government.

THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, 21sT FEB., 1883. 123

10. Every Licensee must sell Opium of good and pure quality.

11. No Licensee shall remove his business from the shop or house licensed to another house or shop without the permission of the Governor in Council.

12. The Licensee shall in every case find security for the payment of all fees and for the perform- ance of all conditions subject to which the licence is granted.

13. In case any Licensee shall commit a breach of any of the conditions subject to which the licence is granted, or commit any offence against the Provisions of the Excise Ordinances (Opium) 1858-1879,the Governor in Council may withdraw the licence, and retain all moneys paid there- under, and claim the monthly fees due for the remainder of the term.

14. Every Licensee must paint, or cause to be painted, in characters of at least 6 inches, on some conspicuous part of his house or shop, and keep there exhibited, his name with the words "Licensed to sell prepared Opium.”

8th December, 1882.

No. 118, 1st October, 1881. With reference to my Despatches noted in the margin, I have now the honour to transmit to you copies of Mr. OSBERT CHADWICK's Reports upon the Sanitary Condition of Hongkong which have been printed for the use of this Office, and also copies of a Blue Book, which has been presented to Parliament, containing those Reports, together with the recent correspondence connected with the subject to which they relate.

2. You will observe that, besides furnishing Reports upon the Sanitary Condition of Hongkong and upon the Sanitary surroundings of the Hongkong Barracks, Mr. CHADWICK has added much useful information on Sanitation in an Appendix to his first Report which it was not thought necessary to include in the correspondence presented to Parliament, but which will be found given in the Departmental Print.

SIR,

DOWNING STREET,

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD MARCH, 1883.

3. In transmitting to you these papers, I have to request that you will, with the assistance of Mr. PRICE, and with the advice of the Legislative Council, before whom you will cause these papers to be laid, consider in what manner and to what extent it will be possible to carry out Mr. CHADWICK'S recommendations.

4. I defer giving any detailed or precise instructions on Mr. CHADWICK's scheme for introducing a complete system of house and street drainage into the Town, until I hear what course of action you would recommend in order that this great work may be so regulated as not to press unduly on the strength of the Surveyor General's Staff or on the Colonial Revenue of any one year; but there is no reason why I should not at once advert to some of the less expensive operations suggested in the Principal Report to which in my opinion your attention should be turned without delay. The minor improvements to the existing Sewers, the establishment of free public Latrines and Urinals, Baths and Laundries, and the proper regulation, &c., of the public Markets should be taken in hand at once; but what appears to me to be most urgent is that immediate steps should be taken to organise and enforce a thorough house to house and street to street service for the removal of night soil, garbage, ashes, house sweepings, and rubbish of every sort.

5. The proposals in the 6th Section, part 2, of the Report seem to be well adapted for this purpose, and Mr. CHADWICK makes it clear, I think, that the removal of excreta under the house bucket system and the scavenging and cleansing of the Streets should be provided for by separate Contracts; on the basis of separate tenders for the work to be done. I see no reason why it should not be easy to make arrangements in accordance with the recommendation of the Report for effectually carrying out both these operations, and as regards the night soil, as its sale should under proper management yield a profit both to the Contractors and the Government, the strict enforcement of its removal ought to present no difficulty, but as regards the sweeping and scavenging work it will be necessary, as pointed out by Mr. CHADWICK, that the Government should carefully watch the proceedings of the Contractor and his servants, and by constant supervision and control see that the conditions of the Contract are punctually and scrupulously fulfilled.

6. This control can of course only be exercised by an Officer of the Government supported by an adequate staff, and I request you to consider Mr. CHADWICK'S recommendations on this head and report to me the name of an Officer fitted to undertake the duties which will have to be performed in connection with the two Contracts above mentioned. The Officer selected for this appointment will also be responsible for the inspections you will doubtless establish under Regulations to be framed for the purpose of bringing into effect the various improvements described by Mr. CHADWICK in his observations on the need of an efficient and energetic Sanitary Staff.

I would especially draw your attention to paragraph 282, where it is recommended, with a view to make the Government arrangements for removal of night soil and scavenging popular among the Chinese, that the present Chinese District Watchmen should be employed as Subordinate Sanitary Inspectors; and to paragraphs 276 and 277, where remarks are made which show that their necessary house to house inspection ought, with ordinary care and management, to be made without giving offence to the Inhabitants.

7. The Officer selected, should carry on his duties under the general control of the Colonial Engineer and the Colonial Surgeon, and it would seem convenient that he should form part of the establishment of the Public Works Department.

8. It will be for you to consider what will be the best method of providing funds for carrying into effect such of the larger works as it may be decided to undertake, and the time at which it will be possible to undertake them. At present, and until the completion of the Tytam Water Works, I presume that it will be possible to make but little progress with them, and I may here remark that the Reserve Fund having been already appropriated for that work, it will not be available for the improvement of house construction and house drainage as suggested by Mr. CHADWICK. You should nevertheless introduce a new Building Ordinance at an early date in order that every opportunity which occurs hereafter may be taken of removing the defects in existing streets and houses, and of guarding against the perpetuation of such faulty building and draining in the houses to be erected and streets to be laid out in future. This branch of the subject is fully discussed in the 2nd Section of the 1st Part and the 2nd Section of the 2nd Part of the Report, and also in the Appendix. I commend the views therein set forth to your careful perusal and consideration.

9. As the District Watchmen have Police duties to perform under the direction of the Registrar General, the Sanitary Officer must be in close relations with that Officer. The Sanitary duties of the District Watchman will be principally to see that the inhabitants of his District remove nuisances and to report any negligence on the part of the Contractors. The discharge of these duties would not interfere with the due performance of their ordinary Police duties. Any reports respecting Sanitation would be referred by the Registrar General to the Sanitary Officer who would deal with them accord- ing to his Instructions from the Colonial Surgeon and the Surveyor General.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 3RD MARCH, 1883.

153

10. As the new Tytam Water Works will not be completed for some time, and even when finished the supply of water will not be unlimited, waste prevention should be attended to and the present system of distribution should be improved, water waste checked, and the unjust incidence of the present water tax remedied.

11. To this end a new Water-works Act should be introduced at once, giving powers to punish waste of Water, and regulating the rate of taxation in a more equitable manner. I propose to request Mr CHADWICK to furnish me with a memorandum which will be of use to you in considering this subject.

12. The minor improvements to the distributing mains should also be taken in hand at once, as proposed in Part 2 of Mr. CHADWICK's Report, Section 5. To make the new supply suffice for the wants of the city, all this will in any case require to be done. By doing it at once the present supply may be rendered far more efficient at a moderate cost.

13. I cannot conclude this Despatch without expressing my satisfaction, in which I feel sure you will concur, at the care and ability with which Mr. CHADWICK has accomplished the Mission entrusted to him, and at the clearness and completeness of the reports which he has furnished.

DownING STREET,

30th December, 1882.

SIR, I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 192 of the 12th of September, reporting on the Normal School, and of your Despatch 221 of the 10th of October submit- ting the Report of the Commission appointed in 1880 to consider whether it would be expedient to raise the Central School into a Collegiate Institution.

With regard to the Normal School, I agree in Dr. STEWART'S recommendation that it should be continued provisionally until the New Central School has been built and the Establishment re-organized, when the latter institution should take up the work of training pupil teachers, and the present Normal School be closed. No new pupils should be admitted and those in training should be given a strictly moderate subsistence allowance, and be called upon to sign bonds similar to the one enclosed in your despatch, if they have not already done so.

I think it also very important to adopt Dr. STEWART's suggestion that if the present pupils live together on the school premises, a proper supervision of them should be exercised after school hours.

With regard to the Central School, I agree in the Report of the Committee that neither a Collegiate Institution nor a Normal School are at present required, and I generally concur in the other recommendations submitted.

A new Central School should be begun without avoidable delay on the site selected by Sir ARTHUR KENNEDY, and I gather from your Despatch that the plans had not been finally approved by you; when you have discussed them with Mr. PRICE you will forward them for my acceptance and I will now only observe that convenience should certainly be considered before architectural effects.

I gather from the evidence that the hours of school, which were apparently eight in summer and seven-and-a-half in winter, have been shortened; this change is clearly beneficial and has my approval. I also approve the recommendation of the Commission in paragraph 5, so far as relates to building five new schools, but I do not clearly understand whether they recommend a more expensive class of school than was approved by Sir M. HICKS-BEACH, and I wish for information on this point.

Until the new Central School is built, it is premature to sanction any definite arrangement, but the 7th paragraph of the Report appears to suggest satisfactory means for insuring a more efficient study of the English language.

Any Medical or Surgical Practitioner who, pursuant to law, is registered as such and entitled accordingly to certain privileges in practising medicine or surgery, accord- ing to his qualifications in any one or more of the provinces of the dominion of Canada, or in any other British Colony other than Hongkong, shall, upon proof thereof, be entitled to be registered accordingly under this Ordinance. Documen- tary evidence of his being thus lawfully registered in such other Colony may be submitted to the Colonial Secretary by any such Practitioner who wishes to be registered in Hong- kong. If the Colonial Secretary is satisfied that such evidence establishes sufficient proof of the registration in such other Colony and of the identity of the applicant, he shall give to the Practitioner a certificate to that effect, according to the form C. in the Schedule to this Ordinance and, upon the applicant returning the same to him duly impressed with a stamp of $5 for duty by way of registration fee, shall register him accordingly under this Ordinance. If the Colonial Secretary is not satisfied, he shall submit the case to the Governor in Council for decision as to whether he shall or shall not give such certificate, and such decision shall be final.

13. Any Medical or Surgical Practitioner holding a di- ploma, a license, or a certificate of any kind concerning his professional qualifications granted to him by any Univer- sity or by any College or Faculty of Physiciaus or Surgeons, after and in consequence of his having passed through a course of study and examination as thorough and sufficient as is the minimum course in any like case approved by Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, under Section 21 of the Act of the United Kingdom, 21 and 22 Victoria, Chapter 90, shall, upon proof that such diploma, license, or certificate was so granted, be entitled to be registered ac- cordingly under this Ordinance. Documentary or other evidence of his identity, and of the fact that such diploma, license, or certificate was so granted may, together with his di- ploma, license, or certificate, be submitted to the Medical Board by any Practitioner who wishes to be so registered and such evidence shall, without delay, be taken fully aud fairly into consideration by the Board. If the Board are satisfied that the evidence establishes sufficient proof that the Practitioner has passed through a course of study and examinations as aforesaid, they shall give to such Practitioner a certificate to that effect, according to the form D. in the Schedule to this Ordinance, and such certificate when impressed with a stamp for duty by way of registration fee of $25-shall be to the Colonial Secretary authority for registering the Practitioner accordingly. If the Board are not satisfied, they shall submit the case, with a full report of their opi- nions about it, and of the grounds on which those opinions are based, to the Governor in Council, for decision as to whether they shall or shall not give the certificate as afore- said; such decision shall be final, and, if in the applicant's favour, shall entitle him to have given to him such a certifi- cate as aforesaid.

14. If any Practitioner registered under this Ordinance is convicted of any felony or misdemeanor, or, after due inquiry, is adjudged by the Medical Board to have been guilty of infamous conduct in any professional respect, the Medical Board may, if they think fit, inform the Colonial Secretary thereof and the Colonial Secretary shall thereupon strike the name of such Practitioner off the Register.

15. All questions respecting the right of any person to be registered, or the mode of registration, or the liability of any person to be struck off the Register, and all questions respecting any alteration of the Register, shall, in case of dispute, be decided, subject to an appeal to the Governor in Council. If there is no such appeal, the order, direction, or decision shall be final. If there is such an appeal, the decision of the Governor in Council shall be final, and he may give all such directions to the Colonial Secretary as may be necessary for enforcing such decision.

16. Any person who wilfully makes before any Justice of the Peace any false declaration, purporting to be a declar- ation under this Ordinance, shall be guilty of perjury.

17. If any person fraudulently procures or attempts to pro- cure himself or any other person to be registered under this Ordinance by making or producing, or causing to be made or produced, any false or fraudulent representation or decla- ration, either orally or in writing, he and every person aiding and assisting him therein shall be guilty of a misde- meanor, and shall, on conviction thereof, be imprisoned, with or without hard labour, for any term not exceeding two years.

18. Any person not registered under this Ordinance who falsely takes or uses in this Colony any name or title or addition, implying a qualification to practice medicine or surgery, shall be liable for each offence, on summary con- viction before a Police Magistrate, to a penalty not exceed- ing one hundred dollars.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward to you the Annual Report and Returns, connected with this School, for 1882.

In reviewing the events of the past year, the following facts deserve to be noted.

(1) With the approval of His Excellency, the Officer Administering the Government, Euclid and Algebra have been restored to the Time Table. As these subjects with Mensuration occupy half of the 6 hours given weekly to Arithmetic, no loss accrues thereby to the Study of English.

(2) Elementary Geography and Grammar are now taught in the lowest classes outside the Preparatory School, by which arrangement increased proficiency in English may reasonably be expected in the upper classes in two or three years' time.

(3) A half-yearly examination was held at the end of July, in the work of the past 5 months, with the satisfactory result in the English School of 80.75 per cent. passing, although no time was given for special preparation.

(4) By the return of Mr. MCKINNEY (4th Master) the School, for the first time, enjoyed for 4 months the benefit of the full complement of 6 European Masters; which rendered the discipline of the School highly efficient, and contributed to the satisfactory result at the Annual Examination.

(5) On the other hand, toward the close of the year, the staff suffered severely by the temporary removal of Mr. ARTHUR (5th Master) to the Magistracy, on the score of ill-health; and by the permanent loss of Messrs. CHAN-KAI-MING, TSANG-KIT-FAN, LAU-HO and A. RAMJAHN. The interests of the School have, however, been secured by suitable appointments.

(6) The statistics call for no remark, as they have for some years attained a somewhat fixed average; no alteration for the better can be made in the Roll Returns in the present building.

(7) It is, however, satisfactory to observe that the Central School continues to meet a demand, having in the past year supplied 30 important vacant situations, in the Colonial Service, in the Chinese Imperial Customs and in leading legal and mercantile firms.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, HONGHONG, 20th February, 1883.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward herewith the Annual Report on Education and the Blue Book returns for 1882.

2. The total number of Schools subject to supervision by the Government amounted in the year 1882 to 80, as compared with 72 in 1881, 63 in 1880, 53 in 1879 and 47 in 1878. The total number of scholars enrolled during the year 1882 in Schools, subject to supervision and annual examination by the Government, amounted to 5182 as compared with 4372 enrolled in 1881, 3886 in 1880, 3460 in 1879, and 3152 in 1878. It is evident, therefore, that the number of Schools and the number of scholars, subject to Government supervision and examination, is steadily increasing from year to year. The annual increase of scholars in such Schools amounted in 1879 to 308 scholars, in 1880 to 426 scholars, in 1881 to 686 scholars and in 1882 to 810 scholars.

3. These Schools, subject to Government supervision and examination, may roughly be divided into two classes, viz. secular (Government) Schools and denominational (Missionary) Schools. The secular schools are under the entire control of the Government and supported, in one way or other, by fixed monthly payments, whilst the denominational (Missionary) Schools are under Government inspection throughout the year and annually subsidized by the Government on the basis of definite results, in fixed subjects, ascertained in each case through the annual examination of each individual scholar by the Inspector of Schools. Referring to the former of these two classes of Schools, I find that we had in 1882 in 39 Government Schools 2114 scholars, as compared with 1986 scholars in 1881, 2078 scholars in 1880, 2043 scholars in 1879 and 2101 scholars in 1878, which figures show a hardly appreciable increase of scholars. The explanation lies in this that in all these Government Schools all available space is crowded, and in the case of the Central School overcrowded, with scholars, the accommodation being entirely inadequate to meet the demand. As regards denominational (Missionary) Schools, we had in 1882 on the rolls of 41 Schools 3068 scholars, as compared with 2237 scholars in 1881, 1801 scholars in 1880, 1417 scholars in 1879, and 1051 scholars in 1878, which figures show, from year to year, a steady increase of scholars attending these denominational (Missionary) Schools.

186

4. The proportion of boys to girls, enrolled in the Schools under Government supervision, deserves attention, the more so as there are but two or three Girls-schools in existence in this Colony apart from those under Government supervision. In the latter Schools we had in 1882 but 1241 girls, as compared with 3941 boys, whilst the Census of 1881 showed but a slight difference in respect of sex, for there were 10,629 Chinese boys and 9,940 Chinese girls returned as under sixteen years of age. Among the non-Chinese population the relative proportion of boys and girls is tolerably equal. It appears, therefore, that we may safely infer from the above given figures, that two thirds of the total number of girls in the Colony, who ought to be sent to school, receive no schooling at all and conse- quently, as a matter of fact, in most instances no education worth having.

5. Of the 80 Schools under Government supervision, there is but a small minority teaching English. The vast majority of the children in the Colony learn Chinese only. In 1882 there were 64 Schools in which a purely Chinese education is given, but in most of these Schools Christian teaching is superadded to the teaching of Confucianism under the Grant-in-Aid Scheme. Two (Missionary) Girls-Schools give a European education in the Chinese language, and 2 other (Missionary) Schools, of a mixed nature, give a European education in the Portuguese language. There were further 6 Schools - giving a European education in the English language and 8 Schools which give an English education with Chinese in addition. English teaching is advancing in the Colony in quality rather than in extent, yet there is from year to year a steady, though slow, progress made in promoting a knowledge of the English language among the people residing in Hongkong.

6. As regards the range of subjects comprised by the education given in the various Schools under Government supervision, the Government Central School stands forth, facile princeps, among all the educational establishment of the Colony, owing to the unrivalled range of subjects it comprises. Whereas, for instance, the highest classes in such a well-organised School as St. Joseph's College, consisting of Portuguese and Chinese boys, are taught neither Portuguese nor Chinese, and could be examined merely in the following English subjects, reading, composition, arithmetic, grammar, geo- graphy and history, the corresponding classes in the Government Central School, consisting of boys of almost any nationality, were examined by me both in English and in Chinese, viz. in reading, map drawing, arithmetic, algebra, composition, dictation, Euclid, geography, grammar, history, mensuration, translation from Chinese into English, translation from English into Chinese, Chinese essay-writing, Chinese letter-writting and Chinese prosody. I only fear that multa are being preferred at the Central School to multum and that the load here laid on young shoulders, through the extraordinary difficulty of the written Chinese language, is too heavy to be compatible with the physical and mental health of weakly boys in a tropical climate. It is noticeable, on the other hand, that St. Joseph's College, the princidal school of the Portuguese community and filled with an overwhelming majority of boys who speak but Portuguese, does not teach (nor employ in teaching) the language of Camoes, nor does the Hongkong Public School, specially designed for European Protestant boys, teach anything but English. The Hongkong Public School, however, laudably added in 1882 to its subjects the teaching of Euclid, of physical geography and geology. It is desirable, in my opinion, that Schools like the Central School, St. Joseph's College and the Hongkong Public School, should-where it can be done with safety- superadd to their present scheme of class teaching also special higher classes (requiring boys to remain a year longer in school) for book-keeping, chemistry and physiology, and for Latin. There has been visible for years past a natural tendency to expand in that direction the range of subjects comprised by the teaching of the Schools at present existing in the Colony, but the demand for such teaching is still small and the natural tendency referred to is hampered by the extra-ordinary difficulties of the written Chinese language and by the multiplicity of different languages and dialects spoken in the Colony. The teaching given in the Schools under Government supervision represents at present three separate language viz. English, Portuguese, and Chinese, and Chinese teaching is moreover given in three different dialects, as some schools teach Punti, some Hakka and some Hoklo.

7. As regands the Government Central School, I have but little to add to the Report of the new Head-Master, Mr. WRIGHT, beyond detailing the results of the examination. This examination was this time conducted by me in a far more searching and comprehensive manner than before, as, by an understanding with the Head-Master, the examination was not arranged, as formerly, as a mere pass- examination, confined to the limited range of subjects required by the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, nor merely on the basis of the rule of 200 attendances. Every boy, present in school whilst the examina- tion lasted, was examined in every subject that had been taught in his respective class in the course of the year, whether he had been in school only a few days or throughout the whole year. I drew up the examintion papers and framed the questions in each subject myself independently, on the basis of what had been taught in each class, and none of the Masters saw the papers before they were given out to the boys, except the Head-Master who confined himself to suggesting, in the case of two or three papers, that a few of the papers set by me be made more difficult for prize purposes. For this same reason, of combining with this examination the annual prize-examination, I had set more numerous questions in each subject than is customary at the pass examinations of the Grant-in-Aid Schools. The severity of the test applied lifts, therefore, the results of this examination beyond all comparison with the results of Grant-in-Aid School examinations, even considering that at the latter examinations two-thirds of the marks possible entitle to a pass, whilst at the Central School I passed at this examina- tion all who had made half marks. Under these circumstances it is highly creditable to the new Head-Master of the Central School and to his staff that, as the net result of such a searching

187

examination, out of the 363 boys as many as 331 boys or 91.18 per cent. passed. As regards the Chinese teaching of the Central School, the result was on the whole satisfactory, considering the little time that can be spared for Chinese studies. It seems to me clear, that all the Central School can, without injury to its English teaching, successfully aim at in its Chinese department, is to maintain and revise the respective standard of Chinese knowledge which each individual Chinese boy brings with him to the Central School on beginning his English studies. So far the Chinese teaching of the Central School in 1882 has indeed been satisfactory. But as regards the Chinese teaching given in the Anglo-Chinese Class to boys whose mother tongue is other than Chinese, the result of the examination I held appears to me not only far below what might have been expected, considering the amount of time devoted to Chinese teaching in this Class, but there seems to have been in this branch of the Central School a general lack of energy. This was probably caused by the little amount of interest which non-Chinese boys take in Chinese studies, by the appalling nature of the difficulties of the written language of China, and by the concomitant discouragement felt by the teachers who see no hope of success except in the case of some few boys who happen to take, for a while, an excep- tional interest in Chinese studies. I think it might be well for the Head-Master to consider, whether it would not be better for the School and of more practical use for the boys of the Anglo-Chinese Class, to confine the teaching in this Class to the spoken vernacular, making attendance at such teaching obligatory, and to make the study of the written Chinese language optional to all non-Chinese boys who have obtained a certain proficiency in speaking Chinese.

9. As regards the Government Normal School, I append the Report of the Principal, Mr. MAY. The results of a searching examination of the Students which I conducted, by giving the Students papers to work out, by orally questioning them, and by making them teach classes under my eyes, are satisfactory and highly creditable to Mr. MAY. Considering two thirds of the highest possible number of marks as entitling to a pass certificate, every one of the Students has satisfactorily passed his first year's examination. The students were under the observation of the Chinese Master both in and out of school hours, and their conduct has been exemplary. I also noticed throughout the year the strict discipline kept by the Principal in all branches of the Normal School. I subjoin a Table showing in detail the number of marks obtained by each Student in English examination of the Normal School:

To the Chinese studies of the Normal School Students the same observations apply as those which I made above with reference to the Chinese Classes of the Central School. All that can be expected, in view of the limited time available for Chinese studies, is that the standard of Chinese attainments acquired by the Students before entering the Normal School be maintained and deepened. So far the result of the Chinese teaching of the Normal School has been highly satisfactory. I subjoin the details of the Chinese examination.

Apart from the above mentioned eight Students, secured by Bonds, two Probationers were received a few weeks before the close of the year, subject to three months' trial, but it is doubtful whether they can eventually be enrolled.

10. The smaller Government Schools and the so called Aided Schools (in the villages) have gone their usual course in 1882 and do not call for special remarks. A growing demand for English teach- ing manifests itself now in the outskirts of the town and in the larger villages, and English teaching has shown satisfactory results in Saiyingp'ún, Wántsai, Wongnaich'ung, Stanley and Yaumati. In Stanley especially good progress has been made in 1882 as compared with the state of things there in the previous years.

The Anglo-Chinese teacher at Shaukiwán had to be dismissed and purely Chinese teaching has been temporarily substituted there for Anglo-Chinese teaching, owing to the present impossibility of finding a trained or competent Master for such an out-station. In some few of the Aided Village-Schools, which give a purely Chinese education of a low class-Schools in which occasionally children do not learn writing because the parents are too poor to buy pen and ink-the results of the annual examination came near the average results of the corresponding class of Grant-in- Aid Schools. But in a vast majority of cases these Aided Government Schools in the villages are far below the lowest standard of education given in the Grant-in-Aid Schools. A comparison between those Aided Government Schools and the Denominational Grant-in-Aid Schools tends to impress upon the observer the desirability of encouraging the attempt which, I understand, is about to be made by some Grant-in-aid School Managers, to introduce in the villages also the Grant-in-Aid system which hitherto was confined to the city of Victoria and Yaumati. I can well remember the low stagnant condition in which the Denominational Schools of Hongkong were engulfed before the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, with its system of payment by results, was introduced and raised them gradually to the high educational standard they now occupy. I would fain see the same reforming influences brought to bear on the Government Aided Schools of Hongkong. Although the Grant-in-Aid Scheme affords material aid only to Schools which enjoy a large attendance and is therefore inappropriate to some of the smaller villages of Hongkong, which will ever require a continuation of the present system of Aided Schools with its fixed monthly payments, the Grant-in-Aid system might beneficially and suc- cessfully be introduced in a considerable number of the villages of Hongkong.

11. With reference to the Denominational Grant-in-Aid Schools, all the details, such as I have given above with reference to the Central School and the Normal School, will be found collected in the Tables accompanying this report, viz.: in Table XIII showing the number of scholars who passed and failed in each standard, as well as the amount of grant earned in each case, in Table XIV, which ex- hibits the percentage of scholars who passed in each School, and in Table XV, which shows the per- centage of passes obtained by each of those Schools in English reading, writing (or composition), arithmetic, grammar, geography, history, and in Chinese reading, repetition, writing, explanation, geography and composition. There are only a few of the English teaching Schools, which call for special remarks.

12. St. Joseph's College was moved during the year, first into temporary mat sheds and subse- quently into a splendid new building for which a Building Grant is now applied for. These changes in the locality of the School-rooms might have been expected to impair the efficiency of the teaching of the year, but the result of the examination has been highly creditable to the excellent organization and discipline maintained at this School by the Christian Brothers. The Chinese Division indeed has not been as successful as in former years, owing to the fact that the staff in this Division is inadequate now for the annually increasing number of classes into which the scholars in this Division have to be sub-divided. In former years, when there were only two or three classes in this Division, it was quite possible for the one Master to teach the whole Division single-handed, but to teach effectively 55 boys divided between 5 different standards, as was the case in 1882, was beyond the range of possibility for one Master, even assisted as he was by a Chinese pupil teacher. I mention this, in justice to the Master in question, in view of the fact that in this Division, out of 53 boys examined, 45 only passed, or 84.9 per cent., being a decrease of 13.12 per cent. as compared with the results of the previous year. The Portuguese Division of St. Joseph's College passed very well, as out of 105 boys examined in the various standards of the Code, as many as 100 boys or 95.24 per cent. passed, which is a result reflect- ing the highest credit on the Head-Master and staff of the College. It will also be noticed that the number of days, during which this School was taught in 1882, has been increased to 234 days, whereby a defect has been remedied to which I drew attention in my last Annual Report. Another defect of

this School remains, however, still to be remedied, viz., the irregularity of attendance on the part of the Portuguese scholars. Now, since the number of school days has been brought up to a satisfactory standard, the blame for failures in making up the 200 daily attendances required by the Code rests almost entirely with the parents of the children. The College itself suffers severely under this apathy of the parents, as out of 342 boys on the roll of St. Joseph's College in 1882, only 158 could be allowed to compete at the examination for the annual grant, which is paid by the Government on the basis of a minimum of 200 daily attendances during the year.

13. The Victoria Schools suffered, in the boys' division, a considerable decrease in the number of scholars attending this School, but the Tables appended to this Report will show that the efficiency of the teaching given in both divisions, that for girls and that for boys, has but slightly decreased as compared with the very high standard obtained in former years. As many as 94.74 per cent. of the scholars passed in 1882 in the girls' division and 86.66 per cent. in the boys' division.

14. The Italian Sisters are beginning to come to the front in their efforts for the improvement of the standard of education formerly available by the Portuguese community. In the Bridges Street Poor Schools as many as 91.66 per cent. of the children passed, being an increase of 52.77 per cent. over the result of the first year's examination. In the Italian Convent School, which has been examined for the first time and was accordingly under considerable disadvantages, as many as 86.48 per cent. of the children passed. The Portuguese division in St. Francis' School has also been highly successful, but the English division of the same School is too poorly attended to do credit to the excellency of the teaching of the Italian Sisters.

15. The Hongkong Public School has evidently been much improved by the present Master, as the general range of intelligence displayed by the boys, and the excellent method and discipline of this School amply testified. I have also above referred to the praiseworthy addition of extra subjects included in the programme of this School in 1882. But as the increase in the work of the School was not accompanied by a proportionate increase of time devoted to schooling, the result has been disappointing as far as a mere pass examination is concerned. Although, out of 4 boys, 3 boys passed in Euclid, 2 boys in geology and 2 in physical geography, yet only 2 passes could be counted for a grant in these extra-subjects, as there were failures in the ordinary subjects (arithmetic and geography). These details will explain the decrease of 7.15 per cent. in the passes obtained by the School, but I must further mention that, in my opinion, the boys did not do justice either to them- selves or to their Master because, having been separately examined by the Manager of the School for the

purpose of the annual prize giving but a few days before the Government examination, the boys saw no immediate purpose served by a renewed examination and did not work, therefore with a will when examined once more. It is but due to the Master, of whose efficiency I have the highest opinion, that I should mention these facts.

16. The vernacular Grant-in-Aid Schools in Class I of the Code, which give a Chinese education, combined with Christian teaching, in the Chinese language, call for no individual remarks, as the results of the examinations are sufficiently illustrated by the details which will be found in the Tables appended to this Report. I may allude, however to some points of general interest.

17. When referring, in my last Annual Report, to certain evil tendencies arising from some of the provisions of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme, I ought to have also pointed out, at the same time, that, whatever evil tendencies are called forth, for instance, by the high personal bonus paid to Masters of Schools in Class I, the good effect which these same provisions exercise may be considered as more than counterbalancing the mercenary spirit and the subterfuges arising among Chinese Masters through the system of payment by results which forms the quintessence of the Code. Falsification of the daily attendance roll, which is one of the commonest subterfuges adopted by that mercenary spirit alive among the Chinese Masters, will be effectually checked to a great extent by enforcing the rule which for years past has been enforced in the Government Schools of the Colony, viz. that the daily attendance roll should be filled up punctually at 11 A.M. and that the slightest deviation from this regulation be treated as a serious breach of order and unsparingly visited, with a fine. I found last year that some of the Chinese Masters in Grant-in-Aid Schools persisted in filling up the daily attendance roll during the recess for the noon-day meal, making it thereby impossible for me to detect one special form of falsification of the roll, whether I inspected a school in the forenoon or in the afternoon.

18. From premature applications made, at the close of the year 1882, by some Chinese Masters for new schools to be opened in 1883, I obtained renewed proof of the tendency existing among Chinese Masters to take advantage of the liberality of the Grant-in-Aid Scheme for the furtherance of private purposes. They sought to secure a promise on the part of the Government to receive, under the provisions of the Code, Schools which profess to be bonâ fide public Schools but which are in reality private Schools intended for private emolument.

19. As a curious illustration of the continued prevalence of kidnapping practices in Hongkong, I may mention that I noticed in 1882 several cases in which Chinese girls, living at a great distance from school and having to traverse on their way to and from school the most crowded portion of the town, were dressed like boys and attended, all through the year, Girls-schools in boys' dress.

20. I enclose the usual Tables, I to XVI, containing the Educational Statistics for the year 1882.

APPENDIX.

GOVERNMENT NORMAL SCHOOL,

February, 17th 1883.

SIR, I have the honour to forward you the Report of the Government Normal School for the year 1882. After the trial examination held by you in December 1881, ten Students (that number being the full complement for the first year) took up their residence on the premises in January following.

In March, one of the Students obtained permission from His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government to withdraw on condition of refunding the sums of money that he had actually received from Government. He is, however, now in Government employ.

In August, one of the Students obtained leave to go to his native Village, where he died, after a lingering illness.

In September, another of the Students asked permission to go to Canton to consult a native doctor, as he was also ill; but before he obtained permission he absented himself, and consequently his name was struck off the Roll. I have heard since, on reliable anthority, that he returned to the Colony, more ill, and died in October.

During October, one of the Students was sent to take temporary charge of the Shaukiwan School, on the dismissal of the master there. He had sole charge of that School for the whole of October, and one week in November, and judging from the results of this year's Examination, I venture to say that the experience did him good, as it imparted to him a spirit of self-confidence before a class, which is highly essential in a Teacher.

The remaining seven Students have already entered into a bond, required by the Government, to the effect that they are to remain in Training for three years and serve the Government as Teachers for five years after their training, if required so to do.

In December last, two more youths entered on three months trial, who, if approved of and accepted by Government, will bring the total number of Students for the coming year, up to nine. There is therefore still one Student more required to bring the number up to the intended complement of ten, and if a notification were inserted in the Gazette, before the end of the New Year's Holidays, inviting applicants, I am of opinion that there would be more applying for the vacancy, than was the case when a notice was inserted towards the end of the year, as Chinese do not care to make any changes at so late a period.

Considering that the object of the School is to train young men to act as Teachers in the Elementary Schools, it has been my chief aim to instruct them more especially in such subjects as are required for a Pass in any of the six Standards laid down in the examination Schedule (for Grant-in-Aid Schools) of June 1880, which in my opinion is the highest Standard that an Elementary school can be brought up to, allowing six years to complete the six Standards in.

In addition to these subjects English speaking and Translation have been specially taught, these being the substantial roots for the growth and expansion of teaching power of other subjects.

Besides the study of the ordinary subjects, each Student has had practical experience in teaching, by taking a class two hours daily in the Government Elementary School which is attached to the Normal School for this purpose;

and once a week, a practical lesson on the art of teaching has been given by myself to the Students before a class of boys, which lesson was supplemented on each occasion by requiring a Student to give lessons to the same class under my personal supervision. The form attached shews the Attendances, &c. for the year. As the Students reside at the School none has been absent at any time except on leave obtained either on account of sickness or special circumstances.

I have the honour to be,

Dr. E. J. EITEL,

Inspector of Sehools.

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

A. J. MAY,

Principal.

The Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and white alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

TSUGURU STRAIT; AND WEST COAST OF YEZO.

The following information relating to the eastern portion of Tsuguru strait; as also to the west coast of Yezo and off- lying islands, has been received from Lieutenant R. F. Hoskyn, commanding H.M. surveying vessel Flying Fish 1881–2.

[All Bearings are Magnetie. Variation in 1882: Tsuguru strait, east, 5° 30′ E.

NIPON ISLAND,-TSUGURU STRAIT EAST.*

Okusiri island 5° 50′ E.]

SIRIYA-SAKI-The north-east extremity of the island of Nipon is a narrow point trending in a N.N.E. direction, and the land for about a mile south of the extreme point is low and flat; it then gradually rises to a prominent hill with a double summit called Siriya-Yama (Whaleback), the highest part 1,321 feet, is about 2 miles S.S.W. of the point.

Rock. Three cables N.N.E. of the point is a conspicuous rock, 60 feet high; there is no passage between it and the point. The coast for about 4 miles south of the point on the eastern side, is rocky, and in the neighbourhood of Siriya- Yama precipitous, south of which a sandy beach extends for many miles.

Rattler Rock, awash at low water spring tides, lies 8 cables E.N.E. of Siriya-saki lighthouse.f

Ledge A narrow ledge of less than 20 fathoms runs in a N.N.E. direction for about 3 miles from Siriya-saki; the water deepens rapidly on the eastern side, but on the north and west sides the discent is more gradual. This ledge is usually covered with tide rips and overfalls, which at times are heavy.

* See Admiralty charts :-Strait of Tsugar, No. 2441; Yezo island, No. 452; Nipon island, No. 2,347; Kuril islands, No. 2,405; Also, China Sea Directory, Vol. IV., 1873, pp. 199-200, 336-7; and Hydrographic Notice No. 16 of 1878.

† Charybdis rock. A rock was reported by H.M.S. Charibdis in August 1879, as having been seen to break twice, two miles E. by N. of Siriya-saki lighthouse. In this neighbourhood, depths of 31 to 32 fathoms were found by H.M.S. Flying Fish; the position was examined many times and has also been watched from the top of the lighthouse on a calm day, while a swell was running from the E.S.E. that broke in five fathoms. No danger outside the Rattler rock was known to the light-keeper at Siriya-saki, or to the fishermen who frequent this part of the coast.

THE HONGKONG. GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH MARCH, 1883.

Coast.-From Siriya-saki, the coast trends in a S. W. direction, and for about 3 miles to Uiya Mura, is foul and rocky. At 1 miles from Siriya-saka point is Observatory island, a rocky islet one cable from the shore and 80 feet high.

Anchorage.*-Temporary anchorage may be obtained on either side of Siriya-saki; but under any circumstances it is a most exposed place, and if it is necessary to anchor, great caution should be used. H.M.S. Flying Fish was frequently anchored about half a mile W.S.W. of the lighthouse, in 12 fathoms, but the position cannot be recommended. The bottom is composed of sand, large stones, and rocks.

Probably, if compelled to anchor, it would be more advisable on the eastern side, to anchor off the sandy beach south of Siriya-Yama, (Whaleback,) where the water shoals gradually and no dangers are known to exist, but caution is necessary, as this neighbourhood has not been thoroughly sounded. On the western side, good shelter may be found from all winds except those from West, through North to N.E. off Uiya Mura, in 7 or 8 fathoms, sand.

The Coast from Uiya Mura, to Minando Mura lying about 11 miles to the westward, forms a bay with a sandy beach, backed in places by low, earthy, reddish coloured cliffs; it is free from dangers, the soundings are regular, and anchorage may be obtained anywhere in from 7 to 10 fathoms.

Toriwi-Saki, and is

TORIWI-SAKIt the most northern point of Nipon s low and tapering. North of it at a distance of half a mile, lies a small rocky islet called Omasaki Sima 45 feet high. The ground in the neighbourhood of this cape, and for about two miles along the coast on both sides, is foul and rocky.

Dangers.-Singapore rock.-At 8 cables N.N.E. of the highest part of Omasaki Sima lies Singapore rock. The least water obtained on it at low water springs was 9 feet.

Six cables N.W. by N. of Omasaki Sima is a patch of rock with 2 fathoms.

The passages between these rocks, the island, and the point, should not be attempted in anything larger than a boat. Soundings. Tide Rips.-The soundings off Toriwi-saki are irregular, a ledge of less than 20 fatlong runs about 3 miles to the N.N. W., off which the water rapidly deepens, especially to the northward, and eastward. The East going stream sweeps over this ledge, and through the channels between the rocks and point, with great velocity, causing a great number of swirls, tide rips, and overfalls, which sometimes, especially with easterly winds, are very heavy.

Anchorage may be obtained out of the strength of the tide in 10 to 12 fathoms, one mile East of the point; but as the bottom everywhere in this neighbourhood is composed principally of rock, caution hecary:

The Coast.-At the distance of 93 miles S. W. by S. of Toriwi-saki, and eight cables from the shore, is a rock 40 feet high. The intervening coast, with the exception of that in the neighbourhood of Toriwi-saki, is bold and rooky, backed by high densely-wooded hills. No dangers are known to exist at a greater distance than four cables from the shore.

Tides.-Tidal observations for a period of ten days at Hakodate, gave 3h. 37m., as the time of high water at full and change. Springs rise 3-feet. Neaps about one foot.

During the time H.M.S. Flying Fish was employed in Tsuguru strait (June to September) the stream in mid-channel was never observed to run westward, and there was rarely any slack water. As a general rule, a west going stream was found close to the shore, between Siriya-saki and Toriwi-saki; also in the bay immediately west of Yan, and between Siwokubi and Hakodate head (Yezo island).

Observations. If it is necessary to get astronomical observations in Hakodate, it will generally be found advan- tageous to use the Observation spot in the British consular garden. Kamida creek, from the shoalness of the water there, is a most inconvenient place to land at, except at high-water springs, and as the main road from the town, upon which there is considerable traffic, passes within a few yards of it, it is generally impossible to get satisfactory observations there. The spot in the consular garden is free from both these objections, it is situated 1' 8" South, and 1'7" West of Kamida creek Observation spot.

WEST COAST OF YEZO AND OFF-LYING ISLANDS. ‡

THE COAST.-From Ota-saki (latitude 42° 15' N.) the coast trends nearly north for several miles, is exceedingly bold and precipitous, with deep water close to, and is backed by densely wooded hills from two to three thousand feet high. Kudo bay. South of Ota-saki, the coast trends south-east for about five miles, when it forms a bay, at Kudo, with a white sandy beach. Anchorage may be obtained here in from 8 to 10 fathoms sand.

The coast. From Kudo, the coast runs in a S.S.E. direction for about 6 miles to Seki-nai-no-saki in latitude 42° 8 N. It is almost straight, bold, rising in many places in dark coloured cliffs about 100 feet high, and is free from danger with the exception of a rock awash off Nag-ai-iso, one mile and a quarter north of the point, and half a mile from the shore. From Seki-nai-no-Saki the coast line trends eastward for about four miles, when there is a very remarkable white cliff visible in all directions for a considerable distance from seaward. From the cliff, the coast takes a more southerly direction, and is almost straight, composed principally of shingle beach, to Sibi-no-saki, which is a low prominent point, fronted with smooth, reddish, sloping rock. One mile north of this point and close to the shore, is a conspicuous round rock 35 feet high.

From Sibi-no-saki, to Odobe-no-muru (latitude 41° 58′ N.), the coast line is more broken, there are however no off- lying dangers. Made Iwa, three miles north of Odobe, is a conspicuous dark-coloured pillar of rock 70 feet high. Odobe- no-tate, one mile north of the town of Odobe-no-muru, is a conspicuous white cliff 210 feet high. In the neighbourhood of Odobe, the hills are much lower than those either northward or southward, and are not wooded. The main road to Hako- date strikes inland close to Odobe, a little southward of the town.

YESASSHI, situated in latitude 41° 52′ N., is the principal town on this part of the coast. The population is said to be about 10,000. Off it, lies the small rocky island of Kamone-sima, which is almost connected with the mainland by a sandbank, and forms an excellent shelter for junks, numbers of which are generally, during the summer months, seen moored inside the island. Larger vessels also may obtain anchorage here in 7 or 8 fathoms, with the north part of the island bear- ing about S.W., but should be careful to clear out in good time should the wind shift to any point between North through West to 8.3.W.

The coast E iwa, where t

between Yegasshi and Odobe is nearly straight, and free from danger except at Fusido-tatte- xtend about six cables from the shore.

essetti is a prominent group of hills, partially wooded, nearly 2,000 feet high.

Su-ne-go (cape Rodgers) is a prominent low green point about four miles S.S.W. of Kamone-sima. It forms a bay on its north side where convenient anchorage may be found during N.E. or S.E. gales, in 7 or 8 fathoms.

OKEA. This island, situated off the west coast of Yezo, is for the most part densely wooded and rises gradually to a height 1,955 feet; the summit, which is ill defined, is near its centre, but rather towards the western side. Between the summit and the north point of the island are two moderately sharp peaks, 1,493 feet and 1,363 feet high, which show conspicuously when seen from north-west or south-east. From the northern of these peaks, the land declines gradually to the north point, (Gomiga-saki,) which is low and tapering, but rendered conspicuous by a small round hillock 237 feet high, about half a mile from the extreme point.

Reef. —A reef of recks extend about half a mile north of the point, generally visible, but should be given a wide berth.

sextand about half a East coast, from Gomiga saki to Imako-no-hana, is almost straight, and steep-to, the land falling almost vertically into the water, the depth at one mile from the coast is over 100 fathoms. Junks obtain an anchorage during westerly winds, off Tsurugaki-mura, north of Arch rock.

West coast, from Gomiga-saki to Kuki-ya-no-saki, is rugged and steep-to. Off Isoya-zaki, a chain of rocks extend. nearly half-a-mile in a N.W. direction; the outer rock is two feet above high water.

Conical islet.-Two and a half miles north of Kuki-ya-no-saki and 3 cables from the shore is a conical islet 300 feet high.

Rocks atend

7 cables W. by S. of Kuki-ya-no-saki, the outer one is 26 feet high.

Awanai-no-saki. The south point of the island (Awanai-no-saki), is low and tapering, curving slightly to the

eastward.

The coast line on the eastern side, between Awanai-no-saki and Imako-no-hana, forms a bay, with a sandy beach, fronted with shelving rocks; it is well protected from all winds-between S.W. through West to North. Anchorage may be obtained in from 8 to 10 fathoms, with the small temple on the low shoulder of the hill over the south end of the village, bearing about W.S.W. or West. Although the bottom is sand the holding ground is good. No vessel should risk being caught here in an easterly wind, as a heavy sea then rolls into the bay.

Morotsu-no eima.-Much foul rocky ground exists southward of the south extreme of Okusiri, terminating at three miles from the point in the group of rocks named Morotsn-no-sima, about 25 feet above high water, and composed of large masses of Black lava. Foul ground extends to a distance of 14 miles on the east, 7 cables on the west, and 4 cables on the south side, of the highest Morotsu-no-sima rock. These rocks should invariably be given a berth of at least 2 miles in passing, nor should highest Morotsu-no-sima rock. in passing, nor should a vessel attempt to pass between them and the shore of Okusiri.

Produce.-There is no cultivation on the island of Okusiri, the population in 1881, was about 300 Japanese, and a few Ainos, who earned a precarious livelihood by fishing, collecting seaweed, shell-fish, &c.

The strait between Okusiri and the mainland of Yezo, is nine miles wide at the narrowest part, and is nearly 400 fathoms deep in the middle.

Tides. It is high water full and change at Awanai point, at 3h. 30m., springs rise about 1 foot 6 in., neaps are very irregular. No regular tidal stream was observed, but, as a general rule there is a steady set northward, both in the strait and westward of Okusiri, but this is not to be depended on. In the strait, during a strong S.W. gale in September 1881, H.M.S. Flying Fish experienced a considerable set to the southward.

O-SIMA This island has the appearance of an extinct volcano, it is 24 miles long, east and west, and about 11⁄2 miles in width. It is steep-to all round, and free from off-lying dangers; its northern and western sides are rugged and in places precipitous. The summit, is 2,359 feet high.

KO-SIMA is a small island about three-quarters of a mile in diameter; it rises in three peaks of nearly equal height, between which is an old crater. The western peak which is slightly higher than the other two, is 1,009 feet high. This island is precipitous except on the eastern side, where landing may be effected.

Sugarloaf rock-Four cables west off the island is the Sugarloaf rock 466 feet high; between it and Ko-sima, are two smaller rocks about 35 feet high.

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTICE. [No. 5 of 1883.]

ATLANTIC COAST-DANGEROUS ROCKS IN WESTERN PART OF FISHER'S ISLAND SOUND-APPROACHES TO NEW LONDON AND MYSTIC HARBORS.

Lieutenant Richardson Clover, U. S. N., Assistant Coast and Geodetic Survey, commanding Coast and Geodetic Survey schooner Palinurus, reports the following dangers to navigation in western part of Fisher's Island sound and in Pine Island channel :

PINE ISLAND CHANNEL-ENTRANCE TO NEW LONDON.

11. Vixen ledge. One-half mile SE. of Pine island, small ledge of rocks, 10 feet mean low water, on the following bearings

Black Ledge beacon

North Dumpling light-house

And on the following ranges:

Black rock and Pequot house.

Black ledge beacon and inner (smaller) of three large houses on Goshen point.

W. N. ..SE.

North Dumpling light-house, with Barlow's ice-house, Fisher's island, just open to eastward. (H. N. 5-'83.)

12. Sunken rocks.-A small cluster of rocks, 12 feet of water, lies directly in channel 150 yards SW. by S. from Red buoy, near Pine island, or 350 yards same bearing from SW. end of Pine island. (H.N. 5-'83.)

13.—Sunken rocks.-A similar ledge lies in center of channel, with 12 feet of water,north of Black buoy, and 500 yards E. S. from Frank's ledge. Until these dangers are buoyed it will not be safe for vessels drawing more than 10 feet to use Pine Island channel. (H. N. 5-'83.)

14.-Sunken rock.-There is a small rock, three feet of water, out of the channel, 150 yards NW. by N. from Black rock. (H. N. 5-'83.)

(Bearings magnetic. Variation 9° 40' westerly in 1883.) SOUTHWEST ENTRANCE TO NOANK-MYSTIC HARBOR.

15.-Sunken rock.-A rock, with six feet of water, lies about 300 yards east of Red buoy at outer entrance, and another, locally known as Planet rock, 4 feet of water, lies farther in, on line of the two spindles.

Vessels will avoid these dangers by keeping to westward of channel buoys, and shonld be careful in turning inner spindle, as there is a rock with nine feet of water S. by. W., and another with seven feet NW. by N., from spindle, both distant about 100 feet. (H. N. 5-'83.)

16.-Sunken rocks.-There are two rocks in Mystic river with four feet of water in mid-channel, above Sixpenny island, near stone quarry. (H. N. 5-'83.)

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTICE. [No. 6 of 1883.]

RED SEA.

The following information is extracted from the reports of several French officers :

17.-Winds.-The winds, in the Red sea, are variable, in all seasons of the year, in force as well as in direction, and one cannot count, with certainty, upon the general information, on this subject, contained in the sailing directions. For instance, between Suez and Dædalus shoal, in the month of December, instead of fresh breezes from NW., calms have been encountered; between Dædalus and Jibbel Teer, instead of calms, sometimes calm and sometimes fresh breezes from south to S SE. have been experienced, and finally, between Jibbel Teer and Aden, instead of fresh southerly winds, there have been found, at different times, calms, southerly breezes and winds, varying from north to east.

Currents.-The currents are in a like degree variable, and there is no way of describing them with certainty. In September, with the wind from the north, a westerly current of eight miles was observed, and on the next day, near the Brothers, an easterly current of 10 miles was encountered, while further to the northward was found a westerly current of 24 miles in 24 hours. In December, to the northward of Massowah, with a strong breeze from S SE. a current of 29 miles to the N NW. has been observed. At Zebayer islands, the pilots report a northeasterly current of two miles an hour, as a very frequent occurrence, which constitutes a veritable danger to vessels sighting Jibbel Teer, during the night.

Lights.-In the Red sea, it is impossible to count with certainty upon the indicated range of visibility of any of the lights, as it is often diminished by divers atmospheric conditions, and particularly by the storms, which raise clouds of sand along the coast. In February, 1882, the despatch vessel Forbin, was unable to see Ras Gharib light beyond a distance of 10 miles, (the indicated range of Ras Gharib is 20 miles); at a distance of six miles, the same vessel was unable to see the light at Zafarana, the range of which is 14 miles. While running for Ras Gharib light, the French steamer Bassac, in February, 1882, grounded nine miles from the light, which was not visible at all until the end of a SWly. gale, which raised great clouds of sand along the whole coast.

262

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 24TH MARCH, 1883.

Mersa Thlemel.-Anchorage. The anchorage in the bay of Mersa Thlemel, marked on H. O. chart No. 557, is said to be superior to the one indicated about a mile and three-quarters S SE. from Zafarana light.

Zafarana point, very low, and continued by a reef, which extends to seaward for a mile and a half, is difficult to recognize, and dangerous in thick or foggy weather. At Mersa Thlemel, on the contrary, the high mountains have been seen from a distance of three and a half miles to seaward, while the beach, two miles distant, was atill shrouded in fog.

In 1882, the Garonne anchored at Mersa Thlemel, in 11 fathoms, mud bottom, on the following bearings:

Jebel Thlemel........

The peak of 670 feet. Zafarana light.......

S: 74° 15 W. N. 53°45 W.

N. 23° 15 E.,5 miles.

The change in the color of the water indicates very clearly the edge of the bank of 2 fathoms to the north, of the bank which extends from Point Kadd Howelsheer.

also

The anchorage at Mersa Thlemel presents, also, an advantage over that of Zafarana, in that it is sheltered from the winds from S SE. to N NE., and out of the track of vessels. (H. N. 6-'83.)

BOARD OF TRADE,

Marine Department, December, 1882.

INSTRUCTIONS TO DETAINING OFFICERS.

Carriage of Dangerous Acids, &c., near Explosives on Board Ship.

The attention of the Board of Trade has been called to a practice that exists of carrying dangerous acids or inflammable liquids on the decks of ships which also load gunpowder or other explosives, and cases have been cited in which explosives and acids have been stowed in such close proximity that disastrous results have ensued.

Correspondence* on the subject is appended for the information and guidance of Detaining Officers, and special attention is directed to the letter of the Thames Conservancy, printed at pp. 26 and 27, as embodying generally the principle by which the Board of Trade wish their own staff to be guided in

this matter.

Although the Board of Trade, as at present advised, are not prepared to regard every ship loaded with acids and explosives as unsafe, and therefore liable to provisional detention under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1876, they are distinctly of opinion that such loading is at least hazardous and requires great care, they think that in such cases all dangerous acids, as well as all inflammable fluids, such as naphtha, ether, benzoline, &c., should be carried on deck, and be so placed that they can without difficulty be thrown overboard in case of necessity. Care should also be taken that they are not carried on or in dangerous proximity to the hatches under which, or in places near which explosives are stowed; and, generally, that the dangerous substances and fluids are, as far as possible,

secured and isolated.

In the event of a ship attempting to proceed to sea without such necessary and reasonable precautions being taken, a Detaining Officer should not hesitate to order her provisional detention as unsafe by reason of improper loading. When the Officer is in doubt as to the nature of any particular substance or fluid which it is proposed to carry, he should at once refer the matter, with full particulars, to the Board of Trade for special instructions.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31ST MARCH, 1883.

SHIPPING.

275

2. The year 1882 under review shows a general increase in the trade of the Colony. The total of all arrivals is 28,668 vessels measuring 4,976,233 tons, the increase being 1,115 vessels measuring 442,929 tons.

3. Of the arrivals, 59.16 per cent of the tonnage is in vessels propelled by steam, and 4.56 per cent in European Sailing vessels, the remaining 36.28 per cent being due to Junks.

4. The proportions of the whole tonnage under various Nationalities are as follows:

American, British,

Chinese Steamers,

Junks,

French,

1.80 per cent. ....47.52

2.44

..36.28

5. The trade in 3,054 steam vessels, amounting to 2,943,867 tons, is divided in the following proportion:

American, Austrian,

1.10

1.26

6. The tonnage in steam vessels has increased 13.25 per cent on last year's return, and the ton- nage of European sailing vessels has decreased 10.57 per cent.

7. There is a slight decrease in the trade with the Australian Colonies, and Great Britain, but an increase as regards the Coast of China and Formosa, Cochin China, Continent of Europe, Japan, Java, Philippine Islands, Hainan, Gulf of Tonquin, and the United States of America. British North Borneo is introduced in the columns of these returns for the first time, with an entry and clearance of 3 vessels and 1,065 tons. The Island of Hainan and Ports in the Gulf of Tonquin have not been opened long, but there is a present trade between those Ports and Hongkong of 176 vessels and 73,708 tons.

JUNK TRADE.

8. I have again to report an increase under this heading. 892 vessels measuring 125,365 tons arrived from the Coast of China and Formosa in 1882 in excess of those entered in the previous year.

9. The trade with Macao alone, in Junks, shows an increase of 1,401 tons.

10. 16 fewer Junk licences and 169 fewer Fishing licences were issued during the year, but there was an increase of 985 Anchorage passes.

EMIGRATION.

11. 8,239 more Emigrants left Hongkong in 1882 than in the previous year, an excess of 5,479 going to Portland, Oregon, and of 5,694 proceeding to California. A rush was made for these two places in the first half of the year in consequence of the laws prohibiting the immigration of Chinese labourers into the United States coming into force on the 4th August 1882. The last ship left for San Francisco on the 4th July, carrying 1,182 passengers. There is an increase of 5,956 Chinese to Victoria, Vancouver's Island. 7,467 left for the latter Port for the purpose of constructing the pro- jected Railroad from New Westminster in British Columbia through the Dominion of Canada.

•

་ ་

276

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31ST MARCH, 1883.

12. There is a decrease of 6,301 Emigrants to Bangkok, and of 2,668 to the Australian Colonies. Emigration to the Straits Settlements is nearly the same, 36,490 left in 1882, and 36,545 in 1881.

REGISTRY OF SHIPPING.

13. Seven vessels were newly registered, and fourteen vessels were struck off the Register.

16. The following Courts have been held during the

year:-

1. On the 12th September, 1882,-Inquiry as to the loss of the British Steam-ship Hongkong, Official number 85,077 of London, on a rock lying in the fairway, a little North of a line drawn between Long-yit and Double-yit at the Southern entrance of the Haitan Straits. The Master's (JOHN BIDEN FRYER) Certificate of Competency was returned.

2. On the 14th November, 1882,-Inquiry as to the loss of the British Steam-ship Paladin, Official number 68,001 of Glasgow, on the North Shoal, Paracels Group, China Sea. The Master's (FRANCIS PHILIP AUBIN) Certificate of Competency was suspended for four months.

SEAMEN.

17. 9,794 Seamen of all Nationalities were shipped, and 10,023 were discharged in the year 1882. The excess of men discharged over men shipped is caused by some of the former being sent to England and Australia as distressed seamen, and others leaving the Colony without notifying their departure.

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTICE.

[No. 2 of 1883.]

BORNEO-NORTHEAST COAST.

The following information, relating to the northeast coast of Borneo from Mallawallé island to Sandakan harbor, from a report by Lieutenant R. Hoskyn, commanding H. B. M. surveying vessel Flying Fish, 1881-2, has been received:

3. Coast. The northeast coast of Borneo, between Silk island in Mallawallé channel and Sandakan harbor, is generally low, densely wooded, intersected by numerous rivers and streams, and for a considerable distance from the shore the water is shallow and abounds with coral reefs.

As it would be impracticable from any mere written description to navigate with safety among the numerous dangers which lie eastward of Mallawallé island, it will be sufficient to describe the principal dangers, the appearance of the various islands and objects which present themselves as marks, and the routes usually adopted by mariners acquainted with the coast; for further information the charts must be referred to.

Egeria rock, in the Mallawallé channel, was found to lie 24 miles SW. by W. of the small islet off the west end of the island of Mallawallé, This rock, almost in mid-channel, is composed of two small heads of coral close to each other, and has less than six feet on it at low water, with a depth of eight to nine fathoms close-to all round.

Tide-rips.—A heavy tide-rip was observed about seven miles westward of Egeria rock and 34 miles from the north coast of Borneo. The boats were sent to examine it, but owing to the strength of the wind and current at the time no satisfactory results were obtained.

Lin-gi-san. A chain of remarkable rocks, 25 to 30 feet high, lying about N NE. E., distant 12 miles from the northeast point of Bankoka.

Passage reefAt the distance of 14 miles NE. by N. of Lin-gi-san rocks lies water spring tides, is easily distinguished, and may be passed in safety on either side. on which is a small sand cay, lies three miles E. S. of Passage reef.

Passage reef. It is awash at low- Another reef, awash at low water,

Clearing mark.-Banguey peak in line with west extreme of West island, Mallawallé, leads midway between these reefs,

Mandirälla, an island about half a mile in length east and west, is surrounded by a coral reef which, on the north and east sides, extends to a distance of about three-quarters of a mile.

It is densely wooded, the tops of the trees being 144 feet high. Foul ground extends about 3 miles E SE. of Mandiralla. Bankoka hill is a conspicuous wooded hill, 587 feet high.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH APRIL, 1883..

Kukuban is a sand cay situated on the southwest part of a coral reef, of about half a mile in diameter. It is covered with trees 70 feet high.

Rocks.-Southward of Kukuban are two dangerous rocks. The northern lies SE. by S. 1 miles from Kukuban, with six feet water on it, and can generally be seen from the masthead. The southern rock, lying 8. by EE, distant two miles from Kukuban, has less than six feet water on it and is very difficult to see. Much caution is therefore necessary when navigating in this neighborhood.

Tani-boungaan is a thickly wooded island of considerable extent, about 4 miles southeast of Bankoka hill. Bush island is a sand cay on which are a few bushes, the tops of which are about 10 feet high.

Foul ground.-Much foul ground exists between Mandiralla, the coast of Bankoka, Taniboungaan, and Book Island. Tibakkan.-Situated about 2 miles north of the west point of Tigabu island is a sand cay covered with trees 108 feet high. Dangers extend 14 miles in a north-easterly direction from this island.

NE. and SW. bluffs are two prominent headlands on the west coast of Jam-bangan. The former is Ade feet high and the latter somewhat less.

From the coast of Jam-bangan reefs and dangers extend to a dietange about five miles, ju dreje podlejem many sand cays, two of which, Mabahōk and Kalangaan, covered with dees, are especially compicuous; the former is 84 feet and the latter 80 feet high.

Sipeendung lies about 4 miles E. by S. S. of Tigabu; it is a sandy cay covered with bushes, the tops of which are about 20 feet high. Dangers extend south and southwest of this island nearly three-quarters of a mile, and for about 24 miles in a N NE. direction the soundings are irregular, varying between four and 12 fathoms. On the northwest side dangers extend 14 miles.

Between the Sipeendung danger and the Tigabu reefs there is a clear passage 14 miles One and a half miles southwest of Sipeendung is a small group of reefs,

southwest of Sipeendung is a clear passage three-quarters of a mile wide.

A reef which has not been examined lies 7 miles NE. by N. N. of Sandy island. Leonan is a sand cay five miles S. E. of Sandy island, which also sometimes covers. It is situated on and about one mile from the northeast corner of an extensive chain of reefs which lie in an E NE. and W SW. direction,

Reefs.-North-eastward of Leonan cay lie two reefs, the first distant three miles and the second out four miles. Between the first of these and the reef on which Leonan is situated is a clear channel nearly two miles wide at 2911%.

Two miles NW. of Leonan is a patch of two fathoms.

Billean.-Situated 10 miles north-eastward of Torongohak point is a sand cay on which are a few bushes about 38 feet high. It is surrounded by coral reefs and dangers which extend in a north-easterly direction nearly four miles.

Billean north dangers.-Eight miles north of Billean, and about the same distance east of Leonan cay, is an extensive group of coral reefs. As these dangers have not been completely examined they should be carefully avoided.

Tagypil is a densely wooded and very conspicuous island, situated 4 miles SW. by S. of Billean eay; the tops of the trees are 184 feet high.

Bankuruan cays are two small sand cays covered with bushes. Billean Tagypil, Bankuruan, and the mainland are almost connected by a chain of coral reefs.

Cay.-Five miles SE. by S. S. of Billean is a large and conspicuous sand cay.

Lankayan is a sand cay, covered with trees 100 feet high, and is surrounded by a coral reef. The soundings for about 4 miles north-north-eastward are irregular, varying from four to 15 fathoms, one patch of three fathoms existing three miles N. by E. of the north point of the cay.

Kestrel shoal.-This shoal, situated four miles east of Lankayan, and over which H. B. M, S. Kestrel passed in the year 1879, is found to have two fathoms least water. †

Bo-aan, the northern of a chain of islands which run in a N NE. direction from the mainland, is about one mile in length NE. and SW., 192 feet high, surrounded by a coral reef, and its lower parts are densely wooded.

Si-ba-ung.-A small coral reef, lying W. N., distant 4 miles from the north part of Bo-man island. There are a few bushes 35 feet high on this reef.

Lihiman lies 23 miles south of Bo-aan island, is about three-quarters of a mile in length NE. and SW., densely wooded, and 172 feet high. Both Lihiman and Bo-aan are mud volcanoes, which appear to have been active within the last few years.

Islet.—Half a mile NE. of Lihiman is a small islet, with which it is connected by a coral reef. Langaan is a small wooded island, 120 feet high, situated on the southwest edge of an extensive coral a radius of three miles north and east of Langaan the soundings are irregular, varying between six and 18 fatliems.

Within

Great and Little Bakkungaan are two wooded islands, 190 and 157 feet high; they are surrounded by numerous coral reefs.

Silingaan is a small wooded island, 137 feet high. About one mile east of Silingaan is a reef on which is a sand cay, awash at high water.

Gulisaan lies about 14 miles S. by W. of Silingaan; on it is a clump of conspicuous trees 76 feet high.

Libarran is a low wooded island about 14 miles in length E NE. and W SW.

Low island is merely a clump of mangroves on the reef extending from the mainland.

Pulo Tikus is a wooded pyramidical island, 234 feet high.

Clotilde rock.—A small coral reef, part of which is about two feet above high water; there is about 20 fathoms of water close-to all round it.

Laurel rock, in latitude 6° 9' 30" N., longitude 118° 29′ E., is six feet above high water.

Baguan is a densely wooded island, 228 feet high.

319

Taganac.-This island is about one mile in length N NE. and S SW., and is surrounded by a coral reef; it is densely wooded, the tops of the trees being 554 feet above the water.

Taganac patches.-Irregular soundings, varying from five to 14 fathoms, were found to exist between three and six miles W. by N. of the north point of Taganac; this position is occasionally marked by tide-ripples.

Caution.-Commander C. Johnstone, H. B. M. S. Egeria, reports having obtained a cast of four fathoms, "with Taganac island bearing S. 48° E., Bahála bluff S. 11° W., and Baguán island S. 74° E.; it was apparently of some extent to the westward of this."

This shoal was not found by the Flying Fish, but the neighborhood was but partially examined.

Gubbins reef is a dangerous patch of coral with about six feet water on it, lying seven miles W. S. of the south point of Taganae island and 11 miles N. by E. † E. of Bahala north point.

Bahala,, en island about two miles in length north and south, lying in the entrance to Sandakan harbor. The northern part of it is dow, in southem, rises into conspicuous hills 643 and 544 feet high; these slope gradually to the westward, but their eas

are imposing precipices.

Nunuyon Laut and Nunuyon Derat are two low wooded islands lying about two miles northwest of Bahala ; they are almost connected with the mainland.

Sandakan harbor.-Of this magnificent harbor only the part north of Pulo buy has been examined. This portion of it lies in NE. and SW. direction, and open to the NE. At the entrance, between increases

Bahala (Bahatolis) and Towsan Dooyon, it is 14 miles wide, from which place it gradually

saa barir of rather more than three miles diameter.

Türeh peanential. The northern shore is hilly; two of these hills are very conspicuous from seaward-one, on the point withwest of Babela, being 674 feet high, the other, a three-peaked hill, is 844 feet high; and both, like Bahala, slope gradually on the western side and are somewhat precipitous on the eastern.

Elopura, the principal town, is built on the north shore, three-quarters of a mile from the point. In the early part of 1881 the population was about 800, composed principally of Malays, Chinese, and Sulus.

Dangers. The only danger is the Atjeh rock, lying 600 yards SE. of the end of the wooden pier at Elopura; it has 24 fathoms of water on it at low water springs. There was a small black buoy on it in 1881.

Anaherage.—The most convenient anchorage is from half to three-quarters of a mile to the south of the town, in eight or nine fathoms, mud.

Supplies. No fresh provisions could be procured in Sandakan in 1881. Water is plentiful and good. Excellent fire-wood was obtained at the rate of seven or eight dollars per thousand pieces (one thousand pieces were found to be equal to about 24 cwts. of coal, and occupied a space of 240 cubic feet).

MALLAWALLÉ CHANNEL TO SANDAKAN HARBOR.

Directions.—The route most commonly adopted by vessels trading on this coast is that through the Mallawallé channel, thence south of Kukuban, Tigabu, and Sipeendung, north of Leonan, passing midway between it and the small reefs north-eastward. From this position a course may be shaped to pass about 4 or five miles north of Billean.

This route is probably the shortest; the principal difficulties are the two isolated rocks south of Kukuban and the narrowness of the channel south of Sipeendung. The dangers south of Kukuban may be avoided by adopting the route north of Kukubayad the reef lying E SE. of it, and then either proceed south of Tigabu and Sipeendung, as before, or through the channel between Tigabu and Tibakkan, north of Tigabu reefs; thence north of Sipeendung, east of Sandy island, passing through the channel between Leonan and the reef north-eastward of it; with due care but little difficulty will be found in navigating these channels.

Most of

the dangers are easily seen from the masthead except when the sun is right ahead, and the numerous islands and wooded cays afford excellent marks for bearings. It will generally be found advisable to take the channel next north of Leonan, as from this position Tagypil will be distinctly visible, and shortly afterwards Billean; whereas by taking a more northern route, there is practically nothing to guide the navigator, and he will probably get foul of the north Billean dangers. Pass Billean island at a distance of from 44 or five miles; Lankayan also should be given a wide berth of about five miles. Having passed Lankayan, no difficulty will be experienced in making Sandakan by passing well northward of Bo-aan and Langaan islands, then between Taganac and the Taganac patches, all dangers will be avoided, and a straight course may be shaped for the mouth of the harbor.

Caution. It should be borne in mind that no reliance can be placed on the position of sand cays which have no vegetation on them; the action of the sea frequently causes them to shift considerably and even disappear.

Tides. At Sandakan, it is high water, full and change, at Oh. Om. Springs rise six feet nine inches; neaps vary from one foot to four feet.

At Tigabu it is high water, full and change, at 11h. 38m. Springs rise six feet six inches; neaps vary between 0 feet 10 inches and two feet six inches; at both places the tides during heaps are exceedingly irregular.

In the Mallawallé channel, the flood was observed to run to the eastward and the ebb to the westward, and at springs had a

coast between Mallawallé and Sandakan no regular tidal stream was perceptible, but when the NE. monsoon

SOUTH AMERICA-RIO DE LA PLATA,

The following information is an extract from a report by the Commanding Officer of the French dispatch vessel La Bourdonnais, in 1882:

4.-Port de la Bocca.-La Bourdonnais entered the Port de la Bocca through an artificial channel dredged in the mud. The direction in which the channel runs from the land is N. 64° E. It should be 21 feet deep, which is the average depth of the river between Montevideo and Buenos Ayres. Its width is to be about 100 yards, and its total length about 83 miles from the port to the anchorage for mail steamers. At present the channel is accessible to vessels drawing 13 feet of water. It is marked by buoys and beacons. From the light-vessel in the outer roads steer S. 68° 30′ W. for the outer beacons of the channel.

Martin Garcia pass.-With the wind from W. and NW. there is, so

it is very rare that a vessel drawing 15 feet of water cannot find, during 24 hour stor for a favorable opportunity, profiting by accidental rises produced by SE. winds, or in the season of high water in December, January, February, and March, one can easily cross the bar in a vessel drawing 18 feet of water, The bottom is very soft mud, in which one may navigate very well, for a mile or two, with a foot less than his draught of water.

A maritime company which has established a direct line between Havre and Rosario has adopted 13 feet for the draught of their vessels when crossing the bar, after having discharged a part of their cargo at Montevideo or Buenos Ayres. This

me not a rare draught of water seems to be the one best suited for rapid commercial operations, bas it is

thing to see at Rosario a vessel drawing 16 feet of water.

Rosario, which, owing to its railroad, is the head of a line of eleven provinces of the Argentina Tepublie, is the point through which the whole interior supplies itself with the manufactures of Euro produce to Europe by way of Rosario.

The anchorage before the city is large enough to accommodate a considerable number of vessels. wharves on piles. (H. N. 3-'83.)

18.-Shoal at mouth of Pará river.-With reference to Notice to Mariners, No. 104 (587) of 1882, and Hydrographic Notice, No. 61 of 1882, further information has been received that the light-ship in Braganza channel is not always at her station, but when at anchor, she is practically in the position as given on H. O. chart No. 887, and that the shoal reported by Captain Talcott Jones, of the steam-ship Berkshire, is probably the one marked on this same chart, lying NE. nine miles from the light-ship.

There is a buoy anchored E. northerly, about 3 miles from the light-ship.

It is also reported that between the bearings N. and NE. by E., eight to ten miles from the light-ship, is all foul ground, and navigators should be very cautious in that vicinity.

Directions.-Entering the river by Braganza channel, make Salinas light first and steer for the light-shin, about W NW. on the flood and W. NW. W. on the ebb tide.

Leaving the river, steer from the light-ship E NE., nothing to the northward, for at least 1 miles, (H. N783).

HYDROGRAPHIC NOTICE.

[No. 8 of 1883.]

WEST INDIES.

The following sailing directions for the Lesser Caymans (comprising Little Cayman and Cayman Brac islands) are derived from the survey made by Lieutenant A Carpenter, H. B. M. Š. Sparrowhawk, 1880:

22. Little Cayman.-This island is nine miles long in an E NE. and W SW. direction, and about one mile broad 1; it is covered with bush, and has two small hills on it about 50 feet high.

When seen from eastward, the most conspicuous part of the island is Weary hill, 45 feet high, situated a mile from the

east extreme.

Sparrowhawk hill, 48 feet high, situated near the north shore, about midway between the east and west extremes of the island, appears as a double peak when seen from northward or southwestward; Cleft Tree clump on the south shore is also a conspicuous object. Sand Cliff point, near the east extreme of the island, appears as a white patch when seen from Cayman Brac.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH APRIL, 1883.

South coast.-The south coast of the island is sandy, and for the most part skirted by a reef on which the sea The bank of soundings, to the constantly breaks; it is steeper than the northern side of the island, and the bottom is foul. depth of 100 fathoms, extends generally half a mile off shore on the south side of the island, and there are no off-lying shoals off Sand Cliff point the bottom, within a depth of seven fathoms, is irregular.

Anchorage.-During the winter months, when the prevailing winds are from northward, anchorage may be obtained on the south side of the island in seven fathoms, on a white patch off a rocky ledge, situated one mile eastward of SW. point, and where the coral reef joins the shore line. A vessel should approach this anchorage carefully, and anchor with the south extreme of Southwest point bearing west, and a conspicuous cocoa-nut tree bearing north.

The coast at this part is not fringed with reefs.

Should the wind veer to the eastward it would be prudent to leave this anchorage for that at Anchorage bay, on the northwest side of the island.

North coast.-The north coast of Little Cayman island is partly fringed by a reef, but there åre several fair anchorages.

Anchorage bay, situated about half a mile north of Southwest point, affords good holding ground in from eight to 10 fathoms water, off a rocky coast which is steep-to.

A vessel should anchor where the bottom appears white, with SW. point bearing with the eastern extreme of the bay.

Jack

int in line

Jackson point, situated three miles eastward of SW. point, has on it the only large clump cocoa-nut trees on this side of the island; a vessel may find shelter with Jackson point bearing E NE. in eight fathoms, but within that depth the water shoals rapidly.

Reef harbor.--At the northeast extreme of the island there is a small harbor within the reefs, capable of accommo- dating schooners drawing from eight to nine feet, but it is much encumbered with rocks.

A quiet anchorage, during southerly and easterly breezes, may be found outside North reef, with East point bearing SE. by E.E. (H. N. 8-'83.)

(Bearings magnetic.

Variation 4° easterly in 1883.):

23.-Cayman Brac.-This island, situated four miles eastward of Little Cayman, is 10 miles long, in an E NE. and W SW. direction, about 13 miles in breadth, and covered with thick bush.

It rises abruptly from the sea at NE. point to a height of 130 feet, decreasing gradually towards the western end, the cliff terminating one mile from SW. point. The top of the island is flat and intersected by a few rugged paths.

Northeast point is steep-to, having seven fathoms close to the shore. The sea breaks on the point, giving it the appearance of shoal water.

The south coast of the island is skirted by a broken reef.

mints, where

Be fathoms there are

The bank of soundings, within 100 fathoms, extends off shore about half a mile, except at NE and the distance is increased to nearly one mile. There are no off-lying shoals, but within the depth occasional coral boulders rising about six feet from the bottom. This is especially the case in Stakes bay.

Anchorage.-The best anchorage is in Scott bay, in nine fathoms, about half a mile NE of SW. point, with Scott's settlement bearing S. by E., and the high land at Stakes point nearly shut in with Frenchman point. Stake and Bight bays, also on the north side, are quiet and safe anchorages outside the depth of five fathoms. Should the wind shift to the northward, anchorage may be found on south side near SW. point, care being taken to find a clear spot for the anchor as the bottom is foul.

Caution.-Vessels anchoring on the north side are recommended to ride with a short scope of cable, as the weatherly set of the current is liable (if riding with a long scope) to cause the chain to foul the coral heads, which, in the event of a squall, would bring up the vessel very short.

Care must be taken to avoid the turtle nets when about to anchor.

Population.-The population of the Lesser Caymans is about 300, principally Scotch. The men work in companies, The produce is dried fishing and turning turtle at Little Cayman, but residing at Cayman Brac, where their plantations are. and sent to Jamaica by schooners.

Supplies.-Boats will come off to vessels hove to off the north shores of the islands, and will probably bring off turtle, yams and fruit. Water, which is generally brackish, may with difficulty be obtained from the wells attached to the houses on the islands, by application to the owners.

Winds and weather.-Summer winds range from E NE. to S SE. Rainy weather sets in about the middle of May and continues till August. Heavy squalls are prevalent from east and E NE. in June, coming on suddenly at or before midnight. From November to April the direction of the wind is from NE. to north, seldom varying for more than 48 hours. There is at that time very little smooth water, and landing is difficult. When the land winds are strong on the coast of Cuba, the swell rolls across and breaks heavily on the northern shores of these islands.

↓

Tides.-It is high water, full and change, at Lesser Caymans at 8h. 50m., springs rise 18 inches. (H. N. 8-83.) (Bearings magnetic. Variation 4° easterly in 1883.)

The following Report from the Superintendent of the Botanical and Afforestation Department is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 14th April, 1883.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

BOTANIC GARDEN,

Hoycross. Apga Ath 188

SIR, I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on the work of this department for the year 1882.

2. In connection with the usual routine work I may mention that the Garden Staff has made unusual progress in general efficiency. The general organisation is rapidly improving and the results of the efforts of the staff have been much more satisfactory than those of former years. This result is in a great measure attributable to the more suitable office accommodation, the clerical assistance, and the improved means of interpretation to the native staff, all of which had been so greatly needed, and which have now enabled the working of the whole establishment to be put on a more methodical footing.

3. A portion of the soil in all the flower beds has been removed and replaced with new soil This was done in consequence of the plants showing signs of an exhausted food supply, no change or addition of soil having been made for many years. The flower beds, as usual, have been planted twice, and in some instances three times, during the year. The plants used during the dry season- -October to March, inclusive-are chiefly annuals. There is but little difficulty in obtaining plants in sufficient variety for the purpose; but during the other six months, i. e., the hot and wet season, there is some difficulty in keeping the beds attractive in consequence of the rampant growth of the plants and the small selection of those suitable for the climate. This is a subject of perplexity in other places besides this, where the climate is similar to ours, but there is hope that the realisation of an efficient summer display of flowering and foliage bedding plants is not far distant, as during the last few there

years has been a considerable acceleration of plants adapted to this kind of decorative work.

4. Owing to the exceptionally dry termination of the wet season, and the subsequent dry months, many trees and shrubs ceased flowering much sooner than customary, thus causing a great scarcity of flowers, but we shall probably reap af advantage from this in a greater profusion of blossom by and by in consequence of the better rest which the plants have obtained.

5. In accordance with custom, plants in pots and cut flowers have been lent freely for public decorative purposes, the recipients paying the cost of conveyance of the plants from and their return to the Gardens. The supply of cut flowers for sale by the native market gardeners has greatly increased during the last few years, therefore when there is a sufficiency available from those people it would, I think, be reasonable to expect that we should not be asked to furnish cut flowers for private purposes, as has sometimes been done, but that the flowers should remain on the plants in the Gardens to be there enjoyed by visitors.

6. During the six dry months the chief occupation of, the staff is in watering, work, which, this season, has been more than usually heavy, and which has prevented some improvements being effected in the Gardens. It is to be hoped that when the Tytam Water Works are complete the demands of the Garden for a liberal supply of water will be taken into favourable consideration.

7. A great saving in the time of the workmen has been effected by the introduction of mowing machines, besides the great improvement achieved in the condition of the lawns. Those having tennis and other lawns would find it much more satisfactory to obtain small machines with which their gardeners could keep the grass in order, than to submit to the present method of cutting the grass with scythes, or, in a great many instances, with shears in cases where the gardeners cannot be induced to learn to use a scythe. A little supervision in the management of the machines would keep them in order and they would last many years.

8. Another year has fortunately passed without the visitation of a typhoon, and no other serious misfortune to plant-life, or the order of the Gardens, has occurred to injure them or mar their beauty. There is, however, one serious defect, which I had the honour to allude to in my last Report, that still remains as it was, viz., the Land-slip in the Glenealy Ravine. It is to be hoped that steps may be initiated soon to wipe out this sad disfigurement and to again afford the Public the means of access to the New Garden from Robinson Road.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH APRIL, 1883.

9. It is satisfactory to be able to note that the piece of waste ground alluded to in paragraph 6 of my last Report has finally been set apart for garden purposes, and that a small vote was granted last year to commence the laying of it out. The work was begun last December, and will, I hope, be completed during the next dry season, i.e., after the balance of what is required to finish the work shall have been granted during the current year.

•

10. When we shall have got the New Garden extension grounds sufficiently advanced to remove thither the less interesting portion of nursery stock, I hope that with the present nursery ground we shall be able to make suitable arrangements for the improved cultivation of specimen plants in pots, of decorative, botanical, and economical interest, and that for this end we shall be able to put up the requisite structures, some of a light and inexpensive nature; and, if possible, some of glass to protect tender plants from cold and drying winds. If we could be provided with the means for this, an additional source of utility, pleasure, and interest could be secured.

11. Some special attention has been bestowed on getting together a good collection of the different varieties of Bamboo of China and Japan. I was enabled to add several useful varieties from the West River during my expedition to the Cassia lignea districts. The collection in the Garden now represents twenty-five varieties.

12. The botanical origin of the Star Anise of commerce not having yet been verified beyond the fact that it is a species of Illicium, probably near to the Japanese I. anisatum, a good deal of interest has been excited in the subject, and H. KOPSCH, Esq., Commissioner of Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs at Pakhoi, being situated at the part at which large quantities of Star Anise are received from the interior for export, has taken great interest in the subject, and he has made repeated exertions to procure seeds or plants of the tree. Mr. KOPSCH very kindly sent me seeds on two or three occasions, but they did not germinate. However, Mr. KOPSCH eventually succeeded in obtaining a few very small seedlings which he forwarded to me; they have had the greatest care bestowed on them, and I am glad to say that six are now thriving perfectly, and I hope that ultimately we shall succeed in getting them to flower, and that then the plant can be examined and the species satisfactorily ascertained, if before then we do not succeed in procuring good dried botanical specimens of the plant from the districts where it grows. I hope that I may have the opportunity of visiting the districts to the North-west of Pakhoi, where it grows. The districts could only be reached by a considerable amount of troublesome overland travelling, but I think the journey is practicable. If this journey could sometime be made, the whole question of the botanical origin and cultivation of the Star Anise could probably be settled, as was done with the Cassia lignea by my expedition to the West River last year.

13. The saal Annual Flower Show was held by the Exhibition Society in the Gardens in February. These shows have been held uninterruptedly for ten years, and they have fulfilled the chief purpose for which they were organised, viz., to improve the cultivation and supply for market purposes of the kinds of vegetables usually grown in Europe, as well as Chinese kinds. The cultivation of pot plants in general, except by a few energetic exhibitors, has not made the advance which was anticipated. Several years ago I drew attention to the possibility of much success in fern cultivation which might be achieved by any one desirous of taking it up. The really fine specimens of ferns exhibited at the recent (1883) Show were a fulfillment of what I predicted might be done.

14. I have the great gratification of being able to record a new and important departure in the work of this department, which, now that the Secretary of State has been good enough to sanction the appointment of an Assistant from England, I trust we shall be able to continue with energy. In the month of May last, with the consent of this Government, and with the approval of Lord KIMBERLEY, at the instance of Sir JOSEPH HOOKER, I was permitted to make the first of what is intended to be a series of expeditions in the Chinese Empire, for the purpose of obtaining more knowledge of its little known vegetable productions. I proceeded to the Cassia lignea districts on the West River, for the purpose of clearing up the uncertainty respecting the botanical origin of Cassia Bark, and for the acquirement of information on the collection of the Bark and cultivation of the plant, so that the information which had been so long wanted might be made available for scientific and economic purposes. The full Report on the result of the expedition was published in the Government Gazette on the 26th August, 1882. Dried specimens of the plant were brought back and forwarded to Sir Joseph D. HOOKER, at Kew, where they were identified without doubt as Cinnamomum Cassia, Bl. Subsequently, living plants, which I had also brought back with me, were distributed from this Garden to the Botanic Gardens of Kew, Singapore, Calcutta, Ceylon, Mauritius, and Brisbane, and to the Fiji Government. From the Royal Gardens, Kew, the plants will be forwarded to the West Indian Colonial Gardens ; and from Mauritius a number were to go forward to Zanzibar. Acknowledgements of the receipt of the plants at most of the above named places have been received, and the reports state that they arrived in good condition, in some instances not a plant having died in transit. The total number of plants distributed was 641. Besides the plants sent away a number have been kept to stock a small experi- mental plantation in this Colony.

Mr. W. T. THISELTON DYER, C.M.G., F.R.S., &c., Assistant Director of Kew Gardens, read, in November 18th, 1882, at the Meeting of the Linnean Society of London, a Note on the Origin of Cassia lignea. In the course of the paper Mr. DYER remarked in reference to my Report:-"This

346

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH APRIL, 1883.

Report has been printed as a Government Notification (No. 339); but as in that form its circulation "will necessarily be very limited, I think the facts deserve the wider circulation which will be afforded by the Society's Journal." In addition to abstracts of the more interesting portions of the Report Mr. DYER added some notes of interesting botanical and historical particulars in reference to Cassia lignea. In the discussion which followed the reading of Mr. DYER's paper mention was made of two other kinds of Cassia lignea from China, which have appeared in the London market, and on which information is still required. It will be my endeavour to try to procure the desired information. Inquiries have been made on this subject, but they have, however, not yet elicited any more knowledge on the question.

15. There is still some doubt as to where Cinnamomum Cassia exists in a wild state. It may be of some interest to state that in recently looking over the travels of Marco Polo I noticed that he says in reference to the province of Thibet :-"cinnamon and coral occur" (p. 137); and again :-"It yields ginger, cinnamon, and other spices." Alluding to a river which he calls Brius he says:-"on "its banks is found abundance of cinnamon" (p. 140). It may be that these district the home of the cassia in a wild state.

16. As much time as could possibly be spared has been bestowed on the herbarium. re-arrangement of the plants according to the Genera Plantarum has been begun. The West River Expedition was the means of considerably enriching the collection of dried Chinese plants, as every possible opportunity was made use of to procure specimens of what we did not possess. My best thanks are due to Dr. H. F. HANCE F.L.S., for his kind assistance, and the use which he was good enough to allow me to make of his valuable library and herbarium at Whampoa in determining the plants collected on the West River, and also for valuable help in other ways. We are also much indebted to Kew for help in the identification of dried plants. We have still an immense work to do before we possess in the herbarium even the already known plants of China, but as the opportunities and facilities for travelling in the Empire become greater we shall be able to gradually lessen this work, which it is most important should be thoroughly taken in hand by this establishment, as if we wait for specimens to be sent to us by amateur collectors the time when a tolerably complete herbarium might be expected would be far distant. Except what we have, there is no public herbarium in China; therefore as the work of providing one would seem to belong peculiarly to Hongkong, it is most earnestly to be hoped that the work towards its accomplishment may be pushed on with vigour.

17. The exchanges of plants and seeds &c., has been continued. The receipts were 495 plants, 500 packets and bags of seeds, 23 animals, and 7 Wardian cases, in which some of the plants were contained, from 46 contributors.

18. The plants sent out were 2,617, and of seeds 354 boxes, bags, and packets, and 10 Wardian cases, in 99 consignments to 44 recipients.

AFFORESTATION.

Trees

20. The operations of the year were of much greater extent than those of any previous year. The total number of trees planted,—that is, including the number of patches of seeds sown in situ-was one million, ninety-six thousand two hundred and thirty. Cf this number 266,440 were planted, the remainder-829,790 patches, were of sowings in situ. The total of this year's work is thus 318,316 more than the total of last year's work. On account of the great want of rain in the first four months planting was rendered extremely difficult, as, although artificial watering might be resorted to in dry weather to give the trees a start, water on the hills generally is not obtainable at that season. planted in the first two or three months of the year make much better growth for some years those planted when the season is well advanced, therefore every effort is made to put out as many trees as possible at the e very commencement of the year, advantage being taken of the few scattered localities where a drop of water is obtainable for artificial watering. It is also advisable for the sake of distributing the work so as to relieve a little the great pressure on the staff, which comes with the rains, of planting so very large a number of trees, to commence early, although the necessary watering is an expensive item in the general costs.

21. As I mentioned in the Report for 1880, par. 20, an attempt was then made to form plantations by sowing the seeds in situ, instead of having the trees reared in nurseries and then transplanted to the hills. Most of the ground selected for this method of afforestation was exceptionally favourable in quality' and aspect, and the result generally was very satisfactory. Consequently, the following year I was induced to repeat the experiment on a very much larger scale. By taking in hand so great an area it was impossible, for want of some subordinates on the staff with more education or intelligence than those we now have,

in situ, therefore the Io select and plot out patches of land which were the best adapted to sowings

efore the lands included soils of various qualities, and slopes of many different aspects, although as much care was exercised as possible in general instructions to avoid those places which were plainly unsuited to the work.

22. The extent of in situ sowing last year was a little greater than that of the previous year. The sowing commences about the beginning of February and is finished about the end of March or middle of April. The early months of last year which were so unfavourable for planting were equally so for the seeds which were sown. As showing the difference in this respect between the season of 1881 and that of 1882 I may state that in the three months of February, March and April-which are those during which seeds are 'sown-in 1881 rain fell on 30 days, the total being 16.49 inches, while in the corresponding months in 1882 there were only 24 days on which rain fell, and the amount of rain was only 5.23 inches. In consequence of this extreme drought during three months while the seeds were in the ground the earth became so hot and dry that a very large proportion of the seeds were scorched and dried up; the earliest sown germinated well after a little rain had moistened the soil, but during the subsequent dry weather a large proportion succumbed for lack of moisture before the heavy rains of May began. I have noticed that on aspects sloping to the south seeds in situ generally have but little chance of success, owing to the drying influence of the sun, which has there so much more power than on slopes with other aspects. On all steep places the heavy rush of water from the rains carries away the loose soil and the seeds from many patches which are situated where the water collects in little channels.

23. It will thus, be seen that seeds and tender seedlings have much more to contend with on the hills, where, after once put out, they are to a great extent out of the reach of further protection, than in nurseries, where, for a year, they can have their requirements attended to and receive protection from the various and manifold influences which threaten their existence. The cost of sowing in situ is only about one fifth of that of using nursery trees, and as the losses sustained from the various causes attendant on the system are not more than one third of the whole number, there is reason for pursuing that plan in places which are suitable for its successful accomplishment: But the two million patches which have been devoted to in situ sowings having taken up nearly all the suitable land on the northern side of the Island along the whole range from East to West, and much being left for tree planting proper, we should now again limit the in situ work, and increase the nursery tree growing until the lands within moderately easy access from head-quarters are planted.

24. The increasing demands for intelligent supervision and direction of afforestation works being greater than could be supplied by the staff, as it is at present composed, I was driven to seek some way of relief from the pressure, and accordingly arranged the chief part of the nursery work to be carried out by contract, the contractors taking all responsibility, and agreeing to supply for this year's planting 300,000 trees at a fixed rate per thousand. The experiment was very successful, and it has been repeated this year for next year's supply. As the consent of the Government to resume land held by squatters on yearly licences, but liable to be resumed at a month's notice if the land should be required for public purposes, could not be obtained, the contractors had to make their own private arrangements with the squatters, a business which occupied a great deal of our time, and which gave an immense lot of trouble both to myself and the contractors. I cannot but think that it would be much better for the Government to temporarily resume such lands as may be required each year for nursery purposes as the scenes of operations move on, of course giving due compensation, which would

348

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH APRIL, 1883.

not amount to very much, to the squatters for the use of land which had been brought into an improved condition. There is no ground available for new nurseries but that which is in the possession of squatters.

25. Through the kind assistance of my friends the Rev. B. C. HENRY and Mr. MOH SIH CHUI of Canton, in procuring seeds from localities on the North and West Rivers, I was enabled to introduce the Chinese Varnish-tree-Aleurites vernicia-and we now have three plantations of this, containing 26,000 healthy seedlings about a foot high. Judging of what I saw of this tree, and the situations in which it flourished, when I was up the West River, there seems great promise of its succeeding in Hongkong, and being, when old enough, of considerable economic importance.

26. Of the Mahogany-tree, Swietenia Mahogani, 322 were planted, and they have made very good progress; a well sheltered ravine, with fairly good soil, having been selected for them. From Reports of the Indian Forest Department I notice that the mahogany trees in India are much subject to the attacks of boring insects, which destroy the ends of the young branches. The thao thông has occurred here with our older trees, but those planted last year have not shown any sign of attack. For the seeds from which these trees were obtained we were indebted to Mr. H. PRESTOE, the Super- intendent of the Trinidad Botanic Gardens.

27. Eucalyptus citriodora, the lemon-scented Gum-tree, planted in 1880, is succeeding fairly well where it was planted amongst pine trees which had attained sufficient height to protect the young gum-trees. Of five trees measured the mean height was 18 feet, and the mean circumference at one foot from the ground was 10 inches. Of this and other kinds of gum-trees planted experimentally on hills where there were no other trees to nurse them, the trees have failed. From this we may learn that, with the pine as a nurse trce, other exotic trees of certain kinds can be successfully reare

28. From the one small tree of Persea nanmuh, the celebrated Chinese Coffin-wood-tree, which was introduced from Yun-nan, with the kind assistance of Mr. WATTERS, in 1880, we propagated 64 by layering; eleven of these were planted out in permanent positions.

29. Seeds of the Toon-tree,-Cedrela Toona—were received from the Indian Forest Department, but I regret to say we could not get any of them to germinate. In a Report just to hand from Mr. HORNE, Director of Forests in Mauritius, I see that he likewise could not get any seeds of this tree received from India to grow, and that consequently he has procured seedlings in Ward's cases from India. As this is a valuable and quick growing tree I shall try to get a quantity of seedlings introduced.

30. The first revenue derived from tree planting was obtained from thinnings of one of the plantations made in 1875. The plantations having arrived at that condition, when thinnings are required, there will be a portion coming in with each succeeding year that should be attended to, and as the plantings were gradually increased in area with each year the number of trees to be felled will also be larger each succeeding year. The number of trees felled this year was 1,460, for which we obtained $48, or about 3 cents for each tree. The whole cost of planting the trees was three cents each. Those which we felled being the weakly ones, and those which are left being at least half as big again as those taken out, we may calculate the value of the standing trees at about five cents each, which is an increase in value in eight years of about 66 per cent, which, from a financial point of view might be looked upon as a satisfactory investment of Government money, in addition to the advantages of tree planting, which cannot be represented in figures. The trees here alluded to are growing on one of the most favourable positions, therefore taking an average of the whole results of tree planting on bad soils and otherwise unfavourable places as well as on those situations where trees grow rapidly, the financial result would probably be brought down to par for the first eight years; however, after that the trees which would be left standing would increase more rapidly in value, and if cut down and sold would render a profitable return for the outlay. Although in Hongkong the money value of tree planting is not the object in view, yet if it can be shown that there is a prospect of a return of the sums laid out in addition to the accomplishment of well wooded hills, "the result is all the more satisfactory.

31. The protective work of afforestation has been energetically attended to. The forest guards generally have done what they could to stop tree cutting and grass cutting on prohibited lands. The measures adopted to confine the grazing of goats to certain localities which have been reserved for that purpose have worked very well on the whole, and considering the number of goats in the colony there has been very little trouble with them. The people at Little Hongkong have again been very troublesome in cutting down and damaging trees near the village. These people have always stated that the work was done by boat people arriving in and making raids from Deep Water Bay. Recently I noticed in the woods a quantity of fine trees cut half through, and some cut quite down. The forest guards were set to watch the place constantly, and eventually a party was seen to come to work with saws and axes. When pursued, the people fled to the village, but the guards succeeded in capturing one of the party who was convicted and fined, since then no more tree cutting seems to have been done. Altogether since the appointment of the forest guards tree cutting at Little Hongkong has very greatly decreased. Grass-fires during the dry season were unusually numerous, and in several cases they destroyed a large number of young planted trees. When the trees have reached the age of four or five years they are beyond the power of grass-fires to destroy them. The origin of the fires seems to have

349

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 14TH APRIL, 1883.

been from fire used by worshippers at the cemeteries and at isolated graves, from pedestrians passing along roads and throwing down lighted matches, and from goat-herds. It has been impossible to fix the offence of starting fires on any one. On the approach of the next dry season we should, as a preventitive step, make fire-tracts round the cemeteries and along road sides which are near to plantations, so as to isolate trees from the danger of fires reaching them from the carelessness of passers by &c. These fire-tracts would be made by burning, under careful supervision and control, a track of the dry grass so as to cut off the communication for fire which the grass affords.

32. In 1880 certain lands were prohibited for grass cutting and goat grazing, from which prohibition a great deal of good resulted, but the success has not been perfect, as the grass-cutters, whenever they think they can do it without detection, continue to procure grass from those lands. At the same time these people frequently cut down trees and bushes and leave them to dry, when, if they Without a great can get an opportunity, they carry off the dry branches in their bundles of grass. increase in the staff of forest guards it is impossible to entirely stop these offences. Besides the opportunities which grass-cutters generally have of cutting trees, they deprive the soil of the

grass which should be allowed to decay and accumulate for its enrichment for the nourishment of trees, and also they cut from around the young trees the grass which should be left to give them shelter from winds which are so prevalent and injurious. The conclusion which I have arrived at is that grass cutting should be entirely prohibited on the Island, or that it should be permitted only by licences, to be obtained and periodically renewed on payment of a small fee, from this Department, so that the grass-cutters might be controlled in their work, and be brought in as helps rather than impediments to tree conservancy. As the present Ordinances seem to be inadequate to prevent grass cutting, it might be advisable to frame one which would give the power necessary to bring the people under control

33. Dr. BRANDIS, Inspector General of Forests of India, in response to an application which I made to him, very kindly consented to supply us with copies of the Reports of the Indian Forest Department, and now we regularly receive the various Reports as they are published from time to time. I need hardly say that these Reports are of much interest and use in shewing the various works carried out in forestry in India and British Burma, information which is frequently applicable to our work.

Catherine or Evans reef.-On this reef, which extends about 24 cables in a N.N.W. and S.S.E. direction, with a breadth of 13 cables, a depth of one fathom has been found. This danger is steep-to, with depths of 8 to 15 fathoms around, and is rarely indicated by breakers or discoloured water. 2

W., distant, & miles

West Lenore reef. This reef, 3 cables long north and south, by 24 cables wide, Rea from the south hill of Pulo Nangka; it has 2 fathoms water over it, and from 15 to 21 fathoms close around.

Reported Shoal.-The shoal reported to lie E.N.E. distant 7 miles from Pulo Kanis, (Pigeon island) has been ascertained not to exist; it has therefore been expunged from the charts.3

Corcyra reef, about half a mile in diameter, with less than 6 feet water over it, lies S. 81° W. distant 3 miles from the south peak of Pulo Nangka.

TWILIGHT REEF.-This danger, upon which the American ship Twilight struck, long. 108° 36′ 20′′ E.

situated in lat. 1° 2′ 30′′ S.,

At about 4 miles S.S.W. W. of the above position, a ship probably aground, was seen with only lower masts standing. These reefs lie about 40 miles from the nearest land of Borneo, and with Carimate peak on a S.SEE bearing.. SORUETOU ISLAND.-The western point of this island is in lat. 1° 43′ S., long. 108 41 E There is good anchorage upon the north side during the south-east monsoon. 5

CARIMATA ISLAND.-Anchorage.--During the south-east monsoon, there is good anchorage in 12 to 14 shore fathoms, mud, upon the north side of the island, westward of the north point. Vessels should not stand nearer than to bring the south point of Pyramid or Boean island in line with the north point of Carimata island.

Anchorage may also be found upon the south side, eastward of the spit extending 4 miles from the south point of the island, during the westerly monsoon, not nearer than 2 miles from the shore.

There is a small village, in a creek upon the south shore of the island S.E. by E. from the peak of Carimata, inhabited by about 200 flshermen, and a few Chinese.“

Soerong Gading Island lies W. N. distant 34 miles from the north-west point of Carimata island; it is rocky and 790 feet high. A reef extends to the southward of the island nearly half a mile.

Vessels should not use the channels between any of the islands lying between Soerong Gading and Carimata island; as there are many reefs among them, and the currents are strong."

LEEMA ISLANDS, are a group of rocky islands lying 15 miles north of Carimata island. The easternmost island, Leema Pakoe, is the largest and is 164 feet high; from it a reef extends to the northward about 6 cables. The western island, Leema Boedi, has a rounded appearance, and is covered with verdure.

The channel between Leema Boedi and the eastern islands of the group is one mile wide, with a depth of 14 fathoms; but the channels between the other islands are narrow and obstructed by reefs."

'PYRAMID or BOEAN ISLAND, the remarkable conical peak of which is 1,017 feet high, is in lat. 1° 29′ 8′′ S., long. 109° 3′ 5′′ E. A reef extends eastward from the island 4 cables.

Pulo Oelar and Pulo Nikong lie respectively W.N.W. 13 miles, and E. by S. three quarters of a mile from Pyramid island, with channels between them having depths of 8 to 12 fathoms; both these islands are rocky and have a few trees upon them.

JAMSETJIE or SENO SHOAL, composed of coarse sand and stones, has 19 feet least water, and lies with Pyramid island peak bearing S. 67° E. and Bliang peak S. 25° W.6

ROB ROY ROCK, in lat. 1° 29′ 10′′ S., long. 109° 20′ 55′′ E., of coral formation, is 54 yards in diameter, with 15 feet water over it; on the north and west sides the depths increase suddenly to 10 and 12 fathoms; on the south-east sides, The water on this rock was not dis- at the distances of a quarter, and half a cable, to 6 and 8 fathoms over sand and stone. coloured, nor did it break."

KATE ROCK, about one mile westward of Rob Roy rock, in lat. 1° 29′ 5′′ S., long, 109° 19′ 40′′ E., is composed of stone, about 330 yards long in an E.S.E. and W.N.W. direction, and 160 yards in breadth, with 7 feet water over it, and 12 to 14 fathoms around; bottom sand and mud. The water on this rock was not discoloured, but its position was indicated by a slight ripple and eddies.7

SPIRIT OF THE NORTH SHOAL, about 1 miles north of the Papan group, was unsuccesfully searched for; its position therefore must be considered doubtful.7

GOERONG or PASSAGE ISLANDS.—A sunken rock has been found, lying about 5 cables eastward of the easternmost of the Goerong (Passage) islands, in lat. 1° 27′ 50′′ S., long. 109° 13′ 25′′ E. This rock, of coral, is about 160 yards in extent with 7 feet water over it, and 12 to 14 fathoms around; bottom sand and mud. There was a slight ripple on this rock, but the water was not discoloured.7

Between the bearings S. 549 55′ W. and S. 86° 28' W., the visibility of the, Light, owing to the height of the land to the eastward of the Lighthouse, will depend upon the distance of the observer from it. With the Light bearing S. 54° 55′ W., a vessel will need to be between 15 and 20 miles distant in order to see it; but as

it is brought to bear more to the westward, it illuminates. more of the sea until, on the bearing S. 86° 28' W., it is * visible at all distances between the extreme limit of its range and the shore.

To the westward and north-westward of the south-west point of Formosa, the Light is entirely obscured by the land, between the bearings S. 80°13′ E. and S. 28° E. The bearings are magnetic, and taken from seaward.

The Light is elevated 180 feet above the level of the sea, and in clear weather it should be visible at a distance of 20 nautical miles.

The tower is round, of iron, 50 feet high, with a total height from its base to the lantern vane of 714 feet, and

it is situated about 550 yards due north from high-water mark at the extreme south part of the Cape.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language,

constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial THE CITIES AND TOWNS OF CHINA.

Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 154.

The following Annual Report from the Postmaster General' is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 28th April, 1883.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

No. 40.

1882.

GENERAL POST OFFICE,

HONGKONG, April 18th, 1883.

SIR,-I have the honour to report on the British Postal Service in Hongkong and China during

2. There is not much to record in the way of changes, extensions, or improvements of the larger kind. Costa Rica has entered the Postal Union, and the establishment of a British Colony in North Borneo has added one more to the list of places which more or less depend upon Hongkong for the transmission of their correspondence.

3. It must not be supposed however that the immense impetus given to Postal reform by the institution of the Union is wholly expended. Improvements, not of course on the striking scale of those effected at first, are still being consolidated and developed. A Postal Congress will probably be held at Lisbon this year, to review the experience of the service since 1878, and to recast the regulations by which all Union offices are now bound. That such a Congress will consider current Postal questions in a wide and liberal spirit is certain. It may be hoped however, on behalf of small administrations like that of Hongkong, that the desire for absolute uniformity which is nearly sure to find place in an assembly of specialists, will not be allowed to add to the somewhat formidable list of burdens, financial and other, already laid upon small offices. A multitude of ingenious devices which may be appreciated in Europe, Return Receipts, Post Cards with prepaid reply, &c., &c., fall absolutely dead upon a Colony like this, and their compulsory adoption simply increases working expenses without any commensurate result. The same remarks apply to a few rather microscopic regulations as to the compulsory exchange of collections of stamps, the vexatious minimum charge at present fixed for packets of commercial papers, &c. Now that Postal work is becoming organised on the same lines all over the world, what is most to be avoided, it seems, to the writer, is a spirit of pedantry, the sort of idea apt to get hold of the expert in every profession, that the procedure is everything, the result comparatively nothing.

4. The striking extension of the Money Order relations of Hongkong may be pointed out as one consequence of the fresh departure effected in Postal matters. A few years ago this Colony exchanged Money-Orders with one country only, exchanges are now carried on with eleven. During the year under review Money-Order conventions have been concluded with Victoria and Ceylon, and thus, besides the United Kingdom, remittances of small sums can be exchanged with India, Ceylon, all Australia, Tasmania, the Straits Settlements, China, and Japan.

5. The Indian Money Order system, which had been just commenced when the last Annual Report of this Department was submitted, has been a great success. It is steadily used by Sikh Police, Gun Lascars, Gaol guards, and other Indians for remitting money, sometimes in considerable sums, to their native places. The fact that these men are now constantly at the Post Office, where unfortunately nobody was able to communicate with them in their own language, has led to the employment of an Indian clerk, not only to act as Interpreter, but also to deal with letters which arrive here addressed in Indian characters only.

6. The establishment of a Savings Bank, not only for these frugal and thrifty Indians, but also for any others of the community who might be disposed to avail themselves of it, is a subject which has been again and again considered in this Department. There has always been one obstacle or another in the way. It is believed now, however, that the only insuperable difficulties have been overcome, and there is room for hope that before another Annual Report is presented the Bank may have been established.

7. A distributing Agency of this Office has been established at Tientsin, thus effecting an extension of the service long and much needed. So long as the British Post Office remains the only really organised Postal administration in China, it is certainly not creditable that the Ministers at the capital should have no Postal facilities nearer than 700 miles! An application has been made to the London Office to allow £100 a year for the establishment of a completely equipped Post Office at Tientsin, and £50 a year for an assistant at Amoy, the want of such assistance being at present severely felt. It is hoped also that ere long something may be done to organise regular Postal communication with Bangkok. Siam at present is a break in the chain of Postal establishments which otherwise would extend round Asia from Aden to Japan.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH APRIL, 1883.

379

8. In stating that the British Post Office is the only really organised Postal administration in China, there is no intention to convey any idea that this Office at all claims or even desires a monopoly of Postal work in that country. Few things would be regarded by the Hongkong Post Office with more satisfaction than the establishment of a really efficient Chinese Post Office at every port on the Coast. Such an office could at present be worked only by the foreign Customs, and the pleasure of co-operating with it, instead of directing our own few and under-manned Agencies, is a thing to look forward to (like the entry of Australia and the Cape into the Postal Union) as extremely desirable rather than at all probable. An Official Post Office has been established by the Chinese Government at Canton under the title of Man-pò Kuk. It is intended to facilitate the exchanging of correspondence with Chinese Ambassadors, Ministers, Consuls, and other officials stationed abroad. It is understood that such correspondence will be transmitted through this Office.

9. There is at length every prospect of the appointment of an Assistant to this Office who will be able to give his whole time to it. More than four years have now elapsed since the gentleman whose place he will take was temporarily lent to the Supreme Court, and during the whole of that time this Department has been either partly or more generally wholly without Assistant. An idea no doubt prevails that, however much strength may be abstracted from the working staff of an Office, it will still continue to drift along somehow, and the application of this theory reached its climax when, during the unavoidable absence of the writer, the, then Assistant Postmaster General was expected efficiently to manage the Post Office (in itself too much for any one man) and also to keep the accounts of the Supreme Court. The natural result has of course been a breakdown. It must be recorded with pleasure that the routine of the Office has been kept together, so far as it has been kept together, during the four years alluded to, almost entirely by Mr. J. G. DA ROCHA, Accountant and subsequently Acting Assistant, who has done good service under very unfavourable conditions.

10. Towards the close of the year it became apparent that there was something radically wrong in the Department somewhere. Letters alleged to have contained money were missing, even a Registered Letter had disappeared in a very unaccountable manner. Suspicion at first fell on the Chinese staff, but when more Registered Letters disappeared it was evident that a clerk was the thief, and the measures taken resulted in the arrest and conviction of a lad who had been employed, in very misplaced charity, since March last as junior sorter, and who had plundered the Registered Letter case in a wholesale way which any more intelligent person would have known could not but ensure speedy detection. It is satisfactory to be able to add that, with the exception of money, of which he got a good deal out of unregistered letters, most of the stolen property has been restored to its owners. But even when this offender was disposed of robberies of ordinary letters still went on. The want of sufficient superintendence had, in a few months, leavened the whole Office with dishonesty, Severe measures have been taken, and will continue to be taken should such evils continue. But an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and is also very much easier. Facilis descensus.

11. These painful incidents have revealed the fact that very much larger sums in bank notes are sent through the Post in unregistered. letters than the Department had suspected. It was hoped that reiterated warnings and appeals had induced some measure of consideration and caution as to this matter. It appears not to be so, however, and the facts being as they are, the immunity of this office in past years from serious cases of letter-stealing becomes only the more remarkable. Such offences have hitherto been confined to petty thefts by Chinese for the sake of clean stamps when they could get hold of them, and though perhaps such annoying robberies have always gone on a little, they have seldom led to complaints. It must be said of the clerks of this office that such a thing as dishonesty amongst them has hitherto been unknown, nor could it be believed, till the proof become indisputable, that a clerk was the offender in the late unhappy case.

12. It will be said that the Post Office has been for years past advocating the Registry of letters as rendering them perfectly safe, and here is a case in which more than a few of such letters have been stolen. Is not this a proof that the public is right in its idea that Registration is merely a pedantic crotchet of Postal Officials, and that an ordinary letter has as a good a chance of reaching its destination as a Registered letter, if not a better?

13. To begin with, the late robberies were quickly detected because the letters stolen were Registered, and not only so, but also the Registration system enabled the Department to forward much of the stolen property to its owners. But also there are some evils for which no remedy exists except the selection of proper persons to fill places of trust. The clerk now in prison was one of those whose duty it is to watch over Registered Letters, to apply the various checks necessary to ensure their safe transit, and to prevent their being stolen. When the policeman himself turns thief owners of property are apt to suffer for a while, and there is no remedy but to get a better policeman.

14. With regard to the transmission of Bank Notes, &c., in unregistered letters this Department has adopted a line to which it is intended to adhere, namely, to make no enquiries whatever about the alleged losses of such letters. Such enquiries are, in any case, a farce, the enaction of which simply encourages the sending of this most objectionable kind of correspondence. When once a system of robbery fairly gets established in a Post Office it is almost impossible to stop it, except by checking the transmission of the articles stolen. All other means of inducing the public not to send money in unregistered covers having failed, it may possibly be found that to turn a resolutely deaf ear to complaints of its loss will have the desired effect.

380

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH APRIL, 1883.

15. In order to bring Registration as near as possible to residents at the Coast Ports, where the Postal facilities, though the best this office can give, are not quite all that could be desired, a system has been devised which perhaps this mention may bring into more extended notice. Many firms on the Coast and elsewhere are in the habit of sending parcels of correspondence direct to this Office. Sometimes they enclose letters marked To be Registered, but it is found that this direction generally escapes observation. It has therefore been arranged that such letters may be enclosed in a red cover, directed as follows:--

LETTER FOR REGISTRATION IN HONGKONG.

(Please return the receipt to

As there is no address on the red cover it cannot possibly be sent on beyond Hongkong, and its conspicuous colour calls attention to it the moment it is turned out of the parcel, ensuring its being at once put aside for attention. The contents, however, are not regarded as Registered till a receipt is actually issued.

16. Some letters would be more safely transmitted if the senders could be got to bear in mind that whoever presents a letter for Registration must ask for a receipt. It is of no use to write this or that on the letter itself, on a separate piece of paper, or in a Chit-book, there is no security that the officer who takes in the letter will have time to read anything of the sort. What frequently happens is this. An ignorant coolie is sent with the correspondence, and he gives it up without a remark of any kind. About an hour afterwards he reappears and asks for a receipt. As he has not the slightest idea of the address, and as there probably would not be time to find the letter if he had, the general result is that it does not get registered at all.

17. A great deal of extra and needless trouble would be saved to this Office if non-mercantile residents here would only keep stamps at home as. they would elsewhere. Why it should be the fashion in Hongkong to buy stamps one at a time, and that invariably just when the mail is going, it is difficult to say.

And the persons who do this seem to think that the Post Office is responsible for seeing that their servants put on the correct postage, post the letter, and bring back correct change! This opportunity may be taken of explaining that the Post Office has nothing to do, and will have nothing to do with affixing stamps to letters. That is the sender's duty, and there are boxes into which he can drop the letters when he has stamped them properly. If he chooses to delegate this to an ignorant servant, who perhaps never even saw a postage stamp before, that is his own affair.

18. The length of time required for sorting the inward French Mail still continues to occupy attention. Everything that possibly can be done to shorten the process is done, but in spite of this, the time taken in sorting has again crept up to two hours, if not a little more. The reason is not only that the bulk of the mail has been steadily increasing for some years,* but also, and perhaps more especially, that it becomes more and more difficult to get any time for sorting free from departures of steamers. for other places.

19. When the French Mail arrives on a fairly clear day, and the staff of this office have two hours before them during which no steamer is leaving for any other port, it is possible to confine attention to the Hongkong correspondence only, and then the mail might easily be sorted in an hour and a half. † But if only one steamer is leaving, say for Swatow, the whole correspondence for all China and Japan has to be gone over to pick out the mail for that port, officers have to be detached to make up that mail, and it not unfrequently happens that scarcely anyone is left to push on the Hongkong work. There is now a steamer for Canton every evening, Sundays included, and that alone often necessitates the sorting of the whole mail for China before the correspondence for Hongkong can be delivered. It is unfortunate also that the French Mail generally arrives within twenty-four hours of the departure of the return packet for Europe, so that all the time sorting is going on a constant stream of applicants for Money Orders, Stamps, Registry, information, &c., has to be dealt with. It would be difficult to exaggerate the bewildering pressure under which work is done on such occasions. It would be very desirable if persons who have any little favour to ask of the Post Office, in the way of interception of letters, &c., would bear in mind that they might just as well ask it some days beforehand as leave it to the last moment. Unfortunately that seems seldom to occur to anybody, and the mail gun is the signal for a flood of notes and verbal requests to be let loose on this Office just when there is least time to pay attention to anything.

20. Another impediment is the masses of Prices Current, Trade Circulars, &c., sent out here by firms which advertise largely, such circulars being evidently got up from very old Directories, as most of the persons addressed are either absent or dead. There is very little pleasure in dealing with this class of correspondence, as it may reasonably be doubted whether addressees who do receive the papers in question ever look at them. It is intended in future to let these articles stand over until there is time to distribute them.

21. What has been done during the year to expedite the delivery of the mail is this. Arrangements have been made, thanks to the courtesy of the Messageries Maritimes Company, for the mail to be disembarked off Green Island, instead of at the steamer's buoy, thereby saving nearly an hour. This however is practicable only in fine weather. The improved system of sorting mentioned in the last

*The outward French mail used to consist of 15 or 16 bags, it now consists of 80.

† On Sunday evening April 8th, 1883, the French and Australian Mail and a mail from Manila were sorted in an hour and twenty minutes.

For this improvement the community is indebted to Mr. BARFF, late Assistant Postmaster General.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH APRIL, 1883.

Report has been and is being developed, but it requires, to be fully carried out, a comparatively inexpensive enlargement of the office, for which, as the Public Works Department is somewhat heavily taxed at present, it has not been thought advisable to press. A third measure has been the leaving over of all insufficiently paid correspondence to be dealt with after the general delivery of the mail, instead of preparing it to go out with that delivery. This may sometimes cause an unpaid letter to be forwarded to the Coast by a later steamer than that which carries the paid mail-an extra penalty on non-prepayment. One basketful of unpaid letters takes just as long to deal with as do the eighty odd sacks of which the mail is composed. If persons will not prepay their letters, they are not entitled to any sympathy when delay ensues in consequence.

22. The local delivery of the Hongkong Office is not, and never has been one of its strong points.. Without a largely increased staff it never can be, and for such an augmented staff there is not sufficient local work to pay.

The work of the Office has to be arranged entirely according to the arrivals of steamers, it is therefore impossible to imitate the town deliveries of inland cities, where the postmen proceed to their various districts three, four, or even ten times a day with unbroken regularity. Measures however have been taken to improve our local delivery as much as possible, and it is now more used for the distribution of invitations, notices, and similar documents than it has ever been before.

23. Complaints are not infrequently received that correspondence for private houses is delivered at places of business. This does not arise, as is often assumed, from the idleness of the postmen, but is the invariable rule of the Office, and is also the rule which on the whole is most convenient to all persons concerned. Considering how widely scattered private residences are, some at Kowloon, some at the Peak, &c., it is difficult to see how, with our present staff, business letters would ever get delivered at all were the postmen continually taken off their work to carry single letters these long distances. The rule adopted therefore is delivery at the nearest place of business. The only exception is in the case of large numbers of invitations, &c., when a special request is made for delivery at private houses, and even then such a request can only be carried out in subordination to the mail work which is the essential duty of the Office. Of course all this is written in the Postal Guide, but the difficulty with Postal Guides, or indeed with Postal Notices of any kind, is to get people to read them.

24. After being unsettled for some time, the departures and arrivals of the Contract Mails for and from Europe have been arranged for days and hours which, taking the year all round, are perhaps. as convenient as it is practicable to make them. The mails three times reached London and once reached Hongkong in 32 days, in each instance by French packet. The quickest British packet passage has been 33 days, twice, outward. Taking the whole year, however, and the passages in both directions, the British Packets show an average of 364 days against 364, the average French mail passage. The following are the averages for the year,

British Packets, Outward, French Packets, Homeward, French Packets, Outward, British Packets, Homeward,

Whereas by the Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862, it is enacted that whenever it is made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of merchant ships for the time being in force under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, therein called the Principal Act, have been adopted by the Government of any foreign country, and are in force in that country, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty by Order in Council to direct that the ships of such foreign country shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of registry or other national papers, and thereupon it shall no longer be necessary for such ships to be remeasured in any port or place in Her Majesty's dominions, but such ships shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted on their certificates of registry or other papers in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same pur- poses, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the certificates of registry of British ships is to be deemed the tonnage of such ships:

And whereas Her Majesty, by Order in Council dated the 30th day of September 1873,* was pleased to direct that merchant sailing and steam ships belonging to the Kingdom of Italy the measurement whereof had, after the first day of July one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such ships, testified by the dates thereof, should be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their registers or other national papers, the same manner, and to the same extent and for the same purposes in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the certificates of registry of British ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships; provided nevertheless, that if the owner or master of any Italian steam ship should desire the deduction for engine room in such ship to be estimated under the rules for engine room measurement and deduction applicable to British ships instead of under the Italian rule, the engine room should be measured and the deduction calculated according to the British rules:

And whereas the Government of His Majesty the King of Italy have by Royal Decree dated the 30th day of July 1882, modified the rules for engine room measurement and deduction applicable to Italian steam ships, and the said modified rules are now the same as those in force under the said principal Act, and came into operation in the said kingdom of Italy on the 21st day of September 1882 : HER MAJESTY is hereby pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council to direct that the steam ships of Italy, the certificates of Italian nationality and registry of which are dated on or after the 21st day of September 1882, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in the said certificates of Italian nationality and registry.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No. 174.

The following finding of a Marine Court appointed to enquire into the loss of the British Steamer Minard Castle, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 12th May, 1883.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

FINDING.

1. We find that on the 10th April, 1883, at about 9.15 A.M., the British Steam-ship Minard Castle, Official No. 85,115 of London, 1,596 tons register, Master, RICHARD SKINNER, No. of Certificate of Competency 31,134, struck on a sunken rock 600 yards East of the Island of Cheung Chau in the West Lamma Channel, and that the vessel sank shortly afterwards in 8 fathoms water about 600 yards South of that Rock.

2. From a survey made by Lieutenant BELAM of H.M.S. Magpie, we find the rock marked "Dries at low water" in Admiralty Chart No. 1,466 is placed 115 yards N. 66° 41′ W. of its proper position. That a sunken rock with 6 feet on it at Low water springs has been found bearing S. 38° 35′ E., 75 feet, from the proper position of the rock marked "Dries at low water," on which the Minard Castle struck.

3. We find that while the Ship was in Pilotage waters the Master placed the Third Mate, Mr. MULLEN, No. of whose Certificate of Competency is 98,688 (Master Ordinary), in charge of the Ship at 8.35 A.M. giving a course, but omitting to point out any dangers which the vessel was likely to pass. The Master then went below to his breakfast, and returned to the Bridge at or about 9.10 A.M. few minutes afterwards the Ship struck on the sunken rock referred to.

4. We find that the course ordered to be steered by the Master before he left the Bridge was a prudent one, had there been no set of the tide.

5. We find that the Officer left in charge of the deck shewed great want of attention to his duties in not having it reported to the Master that the ship was being set to the North West, and that he had altered the ship's course.

6. The Court having considered the whole of the circumstances connected with the loss of this ship are of opinion, that the Master, RICHARD SKINNER, was not justified in leaving the deck while the vessel was in Pilotage waters.

7. The Court hereby suspend the Certificate of Competency of RICHARD SKINNER No. 31,134 for a period of nine months; and the Certificate of Competency of JOHN MULLEN No. 98,688 is suspended for a period of three months. We recommend that these Officers be furnished with a First Mate's Certificate.

Given under our hands at Victoria, Hongkong, this Twenty-first day of April, 1883.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted

at the Office Flagstaff. A Similar Signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk.

The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer, with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South- Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities. The signal is intended only as calling the attention of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather which the undersigned is expecting.

The Typhoon season in Hongkong is generally

considered to commence in June and to end in October.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE.

HONGKONG, 21st May, 1883.

It has been brought to the notice of the Governor that the removal of the Chinese Hawkers' Stalls from the leading thoroughfares, and other measures recommended in the interest of the health of the general Public by the Sanitary Commissioner (Mr. CHADWICK) have not been carried out in all cases with the necessary discretion and forbearance.

His Excellency directs that, in the future, no summonses shall be taken out against Chinese accused of infringements of Sanitary or Police Regulations, without previous consultation with the Registrar General.

By tact and management, it will not be difficult, in most instances, to gain the support of the Chinese community in carrying out measures essential for the health and welfare of all races and classes of the population of this Colony.

The Governor further directs that the Sanitary Board shall hold a Meeting on one fixed day in each week; and that its Minutes shall be submitted for His Excellency's inspection at the end of each month.

It will be clearly understood that this Minute does not relieve any Officer of the Government from the responsibility of carrying out steadily his duty according to law; it only prescribes that due caution and forbearance shall be exercised.

The Colonial Secretary will send a copy of this Minute to the Chairman of the Sanitary Board (the Honourable J. M. PRICE), and to the Captain Superintendent of Police.

E it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the

1. Sections 10, 13, 14, and 15 of Ordinance 9 of 1867, are hereby repealed, but such repeal shall not affect the validity or invalidity of anything done or suffered before the passing of this Ordinance.

2. The Governor may constitute a permanent Sanitary Board to exercise supervision and control over all matters connected with Sanitation in the Colony.

The Board shall consist of the Surveyor General, the Registrar General and the Colonial Surgeon for the time being, and of such other members not less than two in number as the Governor may from time to time appoint. The Governor may at his discretion remove any member so appointed.

The Governor may from time to time appoint and at pleasure remove such officers as the Board may require for the purpose of carrying out the duties of the Board and the laws relating to Sanitation.

Subject to the approval of the Governor in Council, the Board may make and when made, revoke, add to, or alter rules for its own procedure and for the guidance and conduct of its officers.

3. If any member of the Sanitary Board, or any two resident medical practitioners shall certify to a Magistrate that any house is so overcrowded or is in such a filthy and unwholesome state as to be dangerous or injurious to the public health, the Magistrate shall issue a summons against the householder or his agent within the meaning of the "Victoria Registration Ordinance, 1866," by notice affixed to the house, to appear before the said Magistrate who shall thereupon make such order as he may think fit; and in case any order so made shall not be complied with by such householder or agent, within seven days from the making thereof, the said Magistrate may thereupon impose on the person so refusing or neglecting to obey the said order, a fine not exceeding fifty dollars, and in default of payment, the person so refusing or neglecting to obey the said order may be imprisoned for any term not exceeding three months.

4. Any member of the Sanitary Board may at any reasonable time enter, or may, upon complaint and after due enquiry, by writing under his hand depute an Inspector of Nuisances to enter any house and inspect the condition of the same; any person refusing to permit the said member of the Sanitary Board or the Inspector of Nuisances duly deputed by him, to enter and examine any such house shall, on conviction thereof before a Magistrate be liable to a fine not exceeding ten dollars or in default of payment, to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding fourteen days.

5. Where any person is suffering from Small-pox or any other contagious or infectious disease and is without proper lodging or accommodation or is lodged in a tenement occupied by more than one family or is on board any ship or vessel a Magistrate may on the certificate of the Colonial Surgeon order the removal of such person to such suitable hospital or other like place as may be provided for the purpose.

6. Where any tenement has been occupied by any person affected with Small-pox or other infectious or contagious disease, the Colonial Surgeon may give notice in writing to the owner or occupier to disinfect and purify such tenement, in such manner and within such time as the Colonial Surgeon may direct, and if the person to whom notice is so given fails to comply therewith, he shall be liable on conviction thereof before a Magistrate to such fine as will in the opinion of the Magistrate suffice to cover the expense of disinfect- ing and purifying such tenement which fine shall be paid over to the Sanitary Board for the purposes of this Ordinance, and to a further penalty not exceeding five dollars for every day during which he continues to make default, and the Colonial Surgeon may cause such tenement to be disinfected and purified.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH MAY, 1883.

7. In case of emergency the Sanitary Board may order the immediate removal of any noxious accumulation and the closing up of such wells, cess-pools or drains, in any tenement, as in their opinion may be immediately injurious to the Public Health, and the cost incurred shall be chargeable either to the occupants of such tenements, or to the public as the Board shall decide.

8. No person shall, after the passing of this Ordinance, erect a water-closet within his tenement, or connect such water-closet by means of a connection-drain with any public or private sewer, without the written permission of the Sanitary Board.

9.

Provided, that the licencees of public latrines shall still be at liberty to dispose of the night-soil from latrines existing at the time of the passing of this Ordinance under the regulations in force at the time of the passing of this Ordinance, and that the owners of gardens in villages, may use on their own lands the waste products of their tenements if conveyed according to such regulations.

10.

11. The keeping of pigs, goats, or cattle without a Licence from the Sanitary Board is hereby prohibited, and any person keeping such animals, either without a Licence from the Sanitary Board or in a manner contravening such Sanitary Conditions as may be endorsed on such Licence, shall be liable on conviction before a Magistrate to a fine not exceeding five dollars, and in default of payment to imprisonment for any term not exceeding fourteen days, and to forfeit all animals in respect of the keeping of which he has so offended.

The following Agreement between the Governments of Great Britain and Siam for regulating the Traffic in Spirituous Liquors, is published for general information.

By Command,

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 26th May, 1883.

Agreement between the Governments of Great Britain and Siam

for regulating the Traffic in Spirituous Liquors.

Signed at London, April 6, 1883.

THE Government of Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Government of His Majesty the King of Siam, being desirous of making satisfactory arrange- ments for the regulation of the traffic in spirituous liquors in Siam, the undersigned, duly authorized to that effect, have agreed as follows:-

ARTICLE I.

Spirits of all kinds not exceeding in alcoholic strength those permitted to be manufactured by the Siamese Government in Siam may be imported and sold by British subjects on payment of the same duty as that levied by the Siamese excise laws upon spirits manufactured in Siam; and spirits exceed- ing in alcoholic strength spirits manufactured in Siam as aforesaid may be imported and sold upon payment of such duty and of a proportionate additional duty for the excess of alcoholic strength above the Siamese Government standard.

Beer and wines may be imported and sold by British subjects on payment of the same duty as 'that levied by the Siamese excise laws upon similar articles manufactured in Siam, but the duty on imported beer and wines shall in no case exceed 10 per cent. ad valorem.

The said duty on imported spirits, beer, and wines shall be in substitution of, and not in addition to, the import duty of 3 per cent. leviable under the existing Treaties; and no further duty, tax, or imposition whatever shall be imposed on imported spirits, beer, and wines.

The scale of excise duty to be levied upon spirits, beer, and wines manufactured in Siam shall be communicated by the Siamese Government to Her Majesty's Agent and Consul-General at Bangkok, and no change in the excise duties shall affect British subjects until after the expiration of six months from the date at which such notice shall have been communicated by the Siamese Government to Her Majesty's Representative at Bangkok.

ARTICLE II.

The testing of spirits imported into the kingdom of Siam by British subjects shall be carried out by European officials nominated by the Siamese authorities, and by an equal number of experts nominated by Her Majesty's Consul. In case of difference the parties shall nominate a third person, who shall act as umpire.

ARTICLE III.

The Siamese Government may stop the importation by British subjects into Siam of any spirits which, on examination, shall be proved to be deleterious to the public health; and they may give notice to the importers, consignees, or holders thereof to export the same within three months from the date of such notice, and if this is not done the Siamese Government may seize the said spirits and may destroy them, provided always that in all such cases the Siamese Government shall be bound to refund any duty which may have been already paid thereon.

The testing of spirits imported by British subjects, and which may be alleged to be deleterious, shall be carried out in the manner provided by Article II.

The Siamese Government engage to take all necessary measures to prohibit and prevent the sale of spirits manufactured in Siam which may be deleterious to the public health.

ARTICLE IV.

Any British subject who desires to retail spirituous liquors, beer, or wines in Siam must take out a special licence for that purpose from the Siamese Government, which shall not be refused without just and reasonable cause.

This licence may be granted upon conditions to be agreed upon from time to time between the two Governments.

432

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH MAY, 1883.

ARTICLE V.

British subjects shall at all times enjoy the same rights and privileges in regard to the importation and sale of spirits, beer, wines, and spirituous liquors in Siam as the subjects of the most favoured nation; and spirits, beer, wines, and spirituous liquors coming from any part of Her Britannic Majesty's dominions shall enjoy the same privileges in all respects as similar articles coming from any other country the most favcured in this respect.

It is therefore clearly understood that British subjects are not bound to conform to the provisions of the present Agreement to any greater extent than the subjects of other nations are so bound.

ARTICLE VI.

Subject to the provisions of Article V, the present Agreement shall come into operation on a date to be fixed by mutual consent between the two Governments, and shall remain in force until the expiration of six months' notice given by either party to determine the same.

The existing Treaty engagements between Great Britain and Siam shall continue in full force until the present Agreement comes into operation-and after that date, except in so far as they are modified hereby.

Should the present Agreement be terminated the Treaty engagements between Great Britain and Siam shall revive, and remain as they existed previously to the signature hereof.

ARTICLE VII.

In this Agreement the words "British subject" shall include any naturalized or protected subject of Her Britannic Majesty; and the words "Her Majesty's Consul" shall include any Consular officer of Her Britannic Majesty in Siam.

In witness whereof the Undersigned have signed the same in duplicate, and have affixed thereto their seals.

Done at London the sixth day of April, 1883, corresponding to the fourteenth day of the waning moon of the month Phagunamas. of the year Horse, Fourth Decade, 1244, of the Siamese Astronomical Era.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

NEW CUTTING AND PROPOSED ALTERATION OF LIGHTS AT THE

BAR OF THE RIVER BRISBANE.

Towards the latter end of May, it is expected that the straight cutting across the Bar of the Brisbane River will be completed to a width of 200 feet. When this is effected, the channel will be shown by two Lighthouses, 1,433 yards apart, placed on the Fisherman Islands.

The Lighthouses in line will lead through the cutting, at a distance of 50 feet from the Eastern edge of the channel. Vessels going out will therefore keep the Lighthouses in line, while those entering must keep them open to the Westward when meeting another vessel in the cutting.

By night the lower, or northern leading light will be red.

The Lightship will at the same time be moored outside the Bar, and on the Eastern side of the cutting during the erection of the pile Lighthouse, and from her the tidal signals will be made as usual. She will lie in about 3 fathoms at low water, and all vessels entering the cutting are to pass to the Northward and Westward of her, and thus keep clear of the piles for the pile Lighthouse, which will be placed to the Southward of the Lightship.

HONGKONG, 3rd May, 1882.

you, for

SIR,-On behalf of the Medical Practitioners in Hongkong I have the honour to forward consideration of His Excellency the Administrator, a Petition praying for an Ordinance to define and regulate the persons entitled to practise Medicine in this Colony.

In consequence of a protest having been entered on the Petition by Mr. FISHER, I deem it desirable to add a few observations.

I take the opportunity of pointing out to His Excellency that, in their petition, the Medical gentlemen have purposely introduced the words "or such portion of them (Medical Acts) as may be applicable" or "an Ordinance may be passed regulating &c.," for they do not desire to confine the registration of Diplomas in this Colony to such only as are British (or as are registrable under the Medical Act); what they do want is to have a reliable assurance that every person practising in this Colony as a Physician and Surgeon possesses some qualification entitling him to do so, and that such qualification has been granted to him after and in consequence of his having passed through a course of study and examinations as thorough and sufficient as is the minimum course in any like case approved by the Privy Council under Section 21 of the Medical Act now in force in Great Britain.

The fact that the signatories include men holding German, American, Canadian and Portuguese diplomas is sufficient proof, they submit, that they wish Registration to be extended to qualifications other than British.

With regard to the second objection, "that no proper Medical Council could be formed," I may be permitted to remark that such a difficulty has not been found insuperable in other Colonies possessing Acts or Ordinances regulating Medical Practice, and would not be found so in this Colony. I would submit that the Colonial Surgeon, the Deputy Inspector General of Hospitals and Fleets on this station, the Principal Army Medical Officer, and, if necessary, such other qualified Medical Practitioners as His Excellency might see fit from time to time to appoint, should constitute the Medical Board. With such constitution it is difficult to imagine that any charge of unfairness could be reasonably brought against it. Since its members would constantly change, and a large proportion of them would not be engaged in private practice, it would not be at all liable to be influenced in its decisions by private or personal motives. Information regarding Foreign Diplomas could be obtained through the various Consuls, or by other means adopted by the Medical Board, and in all cases it is suggested there would be a final appeal to His Excellency in Council.

In reference to the third objection of Mr. FISHER'S set forth in his protest, "that there is no necessity for the passing of such an Act," I am desired to direct His Excellency's attention to the preamble of The Medical Act, wherein the sole reason given for the passing of the Act is identical with that which the Medical gentlemen in their petition have urged, viz. the better to enable persons requiring medical aid to distinguish qualified from unqualified Practitioners, and I would also point to the facts that the Legislature in all European Countries, in the Australian Colonies, in New Zealand, in the Dominion of Canada, in the West Indies, in Mauritius, in most countries of South America, has deemed it expedient to pass laws regulating the practice of Medicine and Surgery in their respective countries, and that in the United States the leading Medical Corporations are at the present moment strenuously endeavouring (and have in some States partly succeeded) to have similar laws enacted therein, whilst in Great Britain a powerful agitation is being carried on for the purpose of making the Acts already in force still more stringent, and I would also urge that whilst in Hongkong there is a Board before which Ship Masters, their Officers, and Engineers, must produce their qualifications, prior to being entrusted with the charge of Her Majesty's subjects on the high seas; that whilst a Chinese Medical Practitioner must shew evidence of his having passed certain examinations before a Hospital Board in Canton or elsewhere before being allowed to take medical charge of Chinese emigrants; whilst no Barristers or Solicitors can be admitted to practise in the Supreme Court of Hongkong without producing evidence in the one case of having been called to the bar, in the other of having been enrolled as a Solicitor, either in this Colony or at home in England; no such regulations exist regarding the sister Profession, in whose hands are placed the health and safety of the general community.

I need hardly point out to you that any objection of medical men to a similar Act or Ordinance. being passed here to that in force in other of Her Majesty's Colonies would have to be considered side by side with the protection to which the persons in this Colony requiring medical aid are entitled to at the hands of Her Majesty's Government.

I have the honour to be.

SHEWETH,

WILLIAM HENRY MARSH. C.M.G..

Administrator of the Colony of Hongkong,

St.,

Sc.,

Se.

The humble Petition of the undersigned Medical Practitioners practising in the Colony of Ilongkong.

That it is expedient that persons requiring Medical Aid should be enabled to distinguish qualified from unqualified Practitioners.

That at the present time there is no Law defining or regulating the persons entitled to practise medicine in this Colony, except such as was in force in England at the time of the assumption of this Colony by Her Majesty.

That your Petitioners think it desirable in the interest of the persons residing in this Colony that the laws regulating the qualifications of Practitioners in Medicine and Surgery as at present in force in England, or such portion thereof as are applicable and with such modifications as may be deemed fit, should be extended to this Colony, or that an Ordinance for such purpose containing the necessary regulations be passed.

Dated the 3rd day of May, 1882.

Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray that Your Excellency will be pleased to give a favour- able consideration to this Petition.

And Petitioners will ever pray, &c.

I must decline to sign this Petition for the following reasons:

465

1stly.--The introduction of the British Medical Acts would operate very unfairly against Medical men who have had no opportunity of obtaining the legal qualifications required by the Acts.

2ndly.--No proper Medical Council could be formed in the Colony to supervise the working of these Acts, and to take care that they would be carried out fairly and without prejudice. This body is the great protection to medical men in England.

3rdly.—I am of opinion that the introduction of these Acts cannot be shewn to be necessary to the protection of the public in this Colony.

Hongkong, April 21st, 1882.

J. C. FISHER, M.D.

Report by the Attorney General.

May 5th, 1882.

1. The petition is not quite accurate as to the present state of the law. The Imperial Act, 21 and 22 Vic., Cap. 90, applies in this Colony, and every person registered under it is entitled according to his qualification to practise medicine and surgery in this Colony and to sue for his charges.

2. What I understand the petitioners to desire is that a Register may be established in this Colony upon which should be entered the names of all persons entitled to practise medicine and surgery in the Colony.

3. The Register to comprise :-

(a.) All persons in the Colony now entitled to practise in the Colony under the Imperial Act

21 and 22 Vic., Cap. 90.

(b.) All persons in the Colony who have been registered in any other British Colony.

(e.) All persons in the Colony who hold a diploma, licence, or certificate, granted in any uni- versity or college or faculty after and in consequence of their having passed through a course of study and examination as thorough and sufficient as the minimum course in any like case approved by the Privy Council under section 21 of the Imperial Act, 21 and 22 Victoria. Cap. 90, upon proper proof.

4. And that by law:----

1. No person should be entitled to recover his charges for medical or surgical attendance

unless registered.

2. Any person not registered who falsely takes any title implying a qualification to practise

medicine or surgery shall be punishable.

5. The law to be administered by a medical Council which would examine into the sufficiency of diplomas, licence, &c.. above mentioned (par. 3 (c)) subject to appeal to Governor in Council.

6. I apprehend that there is quite sufficient material for the composition of the necessary Council. It would be easy to provide by a short clause that the enactment should not interfere with the practise of medicine and surgery by Chinese amongst Chinese, and I do not see that there is any legal objection to giving effect to the wishes of the petitioners by an Ordinance, if it should be thought right to do so as a matter of policy.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 9th June, 1889.

W. H. MARSH,

AT THE COURT AT WINDSOR,

The 19th day of March 1883.

PRESENT,

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the "Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862," it is enacted that, whenever it is made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of merchant ships, for the time being in force under the principal Act; have been adopted by the Government of any foreign country, and are in force in that country, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by Order in Council, to direct that the ships of such foreign country shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of registry, or other national papers; and, thereupon, it shall no longer be necessary for such ships to be remeasured in any port or place in Her Majesty's dominions, but such ships shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of registry, or other papers, in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes in, to, and for which the tonnage, denoted in the certificates of registry of British Ships, is to be deemed the tonnage of such ships.

And whereas it was made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of Merchant Ships, for the time being in force under the principal Act had been, with certain exceptions, adopted by the Government of the United States of America, and Her Majesty by Order in Council dated the 30th day of July, 1868, was pleased to direct that the Merchant Ships of the said United States of America the measurement whereof should, after the 1st of January, 1865, have been ascertained and denoted on the registers, and other national papers of such ships, testified by the dates thereof, should be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such registers or other national papers, in the same manner, and to the same extent, and for the same purpose, in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the Certificates of registry of British Ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships, after making therefrom the same deductions, in respect of crew space and engine room, as would, if such ships were British, be made from their gross tonnage, under the laws relating to British Ships:

And whereas the Government of the said United States of America have provided that, on and after the 5th day of August, 1882, a deduction from the gross tonnage of every vessel of the United States, shall, on measurement or remeasurement thereof, be made for crew space in sailing ships, and for crew and engine space in Steamships:

And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty that, in consequence of such last recited provision, the rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of Merchant Ships, now in force under "The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854," have been adopted by the Government of the United States of America, with the exception of a difference in the mode in certain steamers, of estimating the allow- ance for engine room, and such rules are now in force in that country, having come into operation on the 5th day of August, 1882, and that it is desirable that the ships of the said United States, measured or remeasured as aforesaid, on or after the said 5th day of August, 1882, shall, instead of requiring remeasurement in the United Kingdom for crew space in sailing ships, or for crew and engine space in steam ships, be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of registry or other national

papers:

NOW THEREFORE, Her Majesty is hereby pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to direct as follows:-

1. As regards sailing ships; that Merchant Sailing ships of the said United States of America, the measurement whereof after the said 5th day of August, 1882, has been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such sailing ships, testified by the date thereof, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such registers, and other national papers, in the same manner, and to the same extent, and for the same purpose in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the certificate of registry of British sailing ships, is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 9TH JUNE, 1883.

471

2. As regards steam ships; that merchant ships belonging to the said United States of America, which are propelled by steam or any other power requiring engine room, the measurement whereof shall, after the said 5th day of August, 1882, have been ascertained and denoted in the registers and other national papers of such steam ships, testified by the dates thereof, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such registers or other national papers in the same manner, and to the same extent, and for the same purpose in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in the certificates of registry of British ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships. Provided, nevertheless, that if the owner or master of any such American Steam Ship desires the deduction for engine room in his ships to be estimated under the rules for engine room measurement and deduction applicable to British Ships, instead of under the American rule, the engine room shall be measured, and the deduction calculated, according to the British rules.

The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer, with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symptoms exist and the wind be anywhere between North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

The Typhoon season in Hongkong is generally considered to commence in June and to end in October.

ments therein or connected therewith are in such an unwholesome or defective state as to be or to be likely to become a source. of danger to the in- habitants or neighbours, or

(b.) that the Sanitary Conditions prescribed by or under authority of law are not fulfilled in respect of the said house or tenement or of any of the arrangements therein,

2. They shall not open or break up or alter the level of any road except with the authority, under the superintendence, and to the satisfaction, of the Surveyor General.

3. They shall leave an interval of at least a quarter of a mile between any two places at which they may open or break up the road, and they shall not open or break up at any such place a greater length than one hundred yards.

14. When the Company have opened or broken up any portion of any road, they shall be under the following further obligations, namely:---

T.

16. After and so soon as each of the said Tramways has been opened for the public traffic, the Surveyor General shall maintain in good condition and repair the whole of the road whereon each of the said Tramways is laid, and the Company shall pay to the Surveyor General the cost of the maintenance and repair of so much of any road whereon any Tramway is laid as lies between the rails of the Tramway and also (where two lines of Tramway are laid by the Company in any road at a distance of not more than four feet from each other) the cost of the maintenance and repair of the portion of the road between the Tram- ways, and also in every case the cost of the maintenance and repair of so much of the road as extends eighteen inches beyond the rails of, and on each side of, each Tram- way.

or discontinuance, and immediately on receipt of any such

notice the Company may, subject to such conditions and regulations as the Surveyor General may from time to time make, construct in the same or any adjacent road, and, subject as aforesaid, maintain so long as necessary a temporary Tramway in lieu of the Tramway or part thereof so removed or discontinued, and the road on which such temporary Tramway is laid shall, subject as aforesaid, be maintained so long as necessary by the Surveyor General at the expense of the Company.

nway, or any work connected there- with, interferes with any sewer, drain, water-course, or sub-way, or in any way affects the sewerage or drainage of the said Colony of Hongkong, the Company shall not commence any such Tramway or work until they shall have given to the Surveyor General fourteen days previous notice in writing of their intention so to do, and leaving with such notice all necessary particulars relating thereto, nor until the Surveyor General shall have signified his approval of the same, unless he do not signify his approval, disapproval, or other directions within fourteen days after service of the said notice and particulars as aforesaid; and the Company shall comply with the directions of the Surveyor General in the execution of the said works, and shall provide by new, altered, or substituted works, in such manner as the Surveyor General shall require, for the proper protection of, and for preventing injury or impedi- ment to the sewers and works hereinbefore referred to by or by reason of the Tramways, and shall save harmless the Surveyor General against the expense occasioned thereby; and all such works shall be done by or under the superin- tendence of the Surveyor General at the cost and expense of the Company, and when any new, altered or substituted work shall be completed by, or at the cost or expense

of the Company under this Ordinance, the same shall there- after be as completely under the control of the Surveyor General, and be maintained by him, as any other sewers or works.

22. Nothing in this Ordinance shall take away or abridge any power to open or break up any road along or across which any Tramway is laid, or any other power now or hereafter to be vested in any other Company, or persons, or person for the doing of any matter or thing, which such Company or such persons or person is are or will be authorized to do, but, in the exercise of such power, every such other Company, or persons or person, shall be subject to the following restrictions (that is to say):-

Where any such order has been made, the Surveyor General may, at any time after the expiration of two months from the date of such order, under the authority of a certificate to that effect by the Governor in Council, remove the Tramway, or part of the Trainway so discontinued, and the Company shall pay to the Surveyor General the cost of such removal, and of the making good of the road by the Surveyor General, such cost to be certified by the Surveyor General, whose certifi- cate shall be final and conclusive; and if the Company fail to pay the amount so certified within two months after delivery to them of such certificate or a true copy thereof, the Surveyor General may, without any previous notice to the Company (but without prejudice to any other remedy which he may have for the recovery of the amount) sell and dispose of the materials of the Tramway, or part of the Tramway removed, either by public auction or private sale, and for such sum or sums and to such person or persons as he may think fit, and may out of the proceeds of such sale reimburse himself the amount of the cost certified as aforesaid, and of the cost of sale, and the balance, if any, of the proceeds of sale shall be paid to the Company.

The purchase money or compensation to be paid any of the said lands mentioned in the said Schedule D. and required to be purchased or taken by the company from any party who, by reason of absence from the Colony of Hongkong, is prevented from treating, or who cannot after diligent enquiry be found, shall be determined upon petition to the Court in a summary way, and the expenses thereof and incident thereto shall be borne by the Company.

79. In estimating the purchase money or compensation to be paid by the Company in any of the cases aforesaid, regard may be had not only to the value of the land to be purchased or taken by the Company, but also to the damage if any to be sustained by the owner of the lands by reason of the severing of the lands taken from other lands of such owner, or of such other lands being other- wise injuriously affected by the exercise of the powers of this Ordinance, and to the fact that the lands taken are so taken from such owner compulsorily.

80. When the compensation payable in respect of any of the said lands mentioned in the said Schedule D., or any interest therein, shall have been ascertained and paid into Court under the provisions herein contained, by reason that the owner of, or party entitled to assign such lands or such interest therein as aforesaid could not be found, or was absent from the said Colony of Hongkong, if such owner or party shall be dissatisfied with such determination, it shall be law- ful for him, before he shall have applied to the Court for payment out or investment of the monies so paid into Court, by notice in writing to the Company to require the ques- tion of such compensation to be determined by a suit to be instituted in the Court in its Original Jurisdiction in the same manner as is hereinbefore provided for in other cases of disputed compensation, and thereupon the same shall be so determined accordingly.

81. The question to be determined in the case last afore- said shall be, whether the said sum so paid into Court as aforesaid by the Company was a sufficient sum, or whether any, and what further sum ought to be paid into Court by them.

82. If it shall be determined that a further sum ought to be paid into Court by the Company, they shall so pay, such further sum within fourteen days after such deter- mination or, in default thereof, the same may be enforced by attachment, or recovered, with costs, by action or suit.

83.

107. If, in either of the cases aforesaid, upon such payment or tender, any mortgagee shall fail to assign or re- lease his interest in such mortgage as directed by the Com- pany, or if he fail to adduce a good title thereto to their satisfaction, or if he be absent from the Colony, whether temporarily or permanently, or in hiding, or cannot after diligent enquiry be found, then it shall be lawful for the Company to pay into Court in the manner provided by this Ordinance in like cases, the principal and (if the same can be ascertained) interest and costs, if any, due on such mortgage, and also, if such payment be made before the expiration of the notices aforesaid, such further interest (if the same can be ascertained) as would at such expira- tion become due; and it shall be lawful for them, if they think fit, to prepare a deed of conveyance, assignment or assurance and release of such mortgaged lands to them- selves, and to tender such deed, after the same shall have been duly stamped as required by law, to the Registrar for execution on behalf of the mortgagee and other (if any) the assuring and releasing parties, and thereupon the Registrar shall, upon an order of the Court to be obtained upon petition in a summary way, execute the same; and thereupon, as well as upon such assignment by the mortgagee, if any, being made, all the estate and interest of such mortgagee, and of all persons in trust for him, or for whom he may be a trustee in such lands shall vest in the Company, and they shall be entitled to immediate possession thereof in case such mortgagee were himself entitled to such possession.

112. Provided always that in any of the cases herein- before provided with respect to lands subject to mortgage, if in the mortgage deed a time shall have been limited for payment of the principal money thereby secured, and under the provisions hereinbefore contained the mortgagee shall have been required to accept payment of his mortgage money, or of part thereof, at a time earlier than the time so limited, the Company shall pay to such mortgagee, in addi- tion to the sum which shall have been so paid off, all such costs and expenses as shall be incurred by such mortgagee in respect of or which shall be incidental to the re-invest- ment of the sum so paid off, such costs in case of difference to be taxed, and payment thereof enforced in the manner herein provided with respect to the costs of assignments; and if the rate of interest secured by such mortgage be higher than at the time of the same being so paid off can reasonably be expected to be obtained on re-investing the same, regard being had to the then current rate of interest allowed by the Court, such mortgagee shall be entitled to receive from the Company, in addition to the principal and interest hereinbefore provided for, compensation in respect of the loss to be sustained by him by reason of his mortgage money being so prematurely paid off, the amount of such compensation to be ascertained, in case of difference, as in other cases of disputed compensation; and until payment or tender of such compensation as aforesaid the Company shall not be entitled, as against such mortgagee, to possession of the mortgaged lands under the provisions herein before contained. Provided that the Court or a Judge may order such payment or tender to be dispensed with if it or he shall think fit so to do, and such mortgage money and compensation to be paid into Court, and, on such payment being made, the Company shall be entitled, as against such mortgagee, to possession of the mortgaged lands under the powers hereinbefore contained.

Rent-Charges.

113. If any difference shall arise between the Company and the party entitled to any rent-charge, or chief or other rent, or other payment or incumbrance not hereinbefore provided for, upon any of the said lands mentioned in the said Schedule D., and required to be taken for the

purposes of this Ordinance, respecting the consideration to be paid for the release of such lands therefrom, or from the portion thereof affecting the lands required for the purposes of this Ordinance, the same shall be determined as in other cases of disputed compensation.

114. If part only of the lands charged with any such rent-charge, chief or other rent, payment or incumbrance, be required to be taken for the purposes of this Ordinance, the apportionment of any such charge may be determined by agreement between the party entitled to such charge and the owner of the lands on the one part, and the Company on the other part, and if such apportionment be not so determined by agreement, the same shall be determined by the Court or a Judge upon petition in a summary way, but if the remaining part of the lands so jointly subject be a sufficient security for such charge, then, with consent of the owner of the lands so jointly subject, it shall be lawful for the party entitled to such charge to release therefrom the lands required, on condition or in considera- tion of such other lands remaining exclusively subject to the whole thereof.

115. Upon payment or tender of the compensation so of refusal to agreed upon or determined to the party entitled to any such charge as aforesaid, such party shall execute to the Com- pany a release of such charge; and if he fail so to do, or if he fail to adduce good title to such charge to the satisfac- tion of the Company, or if he be absent from the Colony, whether temporarily or permanently, or in hiding, or cannot after diligent enquiry be found, it shall be lawful for them

to pay the amount of such compensation into Court, and also if they think fit to prepare a deed of release of such charge, and to tender the same, after the same shall have been duly stamped as required by law, to the Registrar for execution on behalf of the releasing parties, and thereupon the Registrar shall, upon an order of the Court to be obtained upon petition in a summary way, execute the same, and the rent-charge, chief or other rent, payment or incumbrance, or the portion thereof in respect whereof such compensation shall so have been paid shall cease and be extinguished.

116. If any such lands be so released from any such charge or incumbrance, or portion thereof, to which they were subject jointly with other lands, such last-mentioned lands shall alone be charged with the whole of such charge, or with the remainder thereof, as the case may be, and the party entitled to the charge shall have all the same rights and remedies over such last-mentioned lands for the whole or the remainder of the charge, as the case may be, as he had previously over the whole of the lands subject to such charge; and if upon any such charge or portion of charge being so released the deed or instrument creating or transferring such charge be tendered to the Company for the purpose, they shall affix their common seal to a memoran- dum of such release endorsed on such deed or instrument, declaring what part of the lands originally subject to such charge shall have been purchased by virtue of this Ordi- nance, and if the lands be released from part of such charge, what proportion of such charge shall have been released, and how much thereof continues payable, or if the lands so required shall have been released from the whole of such charge, then that the remaining lands are thenceforward to remain exclusively charged therewith; and such memo- randum shall be made and executed at the expense of the Company, and shall be evidence in the Courts and elsewhere of the facts therein stated, but not so as to exclude any other evidence of the same facts.

117. Where part only of any lands comprised in a lease for a term of years shall be required for the purposes of this Ordinance, the rent payable in respect of the lands comprised in such lease shall be apportioned between the lands so required and the residue of such lands; and such apportionment may be determined by agreement between the lessor (including Her Majesty, her heirs and succes- sors, in those cases where Her Majesty, her heirs or suc- cessors, shall be the lesser) and the lessee of such lands on the one part, and the Company on the other part, and if such apportionment be not so determined by agree- ment between the parties, such apportionment shall be determined by the Court or a Judge, upon petition in a summary way, and after such apportionment the lessee of such lands shall, as to all future accruing rent, be liable only for so much of the rent as shall be so apportioned in respect of the lands not required for the purposes of this Ordinance; and as to the lands not so required, and as against the lessee, the lessor shall have all the same rights and remedies for the recovery of such portion of rent as previously to such apportionment he had for the recovery of the whole rent reserved by such lease; and all the cove- nants, conditions, and agreements of such lease, except as to the amount of rent to be paid, shall remain in force with regard to that part of the land which shall not be required for the purposes of this Ordinance, in the same manner as they would have done in case such part only of the land had been included in the lease.

118. Every such lessee as last aforesaid shall be entitled to receive from the Company compensation for the damage done to him in his tenancy by reason of the severance of the lands required from those not required or otherwise by reason of the execution of the works.

119. If any such lands shall be in the possession of any person having no greater interest therein than as tenant for a year, or from year to year, and if such person be required to give up possession of any lands so occupied by him before the expiration of his term or interest therein, he shall be entitled to compensation for the value of his unexpired term or interest in such lands, and for any just allowance which ought to be made to him by an incoming tenant, and for my loss or injury he may sustain, or if a part only of such lands be required, compensation for the damage done to him in his tenancy by severing the lands held by him or otherwise injuriously affecting the same; and the amount of such compensation shall be determined,

Colonial Secretary.

1.-The general duties and functions of the Senior Inspector of Nuisances shall be in all respects similar to those of an Inspector of Nuisances, save and except that he shall not have any Special Health-District in the City under his charge, but shall exercise surpervision over the work of the three District Inspectors of Nuisances, who shall be subordinate to him and who shall implicitly obey his instructions in all Sanitary matters.

2.-It shall be the duty of the Senior Inspector to inspect the whole of the streets, roads and thoroughfares of the City of Victoria at least twice a week, with the object of seeing that the District Inspectors of Nuisances, and the native watchmen are performing their duties efficiently, and that the Government Contractors for the Night-soil Removal and for the Surface Scavenging of the City are complying with the terms of their contracts in every detail.

3.--It shall be the duty of the Senior Inspector to call the immediate attention of the Inspectors of Nuisances or of the native watchmen to any acts which he may observe on their part of negligence or of disobedience of the instructions framed by the Sanitary Board for their guidance, and the Senior Inspector shall in very instance also report such acts of negligence or disobedience to the Sanitary Inspector.

4. The Senior Inspector shall once a week on irregular days inspect all the public dust-bins, night-soil boats, dust-boats and dust-carts, and he shall see that they as well as all implements and utensils used by the Contractors' coolies are maintained by the Contractor in an efficient and cleanly condition, in accordance with the terms of the Government contracts.

5.--The Senior Inspector shall once a week, on irregular days, visit all the public latrines of the City and see that they are kept in a cleanly and orderly state by the Licencees, and that they are properly and systematically supervised by the Inspectors of Nuisances and native watchmen.

6. The Senior Inspector shall once a week, on irregular days, visit the Rubbish Depôt at Lápsápwán and the night-soil anchorage off Stone Cutters' Island with a view to the repression of any nuisances or infractions of the Government Contracts that may come under his observation in those two localities.

8.-The principal duties of the Senior Inspector in respect of the European tenements in the Hill Districts shall be,

(i.) To see that the Government night-soil Contractor carefully removes once every day all night-soil and urine from every tenement within the hours and in the manner provided in his contract.

(ii.) To see that all sullage and kitchen-slops are kept by every householder in a water-tight and properly covered receptacle, that such slops are removed daily by hand by the Government Scavenging Contractor within the hours and in the manner prescribed in his contract. (iii.) To see that every tenement is provided with a suitable dust-box in accordance with the Government Standard pattern, that all solid kitchen-refuse, garbage, ashes, dust and house- sweepings are deposited in the dust-box and in no other place or receptacle, and that the contents of the dust-box are daily removed and disposed of by the Government Scavenging Contractor, within the hours, and in the manner provided in his contract.

(iv.) To see that only ablution-waters be allowed to be retained and disposed of within any tenement or premises, and that such ablution-waters shall not be allowed to escape broadcast on to any land, hillside or road, public or private, within the drainage area of the Pokfúlam Reservoir, but that they shall be conveyed through a watertight and properly constructed drain into a cess-pit, which shall be periodically emptied by every householder in the manner provided in the published Code of Sanitary Rules for the Hill District.

(v.) To see that no kitchen, scullery, pantry, latrine, stable, or out-office of any tenement be provided with an underground drain, or with a gully hole or perforation through any wall forming a channel of escape for sullage or kitchen-slops, thereby enabling the servants of any tenement to elude or defeat the provision which obliges all such sullage or slops to be kept in covered receptacles for daily removal by hand, and upon the discovery of any such drain or channel of escape the Senior Inspector shall require its immediate removal. vi.) To see that no manurial cultivation of gardens is effected anywhere within the drainage area of the Pokfúlam Reservoir, and to see that no refuse or waste matters, offensive or inoffensive, are thrown or deposited upon any hillside, vacant ground, road or drain, whether the property of the Government or not, but that all such waste matters are removed in the manner prescribed in the published code of Sanitary Rules for the Hill District. (vii.) To see that all the provisions of the aforesaid code are carefully observed by householders

and their servants as well as by the Gevernment Contractors.

9.-The Senior Inspector shall be assisted in his duties by a permanent resident watchman appointed specially for the Hill District, and it shall be the duty of the watchman to maintain a daily personal surveillance over the sanitation of every house in the Hill District, to see that householders and their servants comply with the conditions contained in the published code of Sanitary Rules, and that the Government Contractors carry out with due punctuality and efficiency every detail of their respective contracts for the removal of night-soil and waste products from all tenements; and it shall be the special duty of the watchman to see by constant inspection that the Contractors' servants do not throw or deposit any refuse matters on any hillside, road, or drain, but that they convey and dispose of such matters in the manner prescribed in the Sanitary Rules aforesaid.

10. The Senior Inspector shall periodically visit the villages and out-stations of the Colony with a view to ensuring that the terms of the village Scavenging Contracts are being strictly carried out by the Government Local Contractors, and that the villagers under the surveillance of the Police Inspec- tor comply with the Sanitary laws of the Colony, more especially with the Rules and Regulations issued by the Governor in Council under the Order and Cleanliness Ordinances of 1867 and 1883.

11.--Upon arrival at a village the Senior Inspector shall proceed to visit the Police Inspector, and shall in conjunction with that officer make a careful general inspection of the whole village, satis- fying himself as to the manner in which the village Contractor is carrying out his contract, and noting the condition of the streets, side-channels, sewer-traps, dust-bins, public latrines, and licensed manure depôts, and he shall also inspect all drinking wells and other sources of water supply, with a view to the prompt removal of any causes of pollution of the same that may come under his observation.

12.--The Senior Inspector shall also make periodical inspections of all such Rural Districts in the Colony as may be partially inhabited, with a view to the promotion of the practical sanitation of such districts and to the removal of any nuisances injurious to the Public Health.

13. The Senior Inspector, upon the occasion of every visit to a village, an outstation, or to a rural district, shall submit a report to the Sanitary Inspector on the condition of such village or district, and in the case of a village, on the manner in which the village Contractor is carrying out the terms of his contract, as also on the efficiency or otherwise of the surveillance of the village Police. He shall always accompany such reports by such practical suggestions as he may be able to offer for abatement of the nuisances reported, or for the remedying of such evils as may have come under his observation, and he shall take the instructions of the Sanitary Inspector with reference to any action to be taken upon his reports.

1.-It shall be the duty of the Inspectors of Nuisances to see that all such provisions relating to practical sanitation as are contained in the Ordinances of the Colony are duly complied with by the Public, and to see that complete effect is given more especially to such Rules and Regulations as may from time to time be issued by the Governor in Council under the Order and Cleanliness Ordinances No. 9 of 1867 and No. 7 of 1883.

2.-The Inspectors of Nuisances shall see that the Government Scavenging and Night-soil Contrac- tors for the time being strictly comply with the terms of their contracts, and that all night-soil and urine, all house-sweepings and dry rubbish, and all refuse, noxious or innocuous, are removed in accordance with the prescribed regulations at least once a day from every tenement in the City of Victoria.

3.-The Inspectors of Nuisances shall see that all streets, public and private, all roads, courts' alleys, footpaths, passages, sewer-mouths and gully holes, sewer-traps, gratings, foreshores, nullahs, Government waste lands and open spaces, and private vacant lots within the City of Victoria are at all times maintained in a cleanly and inoffensive condition.

4. The Inspectors of Nuisances shall take special note of houses where the occupants are in the habit of throwing out their house-slops and dry rubbish into the street, and take immediate steps to stop the practice.

5.-The Inspectors of Nuisances shall inspect their respective districts daily, taking a sufficient number of streets for close and thorough examination every day, in such manner as to insure that every thoroughfare in the district will come under examination once in three days, but they must so arrange as to prevent their visits to the same streets falling due periodically upon the same days of the week.

6.---The Inspectors of Nuisances shall with the permission of the occupants enter, within reasonable hours, all houses against which nuisance-complaints may have been lodged, or all such houses where they themselves may have good and valid reason to suspect the existence of nuisances prejudicial to the Public Health.

7.---Should the occupants of such houses object to admit the Inspector of Nuisances, the latter shall withdraw and submit the case to the Sanitary Inspector, under whose specific instructions he shall subsequently act in each intance, but in no case shall an Inspector of Nuisances, enter any private tenement against the wish of the occupants unless specially directed and deputed so to do by the Sanitary Inspector or by a member of the Sanitary Board.

8.--The first and principal duties of an Inspector of Nuisances in respect of Sanitary reform in private tenements are:-

(i.) To see by continuous and patient enquiry of the occupants, and by personal investigation, that the night-soil and urine of the house are removed every day with the strictest regularity, and to take the measures necessary to prevent two or more days' accumulation of night-soil and urine in a house.

(ii.) To see that every house is furnished with a proper dust-box as prescribed by law, that the day's dry rubbish and solid house refuse are kept in the dust-box, and nowhere else, and that the dust-box is emptied every morning with due regularity into the dust-carts or into the public dust-bins.

(iii.) To see that such house-slops as are saved by the occupants for the use of pig-keepers are kept in watertight buckets and actually removed every day by such pig-keepers, and to take the measures necessary to prevent two or three days' accumulation of house-slops within a

tenement.

(iv.) To see that the house drains are in working order, and to report the same immediately to

the Sanitary Inspector if they are found choked, broken or defective,

(v.) To see that there are no cess-pits or cess-pools on any premises; that any cess-pools dis- covered by them are immediately emptied of their contents, and filled up with clean earth at the expense of the householder, and that all liquid refuse and house-slops which are not saved for the pig-keepers, escape into the Government sewers through the house drains.

9.-The Inspectors of Nuisances shall be careful of the respect due to the privacy of even the poorest person in his own house, and will always ask to be admitted before entering a house. Their manner towards the inmates should be always obliging and conciliatory, and they shall have due care not to offend native prejudices unnecessarily. As cleanliness and sanitary reform are likely to be disagreeable to many, it is especially desirable to use persuasion rather than compulsion, and while the measures required should be insisted on with firmness, no opportunity should be lost of explaining to the ignorant that they are nccessary for health and safety.

10.--Resort to the Police Courts may often be necessary for the abatement in private tenements of nuisances of a nature common over the whole town, but if examples are to be made the Inspectors of Nuisances shall select in preference offenders of the highest position, as being those whose short- comings would be the least excusable.

11.--During their domiciliary visits, the Inspectors of Nuisances shall note and report if sewage- gas appears to have access to the house through any communication with the street-sewers, also whether the house is damp, and from what cause, whether rain-water leaks through the roof or whether it is properly carried off, or whether it is caught and stored for domestic use, and in the latter case whether the receptacle containing it appears to be free from contamination with sewage or other impurities of any kind.

12.--In cases where they observe overcrowding in a tenement, the Inspectors of Nuisances shall enquire into the number of inmates lodged in the same, and they shall take a rough measurement of the rooms, and note the height of the ceilings and the number and sizes of the doors and windows, carefully reporting all particulars to the Sanitary Inspector.

13.--In every case where they shall notice such excessive neglect, dirt, and noxious smells within houses as would be likely in their opinion to prejudice the health of the occupants or the neighbours, the Inspectors of Nuisances shall at once call the attention of the occupants to the filthy and unhealthy condition of the premises, and shall require them to effect the complete removal of the cause of the nuisance, and to thoroughly cleanse and purify the tenement.

14.-Inspectors of Nuisances shall report to the Colonial Surgeon all cases coming under their knowledge of persons suffering from small-pox, or other similarly contagious diseases, and shall take the instructions of the Colonial Surgeon direct as to the steps to be taken for the removal of such persons and for the disinfection of their tenements.

15.--The Inspectors of Nuisances upon discovering that pigs are being reared within any dwelling shall require the summary removal of such pigs. They shall be responsible that no pigs are kept anywhere within the precincts of the town without a licence under the hand of the Sanitary Inspector, and they shall be careful that in no case do pigs exceed the number specified in the Licence, and they shall see that the conditions endorsed on such licence are strictly complied with by the pig

owners.

16.--The Inspectors of Nuisances shall regularly visit all places where cows and goats are kept. It shall be their duty to see that, as in the case of pigs, no cows or goats are kept except under a Licence from the Sanitary Inspector, and that the conditions endorsed on such Licence are strictly complied with by the Licencees.

17.--The Inspectors of Nuisances shall have all public wells and all other sources of water supply under constant supervision. They shall periodically examine the waters of the same in the manner to be prescribed to them by the Sanitary Inspector. They shall see that every well is provided with a brick or stone dwarf parapet wall around its mouth, and that the ground is properly concreted with cement, or paved with granite flags to a width of not less than four feet around such parapet. They shall see that the immediate surroundings of wells and other sources of supply are kept in an orderly and cleanly condition, that no linen or clothes are washed near them, and that the buckets used by drawers of water are always clean and proper. They shall note whether any sewer or drain passes along the vicinity of a drinking well, or whether any impure surface drainage is likely to percolate or otherwise to find its way into any well, tank, watercourse or other source of private or public water supply, and they shall immediately report to the Sanitary Inspector any doubt they may have in this respect.

18. The Inspectors of Nuisances shall always observe the water fittings of any premises under their inspection, and report to the Overseer of Waterworks direct in the event of their detecting any waste of the Government Water supply through leaky fittings or other cause.

19.--The Inspectors of Nuisances shall every morning before 7 o'clock inspect every public dust- bin, and they shall at least twice a week (but never periodically upon the same day of the week) examine every public latrine in their respective districts, taking care that the dust-bins and the public latrines are kept as clean and free from smells as circumstances will admit. In the case of public latrines they shall see that all the conditions endorsed on the Government Licences are strictly complied with by the Licencees.

20. The Inspectors of Nuisances shall periodically inspect all places where opium boiling, blood selling, fish drying, tanning, soy-making, or any other noisome occupation or trade is carried out, and they shall take due precaution that through negligence or other cause these occupations or trades do not become a nuisance to the neighbourhood.

21.--The Inspectors of Nuisances shall strictly prohibit the spreading out of clothes, rags, wares, grain, meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, or any kind of property along or across any public street, road, side-channel, footpath, or public thoroughfare, or in the case of vacant lots or open spaces the property of the Crown, they shall see that no such articles are so exposed without a permit from the Sanitary Inspector.

542

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD JUNE, 1883.

22.--The Inspectors of Nuisances are to notice in the course of their inspections if streets, roads, sidechannels, drains, footpaths or any public thoroughfares are being occupied or obstructed by scaffolding, ladders, stone dressed or in the act of being dressed, bricks, timber, bamboos, or any building plant or material; and unless the person causing such obstruction is able to produce a Government permit for the same they shall immediately procure the removal of the obstruction.

23.-The Inspectors of Nuisances are to notice in the course of their inspections if verandahs over Crown land are covered in or enclosed in front, or are being used for storing goods or for cooking purposes, or if they contain urinals or latrines over the public pathways, and if so they shall immediately report the same to the Inspector of Buildings.

24. The Inspectors of Nuisances shall see that no downspouts are extended from the roofs of houses so as to project rain-water on to the road or footpath, thereby damaging the latter; and they shall also see that no house sewage or drainage, offensive or inoffensive, is led out from houses through holes in the walls, and left to drip or flow down the face of such walls on to the footpath, road, or side channel.

25.--It will be their special duty to endeavour to detect and deliver in charge to the nearest police constable persons committing the common offence of depositing night-soil, refuse, or rubbish of any sort into sewer-traps or gulleyholes, or on to any public or private thoroughfare, or on to any vacant ground whether or not the property of the Crown, or into any nullah, or into the harbour, or anywhere other than the places authorised for the purpose.

26.--The Inspectors of Nuisances shall have due care that no road, street, or public thoroughfare or any ground whatsoever, whether or not the property of the Crown, is broken open with a view to the construction of house-drains, connecting with the street sewers, or to the laying or mending of gas or water-pipes, except under the written permit of the Surveyor General.

27. The Inspectors of Nuisances shall make their inspections accompanied always by their interpreters, and in the event of their own inability or the inability of their interpreters, through sickness or other unavoidable cause, to continue in the execution of their duties, notice of the same shall be immediately given to the Sanitary Inspector.

28. They shall keep in a clear and legible handwriting, in a pocket note-book, a brief record of every day's proceedings, taking care to mention, with due accuracy and precision, the names of the streets and the numbers of the houses visited, the condition of the same in regard to cleanliness, the nature of the nuisances or other infractions of law discovered, the measures taken for the prevention or correction of the same, as also the number of sewer-traps cleansed by the Government Scavenging Contractor, together with any other incident of sanitary interest which should come to the knowledge of the Sanitary Inspector.

29.-A clean copy of the day-book containing the past week's proceedings shall be left with the Sanitary Inspector every Saturday at noon, but they shall not fail to report verbally at any hour or upon any day of the week upon any matters requiring immediate action, or concerning which they may desire to obtain the opinion, advice, or instructions of the Sanitary Inspector.

30.-It is arranged that all cases before the Police Court arising from summonses by the Inspectors of Nuisances will be dealt with by the Magistrates at 9 A.M. every day; there will therefore be no occasion for the Inspectors of Nuisances to appear at the Police Court before that hour, and they will return to their inspectional duties immediately after such cases have been disposed of, and their evidence is no longer required by the Magistrates.

31.-As the foregoing Instructions only relate to a limited portion of their duties, the Inspectors of Nuisances will have to use their discretion in dealing with the many unforeseen and exceptional cases which may arise in the daily routine of their duties, and although great energy and firmness are required of them in carrying out the wishes and intentions of the Government in regard to the maintenance of order and cleanliness, especially among the native population, they will bear in mind that it is in all cases desirable that they should exercise their powers with gentleness and moderation, and they should learn carefully to discriminate, in respect of the humbler classes, between those offences of which they wilfully are guilty, and those which are forced upon them by their poverty and by the constructional defects of their houses, for which the landlords are responsible, in which case it will be the latter who must be called upon to remedy the evils according to law.

32.-The Inspectors of Nuisances shall, in their house visitations, clearly explain the object of the same to the inmates, carefully detailing what are the reforms required of them in the interest of themselves and their neighbours, and they shall only have recourse to a summons before the Police Magistrates when expostulation has failed.

33.--With reference to the more aggravated cases of out-door abuses and offences against order and cleanliness, the Inspectors of Nuisances shall always deal with the same by giving the offenders in charge to the nearest Police Constable or by summoning them before the Police Magistrates.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 23RD JUNE, 1883.

543

34.-Except in cases of manifest urgency the Inspectors of Nuisances shall not apply to the Police Magistrate for a summons against any offender without first submitting the details of the complaint to the Sanitary Inspector and obtaining his consent to and approval of such summons.

35.--Any Inspector of Nuisances carrying on his official work by deputy unknown to the Sanitary Inspector, or sending forth his interpreter with power to act for him on inspectional duties of any kind, shall be liable to be recommended to His Excellency the Governor for suspension from office.

36. While on duty, Inspectors of Nuisances shall always be properly dressed in uniform. 37.--No Inspector of Nuisances shall on any account whatsoever, while on duty, leave his own district, on the plea of attending to Sanitary matters in an adjoining district, unless it be to attend at the Police Court or at the Office of the Sanitary Inspector.

38. Each Inspector of Nuisances will have two native Head Watchmen attached to his District, and such Head Watchmen shall carry out the instructions of the Inspectors of Nuisances in all sanitary matters, but more especially in the watchful supervision of the coolies of the Government Scavenging Contractor and Night-soil Removal Contractor, in the prevention and abatement of Nuisances generally, and the promotion of order and cleanliness in their respective Districts.

39. Each Head Watchman shall have under his orders the watchmen of his district, who shall carry out such instructions in respect of Sanitary matters as they shall receive from the Head Watchmen and from the Inspectors of Nuisances.

40.--The Inspectors of Nuisances shall avoid, except in cases of emergency, giving any instructions to the Watchmen direct. They shall in preference communicate with the Head Watchmen, and hold the latter responsible for the actions and conduct of the Watchmen.

41.--The Inspectors of Nuisances shall be responsible to the Sanitary Inspector for any negligence on their part in the prompt prevention, abatement, and detection of nuisances within their districts, and they shall also be responsible for the conduct and efficiency of the native Sanitary Staff under their charge, to whom they shall at all times carefully explain the object and meaning of the measures to be carried out, so as to make them thoroughly understand that the latter are designed purely for the health and safety of the people, and the Inspectors of Nuisances shall see that the Head Watchmen and Watchmen carry out the following instructions:---

9.-The Contractor shall, within such hours as may be directed, empty and thoroughly clean and cleanse out every day all the existing public dust bins, or such additional dust bins as may be constructed during the term of his contract, or such carts as may be stationed and used as public dust bins, carefully removing their contents to the dust boats stationed along the Praya. He shall station one coolie permanently at each dust bin to see that no dust or refuse of any kind is deposited outside the dust bin, and he shall on no consideration whatsoever allow the raking out and sifting of the contents of the dust bin or boat, either by his own servants or by the Public.

10.--The Contractor shall within such hours as may be indicated to him from time to time by the Sanitary Inspector, visit daily with a proper service of dust-carts all the streets now visited, and any other streets which may hereafter be pointed out to him by the Sanitary Inspector, in order to remove to the dust boats the dust, dirt, ashes and refuse from the public dust bins, and from the dust boxes of private tenements.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language. constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, wil} be published and sold separately.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

AT THE COURT AT OSBORNE HOUSE, ISLE OF WIGHT,

The 20th day of April, 1883.

PRESENT,

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the Merchant Shipping Act Amendment Act, 1862, it is enacted that "whenever "it is made to appear to Her Majesty that the Rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of "Merchant Ships for the time being in force under the principal Act have been adopted by the "Government of any Foreign Country, and are in force in that Country, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty by Order in Council to direct that the ships of such Foreign Country shall be deemed to be "of the Tonnage denoted in their Certificates of Registry, or other national papers; and thereupon it "shall no longer be necessary for such ships to be remeasured in any port or place in Her Majesty's "Dominions, but such ships shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their Certificates of Registry or other papers, in the same manner, to the same extent, and for the same purposes, in, to, "and for which the tonnage denoted in the Certificates of Registry of British Ships is to be deemed the

tonnage of such ships.'

And whereas by the Merchant Shipping Act, 1876, it is enacted that "where Her Majesty has 'power under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, or any Act passed or hereafter to be passed amending "the same, to make an Order in Council, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty from time to time to make "such Order in Council, and by Order in Council to revoke, alter, or add to, any Order so made."

And whereas by Order in Council dated the 29th day of February, 1868, Her Majesty, to whom it was made to appear that the Rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of Merchant Ships now in force under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, had been adopted by the Government of His Majesty the King of Denmark, and were in force in that Country, was pleased to direct that the Ships of Denmark the Certificates of Danish Nationality and Registry of which were dated on or after the 1st day of October, 1867, should be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in the said Certificates of Danish nationality and Registry.

And whereas certain modifications were subsequently made in the said Rules concerning the measurement of tonnage of Merchant Ships in Denmark, whereby from and after the 1st day of October, 1878, the allowance for Engine Room in certain steam ships would be estimated in a mode differing from that in force in this country; and it was made to appear to Her Majesty that it was desirable to alter the said first recited Order in Council so far as the same applied or related to the mode of estimating the allowance for engine room in Danish Steam Ships:

And whereas Her Majesty by Order in Council dated the 30th day of December 1878 was pleased to direct as regards Danish Steamships that if the Owner or Master of any Danish Steamship measured after the said 1st day of October 1878 desires the allowance for Engine Room in his ship to be estimated under the British instead of under the Danish Rules, such Engine Room shall be measured, and the allowance calculated according to the British Rules.

And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty that it is expedient that certain additions should be made to the provisions of the said last recited Order in Council in regard to the mode of estimating the net registered tonnage of certain Danish steamships.

NOW THEREFORE, Her Majesty in virtue of the powers vested in Her by the said recited Acts, and by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, is further pleased to direct as follows, viz. that in the event of the net registered tonnage of Merchant Ships belonging to the said Kingdom of Denmark, which are propelled by steam or any other power requiring Engine Room estimated under the British Rules being denoted in the said Certificates of Danish Nationality and Registry issued on or after the 1st day of September, 1882, such ships shall be deemed to be of the tonnage so denoted in the said. Certificates.

GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.—No. 255.

VOL. XXIX.

The following Annual Report of the Colonial Surgeon, with Returns annexed, for the Year 1882, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 21st July, 1883.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 21st May, 1883.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward my Annual Report for 1882, together with the Tables shewing the work done in the different Establishments under my supervision and charge; also reports from the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital and the Government Analyst of the work done by them.

POLICE.

2. There has been a considerable increase in the number of admissions to Hospital from the Force this year as compared with last, the number being 549 as compared with 498 in 1881.

3. The last five years compare unfavourably with the previous four years, all of them being much in excess, though the numerical strength of the Force appears to have decreased to a considerable extent. In 1874 the average strength of the Force was 648, and the admissions to Hospital 346; this year the average strength is 588, and the admissions to Hospital 549.

4. There were eight deaths in the Force this year, three only of these occurred in Hospital, two Indians and one Chinaman. Police Constable ANDERSON was killed while on duty at a fire. Four Lokangs died while absent from duty or on leave.

5. Table I shews the number of admissions from the Police to the Hospital for each month of the year. Table II shews the average strength of the Force, and the percentage of sickness and deaths in it.

6. These tables show only the number of sick admitted to Hospital. Inspectors, married men, and those living out of Barracks are in many cases attended by myself in their quarters, and if necessary remain off duty under medical certificate, so that the real amount of sickness amongst the Police is somewhat more than is shown by these tables, and is difficult to estimate.

7. Admission to Hospital does not imply serious sickness, as many cases are only detained a day or two, and would not be so detained but that it is inconvenient for men messing in Barracks to obtain other dietary than that supplied by the mess, nor could they be depended upon to obey the directions given them in this respect. Therefore it is better for them and for the service that they should remain in Hospital for a few days than that they should run the risk of turning a trifling complaint into a severe one. am often obliged to send married men in for these reasons, oftener because their quarters are in such an unwholesome atmosphere as to render their chances of a speedy recovery very small.

8. Table III shews the Police admissions to Hospital from the different Districts and Stations. Some of the Police Stations are of the worst possible description as regards construction and location, notably Nos. 3, 4, 7, 8. Nos 3 and 7 have no excuse, as they have plenty of ground and are in good positions, but Nos. 4 and 8 are as badly constructed as they well can be, and their situation, hemmed in as they are, precludes any chance of making them any better. None of the Stations within the city of Victoria, from the Central Station downwards, can be commended in a sanitary point of view either in construction or convenience, and they are nearly all overcrowded.

9. The Police Hulk has long been condemned as worthless on sanitary grounds, besides being rotten and unsafe.

638

THE HONGKONG GÖVE GAZETTE, SUPPLEMENT, 21st JULY, 1883.

10. Whitfield Station, which is one of the best constructed Stations and well situated, has up to the last two years been one of the healthiest in the Colony, but in those two years it has furnished the worst type of fever cases we have had in Hospital, owing to the new Harbour of Refuge lately constructed having been permitted to become a permanent camping ground for junks, and a filthy lot of mat huts and piggeries having been constructed in its vicinity. From these junks and huts so much offal, &c., is thrown into the Refuge Harbour that the tide is unable to wash it away, and the Harbour has become permanently foul, the stench arising from it being at times insufferable.

11. Aberdeen, which used to be the most unhealthy of all the Stations, has much improved of late years. Though there has been little sickness comparatively, the situation of the Lokangs' quarters is anything but prepossessing.

12. In addition to the ordinary demand for the accommodation of the Police, there has been a great increase of married members in the Force. It used to be the exception for married men to be sent out from home, in the last batches a considerable portion of the men were married and brought their wives with them.

13. But neither to the construction of the Stations, their situation, or overcrowding can the increase in the amount of sickness in the Force be entirely attributed, as the Stations are the same as they were in 1874, and the number of men to be accommodated less, though some of the Stations have been rendered unhealthy by causes which have arisen since the before-mentioned year; still others have been much improved. I think therefore it may be inferred that the increased hours of duty have something considerable to answer for, more especially as the increased ill health is pretty equally distributed in the different portions of the Force as regards their strength.

19. In 1874 the Colonel of Engineers informed me that, having quoted my reports on the sanitation of the Colony, a grant had been made by the War Office of a large sum to improve the drainage and sanitation of the Barracks, and to what was then done he afterwards attributed the improved health of the Troops in the two following years. Since 1876 the health of the Troops has apparently been going from bad to worse, until it reached the highest number of admissions to Hospital in the past nine years in 1881.

20. It would be interesting to know to what cause this is attributed, for the information furnished in Mr. CHADWICK's report of the sanitary arrangements in the Barracks does not sufficiently account for the sick list being nearly doubled between 1876 and 1881. Nor can it I presume be all laid down to inefficient working of the Contagious Diseases Ordinance.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

21. In my last Annual Report I referred to the condition of the buildings at present occupied by this particular Establishment. As I described them then so they remain at present, but we have now brighter hopes of a speedy improvement in the state of things that has been so long grumbled at. The Superintendent in his report refers to his Annual Report for 1878 on the same subject. I wrote a special report on these buildings dated April 10th, 1879, also a special report on the proposed plans for the new Hospitals dated September 20th, 1880, which will be found attached to C.S.O 2352 of that year, when the whole subject was discussed.

22. There is nothing new to be stated about the buildings at present in use as a Hospital, we can only wait and hope the promised improvements will not be long delayed. The subject of a Govern- ment Civil Hospital has been under discussion for fifteen years, the Colony never having as yet possessed a Hospital, but only makeshifts pending this discussion. The first building occupied as a Hospital was a most inefficient old Mission House which was blown down in the Typhoon of September 1874; the next building used for the purpose, (an unoccupied Hotel) was a decided improvement, but that was burnt down in the great fire, December, 1878.

23. The admissions during the past year have been more numerous than ever before. The following `table will shew the number and position of the patients admitted during the past two years.

24. The admissions from the Police shew an increase of 51 compared with 1881. Government Servants an increase of 21. This represents a considerable loss in money and services to the Colony. Police Cases and Destitutes have more than doubled their numbers since 1880, when their numbers were 101 and 107 respectively, these also represent incumbrances and loss to the Colony. Against these may be placed the Board of Trade and private paying Patients who a little more than pay their expenses.

25. In 1881 the influx of European loafers and Chinese beggars reached its present height. The European loafer is a terrible nuisance. Left on the beach without money or clothes, he wanders about the streets and sleeps on the hill sides, plenty of good natured people give him drink, but he gets very little food, a short time of this lands him either in the Hospital as a destitute or a Police Case, or in the Gaol as a vagabond. Dismissed from either, he has only the streets to go to, and soon turns up in one or other establishments again, the Hospital for choice. He cannot get work (though he does not exert himself much in trying) because he soon becomes well known in the Colony. There is great difficulty for him in getting away from the place, for there are always plenty of applicants of better character for berths on board ship, and if he knows nothing of sea-going work his chance of getting away at all is very poor, and depends entirely on the efforts of the charitable of the Community. So there are a number now in the Colony who have for years been taking alternate spells in the streets, Hospital, and Gaol, and it is perfectly astonishing how well they wear under the circumstances. With the Chinese beggars the life is similar, with the difference that they go to the Tung Wa Hospital instead of to the Government Civil Hospital.

THE HONGKONG GOVT. GAZETTE, SUPPLEMENT, 21ST JULY, 1883.

26. Table V shews the character of the diseases in patients admitted to Hospital during the past year, as usual-Fevers, Bowel, and Chest complaints have their usual prominence in the list. But an unusual increase is shown in the large number of contusions, wounds, and fractures in this year.

27. Table VI shews the rate of mortality in the Hospital for the past ten years, which rate is very small for a General Hospital..

28. Table VII shews the admissions and deaths in each month of the year, the Summer months May, June, July and August bringing the greatest number.

29. Table VIII shews the number of dead bodies brought to Hospital for examination, which is much in excess of the numbers in former years, which up to 1881 were seldom much over the hundred, and are now 198, of which seventy-eight were bodies of infants, and this is another result of the influx of beggars from Canton, some of whom are dreadful spectacles in the way of disease.

30. Of the six classes of patients admitted to the Government Civil Hospital the increasing numbers of two classes only are at all satisfactory, those sent in by the Board of Trade, and the paying patients. The increase in admission of Police and Government Servants is the most unsatisfactory of all while the slightest suspicion remains that unwholesome overcrowded quarters and residences have anything to say in the matter. That any man earning, from forty to sixty dollars a month or even less should be hard put to it to find himself a decent habitation in a Colony like this is nothing short of a scandal, and here hundreds of Europeans are compelled to live in the most unwholesomely constructed houses, that no one can keep clean with the best intentions, and that no fresh air ever enters. The Police Cases and Destitutes in increasing numbers are no credit to the Colony either.

34. There is however a considerable increase in the number of sick admitted to the Gaol Hospital, being 356 as compared with 297 in 1881. In 1874 there were only 148 admitted, and I reported in that year the very limited accommodation there was in the Gaol Hospital for the sick. As it has never been increased it now causes very serious difficulty at times. The great increase in the amount of sickness is easily accounted for in the very different type of prisoners received of late years, formerly the majority of them were sturdy rogues, now the great majority are miserable weakly wretches of the beggar class referred to as increasing the numbers of Destitutes and Police Cases in the Civil Hospital, of whom such numbers have of late years made their appearance in the Colony. Amongst the European prisoners there were few except prisoners sent in by the Army and Navy Court Martials, now there is a regular gang of loafers who are continually appearing again and again for vagabondage, drunkenness and similar small offences.

35. Table IX shews the causes of admission to the Gaol Hospital. Table X, cases treated in the Cells. Beside these, endless petty complaints not recorded, together with malingerers, are brought up every morning for examination, or to be passed for punishment, averaging about fifty daily.

36. There were seven deaths in the Gaol this year, exclusive of one European suicide and one Indian executed. Four of these were taken into the Hospital immediately on admission to the Gaol, two of them died within twenty-four hours, all the seven deaths were among the Chinese prisoners.

37. Table XI B shews the number and nature of the cases sent at once to the Gaol Hospital when brought in from the Courts.

38. Table XI C gives a list of the opium smokers received into the Gaol and reporting themselves as consumers of one mace and upwards of opium daily. It gives their age, number of years they have contracted the habit, their consumption of opium per diem, weight on admission, and for the four following weeks, if detained so long. None of them were ever permitted to have opium in those who were sick were treated on the merits of their cases, and some were in a terrible condition of any form, disease. There have been no deaths among them, and I have not found any cases of disease among them that could be attributed to their indulgence in the habit of opium smoking.

39. As near as I can make out 110 lbs. is about the average weight among ordinary Chinese prisoners of all classes received into Gaol, if any thing I think this average is rather above than below the mark. Taking picked men of the largest size and well developed as regards muscle, it is rare to see the scales turned above 130 lbs. The opium smoker is of all classes, the greatest smokers are men who can afford the expense, and are generally more fat than muscular, but I cannot find that opium smoking causes emaciation in any way. In judging from the reduction in weight in this table, the change of diet on entering Gaol must be taken into consideration, and none of these men were excused from the regular dietary scale without good and sufficient reason other than that of opium smoking; as a matter of fact very few were excused at all, or had their labour reduced. Nearly all of them had to undergo penal diet, that is to say, in the month their weights were taken they did two spells of five days each on rice and water only, as every prisoner has to do every month under six months' imprisonment. Under these conditions it would have been thought that all would have lost flesh, but curiously enough that is not so, even in the cases of those who it might be supposed from their weight were accustomed to better food outside, so that loss of weight cannot be put down to deprivation of opium.

40. The heaviest smoker was the fourth on the list, his daily consumption being 15 mace or 150 grains, he had been an opium smoker for 30 years, he comes into Gaol weighing 107 lbs., does not loose weight at all, but in three weeks rises to 110 lbs., at the end of the fourth week weighing the same. 41. It appears to me that the opium smoker suffers much less from the enforced deprivation of the accustomed luxury at once than the tobacco smoker. Many of them make no complaint at all, there is no particular symptom caused by the deprivation, which is common to all. There is certainly no loss of sleep to any extent, for I have had many of them specially watched. ments made by the Anti-opium League, they ought to have suffered tortures, but then it is the custom Yet according to state- of the Anti-opium League to repeat and believe all the yarns they hear, and not take very much trouble about verifying them. Physicians of Hospitals at home are easily misled by patients, where the watching is at any rate much better than in any Hospital in China, and yet to read the accounts by the Physicians themselves of how they have been imposed upon for a considerable time by patients is quite sufficient to shew how easily an old opium smoker could bamboozle a Physician in a China Hospital. In the Gaol it can also be done, but it is not so easy where they are watched day and night by European Warders. And this is the only Gaol in China that affords such facilities for watching such a number of opium smokers.

42. I am still of opinion that there are few subjects concerning which so much nonsense has been talked, or so many false impressions been disseminated as about opium smoking, which from all I can gather seems in itself a most harmless practice. I am not talking about the money squandered or families impoverished by the luxury indulged in by the bread winner. gin drinker, but no one can say that the gin has no evil effect as a poison itself on the gin drinker. I The same may be said of the contend that opium smoking has no effect whatever on the opium smoker. Here we have given forr

642 THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE, SUPPLEMENT, 21ST JULY, 1883.

different preparations of opium to old opium smokers. First, opium as prepared by the opium farmer, which contains 7 per cent. of morphia; secondly, the opium farmer's prepared opium with 10 per cent. of morphia added; thirdly, similar prepared opium with 20 per cent. of morphia added; fourthly, the opium farmer's prepared opium deprived of its morphia. Now the opium smoker states that the first and third are "good," that with the morphia extracted "fairly good but not so good as the first and third." Number two with the 10 per cent. of morphia added is said to be "not very good." Now the opium smoker cannot detect any difference between the farmer's prepared opium containing 7 per cent. of morphia, and the same with 20 per cent. of morphia added, nor does he detect much difference between those two and opium with all the morphia extracted. That is to say he hardly recognises any difference between 25 per cent. of morphia in the drug and none at all, and does not recognise any difference at all between 7 per cent. of morphia and 25 per cent., which he certainly would do if he ate it. In fact the great principle of the opium, morphia, in smoking seems to vanish, certainly it in no way affects the smokers.

43. Now, I have had opium eaters under my care in Gaols in India and Assam, and among Khalassic crews on board ship, and if they had been deprived of their opium as the opium smokers have been the consequences would have been serious.

44. I can also speak from personal experience. I have eaten opium till I could consume half an ounce daily, and I can understand the fascination of that habit, and fully appreciate the difficulty of leaving it off. I have myself smoked three mace of the opium farmer's prepared opium within an hour without the slightest effect. I have watched other Europeans do the same, as they admitted to their astonishment, with no effect either. I counted their pulses and took their temperature, neither of which were altered by smoking in the slightest degree.

45. Three mace is equivalent to twelve pipes, and a pipe every five minutes is certainly more than a smoker would get through had he to load for himself. The actual smoking is but three long inhalations to each pipe, but the loading takes time. An old opium smoker always prepared our pipes for us, and watched that they were fairly and properly smoked.

46. No opium smoker among the Chinese smokes with the idea of procuring sleep; being naturally tired he may take a pipe or two before going to sleep, but with no intention of helping him to sleep.

47. An opium smoker visits a friend who offers him a pipe, and they lie smoking and chatting between the pipes for hours, just as a European offers wine to a friend. The Chinaman does not expect his visitor to go off to sleep and snore like a hog, any more than the European expects his friend to get drunk and make a beast of himself.

48. That it is costly and expensive as a habit there is no denial, and in order to procure this luxury, unless a well to do man, the Chinaman must deprive himself and his family of many comforts and necessaries. A consumption of 15 mace a day means an expenditure of $1.20 daily, or $438.00 a year, say £80. One mace or eight cents worth of opium daily is equal (allowing 30 days to the month) to $3.40, a pretty hole in the income of a man who earns say six dollars a month, and many smoke that amount who earn a good deal less than six dollars a month.

49. So far, what I have said concerning opium smoking in my reports has dealt with facts and figures known to myself to be correct, I have given nothing on hearsay. A man of the western races who would take to such a habit as opium smoking must be a miserable object, a habit that requires you to muddle away more than an hour loading a pipe in order to get five minutes' smoke, for each pipe, takes about five minutes to load, and less than thirty seconds to smoke. One can understand a tobacco pipe that will last half an hour, take only a few seconds to load, and will allow you to read, write and do a hundred other things at the same time; at least I can, being a smoker myself, but the opium smoker is a complete puzzle to me to find out what pleasure he derives from the habit, all I can see in it is a waste of time and money.

TEMPORARY LUNATIC ASYLUM.

50. This is still in the wretched buildings before described in my previous Annual Reports, which in the event of any atmospheric disturbance not amounting to a Typhoon requires the removal of the patients for their safety to the Police Cells.

51. The number admitted last year was eight, seven were discharged, some relieved, some sent to their native places. One woman remains. There were no deaths.

TUNG WA HOSPITAL.

52. The total number of patients admitted to the Chinese Hospital during the year was 1,434, as compared with 1,292 in 1881; among these 628 died as compared with 569 in 1881. The number of out patients treated was 67,158 as compared with 79,845 in 1881.

53. Chinese rarely enter a Hospital unless they are so ill as to be unable to work to support them- selves, or are in the last extremity of disease, having a great dislike to any restraint upon their freedom of action; it is this that accounts for the large percentage of deaths in this institution.

THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE, SUPPLEMENT, 21ST JULY, 1883.

643

54. As I have mentioned before in previous reports, this Hospital has taken the place of a number of Dying Houses as they were called, which in former times existed in different parts of the Town. To these houses it was the custom to carry all persons in a moribund condition, or when death was speedily expected. The keeper of these houses supplied all cases that were brought with water to quench their thirst, but relieved their necessities in no other way; if the friends brought no food or gave them no attention they got nothing more till they died.

55. The reason for the existence of these houses was the dislike of the Chinese to have a death occurring in their dwelling houses. I have been called in to see a Chinese merchant who was estimated as being worth from 150,000 to 200,000 dollars, who was in a moribund condition, lying on a cane lounge chair in the back yard of his house, his friends keeping carefully away. His case was hopeless, and he died shortly after my visit. Here was a man of wealth turned out into his own back yard to die in order that he might not contaminate his own house.

56. This objection to a death in the house being so strong even in the wealthy, it is not to be wondered at that among the poorer class, who live many families in one room, and who are comparative strangers to one another, the objection to a dead body on the premises should be even stronger.

57. There is for a long time among the Chinese prisoners in Victoria Gaol a great horror of being confined in a cell in which another prisoner has died.

58. The number of out patients that attend the Tung-Wa Hospital during the year is sufficient evidence of its popularity among the Chinese.

59. The number of cases of Small Pox admitted during the year to this Hospital was 10, of these 3 died, 6 were discharged, and one remained in Hospital.

60. The number of vaccinations performed by the Native Doctors in the City of Victoria and the villages of Hongkong was 1,763. These vaccinations are efficiently and carefully performed on European principles, and tubes of lymph are taken from well selected healthy children. This is one of the greatest benefits this Hospital confers upon the community of Hongkong.

TEMPORARY LOCK HOSPITAL.

61. The building occupied by this Establishment is still the ruinous old school-house mentioned in my Annual Report for 1880, which is fast becoming unequal to the accommodation required, owing to the strictness with which the Contagious Diseases Ordinance is now being enforced, and the numerous arrests of sly brothels that have lately taken place, a very large proportion of the women in these places on examination being found diseased.

62. The number of admissions to this Hospital this year was 99 as compared with 44 in 1881, the majority of the admissions were in the latter part of the year, the prosecutions of the sly brothels not having begun till late in the year. The average number of days detention of any single case in Hospital was 102 days.

63. Table XV A shews the number of admissions to Hospital, number of diets issued, and average number of days' detention for the past twenty-one years. The daily average number of women in Hospital this year was 5.

64. Table B gives the return of the number of women brought under the provisions of the Ordi- The total number of examinations made was 10,343, the total number of women brought under the provisions of the Ordinance was 230. The number proceeded against 25.

nance.

65. Since the begining of the Commission on the Contagious Diseases Ordinance in 1878 there have been no prosecutions of sly brothels until this year. The state of things resulting from this want of action on the part of the Government I animadverted on in my Annual Report for 1881, and the Chinese themselves petitioned Government last year against a continuance of this inaction.

66. Table E is the return of the admissions into the Military, Naval, Police and Civil Hospitals of patients suffering from venereal diseases. The number of admissions to the Military Hospital was 138. Of this number one case was not contracted in Hongkong. The admissions are nearly the same as in 1881, when the number was 136.

67. The number of admissions to the Naval Hospital was 168, of these 58 cases were not contracted in Hongkong. In 1881 there were admitted 245, of which 115 cases were not contracted in Hongkong. 68. The number of Police cases admitted to Hospital were 40 as compared with 37 in 1881.

69. The number of cases admitted to the Civil Hospital was 124, of which 58 cases were not contracted in Hongkong. The number of cases admitted in 1881 was 96, of these 50 were not contracted in Hongkong.

70. There were only two cases of Secondary Syphilis among the 99 women admitted to the Lock Hospital this year; this shews that the type of venereal disease among them was very mild.

71. The number of admissions to the Naval Hospital of patients suffering from Secondary Syphilis was 25, of these, 5 cases were contracted in Hongkong. Thus of the 110 cases of venereal disease contracted in Hongkong only 5 shew symptoms of constitutional disease, so that for the most part the form of disease contracted by the seamen in this port was of the mildest type.

644

THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE, SUPPLEMENT. 21ST JULY. 1883.

72. The number of admissions to the Military Hospital of patients suffering from Secondary Syphilis was 16, compared with 21 in 1881. Here 16 contracted constitutional disease, a very unsatisfactory number as considering the percentage to the number admitted.

73. Among the Police 12 contracted Secondary Syphilis out of the 40 cases admitted to Hospital. The percentage here is still worse than among the Military, but many admitted they contracted the disease from unlicensed prostitutes.

74. Among the cases admitted to the Civil Hospital there were 45 suffering from Secondary Syphilis out of 124. Here also the percentage is very unsatisfactory, but it is not known to me how many of these cases were contracted in Hongkong.

75. In the Military, Naval, Police and Civil Hospitals it is customary to make inquiries as to where and when the disease was contracted, and if possible, when the disease has been contracted in Hongkong, to get the men to point out the house where, and the woman from whom it was contracted. Many registered women have been thus pointed out, but it is very rare to find one of the accused suffering from disease. As a matter of fact the men are rarely intimately acquainted with the town, are more than half seas over when on leave, and do not know where or with whom they have been. In most cases it is more than probable they have been picked up by women on the street, hill side, or on boats, who are unregistered. The examination the registered women undergo is most thorough, and it is impossible they should escape if diseased. Many of the Army and Naval Medical Officers have attended the inspections and satisfied themselves on this point; some of them have examined women pointed out by the men under their charge as having diseased them, and have satisfied them- selves that the woman has been free from disease. With the rapid reduction in the sly brothels it is to be hoped that the future will bring cleaner bills of health, but it will take a considerable time and a great deal of trouble to sweep away the unlicensed houses that have arisen during the late period of inaction. Of 41 women summoned last year only 25 were convicted, the utmost care and circumspec- tion has to be used in conducting these cases. The commission did great good in exposing the abuses that had arisen in regard to prosecutions under the Contagious Diseases Ordinances.

HEALTH OF THE COLONY AND SANITATION.

76. The number of deaths among Europeans was 55 as compared with 64 in 1881. The percentage to the number of residents was 1.80, the lowest percentage of deaths in the last ten years.

77. The rainfall last year was 73.13 inches, the total number of days on which it rained 121. May, June, July, and August were the months in which most rain fell, 60 inches out of the 73 falling in those months. This is the smallest rainfall in any one year since 1874.

78. This year the Report of Mr. CHADWICK, the Sanitary Commissioner sent out from England to report on the sanitary condition of Hongkong, has been received in the form of a Blue Book, and fully confirms all I have said in my reports from 1874 till now, and proves that if I have appeared to act the part of an alarmist it has not been without good and sufficient grounds. It can only be with regret that any Colonist can look back on the past nine years that have been wasted, and the many great and valuable opportunities afforded for improved sanitation that in the last five years have not only been thrown away, but absolutely availed of to increase the number and size of the unwholesome dwellings so graphically described in Mr. CHADWICK'S report.

79. In the report he begins by a general description of Hongkong, in which he states that, “like "the Europeans, few of the Chinese are permanent settlers, but only residents coming to Hongkong to "avail themselves of the facilities offered by British rule for earning money with which they propose "to return to their own country to end their days amongst their own people." Seeing the benefit that it is acknowledged they receive from British rule, is it too much to expect that they should be required to conform to British laws, instead of the British laws, against the interest of the British people, being made to conform to Chinese ideas? They do not come here with philanthropic ideas of benefitting the Colony any more than the Europeans, but with the same desire of realising a competence and clearing out as soon as possible. One would think, to hear the sympathy that has been wasted on the native population, that we had come here as conquerors of a populous place, instead of having converted a barren island into a prosperous Colony, in which every resident of every nationality is more or less a bird of passage, from the wealthiest merchant whether European or Chinese to the poorest coolie. It ought not therefore to be permissible for one section or the other of the community to convert the Colony into a pest-house for the purpose of realising possession of the Almighty Dollar more speedily than legitimately.

80. Mr. CHADWICK, after describing the ordinary Chinese houses of Hongkong writes. "A moment's "consideration of the samples of the Chinese Dwellings which I have given -examples not "selected for badness, but fairly representative--will show that overcrowding exists to a very "serious extent, both as to the number of inhabitants within a given cubic space, and as to the "provision of proper proportion of open space for light and ventilation, and for giving free access to the building. Other sanitary defects are equally apparent. The type of house in Hongkong is "quite different to that in use on the neighbouring mainland, and I am certain that the lower class population is more densely packed together in Hongkong, and worse provided with appliances for "cleanliness than they are in Canton."

THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE, SUPPLEMENT, 21ST JULY, 1883. 645

81. Now what has been argued of late years is that the unwholesome style of building in Hongkong is peculiar to the Chinese, and therefore, though bad enough as one storied buildings, they have been permitted to make them three and four storied, and even then to subdivide each storey by cock lofts. For whose sake? Not for the sakes of the Chinese population, but for the sake of a set of gamblers in House property. The overcrowding has been represented as showing the prosperity of the Colony, when it is a well known fact that crowds were procured by the speculators to fill these houses free of rent, in order that they might represent them to purchasers as being tenanted, and to this as much as anything we owe such an increase of the population living from hand to mouth as has appeared in the last few years, and the consequent overcrowding. In 1874, the houses that were more than two stories high could be easily counted. Now it would be much easier to reckon up those that are not more than two stories high.

"With all this overcrowding, and consequent dirt and discomfort, it is strange to find that, on the east of the town particularly, there are several large lots unbuilt on, and it is surprising to learn that "time has elapsed during which the lessees were bound to build on them according to their leases, "and yet the penalty of forfeiture provided by law has not been enforced." Thus writes Mr. CHADWICK, but then the Chinese do not care for the east part of the town, and small European houses are not such profitable properties as the unwholesome buildings in which Chinese are compelled to live, and now hundreds of Europeans also. These, once run up as described by Mr. CHADWICK, never get any repairs worth mentioning, however much they may be required. For a description of their drainage and general sanitation the following, copied from the above mentioned report, is sufficiently graphic. "Of late "years the Government have made the connection to the main sewer and constructed the house drain "up to the front wall of the house. The remainder of the drain has been left to the uncontrolled "intelligence of the Chinese builders. No care whatsoever is taken as to line, gradient, or work- "manship."

The

Sheet

"In February last (1882) a new drain was being constructed in the following manner. "sides were of brick on edge, and did not rest on the tile which formed the sole. See Fig. 39, "IX.

Under these circumstances it need hardly be said that a great proportion of house drains are "but elongated cesspools, the greater part of their fluid contents filtering into the subsoil. In one "case a drain was found having no bottom but the natural soil."

"Instances are to be found where the outer wall of one property is built so close to that of the "adjacent house as to leave an inaccessible space between them which serves as an open drain. In "one case the space between two houses was but 8 inches wide, and it received the filth from windows "of cook houses looking into it (Cleverly Street)."

Something similar was found in José Lane, opening from Ladder Street. As the arrangement "of the houses is characteristic, it is shown in Fig. 44, Sheet X. Here a drain certainly went down into "the gully, but what became of it afterwards could not be discovered."

"The slops from the upper cook houses are conducted down by a pipe of rough earthenware coated "with plaster. Frequently this is inside the house, in which case it delivers its flow into the floor of "the cook house below, as in the case of the house shown in Figs. 1, 3, Sheet I.”

"At other times it is put outside the house. As the upstairs lodgers have no convenience for "getting rid of rubbish, much is stuffed into the down pipe, choking it, causing it to leak and saturate "the walls with filthy fluid, oozing from its imperfect joints. For the same reason the house drain "also is frequently obstructed."

82. These, among the numerous other defects in these buildings are what for years the Surveyor General and myself have been protesting against, and which in defiance of our protests Chinese petitioners have received sanction from Government to perpetuate.

83. Mr. CHADWICK further says, regarding the health of the Chinese, "Many experienced medical men who have practised in China have recorded the opinion that typhoid fever is almost unknown "there. It would appear that some have concluded from this that the filth and stinks with which the "Chinese surround themselves are not only harmless, but even beneficial; that they have discovered "the true art of living, and that they should be allowed to do in Hongkong as they do in the City of "Kowloon and elsewhere in their own country.'

"It will therefore be well to examine the evidence on which these conclusions are based, and to see whether, according to the scanty statistics available, the Chinese are so healthy a race that it "would be presumptuous for westerns to interfere with their time-honoured stinks."

"With regard to the absence of certain diseases, with due deference to the experienced men who "attest this fact, it must be observed that their evidence is not quite complete. On the mainland no "vital statistics are kept, and by far the greater majority die without consulting an European Physician. Even in Hongkong the greater number of deaths are registered by Chinese Doctors, who with very "few exceptions (those trained in England) do not distinguish these diseases from others similar in "their general characteristics. Other medical men, while admitting the rarity of true typhoid fever, "assert that malignant fevers, apparently filth fevers, are but too common (Dr. DUDGEON of Pekin, "in his paper on the habits of Chinese in China, between 1880 and 1883) so this form of filth disease

is not unknown."

Fevers.

646 THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE, SUPPLEMENT, 21ST JULY, 1883.

"Even assuming the absence of certain forms of disease, and a comparative immunity from epidemics, there is no ground for the assertion that the violation of the laws of health is not punished, "in China as elsewhere, with a general lowering of vital condition, and not only by intermittent

scourges of epidemic disease."

"It is stated that hitherto Hongkong has escaped the epidemics which have affected other places "in the neighbourhood. The settlement is but 40 years old, and the subsoil beneath the city may not "yet be sufficiently saturated with filth to make it a hot bed for disease and a breeding ground of filth poison. It is somewhat premature to assume that this happy immunity will always continue, for "the process of saturation is slowly but surely going on, and if unchecked cannot fail to bring forth "abundant fruit in the form of misery and disease."

84. Concerning the amount of Typhoid or Enteric Fever that occurs among the Chinese in China I know little. That it is well known and recognised by medical men in some of the European settlements is proved by their reports. That it is well known here is also proved by the deaths registered among Europeans. That it is to be easily acquired I have proved in my own person, as, after my inspections of the Chinese quarters of Victoria in 1875, I was seized with a very severe attack of this disease and was delirious for eighteen days. In my report for 1881, I gave a table of the death rates among Europeans and Chinese, as registered here, from causes which may arise from filth poison, pointing out that in these diseases there are many characteristics which may cause Chinese native doctors to confuse one with another. I now give the table of the death rate from these diseases as registered for the past ten years, from which it will be seen that in the last six years there has been a considerable increase in deaths from these causes.

85. That this class of cases should be steadily increasing year after year is proof enough that there is something radically wrong somewhere, and Mr. CHADWICK'S and my own reports of the state of the Chinese houses in this city give sufficient evidence that there is every reason to believe much of it is caused by the foul and unwholesome state of these dwellings.

86. This year we have had cholera epidemics carrying off thousands in Japan and Manila, which are both within a week's journey of us. That we have escaped, considering the amount of traffic passing from these countries through this port, is something for the Colonists to be thankful for, but not to crow about, for we have done nothing to deserve such fortune.

87. Table XVI shews the rate of mortality among the Foreign residents in Hongkong. The percentage to the population is less than any previous year in the preceeding time.

88. Table XVII shews the work done by the Inspectors of Nuisances. Now that a cleanliness amendment Ordinance has been passed, and a board appointed with a fair staff of officers to look after the sanitation of the Colony, it is to be hoped that in future years we may have to record an improved state of things. It has been a hard fight for the Surveyor General and myself for many years to prove that the state of things so well described in Mr. CHADWICK's report existed at all except in our imaginations, and it was not until he was sent out as Sanitary Commissioner and sent in his report

THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE, SUPPLEMENT, 21ST JULY, 1883. 647

that we were thought anything but alarmists, exaggerating greatly what we have described to exist in the way of overcrowding, filth, and general uncleanliness in quarters of the town seldom visited by Europeans. I have made these long extracts from Mr. CHADWICK's report because his opinions are not generally known, few people having sufficient interest to read, even if they had the chance, this voluminous Blue Book. That the Chinese are as anxious as any one for decency, cleanliness, and order is sufficiently well proved by the articles that have appeared in the native papers. The courtesy and good will with which we were received when visiting houses in the poorest quarters of the city, when I accompanied Mr. CHADWICK in his inspections, surprised him greatly; while making enquiries of the residents we were invariably offered seats, and frequently tea. Such enquiries as we made would have received but scant courtesy among the poorer class of Europeans at home, even if we got off without insult and injury.

89. Mr. MCCALLUM furnishes a very interesting report of the analyses made this year. It is something to know that the water supply from Pokfulum is good, but it needs to be well filtered. I think it is much improved by being well boiled before filtering. The milk analysis is not satisfactory. Not only is it largely diluted with water, but it is very doubtful where the water is obtained, and the knowledge that numerous wells exist in the Colony, more or less polluted, and easy of access, does not allow the comfort of thinking that this mode of cheating is less injurious to our systems than our pockets.

90. Among the poison analyses the cases of drugging by Datura have cropped up very largely of late. One man was brought into the Gaol suffering from the effects of this drug. The prisoners in one case, after sentence, said that the Datura was the drug used, which grows freely in Hongkong, but they got the plant from the native herbalists, that they used Jasmine in the decoction they made, which moderated the symptoms of Datura poisoning and rendered the patient less noisy, though it increased the danger to life, and must be used very sparingly and with care. They also stated that a decoction of liquorice root well sweetened with coarse brown Chinese sugar was an antidote, and that if this was mixed with the decoction of Datura it destroyed its efficacy. This no doubt is only a popular delusion. The effects of Datura are well known all over the East. It is very commonly used in India for drugging in the same way as here, it produces an appearance of intoxication, and this effect is produced very rapidly and takes a long time to wear off, generally at least twenty-four hours. In the first stage the patient is talkative and merry, performing all sorts of odd antics; as the effects progress it causes profound sleep, and if used in a poisonous dose, coma and death. As the sleepiness passes off the delirium and antics occur again. The pupil of the eye is always largely dilated, and this symptom remains long `after all others have disappeared. In India it is also used to produce an appearance of insanity, the patient being kept under the influence of the drug for weeks and months.

Colonial Secretary.

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.

HONGKONG, 24th March, 1883.

SIR,-I have the honour to forward the Hospital Statistics for the year 1882, with some remarks upon them.

2. I was absent on leave for the first nine months, and I am therefore not in a position to make a complete report of the working of the Hospital for the year.

3. The work was carried on in the makeshift establishment occupying the buildings at West Point known as the old Lock Hospital and the new Lock Hospital, neither of them deserving the name of Hospital at all.

4. In my annual report for the year 1878 I enumerated the defects of the first mentioned building, and in 1880 I drew attention to the defects of the latter, then just erected. I need not therefore now dwell upon the structural shortcomings of the establishment, but it is only right to mention them in passing, as they add materially to the difficulty of carrying on the Hospital work.

5. The number of cases on the Hospital Register for 1882 is 1,543, 85 of which were treated in the surgery and dismissed. These 85 comprised superficial wounds and contusions, with 5 cases of dog bite, 2 of gunshot wounds, &c.

6. There were thus 1,458 patients treated in Hospital during the year, including 44 who remained in Hospital on the 1st January, 1882. Of this number 549 were Police, and the remaining 909 were made up of seamen, private residents, destitutes, prisoners, members of the Chinese Revenue and Customs Services, and officers and men from foreign ships of war.

648

THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE. SUPPLEMENT. 21ST JULY, 1883.

7. The number of admissions from the Police Force was large, and might be reduced if more attention were paid to Sanitary requirements in the housing of the men. The Police Hulk is especially unwholesome, and productive of one of the worst forms of fever among the Chinese Constables. In the latter part of the year Whitfield Station became remarkable for the number and severity of the cases of remittent fever sent to Hospital. This is probably to be attributed, at least in part, to the construction of the new breakwater in the neighbourhood, with the accumulation of filth from the boats behind it.

8. No. 3 Station, old and badly built, contributes occasional cases of diphtheritic sore throat. 9. I may here call attention to the objectionable practice in the Hongkong Police Stations of providing continuous benches for the sleeping accommodation of the Chinese Constables. It affords facilities for overcrowding, and on that and other grounds is objectionable.

10. The sickness among the Police was chiefly diarrhoea, febrile attacks, bronchial catarrh, and surgical injuries. One Indian Constable was admitted to Hospital suffering from corns and abrasions of one foot. He had been accustomed to go barefoot at home, and was quite disabled by the thick hard leather boots served out to him when he joined the Police in Hongkong. It might be as well to allow these men to wear canvas shoes, either black or white.

11. The total number of days spent in Hospital in 1882 by members of the Force was 5,607, in 1881 it was 6,134.

12. The admissions from foreign ships of war were 12 in number: one officer and two seamen from the French vessels, one officer and six seamen from the Russian fleet, and two seamen of the American Navy.

13. Table V shows the varieties of disease among the patients generally, with the mortality from each.

14. A comparison of the relative frequency of the different diseases in this list with that of 1881 would be of little value, as so much depends upon the amount of time and attention given to the diagnosis in each case, and with several changes in the Acting Superintendents, there is no common ground of comparison.

15. There were more venereal cases in 1882 than in the preceding year, as many as 25 being in Hospital at once, but some of them were brought into the Colony. Nagasaki seems to be especially dangerous in this respect.

16. In a number of cases the disease was said to have been contracted from Hongkong boat-women. 17. The law regarding detention in Hospital of seamen affected with venereal disease is somewhat anomalous. It compels infected seamen who have taken up their residence in a licensed boarding house to come to Hospital, and to stay there until cured, whereas if they are destitute and thrown on the streets they may scatter disease broadcast without let or hindrance.

18. Some of these cases apply and are received into Hospital as destitutes, but they are often turbulent and troublesome, and insist on leaving before they are cured.

19. There were 68 deaths during the year, which is not a large number, but some of the severest cases of injury and disease among the Chinese are usually removed by their friends to die at home.

20. The number of dead bodies sent to the Hospital, there being no public mortuary, was 198; of which 7 were European adults, 113 Chinese adults, and 78 Chinese children.

21. I believe a public mortuary will be built one of these days, and it will probably have connected with it a post-mortem room, as well as a Coroner's Court, waiting rooms for witnesses, &c.

22. When this comes to pass, the Hospital will be freed from the offensive exhalations from bodies in all stages of decomposition, as well as from the noise and bustle of the Coroner's Court, and the melancholy sight and sounds of continually passing funerals.

23. In Table V six cases of parturition are recorded, in two of which the mother died. The fate of the off-spring is not recorded, but most of them, if not all, were born dead. I have in previous reports alluded to the fact that, in cases of difficult labour among the Chinese, the lives of both mother and child are invariably sacrificed unless European aid is called in. The Chinese so-called doctors know nothing of anatomy, and they admit their utter ignorance of the mechanism of child-birth, and their consequent powerlessness to render aid to parturient women.

24. This is a matter which deserves more attention than it has received, for with the increase of the Chinese population the deaths in child-bed are likely to be more numerous year by year.

25. Last November it was suggested to the Government that a small lying-in Hospital should be provided, and it was stated that the Directors of the Tung Wa Hospital were prepared to remunerate a Medical Officer for attendance on these cases. This proposition fell to the ground, and nothing came of it beyond an undertaking by the Surveyor General to provide a lying-in ward in the new Civil Hospital when built. The new Civil Hospital, however, is to be built according to the plans approved by the Secretary of State in 1879, and as these plans only provide about of the accommodation required for the present establishment, it is difficult to understand where the lying-in ward will be. Perhaps a more feasible scheme would be for the Directors of the Tung Wa Hospital to provide a lying-in ward for poor Chinese, and to call in European assistance when necessary.

THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE, SUPPLEMENT, 21ST JULY, 1883. 649

26. In 1872, when I was appointed to the Civil Hospital, the admissions were 938 (518 Police and 420 paying patients and others) and the receipts $3,867.04: in 1882 the admissions were 1,458 (549 Police and 909 paying patients and others) and the receipts $9,822.14. Thus during ten years that I have been in charge of the Hospital the paying patients and others have more than doubled, and the receipts nearly trebled.

27. Hence it is apparent that the demands upon the Hospital Establishment are considerably larger now than formerly; a natural consequence of the growth of the population and the increased traffic through the po, es mode evident by the Census retures and the statistics of the Harbour Office. I am informed by the Harbour Master that the European tonnage which entered the port in 1873 was 1,635,352, and in 1882 it was 3,170,843.

28. In 1877 plans were drawn up by the Colonial Surgeon and the Surveyor General for the adaptation of the old Lock Hospital to the Civil Hospital Establishment.

29. Since 1877 the number of patients and the staff have both increased, and when directed to report on these plans in 1880, I found they did not provide sufficient accommodation. In 188 the number of patients was still larger, and a fortiori the plans drawn up in 1877 and approved by Sir M. H. BEACH in 1879 are now still less adequate to the requirements of the growing Colony.

30. The nursing staff is defective, and should be supplemented by the addition of an European Ward-master. Considerable difficulty has been experienced in past years in finding a suitable man for the post, but sufficient inducenat was never offered by the Government, and the patients suffer accordingly. 31. It may be interesting to give an example of one day's work performed by the two Medical Officers in charge of the Civil Hospital, vi:

a. Attendance on Subpoena at the Magistracy to give evidence.

b. Post-mortem Examination of woman; suspected opium poisoning.

c. Attendance at Inquest to give evidence.

d. Case of child-birth: Primpara; woman three days in labour; delivered with forceps.

e. Sixty-five patients in Hospital to be seen, comprising two cases of punctured wounds of the lung, two of locomotor ataxia, and cases of cerebritis, abscess of liver, fistula in ano, dysentery, chronic diarrhoea, remittent fever, caries of spine, acute bronchitis, acute and chronic phthisis, chyluria, morbus cordis, rectal abscess, severe laceration of leg, incised wound of cornea, fractured thigh, irido-choroiditis, &c. This, with the ordinary administration of the establishment, may be considered a good day's work for two surgeons, and it is fortunate if such days do not come very frequently. The largest number of patients at one time in Hospital was 87.

32. The Medico-legal work of the Colony, almost the whole of which is performed by the two Medical Officers of the Hospital, often takes up much time and attention, to the detriment of the patients in Hospital.

33. Only the other day the Superintendent was in attendance at the Supreme Court for 5 hours, while the Assistant Superintendent was at the Magistrate's Court for an hour and a half.

34. During a recent inquest, which was protracted over several weeks, the Medical Officers were both summoned and subjected to Examination at great length at different periods of the enquiry. This necessarily involved careful preparation, and made a serious addition to the Hospital labours of the two surgeons.

35. I refer to this matter here because, in considering the amount of work performed at the Civil Hospital, the Medico-legal work has on several occasions been left altogether out of the count. or else casually alluded to as a mere trifle.

36. The harassing nature of these duties, their importance to the community, and the responsi- bility which falls on those called upon to undertake them, make them a very serious part of the week's work at the Hospital.

37. The want of a laundry is much felt at the Hospital. The soiled bedding and clothing is at present sent to the fool to be washed, and the result is not satisfactory. Bedding and clothing used by the sick shou, offer each walling, be exposed for as long a time as possible to the air and sunlight. 38. This cannot be done in to Gaol, and would not be done by private washermen, and a laundry is one of the many wants of the Hospital.

39. The Marital vote for the year's washing is $700.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

THE HONGKONG GOVT GAZETTE, SUPPLEMENT, 21ST JULY, 1883.

LABORATORY,

GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL,

HONGKONG, 15th February, 1883.

SIR,I have the honour to submit the following report of the work done in the Laboratory during 1882.

2. Seventy-one Analyses were made. Of these, four were researches for poison in cases of suspected poisoning, two were researches for poison in-cases of suspected drugging, and one was a research for poison in a case of malicious poisoning of fish. The remainder were quantitative and qualitative analyses of water, milk, bread, wine, porter, lime-juice, milk, sugar and opium.

3. Water received most attention. A number of well-waters in the city were examined at the instance of Mr. CHADWICK, and a report on the same furnished to him. Well-waters from Stanley, Aberdeen and Kau-lung have also been examined and reported upon. The accompanying table gives the result of the monthly analyses of the Pok-fu-lum water. The samples were drawn from a tap in direct connection with a main in which the supply of water is continuous. In the same way as last year the organic impurity increases in the hot rainy season and decreases again in the cold and dry season. The increase of organic impurity is contemporaneous with an increase of turbidity, and is mainly if not altogether due to matter in suspension. This is in a great measure proved by comparing the June analysis with an analysis made, in the same month, on a highly filtered sample, the result of which is given at the bottom of the table. These two analyses clearly demonstrate how much the water would be improved by an efficient filtration, and the necessity for constructing filter-beds for effecting that purpose. Another noticeable feature in the table is the faint odour recorded in February, March, April, May and December. The cause of this may be due to the turbid state in which the water enters the pipes, the deposition of some of the suspended matters therein, and the subsequent decay of the organic portions thereof, or it may be that the intermittent system of supply has some- thing to do with it. In any case it is a thing deserving attention, and the cause should be removed. The increase in the amount of Chlorine recorded after the typhoon in October 1881 continued until the rainy season, when a decided decrease occurred.

4. Taking the samples of milk submitted for analysis as representing the average condition in which this valuable food is sold, adulteration with water still largely prevails.

5. In the three samples of bread examined, no foreign substances were detected. All the samples contained a slight excess of moisture, and two of them had a faint musty taste.

6. The two cases of drugging which came under notice are of considerable importance. So far as is known, they are the first instances in which it has been clearly shown that of the frequent cases of alleged drugging which come before the Police Court, some have a solid foundation. The first case happened in Aberdeen. Some men from another village visited an acquaintance there, and he invited them to join him in his evening meal. They consented, and themselves procured some samshu. All apparently drank from the same brew, but the host was the only one affected. The remains of the rice of which he partook, and a small pot containing some Chinese wine which was found in thə room were brought for analysis. The pot of wine was not that from which all appeared to have drunk and did not belong to the occupant of the room. Nothing foreign was found in the rice. In the wine an Alkaloidal substance, producing physiological effects peculiar to those caused by certain plants belonging to the solanaceous order, was detected. The second case occurred in the city. A few persons after eating congee became more or less stupefied. The remains of the congee were brought for analysis. In this an Alkaloidal substance, producing the same physiological effects as the substance detected in the wine in the first case, was found. Unfortunately it was impossible to prove what particular plant was used in either of these cases, but no doubt it was a Datura, and most probably the variety known as Datura Alba. The Chemical tests for the mydriatic alkaloids, derived from plants belonging to the solanaceous order, are not so distinctive as is desirable. The Physiological tests are extremely delicate and certain, but they do not afford any means of distinguishing from which plant the alkaloid has been derived. Whether in these cases the wine and rice were drugged to facilitate the commission of other crimes, or whether the cases were merely trumped up for revenge, the fact remains that the lower classes of Chinese are cognisant of and use for producing stupefaction one or more of the poisonous solanaceous plants.

7. The case of malicious poisoning of fish which occurred in the Central market is worthy of some attention. It was a cunningly devised plan for attaining the object in view, with a minimum amount of risk to the operator. The substance used kills fish with certainty, although it takes some little time to act. In this case it was so prepared that on being dropped into water it readily sank to the bottom, and took some time to diffuse through it. At least half an hour would elapse from the time it was added before the fish would show manifest signs of poisoning. Even then, to those unacquainted with it, the water would have no marked indications of its presence. Fortunately in this case a lump of the material was found and forwarded for analysis. A research for mineral poison and for alkaloids resulted in failure. The substance appeared to be some vegetable

663

THE HONGKONG GOVTM GAZETTE, SUPPLEMENT, 21ST JULY, 1883. powder, mixed with sand and moistened with petroleum. A partial proximate analysis showed the presence of petroleum, fixed oil, a resinous substance, vegetable matter insoluble in 84 per cent. alcohol, and sand. Experiments on fish showed the resinous substance to be the principal toxic agent. Further examination of this resinous matter proved it to be closely allied to, if not identical with the glucoside called saponin. This knowledge of the substance could not be considered satisfactory, and inquiries were instituted for the purpose of ascertaining what vegetable substances were generally used by the Chinese for poisoning fish. Mr. ORLEY, Inspector of Markets, succeeded in procuring two substances called by the Chinese Cha-tsai Fan () and Cha-tsai Peng (f) stating he had been informed they were used conjointly when mixed with oil as a fish poison. The ordinary purpose for which the former is used is to remove greasy stains, and for washing things generally, the latter as a hair wash. On examination both appeared to be the same thing in different forms, and cor- responded with the substance previously examined, which had been used as a fish poison. Further enquiries indicated that they were derived from the fruit of the Camellia Oleifera, a tree which closely resembles the tea tree, and is sometimes confounded with it. Mr. FORD very kindly procured and gave The seeds yielded a large percentage of a fixed oil, and also me some of the fruit of this tree. contained a substance giving most of the reactions of saponin, but differing from it in some points. These differences may be due to slight impurity, or the substance may be distinct from saponin, although very similar to it.

8. It would thus seem to be satisfactorily proved that Cha-tsai Fan was the material used in the case of the malicious poisoning of fish, that the active principal thereof is either saponin or a very closely allied substance, that it is derived from the seeds of the Camellia Oleifera, and that the method of production is first to remove the oil from the seeds by pressure, and then to reduce the cake so obtained to a fine powder. Saponin or closely related substances have been found in many plants of different orders, but this appears to be the first time it has been recorded as occurring in the Camelliaceæ.

I have the honour to be.

Contribution from the Revenue of this Colony.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 4TH AUGUST, 1883.

Mr. JOHNSON, pursuant to notice, makes the following motion, and addresses the Council :--- "That His Excellency the Governor be respectfully requested to cause to be laid on the Table copies of correspondence between the Chamber of Commerce and the Colonial Secretary relative to "the application of the Canton-Hongkong Wa-Hop Telegraph Company to lay a cable across the "harbour."

His Excellency the Governor replies as follows:-

In reply to the Honourable Member, I beg to state that there is no objection whatever to lay on the table copies of the correspondence referred to. On the contrary, I have always been, throughout my long career as a Colonial Governor, in favour of the greatest degree of publicity respecting public affairs which may be compatible with the interests of the public service. With regard to the matter of the Wa-Hop Telegraph Company, I take this opportunity of stating that there is no objection on the part of the Colonial Government to that Company laying a cable from the present terminus at Kaulung to this City-a distance of about four miles. But the Imperial Government have given strict instructions that all applications in connection with the subject of telegraphic extension shall be referred for consideration to the Secretary of State for the Colonies. Accordingly, the late Administrator of the Government (Mr. MARSH) so referred the first application of the Wa-Hop Telegraph Company. The reply was to this effect: "Her Majesty's Government have thought it well, in view of the present complicated condition of telegraphic arrangements in China, that the permission which has applied for should not be granted." I have recently forwarded, for favourable consideration, a second application from the Wa-Hop Telegraph Company. That is how the matter stands now.

The Colonial Secretary then, by command of the Governor, lays upon the table the following correspondence:-

(a.) Acting Colonial Secretary, to Secretary, Chamber of Commerce, 11th October, 1882. (b.) Secretary, Chamber of Commerce, to Acting.Colonial Secretary, 14th October, 1882,

with enclosure.

(c.) Chairman, Chamber of Commerce, to Acting Colonial Secretary, 28th December, 1882. His Excellency the Governor adjourns the Council sine die,

By Command,

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 10th August, 1883.

FINDING.

We find that the British Steam-ship Spark, Official No., 64,093, of Hongkong, of which ARCHIBALD HUGH BROOKE ROSE was the Master, was wrecked on Cape Cami on the evening of the 21st July, 1883. We find that this vessel was lost through the careless navigation of ARCHIBALD HUGH BROOKE ROSE, the number of whose Certificate of Competency is Hongkong 759,

We find that after the ship was on the rocks the Master made no exertions to see what damage the vessel had sustained; and that he took no steps to preserve discipline, or to assert his authority.

The Master admits in his statement that after the vessel struck he took no farther interest in her. There was no Cargo in the ship.

We are of opinion that Mr. JAMESON who acted as Chief Engineer did not desert the vessel. After a full consideration of the circumstances attending the loss of this ship we do hereby order that Mr. ARCHIBALD HUGH BROOKE ROSE'S Certificate of Competency, Hongkong No. 759, be suspended for a period of two years from this date. We recommend that Mr. ROSE be furnished with a First Mate's Certificate.

Dated at Hongkong this 6th day of August, 1883.

CHINA SEA-FORMOSA ISLAND.

Fixed Light and Fog Signals on South Cape.

With reference to Notice to Mariners, No 105 (2), of 6th June 1882, on the exhibition of a provisional light, pending the completion of a lighthouse, on South Cape or Nan-sha, the southern extremity of Formosa island:-

The Chinese Government has given Noticê, that on 1st April 1883, the permanent light was exhibited:-

The light is a fixed light, showing white between the bearings of S. 85° E. through north and S. 55° W., and red from S. 85° E. to S. 28° E.; it is elevated 180 feet above the sea, and should be visible in clear weather from a distance of 20 miles.

The illuminating apparatus is dioptric, or by lenses, of the first order.

Between the bearings of S. 55° W. and S. 8610 W., the visibility of the light will depend on the distance from it, owing to the height of the land eastward of the lighthouse. With the light bearing S. 55° W., a vessel must be between 15 and 20 miles distant to see it; but as it is brought to bear more to the westward, the arc of visibility is increased, until, on the bearing S. 8640 W., it is visible at all distances to the extreme limit of its range.

To the westward and north-westward of South-west point, the light is entirely obscured by the land between the bearings of S. 801° E. and S. 28° E.

The lighthouse, 71 feet high, of iron, and circular in shape, is situated about 550 yards due north from high-water mark at the southern extremity of the cape.

The tower, dwellings, and boundary wall, are painted white,

Position, lat. 21° 55′ 00′′ N., long. 120° 50′ 40′′ E.

Also, that the following fog signals have been established at South cape lighthouse:-

During thick or foggy weather-should a bell, fog horn, steam whistle, or other sound be heard, indicating the proximity of a vessel, two guns will be fired with an interval of three minutes between them; and if the vessels' fog signal is still heard, the firing will be repeated after an interval of eight minutes.

(The bearings are Magnetic.

The net profits for that period, including $58,215.77 brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deducting interest paid and due, and making provision for bad and doubtful debts, amount to $633,165.55, of which. after taking out rebate on Bills not yet due. and remuneration to Directors, there remains for appropriation $621,475.14.

From this sum, the Directors recommend the payment of a Dividend of Two pounds Sterling per Share, on the old Shares, and Five shillings per Share on the new Shares, which will absorb $377,777.78.

The difference in Exchange between 4/6, the rate at which the Dividend is declared, and 3/7 the current rate of the day amounts to $91,187.74. The Directors propose placing $100,000 to the Reserve for equalization of Dividends Account.

The Balance $52,509.62 to be brought for- ward to the credit of new Profit and Loss Account.

AUDITORS.

The Accounts have been audited by the Hon. PHINEAS RYRIE and Mr. FULLARTON HENDERSON; the latter in the place of Mr. JOHN MACGREGOR who is absent from the Colony.

NOTIFICATION.

Whereas it seems fit for the peace, order and good government of British Subjects resident in or resorting to Japan, and for the observance of the stipulations of Treaties between Her Majesty the Queen, her heirs and successors, and His Majesty the Mikado of Japan, and for the maintenance of friendly relations between British subjects and Japanese subjects and authorities, that British subjects resident in or resorting to Japan should observe and comply with the Regulations issued by the Imperial Japanese Government on the twenty-third day of June 1882, for the prevention of the spread of cholera, by the inspection of all vessels arriving from infected localities so long as and wherever such Regulations shall be from time to time in force :—

And whereas it seems fit that a penalty should be imposed upon and be leviable from any British Subject who shall wilfully infringe the provisions of the said Regulations, the undersigned, Her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in Japan, under and by virtue of the powers vested in him by Articles 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 20, of the China and Japan Order in Council 1881, and of any other power enabling him in that behalf, has made the following Regulation, which Regulation being urgent the same shall take effect, and shall continue to have effect unless and until it is disapproved by Her Majesty The Queen, and until notification of such disapproval has been received and published in the manner provided for in the said Order in Council :-

REGULATION.

Any British Subject who shall wrongfully and wilfully contravene or infringe or interfere with the execution of the provisions of the Regulations issued by the Japanese Government on the twenty- third day of June, 1882, so long as and wherever such Regulations shall from time to time be in force and form a part of the municipal law of Japan, shall be deemed to have committed an offence against this Regulation, which is a Regulation of urgency, and on conviction thereof by or before any of Her Majesty's Courts in Japan shall be liable to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding three months, with or without hard labour, and with or without a fine not exceeding three hundred dollars, or to a fine not exceeding three hundred dollars without imprisonment, and with or without a further fine for a continuing offence not exceeding twenty-five dollars for each day during which the offence continues after the original fine is incurred.

Given under my hand at Her Britannic Majesty's Legation, at Tokio, this twenty-seventh day of June, 1882.

(Signed)

HARRY S. PARKES.

NOTIFICATION.

•

With reference to the Regulation made by Her Majesty's Minister, on the 27th June, 1882, for the prevention of the spread of Cholera, the Undersigned is authorized by Sir HARRY S.

[TRANSLATION.]

August 7th, 1883.

SIR, The Japanese Central Board of Health has, after discussion, decided to declare the port of Swatow, in the Province of Kwan-tung, in China, to be a place where Cholera is prevalent, and accordingly the Home Minister has to-day, sent instructions to the (local authorities at the) three Ports of Yokohama, Kobe, and Nagasaki, to the effect that the Regulations respecting the inspection of vessels, which were established under Notification No. 31, of 1882 are to be put into force in the case of all vessels arriving from Swatow. These Regulations will therefore come into force from the day on which the Home Minister's instructions reach the localities mentioned.

I beg that your Excellency will notify British subjects residing in this country accordingly.

His Excellency

Sir HARRY S. PARKES, K.C.B., G.C.M.G.

H. B. M.'s Minister.

I take, etc.,

BRITISH CONSULATE, BATAVIA, 1st September, 1883.

SIR, I have the honour to hand you enclosed a copy of my telegram of 30th ultimo, reporting the recent volcanic outbreak on the island of Krakatau, Sunda Straits.

From reports that are now to hand it appears that the passage between the islands of Krakatau and Sibesie, which is the channel usually traversed by steamers passing through the Straits, is now closed for navigation, a reef having been formed between the two islands.

Dwars in den Weg (Athwart the Way) island is said to have split into five pieces, while Poeloe Temposa and other small islands have totally disappeared, and several new ones have been formed.

These reports still require verification, and a Government surveying vessel has already started to make a new survey of the Straits and define the supposed changes in their conformation.

With a view to warn vessels passing through the Straits to proceed with caution, one man-of-war has been stationed by the Dutch Admiral at the Northern and another at the Southern entrance of the Straits.

I have the honour to be,

His Excellency

THE GOVERNOR of Hongkong,

Who, after having communicated to each other their respective full powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon the following Articles :-

•

The subjects.of each of the two Parties shall have liberty freely to come, with their ships and cargoes, to all places, ports, and rivers in the dominions and possessions of the other to which native subjects generally are or may be permitted to come, and shall enjoy, respectively, the same rights, privileges, liberties, favours, immunities, and exemptions in matters of commerce and navigation which are or may be enjoyed by native subjects, without having to pay any tax or impost greater than those paid by the same, and they shall be subject to the laws and regulations in force.

ARTICLE II.

760 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH SEPTEMBER, 1883.

manufacture of the dominions and possessions of either of the Contracting Parties into the dominions and possessions of the other, from whatever place arriving, which shall not equally extend to the importation of the like articles being the produce or manufacture of any other country. This last provision is not applicable to the sanitary and other prohibitions occasioned by the necessity of protecting the safety of persons or of cattle, or of plants useful to agriculture.

ARTICLE III.

No other or higher duties or charges shall be imposed in the dominions and possessions of either of the Contracting Parties on the exportation of any article to the dominions and possessions of the other, than such as are or may be payable on the exportation of the like article to any other foreign country; nor shall any prohibition be imposed on the exportation of any article from the dominions and possessions of either of the two Contracting Parties to the dominions and possessions of the other, which shall not equally extend to the exportation of the like article to any other country.

Such reciprocal equality of treatment shall take effect without distinction, whether such articles come directly from the place of origin or from any other place.

In the same manner, there shall be perfect equality of treatment in regard to exportation, so that the same export duties shall be paid, and the same bounties and drawbacks allowed, in the dominions and possessions of either of the Contracting Parties on the exportation of any article which is or may be legally exported therefrom, whether such exportation shall take place in Italian or in British vessels, and whatever may be the place of destination, whether a port of either of the Contracting Parties, or of

Such equality of treatment shall apply reciprocally to the respective vessels, from whatever port or place they may arrive, and whatever may be their place of destination.

ARTICLE VII.

In all that regards the stationing, loading and unloading of vessels in the ports, basins, docks, roadsteads, harbours, or rivers of the dominions and possessions of the two countries, no privilege shall be granted to national vessels which shall not be equally granted to vessels of the other country; the intention of the Contracting Parties being that in this respect also the respective vessels shall be treated on the footing of perfect equality.

have come.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH SEPTEMBER, 1883. 761

762 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH SEPTEMBER, 1883.

ARTICLE XV.

From the red buoy creek to the South Australian Company's dock entrance the channel is nearly 300ft. wide, having a depth of not less than 21ft. at low water.

It is recommended that large or heavy draught ships should not come in until the tidal signals exhibited from the Semaphore station show at least 1ft. above the vessel's draught.

J. H. STEWART-LOCKHART,

for the Colonial Secretary.

DOWNING STREET, 11th August, 1883.

SIR,-I have the honour to transmit to you, for publication in the Colony under your nosenient, copies of an Agreement between the Governments of Great Britain and Denmark for the Mutual Relief of Distressed Seamen, signed at London on the 25th of July, 1883.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

DERBY.

The Officer Administering the Government of

HONGKONG.

AGREEMENT between the Governments of Great Britain and Denmark for the Mutual Relief of Distressed Seamen.

Signed at London, July 25, 1883.

THE Government of Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Government of His Majesty the King of Denmark, being desirous to make arrangements for the relief of distressed seamen of the two nations in certain cases, the Undersigned, duly authorized to that effect, have agreed as follows:-

If a seaman of one of the Contracting States, after serving on board a ship of the other Contracting State, remains behind in a third State or in its Colonies, or in the Colonies of that State whose flag the ship carries, and the said seaman is in a helpless condition in consequence of shipwreck, or from other causes, then the Government of that State whose flag the ship bears shall be bound to support the said seaman until he enters into ship-service again, or finds other employment, or until he arrives in his native State or its Colonies, or dies.

But this is on condition that the seaman so situated shall avail himself of the first opportunity that offers to prove his necessitous condition, and the causes thereof, to the proper officials, of the State whose support is to be solicited, and that the destitution is shown to be the natural consequence of the termination of his service on board the ship: otherwise the aforesaid liability to afford relief lapses.

The said liability is also excluded if the seaman has deserted, or has been turned out of the ship for any criminal act, or has left it on account of disability for service in consequence of illness or wounding resulting from his own fault.

The relief includes maintenance, clothing, medical attendance, medicine, and travelling expenses ; in case of death the funeral expenses are also to be paid.

The present Agreement shall come into operation on the 1st November, 1883, and shall continue in force until one of the Contracting Parties shall announce to the other, one year in advance, its intention to terminate it.

In witness whereof the Undersigned, duly authorized for that purpose, have signed the present Agreement, and have affixed thereto the seal of their arms.

Done at London in duplicate the twenty-fifth day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty-three.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

The following Finding of a Marine Court, appointed to enquire into the loss of the British Ship G. C. Trufant, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 24th October, 1883.

FINDING.

J. H. STEWART-Lockhart,

for the Colonial Secretary.

We find that the British ship G. C. Trufant, Official No. 70,696, of which GAMALIEL THOMAS, number of whose Certificate of Competency is 30,189, was Master, struck on the Fiery Cross Reef in the China Sea on the 7th September 1883, at 12.30 A.M., that she was backed off, making water, which, rapidly increasing, determined the Master to run for the shore, and ground the ship. Port Barton in the N.W. part of the Palawan Island was chosen, and the vessel was grounded there on the 11th of September, having about 19 feet of water in the hold.

We are of opinion that the grounding of this ship on the Fiery Cross Reef is to be attributed to the vessel's meeting with an unexpected and unusual South Easterly Current.

We attach no blame to the Master for the loss of the vessel, and we are of opinion that he did all a prudent man could do for the ship and safety of the crew.

From the evidence it appears that the Master left this Port in the British ship G. C. Trufant without having at least one Officer, besides himself, possessing a valid certificate appropriate to the grade of Only Mate therein, or to a higher grade. As the loss of the ship cannot be attributed to this breach of the law of the Colony, it is not for this Court to deal with it.

Given under our hands at Hongkong this 23rd day of October, 1883.

Circulaire aux Représentants de la République Française près les Puissances Maritimes.

PARIS, le Août, 1883. .

MONSIEUR,-Les rapports qui nous parviennent de l'Extrême Orient signalent sur plusieurs points le départ de navires chargés d'armes et de munitions à destination de l'Annam., Ayant été amenés à intervenir dans les affaires du Tonquin et à occuper cette province pour y rétablir l'ordre, nous ne pouvons laisser s'effectuer librement un trafic qui aurait pour effet d'accroître les forces des rebelles contre lesquels nous sommes en lutte. En conséquence, les Commandants de nos forces navales ont été invités à exercer une stricte surveillance dans le golfe du Tonquin et à visiter tous les navires suspects qui se dirigeraient sur les ports Annamites; ceux qui, après notification individuelle de l'interdiction mise au commerce des armes, tenteraient néanmoins de débarquer leur cargaison ou de franchir les lignes des blocus établis, s'exposeraient à la saisie.

Au surplus, le traité conclu le 31 Août, 1874, entre la France et l'Annam, qui a eu pour effet d'ouvrir certains ports au commerce étranger, sans distinction de nationalité, porte en termes formels que, par exception, "les armes et les munitions de guerre ne pourront être ni importées ni exportées แ par le commerce.

Notre Commissaire au Tonquin ainsi que le Chef de notre Escadre ont reçu l'ordre de prendre toutes les mesures necessaires pour imposer la stricte observation de cette clause.

Je vous serai obligé de vouloir bien porter ces dispositions à la connaissance du Gouvernement auprès duquel vous êtes accrédité, afin qu'il puisse prevenir les capitaines des bâtiments de commerce portant son pavillon.

The following report of the inspection of the Agencies of the Hongkong General Post Office by the Assistant Postmaster General, is published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 3rd November, 1883.

W. H. MARSH,

Colonial Secretary.

GENERAL POST OFFICE, HONGKONG, October 20th, 1883.

SIR,-I have the honour to report that I returned yesterday from a tour of Inspection of the Agencies of this Office on the Coast of China.

2. During this tour I visited the Post Offices at the Ports of Shanghai, Hankow, Ningpo, Foochow, Amoy and Swatow.

3. At each Port I called on the Consul, the Commissioner of Customs, and the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, with a view to ascertaining, whether the postal arrangements were satisfactory or not, and I am happy to report that the present arrangements are giving satisfaction to the commu- nities concerned.

4. At Shanghai I had an opportunity of observing the treatment of an incoming as well as an outgoing Mail; everything worked smoothly and regularly. I found the postal property in capital order, with the exception of the Mail Cart, the bottom of which was rotten. I accordingly directed the Postmaster to have it repaired. The cost of the repairs will be about $22. Besides our own Office at this Port, there are five other Offices, viz. :-French, American, Japanese, Local, and Customs. The number of home letters, &c., going through the first is increasing, owing to the fact that the postal rates are just half our own. The Local Office is a great convenience to the public and is much used. For 30 taels per annum any firm may transmit an unlimited quantity of correspondence.

5. During the tea season at Hankow a large amount of correspondence is sent on board the tea steamers, and taken by the Captains to Suez and there posted. If by some means we could arrange that this correspondence should pass through our office it would add considerably to our Postal Revenue. 6. At Foochow the community are still very anxious to have direct communication with Hongkong, but this question has already been dealt with by you. The Community at this port at present suffer a considerable inconvenience which might be easily removed. The Homeward Mails are closed at 3.30. P.M., as the only means of conveying them to the Steamer at Pagoda Anchorage is by Messrs. JARDINE, MATHESON & Co.'s launch, which leaves Foochow at 4 o'clock. I therefore suggest the expenditure of $1 per Mail in Sampan hire, as the Mail might then be closed at any hour, to the great convenience of the Community.

7. The double Office system at Amoy is working well. It is, however, a great pity that the Imperial Post Office will not allow an Assistant, as to work both Offices satisfactorily one is absolutely necessary. I would strongly recommend that this Agency be supplied with a four-oared gig in place of the present dingy. It frequently happens that a steamer slows down about three miles outside Amoy simply to drop the Mails, and in rough weather the dingy is absolutely unsafe; in point of fact the Agent almost always uses the Consular gig on these occasions.

8. The new Office at Swatow is much appreciated by the Community there, as Mails are now closed only half an hour before the departure of the Steamer.

9. The only Offices possessing Safes are the Shanghai and Amoy Offices. I think it would be advisable to supply each Agency with a small one for the safe keeping of Stamps, Registered Letters, Cash, &c.

10. I took the opportunity whilst at Amoy and Swatow of thanking Messrs. ELLES & Co., and Messrs. BUTTERFIELD & SWIRE for allowing us to use their Offices for postal purposes.

11. The foreign communities at the Ports I visited, complain of the inconvenience of the present system of issuing Money Orders from the Offices in Hongkong and Shanghai alone. They would regard as a great boon any arrangements which would enable them to obtain Money Orders at the Postal Agencies of their own Ports, as they would thus save much time and trouble.

12. Before concluding my report, I must put on record my sincere thanks to H. B. M. Consuls at the various ports I visited for their kind assistance in helping me to execute my work.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

The Honourable ALFRED LISTER,

Postmaster General,

HONGKONG.

CHAPTER 30.

An Act to authorise Companies registered under the Companies Act, 1862,

to keep Local Registers of their Members in British Colonies.

[20th August, 1883.]

HEREAS many companies registered under the Companies Act, 1862, carry on business in British colonies, and dealings in their shares are frequent in such colonies, but delay, inconvenience, and expense are occasioned by reason of the absence of

any legal provision for keeping local registers of members, and it is expedient that such provisions as this Act contains be made in that behalf:

Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

A.D. 1883.

construction.

1. This Act may be cited for all purposes as the Companies (Colonial Registers) Short title and Act, 1883; and this Act shall, so far as is consistent with the tenor thereof, be con- strued as one with the Companies Acts, 1862 to 1880, and the said Acts and this Act may be referred to as the Companies Acts, 1862 to 1883.

2. In this Act the term "company" means a company registered under the Com- Definitions. panies Act, 1862, and having a capital divided into shares; the term "shares" includes stock; the term "colony" does not include any place within the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, or the Channel Islands, but includes such territories as may for the time being be vested in Her Majesty by virtue of an Act of Parliament for the government of India, and any plantation, territory, or settlement situate elsewhere within Her Ma- jesty's dominions.

3. (1.) Any company whose objects comprise the transaction of business in a colony may, if authorised so to do by its regulations, as originally framed or as altered by special resolution, cause to be kept in any colony in which it transacts business a branch register or registers of members resident in such colony.

(2.) The company shall give to the registrar of joint stock companies notice of the situation of the office where any such branch register (in this Act called a colonial register) is kept, and of any change therein, and of the discontinuance of any such office in the event of the same being discontinued.

(3.) A colonial register shall, as regards the particulars entered therein, be deemed to be a part of the company's register of members, and shall be primâ facie evidence of all particulars entered therein. Any such register shall be kept in the manner provided by the Companies Acts, 1862 to 1880, with this qualification, that the advertisement mentioned in section thirty-three of the Companies Act, 1862, shall be inserted in some newspaper circulating in the district wherein the register to be closed is kept, and that any competent court in the colony where such register is kept shall be entitled to exercise

(4.) The company shall transmit to its registered office a copy of every entry in its colonial register or registers as soon as may be after such entry is made, and the company shall cause to be kept at its registered office, duly entered up from time to time, a duplicate or duplicates of its colonial register or registers. The provisions of section thirty-two of the Companies Act, 1862, shall apply to every such duplicate, and every such duplicate shall, for all the purposes of the Companies Acts, 1862 to 1880, be deemed to be part of the register of members of the company.

(5.) Subject to the provisions of this Act with respect to the duph

egater,

the shares registered in a colonial register shall be distinguished from the shares regis- tered in the principal register, and no transaction with respect to any shares registered in a colonial register shall, during the continuance of the registration of such shares in such colonial register, be registered in any other register.

(6.) The company may discontinue to keep any colonial register, and thereupon all entries in that register shall be transferred to some other colonial register kept by the company in the same colony, or to the register of members kept at the registered office of the company.

(7.) In relation to stamp duties the following provisions shall have effect:-

(a.) An instrument of transfer of a share registered in a colonial register under this Act shall be deemed to be a transfer of property situated out of the United Kingdom, and unless executed in any part of the United Kingdom shall be exempt from British stamp duty.

(b.) Upon the death of a member registered in a colonial register under this Act, the share or other interest of the deceased member shall for the purposes of this Act so far as relates to British duties be deemed to be part of his estate and effects situated in the United Kingdom for or in respect of which probate or letters of administration is or are to be granted, or whereof an inventory is to be exhibited and recorded in like manner as if he were registered in the register of members kept at the registered office of the company.

(8.) Subject to the provisions of this Act, any company may, by its regulations as originally framed, or as altered by special resolution, make such provisions as it may think fit respecting the keeping of colonial registers.

Revolving Light on Steep Island--Fog Signal.

The Chinese Government has given Notice, that on 27th May 1883, a revolving light was exhibited from a lighthouse recently erected on Steep island, Fishermans group, Chusan Archipelago:-

The light is a revolving light, showing white flashes at intervals of thirty seconds, elevated 243 feet above the sea, and should be visible in clear weather from a distance of 22 miles.

The light is obscured by Tripod island, between the bearings N. 21° E. and N. 41° E.; also, to the east and south-east of Video and the Fishermans group, between the bearings N. 58° W. and N. 8810 W.

To the westward of Hall and Hewett islands, the light is obscured between the bearings S. 6310 E. and S. 82° E., with the exception of a ray between the bearings S. 66° E. and S. 641° E.

The illuminating apparatus is dioptric, or by lenses, of the third order.

The lighthouse is a circular iron tower, 47 feet high, and is painted black; the dwellings and boundary wall are coloured white.

During thick or foggy weather, should the keeper hear a bell, fog-horn, steam whistle, or any sound indicating the proximity of a vessel, three guns will be fired in succession, with an interval of three minutes between the first and second, and between the second and third; and if the vessel's fog signal be still heard, will repeat the firing after an interval of ten

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY, 8th November, 1883.

SIR, I have the honour to acquaint you, for the information of His Excellency the. Governor, that, as directed by His Excellency in your letter of the 30th July ultimo, I have visited several of the Treaty Ports, and acted on the instructions laid down in your letter of the 23rd August ultimo.

2. I have during September and October ultimo visited Swatow, Amoy, Shanghai, Chinkiang, Kiukiang, Hankow and Takow, and called on the Consular and Customs authorities stationed there. I also accepted the invitation of the Commissioner of Customs, Amoy, to visit, as an official passenger in the Imperial Maritime Customs Revenue Cruiser, Leng-Fêng, several Lighthouses along the Coast viz.: Middle Dog, Turnabout, Ockseu, Fisher Island (Pescadores) and South Cape (Formosa). I spent six days at the latter place, it being a most important position.

3. I availed myself of this opportunity to study the geography of the Coast, etc., in its meteoro- logical aspects, to inspect and occasionally verify meteorological instruments, to select the best places for future stations, to instruct eventual meteorological observers, and to occasionally make meteorolo- gical observations on board, or magnetic observations on shore with instruments that I took with me.

4. I have the honour to report that at present no meteorological service appears to exist in China. Some instruments are read in the Treaty Ports and Lighthouses, but no particular system is followed. The instruments are generally useless. They are not of approved construction or properly placed, and corrections are not determined and applied, nor are the observers properly instructed.

5. Sir ROBERT HART, Inspector General of the Imperial Maritime Customs of China, took steps over ten years ago to start a meteorological service, for China, and it was his intention to co-operate with other governments, and to exchange meteorological information. He purchased in London meteorological instruments of the construction approved in England, which are sufficient to equip the necessary number of stations, and it is intended that all superfluous meteorological registers should be suppressed.

6. These instruments remain stored in the Custom houses at Shanghai and Amoy. I inspected those in Shanghai, and at the request of the Commissioner of Customs, Amoy, I unpacked, adjusted and verified sixteen complete sets of instruments of good construction and in good preservation, and these instruments are now fit to be distributed among the stations.

7. While staying in Amoy, I had the honour to inform the Commissioner of Customs that thermometer screens and stands for radiation thermometers were required. At his request several such screens and stands were constructed there under my supervision. These are now submitted to Sir ROBERT HART, and, if approved by him, similar ones will no doubt be made and sent to all the future stations.

8. It is the intention of Sir ROBERT HART, that the meteorological registers in China shall be kept according to a uniform system, uniformity being an essential condition for the success of so extensive a meteorological service.

9. I have had the honour, by order of His Excellency the Governor, to draw up "Instructions for making meteorological observations in China," which are now in the press, and, have ventured to lay a copy before Sir ROBERT HART, together with two different forms for entering meteorological observations, with the view of inducing him to communicate them officially to the Commissioners of Customs at the various Treaty Ports.

10. The harbour masters and other out-door officials of the Imperial Maritime Customs I have found to be men of considerable intelligence, and I am sure that they will take an interest in keeping meteorological registers, whenever the observations are started by order of the Inspector General.

11. The observations should be made daily at 10 A.M., 4 P.M., and 10 P.M., in the Treaty Ports. One of the forms which I have ventured to submit is for entering such observations. In the light- houses observations are made either every three, or every four hours, according to the number of the staff stationed in the respective lighthouse. In case the observations are made every three hours it would be an advantage, though by no means necessary, to have them taken at 1 A.M., 4 A.M., 7 a.m., 10 A.M., 1 P.M., 4 P.M., 7 P.M., and 10 P.M. The other form submitted is for entering such observations. -It will be seen that the registers that apply to the lighthouses are of a more simple form than those for the harbours. I intend that at the Hongkong Observatory corresponding observations shall be made at 10 A.M., 4 P.M., and 10 P.M., with instruments of English construction, similar to those belonging to the Imperial Maritime Customs.

12. I have had the honour, with the assistance of the Commissioner of Customs, Amoy, and of the Coast Inspector, Shanghai, to select the following thirty-five stations as most suitable for meteoro- logical observations.. They are herewith submitted:-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH NOVEMBER, 1883

13. His Excellency the Governor has already offered Sir ROBERT HART the co-operation of the Hongkong Observatory, which is, owing to its (in meteorological respects) un-equalled situation, its connection with a high level station on Victor la Peak, and its telegraphic connection with other meteorological centres, the very best place to form a centre for the meteorological service of China, of which it is physically a part, and His Excellency does not see any objection to allow me to act as Meteorological Reporter to the Imperial Maritime Customs of China.

14. In the event of Sir ROBERT HART deciding to make use of my services here, the Commissioner of Customs, Amoy, informed me, that he will suggest that the monthly meteorological registers be sent to me direct from Kiungchow, Pakhoi and Canto n, that the monthly registers from Swatow to Ningpo (including lighthouses and stations in Formosa) be sent to me through the Commissioner of Customs, Amoy, and that the monthly registers from the more northern stations and from those on the Yangtze-kiang, be sent to me through the Commissioner of Customs, Shanghai.

15. I would venture to suggest that His Excellency should secure for me Sir ROBERT HAFT permission to communicate with him direct, in the event of any neglect of duty being exhibited by the observers in connection with their meteorological work.

16. I have not yet had an opportunity of verifying all the instruments belonging to the Imperial Maritime Customs, but have verified the greater portion of those that are suitable for making trust- worthy observations, and I am prepared to give my advice concerning the manner in which they ought to be distributed.

17.. Whenever the monthly registers are sent to me, the first step to be taken will be to apply the corrections that the respective instruments require, as well as temperature corrections and reduc- tions to sea level, etc.

18. The registers should then be revised by me, in order to discover, and as far as possible correct any mistakes made by the observers.

19. The observations should then be discussed: daily weather maps constructed, and conclusions drawn from the registers at each separate station, as well as from a comparison of the different registers.

20. I would venture to suggest that all the registers thus reduced and revised should be periodic- ally (if possible every month) published in Shanghai, by order of the Inspector General of the Imperial Maritime Customs, with a preface by myself embodying the results of my discussion of the observations, accompanied by the most interesting weather maps.

21. The Inspector General would no doubt make all the observations and the conclusions drawn from them accessible to meteorologists by liberally presenting to them copies of the Imperial Maritime Customs Meteorological Report, which would assist them in the investigation of typhoons and other phenomena, and I would especially recommend that the Governments of Singapore, Hongkong, Japan. and Russia, as well as the private observatories at Zi-ka-wei and Manila, should be favoured with these reports at the earliest opportunity.

22. To communicate the registers, to any individual before they were properly corrected, reduced, revised and discussed, would be most objectionable, and would in fact jeopardise the whole scheme. Besides, conclusions drawn from such observations are untrustworthy and tend to retard the progress of science.

23. With reference to telegraphic weather intelligence and storm warnings, referred to in your letters of the 30th July and 23rd August ultimo, I have the honour to inform you that the Directors of the Great Northern and of the Eastern Extension Telegraph Companies have promised me their support, in gratuitously sending meteorological messages between Hongkong and Manila, Amoy, Foochow, Shanghai, Wladiwostock and Nagasaki.

24. I propose that the observations should be corrected and reduced by me before they are given to the public, and that they should be eventually accompanied by weather forecasts and storm warnings. 25. I have had the honour, in accordance with the instructions contained in your letter (3rd paragraph) of the 23rd August ultimo, to recommend to the authorities at the Treaty Ports that tide-gauges resp. river-gauges, be erected there and at some of the lighthouses, and that hourly records be kept for a space of two years, and I have had the honour to give my opinion to several of the Commissioners of Customs concerning the best way of fixing their tide-gauges.

26. I have had the honour to explain to the authorities with whom I have communicated that the object of the Hongkong Government is the general benefit of all who trade in these waters

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR MAKING

METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS

PREPARED FOR USE IN CHINA BY

W. DOBERCK,

Government Astronomer.

PREFACE.

These instructions are issued for the information of meteorological observers in the treaty ports of China, which extend as far north as Newchwang (latitude about 41° north, longitude about 122° east of Greenwich) and as far west as Hankow and Ichang, both on the Yangtze-kiang, far inland in China,-for the 'information of observers in the Colony. of Hongkong, and for the use of commanders of vessels of all nationalities, who frequent the China seas, and to whom a knowledge of atmospheric circumstances will be especially useful, not to say necessary for the safe navigation of their ships.

Meteorological registers or logs kept according to these instructions will be thankfully received at the Hongkong Observatory, where intending observers are invited to apply for any further information which they may require, with regard to the purchase of meteorological instruments, or with regard to the observations.

It is to be hoped that the instructions will be followed by all the observers in these regions, as meteorological observations which are not made according to a plan generally adopted are seldom of any use.

II.-Barometer.

1. With the barometer we measure the pressure of the atmosphere. It consists of a vessel containing mercury (the cistern), in which is inverted a glass tube filled with pure and dry mercury. It has been boiled in the tube in order to expel every trace of air or dampness.* In virtue of the law of hydrostatic pressure, when the tube is inverted and

Pure mercury has a bright surface and there are no air-specks visible even with a magnifying glass. But to test the vacuum the barometer must be slowly inclined till the mercury reaches the top of the tube. If a metallic click is not heard at the moment of contact, there is air, above the column. To invert the barometer and leave it for some time inverted will usually cause the air, if present in only a small quantity, to rise and leave the column.

ཐོ

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH NOVEMBER, 1883.

placed vertically, the mercury falls, until it reaches the height (about 30 inches at sea level) at which its pressure on its base is equal to that exerted by the atmosphere on an equal area of the mercury in the cistern, and subsequently it rises and falls with increasing and diminishing atmospheric pressure.

2The height of the mercury in the tube is measured with a carefully divided brass rod, which for the sake of convenience is permanently attached to the barometer beside the tube. The lower end of the rod, which is generally tipped with ivory, having been adjusted to touch the surface of the mercury in the cistern, and one or two taps with the finger having been given to the top of the barometer to agitate the mercury in the column, in order to get rid of any capillary adherence, a pointer is adjusted on a level with the top of the convex surface of the mercury in the tube, and the height of the barometer is then read on the scale of the rod.

piece of white paper should be pasted behind the top of the tube and also behind the cistern so as to reflect light towards the observer. The front edge of the pointer, the top of the mercury, and the back edge of the pointer should be exactly on a level. When pointing it is necessary to keep the eye exactly on the same level, and after pointing the observer should raise and lower his head a few inches, to be sure that there is no bright space visible between the lower edges of the pointer and the mercury.

In order to facilitate the accurate reading of the height of the column a moveable scale, termed the vernier, is attached to the pointer. The principle of this contrivance is, that the total number of smallest subdivisions on the vernier is made equal to one more, or less than that number in a length of the fixed scale equal to the length of the vernier.

The long lines cut on the barometer scale correspond to tenths of an inch, and the short lines to five-hundredths, while every long line cut on the vernier corresponds to hundredths, and every short line to two-thousandths of an inch.

The following diagrams clearly exhibit the mode of reading the barometer. In fig. 1, the edge of the vernier (the pointer) intersects the scale above the division 29.80 and below 29.85. Write down 29.800 as the scale reading. Then, running the eye up the vernier, the second short line after third long line is seen to coincide with a scale division. Its value 0.030+ 0.004 added to 29.800 gives 29.834 as the reading.

فل

Fig. 1.

Fig. 2.

882

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH NOVEMBER, 1883.

In fig. 2 the pointer gives the scale reading 29.85. The first long line coincides with a scale division. Its value 0.01 must be added to 29.850, and 29.860 is therefore the reading.

If none of the vernier lines coincides with a scale line, but there is one a little above it and the next a little below it, 0.001 is to be added to that which would give the lower reading. Thus the reading in fig. 1 is more correctly 29.885.

On board ship and in lighthouses, as well as for telegrams, it is sufficient to read the hundredths of an inch, and then it is necessary only to note on the vernier the long line nearest to that which coincides. In the second example above, 29.86 would be adopted as the reading.

3. Mercury expands considerably with an increase of temperature. A column of mercury of a certain height therefore indicates a lower atmospheric pressure if the temperature at the time of observation is high, than would be indicated by the same height of the barometer if the temperature were lower. It therefore becomes necessary to reduce barometer readings to a certain standard temperature, for which 32° Fahrenheit is generally chosen. This is done by aid of Table A thermometer is attached to the barometer, which should be registered immediately before the pointers on the barometer are adjusted. The barometer should be placed in the shade in a room, but not near a fireplace.

4. Standard barometers are constructed of two forms, either with an adjustable rod, in which case the ivory point is raised or lowered until it just touches the surface of the mercury in the cistern, or with a fixed rod (Fortin's barometer), in which case the cistern consists of a chamois leather bag, which is raised by aid of a screw acting against a piece of wood, that supports the mercury bag. Some time before the reading is to be taken, the mercury should be lowered beneath the ivory point, so that it is always raised when pointing the barometer.

It is of importance that the barometer be placed in a favourable position with regard to reflected light. When the index is pointed, it should, together with its reflected image, present the appearance of a double cone.

After reading a Fortin's barometer the observer should satisfy himself, that the index is still properly pointed. In a surface of dusty and oxidised mercury it is difficult to perceive the reflected image, but except the observer happens to be accus- tomed to the manipulation of physical instruments, he had better not undertake to clean it,*

5. In the Marine barometer (Fitzroy's barometer) the cistern is closed, and the rod cannot be adjusted, but this is rendered superfluous, as the divisions on the scale have been reduced in proportion, so as to effect the necessary correction.

It is hung in gimbals so as to remain always vertical. If a barometer does not hang truly vertical, the readings are always in excess. The Marine barometer, while being pointed, must be free to keep the vertical position. After it is pointed, while the careful observer assures himself that the pointer on the vernier is a tangent to the surface of the mercury the barometer should not even be touched with the hand.

↓

To obviate the incessant "pumping" on board ship, i.e. the rising and falling of the mercury, when the vessel pitches or rolls, the middle of the tube is contracted, which greatly lessens the motion of the mercury, The same may happen. to a barometer on shore, when the wind is high, if it is not fixed to a firm wall. The mean between the highest and the lowest points of the oscillation should be entered,†

Owing to its simple construction and the facility with which it is read, the Marine barometer is highly recommended for use in lighthouses and in harbours.-The attached thermometer is of course registered immediately before the. barometer is pointed.

6. Table I exhibits the correction to be applied to barometers with brass-scales, to reduce the readings to 32° Fahrenheit. The vertical columns exhibit the correction corresponding to the nearest third of an inch of the reading of the barometer for each half degree indicated by the attached thermometer. The correction is obtained by passing the eye down the vertical column till the figure opposite the nearest half degree of the thermometer is reached. The tables extend from 29° to 102°. The correction is given in thousandths of an inch, and should be subtracted from the reading. Below 29° the correction is additive, but is not here exhibited.

7. When a barometer is read at various heights above the ground, the column sinks as the height increases. In order to compare readings of barometers in different places, they must all be reduced to mean sea level. It is therefore necessary to know the height above mean sea level at which the cistern of the barometer is placed.

* Some common barometers have a closed cistern, so that it is impossible to adjust the rod. The divisions are fixed on the wooden side of the barometer, so that the temperature correction cannot be applied, the tables being computed on the supposition that the rod is of brass. The cistern is frequently too small to hold the mercury when the barometer falls low, so that it cannot fall under a certain height. It is evidently useless to read off such a barometer. It can be of no use.

+ If the tube is very much contracted, which becomes necessary for use on men of war, where heavy firing is going on, sluggishness is caused thereby. To examine the Marine barometer for this defect, read it off, fix the vernier at one inch and a half above the reading, slant it, so that the mercury rises above the vernier, allow it to resume the vertical position, and note the instant, when the mercury in its fall passes the vernier, then lower the vernier one inch (when it will be still half an inch higher than the original reading) and note the instant the mercury passes it again. If the interval (the time it takes the mercury to fall one inch) is less than three minutes, it is fit for use on shore.

883

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH NOVEMBER, 1883.

Table II exhibits the correction for reducing to mean sea level, which is added to the reading, but it is convenient to construct a table for use at each station, which can be done as soon as the height of the cistern of the barometer is accurately known.

The temperature of the air indicated by the thermometer placed outside the house, the external thermometer, must be adopted in using this table. Under no circumstances would it be legitimate to adopt the temperature indicated by the attached thermometer.

8. But even when barometers are properly read off and corrected by aid of these tables, their readings will be generally found to differ more or less. It is therefore useless to register barometers whose index-corrections are not known. The index-correction to be applied to a standard barometer is generally constant at all pressures, but will in case of a Marine barometer, be found variable along the scale.

The Hongkong Observatory undertakes to furnish free of cost corrections of barometers (including their attached thermometers) sent there by observers who regularly send their registers to the Government Astronomer.

9. A barometer should always be packed and carried cistern upwards, and the vernier should be brought to the bottom of the scale. It should be placed in a double case and surrounded with some soft and elastic matter, such as shavings, tow or paper cuttings. The inner case should be also surrounded with some such matter. The lids of the cases must be screwed, not nailed down, and marked: "Glass with care, to be kept flat or this end upwards." If a standard barometer is found to have leaked a little, it does not make any difference, but any leakage whatever in case of a Marine barometer introduces an error, in consequence of which a new index correction is required.

Before packing a Fortin's barometer the cistern screw is turned, till only a small vacant space is left in the tube to allow the mercury to expand without bursting it.

A wooden back is supplied with a standard barometer which is fixed to the wall at a height to suit the observer. It is better to hang a barometer a little too low than too high. The barometer is hung on a bracket, and it then assumes the vertical position. There are three screws at the bottom to fix it, but these should be occasionally unscrewed and refixed, to make sure that the barometer is still hanging truly vertical.

The Marine barometer is fixed on an arm that is either screwed to the wall or slips into a bracket to be screwed to the wall.

III.-Thermometer.

1. With the thermometer we measure the temperature of the air or other media. It consists of a glass reservoir (the bulb), which is joined to a long glass tube of very small bore (the stem). The reservoir is filled with mercury, alcohol, or some other fluid, which also extends into the hollow stem. When the fluid expands with rising temperature, it is very perceptible in the tube, owing to its small bore. The greater the bulb and the finer the bore, the more sensitive is the thermometer-other circumstances equal. The sensibility depends also to a great extent upon the area of the surface of the bulb, for if this is large, the fluid more quickly assumes the temperature of the surrounding medium. Thermometers with spherical bulbs are therefore often more sluggish than those with long cylindrical bulbs.

The stem is divided into degrees. All thermometers used by meteorological observers have the divisions etched on the stem.

There are two divisions fixed with reference to natural phenomena, viz., that at which ice melts and water freezes i. e., 32°.0 Fahrenheit, and that at which water boils at the average atmospheric pressure i. e., 212°.0 Fahrenheit. The scale between those two points is divided into 180 degrees.

In Celsius's thermometer the freezing point is marked 0° and boiling point 100°. In Reaumur's thermometer the freezing point is marked also 0° but boiling point 80°. It is easy to convert thermometer readings expressed in either way to Fahrenheit, but they are not used by meteorological observers in Great Britain and the Colonies.

2. The temperature is registered in degrees and tenths. It is easy to do this, but certain precautions must be taken. The thermometer must be read quickly, and the observer must not be too near, or it will rise owing to the heat radiated from him or from his lamp at night. The eye must be exactly on a level with the top of the column, if it is vertical, or in the vertical plane of the top of the column, if it is horizontal.

The top of the convexity is read in case of a mercurial thermometer, the lowest part of the concavity of the spirit column in case of a spirit thermometer.

3. The maximum thermometer registers the highest temperature attained since it was last set. Two forms of maximum thermometers are used by meteorological observers. In Phillip's maximum a small air-bubble is introduced into the column at from one to two inches from the top. When the mercury contracts with falling temperature the portion beyond the air-bubble is left behind, and records the highest temperature. In Negretti and Zambra's maximum the bore is bent and contracted just above the bulb, which causes the column to break at this point when the mercury begins to contract. It therefore registers the maximum temperature.

884

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH NOVEMBER, 1883.

A maximum thermometer is set by holding it vertically bulb downwards, and shaking it gently, which lets down the detached portion of the mercury. It is well to compare it with the ordinary thermometer after setting, to be sure that it indicates the temperature of the air. Otherwise it is possible that the nearness of the observer may have raised its temperature above the following maximum, which would thus be wrongly recorded. Maximum and minimum thermometers are placed nearly horizontal, but they generally mark best when the bulb is placed about half an inch lower than the top of the tube.

4. The minimum thermometer registers the lowest temperature attained since it was last set. Rutherford's minimum is a spirit thermometer containing immersed in the column a glass pin with a small head at each end. Capillary adherence prevents it leaving the column, even when the thermometer is inverted, and the spirit draws it back with it when it contracts, but passes freely round it when it expands. Hence the upper end of the pin (that farthest from bulb) registers the minimum temperature. It is set by being inverted, when the pin descends till it reaches the column.

The makers endeavour to remedy the sluggishness of the spirit thermometer by giving the bulb the shape of a long cylinder, sometimes divided into two, or other shapes that secure a large surface.

5. The solar radiation thermometer is used for registering the relative amount of radiant heat received from the sun. It consists of a maximum thermometer with blackened bulb exposed to the sun's rays. The lamp-black should cover also a portion of the stem, lest the bulb should be cooled by contact with the colder glass. It is generally enclosed in a larger glass cover, from which the air has been exhausted before it was sealed. It is placed on a stand four feet above the ground, the graduated side of the stem up.

The relative amount of solar radiation is indicated by the difference between the temperature registered, by this thermometer and that registered by the maximum in shade.

6. The grass minimum thermometer registers the cooling of the surface of the earth owing to radiation towards the sky during the night. It consists of an ordinary minimum thermometer placed on an open grass plain, where it may be protected from injury by a wire cover. The grass must be kept constantly cut short.

The relative amount of radiation from the earth is indicated by the difference between the temperature registered by this thermometer and that registered by the minimum air thermometer. Sometimes it is proposed to secure an extra sensitive instrument to serve as minimum on grass, but it is preferable that the two minimum thermometers should be as like each other as possible.

No self-registering thermometers are used on board ship.

7. It is of importance that the errors. of every thermometer used for meteorological observations should be known within a tenth of a degree at all temperatures. This is required even in case of a station where the thermometers are read to the nearest whole degree, for an error of a tenth of a degree would still vitiate the monthly mean temperature. The errors should be determined at a central observatory by careful comparison with its standard thermometer.

The Hongkong Observatory undertakes to furnish corrections to be applied to thermometers sent there by observers who regularly send their registers to the Government Astronomer. It is particularly necessary to have black bulb thermometers verified by comparison with a standard in a central observatory, as the readings are largely affected by the thickness of the lamp-black and the degree of vacuum in the glass.

The glass of the bulb undergoes a contraction for years after it is made, and it is therefore found that a thermometer after some time reads too high even when the corrections are properly applied. The observer may then have to re-de- termine the correction at some temperature. It is generally recommended to verify the freezing point by immersing the thermometer in crushed ice melting in a warm room. Care should be taken to immerse not only the bulb but also as great a part of the stem as possible, at least up to within a few degrees of the freezing point, and the thermometer should remain for some time in the melting ice.

Thermometers should be verified in the same position in which they are to be read. The correction of a thermometer that is placed horizontally can be determined by laying it down flat in a large basin of water, and comparing it with a thermometer whose corrections are known, also immersed in the water. The bulbs should nearly touch each other, and the water should be agitated. It must not be forgotten that one thermometer may be more sluggish than another.

A comparison of thermometers placed side by side in the open air is generally of little use.

8. A thermometer is liable, when carried about, to have its column broken. This does not generally happen to a mercurial thermometer, nnless a minute speck of air has got into the mercury. It is often repaired by holding the ther- mometer, which should be gently heated, vertically in the hand and knocking the hand (not the thermometer) against the table. The air-speck is thus pushed higher up in the column, and when the bulb is subsequently allowed to rest in very cold water it clings to the side of the tube. The operation is to be repeated until the column has passed below the air-speck, which then joins the air in the upper part of the tube, from which air is seldom completely absent. In fact it is an advantage in case of the thermometer that the vacuum should not be perfect.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH NOVEMBER, 1883. 885

But spirit thermometers, especially in cold weather, are liable to have not only their column broken, but to have a part of the spirit evaporated and deposited at the top of the tube. Spirit thermometers should therefore be examined every day to ascertain that there is not a drop of spirit anywhere detached from the column. The drop is sometimes hidden by the brass band that supports the upper part of the tube. The defect is cured either by holding the thermometer vertically in the hand and shaking it, or by grasping it in the right hand by the upper end, holding the bulb downwards, and swinging it quickly round, when the centrifugal force will cause the spirit to leave the top, or by cooling the bulb and heating the upper part of the tube, when the drop is distilled over. The defect is likely to occur again if the thermometer, after being repaired, is not left standing vertically, bulb down- wards, for several hours.

The tube If the black colour of the graduations is washed out, it may be restored by rubbing lamp-black into them. is easily cleaned by rubbing the finger along it. The graduations may also be blackened by rubbing a lead pencil along the tube, but the graphite is soon rubbed out again, especially in wet weather.

IV.-Psychrometer.

1. With the psychrometer we measure the humidity of the atmosphere. This is expressed by stating the quantity of vapour present in the air as a percentage of the greatest amount of water vapour that the air could contain at the existing temperature. The quantity of water vapour that can exist in a certain space, is sensibly the same, whether any other gas is present or not. This quantity increases with the temperature. The temperature of air containing water vapour occasionally falls below the lowest temperature at which it can contain the amount of vapour present. The excess of vapour is then condensed and deposited as dew. Hence that lowest temperature is termed "the dew-point.” The barometrical pressure exercised by the vapour present in the atmosphere is termed "the elastic force of aqueous vapour."

The psychrometer consists of two thermometers. One of them, the dry bulb, indicates the temperature of the air and has been described in the preceeding paragraph. The other, the damp bulb, is covered by a damp piece of fine muslin, and indicates a lower temperature. It is well known that cold is produced by evaporation, and the quicker the evaporation the greater the cold. This is why wet clothes feel cold to the touch. Now therefore the difference between the dry bulb and the damp bulb thermometer at a certain temperature will be greater the less water vapour the air contains, because the cloth dries at a more rapid rate.

2. The damp bulb thermometer should be covered with only one thickness of the finest muslin or cambric. Care must be taken, that the whole of the bulb is covered, and that the cloth fits it tightly. Close above the bulb it should be tied with fine sewing thread and a few threads of lamp-wick passed round the tube at the same place touching the top of the cloth. The wick should be three or four inches long, and should be immersed into and remain in a small glass bottle with narrow neck filled with water and placed to one side (that farthest from the dry bulb) of the damp bulb and one inch below it.

In the hands of ignorant or The damp bulb thermometer requires more attention than the other instruments.

distilled water, careless observers its indications are only misleading. The water in the bottle should be clean rain water, or at any rate well boiled and carefully decanted spring water. But spring water is seldom pure enough even when boiled. It leaves a crust on the bulb, which has to be removed with nitric acid or spirits of salt, because the indications of a thermometer with an encrusted bulb are untrustworthy.

The observer should look at the damp bulb thermometer some time before it is to be read, and satisfy himself that it is damp, but he must take care not to touch the bulb with his finger, or grease will be deposited upon the cloth, which will then not soak up the water. It may be touched with a small camel hair brush. It must not be too wet, or it will indicate the temperature of the water, which is the same as that of the air.

The cloth is changed once a week and the wick washed in pure rain water. It should be entered. in the register that the cloth has been changed. A new piece of muslin that does not properly absorb the water should be rejected and another piece put on.

In case of frost the damp bulb should be covered with a rather thick film of ice. It should be repeatedly dipped in water half an hour before it is to be read, so as to secure its being covered with ice at the time of reading.

If the damp bulb is not in good order at the proper time, the observer should read the dry bulb alone, and when afterwards it has been put right, he may enter in the register in the damp bulb column the dry bulb and the damp bulb read together. The difference between those readings subtracted from the reading of the dry bulb at the time the instruments ought to have been read off, will give a very near approximation to what the damp bulb would have then indicated.

A good plan is to wet the damp bulb some time before observing, and to note the lowest point to which it descends while drying. It is this lowest reading that is to be adopted in determining the humidity.

886

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH NOVEMBER, 1883.

4. It is scarcely necessary to remark, that corrections should be applied to the damp bulb thermometer, the same as to the dry bulb, and both thermometers must be read to the nearest tenth of a degree. In ease the dry bulb is read to only the nearest degree, it is not of much use to read off the damp bulb. The humidity of the atmosphere is then obtained by aid of tables. Those given by Blanford to accompany his "Indian Meteorologist's Vade-Mecum" seem the most convenient.

V. Thermometer-Screen.

salt is generally

pen screen,

1. The correct determination of the temperature of the air is a most difficult problem. In the northern hemisphere, if we place a thermometer shaded by a screen within a certain distance to the south of a house, the result is generally that it reads too high, and on the other hand if placed to the north it will read too low. If we adopt an even if it protects the thermometers from the direct rays of the sun, other objects reflect heat towards them, and at times the rain will wet them and thus prevent their being properly registered. But if a closed screen is adopted, this if made of wood will absorb and retain a portion of the radiant heat. It will keep the thermometers cool in the morning and keep them reading too high at night. While a metal screen, when exposed to the rays of the sun during the day, may reach an abnormally high temperature.

2. It is recommended that in China a screen 2 feet long, 2 feet deep and 2 feet high be selected, the frame being made of wood, while the louvres (double) are made of zinc. The roof should be double. The inner roof should be made of zinc pierced with holes for ventilation. The screen should be painted white and repainted twice a year, it being of great importance that it is clean, so as to reflect light and heat.

The thermometers are fixed by screws on uprights. Their bulbs must be exactly four feet above the ground. The bulb of the minimum must be exactly on a level with the dry and damp bulb. The screen is placed on an open grass plot, and the grass should be kept trimmed short. If it is considered absolutely necessary, it may be furnished with a brass lock and key,

VI.-Rain-gauge.

1. With the rain-gauge we measure the depth of precipitation of dew, rain, snow, hail, &c. It consists of a funnel, whose circumference is exactly circular, and a receiving vessel. The diameter of the funnel is generally either 5 or 8 inches. If the funnel should meet with an accident, such as a blow or a squeeze, that puts it out of shape, it should be at once rejected.-Copper rain-gauges are the best.

2. The rain is collected in a can through a spout, and is measured in inches, tenths and hundredths in a glass, which is graduated according to the diameter of the rain-gauge. The measuring glass is very narrow and magnifies the depth of rain, so that it can be correctly measured. The pouring from the receiving vessel into the measuring glass requires some care, and should be done over a large dish, so as to catch any that may be spilled. The measuring glass of course cannot be used for a rain-gauge of different dimensions.

3. Judgment is required in selecting a proper site for a rain-gauge. It should be on the ground. It should not be placed on top of a house, as there are grave objections to roof rain-gauges. The gauge should preferably be situated on an open grass plot, as far as possible removed from buildings, trees and other objects, and care should be taken that no bushes or weeds are allowed to grow near it.

The funnel should be one foot above ground. Snow or hail are measured by thawing the quantity collected in the gauge.

The duration of precipitation in hours are to be registered according to the best ability of the observer.

VII.-Wind.

1. A wind-vane consists of a balanced pointer, one end of which exposes a broad surface to the wind, while the other points towards the direction whence the wind is coming. To the rod on top of which the pointer revolves a cross is fixed, the arms of which indicate the four cardinal points, which must be adjusted by compass to true (not magnetic) north. The direction of the wind is easily estimated to within two points: N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, sw, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW.

If the direction of the wind has changed much since last observation, it should be registered whether it has veered, i.e., changed with the sun, or backed, i.e., changed against the sun, or suddenly shifted.

The place selected should be as high and as exposed to the wind as possible, but the vane requires to be frequently oiled, and even then the direction of a light breeze is better ascertained by noting the direction from which smoke from a high chimney is carried, or by aid of a light piece of cambric fixed on a pole.

2. The force of the wind is estimated according to Beaufort's Scale (0-12). After a little exercise very satisfactory

results

may be attained by mere estimation, but the observer must not be deceived by gusts of wind. He should note the average direction and force of the wind prevailing from about ten minutes before to about ten minutes after the time for which it is registered. In case of a typhoon the extreme force of the wind since last observation should be also registered.

VIII.-Clouds.

1. Water vapour when condensed forms into minute drops of water, which if at the level of the ground appear as fog, but if at a higher level are called cloud. Clouds and fog have the property of reflecting light, but the same cloud that dazzles the eyes of the observer in one place, may at the same time, if thick and heavy enough, obscure the light and present a gloomy and threatening appearance at another place. Observations of clouds are of great interest, as they show us what takes place in the upper regions of the atmosphere.

2. The nebulosity i.e., the amount of clouds, is expressed in parts (0-10) of the whole sky. O means no clouds, while 10 indicates that the whole sky is covered. In noting the nebulosity be careful not to be led astray by a certain optical delusion. The sky does not to us look like a sphere. Overhead it seems nearer to us, so that objects, such as for instance the moon, look much larger when near the horizon than they do when high in the sky. registering the average amount of clouds during a past period, and also for weather telegraphy, a less exact notation is adopted: b, blue sky, indicates, that at most 2 tenths are covered, c, detached clouds, that between 3 and 7 tenths are covered, i.e., that it is roughly speaking half overcast, while o, overcast, indicates that at least three quarters of the sky are covered.

3. The direction whence the clouds come should be carefully observed. It is of special importance to note the direction from which the upper clouds (clouds of the cirrus type) come. If the clouds are high in the sky, this is easily noted. The observer should so place himself as to have some fixed object, such as a projecting corner of a house, a chimney, or a flag staff between his eye and a recognisable portion of the cloud. If a window is situated exactly to the north, south, east, or west, the cloud may be observed through it with advantage. But if no part of the cloud is high in the sky, or is travelling directly towards 'or from the observer, the effects of perspective render it in the beginning somewhat difficult to estimate the direction, but an observer who takes an interest in the subject soon learns to estimate it properly.

If clouds appear to be moving very fast, a note to that effect should be entered in the register.

4. The form of clouds should be entered, as they are seen at the time of observing. Clouds exist at very different levels in the atmosphere, but certain forms, which consist of ice crystals, are usually found at a very high level, while others, consisting of minute particles of water, are nearer to the surface of the earth. The different varieties of cirrus are upper clouds, all the others lower. The lower clouds usually move in the same direction as the wind, but the upper clouds often from a quite different quarter. It is of very great importance that the direc- tion whence the upper clouds are coming should be registered.

•

888 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH NOVEMBER, 1883.

5. Cirrus (c.) is the finest and most lofty of all the clouds. It looks like hair, thread or feathers, and is often called "mare's tails."

Cirro-cumulus (c-cum.) is also a high cloud, but is more rounded in form than the former. It looks like small woolly tufts. If regularly arranged in ripple-like layers it is known as "Mackerel sky.”

Cirro-stratus (c-str.) form a sheet of uniform thickness very high up in the atmosphere. They are often seen în long straight streaks, that appear to emerge from a point of the horizon. When covering the whole sky they form a sort of vapourous transparent veil. These clouds descend often at a rapid rate and are changed into lower forms. They are an infallible sign of bad weather. It is in them that solar and lunar halos are seen.

Sometimes cirrus is visible as a milky and evidently very lofty haze, which is termed "cirrus-haze.”

6. Stratus (str.) is also a layer of cloud of uniform thickness generally. It has little variety of shade and belongs essentially to the lower regions of the atmosphere. When it appears at a high level it is sometimes mistaken for c-str. from which it differs by being an ascending cloud (lifted fog) that presages fine weather.

7. Cumulus (cum.) consists of rounded heaps like enormous bas of wool. They are frequently seen out the horizon at sunset or sunrise in the shape of mountains of dazzling whiteness and fantastic shapes.

Small-cumulus (sm.-cum.) are small white cumulus.

Roll-cumulus (R.-cum.) is formed by cumulus clouds of cylindrical shape lying in long horizontal rolls. If closely packed they hide the blue sky and give it the appearance of the curtains of a theatre.

Cumulo-stratus (cum.-str.) is a cumulus dark and flat at its base traversed by horizontal streaks of dark cloud. 8. Nimbus (nim.) is a rain cloud. When it has overspread the whole sky it is frequently so mixed up with and concealed by the falling rain that it assumes a uniform dark appearance.

Cumulo-nimbus (cum.-nim.) consists of cumulus, that has lost its whiteness and fine round shape. Lying closer and with less defined outlines they look like dull grey masses. Still their height is considerable, and no rain falls from them. If there are upper clouds visible above the lower, they should be noted thus:, meaning cirrus above cumulus, and their direction thus: meaning that the clouds come from N.E., while the lower come from S.W.

IX.—Weather.

1. The weather registered should refer to that which exists at the time of observation. The weather since last observation is entered in a different column.

The following abbreviations are used:-

a. For a. m.

b. Blue sky, i.e. less than a quarter covered with clouds.

c. Detached clouds, i.e. about half clouded.

d. Drizzling rain.

f. Fog or mist.

g. Gloomy, threatening.

h. Hail.

7. Lightning, but no thunder heard.

lt. Lightning and thunder.

o. Overcast, i.e. at least three quarters of the sky are clouded.

p. Passing showers.

For

p. m.

q. Squally.

r. Rain.

8. Snow.

t. Thunder, but no lightning seen.

v. Unusual visibility of distant objects.

w. Dew (wet).

A great intensity of a phenomenon is indicated by underlining the symbol.

By combining these letters the weather is indicated, e. g. cgl indicates that the sky is about half clouded and presents

a threatening appearance, and that flashes of lightning are seen.

In case of thunder or lightning it is well to note in what direction it is noticed.

2. A note should be made also of other phenomena, such as solar or lunar crowns (diameter from two to ten times the diameter of the moon), halos (diameter equal to about one eighth of the circumference of the horizon), single and double rainbows, mirage, &c. Hoarfrost should be also registered as well as dust-storms.

2. Smooth.

3. Slight.

4. Moderate.

5. Rather rough.

6. Rough.

7. High.

8. Very high.

9. Mountainous.

XI.-Time of Observation.

1. The hours of observation adopted in tropical regions are 10a, 4p and 10p (local mean time), which must be adopted at all stations for the sake of uniformity. From readings taken at these hours a near approximation to the average values of the meteorological elements can be deduced.

The instruments are read in some Chinese harbours and lighthouses every three hours beginning with midnight. If made in an honest and careful manner such registers are most valuable.

At sea the instruments are read every two hours beginning with midnight.

During typhoons the readings may with advantage be taken every hour.

If from any cause a reading is taken either too early or too late, the precise minute at which it was taken should be entered.

If a reading has been omitted, a line should be drawn in the space for it. A gap is better than a deceptive entry.

In case the observer is himself unavoidably prevented from making the observation at the proper time, he may entrust some other competent individual with making it, but the name of the observer should then be stated at every observation made by him.

2. The order in which the entries are generally made is as follows:-

SUNKEN ROCK OFF PINE ISLETS, NORTHUMBERLAND GROUP.

Notice is hereby given, that a sunken danger (Edith Rock) has been reported by Mr. Till-who lives on No. 2 Percy Island-to lie about 1 mile N.W. N. from the extreme N.E. point of the Pine Islets, and with that point in line with the first high hill North of Hixson Point.

At low-water springs, the rock has only 2 feet of water over it, with 10 fathoms alongside to the northward. It is about 60 feet across the top, and slopes away to the southward.

This danger is in the track of vessels from the northward beating up to the anchorage under No. 2 Percy Island, and there are indications of more foul ground further to the northward.

HONGKONG OBSERVATORY, 22nd November, 1883.

SIR,-While lately engaged on a meteorological mission, I availed myself of the opportunity to make some magnetic observations, more especially as this branch of science, which is of so vital importance to navigation, is not supported anywhere in China, with the exception of Zi Ka Wei, near Shanghai, where the Jesuit Fathers have a first class magnetic observatory.

2. The observations of the Dip of the magnetic needle in Hongkong were made at the Public Gardens, the magnetic hut attached to the observatory not being yet erected. The observation in Swatow on the 10th October was made at the British Consulate, on the 3rd November, at the English Presbyterian Mission's Compound. The observations in Amoy were made in the garden attached to the residence of the Commissioner of Customs. In Takow they were made at the Custom House, and. at South Cape (Formosa) in a sheltered spot near the lighthouse.

EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO.

Sunda Strait-Navigation of; Also Lights.

With reference to Notice to Mariners, No. 254 (Preliminary), of 1st September 1883, on volcanic eruptions having taken place in Sunda strait, the charts of the locality being in consequence quite unreliable, and the lights destroyed :-

Further telegraphic information has been received from the Netherlands Government, through the Foreing Office, that the Great channel of Sunda strait is probably unchanged; but the channels between Krakatoa and Sebooko islands are blocked, and there is much floating pumice.

Also, that First point light, Java, is uninjured. A provisional light, visible about 12 miles, is shown from Flat cape (Vlakken hoek), Sumatra-the permanent light will probably be re-exhibited on or about the 17th September; Fourth point light, Java, is destroyed.

Precautionary measures are being taken by the Authorites, and Netherlands vessels of war will cruise for three months in entrances of Sunda strait to warn vessels.

Also, further telegraphic information, dated 12th September, has been received stating that the navigation of Sunda strait is now provisionally secured.

His Excellency is advised that, in the absence of rules guiding the Justices in a matter of this nature, you should observe in conducting the proceedings the following rules, based on Parliamentary practice in England

HEREAS The Honourable FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON, of Victoria, Hongkong, merchant, is desirous of constructing, with the consent of the Crown, piers and wharves in the harbour of Victoria, for purposes in relation to the loading, discharging, and storing of cargo; And whereas the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON has applied to the Government of the Colony, to confer upon him the necessary powers for carrying out the construction of such piers and wharves, by means of a public Ordinance, and it is expedient that such an Ordinance should be granted to the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON, under and subject to the conditions, restrictions and provisions hereinafter contained: Be it therefore enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. It shall be lawful for the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his executors, administrators or assigns, to construct and maintain for his and their exclusive use, wharves between high and low-water mark, and piers extending into the harbour of Victoria, at and from any part or parts of that portion of the public Praya which lies directly opposite to the pieces or parcels of ground regis- tered in the Land Office of the Colony, as Marine Lots 95, 96, 97 and 98 respectively.

2. The said wharves and piers shall be constructed in accordance with plans and specifications to be approved by the Governor in Council.

3. The said FRANCIS BULKELLY JOHNSON his executors, administrators or assigns may, from time to time, make any alterations-in, or additions to, the said harves and piers, provided the same be in accordance with plans and specifications to be approved by the Governor in Council.

急

4. It shall be lawful for the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his executors, administrators or assigns, from time to time to lay down, maintain, and renew sunken and overhead tramways, or either of such tramways from the piers and wharves, across the public Praya connecting the wharves and piers with the premises of the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his executors, administrators or as- signs, situated on the Marine Lots aforesaid or adjoining the same: Provided that all such tramways shall be laid in accordance with a specification to be approved by the Governor in Council.

5. The said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his executors, administrators or assigns shall cause to be affixed on the said wharves and piers, and to be exhibited from sunset to sunrise, such lights as the Harbour Master may from time to time direct.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 29TH DECEMBER, 1883. 985

said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his executors, admi- nistrators or assigns, limiting a time for the performance of his or their duty in that behalf, and if such duty is not performed by the time limited by the order, the Governor in Council shall appoint some person or persons to perform the same, and shall by order direct that the expenses of performing the same, together with a reasonable remuneration to the person or persons appointed for superintending such performance, and amounting to a sum to be specified in the order, together with the costs of proceedings (if any), shall be paid by the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his executors, administrators or assigns, and any order made for the payment of such expenses and costs may be removed into the Supreme Court, and may be enforced in the same manner as if the same were an order of such Court.

8. All vessels belonging to, or engaged in the service of Her Majesty's Government shall have priority of use of the wharves and piers at the ordinary current rates for mercantile vessels, without prejudice to the rights of other vessels actually using the wharves or piers.

9. It shall be lawful for the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his executors, administrators or assigns, from time to time to make such rules and regulations as may be necessary for the general management of his and their business. Provided always that no such rules and regula- tions, nor any repeal or variation thereof, shall come into force until the same shall have been approved by the Governor in Council, and shall have been published in the Gazette.

10. Every person who shall commit a breach of any of the rules and regulations made in pursuance of this Ordinance, shall, on summary conviction thereof before a Magistrate, be liable to a fine not exceeding fifty dollars.

11. In all proceedings before any Court, the rules and regulations in force for the time being under this Ordi- nance, shall be sufficiently proved by the production of a copy of the Gazette in which the same shall be published and contained.

12. If the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his exe- cutors, administrators or assigns shall fail to make or vary such rules and regulations, as in the opinion of the Governor In Council are requisite for the protection of the rights of the inhabitants of the Colony, and for the preven- tion of injury to navigation, the Governor in Council shall make an order to be served upon the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON, his executors, administrators, or assigns, limiting a time for the making or varying of such rules and regulations, and if such rules and regulations are not made or varied by the time prescribed in such order, the Governor in Council may make or vary such rules and regulations, which when made, or varied, and published in the Gazette, shall have the same force and effect as if they were specially enacted hercin.

13. The said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his exe- cutors, administrators or assigns shall, from time to time, cause to be painted on boards, or to be printed and attached in large and legible characters in English and Chinese, a statement of the rules and regulations in force, and shall cause such boards containing such statement to be fixed on some conspicuous part of the wharves or piers.

14. If at any time before the completion of the works, the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his executors, ad- ministrators or assigns shall fail to proceed therewith for a period of six months, or after the completion thereof shall disuse the same, or any part thereof for six months, without affording to the Governor in Council some satisfactory reason for the discontinuance or disuse of the said works, (as the case may be), it shall be lawful for the Governor in Council to abate and remove the same, and restore the site thereof to its former condition at the costs of the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his executors, administrators or assigns, and the amount of such costs shall be a debt due to the Government, and recoverable against the said FRANCIS BULKELEY JOHNSON his executors, administrators or assigns accordingly.

HEREAS CATCHICK PAUL CHATER Esq., of Vic- toria, Hongkong, Bill and Bullion Broker, is de- sirous of constructing, with the consent of the Crown, piers and wharves in the harbour of Victoria, for purposes in re- lation to the leading-discharging, and storing of cargo; And whereas the said CATCHICK PAUL CHATER has applied to the Government of the Colony, to confer upon him the necessary powers for carrying out the construction of such piers and wharves, by means of a public Ordinance, and it is expedient that such an Ordinance should be granted to the said CATCHICK PAUL CHATER, under and subject to the conditions, restrictions and provisions hereinafter contained: Be it therefore enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. It shall be lawful for the said CATCHICK PAUL CHATER his executors, administrators or assigns, to construct and maintain, for his and their exclusive use, wharves between high and low-water mark, and piers extending into the har- bour of Victoria, at and from any part or parts of that portion of land which lies directly opposite to the pieces or parcels of ground registered in the Land Office of the Colo- ny as Kaulung Marine Lots Nos. 9, 11, 20 and 21 res- pectively.

2. The said wharves and piers shall be constructed in accordance with plans and specifications to be approved by the Governor in Council.

4. It shall be lawful for the said CATCHICK PAUL CHATER his executors, administrators or assigns, from time to time to lay down, maintain and renew sunken and over- head tramways, or either of such tramways from the piers and wharves, across the Praya connecting the wharves and piers with the premises of the said CATCHICK PAUL CHATER his executors, administrators or assigns, situated on the Kaulung Lots aforesaid or adjoining the same. Provided that all such tramways shall be laid in accordance with a specification to be approved by the Governor in Council.

6. The said CATCHICK PAUL CHATER his executors, administrators or assigns shall take such measures as may be necessary to prevent silting or the accumulation of mud, sand, or other matter around the wharves and piers, and - shall conform to such regulations as the Governor in Council may deem it expedient to make for the preventing obstruction to the traffic of the Praya.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial, Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language of China, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.
