This includes only the trade carried in foreign bottoms, but independently of it there is a large business done by native craft, which come under the notice of the local native authorities, statistics of which, if they exist, are not procurable. That this latter, however, is very considerable, is proved by the number of deeply-laden junks met with on the river. The value of the exports was 6,330/., of which 98/., represent- ing 267 lbs. of raw silk, composed the direct shipments abroad, namely, to Hong-Kong, while goods to the value of 6,232/. went forward to Wuchow.

“...the fact that guard-boats are stationed every 10 li (3 miles) along the river banks, attacks by armed gangs both ashore and afloat are continually occurring. No junks go unarmed, and some of them bristle with antiquated cannon, in the fond hope of their striking terror to marauders, but apparently without much effect.
