No.55. Trade brings many foreigners to Canton and the Chinese offer themselves as guides to the thousands of small islands, through which they know every passage. These boats are easy to handle and give foreigners a favourable impression of Chinese shipping, which, in general, is fine when the vessel is small in size.
