29 Feb. 12. Crosobar. Vegetable gardens growing on beach sand. Water is obtained from wells. Men carrying pigs to market in baskets on the rear of bicycles. Waterbuffaloes but short horned, quite different from those seen in Bangkok. Fish culture ponds where the fish, the "black hat" is reared. It has a yellow oil in its head, according to "Blacks" our driver. The oil is steamed out for its vitamins. The flesh is also good. The fish feed on algae & cooked rice. The fish have black color on top of their head hence the name. Saw huts or stilts. Stopped at Yuen Long (Un Long), a small town, for photography. At Lok Ma Chau we stopped for a look at Communist China. A river with fence marks the dividing line. We could see the city of Shuen Chun over the border. Boats come down the Peal River for trade with Hong Kong. There is active trade going on between Communist China & the pkt city. Refugees are allowed into Hong Kong at the rate of 50 a day. Saw people digging out olmbake (illegible) dark soil for transport to town when it is sold for fertiliser. Tened rice fields. In the afternoon to the afternoon we took the ferry to Hong Kong delayed and photographed Chinese women working mixing cement.
