"I have seen water birds at Harbin & Hong Kong elsewhere in China. The British influence at Sunaton is strong. They have a Post Office of their own + various port officials + many English signs are seen on the shops. The steamers in the harbour were all British. Night clear with full moon, sea dead calm. In the harbor were 8 gray ships moored at [illegible] point. 16 Reached Amoy at 7 a.m. - Country very similar to Sunaton. Across from the city of Amoy is a rocky hill with great dark granite boulders topping it. Trees grow between the rocks + large houses reared their white or terra cotta colored walls amid the green trees. Hundreds of junks with rice waiting [illegible] were moored along the waterfront of the city. Went ashore on the European Island and visited the King George.
