no doubt, Black pigs & Pariah dogs were everywhere on the streets. The dogs are said to be without owners & live about the city anywhere. I saw a few of the men in swim- suits in the harbour but this is a recent art & few of them are able to swim all tho they live on the rivers in junks. The women never come near the water to bath. The men & boys go half clothed but the women & girls never do being more careful in this regard than the Japanese. A tiger was recently killed on the Burpen Island which it swam one morning from Amoy Island. It was herd calling & late chased into a narrow street between two houses & shot from a house top by the Chief of Police. One was recently shot on Hong Kong Island also which it reached by swimming,
