27 On the late B Mardinsel the custom house. They have a good library among Sardin magazines. In the goods shed they have a series of samples of all producing food products, textiles etc which pass thru. I saw here for the first time the edible for bird's nest. The nest was runner shaped & flat on the side where it had been attached to a wall. It was opaque creamy cream color & without any disagreeable or fishy odor. Shark fins found & transparent amber color were here also. Passing down the customs, I saw 2 pair of Sardin horns in the welved about half grown ones. These are very valuable for medicine & worth when fresh 50 taels. When hard they have no value considered practically & fully grown horns are only worth 1 tael a pair. Several bundles of currentlyoc skins were also among them
