As we were leaving Hong Kong the search lights from a war vessel swept over our decks every five minutes. This boat & the ferry are the only ones allowed to move into harbor after sunset. 21 At daylight we entered the Canton shipping + as we neared the Bund the river boats in great numbers were already active. The many stacked buildings give Canton quite an imposing foreign appearance from the river front. After alighting directly off on the boat I went ashore & looked about with Victoria Hotel directly in Shawneen, the European division on an island of the riverside.
