middle, where the Canton river bursts the confines of its banks and
plunges into the sea. The lips of this mouth of the river are everted

eastern lip hangs the Island of Hong Kong, separated from the mainland

peninsula of Kowloon, ceded to the British with the island of Hong

eighty miles from Hong Kong, is the city of Canton.

in the mouth of the Canton river, floating up and down that stream,
and sailing about Hong Kong and Macao in the more open sea.
