In modern maps, there is a town on the northern shore of this river, named Tsing-Kiang, which may possibly be the Singui of Marco, and we may perhaps look for the Sian-fu of the Polos at Yang-tcheou, at the southern extremity of a chain of lakes immediately to the north of the river Kian-ku.

FIRST MISSION TO CHINATHE YANGTZE KIANG.

[Sidenote: Kew-kiang.

We have before us in sight the pagoda of Kew- kiang; one of the principal points which we proposed to reach when we embarked on this expedition....

Five P.M.We found a channel in about an hour, and came on swimmingly to Kew-kiang.

It seems to have suffered even more than Chin-kiang Foo.

A Buddhist priest, whom I saw at Kew-kiang, said that the Rebels had destroyed some forty temples there.

Four P.M.At about one we had passed the village of Hwang-shih-kiang,

Two P.M.We have anchored below Kew-kiang, at the spot where we anchored on November 30th.

Yesterday the Prefect of Kew-kiang came on board the 'Furious.'

Ho, the Governor-General of the Two Kiang; the Tautai of this port; and the Treasurer of the district, all well-disposed to foreigners, have been gradually removed from the councils of the Commissioners.

Four P.M.We have passed out of the Shanghae river into the Yangtze-kiang.

It lies in the China Sea; its capital is Kiang-tchou.

At a distance of six hundred paces from the shore of the 'Yang-tse-Kiang' is the wonderful Island of Chin-shan, or 'Golden Mountain.'

On the evening of the 20th of August I bade Canton, and all my friends there, farewell; and at 9 o'clock I was once again floating down the Si-Kiang, or Pearl stream, famous for the deeds of horror perpetrated on it.

At certain intervals are little bamboo sheds, where travellers rest on their journey, smoking a pipe and drinking tea for refreshment; while at the summit of the pass is an immense portal, or kind of triumphal arch, erected on the boundary line of the two Provinces of Quang-tong and Kiang-si.
