SIR,

I. — I AM directed by the Inspector General to acknowledge receipt of

your despatch No. 1,536 :

Reporting District Occurrences for January :

and to say that as the Commanders of our Revenue Steamers must by this time
have become familiar with the navigation round about Hongkong knowing the —
merits and the disadvantages of the various anchorages, the set of tides, etc., etc.,

notes should be kept by them recording their experience in these and kindred
matters ; and from their notes some kind of memorandum should be drawn up for

the use and guidance of our vessels.

Sib,

In your despatch No. 933 you expressed a wish that the Captains of the cruisers
stationed in this district should send in Reports regarding the various anchorages which they
regarded as safe in times of storm or typhoon in the waters round about Hongkong. Your
instructions were carried out at the time, and I now enclose copies of the Reports received from
Captain Wtles (Chuentiao), Captain Stewart (Kaipan), and Acting Captain Ross (Likvn).

The chart forwarded to you in my despatch No. 2,208 will serve to illustrate these
Reports.

SlE,

In accordance with your letter of 13th' May, -— -j--— . I ^^E to forward the
following remarks about our anchorages round Hongkong :

—
Good anchorage aU the year round in 3I to 4 fathoms of water, and mud

bottom. The tide is only felt as rise and fall in the bay. The pass between Lantao and
Changchow is weU observed from this anchorage. There is plenty of fresh water; provisions
may be bought here for the Native crew.

West Lamma Bay affords good anchorage during the north-east monsoon in 6 fathoms
of water, with mud bottom. During the summer months it is too open to south-westerly gales
to be used with safety on account of heavy swell. The tide runs north and south in West
Lamma Channel at the rate of i to i| knots. A vessel stationed here has the entire control
over the whole West Lamma Channel. In the little bay on the north-west point of Lamma is

frequently seen a Canton gun-boat.

Picnic Bay gives good shelter in aU winds.

Anchorage in 6 to 7 fathoms of water,
with George Island Pass just shut in and Stanley Bay well open of east point of Lamma. The
tide runs north-west and south-east in East Lamma Channel ; maximum speed, about 2 knots.
This anchorage is exceptionally good for watching Sulphur Channel, Aberdeen, and Stanley Bay
at all times. Fresh water is obtainable.

—
Bays on south end of Lam/ma. I do not consider the two small bays on south end and
south-east end of Lamma Island good anchorages, being too open to south-westerly, southerly,
and easterly winds. There is rocky bottom, with 4 to 5 fathoms more water than given in
the charts.

Putoy Island. —The little bay on south-west end is a good place for watching any boats
attempting to go through Shingshimun Pass ; it is, however, very much exposed to a heavy swell
even during the north-east monsoon, and is quite unsafe during the summer months. It should
not be used except in very fine weather. Castle Rock, open in the pass on the west-south-west

side, gives 150 yards all round off the beach and 6 fathoms of water, with sand bottom.
 TYPHOON ANCHORAGES. 5

Sunkong. — I have been at anchor off the south-easterly end of the island during the
summer months in 20 fathoms of water, with rocky bottom ; it is a somewhat dangerous place
for a vessel, being too exposed to wind and sea from all directions. The tide runs east and
west at a rate of 3 to 3 J knots. There are 5 to 6 fathoms more water round Sunkong and
Waglan than represented in the chart.

Fotaumun Pass. —The best place for a vessel to anchor is opposite the joss-house on the
mainland, in 6 fathoms of water. She will then be able to watch Tathong Channel as far as
Putoy, also Fotaumun Pass. The tide through this pass is very strong. Fresh water may be
found here at times.

Bay inside Steep Island and Trio Islets (north of Fotaumun Pass) is a splendid
anchorage during the south-west monsoon, but entirely open to easterly gale and swell. There
are 8 fathoms of water, with mud bottom. It is a good place for watching boats passing the
Nine Pins or going to the numerous bays to the north. The tide is not felt in this bay.

I have, etc.,

Sir,

I have the honour to report, in compliance with your instructions contained in

despatch j^ , dated 13th May 1891, with reference to forwarding a summary of information

relative to the merits of the different anchorages round Hongkong Island, as follows :

Laichikok. —Cheungshawan ^ j^)

makes an excellent anchorage in all weathers,

and is recognised as a typhoon anchorage. In bad weather the steam-pinnace can be moored
with safety close to Shamshuipo (^ tJc Jf). Laichikok Bay is rather too exposed to the

is a

Fotochoiv. —This anchorage is recognised as an excellent place to anchor during a

typhoon ; the steam-pinnace can be sent to the head of the bay, north of Junk Island, where she
will be perfectly safe. (The marks for a good anchorage for a vessel are to the northward of
Junk Island, with Collinson Light just open of west point Junk Island, in about 4I fathoms.)
Anchorage between Junk Island and Slope Island in 6 or 7 fathoms is fairly good in most
weathers.

Fotaumun. —Joss House Bay makes an excellent anchorage, but one that cannot be
adopted in stormy weather, as a heavy sea through the Fotaumun and up the Tathong

*****
rolls in

Channel.

After a heavy north-east gale Fotaumun (pass) should be entered with great caution, as

a bank of shingle is often thrown up, which is afterwards washed away by the tides.

—
Changchow and south of Hongkong. The west bay of Changchow makes a very good
anchorage in nearly all weathers, and has frequently been used as a typhoon anchorage, though

it is not recommended, for the number of junks that arrive there at the last moment for shelter

renders the anchorage less safe, as they are liable to drift on to the vessel. (On the approach
of a typhoon it is advisable to hoist steam-pinnace and make for Cheungshawan.)
Lamma West Bay makes a very good anchorage during the north-east monsoon only.

Picnic Bay makes a very good anchorage for preventive purposes. In the event of
bad weather the steam-pinnace can be moored at the head of the bay with safety, but the bay
itself is not recommended as a typhoon anchorage for any vessel.

Lukchauwan makes an excellent typhoon anchorage, for, though open to the north-east,
the tide breaks the sea. (We lay there during the last two weeks very comfortably.) The
steam-pinnace can easily be sent round to the head of Picnic Bay.

Putoy Bay can only be used as an anchorage during the north-east monsoon, and in fine

weather during the south-west monsoon.

—This

*****
Lochau Bay. little bay, situated to the south-west of the island, might be used as
a shelter for launches. It is open to the south-west, and with the wind from that direction a
considerable sea gets up. The water shoals gradually from 9 fathoms towards the small sandy
beach, with a sandy bottom.

Castle Peak Bay. —The anchorage usually adopted by us has been with Castle Peak
bearing N. 34° W. (magnetic), distant if miles; but it is not a good anchorage during bad
weather: even during a strong north-east monsoon it is very uncomfortable, owing to the sea
that gets up, and during a typhoon it would be unsafe to remain. The nearest safe anchorage
in a typhoon is south of the Brothers (Kocky Islets in one with Castle Peak, and east point of
West Brother in one with south-west point of Castle Peak Peninsula), in 6 to 6^ fathoms of
water; when this anchorage is used the steam-pinnace would have to be hoisted or sent
to Chin wan.
Yamo Bay makes a fairly good anchorage, but is not recommended as a typhoon
anchorage for either pinnace or vessel.

ENCLOSURE No. 3.

Revenue Steamer "Likin,"

KowLOON Bat, 2T,rd May 1891.

Sir,

In reply to your despatch of 13th May, requesting the Commanders to give their
experience of the various anchorages, etc., in the neighbourhood of Hongkong, I beg to offer

the following observations :

—
Laichikok (^ ]^ ^). A good typhoon anchorage, being sheltered from all points
except the westward, which is slightly exposed.
is very good, and being anchored in 3f fathoms, with Chunghue
The holding ground
(W ^) PeEik bearing
f N. W.
(magnetic), distant 2 miles and 6 cables, I venture to say would
be the most suitable both for preventive service and the safety of the ship in case of bad
weather; any closer to the north side would not permit of giving the ship a long scope of
cable, as the bank below the new Custom House is well known to be extending in a south-

easterly direction.

The tides are irregular, being affected both by change of wind and the flow of water from
the Canton River.

With the ship anchored in the above position, an effective patrol could be kept up by
the ship's boats between Chunghue (^ ^^c) Rock and the White Hulk, to be continued to Sham-
shuipo (^ ift JM). to the eastward, and Lantao (^ ^ llj). to the westward. In the event of a
launch not being stationed in the neighbourhood, a longer beat than this would not be advisable
for the steam-cutter of one cruiser.

» * « « *

Kowloon Bay (^ f| j^). —Likewise a good sheltered anchorage, with firm holding ground,
although not such a good typhoon anchorage as Laichikok (^ ^ ^), on account of the sea
that is likely to get up in heavy weather.
The best anchorage is in 3^ fathoms water, with the Kowloon Rock in a line with the
south-east extreme of the Kowloon Peninsula, and the obelisk bearing W. by N. J N. (magnetic)
this places the ship just inside Chinese waters, and gives room for veering cable in heavy
weather.

The tides are not very strong in this part of the bay, the ship being more frequently
swung by wind than tide.

The present line of demarcation between British and Chinese waters, as marked by the
flag, is not, I consider, satisfactory.
 TYPHOON ANCHOKAGES. 9

Fotochow (-j^ B^ |m).'-.In connexion -with this station the best anchorage for a cruiser
is undoubte(lly oif the joss-house, to the north-east of Slope Island (|^ '^\), in about 4f fathoms

the holding ground is good, and the position an excellent one for preventive service, as the ship's
boats are within easy approach of the station, and can command the Fotaumun Pass (^ 5g f^)
and the Chinese waters of the Tathong (;^ J^ f^) Channel, and observe craft from Taitam
(A M) ^*y bound eastward.
I cannot speak with any authority on the tides, as I have not been stationed there for

any length of time.

Putoy (-J^ J). —The anchorage in the little bay south-west of Putoy is not to be recom-
mended, although cruisers have on three or four occasions anchored there.

With the wind north-east and fine weather, one can anchor, with a short scope of chain,
about 1 1 cables from the shore in the centre of the bay, keeping the Castle Rock (|^ ^) in
line with the centre of the pass between Putoy (^ J) and the little island to the south-west

of it ; but should the wind shift or the sea get up, it would be necessary to move to some other
anchorage, as it would not be possible to give the ship more chain.

From a preventive point of view the position is good, as the ship, being only visible from
north-north-west to south-south-west, would be in a position to intercept, with the steam-
cutter, junks passing through the Shingshimun Pass (^ ^ f^) and between Lochau (i^ ^)
and Putoy.
Picnic Bay (^ j^ j^). —This is a good anchorage in moderate weather, affording good
holding ground and shelter from all points but the north-east.

Green Island Lighthouse open with George Island

*****
Anchored in 7 or 8 fathoms, with

(M M ff)'
^^^ about 3 cables from either side of the bay, gives opportunity of veering cable
in heavy weather ; but it would not be advisable to ride out a typhoon here, as a big sea would
get up. It is particularly well sheltered from the south-west monsoon.

The tides are not very regular.

West Lamma Bay (HI ^). —This is a good anchorage in the north-east monsoon, and the
bay is sufficiently large to pick your own position. Strong squalls occasionally come down at
the end of the north-east monsoon, which increase as they pass over the narrow neck of land

which divides

10 TYPHOON ANCHORAGES.

Changchow (^g ^). —The

harbour of Changchow, being a Customs station, is so well
known that it is hardly necessary to describe the anchorage, which is about 3| fathoms and
J of a mUe west of the centre of the bay.
The holding ground is good, but as to the position to be taken up one would have to

be guided by the amount of shippiag, there being a number of large junks always at anchor.
It is one of the best places for watering ship all the year round.
It would not be advisable to ride out a typhoon here, on account of the amount of
shipping that would be liable to foul the ship, and there is not much protection from the wind.

Castle Peak Bay (^ f^). —The usual anchorage in this place is about the centre of the
bay, in 3 1 fathoms. This puts the ship in a good position for embarking and disembarking
searching parties, as the steamers generally pass close to Pillar Point.
It is an open anchorage, not much sheltered in the south-west monsoon, but the holding
ground is good.

—
Yamo Bay (|^ ^). If the cruiser is on preventive service to intercept junks that may
have evaded the Capsuimoon (^ ^
f^) station, this bay is generally the anchorage selected.
The bay is not so well sheltered in the north-east as in the south-west monsoon.
Entering the bay with Dome Hill south-south-west (magnetic), a vessel can stand on
untn the north extreme of the little island on your right is in line with the south extreme of
East Brother (f ^ |g) ; a good anchorage will then be found in 4 to $ fathoms.

In conclusion, I would like to remark that it is impossible to give any reliable information
on the tides, as without special iastruments, tide poles, etc., and most careful observation at
regular hours, night and day, accurate data cannot be compiled.
