SOME OBSERVATIONS IN CHINA
RV SAILOR

Some observations made in China
by B. w. Smith of the Shanghai
navy "Y," on u. S. marines house.
boat trip May 28th-June 3rd, 1886:
Soochow Creek out of which the
houseboats were towed on to the
Whangpoo river, was originally the
main stream comparable in size to
the present Whangpoo. The part OF
the Whangpoo in front of the Gus
toms House continuing to the Loong
Hwa Pagoda, was canal dug about
446 A. D., to connect the old Whang-
poo with the old Soochow Creek.
Conditions have changed, and the
old Whangpoo cuts across, using
the canal and empties in to the
Yangtse at what was formerly the
mouth of the old Soochow Greek.
The whole delta which may be con-
sidered as silt from the Yangtse and
other smaller rivers, has an area of
$1,000 square miles and was depos-
tied through period of 10000
years. The Whangpoo drains about
100 square miles, of which 1900
are covered by Tahu and other
small lakes. Of the total rainfall
5000 finds its way to the Whangpoo,
the rest being evaporated or absorb
ed by the perry porous soil.
The Grand Canal. 1t is the long
est canal in existence being over l.
600 miles in length. Parts Of it
were built as early as 485 B. c., and
in 1920 A. D., it was extended and
connected from Hangchow to near
Peiping. Kublai Khan is often cred
tied with having built the canal,
| however, parts of it were in use long
| before his time. The motive OF the
| original builder was probably his
! own pleasure 1t is possible tha'
! the canal was used greatly for mil
itary purposes. and all through the
ages it has been used to transport
merchandise, tribute rice, ETC., ETC.,
