TAKU
yg Ta-Tcu
This village is situated at the mouth of the Pei-ho, on the southern side of the river
about sixty-seven miles from Tientsin. The land is so flat at Taku that it is difficult :
for a stranger to detect the entrance to the river. There are two anchorages, an outer
and inner. The former extends from the Customs Junks to three miles outside the i
Bar, seaward; the latter from Liang-kia-yuan on the south to the Customs Jetty,
Izchu-lm, on the north. The village is a poor one, and possesses few shops and
no buildings of interest except the forts, now demolished. The only foreign residents
are the employes of the Lighter Company, the Customs, and the Pilot Corporation^
