or no game is to be found nowadays in the immediate vicinity of the port, and those in¬
search of sport with the gun have to go some considerable distance afield. Hiding on |
horseback is possible, but cycling is a doubtful pleasure. The climate of the port ‘;
during at least six months of the year is a trying one for Europeans, and as a result of j"
the want of proper sanitary arrangements—pigs are the principal scavengers— ij
epidemics in the Chinese town are frequent. Accurate figures for the population of b
the town, as elsewhere in China, are difficult to obtain, but the number of inhabitants I
may perhaps be put at some 20,000. Fishing is the main—in fact, practically the only— !
local industry, and a large number of vessels are employed in it. The people of Pakhoi l
and surrounding district are inclined to “enough for to-day’s needs and never mind to- j I
morrow” rather than to activity, commercial or otherwise, and are poor in consequence, j
The independent and rather turbulent spirit so prevalent throughout the “Four Lower •
Prefectures” (fl*f P9 T*), in one of which (Limchow) the port is situated, is a good deal 1
in evidence at times and there has been, so far, only a feeble response to educational
effort.
No railway construction has yet been commenced in the district, and there seems \
to be little likelihood of any of the projected undertakings assuming shape in the j
immediate future.
