Whampoa is a small island twelve miles below Canton, well known as a convenient naval station and as a rendezvous for merchant ships whose cargoes were both taken in and discharged there for conveyance from and to Canton. It had a Chinese Town and another hybrid collection of dwellings known as Bam- boo Town, but above all for us it was the location of Mr. Cowper and Mr. Cowper's docks.
Dr. Johnson, we are informed, divided Scotchmen into two classes, " Scotchmen, and d Scotchmen," wherein as h
...e obviously meant " delightful Scotchmen," what is the object of curtailing the adjective as we always see done ? At all events Mr. Cowper was a delightful Scotchman, and so identified had he become with the place that to naval people he and Whampoa were synonymous terms, and the docks, which by his ability and energy he had built and of which he was proprietor, inseparable from either.
Abreast of Cowper's Docks then, in a very narrow, and although eighty miles from sea, tide-traversed COMMISSIONER YEH Canton, 1858.
