To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The flat extending towards Putu island has only 1^ fathoms on it at low water, and some hard casts ; therefore vessels drawing over 12 feet should not attempt this passage, but use the Sarah Galley channel, page 162. In working up from the southward between Lokea and Kin-ho island, bear in mind that the shoal water extends 3^ cables from the former, and 6 cables from the latter ; the above pillar or beacon in one with a cliff islet to the northward of it, is a good mid-channel mark. After passi...ng westward of the beacon bring the cliff islet in line with a building on Whang head ; this will lead over the flat in the deepest Avater, and when the south end of Putu bears East it may be steered for. CHINK. EAIYZUN HARBOUR is at the son t li-r;isf end of Chusan, and carries on a considerable fishery to the eastward of Putu island ; about 35 junks, each having from 30 to 35 men, and 250 smaller boats, averaging 5 men each, are employed for this purpose, and the proceeds are carried principally to Ning-po, the fish being preserved in ice during the summer.
