Vi - PREFACE. 



I am grateful to the new comers who have enriched this volume : to the 

 Venerable Archdeacon Moule for his picturesque description of Ningpo, to 

 Mr. LiNTiLHAC for his notes on Yachts and Yachting, to Messrs. W. M. Law 

 and Geo. Lanning for their Houseboat articles, to Messrs. Augustus H. 

 White, E. Starkey and A. H. Rasmussen for their Yangtze Notes, and to 

 Mr. E. G. Byrne for Hankow shooting in 1910. 



My acknowledgments, too, are due to Messrs. Morgan and Starling 

 for unfailing courtesy, willingness and assistance during the passage of this 

 book through the Press. 



May I reiterate the hope expressed in the earlier preface that for all 

 readers of this book there may yet be much sport and many happy days with 

 boat and gun in the Yangtze Valley ! 



H. T. WADE.

St. Partridge Day, 1910.
