CHINESE TRAVEL DIARY. "The Difficulties of getting three Naval Officers off for a week's holiday in China are about the same as those experienced by the organiser of a large expedition to the South Pole..." The 3 naval officers are Beauchamp, Lang and Elliot, their ship the 'Hawkins'. Beauchamp's account of their holiday has been printed on thick khaki paper, is accompanied by over 50 original photographs, and bound in the same khaki-coloured card wrappers. Loose inside is his 9 pp. typescript, with a few pencil Ms. notes. Also loose inside is Lang's 7 pp. account of the same trip, again in typescript. The trio catch the Shanghai-Hangchow-Ningpo train on Tuesday, 9th November, 1920. Their first stop is Dr. Main's Mission Hospital at Hangchow, then from Si-hsing, they board a houseboat, visit various villages and a temple, bag a 6ft snake on a shooting party, then proceed by train to Ningpo, making further sorties by houseboat, before heading for the Chin-wo foothills and Wan-chi. From there, they walk across the Yiang-me-ling pass to Nimrod Sound, where they boarded a junk. Both accounts are interesting and informative. LOCATION CABINET
