Peril and salvage on Ningpo coast with new Taoutai arrival
A half-sunk vessel is raised and towed ashore after crew desertion and a later salvage, while Ningpo welcomes a new Taoutai from Hangzhou. A disputed Takee estate case and changes in consular posts amid a tense Chinese port scene are reported, including Fontanier’s peril and Medhurst’s dinner in Shanghai.
