  Lin's American informants soon warned him that the British warships had gone north so as to threaten the island of Chou-shan.

  The Chou Shan fishing ground to the southeast of Shanghai accounts for one-tenth of the Chinese mainland fishery output and buyers in many cities and towns have for years been wondering why they cannot get better-shaped fish from that area.
  [...]More than 40 per cent of the fish from the Chou Shan area are small ones. They don’t stay fresh longer than bigger fish.]

  Chou Shan Island had been fairly taken; to exchange it for a worthless rock nobody wanted was the height of idiocy! If not Chou Shan, then they wanted some other well-situated island in the mouth of the Yangtze.]

  Zung had previously sent her a telegram from Hong Kong saying he would be back in Shanghai, and he was supposed to have arrived two days ago.
