Here is the signal which is 23 hoisted to give notice of the coming of a typhoon. Behind Kaulun is the New Territory: a land of mountain and torrent, with here and there a broader valley with fields of rice and sugar-cane. Here we see some of these rice fields 24 on the route of the new railway. Notice how the ground is 25 flooded. The population, about 100,000 in all, is not very dense and is grouped in scattered villages. Here is a view of the picturesque country at the back of Kaulun, with a cattle 26 depôt in the foreground to remind us that the city must be fed from the surrounding country. Here again we see a street in 27 Tai-wo-shi and a group of villagers gathered round the village well. Let us pay a short visit to Wun-yin, or “Pottery” village, 28 for a glimpse of a native industry. We see a potter at work, 29 painting the little bowls, but he does not look quite the same as the ordinary Chinese of the south. He is a _Hakka_, as is 30 also this native woman, who does not seem in the least nervous in front of the camera. Neither is handsome, but they are very useful in Hongkong, since they do much of the hard manual work which is necessary in a great port. The _Hakkas_ are immigrants, of a different race from the natives of the Canton district, and they have different habits. Among other peculiarities they do not bind the feet of their women. In the New Territory we are already changing the face of the country. Water is being impounded in great reservoirs for the 31 supply of Kaulun, and a railway twists and burrows through the valleys and mountains, and connects at the frontier with the Chinese railway to Canton. So the Territory has a future of its own, but its real importance is as a protecting barrier to the harbour of Hongkong. Hongkong is an excellent instance of the attraction which a free port, under a Government which gives security for life and property, and deals out even-handed justice, has for an industrious native race. The liberality with which the wealthier Chinese support public objects in Hongkong, such as schools and hospitals, is the best proof that they appreciate the methods and value of British rule.
