Note 49 — Chapter XXII
Reading edition
In the Friend of China, March 10, 1865, and subsequent numbers, the following advertisement appears:—
"The Steamer Donnington.—The undersigned" (H. Evans), "in consequence of the determination of the provincial authorities not to permit the navigation of inner waters for tradal purposes by vessels of the above class, being thus disappointed in the purpose for which he had her constructed, is desirous of disposing of her."
This direct violation of the last treaty is one effect of the Manchoo restoration to power, by British means, in the Kiang-su province.
