East India Company: Select Committee of Supercargoes, Chinese Secretary's Office: Chinese-language Correspondence and Papers. 1812: CHIA CH'ING XVII. Petition to Hoppo from Elphinstone. Foreign Ships are required to anchor at inconvenient places on reaching Macao and delay in providing pilots may make them miss high water at Second Bar; needless restrictions on chop boats cause delay; members of the Select Committee travelling to and from Macao with only personal belongings are delayed at too many Customs posts en route.
