WHEREAS it was deemed desir~ble, for the safety and guidance of Ships navigating the China Seas, to build a Light-House on the Island Rock called Pedra Branca, situate at the Eastern entrance of the Straits of Singapore; · and whereas certain sums of money were subscribed by private individuals for that. purpose, but the.same were insufficient to defray the expense of build­ ing such Light-House; and whereas the East India Company agreed to build such Light-House, and to· allvance certain sums of money to complete the same on condition that the said sums of money should be repaid to them by the levy of certain tolls; arid whereas, since the passing of Act No, VI. 1852, a Floating Light has been established by the East India Company in the Straits of Malacca to the West of Singapore, at a place called the 2!-fathom bank, and it may hereafter be deemed expedient to establish and n1aintain other lights or beacons in or near to the said Straits, for the safety and guid­ ance of Ships navigating the same; .and whereas many Ships which derive the benefit of the Horsburgh Light and the said Floating Light established aforesaid, do not contribute to the expense thereof, and it is just and reason­ able that they should be liable so to do; It is enacted as follows: I. Act No. VI. 1852 is· hereby repealed, except so far as it relates to _any Act already done under the same, or to any toll now due under the pro. visions thereof, or to any proceedings already adopted, or hereafter to be adopted, for the recovery of any such toll.

If the voyage be one in the ordinary course whereof such Ship would 11ass the whole of the said lights, at the rate of one anoa for every. to·n · or" her burden. 2. If the voyage be one in the ordinary co~rse of which she would pass any one or· more of the said lights~ but not all of them, at the rate of half an anna for_ eve;y ton of her burden.

Provided also that no toll shall be payable under this.Act on account of any Ship in respect.· of any voyage for which toll bath been already paid or become payable under. ihe said Act No.· VI. 1852, or during the period covered by such payment......

from base to vo.ne, which was erected on it in 1851, m1d named after the celebrated hydrographer, Horsburgh, whose labours hnve in a high clegree benefited the interests of navigation nnd commerce in every part of the eastern seas. The lighthouse is a pillri.r of granite, and the lantern is covered by a spherical dome, painted white. The largest island off Ro~ mania point bears from it W. by N. ! N. about 7! miles; it is the sn.me distance from the shore of Bintang, and is in one with the centre of· Bintang Great hill, bearing S. by E. i E. :LJ:GHT.-The lighthouse on Pedrn Branca exhibits a ,·evolving white light, which attains its brightest period once every minute; its greatest brilliancy is of fifte"en seconds duration, when it. gradually declines until it tot,ally disappears to a distant c;>bserver ; but within n short distance of the lighthouse it is never entirely invisible. The light if? elevated 95 feet above the level of high-water springs, and should be seen in clear weath~r. at a distance of about 15 miles.

lDANG~n.s near PZ»KA :ERANCA.-With the exception of n pa.tell of 4 fathoms, the north and uorth-wes;t sides of Pedu. Branca are steep-to, there.being 17 fnthoms close to the rock, and 30 to 36 fathoms ~ear it. This 4-fathoms patch lies about a quarter of n. mile northward of the rock, and is the only shoal spot between it and the Romania short.ls, iu which space the depths are very val"iable iu mid-channel, 17 to 32 fathoms, but they become more regular, 17 to 14 fathoms, towards the Romania shonls. The east, south, and south-east sides of Ped.ra Branca should not be approached nearer than a mile, for there o.re dangerous rocky po.tches to the distance of half o. mile from the east sicle ; and the south and south­ east sides are foul to threewqu~rters of a mile, at which distance South an.cl S.S.E. ! E. from the lighthouse are two dangerous ledges, no.med Middle rocks, which are 'but little above the surface at high wnter. Eo.stward-a short .distance from the J\.Iicldle rocks is a patch of 4 fathoms, and North lt quarter of a mile from this pntch i.c; a rock with only 3 feet of water over it. sotrTR z.mx,G:si, called by Horsburgh the South~,vest rocks, is very dangerous. It consists of three pointed rocks, very little detached from each other, with 8 and 9 fathoms close to, nnd 16 or 18 fathoms at o. short distance from them in .their stream. They nre of small extent, not visible until the ebb has been made some time, and are nearly covert!d . before the streo.m of flood begins to run. Horsburgh lighthouse bears from them N. by E. i E., distant 2 miles ; t11e large Romnuin island N.'1{. by "\V. f W. 7-k miles; nnd the outer hill on Br:ikit point E.S.E. 123 miles. Annex 69

Current.-Tidal streams.-_In making Singapore strait from the northward, vessels should always be prepared· to meet with a southerly current in the north-east monsoon, and a northerly one 36 in the opposite season, the rate of which is governed by the strength of the monsoon. In fine weather its rate is usually from l l ·to 2 knots, but is accelerated or retarded by the tidal streams near the coast. Between Horsburgh lighthouse (Lat. 1° 20' N., Long. 104, 0 24' E.) and a position 40 miles eastward, it has been lmown to set -at the 40 rate of from 3 to 4 knots. · In the neighbou,rhood of Horsburgh lighthouse, the main directions of the stream are north-east and south-west, the stream being of similar type to that· found in the western approaches to Singapore (see page 168) and running at about the same rate;- the north- 45 east-going stream near ;Horsburgh lighthouse corresponds to the east-going stream in the western approaches, but commences about half an hour later. No -exact information regarding the duration of_ the north-east-going stream, or the commencement and -duration of the south~west-going stream, can be given. _ so The direction of the sti;eam is, for some hours before and after slack water, consideraply influemjed by a cross stream running· in a north-westerly or south-easterly direction; this stream is of .similar

MALAYA IN THE WU-PEI-CHIH CHARTS By J. V. MILLS, M.c.s.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. [Even so humble a paper as this has required the assistance of helpers too numerous to mention. Among them the present writer desires to tender his grateful thanks to Dr. L. Giles of the British Museum, to Dr. C. 0. Blagden and Dr. E. D. Edwards of the School of Oriental Studies, to the Committee of the China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society by whom the Charts were first published, and particularly to Mr. C. C. Best of the Malayan Survey Department whose technical knowledge and intimate experience of Malayan waters render his comments of such interest and value that the writer has reproduced them almost verbatim.]

I. INTRODUCTION. The Charts which form the subject-matter of this paper are to be found, according to a statement made by Phillips in 1885, in the last chapter of a modern Chinese work called TVu pei p£ shu or " Records of Military Affairs ", mentioned by \Vylie in his " Notes on Chinese Literaltt1'e '' in the following terms, " The .'TV u-pei-pt'.-shu ( Jitftt~fhl!) by She Yung-t 'oo . is a type of a common order of modern books, professing to give complete and satisfactory details on the art of war. The first volume treats of ·.firearms and pyrotechnic stratagems, and the remainder is occupied with the devices to be employed under every possible geographical and topographical condition. It is profusely illustrated with maps and plates of the most miserable descrip­ tion, exhibiting a succession of quaint!¥ antique machines and extraordin_~ry manoeuvres which it is difficult to conceive to have been brought into effective service. The text is chiefly quotations from old authors ". · The Charts are reproduced by Phillips with an article entitled " The Seaports of India and Ceylon", published in the Journal of the China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (Vol. XX. (1885). p. 209, and Vol. XXI. (1886). p. 30). Apart from incidental references to the Charts in Gerini' s Researches into Ptolemy' s Geography (1914), the only attempt to identify the Malayan place-names in the Charts is made by Blagden in his paper entitled -Notes on Early Malay History (J.R.A.S.S.B. No. 53. (1909). p. 153) : Blagden identifies with reasonable certainty 16 of the places appearing in the Peninsular region from "Sun-ku-na " (Singora) on the east coast to" K1-e li yu pu tung" (Pulau Butang) on the west. 699

2 J. V. Mills.

The aim of the present paper is to identify and explain the remaining 35 names and legends. In recent years the Charts have been fortunate enough to attract the attention of those distinguished savants Duyvendak and Pelliot (now co-directors of T'oung Pao) ; see Duyvendak. Ma Huan re-examined. (1933) and Pelliot "Les grands voyages maritimes Clzinois au debut dtt xve sz'ecle" (T'oung Pao. Vol. XXX. (1933). p. 237) : from these works the present writer borrows unashamedly albeit very respectfully. The British :Museum possesses a copy of the Plu-pei-pi-shu (Oriental Department, 15259. c. 14), but it is defective and does not contain the chart. The Sinological Institute at Leyden also possesses a copy of the l¥u-pei-pi-shu : it is the same edition as that in the British Museum, and it contains a chart resembling, but not identical with, that of Phillips : it is not so well cut, and though it gives most of the sailing directions appearing on Phillips' chart, they are printed in a different way; so obviously there were two different editions of this chart. The British Museum possesses another Chinese book with the title Hai-yiin-yao-liieh, ifjj: ~ ~ Ht. , "An Epitome of Sea-transport " {Oriental Department, 15,259. c. 22) which is the same work as the W u-pei·-pi-shu, and differs only in respect of the title on the title page ; it also contains the chart, identical with that at Leyden. The marginal note reads '' H sin-liieh, T£-li-ckiian-ss.i, T'ung-wai-kuo-t'u ", ,~, ~ J:-\J! f.J) ~ l!Q fili ~,, w&J II , i.e. "Plans, chapter 4 of the (T¥u-Pei) ti-li (advantages of the Geographical Location); maps for the communication with foreign countries". On Phillips' chart, however, the marginal note reads " Wu-pei-chih, ti ehr-pai-ssli-shih-chiian, hang-hai-cliien~hsiian "., :iit fti ;g; ~ :: a 1,q + ~ .Nit ~ ~ ~ I i.e. "Chapter 240 of the Wu-pei-chih, (Notes on Military Preparation), Selection from Sea-voyages ". The " W u-pe£-ti-li " being merely part of the " W u-pei-pi­ slnt", and the marginal note on Phillips' chart showing clearly that it was taken from the " Wu-pei-cltih- ", Duyvendak dismisses the " Wu-pez'-pi-slnt II as being merely a compilation. He theri engages (p. 17) upon a brilliant piece of historical research regarding the origin and authorship of the " lVu-pei­ chih" and the antecedents of the chart. The British Museum has four imperfect copies of the Wu­ pei-chih: none of them contains tlie chart. J ourna/, Malayan Branch [Vol. XV, Part. III, 700

Malaya in the Wu-Pei-Chih Charts. 3 The Library of Congress at Washington has an edition of the TVu-pei-chih: it is in 64 volumes: the last volume contains the charts as given by Phillips, says Duyv€ndak. The preface is dated 1621 : it was offered to the throne in 1628, s·o that it was not printed until after that date. The author was one "Mao Yi.ian-yi" of the Ming dynasty: he fought against the Manchus and in 1629 helped to recover four cities from them, but later his soldiers revolted and he was banished to Chang-p'u in Fukien : he died of drunkenness ; the year is not recorded. This "Mao Ytian-yi" was the·· grandson of one " Mao K'un " who lived from 1511-1601 : and " Mao K'un" was the collaborator of one " Hu Tsung-hsien ". '.' Hu Tsung-hsien's " life-work was the defence of the Chinese coast against the Japanese pirates : he held various high offices, was governor of Fukien province, and rose to be a President of the Ministry of War: he was the author of several books and inspired the publication of a large work on coast-defence, illus­ trated with numerous maps, called " Ch'ou-hai-t'u-pien " (IJ ifij 11 ~). The preface of that work, dated 1562, was written by .. Mao K ' un. •. Another collaborator in its compilation was a certain "Cheng Jo-tseng ", who wrote many other geographical works with maps. Duyvendak mentions those details in order to show that in the circle to which "Mao K'un " belonged, the most vivid interest was taken in matters of geography of the coast : and he suggests that as "Mao K'un " lived so long. he may easily have transferred some of that interest to his grandson'' Mao Yilan-yi ". "We may e\'.en regard it as probable" he adds "that the map, which Mao Yiian-yi published in his work, formed part of that geographical material, that was collected by Hu Tsung­ hsien's circle and may have been deposited in his archives, .when he was governor of Fukien ". So Duyvendak ascribes to "Mao K'un" the credit of being · the person who really appreciated the value of these charts, and he thinks that it was "Mao K'un" who wrote the introduction and the explanatory notes· to the charts. Thus Duyvendak traces the -charts back to the second or third quarter of the sixteenth century, only a little more than a hundred years after the time of " Cheng Ho··, the celebrated Chinese envoy who returned from his last official voyage in 1433. The Chart " is supposed to give Cheng Ho's travelling· route" says Duyvendak (op. ·cit. p. 17) : Pelliof thinks " elle a 19 3 7 ] Royal Asiatic Society. 701

(1933). p. 268). The introduction, after a brief reference to " Cheng Ho " as having been employed by the Emperor for these ·foreign explorations, concludes with the words ' 1 His maps record care­ fully and correctly the distances of the road and of the various countries and I have inserted them for the information of posterity and as a memento of military achievements ". Though preceded in point of. time by "Ma Pin", "Wu Pin", and " Ch'ang K'o-ching" who were sent on official missions by sea in or about 1403, Cheng Ho was the most famous of the eunuch envoys sent abroad in the beginning of the fifteenth cen­ tury (T'oieng Pao. Val XVI. (1915). p. 84). Incidentally, it may be noted that he was a Muhammadan, and the son of a "Haji ". (T'oung Pao. Vol. XXXII. (1936). p. 212). He was sent on his first voyage by the Emperor in July, 1405, and reached the capital on his return from his seventh and last voyage in Ju1y, 1433. (T'oung Pao. Vol. XXX. pp. 275, 311). On his staff were at least three persons who wrote books, namely " Kong Tchen" whose work remains so far undiscovered, and " Ma Huan " and " Fei Hsin " whose books have come down to us. Of Chinese works written at about this epoch and containing references to places in the Malay Peninsula, the following may be noted:- " Chao Ju-kua " : " Chu fan chih ", " Records of Foreign Nations ", 1225. " Wang Ta-yilan " : " Tao i ch.ih lio ", " Description of the Barbarians of the Isles ", 1349.

ff Fei Hsin '' : '' H s£ng eh' a sheng lan '' "Description of the starry raft '1, 1436. " Ma H uan " : " Ying yai sheng lan ", " Description of the coasts of the Ocean ", 1451. " Huang Sheng ts'eng " : " Hsi yang chao kung tie1t lu ", "Record of the Tributary Nations of the West", 1520. "Chau Ju-kua's" book, with an English translation by Hirth and Rockhill, was published irt 1912. Translation from the· books of "\Vang Ta-yiian ", "Fei Hsin ", "Ma Ruan" and" Huang Sheng ts'eng" will be found in · Journal Il1alayan Branch [Vol. XV, Part ·1u, 702

l\1alaya in the \Vu-Pei-Chih Charts. 5 Groeneveldt's perenially valuable paper "Notes on the Malay Archipelago and Malacca" (Miscellaneous Papers relating to Indo-China. (1887). p. 126), and in Rockhill's " Notes on the relations and trade of China with the Eastern Archipelago and coasts of the Indian Ocean during the fourteenth century " (T'oung Pao. Vol XV. (1914). p. 419: and Vol. XVI. (1915). pp. 61, 236, 374, 435, 604). One now considers the date of the Charts . . Phillips expresses the opinion that these Charts are older than the commencement of the fifteenth century.: Gerini thinks that they were drafted about 1399. Certainly some of the data incorporated in them may be referred to the fourteenth century, since the ·" Nagarakreta.ga·nta" (1365) mentions, for intance, " Sai " and " Tumasik" (Ferrand. Relations de Voyages. (1914). p. 663). . But Ma Huan (1451} says of Malacca ":Formerly it was not called a kingdom, but as there were five islands on the coast, it was called the five islands .... In the year 1409 the imperial envoy, Cheng Ho .... raised the place to a city, after which the land was called the kingdom of Malacca ". (Groeneveldt. loc. cit. p. 243). It seems a fair inference from this statement that the Chinese did not call tl1e town Malacca until 1409 ; and if that is correct, these Charts cannot be dated before that year. Further it seems natural to infer from the expressions " His maps '' and " as a memento of military achievements" occurring in the introduction, that Cheng Ho was responsible for the maps. On the whole one thinks that the more conservative-minded will deem it unsafe to conclude that the Charts can be dated prior to Cheng Ho's final return in 1433. It may well be that the data were collected by various officers on different voyages during a num her of years. The fast passage from Pedra Branca to Pulau Aur (75 miles in 5 watches or about 6! miles an hour, as compared with the average of 2.93 miles an hour for the voyage from "Samudra" to Pulau Branca) suggests that the voyage was made with the " Angin Tenggara ", a fresh South east wind occasionally reaching almost moderate gale force ; this wind may be encountered at any time between April and October. The fact that these maps are of such a different character from the ordinary Chinese maps indicates, Duyvendak thinks (p. 22). that they are not purely Chinese work but are based on the nautical charts of the Arabs; and Pelliot is convinced that they had an Arab nautical chart as a prototype (T'oung Pao. Vol. XXX. (1933). p. 268). Phillips' paper is accompanied by two Charts: speaking generally, the one gives the sea-routes from Samudra (near J 93 7.J Royal .4.riatic: Societ)'· 703

6 J. V. M-ills. Pasai on the north coast of Sumatra*) tci Africa, the other the sea-routes from Samudra to China: the present paper is concerned with a portion of the second Chart only. The Chart takes the form of a long horizontal strip on which divergent sea-routes a:re shown as more or less parallel, and the coast-line, irrespective of its true direction, is represented· as one irregular line running from left to right : Gerini describes the Chart as giving directions for a coasting voyage ; this is not wholly accurate since parts of · the voyage.for instance from Sumatra to Ceylon, or from Pulau Aur to Pulau Condor, are not proximate to any coast. Tracings from three portions of Phillips' Chart accompany this paper: for purposes of. comparison, corresponding portions of a modern map are reproduced side by side with the Chinese Chart. To glance at the Chart is to. realize that it scarcely accords with modern ideas of cartographicaJ exactitude; though perhaps . it ill becomes us to cast stones at the fifteenth century Chinese navigator so long as we ourselves adhere to Mercator's. projection which in low and high latitudes gives grotesquely inaccurate results. t There can be little doubt that the Chinese mappist could, had he wished, have drawn a much more accurate representation of the trend of the coast-line and the relative position of the is­ lands ; the fact that he does not do so suggests that he purposely adopted the method of the Chart in order to compress a number

•Pelliot has recently repucliated the old identification of " Su men ta la" with Acheh, and accepted the identification with Samudra on the Pasai River; but he gives no reasons (T'otmg Pao. Vol XXX1I. (1936), p. 214}. One feels fairly confident in saying that the Chart fixes the rosition of " Su ,nen ta la" within about 14 miles. The Chart represents that from " Su men ta la", it took the vessel 5 watches to round Diamond Point on courses of 30°, 120°, and 105°, 120°. These waters would be sheltered from all southerly winds and one finds that in the sheltered waters of the Straits the maximum distance travelled in 5 watches wao; about 54 miles (Malacca to Gunong Banang) and the minimum about 22 miles (The Kerimun Islands to Coney I:4et), with a middle distance of about 38 miles. The maximum distance would :fix "Su men ta la" at Agam Agam about 20 miles west of the Pasai River, and the minimum distance at Pidada about 7 miles east of the Pasai River: a spot nearly equidistant from those .two places ( 1-.e. near the light in 5° 13' N, 97° 10' E, on Agu point, north of Semawi town) is less than 14 miles from either. The most probable location indicated by the. Chart is provided by the middle distance of about 38 miles : this would fix " Stt men ta la " near Meraksa about 5 miles west of the Pasai River .. . The distance from the Pasai River on the prescribed courses would be about 32 miles. On the other hand the distance from the mouth of the " Achin River " to the east of Diamond Point is some 159 miles. t" The "Mercator Projection "now" finds a rival in the " Gnomonic Projection" on certain charts which are specially· prepared for use of the fast steamship making its way with little respect for the wind but much respect for the nearest "Great Circle" route behveen port and port."

of diverging routes within the limits of a single sheet of papef, to make merely a diagrammatic representation,-the kind of route-diagram, simple but inaccurate, which one sees on the London Underground Railway. · Maybe, too, that the Chinese navigator was familiar with certain conventions,-a sort of ' cartographical shorthand'­ which enabled him to understand and interpret the Chart. How­ ever that may be, the method of the. Chart makes it difficult for strangers and foreigners to unravel it : no accurate inferences as to distance can be drawn from the relative positions of places marked on the Chart; for instance, Pulau Pisang is shown at the mouth of what appears to be the Batu Pahat River, whereas in reality Pulau Pisang is 35 miles further down the coast: nor can any accurate inferences as to distance be drawn from the number of "kengs " (watches) occupied in the journey between hvo places ; · for instance, the Chart states that 5 " kings " will be occupied in the journey from the Kerimun Islands to Coney Islet, and 5 " kengs" in the journey from Pedra Branca to Pulau Aur, whereas the actual distances between those places are 22 miles and 75 miles respectively. The " king" or watch of 2.4 hours in Chinese navigation is usually reckoned as 60 U, 20 English miles: Phillips takes Cheng Ho's watch as equal to 16 English miles, but he adds, rather pathetically, "its real value is somewhat difficult to determine ". One realizes that the distance travelled in one watch, depending as it docs on different conditions of wind and sea, may vary from a few yards to some 10, or in exceptional circumstances, perhaps 20 miles ; all that one wishes to emphasize is that, in interpreting this Chart, no accurate conclusion as to distance can be derived from the period of time taken to travel between two places; this emphasis is the more necessary when, in an age of power­ driven vessels whose speed is under normal conditions nearly constant, time and distance are almost correlative. · A further difficulty lies in the fact that we do not know in which Chinese " language " or " dialect " a particular name is intended to be represented; Edwards and Blagden were con­ fronted with this difficulty when explaining the " Malacca Voca­ bulary " (Bulletin of J.hc School of Oriental Studies. Vol. VI, Part 3. (1931), p. 715) ; a " classic" example is provided by the transcription of the Malay name Muhammad: the Chinese designa- tion JJto"l\. ft ?JJ is unintelligible in Pekingese, "Ma-hsia-wu ", yet readily understandable in Cantonese, " Ma-ha-met ". In this paper, all Chinese characters {except in quotations) are, unless otherwise _stated, given the phonetic equivalent which they bear in the Pekingese dialect : words in the Amoy dialect are, unless otherwise stated, spelled as in Douglas' " Chinese­ English Dictionary of the Vernacular or Spoken Language of A moy'' :· 193 7] Royal Asiatic Society. 705

.8 J. V. Mills . words in other dialects are spelled as in Giles' " A Chinese-English Dictionary i'.n the Pekingese dialect ". In ·cases where it appears that the Chinese characters may represent a name transcribed in some dialect other than Pekin­ gese, the phonetic equivalent in that dialect as well as in Pekingese is given, so that the reader may decide for himself. An apparent difficulty arises in connection with the compass directions : in the Chinese compass the circle of 360° is divided into 24 ang1es of 15° each: when a single direction is given in the · Chart, no trouble arises; for instance when the Chart states that the course from Pulau Pisang is in the direction 5~ [sun], one can see from the compass that 135° is intended: but sometimes two directions are given ; for instance; the Chart says that from Malacca the direction is ~~ [Cli'en sun, 120°, 135°] ; in this case the layman may feel uncertain whether the pilot means (a) the direction is first 120° and then 135°, or 0 (b) the direction is mid-way between 120° and 135° i.e. 127} 1 or (c) the direction is, roughly, somewhere between 120° and 135°. To the expert, however, tpere is no difficulty: Mr. Best explains :-" The double bearings can, I consider, be simply explained. The mariner set out on the first course and then found, possibly on raising the island or point for which he was heading, that he was off his course; he then corrected accordingly. It is a perfectly normal and correct procedure even in modern navi­ gation with accurately plotted courses and gyroscopic compasses. In certain cases, as on the stretch from "Samudra" to Diamond Point, the changes of course are obviously determined by the trend of the coast he was following. In others, say from the Kerimun Islands to Coney Islet, he was probably slightly wrong on his first course and was set further off by the tide." One may add that Sinological experts are hesitant to express an opinion on technical questions of five centu'ries ago. It is only fair to emphasize that a very high standard of accuracy cannot reasonably be expected from the Chinese pilot of 1433: those were early days in the manufacture of-the compass; his instrument may well have been liable to error; and he may: not have understood the disturbing factors constituted by iron in his ship and by local terrestrial magnetism ; even in 1613 Eredia speaks of this latter cause as though it were quite a recent discovery (J.R.A.S.M.B. Vol. VIII, Part I. (1930), p. ·84) ; furthermore, it is possible that the magnetic variation which has occurred since 1433, may have made the Chinese pilot's directions appear less accurate than they actually were at that date, but the present writer is not competent to discuss that point. Journal J.1ala.yan Branch [Vol. XV, Part. III, 706

Malaya in the \\Tu~Pei-Chih Charts. 9

On this subject, Mr. Best writes:-" I have taken the .·bear­ ings_ given in the Chinese Chart and have plotted and ' swung'. them to fit over a modern map. (In the case of double bearings, half the distance is run on the first bearing and half on the second). The test is made from a point about eight miles off the coast at Bukit Jugra to a comparatively accurate :fixing off Raffles Light,. and it would. indicate that the Chinese navigator was using a compass with a variation of only about 5° (W} from true north. The "offings" o,r distances out fromJ_Cape Rachado, Water Islands and Pulau Pisang fit in remarkably well and the figure of 5° is in all probability correct within 2°-3° either way. At first sight this seems almost too good to be true, but the variation between magnetic and true north has presumably remained almost stationary throughout the last few centuries, and a wooden-ship, uriless she carried iron cannon somewhere · near the compass, would produce very little deviation so the result is not very surprising ". The Chinese designation of Malayan place-naines may be divided in to 5 main classes :-· (I) purely Chinese names given by the Chinese themselves; for instance, Pulau Tinggi is ca1led " Cltt'.ang chiin 111-ao ", " General's Hat " : (2) translations of Malay names; for instance, the Sembilan Islands are called " Chiu chou ", " Nine Islands •' : (3) transcriptions of Malay names, for instance, Pulau Pisang is called "Pi-sang Island" (Amoy Hokkien) : (4) transcriptions of Malay names modified either (a) for the sake of assonance, according to Ferrand; for instance, Pahan g is called " p'eng h..eng ", the character "p'eng" being intentionally employed from its assonance with .. lteng ", or (b) to give a meaning in Chinese, for instance, {Pulau) Langk_awi is called u Leng ge kau i" (Amoy Hokkien), " Dragon I s Tooth Arm Chair " : (5) names which cannot be fitted into the above classes; for instance, in the Chinese name " J(u li yu pu tang"· the expression "Ku U yu" appears to represent the Cham word " culao ", " island " ; in the case of other appellations,_ again, the state of our knowledge does not. enable." us to derive the name of a place, although its location may be fixed with reasonable certainty; for in stance, ' 1 She .chie1~ ·s han " is in all proba bili ty to be -identified with Gunong Banang, but one cannot say as- ·yet whether ." Shoot-arrows Mountain " is a purely Chin~se designation, or whether " She-chien Mountain'' represents som.e foreign name. 1937] Royal Asiatir::·.Society. 707

10 J. V. Mills. Photostatic copies both of Phillips' map arid of the Hai-yiin-yao­ liieh map -(as well as the other Malayan maps mentioned in this paper) may be found at Raffles Library, in '.' A Collection of His­ torical Maps of Malaya" recently compiled. The latter of the two Chinese maps is so very much less accurate than the former that it is more -curious than useful: but it is not entirely without utility, for instance, in several cases it states that the ship n passes" (~, kuo.) a certain place where Phillips' map uses the expression Jll, ch'ii, and it thus resolves the doubt whether the latter expression means " make .for" or " make " (i.e. reach) ; furthermore, in one case it gives an additional name of which there is no trace in Phillips' map, immediately south of " Long-sai-ka" { Amoy Hokkien) which the present writer identifies with Langkasu-ka (Patani), it marks "Kun-e-ti River" (Amoy Hokkien), which presumably repre­ sents some such Malay name as ku.nyit.

II. THE CHART. For cartographical and other reasons it has been thought convenient to treat the Chart in three sections ; the fi.rst, the Butang Islands to the Kerimun Islands; the second. the Kerimun Islands to Pedra Branca ; the third, Pedra Branca to Singora. In each section, the writer has fi.rst set out the Chinese names with suggested identifications, then reproduced the sailing­ directions of the Chart, and lastly added some comments and explanations.

A light was established on Brani Reef beacon on the 25th May as part of the · new lighting system in Keppel Harbour. This revision· included.- the removal of Tereh and South Channel buoys and the lighting of S.E. Bran[ buoy as mentioned above. A winker beacon light was established on Beacon No. 30 at the entrance to Kallang Basin on the 25th November.. The lights on Beacons No. 15 in the Western Anchorage and Beacon No. 39 off St. John~s Island were temporarily extinguished from 13th June to 29th July in order to carry out re-construction work. On completion of this work two new electric lanterns of higher candlepower were fitted to these beacons. Light houses.-Pulau Pjsang. Lighthouse - Re-decorati9n and repairs. were carried out and a n~w concrete water storage tank of 4.000 gallons capadty was built to supplement the existing water supply. A power-plant room to house three alternators was also built and three Armstrong-Siddley water-cooled diesel engines driving Brush alternators were installed in this room in readiness for conversion to electrical operation of the lighthouse. Installation of these three alternators and· the wiring of both lantern room and crews' accommodation, was carried out by Marine Department and Light Dues Board staff. Due to late arrival of the new 4th Order electrically operated optic and machinery from the supplier it was not possible to complete the electrification of this lighthouse during 1966. Horsburgh Lighthouse - On the evening of 30th April the new electrical­ ly operated optic and machinery was brought into use. This is a 4th Order 6 x 60° panel, single flash revolving prismatic optic with an illuminant consisting of a 1,000 watt lamp. This new optic replaces an old 1st Order optic which had an i11uminant of a pressurised vapour kerosene "Hoodn burner. The change over to electrical operation increased the candlepower of the light exhibited by this lighthouse from 154.000 to 449,000. The installa­ tion of three alternators, wiring for optic supply. including domestic require­ ment. dismantJing of the old 1st Order optic and installation of the new 4th Order optic and machinery was carried out by Marine Department and Light Dues Board staff.

I landed at Horsburgh Lt. House accompanied by Mr. L. Coulson, Marine Dept. Engineer and carried out inspection of the station. · There is much evidence of neglect, roofing of outhousing is in some cases missing, all roofs are leaking, guttering, so essential for the supply of water, is broken, rusted and many lengths missing. The block joints of the tower itself are open in many places, the cement having come away. This is an urgent matter and should be repaired as soon as possible. The foundation and lower courses of the tower should be most carefully examined both for cracking and the opening of joints. The woodwork, doors and windows, is rotten and broken in many places and should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent the entry of rain water. The ironwork around the lightroom ·is corroded and in parts, requires replacement. All ironwork should be carefully sealed and painted. Both exterior and interior of the whole station should be painted. The crew is well and do not have any complaints or requests they have received the post war issue of five yards of khaki but have not yet had an issue of uniform. The lightkeeper has been instructed to enquire about uniform on his next return to Singapore. (Signed) Ag Depy. Master attendant 15-11-1946

28th April to 2nd May

Arrived Horsburgh 1125 hrs 28th April on "Pesek" with Mr Lange, Che Bakar Bin Ali, Che Hasan B Abadullah, Che Abdul Bin Rahman to install the new 4th _ electric powered optic: Stores and equipment landed on the north side rocks with the_. 28th and 29th spent getting equipment up to the top and flashing the small temporary lantern. On the 29th main D/F Beacon failed and had to send for Telecoms officer to fix. On the night of the 29th the temporary light was found to have a defective flasher unit so a 100 watt bulb was placed in position of the _ mantle (which by then had been removed) and the old optic was kept running during the night. Early morning on the 30th started removing old optic and by 6.30 pm Mr Lange had the new optic machinery etc. in place. New light switched 1 on at 6.35 pm (1835) on the 30 h April. The power is 3 times greater then the old optic. At appx 1900 hours 1st May used a torch to call up a passing (unidentified) ship and asked "How do you find the new light". Answer received "Thank you"H

I must express my sincere thanks to Mr Nunes & his crew who have worked very hard to assist Mr Lange and his men in getting the new light installed. I also express my thanks to Mr Nunes for having made my stay here so comfortable.

Took the opportunity to polish up the final draft of my "History of Horsburgh Lighthouse" which I have been compiling for the past five months. Intend to try and publish before the end of this year.

I returned to Singapore on the M/L Berkas at noon on the 2nd May.
