INTRODUCTIONMy experience during the past few years in the use of the

Chinese language, as applied to Customs work, has led me to

deplore the absence of a handy book of reference restricted entirelyto words and phrases in common use in the Customs service, andit is with a view to remedying this deficiency that I have undertakenthis little work.

The contents of this book, which have been specially selected

to meet the requirements of members of the Outdoor staff, are

arranged under the following headings:

Heading. Page.

I. Arrival of ship . . . . . . . . 1

II. Shipping and landing of cargo . . . . 6

III. Inspection of ship . . . . . . 13

IV. Clearance of ship .. .. .. ..17V. On Tidewaiter's duty .. ... ..19VI. Sealing and cording . . . . 36

VII. At the Examination shed 41

VIII. Examination of an offender against the

Customs rules . . . . . . 57

IX. With the searching party .. .. ..65X. Words in common use

1. Names of places . . . . . . 71

2. Stationery 76

3. Household utensils, etc. .. ..774. Medicines .. .. .. ..815. Fruits and vegetables .. .. 82

ii INTRODUCTION

Finally, I have to express my sincere gratitude to Messrs.

M. Tachibana, Acting Commissioner, Dairen, C. P. Dawson, Chief

Tidesurveyor, Shanghai Customs, N. Tei, of the Japanese

Legation, Peking, and S. Jissoji, the Manager of the Yokohama

Specie Bank, Peking, for the help and advice which they so

generously gave me, and but for which this little work might

never have seen the light of day.

D. OKAMOTO,2nd class Tidewaiter.

Lungchingts'un, 19th February, 1915.

Captain, it is now 24hours since the arrival

Because the communi-cation between the

land and the vessel

was utterly impos-sible yesterday owingto bad weather.

I had entirely forgottenabout it. I will

produce it this after-

noon without fail.

This is Indian opium,I think. You mustnot take it ashore, as

its importation is

strictly prohibited in

China.

Now, let us go to the

hold, where the cargois stored.

It is full of cargo.Where do these skins

come from ?

Was the baggage youbrought here submit-ted to an official

examination ?

Certainly, the examin-ation was made andeach package wasmarked separately as

you see.

can not see thenark on some of

your baggage. Howis that ?

As it was found difficult

to put a mark on this

baggage, I got a

release permit.

you. They are thingsfor sale, without

bring them to the

examination shed.

If you are going to the

Will you please tell mewhich steamer is the

vS.S. "St.Kraetke"?

Certainly, she is that

four masted shipanchored to the south.

At what o'clock will

this launch leave herethe S. S. "St.

That I can't say, for

she does not plyregularly, but she will

perhaps sail if the

Have you obtained a

permit from the cus-

toms officer to bring

away this sample?

No, sir, I thought it

unnecessary to obtain

permission for sucha trifling quantity.

That can not be done,

you should apply for

it, as it is part of the

import cargo.

Where must I applyfor it?

You must make a

written applicationto the general office

to that effect.

Please take notice that

all imports must be

inspected and stamp-ed before delivery of

them can be taken.

The marks put on somepackages do not agreewith those mentionedin the permit. Howis that?

Then you have to payduty on them even

though they are for

your own use.

You have to pay a dutyof 5 mace upon these

ten boxes.

The rate of duty on

cigars is 5 mace per1,000 pieces.

As I understand, cigarsnot exceeding onehundred in numberare exempt fromduty. Why do youimpose duty upon thewhole without de-

ducting one hundred ?

The exemption is notabsolute as is men-tioned in the notice,and therefore you cannot claim such ex-

emption.

ase give me changexr a 10 dollar note.

There is no smallchange here. Youhad better go to anexchange and obtainthe money you want.

Pronunciation

Are you a pilot?

What steamer do youcome from ?

Though you are a pilot,we must examineyour baggage.

It is the rule of thecustoms that the

baggage of any per-son landing from for-

eign-trading vesselsis subject to ourexamination.

As I understand, pilot's

baggage has neverbeen examined before.

Oh, no, you are quitemistaken about it.

If such a case ever

happened, it wassimply because thecircumstances of thecase led the officer

to believe that theexamination was un-

necessary.

Sir, where is yourbaggage ? Nothingelse ? What is in

this baggage ?

,and at the

same time I askedhim whether I mightbe allowed to take

delivery of it at once.

How can you provethat it was broughtfrom Shanghai ?

Is there any proof of it?

The customs' label

attached to that pack-age will surely proveit, I believe.

Can you read the Chinesecharacter printed onthat label?

I can not, but I wastold this meaning bythe cook.

You told me just nowthat yon do not knowthe name of the cook.Did you not?

What Liu has stated at
