Li Hung-chang has reported to us that the season of the autumn freshets has passed over without any mishap occurring on the Yellow River in the Tungming district. This we consider to be another token of the secret aid of the divine powers for which we are deeply. grateful and we hereby order that ten sticks of Tibetan incense be transmitted to Li Hung-chang. This incense he will hand to Lo Chi Intendant of the Pa Shun-kuang Circuit who will reverently proceed to the shrines of the Pa wang at Lilienchuang, Kaotsun and Huangehuang and there burn the same on our behalf.
