Sw—Your article describing the Pootung Cemetery as being "kept in a wonderful state of tidiness by the Superintendent of atunicipal Cemeencourages me to draw the tention of the Public to the deplor: fable state of the small foreign Cemetery at Chang-War-Pang, near Woosung. This cemetery is situated alongside a cinder path that leads from the Chang-War-Pang Railway Station to the Woosung Military Road. It is about 120 feet long and 50 feet broad, surrounded. by a small brick wall which was damaged during the Sino-Japanese trouble in 1932 and has been partly patched up bamboo fencing.
The land between the graves is T have no knowledge of the history of this cemetery but I know that the Whangpoo near here was a favourite anchorage for sailing ships in the days.
There are only three visible monu-' ments but there are obviously the remains of others. The only two Inscriptions that can be read are as follows:
Memory of—Henry Perkins—HAMS. Aurora—Aceldentally drowned at Woosung—June Lith 1001—Aged 21 Years—in the midst of life we are in eath—This stone was erected by his 20" ans—Requieseat In Pace.
