· s~m to shmv that whm·c portions of ono Stnto. are .divided by tho Seo., ns .the
Isfond of Singapore iB from Johoro, tho .Sovereignty of .that Sto.to docs not
cx'tcmd to t.hoso portions of the Strait which o.ro more than a cannon shot from
either oi' ~ coasts, n.nd consequently thn.t, · where the Strait is more thnn six
miles wiclc, the mid<llo part is not with the jurisdiction of the Stn.to. And if
the mi<l<llo lmrt did no't belong to Johore before the cession of Singapore,
the cession could not forego tho dominion over it.
·with respect to the po.rticuln.r questio·n ro.iscd by the Tumongong in the
11rcsent correspomlenco, it follows, from the principle o.uovo etn.tcd, tho.t the
'l'umongong's contention n.s to his own juri,d1ction beyond low wo.tor ml\.rk
fa wholly untcnn.blo according to tho Treaty, whenever the low · water mark is
within ten miles of tho . Island of Bingo.pore, nnd tho.t our flshormcn hnvo
the right to fish without nny Po.ss from the J ohoro Authoritios within ·three
miles of the low water ma.l'k, ·,; r11Jtoy hnvo no right, however, to encroo.oh n.t nU
hi:yond that mark. The ~ucstion therefore 1·csolves itself into one of f'aot,
viz., as to whether our ftsherics were fishing beyond, or within low water murk
nt the time of their being molested.
As to the 'l'uroongong's apprehensions rcsrccting the effect of the Tl'enty,
if constructl litr,rnlly, in do11riving him of Jurisdiction for nets committed
in his I1orts, or upori n. Jetty earrictl out into tho Sea 1,cyond · low water mnrk,
I conceive tha.t there is no foundation for thorn. I do not think thn.t nnclo1·
the 'frcn.ty . the . British jnrisiliction would nttach to nny J>ot·t, pro110rly so
called, or the ,Tohoro coast, or to any Jetty forming, though nrtiflciu.lly pnrt
oi' the .t:1horc. 'l'hesc arc in their nature, nppurtcnancos of the lnnd, nml
fall strictly within the dominions . of Stn.te possessing the land. It' by rcnson
of the Sovereignty ceded to us. in the Sens, . we sec reason to object to tho
u:;e maclc of any portion of these Seas by tho !rurnongong, as for instn.nco,
hy his running out· n. Jetty of extra01·dinn.ry longth muoh furthor hoyond
low water mark Umn tho exigencies of the en.so ro<1uiro, ,vo sliould, I think,
rcmonstmtc nt Oto time of tho first n11proprio.tion1 · or within a rcnsonnblo
time nftcr wo discoycr it. Dut ho.ving nllowCll it to ho rondo without
ol1jcctiou, we cannot, I think, while it continues in.use, object to the exercise
in respect of it, of tho 'l'crritorinl jurisdictfon which nnturally o.ttnches to it
as nn appurtcnrmce of tho coast. 'l'heroforo, I <lo not think that in tho CllBO
of a Foreign Ship lying in such a . Port, · or loading or . unloading .. at such a
Jetty, or in the case of oif ences committed there by . Foreigners · or su 1,j cots
of J ohore, we 001;1,ld. cl~i1:1 jurisdiction, or contest. the right of the Court
of Johorc to cxcrc1seJur1sd1ebon. · . · ·. .
.As to jurisdiction in co.sea of piracy, to which ,Colonel C~venngh. rcfors,·
I think, for. the reason a.hove st..'ttcd, thn.t where offences a.re committed, whether
by British subjects, subjects of Johorc,· or :Poreigncr..s, generally,. within ten
miles of the coo.sts of Singapore, or of n.ny of the Islets, or wit_hin th_rce miles of
the coast of Johore (excluding the water above low wo.tc(nlnrk; and l'orts,
J ctties, &c. on tho eonst), such ofi'ence will 110 cogniznlilo by:Jho Dritish
Courts as having .been committed within British. waters .. )V_hen offences
nrc committed more than three miles from the:. coast either·_,:'of Sinf:,"tlpore,
or the Isln.nd of J ohorc ; . or when, though within . three .. miles of' the
coa.st of J'ohorc, they nro more Uwn ten miles from that of Singapore,
they will only he cogniza.lJlc generally hy the lh-Hish .Coul'ts where they ho.vo
hecu committed by llritish suhjects, ot· on hoard· a llritislt Ship. ·when,
however, they amount to acts. of ph·acy, u.n<l the· sense in which the term

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 Bin tang, 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 southeast
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.

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

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 \Vy lie 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 description,
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.
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-pislnt",
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-peichih"
and the antecedents of the chart.
The British Museum has four imperfect copies of the Wupei-
chih: none of them contains tlie chart.

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, illustrated
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 Tsunghsien'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

does not hesitate to call it" Chart of the maritime voyages
of Tcheng Houo ". (T'omzg Pao. Vol. XXX. (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 carefully
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 century
(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 ",

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)'·
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 islands
; 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. However
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 powerdriven
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 confronted
with this difficulty when explaining the " Malacca Vocabulary
" (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 designation
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' " ChineseEnglish
Dictionary of the Vernacular or Spoken Language of A moy'' :·
1 93 7] Royal Asiatic Society.
. 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 Pekingese,
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
(b) the direction is mid-way between 120° and 135° i.e. 127}0
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 navigation
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,
705
706
Malaya in the \\Tu~Pei-Chih Charts. 9
On this subject, Mr. Best writes:-" I have taken the .·bearings_
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 Is 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 pro ba 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.

Photostatic copies both of Phillips' map arid of the Hai-yiin-yaoliieh
map -(as well as the other Malayan maps mentioned in this
paper) may be found at Raffles Library, in '.' A Collection of Historical
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 represents
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 sailingdirections
of the Chart, and lastly added some comments and
explanations.
First Section : Butang Islands to Kerimun Islands.

but a close examination will disclose with reasonable certainty
the exact course laid down and also the approximate situation,
if not always the actual identity, of the places which are marked.

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

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.

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 installation

h November 1946, 6.45 pm
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.

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
on at 6.35 pm (1835) on the 301
h April. The power is 3 times greater then the old
optic. At appx 1900 hours 1 st 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
