Particulars
Mary Ann Tripp recalled that during her first voyage she and Captain Tripp tried to visit the walled city of Canton. They arrived at a nearby port and were taken to the city gates in a car carried by two Chinamen.
They entered the gate but were stopped by a guard, and subsequent attempts at other gates were similarly rejected, after which they gave up the attempt but noted they had been within the city walls.
