Notes:

1. Latitude/longitude, including for days in port, show representative decimal positions for each day, as calculated by the Old Weather project's analysis program. As such, they differ by varying amounts from the positions recorded, usually at noon, in the log pages. In addition, some latitudes/longitudes have been amended in edited logs for errors in the logs, for errors in identifying locations by the analysis program, or simply for greater accuracy. In all cases, refer to the log-page scans for the positions as originally recorded. Not all log pages contain this information and the ships' positions have therefore often been estimated.

2. Full account of any day is available by clicking on the link above that day. Groups of links refer to log book covers and introductory information; some may be blank.

Editor’s notes:

Photo of HMS Kinsha at China station, 1907: http://www.queenslandfamilytrees.com/showmedia.php?mediaID=3970andtngpage=756

The positions given on the second line of each day’s entry are either the known co-ordinates of a port or the editor’s best guess of where the vessel was at noon on that day. The latter are marked [approx] and are usually calculated with the help of the Journey Plotter program. Note however that the course of the Yangtse and the lakes to either side of it have greatly changed over the years, often moving islands to the banks and eradicating large towns and cities, so the modern map can only be an approximation.

Each day’s summary of events is a précis of the full log, with purely routine entries omitted, although occasionally, when in port on the first day of a month, I have included all the entries to give a flavour of the routine. The original page can be viewed by clicking on the link above the date.

Acknowledgements.
There are hyperlinks for ships, places and people when first encountered and we are greatly indebted to the numerous websites that have provided the source material for these. http://en.wikipedia.org is the most common of course, particularly strong on US Navy vessels. http://www.geographic.org provides co-ordinates and maps and http://hpc.vcea.net is an astonishing source of historic photographs of China. http://navypedia.org has details of many obscure naval vessels of the period and http://www.theshipslist.com does the same for the merchant vessels and the shipping lines, while http://www.wrecksite.eu is a comprehensive and valuable resource for the ships that didn’t make it back to port.
http://www.photoship.co.uk is the place to go for ship photos (and hours of happy browsing) and finally some little known sites that provided the last pieces of the jigsaw, http://www.pbenyon.plus.com, http://www.australianmerchantnavy.com, http://www.readyayeready.com, http://www.findmypast.com and http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg and http://www.queenslandfamilytrees.com.
To the unsung volunteers who maintain these sites, we are extremely grateful. Those of us fascinated by the ships that no longer leave a wake on the ocean and their ghostly crews who have downed their last tot, are very much in your debt. We thank and applaud you.

HMS Kinsha now remains in Shanghai until early May 1919. Ratings come and go, ships arrive and depart, but Kinsha remains at the SNO’s buoy, occasionally being struck by passing vessels. These incidents are recorded here, as well as any unusual activity, but otherwise the log records the endless round of cleaning, painting and refitting, the taking in of stores and provisions, exercises, church and liberty that is the lot of Jack in port. It is very repetitive and those who want to know these details will have to refer to the original page, as I have not usually included them here.

These courtesy calls are of course required by naval custom, but at this time, when local conditions changed from day to day and commanding officers had a great deal of autonomy, they served a very practical purpose too, cementing good relations and exchanging up-to-date intelligence.
