To sum up the port in a few words, its managers can make or repair marine and other engines, and produce any desired woodwork for house building or ship repairing.
They build ships and equip them with machinery ready for sea.
The establishment is under the direct supervision of Mr.Woods, an American citizen of Scotch birth.

Mr.Elliott, a Massachusetts Yankee, and Mr.Laney, an Englishman, are connected with the affair.

Mr.
Elliott had become a permanent fixture by marrying a Russian woman and purchasing a commodious house.

The three men appeared to take great pride in what they had accomplished in perfecting the port.
It was a little curious to see at the mouth of the Amoor a steam fire engine from the Amoskeag Works at Manchester, N.H.The engine was labelled 'Amoor' in Russian characters, and appeared to be well treated.

A house was assigned it, and watchmen were constantly on duty.
