(26) Reached [[strikethrough]] Haifo of [[/strikethrough]] Haiphong at 1 P.M.  At daylight we were off a very broken coast where hundreds of jagged rocks could be seen raising their fantastic shapes.  At noon we took on a pilot at the mouth of the Red River & steamed for about an hour up the river.
The land here is a broad level plain without mountains & the banks are low & brigh green with grass & herbs.  Forest is not noticable to any degree.
The river was very muddy & brownish red by silt.  When we dropped anchor in the river opposite the town a swarm of boatmen with their sampans boarded us clamoring for baggage.  We finally got into a row with them after they had dropped overboard a heavy box of ammunition.  This box was afterward recovered by a diver & the cartridges dried in the engine room.
