(4)  Called on the British Consul, Gough to whom we had applied for information by letter several weeks ago from Fouchow.  It is the custom here & elsewhere that the British Consul acts as the agent for Americans if they have no residents consul.  He told us of some trouble he had with some American missionaries on the [[Buchura?]] border in the [[?Shan]] Straits who persisted in going among dangerous peoples.
