Yochow

— The river between Hankow and Yochow is straight for the first and last parts of its course; part in the middle makes a loop twenty-eight miles round, the neck being only about a mile across… On the way from the river to Yochow at the head of the lake, a great number of sheep and goats with a few points were seen grazing on a low grassy flat, covered in floods; these were the only sheep seen on the river for a distance of 1,800 miles.
