Swatow, in China, now called Shantou, is mentioned several times in Missee Lee. Swatow was the next intended port of call of Wild Cat on her second voyage after leaving the hundredth port. It was a treaty port in those days. Captain Flint had an old friend there (ML1) whom they planned to visit. The harbourmaster says Go by steamship and get the visit over rather than risk an encounter with "Missee Lee". At the end they found their way to Singapore where they send off a telegram. Then they went on with their voyage and finish at St Mawes in Cornwall (ML27).
