'Tanjong Pagar Chin Seng Hill mouth' i.e. the road on to which Chin Seng Hill opens (or faces) at Tanjong Pagar.
(I do not suppose that this name would help one much to locate the street in speaking to a Chinaman, but there are no names for this or many other of the numerous new streets off Tanjong Pagar Road. However I was given this description as applicable to Bernam Street among others. 'Chin-Seng Hill' is what is usually called Bukit Kim Cheng.') 'Rochore Road no end lane.'
(This is a small blind alley off Rochore Road.) 'Race Course Lane.'
(See Belilios Road). 'Within the godowns (quarter).'
(Gu-lang' is not Chinese, but is simply 'godown' pronounced in Hokkien fashion. I do not know why such a name is specified for such an insignificant street as Blanco Court.) (i) Sampan ghaut or landing-place.'
(This applies to the lower part of Boat Quay near Purvis Creek.)
