Basil Lubbock's The Opium Clippers, cited in the original entry, is quite clear that the Double Island in question was that at what was then called Swatow . The island is one of two that lie in the entrance to the river at Shantou and is the inner one, then called Masu. Today it is called Mayu . For corroboration see Mayers & Dennys, The Treaty Ports of China and Japan for the identity of Double Island. For the typhoon and the damage to the vessels, The Courier, 22nd December, 1858, p.3 for a report of Mr Midwood, of the Commissariat service, resident on Double Island during the typhoon.
