The East Indiaman Endeavour had been sent to pilot the ships of the embassy to Tianjin, and joins the squadron when it reaches the Yellow Sea.

The mission arrives at the mouth of the Hai River (known as the Pei Ho in European sources of this time) on July 25, and drops anchor, finding the muddy water impassable for the larger vessels.

The gifts are unloaded from the British ships and transferred upstream to Dagu by junks.

From here, they are unloaded again onto smaller boats to Tongzhou, the endpoint of the Grand Canal.
