Ku dhammaystiro weedhan soo socota: Montagu wuxuu muddo kooban ka soo shaqeeyay Ciidanka Badda Mediterranean-ka isagoo ahaa mid ka mid ah shaqaalaha markabka maraakiibta maraakiibta ee hoos yimaada A. C. Hobart. Waxaa si shaqsi ah u doortay Henry Keppel si uu ugu adeego markabka, markabku wuxuu ka dhoofay Portsmouth isagoo ku sii jeeday saldhigga Shiinaha bishii Oktoobar 1856; Safarka "Raleigh" ee 28-ka maalmood ah ee Cape of Good Hope waxaa loo tixgeliyey inuu yahay rikoor markab shiraac ah. Ka dib markii ay joogsadeen Penang iyo Singapore, "Raleigh" ayaa si deg deg ah ugu sii gudbay Hong Kong
Dagaal ku soo fool leh Shiinaha. Kadib dhowr bilood oo badda ah, "Raleigh" waxay timid soddon mayl Hong Kong, markii 14-kii Abriil 1857 markabku ku dhacay dhagaxyo aan la aqoon. In kasta oo dadaalka shaqaalaha markabka ay ku bixiyeen inay biyaha ka soo saaraan markabka muddo dheer oo ku filan si ay u gaaraan Hong Kong, "Raleigh" waxay ku dhammaatay xeebta xeebta dhoobada, iyadoo shaqaalaha markabka ay u guureen jasiirad u dhow. Iyada oo gacan ka heleysa ciidamada badda ee Faransiiska, shaqaaluhu waxay ku noqdeen Hong Kong, iyadoo Montagu uu ku soo laabtay markabka.
