I put the link to this hydrographical sea chart on the thread connected with Plover Bay. However I thought it deserves an image in its own right on Gwulo as the names are so evocative, e.g. Crooked Harbour, Port Shelter, Rocky Hanrbour and the Nine Pin Group of islands, and I'm not sure if they still exist. There's also a nice little glossary of Chinese to English geographical terms. From the information given, I believe the chart was from the 1906 British Survey but not printed till 1912 and then reissued by the US during World War 2.

This was probably taken on the excursion to the Plover Cove waterfall shown in the previous two photos. I'm afraid I don't know the names of any of the occupants of the boat. I don't think the landscape behind is quite the same as in the photo labelled "Waterfall Cove".

This is the only waterfall in WRF's 1928-1929 album of photos taken mainly in Hong Kong and up and down the China coast. It's not a very dramatic waterfall - dry season perhaps? I don't know if it's Bride's Pool waterfall or if it is connected with the photo of "Waterfall Cove" https://gwulo.com/atom/34820

Another photo from the 1928-1929 album of WR Fell - the best I could do, I'm afraid. There are several photos of excursions around the coast in this cutter which sometimes took as many as seven on board.
