Chinese shore-batteries at Nan- tau, on the Kowloon-Canton bor- der, were instrumental in prevent- ing a Japanese armed launch from attacking a Chinese junk on Sa- turday.
The junk which was returning to Hong Kong, was signalled by the launch to stop when nearing Nantau. The master of the junk decided to ignore the signal and sailed full speed ahead making for the shore.
As both boats got nearer to the shore, the launch gradually over- taking the junk, Chinese machine- gun batteries suddenly opened fire on the Japanese launch, forcing the launch to beat a hasty retreat.
The master of the junk return- ed to the Colony yesterday and made this report to the Hong Kong Fishermen's Union. He also stated that on the way to Hong Kong ke saw over a score of derelict junks which had been burned by the Ja- panese.

Chinese flag-shops are doing a rushing business.
