Mr. Tsor Shou-sin, Szechuan merchant, and
a woman, Hsu Kwong-tam.
All four were burned to death while the machine was reduced to ashes by the fire which broke out after the crash occurred.
It is now also established that there was no official of the Hong Kong branch of the Bank of China on board that machine, the Chief Secretary of the Bank of China (Hong Kong) having left by an earlier plane.

Both are now being treated in hospital.
