NAVAL EXPERT TELLS OF SUBMARINES
Junk Sinking Inquiry At
Supreme Court
"Supposing you were cruising off the South China Coust and you saw a submarine with white, black and white bands painted around the conning tower, could you from those indications form any view as to its nationality?" was the question put forward by Mr. John Whyatt to Lt.-Comdr. R. R. Herbert, expert in distin- guishing marks attached to submarines of Naval Powers, at the third hearing of the "Junk-Sinking Inquiry." at the Supreme Court yesterday, when the "valce of experience" echoed the reply that his first impression would be that it was a Japanese sub- marine. Mr. "Whyatt's question was based on the results of.evi- dence given by survivors.
Harrowing tales, expressive of untold dévastation and suffer- ing, were told by an eye-witness who recalled the tragedy of the merciless shelling and sinking of a fleet of Chinese fishing 'junks, allegedly by the-Hands of a malicious Japanese submarine crew.
EXPERT. EVIDENCE
Inspector Shannon was prose- cuting in a case in which Ng Kan, 20, Fong Wing, 17, and Tang Kwok-wah, 18. all unemployed, were charged with larceny of 180 cattles of wolfram ore valued at $400. The facts were that Ling Tak, 3 shop assistant, had cross- ed over to Hong Kong from Yau- mati at about 11.30 am, on Wed- The inquiry is being conducted nesday with eight bags of the ore, by a special Government appointed Outside the ferry whart he was Commission qomprising His Honour surrounded by a crowd of coolies the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl Mac- who snatched the bags from him.

Yu Man-hoi, assistant compra- dore of the Kaying, gave evidence to the effect that, while the steam- er was on a voyage from Shanghai to Hong Kong on September 27, he saw at a distance two men, whose nantes he discovered to be Ho Pak- kan and Ho Pak-shing, calling out for help, clinging to a raft. After being picked and taken on board, they looked very murh exhausted, their hands and feet being very pale as if they had been in water for a long time,
Are you familiar with naval craft operating the China Seas?—Yes.
And in particular, submarlties?—
Yes
Can you tell me from your ex- perience what colour submarines are usually painted?-Usually grey, from 1:ght or silvery grey to dark the grey, largely depending on nature of the operations on which the submarine may be engaged.

Are you speaking of the British Navy?—No, all Navies,

Mr. GS. P. Heywood, Assistant Director of the Royal Observatory, was then called.
Mr. Whyatt: Is it the practice of the Observatory to complle wea- ther maps twice daily?--Yes, morn ing and afternoon.
From your experience and know- ledge are these weather maps for the most part accurate?—Yes.
Have you brought with you cer- tain weather maps covering Sept. 21 to Sept. 27?—Yes.
These maps show the sort of weather prevailing in the vicinity of Chilang Lighthouse throughout that period?-One can adduce from them.
What sort of numerals do they use?-Arabic.
And whereabouts do they usually paint these numerals?-On the hull before the conning tower, towards the bow.
Supposing now you are cruising off the south China Coast, and sup- posing you saw a submarine with an Arabic numieral."7" painted on the hull, could you from your ex- perience form any opinion, as to the nationality of the submarine?
That would be a Japanese sub- marine, but I should require more“ certain evidence than that.
PORTABLE MACHINE-GUNS
Is it the practice of some navies to paint white or black bands or their vessels?-It is done in most Navles; for instance, in the Britian Navy our destruyers have bands, on the funnels,

And from the reports you re- ceived you expect the sea to be smooth? Yes.
EVENTUALLY RESCUED Fung Chan-ho, native of Macao, testified that on the morning of Beptember 22 he was on board junk No. 1822 of Chilang Lighthouse, when he saw at a distance a pair of junks hit by gunfire.
