In addition to these, many were detained by me for want of sufficient accommodation on the upper deck for air and exercise, and for which exclusion the Master of the Gulnare made protest against me, so I believe $20,000 damages.
The Gulnare left Lintin worth 432 Emigrants on board; it would thus appear as my Clearance Certificate was granted for 326 Emigrants only - 30 Emigrants having been landed out of this or lost their lives on the passage from Swatow, and 76 Emigrants were embarked on the ground of refusing to ratify their Contracts, or for want of sufficient accommodation.

My Lord,
Your humble servant,
Emigration Officer, Hongkong.
