going, that he exclaimed what house it was. we went.
On the same night (24th moon) It was at Hung Shun Sha. Fat explained. I said I would not rob a European house Ifr.a. Fat said "If you don't go I'll cut you," because I have prepared everything.
There were 9 men in all. Chia-Sing, Lu-^on, Shim-a-King (whom I can't recognize). I don't recollect the other four names, all were Hak-Kas, except myself. Sam a Punti but well acquainted with Hak-Kas. We had shields, single bambos, shears, and short 3-fronged shears and swords and one musket. I don't recollect the name of the man with the musket. Another man named Lok-a-Kwai I now remember was there.
We had hafer torches. Three or four torches of folded hiaper with oil. I don't Know where they made everything prepared. I had a shield. If-a-Fat stayed with me for a few days before; he would come in for meals, he did not sleep in the house. He would come away and would suffer and break fast. All the arms were on the hill side above Hung Shun Sha. When we got near, we went up to get them being told to do so by If-a-Fat; these were under cover of the brush.
