About Hong Kong
Do you know that--
An American once acted as executioner here?
This was in 1849 when six pirates who had been captured by H.MS. Inflexible were found guilty and, sentenced to death. The duty of execu- tioner was entrusted to an American, whose brother had been killed by pirates some years before.
In 1852, six Portuguese sna- mon who had committed mur- der and piracy on the British barque Herald were sentenced to death, and on this occasion the hangman was a coloured American prisoner whoso term of imprisonment was romitted for his services.
