After a distinguished career of over twenty-six years in Coylon, during a large part of which I had the pleasure of being associated with Mr. Creasy in his work, Mr. Crenay arrived in Hongkong in June, 1928, and for over nine years, with only one break for home leave, he has administered the largest of our departments with unswerving loyalty to the Government, with satisfaction to the public, and with distinction to himself. (Applause). He had early experience of the difficulties in store for him here, for he arrived only a day or two after the great typhoon of 1923 to find five vessela sunk in the harbour, several vessels ashore and immense damage to property Ва land.
