The landing has been officially confirmed as having occurred at Blackhead Point, or half a mile north-east of the Point, which is well

The rumour to the effect that an armed Japanese party landed in British territory near Castle Peak Saturday night and stole chickens from
a neighbouring village has now been denied by the Police.
It is stated that the original report arose from mis-statements by the villagers.

The train bringing American and British refugees from Hanı- kow has left Wongshn. on the final stage of its journey.
Over 200 persons are on board the train but they will have to change at Canton since the coaches are not coming through to Kowloon.
Some will come down by the boat which arrives in Hongkong this evening and the majority will come by the train which leaves Canton at 4.50 p.m. and is scheduled to arrive in Kowloon at 7.45 p.m. It is unlikely, how- ever, that the train will be on time at this end.
