passengers on the Wing Shing were put on board the Kam Ling. Then the Wing Shing started in the direction of Hung Hom. The Kam Ling started and went to Sha Chau (or Seine-chateni point as it was also known). One of the Chinese passengers jumped overboard there. A passenger boat happened to be there. It picked the man up because he called out "save life".
The Kam Ling stopped. Some of the people on board, I do not know whether crew or passengers, called out to the people in the passenger boat that a man had fallen overboard from the Kam Ling, and some crew put him in the hold and then put hatches on it. The Kam Ling went to the Howloon stone wharf at Kowloon City.
When we reached the wharf, a steam launch flying the Chinese flag was near there; she sent a small boat with about ten men with red waistbands, and what appeared to be plain clothes of different colours. The boat came alongside the Kam Ling.
Four men from the boat came on board the Kam Ling; 4 of them went down into the hold, and brought the man up and took him ashore. Some of them carried him by the legs and some by the arms. The other men from the boat followed behind; all went along the wharf. As soon as the men had got on to the wharf, the Kam Ling started and went to Hung Hom.
One man was left in the boat. There were about ten men in the boat when it came alongside the steam Kam Ling. I went ashore at Hung Hom. I did not hear any order given to take down the boat nor to stop the engines.
Besides the Portuguese and Spaniards who were on board the Wing Shing, there were 20 or 30 Chinese on board her. When the Wing Shing left the Kam Ling, she had only her Chinese crew and the Portuguese and Spaniards on board.
