In reply to the second paragraph of your
despatch No.193 of the 21st.June, I have the honour to state
that in the absence of the Principal Civil Medical Officer
it is not possible to explain the figures to which you refer.
I have however to transmit for your information the enclosed
losure #July, 1900.00
copy of a minute by the Medical Officer of Health, from which
it would appear that Dr.Atkinson has misapplied certain fi-
zures taken from the Annual Report of the Harbour Master.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your most obedient
humble servant,
Hung ashake
