The "arrangement" that will be come to is patent
to anyone; a nominal fine will be imposed on Luklao and they will be told not to do it again, and the foreigners

to all this,
Nothing has yet been done to the people at Shuk-Wan who stoned the "Sandpiper", and it is safe to say that if the matter is left to His Excellency the
acting Viceroy Tak nothing will be done at Luklao,
