The Chairman then rose and said:- "This Society

is now in receipt of letters from Chinese residents and has invited the deceased's relatives and Messrs Butterfield and Swire's representatives to meet and be reconciled. I must ask Messrs Butterfield and Swire's representative and the deceased's relatives in the presence of you all to arrange a settlement."

Messrs Butterfield and Swire's representative,

Mo Yung Yu, and the deceased's relative, Ho Yu Tiao, both rose and faced one another. The Chairman then asked r.

to whether he held Mesars Butterfield and Swire's full

authority to act. Mr. Ho said he did. The Chairman then

asked him to sign a document to that effect. He then asked

Mr. Ho whether he likewise held a full authority to act

and, if so, to sign a similar di document. This Mr. Ho accordingly did. Then Lesers Ho and Ho, in the presence of the meeting, discussed and came to a complete arrangement

as to the terms of the settlement. The Chairman then askod

them to sign the agreement. This was thon read out to the

meeting by the spokesman and received with much applause.

The Chairman then rose and said:- "With reference

to this case Kissars Butterfield and Swire have already

dismissed the Captain of the "Fatshan". They have stated

the true facts of the murder of the passenger by the Portuguese watchman and have shown themselves desirous

of pressing for an enquiry. They have also agreed never again to employ the Portuguese, and have paid £5,200 com-

pensation to the deceased's relatives, and have posted

notices enjoining kindly treatment, for their Chinese pas- sengers in future. This closes their connection with the

case.
