Mr. F. Cary, Secretary to the Committee, mmagei
the accounts, which involved very considerable work. Ho performed
his duties in a most satisfactory manner, with great tant vid
discretion.
Commander C. W. Beckwith, R.N., Harbour Master, was
in charge of the purchase, carrying, and distribution of coal,
which was required in large quantities for Noval and Military
purposes, for the Colonial Government's account, for the Chinese
Section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway, and for certain logal
industries. His arrangements were thoroughly efficient, and they
resulted in a very great economy, coal being landed in the Colony at a price much below the market rate.

But the thanks of the Goverment are above all
due to the owers of the ships, upon whose loyal and patriotic
co-operation it has been able to rely from the beginning to the
end. It must be remembered that the owers found themselves
deprived of ʼn very large part of thair gamings, at a time of
maximum freights when their competitors were making enormous
profits; and there has been not one complaint. The Shipowning
Protection Association, whose title explains its object, has maintained most cordial relations with the Government throughout, and has given very great assistance. The Association's Chairman, Mr. S. T. Williamson, put his experiance and advice wholly at the Government's service, and he did much to solve difficulties and to smooth away misunderstandings. It may be recorded that, in spite of the many points of law which arose and the inevitable differences of opinion, every question in dispute was invariably settled in a spirit of friendly compromise.

In conclusion I may express my great personal obligation to Their Excellencies Sir Henry May and Mr. Claud
Severn for their assistance and support.
