Hongkong, 26th September, 1918.
Ferry Service.
We are instructed by Mr. Wong Lan Sang on behalf of the
Shut Luk Company to forward you the enclosed tender for the
Ferry Service.
We are at the same time instructed to state that the
tender is sent in under protest inasmuch as our client
maintains, in view of the origination and organization of
such service by him and of the carrying on the same for the
public benefit since it was started, and in view of his offer to continue carrying on the same under whatever regulations the Govemment might think fit to impose for
the three years covered by the present tender, that justice
and fairness demand that the service should not be taken
out of his hands for such period of three years,
The Shut Luk Company is the name adopted by the parties
at present carrying on the service for the purpose of the
tender.

We have the honour to be,
sir,
Your obedient Servants,
Deacon, Looker, Deacon & Harston.
The Hon. Colonial Secretary.
