Enclosure 1-
412
Honourable Colonial Sacre
I have to report another large seizure
of revolvers and ammunition contained in 14 barrels
per 8/9. "Tenyo Maru". The goods were manifested
as shrimps, and came from San Francisco from the
packing it appears as if the arms came from the
same source as those seized recently ex. "President
Wilson". The packers were evidently Chinese, as
the contents of some packages were written in
Chinese, There were about 300 .38 cal. revolvers
some long some short barrels, all new most in their
original boxes, and about 50,000 rounds of .38
ammunition long and short and German Mauser anmini-
tion in clips. The revolvers were Smith Wassé on 'a
and Harrington and Richardson's short ,38, manufac-
tured in United States of America, all the .38
ammunition was of United States of America
manufacture.
