It should have been mentioned that at an earlier stage the 2 captured sergeants had been brought in to help to complete the tally of arms and amamition, as Mr. Fu had mialaid his om list. They said they had not been ill- treated and had been able to buy food and drink, but had not slept for mosquitoes. They remained in the temple with us. Mr. Williams and I signed the receipt and I suggested that Ir. Gerrard should come in also and sign. This was done, and was satisfactory as it was objectionable that Mr. Gerrard should not be admitted at all. Nothing more was said about his revolver. Then followed a trying wait while the arms were being produced; Mr. Williams went back alone to reassure our people at the frontier. The hitch was due to part of the arms and ammmition being in the hands of pickets guarding the motor boat, a long way off. While Mr. Gerrard and I were waiting, trying to make pleasant conversation, the hum of an aeroplane was heard and there was some emitement and anger. Later a report came that troops had entered Chinese Territory, and the atmosphere grew difficult again. We took the opportunity to suggest that we need not

wait for the arms: we trusted them to hand them to ua at the

Bridge Head when collected: we had all better return and

incidentally ask the soldiers not to come into Chinese Territory. Eventually this was agreed to and Mr. Gerrard, Mr. Krok and I left with the 7 captives and walked back

unmolested to Lo Tu.

Kr. Ju assured us that his intention was sincere to hand over all the arms: one revolver had been sent to Canton that morning as evidence, but would be returned to us, probably in 2 days time: the motor boat was at our disposal to take away as soon as we like. Provided they were not
