Commication in these terms has already been sent to the canton Government by telegram.
No.10 Police Motor Bost must be returned to Lomu Bridge, British Territory,at the same time or facilities giren to float her if still ashore.
Should the whole crew of No.10 Police Motor Boat not reach Lowa Bridge,British Territory,by 4 p.m. today,it will be assumed that you have no intention of returning the crew, and necessary moe- sures will be taken to obtain their release."
At 11.00 hours a copy ofthe foregoing commication, in English and Chinese, was despatched by motor cycle to Sheung Shui, where it was handed over to S.I.Hoare, who at once preceeds with an escort to Lowu. I had previously telephoned and instructed s.1. Hoare to cross into C.T.and hand the communication to the strike
picket on duty there,and to impress on the latter that the communi-
cation was of an extremely important nature and must be delivered
with the utmost despatch.

(K), the gist of which was that a special train with a detachment of the Surrey Regiment was coming out to Lou,that the train was to
leave Kowloon at 12.40,that I was to join this train at raipo Market, and that i was to arrange for a strong detachment of police and 2 Lewis Gms to proceed in the same train to Lowu. At about 12,45, while waiting the train at Taipo Market,I received an urgent tal- ophone call from the 1.8.P.(K), who informed me that the surreys would not enter U.T.,but,that,if I had reason to believe that the captured crew were at Sham thun Hailway Station en routs for Canton, I was to use my own judgement as to whether or not I should take my police detachment across the frontier and endeavour rescue then, the Surryts to land whatever covering support might be necessary. En route to Low I disausaed possible measures with the Acting U.0.N. Mr.Williams„Mr.A.M.food and Major Drake,the latter stipulating that nothing be done until after the surrey's had taken up position.

At Lowu I was met by S.I.Hoare,who reported that he had been
