Honourable Colonial Secretary,
Further information states that the
Harbour Master has been sent home to Portugal, that he
received a cheque for $3,000 for his share. The Harbour
Master's cheque is said to have been stopped. The opinion expressed now is that the Harbour Office and
Police have made a practice, for a handsome remuneration,
of escorting in a Portuguese Government launch the
opium farmer's illicit exports of opium.
