Shortly after S.S. "KINSHAN" was observed approaching
from the northward. I communicated with her and asked her
to summon H.M.S. "PETEREL".
"PETEREL" joined me at 1400 and
took over charge of the operations.

Ammunition expended
13 pans of Lewis Gun and about
30 rounds of rifle. The range was never less than about 1,000
yards. The coxswain and crew of "YUET TUNG" obeyed my orders
quickly and were of great assistance.
I have the honour to be.
Sir.
Your obedient Servan t,
THE SENIOR JAVAL OFFICER,
WEST RIVER.

R.ALEXANDER.
SUB. LIEUTENANT.
