S.S.
Admiralty full particulars of the sinking of eleven Chinese fishing junks off Chilang point by Japanese submarine. Scharnhorst rescued ten survivors and brought them to
Hong Kong where they remain.
As it may be important to substantiate the dates and
other details I propose subject to your approval to hold enquiry here Marine Court (sec Section 19 of Ordinance 10 1899
would be impossible in view of definition of ships in Section ¿ (n) of the same, apart from nationality question. A Commissio
under Section 2 of Ordinance 13 of 1986 with personnel equivalent to Marine Court would seem appropriate.
