I looked for

to Ping Shan Police Station and reported the result of my
enquiries to Mr. Booker, Assistant Superintendent of Police
(New Territories). Subsequent to this I again visited Deep Bay
on board No.3 Police Launch on 20th September, 1939, and was
present when the Officer in Charge, Acting Sub-Inspector George
took a bearing on the position of the wreck. On 22nd September,
1939, I again visited Deep Bay on board No.3 Police Launch
accompanied by the owner of the junk CHAU HANG TSAN ( 周恒赞

when boarded by the Japanese. On being pointed out Acting Sub-
Inspector George took a bearing, these are contained in attached
statements from Acting Sub-Inspector George. The wreck of this
junk now lies in Castle Peak Bay.
