boat and our junk both dropped anchor. At about 08.00 hours
this morning (22.1.40) a launch named KWAI HING which was towing
two junks passed close by to us. The Japanese motor boat then
got up anchor and towed my boat alongside the KWAI HING launch.
On going the KWAI HING launch one of the Chinese fokis who was
one of the junks which was being towed by the launch and who
could speak Japanese said "We are going to take your cargo".
The crew of one of the junks called the HANG FAT Firm then
removed my 15 baskets of dried ducks aboard their junks. The
launch then towed the two junks towards Hong Kong while the
Japanese motor boat dropped anchor. I then sailed my boat to
CHEK WAN where I and another cargo owner named TSANG TAI ON
landed and walked to HAU HOI Village and boayed a passenger boat
to LAU FAU SHAN (B.T.) and walked to PING SHAN Police Station
arriving there at about 12.45 hours on the 22.1.40 where I made
a report. I was sent by the Officer in Charge to make a report
at the Water Police Station.
At 14.15 hours I boarded a bus for Kowloon whilst
in the bus and near the Hong Kong Brewery, TSUN WAN I saw the
launch towing the two junks towards Hong Kong.
