sir,
With reference to previous correspondence resting with my letter No.44 of 8th November, 1941,
regarding attacks on junks near Hong Kong by
Japanese Naval vessels, I have the honour to forward for Your Excellency's consideration reports of two
cases where in making these attacks sailors from
Japanese vessels have wantonly opened fire killing
Chinese members of the junk erows.

I request that you will, if you think fit,
make these cases the subject of a special protest.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your Excellency's most obedient servant,
(sd) mark young.
His Britannic Majesty's Ambassador,
Gexxe
Governor.
