E 8
(c) So-called fishing junks of about 80 piculs capacity, manned by 2 adults and a boy, have been extensively used to smuggle Spirits of Wine and Chinese spirits from Macau. They rarely make any report to the Clearance Offices at either port; in some cases they have no licence whatever. These craft have a flush deck, with the hold divided into 4 or more water-tight compartments, and make the run from Macau so as to arrive here during the hours of darkness. Aberdeen and Shaukeiwan are the harbours most favoured by them, while some have been captured in Kap Shui Mun, Tsun Wan, and Ching I Bays.
