Alright, Ward asked you to act as Interpreter. Well now SM1

what did you do. What happened then ?

The master had given him $30. Ward said he did-nt particularly care about money. "You make me two books (Passbook he meant) to get provisions with". He said

*I will perhaps get a little beef during a week. I only want a little. I dont want very much. Then you credit

me with itin a month's time, so that it will be that

noone shall know about it".

Does he mean, when he says "credit the account in a 1923 month" - does he mean simplý take it as Inspector Ward having paid the money, without really paying for it ? Yes, to consider that the money had come, but there was

no money to be paid.

Then what did the Tung Wing man say after that? The manter seemed at first as if he did not care much about it, and Ward said "I dont want much, only a

little".

And then gave the passbook to him afterwards ?
