Every one was coffined by the Tung Wa Hospital authorities. These are the typhoon bodies, and I was

working there from 5 o'clock in the morning, Sir, till 11 o'clock at night, at these trenches, and European residents were complaining about bodies in the road. What could I do? And I got the coolies to carry them on to the hill side, and put them there, to take them away from the view of the public.

mean they gava up ohacking ?

No, that simply means that I chook them off myself. When I first came here, I didnt know what ma to be done about the cemeteries, and that me the practice adopted previous to my coming here. As you will see,

the beginning of that was shortly after my joining the

Department.
