What did you mean by "everything pointed to that" ?

I I took him down to Tai Hang village. Of course, speak a little Chinese, and I told him several things to say to the people, and he did not interprete

correctly. He appeared afraid, and I said "have you been down to this village without me". He said he had not, and I said "Have you made any money" and he was

very frightened indeed.

Did you report him that afternoon ?

23605

I went immediately to the office and reported him for

absence from duty.

23.606

You say you reported him. Did you report him before

he ran away ?

No, Sir. I went down that morning, and the inspector, Inspector Brett, told me that the interpreter had to

see Dr Clark that morning. I did not report him until

he had seen Dr Clark, and he was not there.

You only reported him after ?
