The following version of the origin of the trouble is given by the "Canton Gazette" ¡----

One man was slightly injured on Monday in a fight between the crew of a motor boat and a junk at the waterfront near the Chung Shun Wharf, West Bund. It ap pears that the motor boat, which was crossing the river from Honan, collided with a junk and the bows of both junk and motor boat were damaged. This led to altercation, and from words the rival'crews went to blows; knives and revolvers were also used. The police intervened to prevent further serious develop- ments and ultimately the coxa- wain of the motor boat and the junk owner were arrested and taken to the police station. The injured man was sent to hospital.
