Decisions are arrived at that they cheerfully submit to them.
The objection to the numbers is not tenable, the Junk owners complain that they render them liable to squeezes from the rulers of the Villages with which they trade.
As yet no special case has been brought to my notice.
The effect of the Ordinance has been most beneficial. Hong Kong had acquired the character of a place where Piracies might be concerted and vessels fitted out with impunity, but I trust this has now ceased.
A professional pirate is not likely to venture in any of the Ports of the Colony knowing that he would be immediately boarded and made to account for his visit, which if found unsatisfactory would lead to his detection or dismissal from the Harbor.
Section XXI, which provides for the non-importation of Mendicants, will, I hope, soon put a stop to the influx of diseased and blind beggars to this Colony.
The outstations have been visited by the Assistant Harbor Master, and it is to be regretted there is not a better description of vessel for this purpose, as I am satisfied the uncertainty of a fast vessel would be fraught with much good.
The Ordinance is working most satisfactorily, and although the Harbor Staff has been considerably increased to ensure its efficiency, the revenue arising therefrom is ample to meet the expenditure.
I have the honor to be,
Your Most Obedient Servant,
A. S. Momsett, Harbor Master.
