I could not see more than four men, there may have been more in her under the cover. The inner boat was under sail and towing. My Chinese Assistants told me that the outer boat was a mandarin boat having about 18 men in Uniform in her. They said that a boat had run on to the beach in the Bay for protection and that the Mandarin boat had followed her and fired two shots and that the crew in the first boat returned the shots at the Mandarin boat.

I received that report hurriedly and shouted out to the smaller boat to stop. The men would not but went on and fired one or two shots. I don't know that they Aimed at Mr. Ken. It was getting dusk but I saw the boats making towards the Custom's Station at Junk Island. When the boats were gone.
