of Wong a How a grower of vegetables. My claustman had been in the employ of Wong a Kow, and as he was leaving his employ he recommended me to take his place. Before that I had knowledge of Akow. On the 7th October a Chinese Official named Wong Sing-tak, who is employed at the Customs station at Kap-Ding-Mun came to visit Akow who was a clansman - but few. Wong Sing-tak said "there are vegetables here, you had better come on board my junk and I will give you employment." He said he would give me $3 a month and rations, and I accepted the offer and went on board the Customs Junk at lapsing men. Wong Sing-tak came to Akow's house that day, and I returned with him to his junk.

We walked to Sam-Sui-po and then got a boat to the Cap Sui Mun. There were about 30 men, soldiers and others, employed on the junk. Wong Sing-tak and a clerk were on the junk (Wong Sing-tak had two sons on the junk). The business of the men on board was to search vessels.

On the 25th November Wong ordered me and four other men to go to Yeung Sha Wan, near the Lamma Islands, opposite to Aberdeen, to find out if any smuggling was going on. The son of Wong Sing-tak was one of the five men and he had command. He is about 26 years of age.
