There picked it up. I do not know the boat's number. The launch stopped. I heard the crewman of the launch and the soldier call out to the boat people "bring him alongside the launch." The boat came alongside with U A-fung. I saw the boatmen hold U A-fung up to the side of the launch. The soldier on board dragged him up on board and put him in the cabin. They beat him on deck. I heard him call out "save my life" in the cabin. I heard a young man say "start." Then we started, and went straight to Kowloon City. He got off at Kowloon City but did not go alongside the wharf. The soldier took U A-fung and put him in a boat which was ready at the launch; it was waiting there with soldiers in it. It was not lowered down from the launch. Then they rowed to the stone wharf, and then the soldiers carried U A-fung holding him by the arms and legs on to the wharf. They went towards Kowloon City. The launch went alongside the wharf and some of the passengers landed there. I landed at Kowloon City. The launch left going in the direction of Hung Hom. I went back to Tokwawan and told U A-fung's wife. His wife and I then went to Hung Hom Station and reported there. A coolie named M. Akwai went with us because it was night and I was afraid.

It was between 8 and 9 pm. U Akwai, U A-fung's wife, and I then went to Yaumati Station, arriving about 10 or 11 pm, and reported to Inspector Thomson. I was the only witness who went into Yaumati Station from Hung Hom Station to Yaumati. On the 28th ultimo I heard that U A-fung had been beheaded. I reported to Inspector Thompson. I went to Kowloon City by direction of the Inspector on the next day.
