One man jumped overboard. When the cabin window was shut, the hatch was closed too. Some arrangement about going was made with me. One of the men said to me: "Mr. Ng has important business and wants your launch logs brought to Kowloon City. Mr. Ng will pay you $15.00." I knew Mr. Ng Sai Yan.

I was paid the next day $300 at Kowloon City. The money was brought to me by one of the Mandarin's clerks. The man who brought it said he was one of the clerks. One of the 6 men said he would get the pay for me. The Toki accountant, Chong Thing, came to the wharf about 4:45 p.m. and told me to go to Kowloon City. The payment had nothing to do with me. Toki is the owner of the Kam Wing Thing launch.

He was on shore. The bargain was made with them, and they went on shore. I cannot tell whether the other 5 came from the Wing Thing or not, or whether the man who jumped overboard came from the Wing Thing. I only knew Chong Shing was from the Wing Thing.

Chong Thing came on board the Kam Ling. He went with us to Kowloon City wharf, then to Hung Hom, and then back to Victoria. I do not know why Chong Thing went on board the Wing Thing and went over to Kowloon. He occasionally gave orders to go straight to the wharf at Kowloon City.

Lau A declared: I am a coolie at Tokwawan, a prisoner in Victoria Gaol for street gambling. I knew a man who lived at Tokwawan, named U11-king, a neighbour of mine.

The Wing Thing is not one of the Toki boats. After the 6 men were made to stop, four or five days ago, I saw a large crowd.
