place to meet. After they have plundered a house or sacked a village, they generally disperse, and return to Hongkong, some by Canton steamer, others via Macao, by steamer, pass-books, or salt smugglers. No one can know how they return, but themselves. In fact, they may foot it back the best way they can.
On the 18th of last month I searched the top floor of home 2010 Kaipingshan Street, I saw 16 strong men and a young woman, a large quantity of clothing and jewellery of every description, but I had no complaint, considered it useless to seize it. I also saw several bags of broken silver and Mexican dollars, amounting to several thousand dollars in value. I have every reason to believe it came from Mr A Fii's house already reported. A man named Chan Ting, who is employed in the Surveyor General's Department was landlord, I believe of this floor, and was present when I searched the place. He told me a few days after that Chan Jai Ling, the headman, had run away with his wife. A few days after they all went to No Station Street.
I have.
