Living in Hongkong, another girl, A. Thing, who was in the same brothel and ran away any year to live with a man without redemption money being paid to her owner.

In neither of these two cases has it been possible to obtain any information beyond what was given at the inquest, from the mistresses or servants of the brothels, and I have been compelled to rely entirely on the report of the Chief District Watchman who was instructed to make enquiries. I do not, however, think that there is any reason to doubt its accuracy.

The inquest had been closed days before he commenced investigations, and he was enabled to obtain directly the information given above, without it being suspected that the enquiries were being made on behalf of the Government. But later, when he endeavoured to obtain further information on some points, he found that it had become known that he was acting officially, and that it was impossible to persuade anyone to speak with him on the subject.
