We have remained here all day. There has been no sign of resistance. On the contrary the villagers are returning to their villages. There has been heavy rain here to-day which may have helped this movement. I have availed myself of the halt to write up my diary of events since the hoisting of the flag. Major Morris has sent a note to Col. the O'Gorman saying he is stationed at Kam Tin and has completed the work of demolition by which I presume he means that he has blown down the gates of all the walled villages in that district. Mr. May left here at 6 a.m. and have I suppose, seen Your Excellency by this time. We have succeeded in obtaining most of the supplies required by the troops from Un Long. We are all well. Will you kindly ask Mr. Buckle to forward to me the daily papers.
