Luk Yeuk district waited on me and presented a petition; a translation of which is being made. The inhabitants of this district do not appear to have taken any part in the recent disturbance. I gave the deputation copies of your Chinese proclamation & speech and translations of the Local Committee's Ordinance and told them that they should continue to carry on their work as usual and that every protection would be extended to them. They brought a few arms which I had called upon them to surrender. They will be included in the general list.

To-morrow I intend to visit the eastern portion of the territory, starting from here in a launch, landing at Chik Kang and proceeding by land to Sai Kung and from Sai Kung to Sai Kong where we will meet the launch which will take us back to Tai Po.

When we have made this visit, we shall have practically completed the tour of the territory and I will at once commence the work of arranging the districts, information regarding which I have been collecting during my recent tour.

The man who was murdered was sent on behalf of the Hong Kong Govt., and I informed Your Excellency at the time that great difficulty had been experienced in finding persons willing to distribute Your Excellency's Chinese proclamation.
