Who must be aware of the close relationship existing between the various branches of the Clan.

One of the prisoners in Hong Kong came from Pau Tin. He is the man who tried to shoot one of the haveldars of the Hong Kong Regiment and speaks with a Tung Kun accent. He could give a good deal of information.

My informant of yesterday told me that one of the soldiers, named Man Cham, belonging to the guard of the petty military Mandarin stationed at Shan Chun, named She Kam, took part in the fight against the British with the knowledge of his superior officer and lost a thumb in the action.

My informant says that Major Fong, who was stationed at Shan Chun, took no steps whatever to preserve order, though he must have known what was taking place. As my informant put it, he pretended to be deaf and blind! This information corroborates the Chinese letter found in the meeting house at Un Lung, in which the writer stated that Major Fong would not interfere with them in carrying out their settled plans. I call special attention to this phrase in the letter when forwarding the translation of it.
