Thence we marched to Pingshan where we rested a while, found an excellent house for the men, another for officers, capital drinking water and some very good flour for the troops. The officers also got a meal which was truly acceptable after a day and a half with practically nothing but rice and a little Chinese sugar. Lockhart and I pushed on to Ha Tsun village 2 miles off, taking 20 men and resting the remainder at Pingshan to which place we returned after dark.
The affair at Sheung Tsun ended the Military Campaign, but sullen resentment was depicted in the faces of the people and though, like whipped curs, they grovelled, I knew that the embers of revolt only smouldered and that the presence of a Military force was essential to restore order.
The elders who "kowtowed" to us declared that 'there were no arms in the village, those which were seen there last year, having been taken off by the insurgents. Lieut Barrett however when bathing in a stream hit off 6 small pieces of ordnance, which had evidently been thrown there on our approach, and Lockhart found powder and newly made bullets in one of the temples.
I gave the men a day's rest, well deserved; they had ample food, were well housed and declared themselves quite comfortable.
Late in the evening I heard that Major Morris R. A. with some guns and an escort of the HKong Regiment had arrived
