I arrived at 6.45 p.m.

In compliance with your order of the evening of the 16th, I slipped at 9.30 p.m., and proceeded into Kowloon Bay sweeping the hills, city, and roads with the search light until daylight. Finding there a Chinese gunboat crowded with troops I anchored close to her and kept her under observation during the night.

I beg to bring to your notice the good service rendered by Sub Lieut. Tomkinson, who was responsible for the excellent practice made with the guns at a range of 2600 yards and the prompt landing of men which enabled the whole company of the H.K.R. to advance, the communication with the base, and breach, being kept open by his party.

I have, &c.,

(signed) Roger Keyes.

Lieut. Commr.
