I understand from report that the difficulty in the way of complete adhesion chiefly lies in connection with vessels arriving from Canton or other ports in the proximity of Hongkong, which might at any time be infected.

But I must point out the decision that during the prevalence of healthy-vessels, as laid down in section 8 of Chapter II of The Convention appears to have been misinterpreted.

In accordance with the terms of the Convention, a vessel shall be regarded as "healthy" though coming from an infected port, provided that there has been no death from plague on board either before departure, during the voyage, or on arrival.

In the case of "healthy" vessels, they are allowed by the Convention, and "surveillance" is not recommended. The Colony adheres to the Convention.
