Mr. Sercombe Smith: Lau Pak is on the Cranley, and unable to be present.
The Harbour Master took a signed statement of his on the 4th of this month, and the Crown Solicitor advises that a copy of this statement, having been signed, it can be used by this Council. I propose to read that statement. It is as follows—"I am second boatswain of the S.S. Cranley, and was at the Shipping Office about 11 a.m. on the 10th November to receive my wages and sign on again. I know the boy Chok Fu. He was captain's boy on the S.S. Cranley. He (Chok Fu) owed me $20 which I lent him at various times. I know the man called Sai Yau. He is a friend of mine and keeps a boarding house. I asked Sai Yau to deduct $20 from Chok Fu's wages and give it to me, but as yet I have not received it. Signed this 4-12-1903, Lau Pak, his mark, Chan Pui, interpreter and witness",

Mr. Sercombe Smith: I also wish, Sir, to put in the record of Mr. Guterres' service, and details. It appears he entered the service in 1869, and that since 1881 he has worked in the Mercantile Marine Office. That during this nearly 40 years of service he has not had any vacation leave, nor had any day off save. He had 22 days sick pay leave.
Mr. Sercombe Smith: I also wish, Sir, to put in the statement of entries at the Mercantile Marine Office supplied by the Harbour Master, which Mr. Guterres probably won't dispute. (To Mr. Guterres, handing him the document)—Is that correct?
Mr. Guterres: Yes.
Mr. Sercombe Smith: This is a copy of my letter asking if you had any bank book, and your reply is:— Mercantile Marine Office, 19th December, 1900. My Dear Sir, In reply to your note of even date, I beg to state that I have no bank book of any description. Your obedient servant,
A.P. Guterres,
Lieut. C.F. Beckwith, R.N., Harbour Master,
Mr. Sercombe Smith: That is my case, Sir.
