While in his employment I made the journey to Canton in the Empire of China on board the junk "Tune on Tai" among other occasions when one Tu Yee Tin was helmsman of the said junk.
I was on board the said junk on the 28th March 1906 at the time of the collision with the said s/s "Alexander".
The said junk aforesaid was to sail from Hongkong, in the Colony of Hong Kong, to Canton in the Empire of China shortly after 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the 28th March 1906.

The weather at the time the said junk cleared from Kowloon Bay aforesaid was fine with an easterly wind. There was only just enough wind to move the junk. I was on the lookout.
When we started we first sailed straight before the harbour of Wong Yung for Wongshon, which lies to the northwards. We went right across the harbour close to Munchen and then turned and returned across the harbour in a southerly direction.
