I have the honour to report, as requested, regarding the circumstances connected with the visit of Dr. Aubrey to Tai Po, which I immediately at the time reported to you personally.
On the evening of Tuesday the 17th instant, about half past six Mr. Eves called to ask me to go out to Tai Po to see Mr. Ross, and wished me to start off forthwith. I was quite dead-beat with the day's work, which I shall describe presently, and told Mr. Eves it was quite impossible for me to go to Tai Po that night, but promised to go first thing next morning.
I listened carefully to what Mr. Eves had to say regarding the symptoms of Mr. Ross's illness, and asked a few questions, and then I told Mr. Eves that the symptoms he considered urgent were not really so, but that he suffered from an attack of Malaria of no great urgency, and that no harm would come from my delaying my visit till the morning.
Had I considered that the case was urgent, I would have myself taken steps to get another Doctor to attend. I did not do so, and Mr. Eves left with the understanding that I should attend first thing on Wednesday.
I went to Tsimshatsui Police Station, and spoke personally by telephone to Sergeant Deveney at Shatin, requesting him to arrange for a launch to wait for me at Lokloha, so as to avoid delay in getting to Tai Po.
Referring now to the reason for my finding it out of my power to obey the summons brought by Mr. Eves on Tuesday evening:-
I left the house on Tuesday morning on duty before 9 o'clock (though I am supposed to stay in till 9 to receive chits and see people who call to consult me at home), and
