Harbour Department,

Hengkong, 10th.Mevanber, 1910.

With reference to your letter No. 6760/10

of the 9th. instant, I beg to state as follows:-

2.

In regard to extract from Harbour Master's

minute of 3rd. Fovember, 1910, I bag te state that until after

the abscending of the late shroff, I do not remember any order

was given by the Harbour Master nor is such an order recorded

in the Order Book that no receipts were to be signed until

the mongy was received, though I signed no or very few receipts

myself. I did not conceal any facts from him.

3.

In reference to C.S.0. Circular No. 37 og

Department received no advance from the Treasury and I did not

suthorise any advances of salaries to any one.

Master who after having seen it did not order the practice of

signing all bills before being sent to be discontinued. I my **

-self signed ne er very few receipts.

5.

The absconded shroff was Head shroff of the

His Harbour Office, the Shipping Office and the Sailers' home.

proper office was in Sailors' Home and he had to attend at the

shipping office and then at the Sailors' Hone every morning and

overy afternoon. As was woll known to everybody in the Depart-

-ment he only called at the Harbour Office for a few minutes

about 11.30 a.m. and again 3.30 p.m. on every Monday, Wednesday,

and Friday while on every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday he

only called to take over the money collected by the other two

shroffs for payment into Bank. There was no check over his

movements. I suggested as long as Fovember last year to the

Harbour Master that a mossenger should be engaged to serve the

bills and as far as I can remember, the exact words used by me

to the Harbour Master wore: "Sir, I think we should appoint an
