about 4 p.m." I was in the Lysemun Artillery Parade Ground, whicha

which is about half-a-mile from the Pak Sha Wan Battery. I

noticed that the battery was firing at a ship entering the

Larbour. I ran down from the parade ground to the battery

Starting to run when the third shot was fired, My impression

was that the ship was trying to block the Lyeemun Paas. As I
