immediately for this district, unless they receive information from their spies that Customs launches are cruising in the771 vicinity, in which case they proceed first to Tai Ho ( on Lantau (
), an island just inside of British waters. They they wait until the coast is clear. The junks can only reach the places where they discharge the sale in this district at high tides, and should the presence of Customs launches make their departure from Tai Ho before low tides set in impossible, Selt Commissioner's launches tow them from Tai Ho towards this district until they are safe from being caught by the Customs. Should a Customs launch see them in tow of a Salt Commissioner's launch, the junks would naturally be considered a capture by the latter and nobody yould question the bona fides of the capture. After getting clear of the Customs launches the salt junks run no more danger of being captured, as the Gunboats guarding Gaemoon and Tao Moon approaches receive 10 cents per picul of salt smuggled by the junks. At present the smugglers pay 81.00 for picule 1.20 of salt at Yau Ma Ti and receive $2.00 for the same amount from the Tao Moon salt merchant. The 10 large junks, carrying 800 piculs each, are too large to proceed to Sze Hau Chung (
), the landing place for the salt, and discharge their cargoes into smaller craft behind some of the islands out- side Tao Moon.
"In accordance with your instructions, on the 25th February, I left with a search party in our R.L."Kongmoon" to intercept the expected salt junks, taking both informers with me. After cruising about for three days, I returned to port, as unfavourable winds made it impossible for the junks to come in. The wind having changed, we again left on March 3rd, but on arrival amongst the island found twelve gun-boats and a large number of boats with soldiers on the spot employed in hunting down pirates, who haunt these islands and who had committed a large number of piracies of late and taken a considerable number
of people of some note prisoners, and held them as hostages for
ransom. The presence of these gunboats and soldiers, which had
