"Before leaving Gaemoon Customs Station, I made the Tidewaiter in charge acquainted with the nature of the informat-

ion I had received in regard to the smuggling of salt and instructed him to keep a good lookout for junks entering the Tao Moon pass and the Sze Hau Chung. About 6 p.m. on the 17th March

the informers came again and stated that about half of the 28

junks had already arrived and discharged their salt. They requested me to come with them at once to catch the remainder, which they said would arrive the following day. I told them that I would give orders immediately to have steam raised on the launch, but that I expected them to deposit $100 to pay for the coal the launch would consume, in case of this third trip having no result. They left for Kongmoon city to procure the deposit required, but did not return. The next day I received a report from the Tide-waiter in charge of Gaemoon Station, to the effect that a number of salt junks could be seen behind the islands from the station hill, which commands the view over the Gaemoon and Tao Moon passes as well as some of the outlying islands, and that quite a number of junks were discharging salt in the Sze Hau Chung. This place, I should mentioned can only be entered by vessels not drawing more than five feet of water, at high water, and it is very dangerous to enter same as the salt smugglers are well armed there, the arms being brought off to the junks in sampans before the junks enter the Taomoon pass; whilst on their way to and from British waters the junks are without arms, as being caught with arms on board in those

waters, would make them liable to the infliction of a heavy

penalty on the part of the British Government. At 7.00 p.m. on the 19th March I received another report from Gaemoon

Station informing me that the Tide-waiter stationed there had

seized three salt junks and requesting me to send the Customs

launch to Gaemoon to take them up to Konmoon. I did not leave
