Managing Directer's Office,

Canton, 15th. June, 1916.

I beg to confirm the telegram from our Traffic Manager

te your goodsşlf as per ospy accompanied herewith reporting the

derailment of and the attack by rebbers on the down through

express train No. 5 at Mile 20 at about 8 o'clock this morning,

with the result that two passengers were killed instantaneously,

nins passengers were seriously injured and twenty six passengers

were slightly injured: the casualties being caused through the

dørailment of the engine and the two coaches, and the first

two conchas salascapad.

These are only preliminary reports and when full details

of the accident are received, the same will be communicated te

you in due course, but I would add in addition that on this

occasion, which took place at precisely the same place where the

night train was robbed and derailed on 16th. August 1914 at

about 4.50 a.m., the rebbers first tampered with the track and

vhạn thạ track inspecter and his men arrived at the spot on their

usual tour of track inspection, they were at once seized by the

robbers and worp violently struck with the butt end of rifles

and injured when endeavouring to give warning signal to the

soming train, hence the accident.

I would also add that I am strongly representing the

matter to the local Authorities to take rigorous setiam hərela

and to afford adequate protection to this line.

I have to do.,

(sd.) Van Teh Chang,

Managing Directer.
