I would take this opportunity of mentioning

the cases of (a) the coxswain of the "Yu Sang" ferry launch and (b) Segt. Interpreter, Taoi Tat-san and (c) Wong Ki

Hing, ahopkeeper of Tai 0.

(a), the ferry launch was on its way from Tung Chung to Tai 0, when, about half way, it met the boat with an Indian Sergeant on board. The Indian Sergeant asked the coxswain

to go to Castle Peak. The coxswain however, said that there was a Police launch at Tung Chung, and stopped his launch

and returned them. I recommend that he be granted a suitable

reward. Hie action quite possibly saved the lives of Mrs.

Glendinning and the child.

(b).

the Sergeant Interpreter acted with intelligence and resolution, (for a Chinemen of that class). On hearing

the newe of the murder, he collected Winchester rifles from

fishing Junks in the Harbour, with which he armed himself

and some of the boatmen, He stationed a man to guard the

passage across the creek. They were expecting Indian Police

Constable 18 to break out of the station to attack them,

and the Chinese were at first under the impression that all

the other Indiane were hostile. The Sergeant Interpreter

then approached the station and posted his men so as to

guard the exits.

He is one of the senior men in the 5th. grade and on his

maximum. I would suggest that a suitable reward would be

to promote him to IV grade, and let him commence on the

first increment as he is presumably near to promotion now

in the ordinary course,

(c). Wong Ki-hing is a shop keeper of Wing On Street,

Tai O Village. He volunteered to accompany Lee. Sergeant

Perkins to the station, and armed himself with a Winchester
