With theexception of the Pearl and Diamond Pendant

the articles mentioned above were in a sealed parcel which I

handed to the Purser of the Vessel after we left London

receiving an official receipt for them. This receipt together

with my Passport and other documents I placed in one of my

boxes and when the ship was torpedoed this box went down with

my other effects.

3.

At about 2.30 o'clock in the afternoon of the 21st or

22nd. December 1915 the 8.8. Yasaka Maru was torpedoed by an

enemy submarine and sank within an hour of being struck.

4. The Purser of the said a... Yasaka Maru informed me,

when the Passengers and crew were being conveyed to Portsaid

on a French vessel which rescued us that he had saved all the

money handed to him and locked up by him in a small safe lodged

which could be opened by a key, but that the safe in which he

lodged my parcel contained a combination lock and in the excite-

ment of the moment he had forgotten the combination which would

open the safe,

5. The value of the property which I lost through the

sinking of the a.. Yasaka Maru I estimate to be £2,035-0-0

shown

as above.

6.

All the articles referred to in this Affidavit were

the property of either my wife or myself.

7.

I have not nor has any one on my behalf received any

payment on account of the loss.

Declared before me the

16th day of December 1918,

(Sgd.)

J. HENNESSEY SETH.

(Sgd) E.J. Grist

Justice of the Peace Hongkong
