from those shipping firms who had, as it turned out, been con-

sistently ignoring my written and verbal requests. The same

afternoon he left the Colony, with the cash, and hes not since

been seen here. Nothing was known by me of this exploit until

the office reopened on the Monday morning, so that he gained

nearly 48 hours start of the hue and ory which was at once set

in motion, but without avail.

8.

When I arrived at my office on the Monday moming,

the Chief Clerk, Chen Pui, met me with the intelligence that

the shroff, Wang Hau em, had absconded with nearly $4000

of public money, though how he became aware of the fact, with

even the probable sun taken, so early, unless he was acnes-

20ry,

has never transpired. But that he was an accessory

before the fact is obvious, for he is an expert accountant and

unusually wide awake, and Teng Hetam could not have commite-

ed the theft, by the means employed, without Chan Pul's know-

ledge. Pesides, when, on previous occasions, the shroff pro-

duced money for payment in to the bank (as there can be no doubt he did), the accountant must have know that it was col-

lected outside the Harbour Office, in defiance of my orders.

Yet the latter repeatedly assured me that those orders were

being carried out to the letter, thus shielding the shroff

and siding and abetting him in his contemplated crime.

9. I at once asked for an investigation into the matter,

pointing out the obvious complicity of Chan Pul, and the

unusual precautions I had taken, in view of the refusal on

the part of the Government, to assist me in guarding against

loss. The investigation took place at a time when I was

seriously ill. No charges were preferred a

araist me,

and I

was not permitted to present at the investigation except

for a few minutes one morning, when, as I had not heard what

had been alleged against me, I wax naturally unable to reply.

After this, I heard nothing further of the affair until May

1911, when I was in France on sick leave, (having been car-

ried on board a mail steamer in February, in what my doctor here considered a dying state), when I received a curt inti-

mation
