Dr. Sun Yat-sen was at the time at Kwai Lam, the capital town of the Kwong Sai Province, many days' journey distant from Canton, where he was engaged in organising a military expedition, at the head of which he hoped to make good his claim to the Presidency of all China.

the Colony's normal food supplies and armed strikers

appeared at the various points on the neighbouring coast whence daily supplies of fresh food-stuffs are shipped to

Hongkong. A large band of strikers went into residence at

Sham Chun, where the Kowloor Canton Railway enters Chinese

territory, and they systematically searched all trains for

the purpose of removing food-stuffs bound for Hongkong.

Permission was given by the strikers for the operation of
