Enclosure 1-

412

Honourable Colonial Sacre

I have to report another large seizure

of revolvers and ammunition contained in 14 barrels

per 8/9. "Tenyo Maru". The goods were manifested

as shrimps, and came from San Francisco from the

packing it appears as if the arms came from the

same source as those seized recently ex. "President

Wilson". The packers were evidently Chinese, as

the contents of some packages were written in

Chinese, There were about 300 .38 cal. revolvers

some long some short barrels, all new most in their

original boxes, and about 50,000 rounds of .38

ammunition long and short and German Mauser anmini-

tion in clips. The revolvers were Smith Wassé on 'a

and Harrington and Richardson's short ,38, manufac-

tured in United States of America, all the .38

ammunition was of United States of America

manufacture.

The manifest gave Kwong Bạng Lung as the

consignee.
