Kok, British Territory, arrived at Sha Tau Kok, bearing a
mixed cargo of aerated water, rice, rice bran, oil, cement,
groceries etc., consigned to the said Lam Shau.
Lance Sergeant Knowles, Officer in Charge,
Bha Tau Kok saw the junks, and ordered them to come further
west, about 500 yards or 600 yards, inside the frontier

aerated waters, into Chinese Territory to be examined, as
