To ensure the s±fety of these men ɛn armed party was landed but kept concstled in the Customs Compor në while the Customs Staff bror÷ht them and their baggage
into safety.
By this time the mob had disparsedánd the landing
party vas "harefore re-ambarked.
The "EACRI HU" also landed a party (leaving urms in the boat) to protect the A.P.C. installation.
"he "KOMAILASHI" made no reply to Searchlight Signale from "SACB'LEN"G" OF "3WEHELL" and did not land.
It is reasonably certain that the Japanese Consul and " ÆDILAHASHI" had the first information of the mob. The following day the commanding uffloer informed me it
was only a mal) mob (notuully about 800).
Chinese polios were early on the scenɑ but made
no attempt to prevent the disorder and parties of China Bơ moldiers were seen to turn back on aṛpreaching the scen
of trouble.
Fo far as known at present three British and Peven Japanese establish ents were completely broken up, but no firing or person::1 violence took place.
