2. SHATAUKOK 沙头

(1) The "Lung Man" have been quiescent of late, but

yesterday they again asserted themselves. About 18.30 hours,

6 armed "Lung Man" in charge of an English speaking individual

黃振

(not Wong Chun Wa, it would seem), came up from the foreshore

to the junction of the main road and boundary path, along

which latter they essayed to proceed. They were held up,

however, by the military picket, whereupon the English speaking

person demanded to know on whose authority they were prevented

from using the path to which they claimed the same right as

the soldiers. However, the "Lung Man" did not attempt to force the issue, but went away, the leader saying: "We will

come and patrol the path to-morrow".

3. MIRS BAY

(1) On the 1st inst, a letter from Pang Ching in, Head

90. of the Branch Customs Cffice at Tai Pang, was delivered to

叠福

A compradore of the s/1 "Tai Pang", by a soldier at Tip Fuk. A copy and translation of this letter (A) is attached.

On the 3rd inst. a second letter was similary de-

livered to the compradore.

Both letters speak for themselves, and you already

been taken. But it is probable that no further demands will be made, as the compradore has seen Pang Ching Hin (the

latter travelled by the "Tai Pang" en route for Hong Kong

on the 6th inst.), and explained to him the position which

he said he misunderstood. I should have liked to have seen

#z Pang, but the fact that he was a passenger by the "Tai Pang" was not conveyed to the police until too late.
