GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG,

20th May, 1927.

Mr. E. Grant Smith, manager in Canton of

Messrs Dodwell and Company, Limited, forwarded on the

21st April, 1927, to Mr. T.G. Weall, the Company's

manager in Hong Kong, the enclosed ten photographs.

He obtained them from a Canton photographer, who said

that they represent the procession which passed along

Shakee on the 25th June, 1925, and resulted in the so-

called Shakee-Shamien incident, and also the funeral of

the Chinese killed in that incident.

2. I attach notes by Mr. Megarry on each photo-

graph and also the translation of the Chinese characters

which appear on the photographs.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

Governor, &c.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

LIEUTENANT COLONEL L.C.M.S. AMERY, M.P.,
