I, accompanied by my son aged 6 years, WAN FONG FO, CHEUNG

PO and CHENG YAU, entered a sampan on the foreshore behind the YING SANG TAI HOF, British SHA TA KOK, for the purpose

of returning to XAT 0. We started off towards AH KUNG TSUI,

but when opposite the Custom House, about 300 yards off the

foreshore, we were compelled, owing to the strong wind, to

make for KUK PO so as to get under the lee of the land.

I did not hear anyone shouting or any shots being fired.

About one hour later when we were between AH KUNG TSUI and

YEUNG SHU AU I heard someone shouting. On looking round I

saw a sampan about 30 yards behind us with several men on

board We asked what was the matter, but all they said: "turn

back".

We turned back and I saw one man standin with a

rifle which I am sure he fired in our direction as we were

turning. There were 5 men in the sampon which stopped us. One of them, armed with a stick,jumped on board our sampan and ordered us to go back to SHA TAI KOK or else they would

shoot us. We arrived at SIA TAI KOK at about 15.30 hours

and were taken to the TUNG WO SCHOOL, which adjoins the

Headquarters of the "Lung Man", where I was questioned as to

why we had not turned back when called to do

and when

we had been fired at. I replied that we had not heard anyone

shouting to us or any shots being fired, and that if we had

done so we would have turned back. They then took our names

and addresses, etc, and I was asked if I knew anyone in

SHA TAU KOK
