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
