I was in the married quarters. It was on an order given by
L.S.A.40 and shouted up the hill by a munshi that they came out,

of B.722 shout "Don't fire - I am coming out." B.722 was the firs
first to appear, by himself. About 10 minutes later Mr. Sparrow
and the D.I.N came up and then the other three from the Station

the A.S.P., N.T. Later he told me he had seen the D.S.P., K.,
who had promised to refer the matter to the I.G.P. Later again
he went in to Hong Kong to see the I.G.P. On return he appeared
to be satisfied, but told me he had been required to subscribe
