I saw what looked like a top knot on his head. It may have been
a Chinese. I never heard a further shot fired inside. There
was nothing in the voice that cried "No, no, no" that I could
judge by, but I still think, despite the evidence that makes it
almost impossible, that it was the head of an Indian that bobbed
up behind the wall. I received no further orders but kept watch
outside the compound until about 11.30 p.m. when the I.G.P. ete
arrived and entered. The compound wall is about 6 feet high."
X X *There was no other quropean officer in the married quarters
when I got there. When I started, I had no definite information
as to what had happened. I never heard any reason given for the
trouble."

22. Chan Kun Yau decd. *I am P.S.C.22 stationed at Sheung Shui.
On 21st July I accompanied my officer in Charge etc to Lok Ma Chau
On arrival there I was stationed at the bottom of the Station path
to warn any one arriving. Later I was sent off to the land ing
stage on the river to warn the river patrol. I started along
the road that runs direct to the river. On the way I looked up
to the Station but could see no-one. Halfway to the River I
heard a shot followed by two others in rapid succession, and
heard the second bullet whißtle over my head. It was then about
6.15 p.m.
I took to my heels along the path, reached the river,
and the landing stage, and finally warned Sergt. Gardiner when he
came ashore. When I was fired at I was actually in Lok Ka Chau
village. 1 had left the main road by a side path. I lay down and
looked up again at the Station. I saw a figure partly hidden
behind a pillar on the 1st floor verandah with a gun pointing out
in my direction."
