Enclosure No. 2.
Extract from South China Morning Post of
1st October, 1931.
JAPANESE GUNBOAT.
Comes here from Canton for provisions.
Routine Visit.
Concerning the arrival of the Japanese
gunboat Saga from Canton on Tuesday afternoon, about which there has been some speculation, the Japanese Consul, Mr. T. Yoshida, informed a representative of
the S.C.M. Post yesterday afternoon that the Saga arrived in the Colony solely for the purpose of obtaining provisions. The Consul said that the Saga
stayed here for the one day only and returned to
Canton yesterday morning at 11 o'clock.
Mr. Yoshida further stated that this
gunboat used to come to Hong Kong once a month to
obtain provisions and her visit was simply her monthly trip here. Her trip marked the first visit of any
Japanese gunboat to Hong Kong since the same vessel
called here at the end of August.
