Er. C. Brack was introduced to me on the 8th or 9th May by
Mr. F.L. LAB of the Yu Hing Bank, of 60 ving Look #treet,
(1st floor). The proprietor of this bank is Er. Lan Kwai
Bang, manager of Cheong Kee, money changers, of ucens Road 0.
Kr. F.L. Lam told me that Kr. Brack was a well known
Australian merchant, and asked me to dine with the two of them
in the President Cafe. I accepted the invitation.
After dinner, Mr. Frack took Mr. V.l. lam and myself to
the Metropole Hotel, and we had s taik in his room.
He told me that he had been sent to China by the British
Government (in conjunction with the ustralian Government),
to discuss important matters with the Chinese Government and
to offer them arms and am: wiitions amounting in value to
988,000,000. This consignment was already packed in
Australia, ready for shipment, and would be despatched here
immediately on his making the bargain with the Chinese
Authorities. He alro stated that he had brought samples
with him, and that these samples were in the care of the
Hong Kong Police.
He further showed me letters from the Commonwealth
Government, his passport, and a document which authorised
him to draw money from the Tank. He did not, on this
occasion, ask me to do anything for him.
The following day I met Mr. Lan Kwai Eang and asked him
about Wr. Frack, as I thought the story was rather suspicious.
He told me that he had himself made enquiries from the
Chartered rank, and Mr. Track really we a substantial
merchant. He added that he had taken Mr. Brack to see Kr.
No Kwong, who had promised to et in touch with some Chinese
officials.
Mr. Lam Kwai ang then asked me whether I knew any high
officials in Canton. I replied in the negative, but
mentioned,
No comments yet.
