Addressed C. in C., China, from
Commodore, Hong Kong.
Your 0159 guard-a North Chinese led
by Russians are trained and supplied to ships of
Chinese Merchants and Indo China Steam Navigation
Company by Hong Kong Police. Indian guards are
similarly supplied to British India (? Steam
Navigation Company). A roster of Indian watchmen is
kept by Hong Kong Police for all purposes and other
steamship companies draw their guards from this source.
Watchmen have facilities for occasional training at
Hong Kong Police Headquarters.
It is not known if ships operating
North of Shanghai are supplied with guards but
doubtless Shanghai Municipal Police could make
arrangements as at Hong Kong.
