Yeung Company by Chan Sing.

About 7 yards to the right and

beyond this last scar part of the stream bank had been broken down, and shell No.2 which I saw had characters painted on it

was found. This shell had also been taken back to the front

of the Sam Hing Company by Chan Sing, who found both shells at about 17.30 hours on the 11th December, 1937.

I inspected Chung Wen's matshed which shew no signs

of disorder.

On the stone blocks comprising the shore end of the Wing Yeung Pier I saw recent chips and others on a loose block lying between the gate and the pier.

One on the wooden barrier pillars of the main gate through the barb wire fence had been pierced by something which

was probably a scrap of metal, One of the strands of barb

wire on the right side of the gate had been cut and the ends of t

were burnt and blue. The plaster facing of the wing Yeung Company's building was chipped, one chipped about 4" across the concrete ballustrade had a chip about 5" across it.

I examined all the mat sheds could found no signs of search, disorder, or damage to them. I went round this surrounding hills but found no signs of shell fire or other spent shells. I then took the statements of Chan Sing and Chung Tan.

I attached a rough plan of the bay indicating the position of the Wing Yeung Company's building and the matshed owned by the Sam Hing Company. I indicate also roughly where various exhibits named were found. I was informed that several

witnesses of the incident had not yet returned to Yung Long Yan

before I left.
