Superintendent of Police (Kowloon),

sir,

I submit a report of an attack upon junk

3870 H.0. which took place at about 16.00 hours on 12th

October, 1939.

It is alleged by the master that the Japanese

set his junk afire inside territorial waters off FAN LAU

Point, Lantau, S.W., outside Colonial waters.

The junk is practically a total loss valued

$1,000.00, nets destroyed valued $500.00, clothing valued

$100.00.

t

Divisional Inspector, South.
