steamships "Mao Lee" and "An Lee" as well as of the other
vessels.
5. I am further advised by the Government of the Republic of China and verily believe that the authority of the Directors of the said Ching Kee Steam Navigation Co. td. is by virtue of the steps to wind the same up wholly suspended and that no person or persons firm company or corporation can now act as the representatives of or purport to act in the name of the Company in Hong Kong or elsewhere unless and until such Receiver is appointed.
6. I am informed and verily believe that a Japanese Company in Hong Kong is claiming to have received authority from the Ching Kee Steam Navigation Co. Ltd. to take possession of and control the movements of the ships registered in the name of the Ching Kee Steam Navigation Co. Ltd., but according to the official information in my possession, no such Japanese Company has been or is authorised to act in the name or on behalf of the Ching Kee Steam Navigation Co. Ltd. an that no person firm company or corporation can so act without the authority of the Government of the Republic of China or unter or in pursuance of any Order of a Court of competent jurisdiction in the Republic of China.
7. I am informed and verily believe from inquiries made at the Harbour Office of Hong Kong that, purporting to be the representatives of the Ching Kee Steam Navigation Co., Ltd. a clearance in respect of each of the said .. "Mao Lee" and 9.5. "An Lee" has been applied for and that the said clearances respectively may be granted at any moment after which the said vessels will leave the Colony.

I verily believe that the object of obtaining the clearance in each case is to remove the vessels from the Colony of
Hong Kong and thereafter to prevent the vessels from coming under the jurisdiction of the Courts of the Republic of China
