Dear Sirs,
We confirm our letter of 3rd November and have now
obtained further information regarding the tug-and-lighter
service now operating between Canton and Hong Kong.
on 2nd November,
On Saturday last, 4th November we received a further
shipment of Canes 317 bales - which were despatched from Canton
On this occasion the bales were transhipped
at or near Tai Chan Island and towed thence to Hong Kong by a
tug flying the Portuguese flag. We do not know the number or
name of this tug, but the lighter from which delivery was taken
at the Steam Laundry Wharf () Yaumati was 2832V.
We are informed that this tow put in at Cheung Chau
harbour, as before, during the trip from Tai Chan Island to
Hong Kong.
We expect a further shipment for our account to leave
Canton in a day or two and will advise you of its arrival in due course, giving you at the same time any further information which
may prove of interest.
We are dear Sirs,
Yours faithfully,
DEACON & CO. LTD.

Director.
