Superintendent of Police (Kowloon),
sir,
I submit a report of an attack by Japanese upon
boats 1820: and 1490W and one boat number unknown.
It is alleged the attack took place off Mirs
Polat end in territorial Waters at about 12.00 hours on
18th October, 1989.
One complainant disappeared from "T" as soon as
he had made his report.
I obtained the licence mumbers of the two boats
1822 and 1490w from Harbour Department records at Shau-
kiwan and these two masters CHENO CHAU KIT and CHENG CHAU
YAU were sent out in No.8 Launch on 22nd and the position
pointed out by them is verified by Officer in Charge No.2
Launch as being close in shore at Mrs Foint in Territorial
Waters.
The crew of all three boats swam ashore and the
boats were set afire by the Japanese.
(sd.) S. Shepheard,
Divisional Inspector, South
23rd October, 1939.
