"High Japanese Officials saw us off at Hong Kong and that High Japanese Cfficials met and entertained us at Macao and that we stayed at a certain Chinese hotel". In actual fact, we were questioned by Japanese Gendarmerie as to our identity on board the steamer before it sailed. We were met at Macao by Mr. Yue (

) and had dinner with him and Mr. Hum ( .), both. I formerly attached to Anderson, Meyer & Co. Ltd. at Hong Kong. We stayed at the Riviera Hotel and fortunately the receipted bill was kept and produced by me to substantiate my denials to the above allegations.

It would appear and since confirmed by Miss Chow that we were supposed to have admitted our guilt on espionage charges. She was released before us. My sister Vivienne and I were released on 10th September whereas David Choa was still in custody. In conclusion, i will state that I have known Miss Chow for some time before we left Hong kong. From her activities, both at Hong Kong and en route, there were no grounds for 、 suspecting her to have 'pro-japanese' tendencies. I am fully convinced that she is not and was never in any way acting for the Japanese Government directly or indirectly. We were all, victims of the jitters' of the kweoyang rolice.
