War

My name is Miam Chin Chua and I was

lookout duty at the time the "Hong Kheng" stranded. I

/ stationed in the crows nest. I saw no land at any

time and even after I realised that the vessel had

struck something I could not see what it was. I

never saw any lights.

The foregoing is a true record of the evidence I have given.

8d. Miam Chin Chua.
