        "content_text": "## Piratical attack on the \"Cæsar\"\n\nThe British barque Cæsar reports that on Thursday the 14th inst. left here at 4 P.M. with cargo of rice. Anchored off Bay that night. A junk which left Hongkong at about same time kept near us all night. We had guns on board a 6 pounder and a 4 pounder, we fired them during the night, firing in the offing. Weighed at 6 A.M. of the 15th instant the junk was not then in sight. As we neared Pedra Branca observed what we supposed to be the same junk on our weather quarter. We loaded the guns going about 2 knots an hour. Malay crew, got up an alarm, 10 muskets, and swords. I called the men aft and asked if they would fight; they said yes. I served out the arms and manned the guns, at about 5:30 P.M. I went down to dinner, the junk about one mile off. The serung who was in charge on deck called out that the junk was hoisting a basket with stink-pots. I ran on deck, made a man carry my wife into fore-top and remain with her. The junk came down on us firing many guns, the shots going through the sails but not striking any one. We fired back with guns and as she neared we fired small arms. At first I saw only a few men on deck, she had two heavy guns. She came right alongside and threw stink-pots on board us and at the same time about 40 men came up the junk's hatchway and leaped on board the Cæsar. They were armed with axes, fire arms, lances, and halberts. As it was useless resisting any longer I ordered my men up to the fore top and went myself. Previous to this, in firing the pounder gun, my mate had injured his foot. He could not get aloft so went down the fore hatch. 7 of my crew remained with him and about 11 were aloft with me.\n\nThe Chinese fired several times after getting on board. They then ransacked the cabins taking all the clothes, charts, and instruments. They then saw that some of us were aloft. I called to them that I wanted to see the head man of the junk, one man stepped out with a rifle in his hand and ordered me to go down on deck. I refused and he fired at me but did not strike me. Two men were then sent after me, the first who came I kicked down. After some time he went down and I followed. When I got down the master of the junk struck me in the arm with the back of a sword. He asked me for the opium which was on board. I told them there was none. It was then called out that a steamer was coming. The master of the junk remained with 25 of his men on board of my vessel. The rest of his men went to the junk and she cast off.\n\nI was kept at the wheel and called my men down, my wife remained aloft with one man. My crew were put below the fore hatch and a cable put on the top of it. I was locked up in a cabin and the steward was sent to the wheel. Two men were then sent up for my wife and after a while hearing her scream out, I got through the cabin window and went after her and brought her down. The junk was then about a mile to windward of us. This was about 7 o'clock. My wife and myself were locked up in the cabin and three men placed to guard us.\n\nThe junk then came back to the ship and made fast, they called my crew up from below and made them put my guns into her. They then began taking out the cargo which consisted of rice. I did not know the time, but think that about midnight they left the ship cutting all the ropes before going. It was too dark to see which way she stood. My steward told me that he had heard them say they were going to Canton. Four of them spoke very fair English and one spoke Malay. The Captain of the junk told me that should we go to Hongkong or he would kill me. He left a chart for Amoy on board, and gave back the mate's quadrant. I asked for a barometer as I wished to know when a typhoon was coming, he gave me one but it had belonged to another ship. I pointed this out to him but he said \"muskee, this is the third one I have taken to-day,\" the others were a schooner and a barque. Two of the men had rings on their fingers, I asked for one supposing it to have been my wife's, he gave me one but not my wife's, it is marked \"M. L. 1858.\" The barometer is made by J. P. Moller, 118 Minories, London. The pirates stove my boats and took the oars and rowlocks.\n\nThe following day I saw a brig to windward and a ship to leeward and hoisted a signal. The `Everest`, British ship, came near and assisted me. He lent me a mate, and I ran the best of my way back to Hongkong. I anchored outside the Green Island this morning at 10 and came in a boat. When I anchored a junk passed near, the crew of which my men and myself recognised.\n\n### Deposition of Master of \"Casar\"\n\n(Signed) I. I.

G. Milver  \nG. Relsor  \nAgent of the said Company\n\n## \n\nSir,  \nMr. Hunt to Sir F. Rogers.\n\nTreasury Chambers, 8th May, 1867.\n\nI AM commanded by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury to transmit to you, for the information of the Duke of Buckingham, copy of a Treasury Minute, dated 10th January, 1867, relative to Telegraphic Communication between the United Kingdom and its Dependencies; and I am to request that, in laying the same before His Grace, you will state to him that my Lords, in laying down principles for their own governance in regard to the amount of encouragement which it may be deemed expedient on the part of the Imperial Government to afford towards the extension of Telegraphic Communication, have no wish to interfere with any arrangements, whether pecuniary or otherwise, which the Governments of any of the Australian Colonies may be inclined to enter into with any company or companies formed for the furtherance of the object in question.\n\nSir F. Rogers, Bart.,  \n&c. &c. &c.\n\nI am,  \n(Signed) GEORGE WARD HUNT,\n\n## Treasury Minute, dated 10th January, 1867.\n\nTHE First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer call the attention of the Board to the important question in regard to the extension of telegraphic communication which is likely to arise in consequence of the success which has attended the submerging of the Atlantic Cable of 1866, and the recovery and completion of that attempted to be laid in 1865.\n\nIt has already been intimated to Her Majesty's Government that it is in contemplation to form a Company for the purpose of laying a line of telegraph between this country and Gibraltar, and from thence to Malta. Between Malta and Alexandria, there is already telegraphic communication by means of the Malta and Alexandria Telegraph Cable belonging to Her Majesty's Government, which is at present agreed to be leased for a term of 42 years to the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company. The lease it is intended should be transferred to the new company, as well as the land line between Alexandria and Suez, originally belonging to the Red Sea Line, but now the property of the Telegraph to India Company. From some point on the Red Sea to which a land line will be laid, it is stated that the new Company will lay a telegraph cable to Aden, and from thence to Kurrachee, where the telegraph will become connected with the land lines of the Indian Government, which extend as far as Rangoon. From Rangoon, it is proposed to carry a cable to Singapore, and from that place cables to China and Japan via Saigon, and Australia via Java and Copang.\n\nTwo other schemes for the extension of telegraphic communication beyond Rangoon have also been brought under the notice of Her Majesty's Government, namely, one by Mr. F. Gisborne, which involves, however, financial assistance on the part of the Government; and another by Mr. Seymour Clarke, for \"a line of telegraph from Rangoon, through the kingdom of Siam to Singapore, from Malacca through Sumatra, Java, &c., to Australia, with a branch from Tavoy through Bangkok to Saigon, and thence, on the approval of France, through Cochin China to China Proper.\"\n\nAs, in the opinion of the Earl of Derby and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the establishment between this country and India of an alternative line of telegraphic communication with that via the Persian Gulf, and the extension of such line to China and Japan on the one hand, and to the Australian Colonies on the other, is of great importance, they submit to the Board whether some encouragement may not be given for the formation of a Company or Companies\n\nPage 318",

        "content_text": "# THE CHINA MAIL, HONGKONG, THURSDAY, OCT. 8, 1874.\n\n## THE MEMORIAL TO H.E. THE GOVERNOR RESPECTING THE CONDUCT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE DURING THE LATE TYPHOON\n\nTHE following is the text of the memorial forwarded to H.E. the Governor by the Residents who condemn Capt. Deane's action during the late typhoon.\n\nHONGKONG, 5th October, 1874.\n\nTo His Excellency,\n**SIR ARTHUR EDWARD KENNEDY, K.C.M.G., C.B. Governor of Hongkong &c. &c. &c.**\n\nMAY IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY,\n\nWe, the undersigned inhabitants of Hongkong, humbly beg to lay before your Excellency the following statement.\n\nThat on the night of the 22nd and the morning of the 23rd ultimo, a Typhoon of unprecedented violence did much destruction to life and property in this City and Harbour.\n\nAmong the many casualties of that dreadful night, two of the most remarkable are the wrecks of the steamers Albay and Leonor.\n\nBy the mercy of Providence, and the humane exertions of some private citizens, the crew of the Albay were saved from death, but although the Leonor sank only about fifty yards from the shore, nearly 100 persons perished, and only about 12 were saved from the ship.\n\nBefore the Leonor was wrecked, it was reported at the Central Police Station to the Captain Superintendent of Police, that a number of men had been rescued from the Albay, and that another steamer was coming on shore, but although there were a large number of available men at the Station, the Captain Superintendent refused to allow any of them to go out to render assistance.\n\nAt the time when the Police were thus confined to the barracks, they were also much needed to repress robbers who were plundering shops and warehouses, which had been broken open in various parts of the town and particularly on the Praya.\n\nDuring the height of the storm, a house in the Chinese portion of the City caught fire.\n\nThe circumstance was reported to the Captain Superintendent of Police, who not only refused to send any assistance, but declined to allow the Fire Alarm Bell to be rung, and he also failed to inform the Superintendent and the Assistant Superintendents of the Fire Brigade, Messrs. C. May and J. Russell, that a fire had broken out, though it was his duty to do so at once.\n\nFortunately, Mr. C. V. Creagh, the other Assistant Superintendent, was present when the report was made, and, aid having been refused, he went alone to the Fire Engine Station and, with the help of a few volunteers, mostly private individuals, after much difficulty, the fire was subdued.\n\nThis colony pays a large sum annually for the maintenance of the Police Force and the Fire Brigade, for the protection of the lives and property of its Citizens, and it is grievously disappointing to find that, in an emergency, when lives were being lost by thousands in the Harbour and the whole City was threatened with a conflagration, the Chief of the Police not only was inactive himself, but withheld others from rendering that assistance which they were able and willing to give.\n\nHad timely aid been given, it is very possible that many of those who perished in the Leonor might have been saved, and valuable assistance might have been given in other quarters; and this inference is strengthened by what took place at the various outlying Police Stations both on this island and at Kowloong, where the detachments, not being checked from exertion, behaved in a manner which merits the gratitude and praise of the whole community. The names of Inspectors Burns, Grimes, and Youngson have come prominently forward among those who were most active in saving life.\n\nThe conduct of the Police at the Out-stations thus affords a gratifying proof of the willingness of the men to do their duty nobly, where they were not restricted by the orders of their chief.\n\nOur confidence in the discretion and wisdom with which the Police Force is directed has thus been seriously shaken, and we therefore pray that, in view of the circumstances herein set forth, Your Excellency will be pleased to institute a Public Inquiry into these matters, that the truth may be more fully known.\n\nWe have the honor to be Your Excellency's most obedient humble Servants,\n\nSigned by:- Jas.

The names of Inspectors Burns, Grimes, and Youngson have come prominently forward among those who were most active in saving life.\n\nThe conduct of the Police at the Outstations thus affords a gratifying proof of the willingness of the men to do their duty nobly, where they were not restricted by the orders of their chief.\n\nOur confidence in the discretion and wisdom with which the Police Force is directed has thus been seriously shaken, and we therefore pray that in view of the circumstances herein set forth, Your Excellency will be pleased to institute a Public Inquiry into these matters, that the truth may be more fully known.\n\nWe have the honor to be,\nYour Excellency's most obedient humble Servants,\n\nSigned by:—Jas.

BOWETT.\n\nCOLONIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE,\nHongkong, 13th October, 1874.\n\nSIR, --I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 8th Inst., and to acquaint you in reply that the allegations contained in the Petition which accompanied it have been the subject of careful investigation by His Excellency the Governor, who has failed to discover sufficient grounds to justify the institution of a public enquiry into the conduct of the Captain Superintendent of Police.\n\nI have also the honor to inform you that, whilst deeply regretting that any portion of the community should have had their confidence in the direction of the Police Force shaken, His Excellency feels it incumbent upon him to state that at no time in the history of the Colony has the character and efficiency of the Police stood higher.\n\nI have the honor to be, Sir,\nYour most obedient Servant,\nJ. GARDINER AUSTIN,\nColonial Secretary.\n\n## Editorial from The Hongkong Times\n\nTHE HONGKONG TIMES,\nOctober 1st, 1874.\n\nIN THE MATTER OF CAPTAIN DEANE.\n\nWE ARE extremely gratified at being able to place before our readers the official correspondence that has taken place with reference to Captain Deane's conduct during the late typhoon. By those letters, we are enabled to grasp the subject in all its bearings; for our own part, we are exactly of the same opinion now as we were before we knew anything whatever of the correspondence going on. We disagree from the ideas of the Honourable Mr. Rowett altogether, but we do not fail to thoroughly appreciate that gentleman's motives in undertaking to try and rectify what he thought was wrong. We do not consider Captain Deane to be impeccable; and, at different times, we have raised a voice against both his action and his inaction when we thought he merited a little censure, but, in this instance, we consider him free of fault and we certainly intend to uphold his behaviour against which the Honble. Mr. Rowett and some others of the Colonists complain.\n\nThat unfortunate fire business has, however, yet to be explained. There is a vast deal of difference between trying to oppose a typhoon and attempting to put out a fire, and unless Captain Deane can give good reasons for not assisting at the conflagration, it will become the painful duty of the Governor to take him to task on this score.\n\n## Correspondence between Hon. R. Rowett and Hon. J. G. Austin\n\nTHE HON. R. ROWETT TO HON. J. G. AUSTIN,\n\nHong Kong, 23rd September, 1874.\n\nMY DEAR MR. AUSTIN,—Permit me to bring the following circumstances to your consideration in connection with the typhoon of last night.\n\nAt a little before one o'clock this morning, the steamer `Albay`, from Manila, came ashore on the Praya, inside Douglas Lapraik & Co.'s wharf, and just opposite my office. The typhoon was at its worst at the time. Loud cries were heard coming from the ship, when lights were displayed and a rope was thrown on board.\n\nThe Captain, officers, crew and passengers, to the number of 40 in all, were thus enabled to get on shore, and were placed for shelter in the Engine House of the Hongkong Fire Insurance Company. The Captain stated that when he arrived in port last evening, there were 400 persons, all told, on board his vessel.\n\nThese facts were reported at the Central Police Station, by Mr. A. P. McEwen, at about 1.30 a.m., and a statement was taken down in writing, by Captain Superintendent Deane, who, instead of sending assistance to the shipwrecked men refused to allow any of the Police to turn out, on the ground of its being dangerous for them to leave their quarters in such weather; and this, notwithstanding the fact of which he was also informed by Mr. McEwen, viz., that another steamer was coming on shore at the time he left the Praya.\n\nMr. McEwen then returned to the scene of the wreck, and, together with Lieutenant Prior of H.M. 80th Regiment, and Mr. G. W. Baird, once more went to the Police Station, with 30 of the shipwrecked men, the Captain of the `Albay` and his three officers remaining at the engine house. The men, who were all natives of Manila or Malays, except two European passengers, were then taken care of by the police for the night.\n\nMy object in drawing your attention to these facts is to enquire whether you do not consider that it is the duty of the police to be alert in moments of great public danger, and whether it would not have been more in accordance with the object the Government have in maintaining such a force, that they should have been sent wherever their aid might have been needed to save life or property, than that they should have been kept in barracks, while private individuals were able and willing to assist their suffering fellow creatures at some risk to their own lives?\n\nBelieve me, Yours faithfully,\nR. ROWETT.\n\nCAPT. SUPERINTENDENT DEANE TO HON. J. G. AUSTIN.\n\nVictoria, Hongkong, 24th September, 1874.\n\nIMMEDIATE.\n\nSIR, In reply to H.E. the Governor's minute on C.S.O. No. 2799, I have the honor to report that I did refuse to risk the lives of the Police under my command by ordering them to leave the Barracks in the height of a typhoon at 1 a.m. on the 23rd instant.\n\nMr. Rowett entirely overlooks the fact that the danger did not so much arise to persons living on the Praya going outside their doors to render aid, as to a body of men taken through the streets of the city, when, in the words of a local newspaper, \"the atmosphere was principally composed of tiles, brickbats, jalousies, verandah-beams and foliage.\"\n\nAt 2.30 a.m., however, when the barometer showed that the heaviest blasts of wind had passed, I did turn out the men, and we went over all parts of the town: in some places over our waists in water, and experiencing the greatest difficulty in passing along the roads.\n\nI have further to observe that at least 36 of the crew of the `Albay` had been already saved when the report was made, and that the danger of a second steamer was a mere conjecture.\n\nPage 335",

I said I had no doubt the Government would give instructions to the Crown Solicitor immediately a Warrant was obtained, but the Government at present, so far as I was aware, possessed no information that it was useless to communicate with them confidentially and to give information of which I could make no use.\n\nWhy I was in this position was that if the matter were officially brought before the Government and I could get someone to take some responsibility, I would be in a different position.

        "content_text": "# Jo 24 \n4th March, 1879.\n\n## Governor\n\nThe Secretary c. M. G., \n\nTo The Right Honorable \n\nSir Michael Hicks Beach, \n\n**MP.**\n\nTransmitting account of annual general meeting of the Chamber of Commerce with some remarks as to the Currency, the Blockade question and the Stamp Duties.\n\nEnclosure, in Governor Pope Hennessy's despatch No. 24. of 4th March 1879.\n\n## HONGKONG GENERAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE\n\nThe annual meeting of the above Chamber was held at the City Hall this afternoon. There were present—Hon. W. Keswick (in the chair), Hon. P. Ryrie, Messrs Nelson, Hoppins, Arnhold, Belilios, G. Sharp, Hassell, Sandeman, Linstead, Molver, Erdmann, Deacon, Bottomley, F. D. Sassoon, A. P. MacEwen, F. H. \"Arjance, and E. George (Secretary).\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN** said the first business was to confirm the Report of the last meeting. The published report was in their hands having been issued some months ago, and he thought they might take it as read. He proposed that the Report be adopted. Mr NELSON seconded the motion. Carried unanimously.\n\nThe **CHAIRMAN**: The next business before the meeting is to consider the Report for the year 1878. On this occasion, we have had the Report printed, with the appendices, and circulated for the information of members. There have been no very important events during the year, and in speaking to the Report I would remark with reference to the currency question that a change must have taken place in the views that were held on this subject twelve months ago, and I do not think any one would now recommend the establishment of a mint in the Colony, thinking it would be a self-supporting institution through the profit made on the subsidiary coinage. The views that were held 12 months ago on this subject have, I believe, undergone a change, and I do not think any one would now recommend the establishment of a Mint in the Colony in the expectation of its proving a self-supporting institution. Subsidiary coinage, from which it was supposed the running expenses of a Mint could be realized, has passed from our control, and the Colony is flooded with 10 and 20 sen pieces from Japan, which are forced into circulation here, and are exported to the Coast of China at from 12 to 15 per cent discount. Of course, the Colonial subsidiary coins obtained from England have to remain in the Treasury. The Customs cruisers maintain as strictly as ever the system of collecting duties on the trade of the Colony carried on in native craft, and there is now no open highway of commerce between China and this British Colony, and formerly free port, except in foreign vessels from Treaty ports. I hope, but am by no means sanguine, that on the arrival here of Sir Thos. Wade, H. M.'s Minister to China, that the wrong which is being done will be rectified. The opening of new ports in our vicinity and the consequent greater use of Foreign-built vessels has naturally the tendency of making the Blockade somewhat less oppressive, but so far the opening of Fakhoi, owing to the opposition of guilds and the denial of Transit passes on Treaty conditions, has been a failure, and Hoibow has only partially realized the expectations formed of it. The obstructions in the way of business at both ports will doubtless, however, give way to pressure, and there is reason to anticipate that in time an important trade with Hainan will be developed. The ports of Haiphong and Kiung-On are gradually rising into importance, and the development of trade with them will be greatly to the advantage of Hongkong. I would remark, however, gentlemen, that I think we have not been active enough hitherto in urging the opening to foreign navigation of the waterways of Hwang-tung. While the Yangtze is opened as far as Ichang, nothing has been done here, and we are restricted to Canton as much as we were two centuries ago. There are important and populous towns on the various branches of the Canton River with which we should have communication under somewhat similar conditions to those applied to the Yangtze Navigation, and we should not cease to urge for extension until what we desire is obtained. It is in no narrow or selfish spirit that we should desire to see comfortable, rapid, and safe means of conveyance take the place of the wretched, slow, and dangerous boat travelling that at present exists. The Chinese would be greatly benefited, and with their quick appreciation of what is to their advantage, the labouring and trading classes would accept the change with satisfaction, and this Colony would be rendered still more important and its trade would be increased by the extension of lines of communication with the interior of the neighbouring province. We may have to wait long, however, for the realization of what I advocate, for I cannot forget that notwithstanding the years that have now passed since foreign Ministers were admitted to the Capital of China, they are still content to crawl miserably from Tientsin to Peking, taking sometimes as long to accomplish that short journey as in travelling from Shanghai to Tientsin. I think the facts I have previously mentioned point very forcibly to the inadvisability of advocating the establishment of a mint in Hongkong. It has been my opinion for many years that the mint would never be a success here, and recently that impression has been fully confirmed.\n\nAfter a few running comments on the Report, the Chairman moved that it be adopted, and the accounts passed.\n\nMr BELILIOS seconded the motion. Carried unanimously.\n\nMr RYRIE said that with regard to the paragraph in the Report respecting the Postal Service between Hongkong and Yokohama, one or two matters had recently come to light which might induce the Committee to modify the views expressed in the letter sent by them to the local Government. It had lately come to their knowledge that the community of Yokohama had addressed a remonstrance to Sir Harry Parkes with regard to the giving up of this line. Then again, it had also come to their knowledge that there was a possibility of one, if not both, of the American lines being discontinued. It had, at all events, been reported in the American papers that probably the Pacific Mail line would not be continued. Under these circumstances, he thought the question might be well considered whether they would or would not alter the opinion expressed in the letter sent by the Committee to the local Government. He thought it was very desirable that, with the possibilities now before them, the British service should not be discontinued. If the American steamers did not run... \n\n## Page 79 \n## Page 82 \n2 enclosure",

The charts were Russian ones, and one of the minor results of the expedition has been the establishment of the fact that they are not accurate, inasmuch as a great deal that was put down as land was actually sailed over by the Vega. The route was marked in red ink and pencil and showed these inaccuracies. Some specimens of the plants from the region where the Vega was so long bound up in the ice and photographs of the natives were also on the drawing-room tables.\n\nAfter the party Captain Palander went on board the Vega, but Professor Nordenskiöld did not embark till half-past eight yesterday morning. Governor Hennessy accompanied the Professor from Government House. The illustrious guest embarked for the Vega on the Government barge, and the vessel steamed out of harbour by the Ly-en-moon Pass shortly after nine o'clock. We understand Professor Nordenskiöld, before his departure, received from His Excellency, as a present to the Vega expedition, an herbarium of the plants of Hongkong and South China, prepared by Mr. Ford, the Head of the Botanical Department of the Colony.\n\n530",

The numerous signatures appearing on the appended subscription lists, representing every class and race of this community, will afford you the best testimony of the wide-spread appreciation entertained of your public career, but it will not be out of place for us to pass in brief retrospect some of the more eminent services you have rendered the Colony.\n\n\"Chief among these stands the able and straightforward performance of your duties in the Legislative Council, where you have for so many years held a seat. In a Crown Colony, the position of an Unofficial Member of this Council is full of discouragement; having no power of initiation, and with the certainty before him of being outvoted if in opposition, his task is limited to criticism of the schemes of the Government. Your labours in this direction have been of the highest importance and utility, and more especially as a guardian of the public purse the ability you have unflinchingly maintained cannot, we think, be very well over-estimated.\n\nThe little leisure which the pressing responsibilities of a large Mercantile House have left you, you have ungrudgingly bestowed on many other public affairs. As Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce your wide experience and knowledge of business have been of the highest value. The City Hall owes much to your care and attention. Schemes of Charity and for the assistance of the poor or friendless have ever found in you a ready sympathizer; and there are but few Institutions organized in this Colony for humane or charitable purposes that have not profited by your liberal aid and advice.\n\n\"Not less worthy of mention have been your services to many of those public companies with which much of the prosperity of the Colony has now become identified. To your power of labour, business capacity and grasp of detail, these important concerns are in no small degree indebted for the prosperity they enjoy; and it is no slight to others to say that probably to you more prominently than any one else, is due the confidence which joint-stock enterprise now enjoys in the Far East.\n\n\"We now beg to bid you farewell, and with every wish for your enjoyment of your well-earned holiday, we remain your sincere friends,\n\nP.

Marsh, CMG.\n\nRespecting the\n\nEnclosures\n\nEnclosure No!\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, APRIL 3RD, 1883.\n\nPRESENTATION OF AN ADDRESS TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE ADMINISTRATOR.\n\nOn the 29th ult. an address was presented to His Excellency the Administrator, the Hon. W. H. Marsh, C.M.G., at Government House. The presentation was made by the Hon. P. Ryrie, who was accompanied by upwards of eighty of the signatories, representatives of every class and nationality in the Colony being present.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE, in making the presentation, said—Your Excellency, the pleasing duty has been assigned to me of presenting to you a numerously signed address from the community of this Colony. When I state that this has been a spontaneous movement on the part of all classes in the colony, I state what is absolute fact. I believe that I may be considered the oldest British resident in the Colony, and during the period of my stay here, I have taken part in a good many demonstrations of this kind, and I can truly say that I have never seen more anxiety displayed by its inhabitants to testify by their signatures the feelings they entertained of your high abilities as the head of its executive. (Applause). The address, as you will observe, is numerously signed by all nationalities, but there are still a number of gentlemen anxious to join it who from press of time have not had an opportunity of doing so. With your kind permission their signatures can be appended hereafter. (Applause.) I shall now, with your permission, proceed to read the address:\n\nTo HIS EXCELLENCY THE HONOURABLE WILLIAM HENRY MARSH, C.M.G., THE OFFICER ADMINISTERING THE GOVERNMENT OF HONGKONG, &c., &c., &c.\n\nSIR, We, the undersigned non-official members of the Legislative Council, Justices of the Peace, Members of Professions, Merchants, Bankers, and Residents in Hongkong, desire to convey to Your Excellency on the approaching termination of your Administration of the affairs of the Colony an expression of our esteem and regard as well as of our sense of the admirable and effective manner in which you have discharged the duties of your high position.\n\nThe vigour which has been displayed in every department of your Government, the introduction of numerous measures of useful legislation, and the rapidity with which urgently required public works have been promoted and pushed forward within the short period during which you have held office, make evident to us the eminent capacity for affairs which you possess, while the equal administration of executive authority dispensed by you without fear or favour and with a steadfast regard to the public welfare has inspired all classes of our mixed population with complete confidence in the firmness and justice of your rule.\n\nYou have made Government House the centre of social attraction by the liberal and graceful hospitality which has been accorded to the community.\n\nWe are pleased to learn that the Public Service of the Colony will not be deprived for some time to come of your valuable co-operation and that you will resume your former post as Colonial Secretary. We trust that when you do leave us it will be on the occasion of your appointment to higher office under the Crown to which your long and able public career have so well qualified you.\n\nWith the assurance of our profound respect. We have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servants,\n\n[Signatures follow]\n\nP. Ryrie\n\nF. Hugeloy Johnson\n\nE. R. Belilios\n\nAlfred Lefeber\n\nWm. Danby\n\nJohn Thurburn\n\nS.

Mr. H. E. Wodehouse, senior Police Magistrate, presided, and there were present :- Voters-Dr. R. Young, Messrs. E. Mackean, H. L. Dalrymple, E. Mackintosh, H. J. H. Tripp, N. J. Ede, W. H. F.

Coughtrie, H. Diekie, W. K. Hughes, E. R. Belilios, and Ho Kai; Non-voters (officials): Capt. H. G. Thomsett, Messrs. J. P. McEnen, J. S. Brewer, and A. G. Wise. The Chairman also abstained from voting as an official.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Gentlemen, I will call upon the clerk to read the notice convening the meeting.\n\nMr. J. PARKER, clerk to the Justices, read the notice, and also the instructions received from the Governor.\n\nThe names of the Justices were then called over, those who were present answering.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Gentlemen, I will now ask any of you who have candidates to propose to do so in writing, with the seconder's name added, and hand the papers in to me. In order that the proceedings may be perfectly fair and above board I propose that all the names be handed to me before any remarks are made with regard to the candidates proposed, and I will put them into a hat and take them out one by one indiscriminately and then ask the proposers and seconders to make any remarks on the candidates they may wish.\n\nMr. FRANCIS-As a matter of procedure, Sir, may I venture to suggest to the meeting that, as we cannot all look on while the ballot boxes are being examined, the gentlemen proposing the candidates with the Chairman of the meeting should form a committee of scrutiny to examine the contents of the ballot boxes and notify the result.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Will you allow that to stand over for the present until the next step has been taken?\n\nMr. FRANCIS-As you please, Sir.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-If there is no objection to the course I propose, that will be the next step taken.\n\nThree papers were then handed in, and the first read out was the name of Mr. A. P. MacEwen, proposed by the Hon. F. B. Johnson and seconded by Mr. A. McIver.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-I now call upon the gentlemen proposing and seconding to offer any remarks they may wish.\n\nHon. F. B. JOHNSON-Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I have very great pleasure indeed in proposing the name of Mr. Alexander Palmer MacEwen as a very fit and proper person to represent not only this body but the community generally in the Legislative Council of this colony. (Applause).\n\nMr. McIVER-I have very great pleasure in seconding the hon. gentleman's proposition.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN then drew the next paper, containing the name of Mr. E. R. Belilios, proposed by Mr. Ho Kai and seconded by Mr. H. M. Mehta.\n\nMr. Ho KAI-Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I rise with the greatest pleasure to propose Mr. E. R. Belilios for your nomination as your representative on the Legislative Council. Mr. Belilios is well known to every one of you, since he has been here for a period of over twenty-two years, and he needs no introduction from me. I am sure you all have met him in various public capacities, either as a director, or as a temporary member of the Legislative Council, or as one of the oldest Justices of the Peace, and you have seen him filling all the positions in which he has been placed with a degree of credit and ability which must have won your respect. I need scarcely say anything in his favour except to beg your earnest attention to the fact that notwithstanding many things have been said in favour of brilliant talents and eloquent speech, we must have as our representative member something more than that; we must have a man of long experience, yes, long local experience, and of independent position, one who is not likely to be influenced by any personal considerations, and one who will always strive to do everything in his power to protect the public interests. I have very much pleasure therefore in proposing Mr. E. R. Belilios.\n\nMr. MEHTA-I have very great pleasure in seconding the proposition which has been moved by Dr. Ho Kai.\n\nThe next paper drawn bore the name of Mr. F. D. Sassoon, proposed by Mr. C. P. Chater and seconded by Mr. W. K. Hughes.\n\nMr. CHATER-I have very great pleasure in proposing that Mr. Frederick David Sassoon be nominated by this body to a seat in the Legislative Council. Gentlemen, you are all well acquainted with Mr. Sassoon, and it does not require much from me to put forward his claims. He is the senior partner here in the firm of Messrs. David Sassoon, Sons, and Co., a firm established here ever since the colony was founded. His brothers, the previous partners of his firm, have always been very closely identified with this colony, and have even at the present moment a very large interest in the place. So also has the candidate I bring forward, and I trust he will have a much larger interest in the place before he leaves it.\n\nMr. HUGHES-I beg to second Mr. Chater's proposition.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Any gentleman wishing to make any remarks on the several candidates is at liberty to do so.\n\nNo remarks being offered, the CHAIRMAN explained the course to be observed in voting. Three ballot boxes were placed on a table behind a screen in the corner of the room, each bearing the name of one of the candidates in English and Chinese. Each Justice voting was requested to sign his name before going behind the screen, and on doing so received a voting bean to be deposited in the ballot box bearing the name of the candidate for whom he wished to vote.\n\nBefore the voting took place Mr. FRANCIS said-I propose on behalf of the meeting that the gentlemen who propose the candidates act as scrutineers, as we cannot all very well crowd round to look on.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-I will still ask that that be postponed till the ballot is closed.\n\nMr. FRANCIS-I beg to propose it now, as the proper time.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-Very well. Are the gentlemen present willing for that?\n\nMr. MACKEAN-I beg to second it.\n\nMr. DANBY-Before that is put to the meeting may I ask if you have any alternative system to propose?\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-As stated in the letter of instructions, I will be guided by the wishes of the Justices. The only point is that I wish we should conduct these proceedings step by step. The motion of Mr. Francis, a very proper one in its way, would come in more fittingly after the voting has been concluded and before the scrutiny commences. What I should have suggested would have been that the gentlemen put their votes in the ballot boxes and put their names on the paper, and when that was done, and before anything further was done with the ballot boxes, that the form of scrutiny be decided upon.\n\nMr. FRANCIS-As you were arranging the method of proceeding I thought you might have it settled at once.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN-It is all settled as far as I am concerned.\n\nPage 22\n\nMr. Francis",

F.

Your long connection with the School, extending over a period of more than twenty years, has made you the benefactor of thousands of youths in this colony and elsewhere, many of whom owe their success in life mainly to your liberal education, wise discipline, and careful training. As Head Master you have laboured long and perseveringly for the school, sparing neither time nor pains, and it must be gratifying to you to witness the satisfactory results of your arduous labours in seeing so many of your old pupils occupying numerous important and useful positions in this colony and other parts of the world. (Applause.) It is no less gratifying to you, I am sure, to meet such a number of them this afternoon in this old school-room where we have so often met before, and to receive from them their personal assurance of their deep appreciation and grateful acknowledgment of your valuable services, rendered to them and to their fellow countrymen. I assure you it gives us all very great pleasure to meet you here to-day, and you will do us much honour and favour by accepting from us the small token of regard and affection we now present to you in the shape of a scholarship founded in your name. May you long be preserved to the service of your country, and to the welfare and prosperity of this Colony. (Applause.) I now crave leave to read the address:— \n\nHongkong, February, 1884. The Honourable FREDERICK STEWART, LL.D., late Head Master of the Government Central School, Hongkong, \n\nDEAR SIR,—There has been a general and spontaneous feeling amongst your old pupils that some means should \n\nbe devised to express in some measure their grateful and profound esteem for yourself personally, and your most valuable services and work in connection with education in this Colony during a period of more than twenty years. The scope and value of your past services can only be adequately estimated or properly appreciated by those whom you sought to benefit by your learning, high personal example, constant kindness, indefatigable energy and wise discipline, and so we, who have been among the fortunate recipients of the fruits of your labour, wish to express our grateful remembrance and appreciative recognition in a becoming manner. \n\nThis is our object in coming before you to-day, and it is our desire in the first place, to give expression to the deep feelings of personal regard and high esteem which we in common with those of your pupils who are prevented by unavoidable causes from signing the address \n\nEnclosure \n\nC O. \n\n4283 \n\nROD \n\nor being present to-day, cherish towards you, and, secondly, to ask your permission to the founding of a scholarship at the Government Central School to be called \"The Stewart Scholarship,\" the funds necessary to endowing it having been subscribed for this express purpose by late pupils and scholars, who saw in this a way to give you a slight token of the honour and affectionate remembrance in which your distinguished connection with the School as Head Master for more than twenty years is held by them. We remain, yours very faithfully, \n\nHo Kai, Chairman \n\nWei Yuk, Hon. Treasurer Wong Yat Sun, Hon. Secretary Chun Shing Kong, Hon. Secretary \n\nCOMMITTEE. \n\nChan Shun Fat Ng Pai Wei Leon Ho Chang Sang Sin Siu Choang Lak Y Leong Su Kwong Yoon Mun Choy Chan Kai Ming Cheang Yu Koot \n\nLak Hing Nam Kom Cha Seung \n\nIru Yow \n\nHo Chi \n\nHa Pak \n\nChow Chu \n\nFung Shui \n\nU Lai Un Chan U Fai \n\nSUBSCRIBERS. \n\nChoy Tan Chong Tam Tsun \n\nHo Tsun Tsang Kit Fan Kan Shin Fo Chan Long Hica Wong \n\nApat Chan Achew Lo Aruck \n\nTip Ping Kwan \n\nWong Saik Chee \n\nTam I Nam Luk Tit Fo Fang You Lai Kau Lam Yat Chun Kin Wing Chan Pau \n\nKwan Chak Lam Leong A Than \n\nChoong Ho \n\nTan Kwan Un Chan Ree Kwok Chik Kan \n\nHo Kun Moon \n\nHo Tsink Sin \n\nTeau Ying Koa \n\nYoung Kit Chaen \n\nChan A Sang Kwok Yang Kam \n\nChan Wing Yim \n\nChan Won Fun Trang Kum Chiu Ko Chim Yuen Ho Ha Sing \n\nLie Yne Foong Choung Shing Chan Ngui Him Chang Shan Pang Ting Ching Want Hin Chong \n\nFILE YRG \n\nNg Yaoi Wei Sung Wei Took Wei Kut \n\nSoo Kwai Sang \n\nHo Fus \n\nTang Wing Shing \n\nHung Kam Shing Hong Kam Ning Lam Su \n\nLam Ping Young Fung Chuen Chan Taung Fat Chau Pak \n\nDr. STEWART, in accepting the address, said Dr. Ho Kai and gentlemen, I thank you most heartily for this memorable token of your good will, and for the gracious terms in which you have presented it. Those \"deep feelings of personal regard and high esteem,\" to which you have given expression in this address, I most cordially reciprocate. There is no portion of my past life to which I look back with greater pleasure than the years I spent at the Central School. When I think of the support which I invariably received from the community, and the untiring efforts of my scholars to profit by the instruction they received, I feel that I should be wanting in my duty if I did not avail myself of this opportunity to convey to those who treated me with such forbearance and confidence the assurance of my sincerest gratitude. But apart altogether from the honour you have this day conferred on me personally by endowing this scholarship and calling it by my name, I desire to assure you that it would have been impossible for you to have done anything which I appreciate so much as this substantial boon which you have bestowed upon the old school. I trust that those who may hereafter be successful in winning it will do as much as you have done to uphold the credit of the school, and continue to manifest the same feelings of regard towards it and towards all who are called upon to take part in the instruction of your successors. \n\n(Applause) \n\nThe company then adjourned to luncheon in an adjoining room, and a number of toasts were afterwards drunk, \n\nHis Excellency the GOVERNOR,\" in proposing \"The Queen,\" said-Gentlemen, as you all appear to have done full justice to the ample fare placed before us by our kind Chinese hosts and I am sure you will all agree with me there could not have been a better luncheon served on any table in any part of the world-- (applause)-I say after such a luncheon it is time we should proceed to the less substantial but perhaps more intellectual part of the proceedings. When I was asked by the old scholars to preside on this occasion I gladly consented to their request, partly out of respect to them and partly because I wished to show my sympathy with the graceful and gratifying mark of honour which they are paying to-day to my distinguished friend opposite, Dr. Stewart. (Loud applause). Of course it is my first duty as chairman to propose that toast which is the first toast in every assembly of British subjects",

        "content_text": "## PS \n\nI would suggest that a copy of this despatch and of its enclosure should be transmitted to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.\n\n## SMB.\n\n## Enclosure \n\n### FAREWELL BALL TO ADMIRAL DOWELL AT THE CITY HALL\n\nThough organised upon very brief notice, this Ball proved one of the most successful ever given in this colony. Scarcely more than a week elapsed from the time that the gallant Admiral expressed his preference for a ball over a banquet, before the event took place, but nevertheless nothing was found wanting, and the arrangements last night were as complete and the decorations as good as if the Ball had been premeditated months before. The reasons which influenced the leading residents in Hongkong in taking special steps to do honour to Admiral Sir W. M. Dowell previous to his departure for England need not be gone into here at any length, as they will be found fully set out below in the address presented to the gallant officer at the supper and in the speeches which accompanied it. His former association with the colony, services rendered in past times, and the effective manner in which he maintained the honour of England in those seas during the late Franco-Chinese and the Anglo-Russian crisis have been deemed fully sufficient reasons for this mark of esteem. Admiral Dowell's connection with the Royal Navy commenced in 1839, and probably his recollections of Hongkong are not the least pleasant among his many and varied experiences. His sterling and genial qualities have rendered him popular both afloat and ashore here, and the Squadron and the community here alike regret that his stay in these waters has been so short.\n\nThe general Committee for the Ball was a large one, and was appointed eight days since at the preliminary meeting called by the Chamber of Commerce, which body has been mainly instrumental in bringing about last night's gathering. The Committee comprised the following gentlemen: Mr. Justice Ackroyd, Mr. G. C. Anderson, Dr. P. B. C. Ayres, Messrs. E. R. Belilios, J. Bell-Irving, S. G. Bird, C. D. Bottomley, C. E. Bowles, E. Barney, G. de Champeaux, C. P. Chater, D. R. Crawford, J. B. Coughtrie, A. Coxon, G. S. Coxon, H. L. Dalrymple, W. H. F. Darby, Victor Deacon, W. M. Deane, W. Durran, N. J. Ede, W. H. Forbes, H. Foss, J. J. Francis, D. Gillies, M. Grote, H. A. Herbert, Dr. Ho Kai, Mr. H. Hoppus, Hon. T. Jackson, Messrs. R. R. Jukes, B. Layton, Lee Sing, Lee Tak Cheong, Hon. A. Lister, Messrs. J. H. S. Lockhart, A. P. MacEwen, John Macgregor, A. McClymont, A. Molver, E. Mackintosh, J. Melville Matson, A. McConachie, H. M. Mehta, G. E. Noble, Hon. E. L. O'Malley, Mr. A. H. Percival, Sir George Phillippo, Mr. L. Poosnecker, Hon. J. M. Price, Mr. W. H. Ray, Mr. A. G. Romano, Capt. Rumsey, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. F. D. Sassoon, Messrs. Hormusjee Setus, A. F. Smith, Capt. Steibel, Hon. F. Stewart, Messrs. A. G. Stokes, A. P. Stokes, J. Thorburn, Wei Ayuk, A. Westland, T. H. Whitehead, H. E. Wodehouse, and Hon. Wong Shing.\n\nThe hard work fell into the hands of gentlemen endowed with plenty of energy, and the result of their efforts must have been very gratifying to them, as the City Hall was made to look most charming in every section, and all the arrangements were so well devised that the affair passed off with the greatest éclat and without a single hitch. The working sub-committees were composed as follows:\n\n| Committee | Members |\n| --- | --- |\n| Decoration Committee | The Hon. J. M. Price (Surveyor-General), Captain R. M. Rumsey, and Messrs. A. Coxon and J. B. Coughtrie |\n| Supper Committee | Messrs. A. McClymont and J. Macgregor |\n| Dancing and Music Committee | Messrs. C. E. Bowles and G. S. Coxon |\n| Address Committee | Messrs. MacEwen, Mackintosh, and Francis |\n\nMr. J. Melville-Matson, who kindly volunteered to perform the very onerous duties of honorary secretary, was indefatigable in his exertions, and in the time at his disposal he accomplished wonders, being doubtless greatly assisted by the experience gained by him in a similar position last year on the occasion of the first St. George's Ball in this colony.\n\nThe heaviest work fell upon the Decoration Committee, who achieved a signal success. Mr. Price, with the resources of the Survey Department at his command, undertook the lion's share of the work: the entrance hall, staircase, landings, ante-room, and St. George's Hall. St. Andrew's Hall, the Theatre (Supper Room), &c., were in the hands of the other gentlemen, and by this division of labour two distinct styles of decoration were apparent, giving pleasing variety.\n\nCommencing with the approach to the building, the exterior was brilliantly illuminated by a large gas star over the entrance, and several powerful patent standard burners. The entrance hall disclosed a most attractive vista up the grand staircase. Every column was closely wreathed with spiral ropes of green leaves. On each column was a large gilt shield hanging from three large gilt tridents, and on the face of each shield were either the initials \"W. D.\", or Admiral Dowell's crest, a lion rampant. Round the base of each pillar was a bed of pot plants and shrubs. Passing up the stairs, the stone balustrade was covered with green wreaths and silver sprays, pot plants were placed on either side all the way up, and as far as the first landing a 64-pounder conical shell stood at each side of every stair, making a most effective border. On each of the three large windows on the first landing was a large round gilded shield, with a deep green border, on which were respectively the letters W., M., D., Admiral Dowell's initials. At the head of the stairs stood two brass howitzers mounted on a carriage, and the space of wall around was filled in with pot plants and foliage. On the pilasters all round this landing were similar gilded shields and tridents to those below, being Admiral Dowell's initials or crest, these being surrounded by sprays of bamboo leaves. On the wall spaces between the pilasters were gilded anchors, and above these were round targets in red and gold, with a green moss edging, and a fringe of bright cutlasses, on which were either the crest or monogram of the guest of the evening. From the level of the bottom of the windows to the top of the stairs was hung a wreath in small festoons, and in the centre of each festoon a silvered palm leaf, which had the appearance of the inner side of a marine shell. All the devices were well surrounded by sprays of green foliage and plants.\n\nSt. George's Hall was not profusely decorated, but it was treated with great taste and effect. Festoons of green wreaths depended from the head of each pilaster, and at the top of the pedestal of each was placed a small bank of moss and ferns, from which sprung graceful fronds of maiden hair fern. At the north end there was a large mirror, which was surrounded by pot plants and foliage, and in each doorway was suspended a basket of flowers. Scattered amongst...",

In some cases the settlement may be less than that assumed, but it is highly probable that over a considerable length of the wall it will be greatly exceeded.\n\nUnder these conditions the difficulties with which the roller would have to contend would probably prove insuperable.\n\nI have further been impressed since writing my former report with the slow rate of progress made with the Praya Reclamations now in course.\n\n1. In front of all. That is to the building of the wall, it follows that after the settlement due to the action of the rollers has taken place the road on which the roller has to travel will be 3 feet below low water level in S.W. monsoons, and about 5 feet below the same level in A. E. monsoons. But owing to the greatly varying conditions of the soft bottom the assumed subsidence can only be regarded as a mere approximation, or if you will, a conjecture based on experience of walls constructed under more favourable conditions.\n\n2.\n\n  \n    Length of wall\n    When commenced.\n    Contract dated\n    Probable date of completion.\n  \n  \n    1385 feet\n    \n    26.

Corps Quartermaster Sergeant G. WATLING has discharged his duties in a most satisfactory manner, and has rendered very efficient service in connection with the various gun practices, competitions, etc., during the year, and particularly at the Camp of Instruction.\n\n15. The Instructors for the Field Battery, \"A\" Machine Gun Co., Band, Signalling, and Ambulance Classes, have proved themselves very efficient and painstaking, and have discharged their duties to my entire satisfaction.\n\n16. The Non-Commissioned Officers and Men of the Corps have, with few exceptions, attended regularly and shown a praiseworthy desire to make themselves smart and efficient; their conduct and good feeling in Camp and on all occasions has been exceedingly good.\n\nREGULATIONS.\n\n17. The proposed new Regulations for the Corps were, after many various alterations and after much care and thought on the part of Major Sir J. W. CARRINGTON, Knt., C.M.G., submitted through you for His Excellency the General Officer Commanding, and His Excellency the Governor-in-Council's approval on the 4th instant.\n\nThe recommendations of the Committee held last year on the interior economy, etc., of the Corps, and sanctioned by C.S.O. No. 2581, dated 17th January, 1899, have been embodied in them.\n\nMISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.\n\n18.

STEDMAN, M.D. (Lond.), again conducted a course of lectures on Ambulance Work, accompanied with Stretcher Drills. 9 members presented themselves for examination, which was conducted by Major WATSON, R.A. Medical Corps: of the examinates 8 were successful.\n\n20. I have to request that the Chief Ordnance Officer, China, may be asked to keep up the usual quantities of 7-pounder R.M.L. Gun Ammunition for use of the Corps, to be indented for as required on repayment. Very little more Martini-Henry Carbine Ammunition, ball or blank, will, it is thought, be required by the Corps as the re-arming with the new Carbine of 303 calibre has been sanctioned, and it is hoped they will be received during the ensuing summer.\n\n21. The Local Government having sanctioned the proposals of the Committee held on the 29th September, 1898, it is felt that the result of their proposals cannot fail to add to the general efficiency of the Corps.\n\n22. During the past season attention has been drawn to the necessity for the re-arming of the Field Battery with a more modern gun than the 7-pounder R.M.L. in their possession. The question has been gone into fully (Vide this Office No. 8 dated 15th March, 1899), and it is hoped that the newest pattern gun may be supplied to the Corps.\n\n23. Attention has also been drawn (Vide this Office No. 5, dated 14th February, 1899) to the unserviceable state of the 120 Machine Gun belts on Corps charge, and the question of replacing the 45 with 303\" barrels to the 12 machine guns on Corps charge has also been gone into (Vide this Office No. 4, dated 17th April, 1899).\n\n24. The report of the Committee of Officers of the Corps on the question of uniform of the several ranks of the Corps was embodied in the new draft Regulations submitted recently for approval.\n\n25. Requisitions for the Capitation Grant for Efficients and Proficients have been sent direct to the Honourable the Colonial Treasurer.\n\n26. It will be seen from this report that the progress of the Corps remains good and the interest shown by the Government and the Legislature during the past season cannot but have a good effect on the Corps in general.\n\nMajor Sir J. W. CARRINGTON, Knt., C.M.G., and Commandant, proceeded on leave on the 5th instant, from which date I assumed command.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nR. B.

Although the situation may only now be said to have reached a critical stage, difficulties began to arise in April of last year, when Mr. Botelho Junr., the 4th Clerk, who had been four years in the Office, threw up his post in favour of a more lucrative appointment outside, and Mr. Rahfeek, who had been 6th Clerk and Indian and Malay Interpreter for seven years followed suit a month later.\n\n3. Events have moved more rapidly lately. The Assistant Harbour Master's letter of the 10th instant speaks for itself. The resignation of the 4th Clerk, Mr. Remedios, who has been offered a good berth in a Mercantile Office, was sent in the following day. Two thoroughly good Officers, Mr. Crake, Assistant Government Marine Surveyor, and Mr. Mclver, Junk Inspector, have informed me of their intention to leave as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made for their taking up better appointments elsewhere, and Mr. Alves, 1st Clerk, as you are aware, retires on pension on the 1st of May.\n\n4. I found, on taking over my duties a year ago, that a spirit of dissatisfaction prevailed throughout the Department. This may be traced to two causes:-\n\n| (1) | That the salaries are considered inadequate to meet the cost of living in the Colony. |\n| --- | --- |\n| (ii) | ... |\n\nThe Colonial Secretary.",

        "content_text": "# 517\n\n**[This Document is the Property of His Britannic Majesty's Government]**\n\nThe soldiers had barely left the launch when a boat containing twelve men, coming up on the same side of the launch as the guard-boat, hove alongside. They were thought to be passengers, and were taken on board; immediately they opened fire with revolvers and began to search and rob. The guard-boat men heard the firing and were hailed by the captain, but took no notice. The pirates forced the engineer to turn the ship downstream, and on reaching Lui Ko Kung, a village about 5 miles above Do-sing and 12 below Feng Chuan, decamped, compelling the engineer to accompany them. The value of the booty taken was 900 dollars, chiefly from cattle-dealers. The engineer was compelled to accompany the pirates across country for an hour or so when he was set at liberty. He afterwards made his way to Do-sing, where he was picked up by the \"Feinam,\" which had come down from Wuchow in search of him.\n\n1. That the registered owner of the launch is C. T. Fisher, who chartered the vessel on a \"net charter\" to Liu Kwang Lo, who also acted as captain.\n\n2. That these \"net charters\" are of several months' duration, and that to every intent and purpose all interest in the vessel and her crew passes from the registered owner to the charterer whose charter-party is a Chinese document, drawn up in this case between him and the Chuan firm acting as Chinese agents for Mr. Fisher, whose name is not mentioned, so that all semblance of British interest in the craft is carefully eliminated. Hence the fact that the charterer did not feel called upon to report the piracy to His Majesty's Consul at Wuchow on his arrival there on the 20th ultimo.\n\n3. That in the circumstances obtaining under No. 3, and on the evidence taken, it is abundantly clear that the registered owner, Mr. Fisher, had no voice in the management and direction of the steam launch \"Feinam,\" though registered as owned by him at His Britannic Majesty's Consulate-General, and that he was entirely ignored by the Chinese charterer, so much so that, although he professed to have frequently requested the latter to bring the launch down to Canton in order that an inquiry might be held, no notice was taken of these requests. Further, that it is beyond doubt that had His Majesty's ship \"Robin\" not proceeded on the 20th instant up river and arrested her, she would not have reached Canton for an indefinite period. This is established by the facts that when arrested at Luk Po on the 23rd instant at 8:30 P.M., she was bound up river for Wuchow, and that although the charterer stated to His Majesty's Consul-General on the 20th instant that she would be at Shui Hing that evening and remain there for two days, she was actually at Ch'en Tsun on that day, arriving same day at Samshui, which she left on the 22nd, while there is nothing in her way-book to show that she touched at Shui Hing between these dates.\n\n4. The way-book is in order, but the complement of the crew is four in excess of the number allowed in the Inland Waters Register, and the captain had been changed without notification to Consular or Customs authorities.\n\n5. The unanimous opinion of the Court is (1) that \"the net charter\" system under which two of Mr. Fisher's launches, namely, the \"Feinam\" and \"Nam Hing Wo,\" now run is contrary to the intention of their British nationality, and that these launches should therefore be at once struck off the register at His Majesty's Consulate-General; (2) that the voyage charter system under which the remainder of the launches trade is also very imperfect and requires careful amendment, aiming at:\n|  |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| (a) | A satisfactory description of charter-party. |\n| (b) | A suitable guarantee of the captain and crew. |\n| (c) | An armed guard to search passengers as they come on board. |\n| (d) | The imposition of full responsibility for the vessel and her complement upon Mr. Fisher, making him in fact, and not merely in name, the sole guarantor to His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General that there shall be no misuse of the British flag. |\n| (e) | Any other requirements which may appear desirable as the drafting of these Regulations proceeds. |\n\n6.

Jordan to Sir Edward Grey.-(Received February 23.)\n\nSir,\n\nPeking, January 5, 1907.\n\nWith reference to the correspondence inclosed in my despatch No. 490 of the 23rd November, I have the honour to state that on the 7th December I addressed a Circular of instructions to His Majesty's Consuls in the sense of the last paragraph of Lord Salisbury's despatch No. 171 of the 13th October, 1898, to Sir Claude MacDonald. I am now in receipt of a despatch dated the 22nd December (copy inclosed), in which Sir Pelham Warren submits for my consideration the case of a steamer registered in the Shanghae Consulate-General as a British ship in the name of Mr. E. Moller, a British subject, who has applied to transfer it from his own name to that of a Hong Kong registered Company. Mr. Moller admits that the greater part of the capital and the majority of the shareholders of this Company are not British, and, according to the tenor of the instructions above mentioned, the steamer, when transferred, would not appear to be entitled to British protection. At the same time, the Supreme Court at Shanghae advise Sir Pelham Warren that the Company is qualified to be the owner of a British ship under section 1 (d) of the Merchant Shipping Act of 1894, and is therefore legally entitled to demand the transfer.\n\nAs Sir Pelham Warren states, the position thus created presents some difficulty. There is already a number of Hong Kong and other British Companies doing business in China, as regards which it is more than probable that a majority of the Managing Directors and shareholders are not British subjects, and that the greater part of the capital employed is also not British; and the tendency is for this number to increase. The point raised would seem to be one of practical importance, and I therefore venture to request your instructions in regard to it.\n\nI have, &c.  \n(Signed)  \n**J. N. JORDAN.**\n\n### Inclosure in No. 1.\n\nConsul-General Sir P. Warren to Sir J. Jordan,\n\nShanghae, December 22, 1906.\n\nWith reference to your Circular of the 7th December, 1906, I have the honour to submit for your consideration a case which has just occurred at this port.\n\nThe steam-ship \"Canton\" is registered at this Consulate as a British ship in the name of Mr. Eric Moller, a British subject. Mr. Moller has now applied to transfer this ship from his own name to that of a Company in which he is interested both as a Director and shareholder. The Company in question is registered at Hong Kong as a British Company, but Mr. Moller admits that the greater part of the capital, as well as the majority of shareholders, are not British.\n\nI am advised by the Supreme Court that the application should be entertained, as the Company is qualified to be the owner of a British ship under section 1 (d) of the Merchant Shipping Act of 1894, and that they are therefore legally entitled to demand the transfer.\n\nThe position, however, would appear to be difficult if the vessel be accepted as a British ship, and as such be entitled to certain rights, rights from which the owners would be excluded by the official prerogative to which reference is made in your Circular.\n\nIn view of the fact that cases of this nature are by no means unusual at this port, I have the honour to request your instructions as to the advisability of recognizing ships owned by bodies corporate registered at Hong Kong, but with a known preponderance of foreign capital.\n\nI have, &c.  \n(Signed)  \n**PELHAM L. WARREN.**\n\n`[2376 2-11]`",

Grey to transmit to you herewith to be laid before the Board of Trade, copies of correspondence which has passed with His Majesty's Minister at Peking, relative to the question of recognizing ships as British which are owned by Companies registered as British, but having a known preponderance of foreign capital.\n\nSir J. Jordan reported the case of a steamer registered at Shanghae as a British ship in the name of Mr. E. Moller, a British subject, who had applied to transfer the vessel from his own name to that of a Hong Kong registered Company. As the greater part of the capital and the majority of the shareholders of the Company in question were admittedly non-British, Sir J. Jordan pointed out that, according to the tenor of his previous instructions, the steamer when transferred would not appear to be entitled to British protection. At the same time it was stated that the Supreme Court at Shanghae had advised His Majesty's Consul-General that the Company was qualified to be the owner of a British ship under section 1(d) of the Merchant Shipping Act of 1894, and that the transfer could therefore legally be made. Sir J. Jordan accordingly asked for instructions as to what course he should pursue in the matter.\n\nAs it was not clear what Sir P. Warren meant in his despatch to Sir J. Jordan of the 22nd December, 1906 (inclosure in Sir J. Jordan's despatch No. 6 of the 5th January last) by the words \"is advised by the Supreme Court,\" Sir J. Jordan was directed to ascertain whether reference was made to personal advice tendered by one or both of the Judges of the Court or to a decision pronounced by the Supreme Court. Copies of previous correspondence relative to the point at issue were at the same time forwarded with the request that the Judge or Judges of the Court should be asked if, by the light of these documents, they saw reason to modify or add to their original opinion.\n\nA despatch has since been received from Sir J. Jordan inclosing a statement of the views of Sir P. Warren, and of those of both of the Judges of His Majesty's Supreme Court at Shanghae.\n\nAs Sir J. Jordan points out, compliance with the instructions contained in Lord Salisbury's despatch No. 171 of the 13th October, 1898 (of which a copy is inclosed for convenience of reference), coupled with the enforcement of the views now expressed by Sir H. de Sausmarez, would apparently lead to the anomaly, exemplified in the present instance, of affording British protection to a ship belonging to a Company which is itself denied such protection.\n\nThe Board will no doubt recollect that in the case of the \"Swatow,\" Kityang Launch Company, it was held by this Department that the decision must depend upon the interpretation to be placed upon the phrase \"principal place of business\" of the Merchant Shipping Act of 1894, and in this opinion the Board concurred in their letter to this Office of the 16th December, 1904. The points raised by the present case are clearly stated in Sir P. Warren's despatch to Sir J. Jordan of the 6th June last, and in each of the three categories to which he refers, the decision appears to hinge on the interpretation to be placed on the phrase \"principal place of business\" to which allusion has already been made.\n\nShould it be held that, in the light of the Law Officers' opinion of the 23rd July, 1901, the application made by Mr. Moller cannot be entertained, the course to be adopted would appear to be clear as regards the steam-ship \"Canton.\"\n\nShould the contrary view be held, it would seem impossible to avoid the anomaly referred to above, of affording British protection to a ship belonging to a Company which is itself denied such protection.\n\n* Sir J. Jordan, No. 296, June 20; ditto, No. 6, January 5; to ditto, No. 108, March 12, 1907. † To Sir C. MacDonald, No. 171, October 13, 1898.\n\n[2652 m-1]",

I have looked up the record of sick-leave and I find that between the 1st March, 1907 (when he was appointed Harbour Master) and the 1st February 1911 (when he went on leave) Commander Taylor had in all 11 days' sick-leave, viz:-\n| Year | Days | Dates |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1908 | 2 days | 30.6.08 and 3.11.08 |\n| 1909 | 2 days | 26th & 27th June, 1909 |\n| 1910 | 7 days | from 22.2.10 to 27.2.10 and 19.5.10 |\n\nHe has no sick-leave recorded against him during January 1911; in fact his last sick-leave is dated 5 months before the defalcations occurred.\n\n## \n5. B. Commander Taylor's letter of the 1st June, 1911\n\nCommander Taylor details at some length but not very accurately in paragraph 5 sqq. of his letter of the 1st June, 1911, the history of the clerical changes in the Harbour Department during recent years. I therefore attach a statement showing the clerical staff of that department as it existed when on the 1st March 1907 Commander Taylor became Harbour Master, and the changes made since then. The statement shows that, omitting the Imports and Exports Office for which Commander Taylor is no longer responsible, there were seven non-Chinese clerks in the Department in 1907 and that there are now six non-Chinese clerks in the department. Moreover, when Commander Taylor took leave, Mr Molver had not yet been re-transferred to the post of Chief Junk Inspector, but was still First Clerk in the Harbour office. Therefore, at that date there were still, as in 1907, seven non-Chinese clerks in the Department.\n\nIt follows that Commander Taylor's general complaint, that his efficient Portuguese clerks were one by one taken away and their places filled by less efficient Chinese clerks, is not borne out by the facts.\n\n## \n6. In paragraph 5 Commander Taylor makes special mention of Mr L.G. d'Almada e Castro as one of the efficient clerks removed from his department. It is, therefore, interesting to note that this...",

But this appointment was made as the result of a recommendation received from Commander Taylor on the 21st October 1909. Commander Taylor now admits that Mr Molver \"had no clerical attainments\" (paragraph 12) and before going on leave, Commander Taylor asked Commander Beckwith, his locum tenens, to represent that Mr Molver, during nearly a year's trial, had left much to be desired. Both Commander Taylor and Commander Beckwith were of the opinion that, although an excellent officer as a Junk Inspector, Mr Molver would never be a success as First Clerk (minute 7.2.11). Accordingly, upon Commander Beckwith's recommendation, Mr Molver was, with effect from August 1911, transferred back to his former post as Chief Junk Inspector, and Mr Chan Pui was appointed First Clerk in his stead. Commander Beckwith minuted in connection with this appointment on 28th June, 1911, \"that he considered Mr Chan Pui deserved the promotion and should be pleased if Mr Chan could remain in the Harbour Department while he (Commander Beckwith) was acting Harbour Master\" (`0.5.0. 6396/09`).\n\n### \nI pass now to Commander Taylor's complaints against Mr Chan Pui. His first complaint, that Mr Chan Pui was appointed Second Clerk and Accountant in the Harbour Department despite renewed protests from Captain Barnes Lawrence and himself, has been disproved by paragraph 9 of this memorandum. Commander Taylor adds that Mr Chan Pui came from the Registrar General's Department, where he had been found wanting in knowledge of English and Chinese, and therefore inefficient; and that \"he based his claims to promotion chiefly upon the fact that he had written an anonymous letter to the Colonial Secretary\". After careful search of the records, I can find no authority whatever...",

T. E. DUNN, \n\nShanghai, Aug. 30. \n\nJudgement was given in this case, Mr. Allan G. Mossop appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. F. Alan Robinson (on behalf of Mr. H. P. Wilkinson) for the defendant. \n\nHis Lordship's judgement was as follows:- \n\nIn this case the plaintiff sues the defendant for a balance of Tls. 1,650 alleged to be due under a contract made by the plaintiff as broker for the defendant for the purchase of 200 Anglo-Java shares. The facts are as follows: On March 30, 1910, Mr. Watt, the plaintiff, as broker purchased from Mr. G. W. Cooper, an employee of Mr. Wattie, a promoter of the Anglo-Java Company, 200 Anglo-Javas at 45 for delivery on the special settlement day, the scrip not being then issued. And on the same day, he sold the same number to Mr. Dunn, the defendant, on the same terms. On the date of the special settlement, April 18, 1910, Dunn informed Watt that he was unable to take up the shares. Watt settled independently with Cooper; and asked Dunn to come to his office and discuss the affair. Mr. Dunn there met Mr. O. Moller, who, he contends, Mr. Watt represented to him as the other principal, i.e., the person from whom the shares had been bought. Watt denies this; but I find that it was so, for the fact that Moller some months later informed Dunn that he had sold no shares to Watt at 45, was shown to have had a strong effect on Dunn's mind, to have come as a surprise to him—and to have determined him to stand upon his legal rights, whence this action. \n\nAlthough Watt was an outside broker, this contract was made in the usual Shanghai forward share contract form, and subject to the Rules of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. In order to determine the rights of the parties, it is essential to understand exactly what the course of business under a Shanghai forward share-contract was at the period in question. Now, the practice of the Shanghai Stock Exchange in forward business was, when this contract was entered into—I believe it is now or is to be altered—that (1) a share broker made two distinct contracts, one between himself and the buyer, and one between himself and the seller: while at home a share broker makes one contract—that between buyer and seller. The Shanghai share-broker sent the buyer a bought-note and kept the sold-note himself, and sent the seller a sold-note, keeping the corresponding \n\n238 \n\n42430 \n\n27 OCT 191) \n\nPage 240\n\nPage 241",

        "content_text": "But in order that a transaction may fall under the Gaming Act both parties must contemplate differences merely. I have no doubt defendant, when he bought, did.\n\nHe swears, he intended to sell before the special settlement; but did the other party to the contract intend this? If Cooper is to be regarded as the other party, I have no doubt he intended nothing of the kind, but to plant these shares on someone or other through Watt and make Watt responsible for the price, as he did. If Watt be regarded as the other principal, the question arises, did Watt think it practically certain that Dunn could not take up the shares at due date? If he did, the Gaming Act applies and the contract is voidable. For example, if under the Shanghai practice a broker makes a contract such as this, under which over $1,000 has to be found in a few weeks to pay for shares on which the banks will not advance, with a young clerk on a salary of $100-$300 a month, the broker knows or must be taken to know that the clerk is gambling on differences and such a contract might therefore be voidable. But defendant in this case was a man of middle age in a secure position receiving a salary of $600 a month; and I am not satisfied on the evidence that Watt ought to be held to have known that Dunn could not somehow pay for these shares at due date. The defence of the Gaming Act therefore fails.\n\nBut defendant further pleads that this was not a contract of brokerage at all. Now if I look at the acts of the plaintiff in the light of the above-stated practice I find that he treats the contract as one between himself and Dunn. Cooper, who, he alleges, was the other principal, he never brought into relations with Dunn but paid himself. Moller, with whom Dunn had nothing to do and who declined to have anything to do with Dunn, he represented as the other principal. If that is the form the contract took, Dunn is not liable because Watt was principal and the contract is not one of brokerage at all. And even if Cooper is to be regarded as the other principal the contract is voidable, because Watt took brokerage from both Cooper and Dunn without Dunn's knowledge. Watt put himself in the morally unfortunate predicament of having to use his skill, knowledge and industry at the same time to buy as cheaply as possible for Dunn and to sell as dearly as possible for Cooper. The law has no pity for such moral unfortunates. Cf. Story on Agency § 31 and Judgment of H. H. Judge Thayer of the U.S. Court for China in Shekury v. Brooks, \"N. C. Herald,\" December 23, 1910, at p. 738.\n\nThere must be judgment for Defendant, but without costs, for his defence has no merits.\n\n240",

        "content_text": "5\n\nLE SIAM:\n\nSon Exc. M. PHYA SUDHAM MAITRI, Envoyé Extraordinaire et Ministre Plénipotentiaire à Londres, à Bruxelles et à La Haye, Délégué;\n\nM. WILLIAM J. ARCHER, Conseiller de Légation à Londres et à La Haye, Délégué.\n\nDans une série de réunions tenues du 1 au 9 juillet 1913, la Conférence, après avoir examiné la question qui lui était soumise par le paragraphe 2 de l'article 28 de la Convention Internationale de l'Opium du 23 janvier 1912,\n\nI. a décidé que le dépôt des ratifications peut avoir lieu dès maintenant.\n\nII.\n\na adopté à l'unanimité la résolution suivante:\n\nDésirant poursuivre, dans la voie ouverte par la Commission Internationale de Shanghaï de 1909 et par la Première Conférence de la Haye de 1912, la suppression progressive de l'abus de l'opium, de la morphine, de la cocaine, ainsi que des drogues préparées ou dérivées de ces substances, et considérant plus que jamais la nécessité et le profit mutuel d'une entente internationale sur ce point, la 2ème Conférence Internationale de l'Opium\n\n1°) émet le vœu que le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas veuille bien faire remarquer aux Gouvernements d'Autriche-Hongrie, de Norvège et de Suède, que la signature, la ratification, la préparation des mesures législatives et l'entrée en vigueur de la Convention constituent quatre phases distinctes qui permettent dès maintenant à ces Puissances de procéder à la signature supplémentaire.\n\nEn effet, il ressort des art. 23 et 24 qu'une période de 6 mois pourra s'écouler entre l'entrée en vigueur de la Convention et la rédaction des projets de lois, règlements et autres mesures prévues par la Convention. En outre, le dernier alinéa de l'art. 24 permet aux Puissances Contractantes de s'entendre après ratification sur la date de l'entrée en vigueur des dites mesures législatives. D'ailleurs, on ne peut s'empêcher de faire remarquer que les difficultés prévues par l'Autriche-Hongrie, la Norvège et la Suède, en ce qui concerne leur législation, n'étaient pas inconnues aux Délégués des Puissances Signataires et ont même fait l'objet d'un examen approfondi de la part des 12 Puissances Contractantes. Presque toutes les Puissances Signataires se trouvent dans la même situation que les Gouvernements susmentionnés et n'ont pas encore élaboré tous les projets de lois prévus par la Convention;\n\n2°) émet le vœu que le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas veuille bien communiquer aux Gouvernements de la Bulgarie, de la Grèce, du Monténégro, du Pérou, de la Roumanie, de la Serbie, de la Turquie et de l'Uruguay la résolution suivante:\n\n\"La Conférence regrette que certains Gouvernements aient refusé ou omis de signer jusqu'à présent la Convention. La Conférence est d'avis que l'abstention de ces Puissances entraverait de la façon la plus sérieuse les buts humanitaires poursuivis par la Convention. La Conférence exprime le ferme espoir que ces Puissances reviendront sur leur attitude ou négative ou dilatoire;\"\n\n3°) émet le vœu que le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas veuille bien faire observer au Gouvernement hélvétique qu'il est dans l'erreur en considérant sa coopération comme d'une valeur à peu près nulle. A l'encontre de ce qui est dit dans la lettre du Conseil Fédéral du 25 octobre 1912, la Conférence estime que\n\nla coopération de la Suisse serait de l'effet le plus utile tandis que son abstention compromettrait les résultats de la Convention. Quant à la question soulevée par le Conseil Fédéral concernant les attributions respectives des législations fédérales et cantonales, il est à noter que de semblables difficultés ont été déjà envisagées par la Première Conférence qui en a tenu compte dans la rédaction de la Convention;\n\n4°) invite les Gouvernements Signataires à charger leurs Représentants à l'étranger d'appuyer les démarches susindiquées de leurs collègues néerlandais;\n\nIII. a émis le vœu suivant: que dans le cas où la signature de toutes les Puissances invitées en vertu du paragraphe 1 de l'article 23 n'aurait pas été obtenue à la date du 31 décembre 1913, le Gouvernement des Pays-Bas invite immédiatement les Puissances Signataires à désigner des Délégués pour procéder à La Haye à l'examen de la possibilité de faire entrer en vigueur la Convention internationale de l'Opium du 23 janvier 1912.\n\nEn foi de quoi, les Délégués ont revêtu le présent Protocole de leurs signatures.\n\nFait à La Haye, le neuf juillet mil neuf cent treize en un seul exemplaire, qui restera déposé dans les archives du Gouvernement des Pays-Bas et dont des copies, certifiées conformes, seront remises par la voie diplomatique à toutes les Puissances tant Signataires que non Signataires.\n\nPour l'Allemagne\n\nPour les Etats-Unis d'Amérique.\n\nPour la République Argentine\n\nPour la Belgique\n\nPour les Etats-Unis du Brésil\n\nPour le Chili.\n\nPour la Chine\n\nPour la Colombie\n\nPour le Costa-Rica.\n\nPour le Danemark.\n\nPour la République Dominicaine\n\nPour l'Equateur.\n\nPour l'Espagne\n\nPour la France.\n\nF.

To which H. replied \"that C.and Co.had even in peace times used normal financial conditions and they continually wanted Extras\" --there is not much to be said against that.\n\nMoller does not know/ want to do any business in the immediate future with the corrupt China, whereas old D. is continually urging it forward (Kuhlon wonders if a holiday might be instituted a la Churchill's idea re the English and German ship-building programmes, it being understood of course as soon as Skoda Creusot etc. bestir themselves we must then again step out of the restTC). This seems to be a vague and colourless theory.\n\nMoller wants notice given to cancel the present Krupp/ Erhardt agreement under any circumstances as E. is left out by it since he will have no chance in China at equal prices. He is trying to get a new contract according to which the business will be divided between Krupp and Erhardt in a certain proportion.\n\nBaur thought Krupp 75% and Erhardt 25% (Kuhlon mentioned to Baur that he was willing to agree to 66% and 33%).\n\nWe must now see what will be brought forward at Tuesday's conference. Of course, we shall not allow ourselves to be bound.",

Under the authority conveyed in Mr. Long's telegram of the 12th May, 1917, a Shipping Board was constituted, and on their advice the S.S. \"Hollowra\" was selected for the purpose of bringing coal to the Colony and was requisitioned by the Commodore at the request of this Government. The vessel was put under the management of Messrs. Dodwell & Company, the local agents of the Kailan Mining Administration, who were supplying the coal. Subsequently, when the Hongkong Government's Control Scheme was instituted, the vessel was brought under that scheme and its management was placed in the hands of Messrs. Moller and Company, agents for the owners.\n\n3.\n\nThe plaintiffs in the present action and the other shipowners who are behind them do not appear to be anxious, for the time being at any rate, to proceed with...\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nVISCOUNT MILNER, G.C.B.,\n\n&c..",

        "content_text": "September 3rd, 1921.]\n\nIn giving judgment, His Lordship said the only legal defence raised by the defendants was that the contract entered into was not an enforcible contract. On that point he had heard evidence and found that the agreement for a lease between the parties was sufficient and valid. The defence therefore failed, and judgment was entered for the plaintiff with costs, the order for possession to be suspended for one month.\n\nDWELLING OR GODOWN?\n\nA claim to recover possession of the ground floor of premises situated in Pottinger Street, and at present occupied by the Cheung Hing firm, was heard before the Puisne Judge (Mr. J. R. Wood), in the Summary Court, on August 31st. The writ set out that the premises in question were used as a godown and not as a domestic tenement within the meaning of the Rents Ordinance.\n\nFor the plaintiff, Wong Tsai, Mr. F. E. Nash appeared; and the claim was opposed on behalf of the defendants by Mr. M. K. Lo.\n\nThe first floor of the same building is also occupied by the defendants and at the outset it was agreed that this portion of the premises was a domestic tenement within the meaning of the Ordinance. The issue was as to whether the two floors were let under a single tenancy, or separately, and Mr. Nash undertook to call evidence to prove that the latter was the case.\n\nIn the witness box the plaintiff stated that the ground floor was let first at a rental of $60, and the first floor later at a rental of $40.\n\nMr. Lo, however, was able to produce rent receipts showing that both floors were let together at a rental of $80 and the Judge decided that the claim should be dismissed.\n\nHis Honour held that the two floors constituted a domestic tenement and that any claim for possession must therefore be brought under the Rents Ordinance. The present application had been made outside the provisions of the Ordinance and must therefore fail.\n\nJudgment was given for the defendants with costs.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\nEUROPEAN FINED FOR ASSAULTING AN INDIAN SERGEANT.\n\nThe hearing took place, before Mr. R. E. Lindsell, on August 27th, of the adjourned summonses against John Thompson, master mariner, staying at the Carlton Hotel, alleging disorderly conduct outside the Hongkong Hotel on the night of August 25th, and an assault upon an Indian police sergeant.\n\nThe defendant, who was represented by Mr. D. H. Blake (of Messrs. Wilkinson & Grist), cross-summoned the police sergeant for assault and using abusive language.\n\nMr. T. H. King, the Deputy Superintendent of Police, conducted the case for the prosecution.\n\nPolice Sergeant Nabi Bux, B246, said he had been 22 years in the force and was now on traffic duty. On August 25th, at 8.45 p.m., he was on general patrol duty near the Hongkong Hotel. The sergeant on duty there, L/S B135, asked him to stand by his post for a minute, and he did so. While there, he noticed a yellow chow bitch running under the Hongkong Hotel verandah. It was running after, and barking at people; he saw it do this four times. Afterwards it stood by two Europeans—the defendant and another. He went up to the two Europeans and said, in English \"Please catch this dog; biting any passengers.\" The answer he received was \"Get away, you black...\" Mr. King: Who said that? The witness (pointing to the defendant): This gentleman.\n\nThe witness went on to say that, in response to this, he said, again in English, \"Please you not abuse me; you get this dog.\" Again, with bad language. For the second time he said, \"Why you abuse me, please?\" Defendant said, \"This is not my dog.\" Witness said \"Not your dog, I catch this dog and go police station.\" As he bent to catch the dog, and called it to him, he received a blow on his shoulders from the defendant. Witness was on the roadway at the time; the defendant came out from under the verandah and struck him. Defendant appeared to be about to strike another blow, but witness took hold of him and another constable came and also held him. Together, they took him to the police station. The dog followed, still barking and running at people. Defendant resisted them most of the way to the station.\n\nThe witness said he did not, at any time, use any other words to the defendant beyond what he had said, nor did he abuse him in Hindustani.\n\nMr. King: During this altercation did the other European say or do anything at all? Witness: No, he did not interfere. He took no part but came to the police station with us.\n\nBefore the defendant struck you that blow did you touch him at all?—No.\n\nIn cross-examination, the witness denied that he threatened to shoot the dog or that he used objectionable language to the defendant.\n\nMr. Blake: I put it to you that you did, more than once, and used other words such as \"swine.\"\n\nWitness: No, I do not abuse Chinese. Should I use such language to an English gentleman?\n\nP.-c. B284 saw the beginning of the incident. The Indian sergeant spoke to the Europeans and pointed to the dog. Then he saw the sergeant bend down to the dog and the defendant struck him a blow. The sergeant caught hold of his arm and witness went up and took hold of the other arm. They took him to the police station.\n\nCross-examined: He had met the defendant before. The latter accompanied him to the station, a few days ago, and accused him of assaulting a coolie whom he had arrested.\n\nInspector Grant said that, on arrival at the police station, the defendant was very excited but did not appear to be under the influence of drink. There was no indication that he had been roughly handled by the police; his clothing was not disarranged.\n\nMr. King: Did he make any remarks to the Indian sergeant in the charge room? Witness: He called him several very filthy names, several times; I had to speak to him about it.\n\nMr. King: Call a spade a spade and tell us what he said.\n\nInspector Grant repeated expressions similar to those already given by the Indian Sergeant. Defendant also said that if he got a chance at the Indian sergeant, outside, he would kill him. He mentioned that he wanted to make a charge against the police sergeant but he did not specify it.\n\nMr. Blake called the defendant. Defendant said he was a master mariner, staying at the Carlton Hotel. He had been on the China Coast for 16 or 17 years.\n\nOn Thursday evening, at 8.30 o'clock, when standing outside the Hongkong Hotel, in Des Voeux Road, he noticed an Indian policeman he had taken to the police station a few days previously. The man pointed him out to a police sergeant and laughed. They hailed another Indian sergeant and all three stood near him and laughed. A dog belonging to the Carlton Hotel, which usually followed him, was attracted by a piece of steak carried on a string by a Chinese woman. He called the dog to his feet. The police sergeant said to him, \"Is that your damn dog?\" and he replied, \"No, get away from me; mind your own damn business.\" The police sergeant then said he would shoot the damn dog, and he rejoined \"If you do, I will shoot your damn head off.\" Defendant added that he said that more as a joke than anything.\n\n\"Funny sort of joke,\" commented the Magistrate.\n\nThe witness added that the police sergeant used offensive language to him and lifted him off his feet and kicked him three or four times. He denied striking the policeman; he had more sense than to do that, though he had great provocation. He admitted using bad language to the officer, after the latter had abused him. He had remonstrated with both police officers, before, for harsh treatment of Chinese.\n\nCross-examined: The last ship he commanded was the Chefoo; he had not commanded a ship for 2 years; had been staying at the Carlton Hotel since April 26th; before that in England for two years. He could have had employment but would not accept the positions going. As a white man, he objected to being taken to the station by Indians; in India only European officers were allowed to arrest Europeans.\n\nAlex. Livingston Woods, ship's mate, staying at the Carlton Hotel, said he was with the defendant at the time of the incident. He drew away some paces when the sergeant spoke, not wishing to be involved in the matter. He could not give the exact words used. The first bad language he heard was used by the sergeant. Defendant did not strike the officer, he walked up to him to get a closer view of his number and the sergeant then seized him and shook him.\n\nMr. Blake, addressing the Magistrate, said that there was absence of motive on the defendant's part, but the police might have acted out of spite, on account of protests against their conduct made by the defendant.\n\nThe Magistrate: I find both charges against John Thompson proved. I fine him $15 on the first summons, and $25 on the second. I find the charges against the police sergeant not proved and dismiss them both.\n\nMAGISTRACY.\n\nTHEFT AT THE DOCKS.\n\nMr. S. Williamson, Manager of Messrs. Moller & Company, was the complainant in a charge of stealing a cigarette case brought against a Chinese youth, at the Magistracy, on August 26th, before Mr. R. E. Lindsell. The defendant stated to be an apprentice fitter at Kowloon Docks.\n\nMr. Williamson said that he was on board the Lindsay Moller, on August 25th, when she was being berthed for repairs at Kowloon Docks. He took off his coat and left it on the table outside the captain's cabin. He was absent for some time, and on his return was informed that the defendant was in police custody for theft. He missed his cigarette case and afterwards reported to Inspector Aris, of Hunghom Station, to that effect. Witness was then informed that the cigarette case had been found in the defendant's possession.\n\nThe defendant was sentenced to three months' detention at the Laichikok reformatory.\n\nPage 210\n\nPage 211",

The estimates for 1921 were based on a rate of 3s. 4d., and the average for the year is 2s. 8d. I might mention that against this sum of $1,001,262.12 is offset a considerably larger saving of some 2 million dollars in the five main heads of expenditure which are not shown in this Bill.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL seconded, and the Bill was read a first time.\n\nTHE INDEMNITY BILL.\n\nPETITION PRESENTED BY LOCAL SHIPOWNERS.\n\nThe owners instruct us they have also had a number of meetings amongst themselves, at which the Government's proposals have been most carefully considered and discussed.\n\nThe owners have come to the conclusion that the remuneration offered by the Government is not only wholly inadequate but must result in a heavy loss to the owners.\n\nHONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1912.\n\nBy a Proclamation in the London Gazette of the 14th August, 1914, certain persons were appointed to the Board contemplated by His Majesty's proclamation of the 3rd August, 1914, and Lord Morsey was appointed as President and Mr. William Walton as Vice-President.\n\nShould the above scheme have been brought into operation under the powers referred to in (a) above it is obvious from the decision in The China Mutual Steam Navigation Co., Ltd. v. Maclay reported in 1918, L.R.B. page 331 that although the Board of Arbitration referred to in the Proclamation of the 3rd August, 1914, might have powers to assess the remuneration on a requisition basis it clearly has no power to assess the remuneration and compensation under the above scheme.\n\nEach of the owners has, in respect of his ship, made out a working account based on the previous working expenses of his ship, and each individual item, although approximate only, can be substantiated by the owners' books, which books the owners are prepared to produce for inspection to the Government at any time.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the second reading of the Bill intitued An Ordinance to restrict the taking of legal proceedings in respect of certain acts and matters done during the war and to provide in certain cases remedies in substitution therefor.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL: Sir, certain interested persons wish to be heard by counsel upon this Bill and I beg to move that they now be so heard.\n\nThe Hon.

Deacon, Looker, Deacon and Harston addressed the following letter to the Honourable Colonial Secretary:-\n\nSIR,-\n\nWe have the honour to address you with reference to the bringing under Government control of all steamers flying the British flag which have not yet been requisitioned for Imperial service, and are under whose ports of registry are either Hongkong or Shanghai.\n\nWe are instructed by the owners of the steamships Telemachus, Pheumpenh, Haimun, Brisbane, Wollowra, Manapouri, Castlefield and Patriot to represent their interests generally, and particularly as to the remuneration which the Government propose to pay under the above scheme.\n\nThe owners have now had the advantage of considering the information which was imparted by the Assistant Colonial Secretary at the Meeting at the Sanitary Board Office held on the 28th March last, when they were informed that the Government propose to pay the tramp Blue Book rates, as to one third thereof at an exchange of 2/- to the pound, and as to the balance at the rate of exchange of the day of payment, plus 2/8 per ton for Eastern service, and 5 per cent. on the net profits in consideration of the services of the owners in running the ships on behalf of the Government.\n\n(Sgd.) DEACON, LOOKER, DEACON, AND HARSTON.\n\n3. On the 19th day of April, 1918, our said Solicitors addressed the following letter to the Honourable Colonial Secretary:-\n\nSIR,-\n\nWe have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 15th instant, No. 13456, 1916.\n\nWe have placed the above letter before our clients who are the owners of the ships referred to in our letter of the 11th instant.\n\nOur clients much regret that His Excellency cannot see his way to increase the proposed remuneration, because, as you state, His Excellency is at present bound by instructions from home, but our clients note with pleasure that His Excellency is prepared to assist our clients in every possible way.\n\nOur clients are at present unaware what legislative authority the above scheme is being carried out, and would be grateful for some enlightenment on the subject.\n\n(Sgd.) DEACON, LOOKER, DEACON, AND HARSTON.\n\n5. The Ship Owners Protection Association of Hongkong which was and is an Association for the protection of our interests with reference to the aforesaid Government control scheme were never permitted to have a representative on the Shipping Control Committee nor were the individual shipowners represented on the Committee, whereas the Committee in question was substantially composed of representatives of Shipping Companies in direct opposition to us.\n\n6. The said Steamships were then and are now on the Hongkong or Shanghai registers. The position being as follows:-\n\nS.S. Telemachus Hongkong Register.\n\nS.S. Phempenh Shanghai Register.\n\nS.S. Haimun Hongkong Register.\n\nS.S. Brisbane Shanghai Register.\n\nS.S. Wollowra Shanghai Register.\n\nS.S. Lien Shing Hongkong Register.\n\nS.S. Manapouri Shanghai Register.\n\nS.S. Castlefield Shanghai Register.\n\n7. Thereafter the said Steamships were taken under the said control and the Hongkong Government received in respect of their earnings large sums of money which sums the Government still retain against the will and consent of your Petitioners.\n\n8. The said sums were not required in aid of or in connection with the defence of the Colony or of the Empire or used for the purposes of the prosecution of the war now happily ended.\n\n9. In the Financial Statement for the month of February, 1921, published in the Gazette of the 27th May, 1921, under the heading Liabilities is the item \"Shipping Control Account $2,231,204.11.\"\n\n10. The retention of the said sum by the Government is not warranted by any Act of Parliament, Ordinance, Order-in-Council, Royal Prerogative or other lawful authority.\n\n(Continued on page 5.)\n\nPage 173 appears three times at top, three times at bottom.\n\nPage 173\n\nPage 173\n\nPage 173\n\n173\n\n173\n\n173\n\nI made the following changes:\n1. Reorganised the text into proper paragraphs.\n2. Corrected minor spelling and punctuation errors.\n3. Standardised the formatting of the petition and the letters.\n4.

This Ordinance may be cited as the Indemnity Ordinance, 1921. \n\n2. In this Ordinance :— \n\nInterpretation. The Blue Book reports means the reports \n\n1.) “The Blue Book Reports\" means the reports to rates and conditions published in October, nineteen hundred and fourteen, by the sub-committee of the Board of Arbitration constituted under the proclamation issued by His Majesty on the third day of August, nineteen hundred and fourteen, subject to such increases or modifications thereof as may have been agreed to before the first day of January, nineteen hundred and twenty. \n\n(2.)

        "content_text": "226\n\nTEE\n\nThe owners instruct us they have also had a number of meetings amongst themselves, at which the Government's proposals have been most carefully considered and discussed.\n\nThe explanation is the fall in exchange, which affected the accounts in every department of the Government service. The estimates for 1921 were based on a rate of 3s. 4d., and the average for the year is 2s. 8d.\n\nI might mention that, against this sum of $1,001,262.12 is offset a considerably larger saving of some $2 million in the five main heads of expenditure which are not shown in this Bill.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL seconded, and the Bill was read a first time.\n\nTHE INDEMNITY BILL.\n\nPETITION PRESENTED BY LOCAL SHIPOWNERS.\n\nThe ATTORNEY GENERAL moved the second reading of the Bill intituled An Ordinance to restrict the taking of legal proceedings in respect of certain acts and matters done during the war and to provide in certain cases remedies in substitution therefor.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL: Sir, certain interested persons wish to be heard by counsel upon this Bill and I beg to move that they now be so heard.\n\nThe Hon. MR. PARR: I second that.\n\nThe resolution was carried.\n\nMr. C.-G. ALABASTER, O.B.E., barrister-at-law, then addressed the Council. He said: May it please Your Excellency, and honourable members of the Legislative Council, I propose, with your permission, to follow the practice that was adopted when counsel was heard on the Rents Bill and to read the petition which has been presented to-day, supplementing it, if necessary, by commenting on it as I read it.\n\nThe owners have come to the conclusion that the remuneration offered by the Government is not only wholly inadequate but must result in a heavy loss to the owners.\n\nEach of the owners has, in respect of his ship, made out a working account, based on the previous working expenses of his ship, and each individual item, although approximate only, can be substantiated by the owners' books, which books the owners are prepared to produce for inspection to the Government at any time.\n\nWe enclose herewith working accounts of the steamships Telemachus, Pheuni-penh, Haimun, Brisbane, Wollowra, Manapouri, Castlefield and Patriot.\n\nFrom a perusal of the working accounts, it will be seen that when the remuneration proposed to be paid by the Government is placed against the working expenses, the result is a very substantial monthly loss in each individual case.\n\nThe ATTORNEY-GENERAL: ...\n\n[Page break: Page 227]\n\n...\n\nShould the above scheme have been brought into operation under the powers referred to in (a) above it is obvious from the decision in The China Mutual Steam Navigation Co., Ltd. v. Maclay reported in 1918, L.R.B. page 331 that although the Board of Arbitration referred to in the Proclamation of the 3rd August, 1913, might have powers to assess the remuneration on a requisition basis it clearly has no power to assess the remuneration and compensation under the above scheme; consequently whether the above scheme has been brought into operation under the legislation referred to in (a) above or under other legislation not referred to in this letter or merely by mutual agreement between the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty and the owners, or failing such agreement, by the Award of a Board of Arbitration to be constituted and appointed for the purpose.\n\nBy a Proclamation in the London Gazette of the 3rd August, 1914, the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty by Warrant under the hand of their Secretary, or under the hand of any Flag Officer of His Majesty's Navy holding any appointment under the Admiralty, are entitled to requisition and take for service any British ship or British vessel as defined in the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, within the British Isles or the waters adjacent thereto, for such period or time as may be necessary, on condition that the owners of all ships and vessels so requisitioned shall receive pay for their use and for services rendered during their employment in the Government service and compensation for loss or damage thereby occasioned according to the terms to be arranged as soon as possible after the said ship has been taken up.\n\nBy an Order-in-Council dated the 28th of June, 1917, by way of amendment to the Regulations called \"the Defence of the Realm Regulations\" under the Defence of the Realm (Consolidation) Act 1914, it is provided by Regulation 39 that:\n\n1. The Shipping Controller may make orders regulating and giving directions in respect of the nature of the trades in which ships are to be employed, the traffic to be carried therein, and the terms and conditions on which the trade is to be carried, the ports at which cargo is to be loaded or discharged or passengers embark or disembark (including directions requiring ships to proceed to specified ports for the purpose of loading or unloading cargo or embarking or disembarking passengers) the ports at which consignees of cargo are to take delivery thereof, the rates (maxima or minima) to be charged for freight or hire of ships and the carriage of passengers, the form of bills of lading and passenger certificates, and other matters affecting shipping where it appears to the Controller necessary or expedient to make such order for the purpose of making shipping available to the needs of the country, in such manner as to make the best use thereof having regard to the circumstances of the time.\n\n2. Any Order made under this Regulation may contain such provisions as to inspection of books and documents or otherwise as may appear to the Controller necessary or expedient for the purpose of his duties.\n\nThe owners desire us to represent as strongly as possible to His Excellency the Governor that it is most inequitable that the shipping trade of this Colony should be selected as the only industry to be taxed.\n\nIt is well known and has often been pronounced by His Excellency the Governor that the shipping at Hongkong is the life blood of the Colony, that without shipping this Colony cannot exist.\n\nThe owners feel certain that His Excellency will appreciate the extraordinary competition which British shipping has to contend with in the Japanese Shipping, that unless sufficient inducements are shown to British shipping enterprise the same cannot be expected to flourish.\n\nThe owners consider that British shipping companies are building up enormous reserves and will, unless British Shipping is well fostered, become invincible competitors in the not distant future, especially in the Far East.\n\nThe enclosed letter received the consideration of the Committee of the Ship Owners Protection Association of Hongkong this morning who have instructed us to state that in view of your letter of the 24th April last No. 216 1918 they very substantially increase the remuneration now offered.\n\nThe owners, whilst being desirous of assisting the Government in every possible way at this serious juncture, consider that their present request is not only reasonable, but such as they are justified in putting forward and pressing under the present circumstances.\n\nOur clients desire to state that they do not consider that the present members of the Sub-Committee here of the S.B. London Shipping Controller are in a position to fully or adequately represent our clients' interest or that they should be called upon to do so.\n\nFurthermore, our clients feel that a local Board of Arbitration is essential as local conditions must be taken into consideration.\n\nOur clients desire us to state that it is not their desire or intention to oppose or hinder the Government in any way, but to secure for themselves a just and adequate remuneration, under the circumstances.\n\nFrom a perusal of the working accounts, the result appears to be as follows:-\n\nS.S. Telemachus a monthly loss of $3,211.65\n\nS.S. Pheumpenh $4,735.75\n\nS.S. Haimun $2,949.69\n\nS.S. Brisbane $997.00\n\nS.S. Wollowra $4,205.30\n\nS.S. Manapouri $948.00\n\nS.S. Castlefield $395.75\n\nS.S. Patriot a very substantial loss in view of the requisition of the S.S. Wollowra.\n\nUnless the Government are prepared to very substantially increase the remuneration, bankruptcy or liquidation is the inevitable outcome.\n\nOur clients desire to state that they do not consider that the present members of the Sub-Committee here of the S.B. London Shipping Controller are in a position to fully or adequately represent our clients' interest or that they should be called upon to do so.\n\nCounsel then read the salient paragraphs of the following petition:\n\nTo the Hon. Mr. CLAUD SEVERN, LL.D.,\n\nThe Officer Administering the Government of the Colony of Hongkong for the time being and to the Members of the Legislative Council of the Colony of Hongkong.\n\nThe humble Petition of:-\n\nThe owners of the steamships Telemachus, Pheumpenh, Haimun, Brisbane, Wollowra, Manapouri, Castlefield and Patriot.\n\nSheweth as follows.\n\n1. On or about the month of March, 1918, the Government of Hongkong notified your Petitioners of their decision to bring the said steamships under Hongkong Government control.\n\n2. On the 11th day of April, 1918, our Solicitors Messrs. Deacon, Looker, Deacon and Harston addressed the following letter to the Honourable Colonial Secretary:-\n\n[Letter dated 11th April 1918]\n\nRe Hongkong Shipping Control Scheme.\n\nWe have the honour to address you with reference to the bringing under Government control of all steamers flying the British flag which have not yet been requisitioned for Imperial service, and whose ports of registry are either Hongkong or Shanghai.\n\nWe are instructed by the owners of the steamships Telemachus, Pheumpenh, Haimun, Brisbane, Wollowra, Manapouri, Castlefield and Patriot to represent their interests generally, and particularly as to the remuneration which the Government propose to pay under the above scheme.\n\nThe owners have now had the advantage of considering the information which was imparted by the Assistant Colonial Secretary at the Meeting at the Sanitary Board Office held on the 28th March last, when they were informed that the Government propose to pay the tramp Blue Book rates, as to one third thereof at an exchange of 2/- to the pound, and as to the balance at the rate of exchange of the day of payment, plus 2/8 per ton for Eastern service, and 5 per cent. on the net profits in consideration of the services of the owners in running the ships on behalf of the Government.\n\nAs far as we ourselves are aware, there are only two legislative authorities under which such a scheme could possibly be brought into operation, and a Proclamation published in the Hongkong Government Gazette on the 5th August, 1914, bringing into operation the Order-in-Council of the 26th October, 1896, it is provided-\n\n6. The Governor may require any person to supply any animals, vehicles, ships, boats, or other personal property belonging to or under the control of such person to the Government, if such property be required in aid of or in connection with the defence of the Colony, and, in default of the person supplying the same, may seize and take possession of and retain such animals, vehicles, boats or other personal property for such purposes.\n\n12. The Governor shall, out of the public funds of the Colony, pay to every person who shall be required to do any personal service by virtue of this Order such remuneration and to every person whose property shall be taken or temporarily taken possession of or removed or destroyed by virtue of this Order such compensation as shall be agreed on between the Governor and such person, and in default of agreement, such remuneration or compensation as shall be awarded by the Board hereinafter mentioned whose award shall be final.\n\n13. For the purpose of determining the amount of any remuneration or compensation payable under this Order, the Governor shall appoint a Board consisting of five persons, of whom one shall be a Judge or Stipendiary Magistrate, two shall be officers either in the Civil Government of the Colony or in His Majesty's naval or military service and the other two shall be inhabitants of the Colony.\n\n[Page break: Page 228]\n\n...\n\nThe PRESIDENT: I think, perhaps, as a printed copy of the petition is in the hands of hon. members it will be unnecessary to read every word.\n\nMr. ALABASTER: That will perhaps shorten it, but my instructions are to read it.\n\nPETITION.\n\nThe humble Petition of:-\n\nMessrs. The Douglas Steamship Co., Ltd.,\n\nMessrs. Moller & Co. (Shanghai), Ltd.,\n\nMessrs. Carmichael and Clarke of Hongkong, representing the owners of the steamship Brisbane.\n\nThe Luen Hing Steamship Co., Ltd., of Hongkong, the owners of the steamship Pheumpenh.\n\nThe Lai Hing Steamship Co., Ltd., of Hongkong, the owners of the steamship Telemachus.\n\nThe Po Shun Steamship Co., Ltd., of Hongkong, the owners of the steamship Haimun.\n\nThe Wollowra Steamship Co., Ltd., of Shanghai, the owners of the steamship Wollowra.\n\nMan Cheun of Hongkong, the owners of the steamship Lien Shing.\n\nSheweth as follows.\n\n1. On or about the month of March, 1918, the Government of Hongkong notified your Petitioners of their decision to bring the said steamships under Hongkong Government control.\n\n2. On the 11th day of April, 1918, our Solicitors Messrs. Deacon, Looker, Deacon and Harston addressed the following letter to the Honourable Colonial Secretary:-\n\n[Letter dated 11th April 1918]\n\nSIR,-\n\nRe The Hongkong Shipping Control Scheme.\n\nWe have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 15th instant, No. 13456/1916.\n\nOur clients much regret that His Excellency cannot see his way to increase the proposed remuneration, because, as you state, His Excellency is at present bound by instructions from home, but our clients note with pleasure that His Excellency is prepared to assist our clients in every possible way.\n\nOur clients are at present unaware what legislative authority the above scheme is being carried out, and would be grateful for some enlightenment on the subject.\n\nAs far as we ourselves are aware, there are only two legislative authorities under which such a scheme could possibly be brought into operation, and they are as follows:-\n\n(a) By a Proclamation published in the Hongkong Government Gazette on the 5th August, 1914, bringing into operation the Order-in-Council of the 26th October, 1896, it is provided-\n\n6. The Governor may require any person to supply any animals, vehicles, ships, boats, or other personal property belonging to or under the control of such person to the Government, if such property be required in aid of or in connection with the defence of the Colony, and, in default of the person supplying the same, may seize and take possession of and retain such animals, vehicles, boats or other personal property for such purposes.\n\n12. The Governor shall, out of the public funds of the Colony, pay to every person who shall be required to do any personal service by virtue of this Order such remuneration and to every person whose property shall be taken or temporarily taken possession of or removed or destroyed by virtue of this Order such compensation as shall be agreed on between the Governor and such person, and in default of agreement, such remuneration or compensation as shall be awarded by the Board hereinafter mentioned whose award shall be final.\n\n13. For the purpose of determining the amount of any remuneration or compensation payable under this Order, the Governor shall appoint a Board consisting of five persons, of whom one shall be a Judge or Stipendiary Magistrate, two shall be officers either in the Civil Government of the Colony or in His Majesty's naval or military service and the other two shall be inhabitants of the Colony.\n\n...\n\n[Page break: Page b]\n\n5. The Ship Owners Protection Association of Hongkong which was and is an Association for the protection of our interests with reference to the aforesaid Government control scheme were never permitted to have a representative on the Shipping Control Committee nor were we the individual shipowners represented whereas the Committee in question was substantially composed of representatives of Shipping Companies in direct opposition to us.\n\n6. The said Steamships were then and are now on the Hongkong or Shanghai registers. The position being as follows:\n\nS.S. Telemachus Hongkong Register.\n\nS.S. Phoumpenh\n\nS.S. Haimun\n\nS.S. Brisbane\n\nS.S. Wollowra\n\nS.S. Lienshing\n\nS.S. Manapouri Shanghai Register.\n\nS.S. Castlefield\n\n7. Thereafter the said Steamships were taken under the said control and the Hongkong Government received in respect of their earnings large sums of money which sums the Government still retain against the will and consent of your Petitioners.\n\n8. The said sums were not required in aid of or in connection with the defence of the Colony or of the Empire or used for the purposes of the prosecution of the war now happily ended.\n\n9. In the Financial Statement for the Hongkong Government Gazette of the 5th month of February, 1921, published in the Gazette of the 27th May, 1921, under \"Liabilities is the item \"Shipping Control Account $2,231,204.11.\"\n\n10. The retention of the said sum by the Government is not warranted by any Act of Parliament, Ordinance, Order-in-Council, Royal Prerogative or other law or authority.\n\nThe PRESIDENT: ...\n\nHONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12th, 1921.",

Their steamers were commandeered for war and used to trade for profit. The firm was ruined. It lost a quarter of a million. Its employees were turned on the street. It took action for damages. The Hong Kong Government asked it to stay its hand and then passed an act making damages unavailable. It may be Hong Kong Justice; it is not British Justice. Your Grace sees fair play.

I attach also a copy of a letter addressed by Mr. Fletcher, under date the 6th September, to the North China Daily News at Shanghai. I considered it necessary to take this unusual step because of the great harm which was undoubtedly being done to British prestige by the wide publicity which was being given throughout the Press of the Far East to the slanderous attacks made by Mr. Moller and Mr. Burkill upon the Hongkong Government.\n\nIt will be observed that not only is the allegation that this Government obtained a delay of legal proceedings by a suggestion that a compromise might be arranged wholly untrue but that Mr. Moller was fully aware of that fact when he made the statement.\n\n2. It may be explained that according to the information possessed by this Government Mr. Moller was before the war a ship-broker working with Japanese, a man of none too good reputation, living largely from hand to mouth.

Moller and Company (Hongkong) Ltd. His method of dividing potential liabilities among a number of one ship limited liability companies had obvious advantages from his point of view, as his creditors discovered later.\n\n5.\n\nAt the end of the war Mr. Moller was possessed of very considerable means, but his subsequent management of his affairs was not successful. Creditors began to ask questions and Mr. Moller, who to all appearances was still a rich man, looked round for a scape-goat and chose the Hongkong Government, which might be trusted not to have recourse to the inconvenient retort of a libel action, and even, if Mr. Moller's luck held, might not retort at all. The case made out against the Hongkong Government was sufficiently plausible to gain wide acceptance, more especially as it had the support of Mr. Burkill,\n\n6.\n\nMr. Burkill is a man of quite different type, and is generally well spoken of in Shanghai where he has a considerable import and export business.

        "content_text": "66\n\nDuring the whole period that this matter has been under consideration the Government, before taking each step, has sought the advice of the Vital Requirements Committee and Sub-Committee, consisting of Mr. Edkins, Mr. Anton and subsequently Mr. Landale, Mr. Shewan, Mr. Dodwell, Mr. Lau Chu-pak, Mr. Young, and Mr. Sutherland. Mr. Fletcher has represented the Government on this Committee.\n\n15. The Hongkong Control Scheme came into operation on the 15th April, 1918. A number of tramps, whose movements were being directed by the opportunities for profit-making arising from the requisitioning of competing ships, were now made directly available for war purposes, to release and take the place of more sea-worthy vessels. It was possible at last to use all British tonnage in the Far East in the most economical way to meet pressing needs.\n\n16. An account of some of the uses to which certain of the vessels were put may be of interest. The S.S. Wollowra had been carrying coal for the account of the Hongkong Government since December, 1917, and later the S.S. Telemachus, Rotorua, Ching Chow, and Patriot were used from time to time for a similar purpose. The first trip of the S.S. Patriot was for the account of the Naval Yard. The Government was thereby enabled to supply coal and coke to the Naval authorities whose requirements were considerable, and also to the Military Authorities and to various industries such as the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company, Hongkong Steel Foundry, Hong-kong, Canton, and Macao Steamboat Company, and the Hongkong Electric Company. It also supplied at a cheap rate 1,200 tons monthly to the Chinese Section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway, without which that Section would have been unable to continue its service.\n\nWhen, in the spring of 1918, arrangements were unexpectedly made by the Imperial Government to divert Dutch tonnage, and the trade in raw sugar between Java and Hongkong was in consequence completely dislocated, the S.S. Wollowra was despatched to Java and brought up a full cargo of sugar. The Government was also able to arrange for the Russian S.S. Vitim, not under its control, to bring sugar.\n\nThe Government of the Straits Settlements had in the meantime represented to the Hongkong Government the need for an increased output of tin for war purposes and had requested assistance in carrying Chinese labour to that Colony. It was possible to make arrangements to send coolies from Hongkong, but Singapore had quarantined the Colony on account of cerebro-spinal meningitis, and was unable to entertain a representation that the disease was understood to be quite as prevalent in Amoy and Swatow as it was in Hongkong. Consequently the S.S. Wollowra was placed on the Amoy, Singapore, Rangoon run, for the particular purpose of carrying coolies to Singapore, and also to carry on the normal trade with Rangoon.\n\nThe S.S. Haimun was taken up to carry coal for Admiralty account, but, as she was found to be unsuitable, she was despatched in June, 1918, to Amoy to carry coolies to Singapore. She remained on this run, and in August she was put on the trip Singapore, Hongkong, Amoy, Singapore, the reason being that the Green Island Cement Company required tonnage to carry cement for Government works at Penang, while the Government of the Straits Settlements required coolies, but would not allow them to come from Hongkong. Consequently the S.S. Haimun carried the cement from Amoy; the ship was diverted for a trip to Java to fetch sugar.\n\nThe S.S. Telemachus was taken off a charter bringing in Straits $115,000 a month in order to carry coal for specified Hongkong industries. This coal came from the Kailan Mining Administration on whose behalf Colonel Thomson and the Admiralty had invoked the assistance of the Hongkong Government. The S.S. Patriot also carried the Kailan Administration coal. In November, 1918, she was detailed to bring rice from Saigon.\n\nIt was at the same time considered to be essential, in the interests of British trade and prestige, to keep as many as possible of the Hongkong controlled vessels on the regular coast runs, and in this connection the Government kept in view certain representations which had been made by His Majesty's Ministers at Peking and Bangkok, and also representations made by the Governor-General of Indo-China regarding the Saigon rice trade. The Douglas Company's ships, Haitan and Hai Hong, served the customary Coast ports throughout the requisition period, with the exception that the S.S. Hai Hong was lent to the Naval Authorities for one voyage to carry reinforcements from the Manchester Regiment to Vladivostock. The steamers Castlefield, Manapouri, and Brisbane continued on their original charters within the usual coast trade limits, and such other vessels as could from time to time be spared were made available for the miscellaneous requirements of the Coast which were normally served by a much larger number of ships. The S.S. Upolu continued to carry coal for the Kailan Mining Administration. Every run was most carefully watched; sub-chartering was not permitted, and charters, while binding the charterer for a fixed period, reserved to the Hongkong Government the right to terminate the contract at a month's notice.\n\n17. Although the Hongkong Control Scheme was proving of immense benefit to the Colony, the tonnage was not nearly sufficient to meet requirements, and every endeavour was made to supplement it. The S.S. Glenfalloch, of Singapore Registry, was lying at the Taikoo Dockyard awaiting repairs, which the owners were unwilling to carry out, and the Hongkong Government asked permission of the Straits Settlements Government to repair the vessel and run her under the Hongkong Scheme, but that Government was unable to accept the proposal. The Government of the Straits Settlements were further approached, but without success, for permission for the S.S. Hock Lee and Will o' the Wisp to be run under the Hongkong Scheme. These vessels had been purchased by Hongkong owners but had remained on the Singapore Register. Colonel Thomson arranged for the placing of the S.S. Kolya at the disposal of the Hongkong Government for the purpose of carrying coal for the Naval Yard, but at the last moment the vessel could not be made available. Negotiations were entered into regarding the S.S. Sui Kai under the Chinese flag, which had for a long time been lying idle in the harbour owing to a complicated law-suit. An offer was made to repair and run the ship for the account of whoever might be concerned, but the vessel was so fast entangled in the meshes of the law that it was impossible to extricate her. An attempt was made to arrange for the salving at the expense of the Hongkong Government of a steamer which had been stranded on the Siberian coast, but the project was found to be impracticable. In August, 1918, three small and old British vessels, the Amherst, Cornelia, and Huk Canton, of 211, 214, and 288 tons register respectively, were requisitioned by the Naval Authorities and were placed under the orders of the Shipping Control Committee.\n\n18. The relations between the Hongkong Government and the Shipowners were throughout of a most cordial nature. All owners co-operated in a most patriotic manner and did their utmost to make the Control Scheme work smoothly and successfully. A Shipowners Protection Association was formed under the Chairmanship of Mr. S. T. Williamson, of Messrs. Moller and Company, and his services, placed freely at the disposal of the Government, were of the greatest assistance. There was one request pressed by the Association to which the Government could not see its way to accede. The Association wished to be represented upon the Shipping Control Committee, and this was refused, for the reason that the Committee had been chosen, as an independent body having no connection with the requisitioned ships, to advise the Government on technical matters connected with the ships. Mr. Sutherland and Mr. Young sat as representatives of Colonel Thomson, Agent to the Shipping Controller, who was in constant communication with the Colony with regard to controlled ships. The Committee worked in close and constant touch with the Vital Requirements Committee, which advised as to the employment of the ships for the needs of the Colony, and Mr. H. P. White, representing the controlled vessels of the Douglas Steamship Company, took his seat upon the latter body.\n\n19. The question of the remuneration to be paid to owners was one of considerable difficulty. The Shipping Controller's instructions were that the remuneration was not to be appreciably higher or lower than that of competing vessels, the vessels most directly concerned being those of the Indo-China and China Navigation fleets. The Hongkong Government urged the Shipping Controller in London that in view of the increase in prices and the rise in exchange the remuneration should be payable at exchange half 19 and ball rate of day. This was refused, it being again pointed out that the payments to owners under the local scheme must not be more favourable than payments to owners under the Imperial scheme. Further representations were made in the following terms: – it must be remembered that the vessels brought under local requisition are mostly old and in more or less bad condition, having been discarded, at periods more or less remote, from the regular lines; with the result that the cost of repair and upkeep is proportionately heavier than in the case of vessels, such as those of the Indo-China and China Navigation Companies, on the regular lines. I was aware, when I sent my telegram of the 9th March, that expenses connected with repairing and running were on owners' risk, if the owners were prepared to run the vessels; and, in order to offer the owners a sufficient inducement to do so, I accepted the advice of the Control Committee to grant the terms stated in the telegram which I addressed to you on the 17th.\n\n67\n\n296\n\n1\n\ni\n\n1",

        "content_text": "70\n\nHarbour Master, who, as Government Coaling Officer, was responsible for the very satisfactory arrangements in connection with the large quantity of coal handled.\n\n26. Under date the 28th December, 1920, a circular despatch was issued from the Colonial Office to the Colonies regarding the recently passed Imperial Indemnity Act. It was provided in the Act that His Majesty in Council might apply its provisions to any of the Crown Colonies, but the Secretary of State pointed out that in the course of its passage through the House of Commons the Bill was so developed that in its final form it was closely bound up with conditions and transactions in the United Kingdom. It appeared to him that it was inexpedient to issue any Orders in Council under the Act, and the Colonies were invited to consider the alternative of local legislation. An Indemnity Bill was accordingly introduced in the Council on the 1st September, 1921. It was opposed by the owners, who were represented by counsel, and it was then decided not to proceed further with the matter until the return from leave of Mr. Fletcher who had conducted all negotiations with the owners on behalf of the Government.\n\n27. Mr. Fletcher came back to the Colony at the end of the year 1921, and, after further conversations with the owners, a proposal that half the money held by the Hongkong Government should be returned to them was put before the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council. The owners were warned that in any event it was improbable that the Imperial Government would be able to accept the proposal; but the Unofficial Members rejected it, on the ground that, all British ships having been treated alike, it would be unfair to discriminate in favour of the ships which had been controlled in Hongkong. This matter was referred to at a discussion at the Colonial Office on the 9th November, 1922, at which Mr. Burrows, a solicitor representing the owners, and Mr. C. R. Burkill, representing the S.S. Patriot and having an interest in the S.S. Wollowra, were present. The following note was taken:\n\nReference was made to negotiations with Mr. Fletcher and to an offer of division of profits on a 50/50 basis said to have been made by the Government of Hongkong but turned down by the Unofficials. Sir G. Grindle said that any offer on the lines referred to above, even if it had been decided upon by the Colonial Government, would undoubtedly have failed to secure the Secretary of State's sanction.\n\n28. The Hongkong Government had now no alternative but to pass the Indemnity Bill, which accordingly became law by a unanimous vote of the Legislative Council on the 18th August, 1922. The Hongkong Government's responsibility in the matter was clearly defined at the interview at the Colonial Office referred to in the last paragraph, the note of which reads as follows:\n\n\"Sir G. Grindle said that before the discussion went further it would in his opinion be useful if he were to state the general position of the Imperial Government in the matter. He stated that it had been necessary for war reasons for the Government of Hongkong to take the action which was taken as to requisitioning of ships. The Secretary of State's attitude as to this action was that either it was legal or if it were not—and for the sake of argument he was prepared to admit that it was hopelessly illegal—it must be made legal. The Indemnity Ordinance was not a device of the Hongkong Government to meet their own special difficulties, but was passed on the instructions of His Majesty's Government, as similar Ordinances were passed in Colonies similarly situated, and was intended to carry out the deliberate intention and decision of His Majesty's Government that shipowners in Hongkong and elsewhere in the Colonies must not be placed in any way in a more favourable position than shipowners in this country. It had been suggested that the action of the Hongkong Government imposed a special tax on shipowners. Sir G. Grindle was prepared to admit this, but he pointed out that this was a disability shared in war-time by Hongkong with home shipowners, and that it could not be avoided. He observed that it was only for technical reasons, not specially affecting Hongkong, that it had been decided not to apply the Imperial Indemnity Act to the Colonies, and that as a matter of fact such a course had been very seriously considered. The Hongkong Ordinance was a piece of Imperial policy which no Secretary of State was likely to reverse, and it was inconceivable that it should be disallowed\".\n\n71\n\n29. On the 28th March, 1923, the following letter was addressed to the owners' solicitors:\n\n\"With reference to my letter of the 19th of September, 1922, I am directed to state that a reply has now been received from the Secretary of State for the Colonies who requests that you should be informed that he regrets that he has not seen his way to recommend to His Majesty the King that the Indemnity Ordinance (No. 18 of 1922), in so far as it concerns the shipping control of Hongkong, should not receive the Royal Assent.\n\nI am also to state that His Grace the Duke of Devonshire has requested His Excellency the Governor to consider and report on any representations which you may wish to make with a view to showing that local shipowners have received less favourable treatment than under the Imperial Scheme. His Grace further desires that you should be warned that any concession which the Hongkong Government might wish to suggest would require his sanction after consultation with other departments of His Majesty's Government interested in the matter.\"\n\nNo reply has been received to that letter, and there the matter now stands.\n\n30. Various statements have been made, in petitions presented to the Legislative Council and elsewhere, regarding alleged losses sustained by owners owing to the Hongkong Government's Control. The following correspondence bears upon the point:\n\nMessrs. Deacon, Looker, Deacon, & Harston to Colonial Secretary, 11th April, 1918.\n\n\"We enclose herewith working accounts of the steamships Telemachus, Phoumpenk, Haimun, Brisbane, Wollowra, Castlefield, and Patriot. From a perusal of such working accounts it will be seen that, when the remuneration proposed to be paid by the Government is placed against the working expenses, the result is a very substantial loss in each case.\"\n\nColonial Secretary to Messrs. Deacon, Looker, Deacon, & Harston, 15th April, 1918.\n\n\"I may state, however, that this Government is unable to accept the figures which you have put before it. In the case of the S.S. Telemachus for instance the owner's commission is reckoned upon the sum of $45,907; whereas it would in fact, under the calculation given, be payable on a sum of $58,800. Depreciation is allowed for upon a value of $600,000, or roughly £90,000; whereas, apart altogether from the question whether or no depreciation is a proper charge, it is customary to take the value, for purposes of depreciation, as the purchase price plus renewals less the amount already written off. Without going further into detail, it may be stated generally that the accounts, as presented by you, are not drawn up in accordance with the customary practice of shipping companies.\n\nThis Government will, however, closely watch the working of the requisition scheme, and I am to assure you that the interests of the owners will receive its sympathetic consideration.\"\n\nWith regard to the value of $600,000 placed upon the S.S. Telemachus, at the time when she was about to come under control, it may be mentioned that in 1916, when large profits were being made and there was no control, the value of the ship was given for probate purposes in the sum of $185,000. The sterling equivalents on the pertinent dates were approximately £92,500 and £19,000.\n\n31. On the 7th June, 1923, at a meeting of the shareholders of Messrs. Moller & Co. (Shanghai), Ltd., held at Shanghai, Mr. E. Moller referred to the Hongkong Government's \"unjustifiable scheme, which in its pitilessness and relentlessness is quite unparalleled—a scheme which has had the effect of driving into liquidation a modest Shanghai Shipping Company which has had its Red Anchor flag flying over these Chinese waters for over half a century.\" Mr. Moller did not make it clear to what company he referred; it was not Messrs. Moller & Co. (Shanghai), Ltd., as that company was incorporated in 1918. Lloyd's Register of Shipping for the year immediately before the outbreak of war does not include Messrs. Moller in the list of shipowners, and it appears from subsequent editions of the Register that the ships which were named by Mr. Moller to his shareholders were acquired at various dates after war began.\n\n298",

        "content_text": "72\n\nIn particular connection with the Hongkong Control Scheme Mr. Moller mentioned three vessels only, the S.S. Manapouri, Castlefield, and Wollowra, and he stated that the audited figures covering the running of the steamers under control in most cases showed a severe loss.' The Government has received statements of alleged losses in respect of six of the seventeen steamers controlled.\n\n31. Mr. Moller's remarks were generally supported by Mr. C. R. Burkill, who said that he could confirm them from personal experience.\n\n32. The Government has not accepted the audited figures, referred to by Mr. Moller, and it is its experience that expert opinion of the value of the subject matter of a claim varies very considerably according as the claim is made by or against the Government. The following figures may be quoted in this connection. The audited accounts in respect of two vessels gave $10,188 and $36,320 as actual losses sustained, exclusive of interest, over the period 16th April, 1918, to 31st January, 1919. These vessels were owned by two one-ship Companies whose balance sheets in respect of the year 1st February, 1918, to 31st January, 1919, show; in the one case profit for the year $81,045, remuneration to Directors and Auditor $38,424, and dividend of $378 per $50 share and in the other case profit for the year $214,265, remuneration to Directors and Auditor $21,446, and dividend of $100.50 per $50 share, the capital being $40,000 and the steamer being written down to $20,000 in each case.\n\nWith regard to Mr. Moller's ships, his audited accounts, which have not been accepted by the Government, show loss sustained by owner exclusive of interest, $42,350 in respect of the Manapouri, and $19,134 in respect of the Castlefield. Mr. Moller has not made any claim for loss in respect of the Wollowra. The total of the two claims is $61,193, against which there is a debt due by Mr. Moller to the Hongkong Government in the sum of $44,512, exclusive of interest. Almost the whole of this debt is due, not in respect of Mr. Moller's ships, but in respect of a sum paid in error by the Government to Messrs. Moller (Hongkong) Ltd. on account of cargo carried in the S.S. Patriot,\n\nAs regards the Castlefield, Messrs. Moller & Co. with the approval of the Shipping Control Committee let the ship on a most advantageous charter for twelve calendar months from December, 1918. The charterer failed to take the vessel up, the Attorney General of Hongkong joined with the Castlefield Steamship Company as plaintiffs in an action against the charterer, judgment was obtained in a very large sum, and it is understood that the matter was finally settled on payment of between $300,000 and $400,000. The Hongkong Government made no claim in respect of the sum which would have been due to it up to the end of January, when its control terminated, but it did rely upon Mr. Moller's debt being paid out of that money. Even if Mr. Moller had discharged this debt, he would still have had a most substantial sum in hand.\n\nThe Government is unaware of the subsequent history of Mr. Moller's three ships; except that it is informed, though it cannot vouch for the fact, that the S.S. Wollowra was sold for a much larger sum than the original purchase price; but it is unable to find any evidence in support of the allegation that the winding up of Messrs. Moller & Co. (Shanghai) Limited is in any way due to the Hongkong Control Scheme.\n\nThe S.S. Patriot was owned by Messrs. A. R. Burkill & Sons, and at the time when she came under the Hongkong Control Scheme she was on time charter for a period of five years ending in 1921, at a rate of $12,000 a month. With regard to this Messrs. Burkill's agents wrote to the Shipowners' Protection Association under date the 11th April, 1918-\n\nS.S. Patriot. Owing to the above vessel coming under Government Control on or about the 15th April, 1918, according to the proposed control rates the steamer will be earning $15,010 per month, which in this particular case is an improvement in the earning capacity of the steamer; and on this very same date, the 11th April, Messrs. Burkill's solicitors wrote to the Colonial Secretary stating:-\n\n\"We enclose herewith working accounts of the S.S. Telemachus, Pheumpenh, Haimun, Brisbane, Wollowra, Manapouri, Castlefield, and Patriot. From a perusal of such working accounts it will be seen that, when the remuneration proposed to be paid by the Government is placed against the working expenses, the result is a very substantial monthly loss. Unless the Government are prepared to very substantially increase the remuneration bankruptcy or liquidation will be the inevitable outcome\n\n73\n\nThe Government has not received the S.S. Patriot's audited figures, but, whatever results these show, Mr. C. R. Burkill has at least the consolation that his firm received considerably more remuneration in respect of this ship when under Government Control than it had been receiving under the charter arranged by his firm. Messrs. A. R. Burkill and Sons have not presented any claim for losses incurred by the S.S. Patriot or Wollowra.\n\nThe Douglas Steamship Company's accounts show that that Company was able to pay a dividend of 12% and a bonus of 10% in respect of the year ending the 30th June, 1918, and a dividend of 12% and a bonus of 6% in respect of the following year, with due provision for depreciation, reserve, and underwriting in addition.\n\nOn the other hand, there may be quoted the case of one vessel which was so crank that crews were reluctant to go to sea in her, and it was unlikely that her insurance would be renewed. New decks were required to obviate claims on account of sea water spoiling the cargo, and on every trip ballast had to be purchased, as the ship when light was liable to capsize, while the ballast had to be taken out to make room for cargo. In this case, a considerable sum due to the Government was remitted ex gratia. Other instances special circumstances led to a remission of certain payments due.\n\nThe Hongkong Government has throughout maintained the position that the majority of its controlled vessels were old and out-of-date, with excessive coal consumption and heavy repair bills, and that therefore the owners, being remunerated at the same rate as competitors operating more modern and up-to-date ships, were in this respect at a decided disadvantage; although the owners of Hongkong controlled vessels did not pay income tax or excess profits duty. The Hongkong Government cannot however agree that the owners lost money, and it suggests that, in the minds of some owners at least, there has been a confusion of thought between losses supposedly incurred and profits anticipated from war conditions which were not received.\n\n33. In a letter addressed to the North China Daily News, under date the 21st June, 1923, Mr. Burkill wrote:-\n\n\"The most amusing feature of this is that while the Hongkong Government were apparently carrying such war risk, they kept the secret so well that shipowners were not informed that war risk was covered, and I defy any Government servant in Hongkong to produce any document showing that the owners of the S.S. Wollowra were notified that the boat was covered for a specified sum under a Government war risk policy or any other war risk policy.\"\n\nMr. Burkill had previously said that we received no Government policy for war risk, and insuring this risk was no small cost even though our boats were not in the danger zone.\n\n13\n\nThe S.S. Wollowra was requisitioned on the 30th November, 1917, under Admiralty Charter Party T. 99, in which it was stated that the Government assumed liability for war risk.\n\nIn a circular letter, addressed under date the 13th March, 1918, to owners or agents of all the steamers, including the S.S. Wollowra, it was stated:-\n\n\"The Government will accept all war risks (vide clause 19 of Charter Party T. 99) but, where it has been your practice to incur this expense in the past, you are authorised, for the present, to continue this expenditure on Government account\".\n\nAs in his letter to the North China Daily News Mr. Burkill quoted this circular letter, he had presumably read it.\n\nOn the 18th May, 1918, Messrs. Moller & Company, representing the Wollowra's owners, wrote:-\n\n85\n\nre S.S. Manapouri, Castlefield, Wollowra. The parties concerned are anxious to know if in case of any of these vessels are lost through submarine or war-like cause whilst under Government requisition or Control, whether they will be fully covered by the Government for the full value of the steamer\".\n\nThe Government in reply quoted from Charter Party T. 99 the Government's undertaking to accept all war risks.\n\n299",

        "content_text": "74\n\nOn the 18th July, 1918, the Shipowners Protection Association, of which Messrs. A. R. Burkill & Sons were members, put the following questions:--\n\n1. \"In the event of a vessel being damaged or lost through any act of war on part of an enemy raider, what compensation or redress would an owner be liable to receive from the Government?\n\n2. \"Does war risk insurance as covered by the Government include loss or damage to a vessel occasioned by an enemy raider and would owners receive the full insurance?\n\nOn the 23rd July, the Government replied:-\n\n\"Referring to your letter of the 18th July, I am directed to invite your attention to Sections 11 and 12 of my circular letter of the 13th March, which read as follows:\n\n11. The Government will accept all war risks (vide Clause 19 of Charter Party T. 99) but, where it has been your practice to incur this expense in the past, you are authorised, for the present, to continue the expenditure on Government account, whether in the form of premium or call in respect of Policies on hull and machinery, including the continuance of any excess value insurance hitherto maintained by you, on the understanding that you will hold the Government absolved from liability in respect of the amount for which insurance was effected under insurance policies; but when any policy on a vessel lapses it should not be renewed.\n\n12. If the war risk insurance above authorised is vitiated by your obedience to Admiralty instructions, other than those of local navigation, or by your obedience to instructions of the Control Committee, the Government will indemnify you against the consequences.\n\nClause 19 of Admiralty Charter Party T. 99, which is referred to above, reads as follows:-\n\n19. The risks of war which are taken by the Admiralty are those risks which would be excluded from an ordinary English policy of marine insurance by the following, or similar, but not more extensive clause:—\n\nWarranted free of capture, seizure, and detention and the consequences thereof, or of any attempt thereat, piracy excepted, and also from all consequences of hostilities or warlike operations, whether before or after declaration of war.\n\nSuch risks are taken by the Admiralty on the ascertained value of the steamer, if she be totally lost, at the time of such loss, or, if she be injured on the ascertained value of such injury.\n\nShould a dispute arise as to the value of the steamer the same shall be settled as laid down in clause 31.\n\nThis reply relates of course only to ships under Government requisition under the scheme laid down in the above circular letter.\"\n\nAs the owners knew exactly their rights and the Government's liabilities in respect of war risk; namely that their ships were fully covered in a value which would be settled by agreement, or, failing agreement, by arbitration, and on appeal by the Courts; it did not occur to the Government to notify them individually as to the precise manner in which the risk was being carried. Detailed information was open to any one who might enquire. A similar practice obtained in respect of vessels under Imperial requisition.\n\nThe Government received no claims for a refund in respect of war risk expenditure incurred by owners, nor did any owner state that he was insuring against war risk.\n\n34. Mr. Burkill wrote also:-\n\n\"Further as the Honourable Mr. A. G. M. Fletcher is still trailing the red herring re Imperial Government and the Naval Commodore, etc., being responsible--may I remind him that this also was a Government secret, and if he will look up a certain notice of Requisition and Control dated 13th March, 1918, and headed \"Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong\" he will see that it was signed by the Honourable Claud Severn and stated that the Governor of Hongkong, etc., etc.\n\nUnder this document how does he make out that the actual requisition was carried out by the Commodore?\"\n\nOn the 10th December, 1917, the Solicitors for the Wollowra Steamship Company, in which Mr. Burkill was interested, wrote to the Commodore :-\n\n\"S.S. Wollowra. The above ship has been requisitioned by the Admiralty\"\n\nand they proceeded to ask for certain information.\n\nMessrs. Burkill's steamer Patriot was requisitioned under the following letter addressed separately to each owner:-\n\n\"H. M. DOCKYARD.\n\nWith reference to the letter of the Colonial Secretary dated 13th March, 1918, I am directed by the Commodore to inform you that your vessel is requisitioned and will be brought under the Hongkong Liner Requisition Scheme.\"\n\nOn the 19th April, 1918, Solicitors, definitely stating that they represented the owners of the S.S. Manapouri, Castlefield, Wollowra, and Patriot, wrote:-\n\nHongkong Shipping Control Scheme. Our clients are at present unaware under what legislative authority the above Scheme is being carried out and would be grateful for some enlightenment on the subject.\"\n\nThe Government replied;\n\n4\n\nAs to the question of legal authority, the ships have been requisitioned on behalf of, and under instructions from, His Majesty's Government, who have instructed this Government to superintend their management. In these circumstances this Government must refer you to His Majesty's Government on the point of the legal authority for the requisitioning. This Government has definite instructions that the remuneration to vessels under the local scheme is to approximate to that paid to the larger and more important class of vessels on the China Coast which are under the Imperial Liner Requisition Scheme.\"\n\n35. At the meeting in Shanghai, which has been referred to, Mr. Moller said :\n\n\"In December, 1919, a test case was instituted against the Government in the Hongkong Courts.\n\nImmediately upon legal action being taken the Colonial Secretary approached the owners through the Shipowners Protection Association with a view and a request to stay such legal proceedings for such period as would give him time to communicate with the Home Government with a view to settling the matter amicably, pointing out that it was inadvisable to continue expensive litigation when it was possible to settle the matter otherwise. Unfortunately your Chairman and Mr. S. T. Williamson (The Chairman of the Shipowners Protection Association) agreed to this request. This was an unfortunate mistake on their part as it gave the Hongkong Government time to prepare and put into effect an effective counter-move to frustrate and forestall the owners' claim. This took the shape of the Indemnity Ordinance, 1922.”\n\nMr. Burkill said :--\n\n\"After agreeing to postpone the case instituted against the Government because the Shipping Controller was going on leave and because we were given to understand it would help materially an amicable settlement we found that the postponement was merely used to enable an Indemnity Act to be framed and passed which put us out of Court\".\n\nMr. Moller subsequently, in view of comments in the Hongkong Press, wrote to the North China Daily News:-\n\n\"Mr. Fletcher has seen fit to remark to the Press that many of my statements are untrue, to wit\n\nThat my statement \"That the Colonial Secretary at Hongkong obtained a stay of legal proceedings, and later the\n\nPage 70\n\nPage 300\n\n \n!",

        "content_text": "301\n\n76\n\nSurely Mr. A. G. M. Fletcher cannot forget the interview, that both Mr. Williamson and myself attended up at his office in the Colonial Secretariat Building. The meeting, at which the inadvisability of both parties carrying on with the legal proceedings, already instituted by us, was brought up where it was pointed out to us, the futility of incurring huge mutual legal obligations: and where it was suggested, that in view of the early departure for Home of Mr. A. G. M. Fletcher, we should leave all proceedings in abeyance until his return, and that in the interim an adjustment might possibly take place.\n\nGovernment protected itself by Ordinance,\" is untrue.\n\nThere is no object for me to make any untrue statements, as no possible good would ever result therefrom, nor do I desire to associate myself with any such means to attain my ends. And, I will again state that the result of this interview was the means of the legal proceedings being held up, and such facts are in written existence in Hongkong to-day.\n\nAt that interview there was no whisper, intention, or warning placed before Mr. Williamson or myself that an Ordinance and the Eventual Indemnity Act of 1922, would be set into operation during Mr. Fletcher's absence at Home, but such really was the case, and it came into operation and full force shortly after his return to the Colony.\n\nThe coincidence and the connection were remarkable, and still even in face of this, I still believe and contend that Mr. Fletcher was at that meeting, acting in entire good faith towards us, but that all the same the subsequent inauguration of the Indemnity Act of 1922, was started almost immediately afterwards with a view to block our claim and crumple our legal proceedings.\n\nBoth Mr. Williamson and myself, took the guidance of Mr. Fletcher at the interview in entire good faith and acted upon same by suspending our legal proceedings forthwith.\n\nIn short, these statements are to the effect that, immediately after legal proceedings were commenced, Mr. Fletcher approached the owners with a request for the stay of such proceedings with a view to an amicable settlement; and the words used are capable of being understood as conveying a suggestion that Mr. Fletcher deliberately proposed the stay in order to give the Hongkong Government time to prepare the Indemnity Ordinance.\n\n36. The accuracy of these statements by Mr. Moller and Mr. Burkill may perhaps be called in question.\n\nThere is first the use of the word \"immediately\", with its obvious inference that the legal proceedings caused Mr. Fletcher or the Hongkong Government some perturbation. Mr. Moller rightly says that the proceedings were commenced in December, 1919, and he has supplied the date of Mr. Fletcher's alleged request in the passage beginning \"Surely Mr. A. G. M. Fletcher cannot forget the interview\". The interview took place on the 23rd August, 1920, and Mr. Moller's \"immediately\" resolves itself into a period of more than eight months.\n\n77\n\nMr. Fletcher to the Hon. Mr. E. H. Sharp, K.C., Counsel for the Hongkong Government: 24th August, 1920.\n\n\"Moller and Williamson tell me that Turner from Deacon's office represented to them yesterday that you were anxious to get on with the Wollowra case immediately. I had seen Moller and Williamson yesterday before Turner came to them and we agreed informally that it would be better to let the matter stand over in order that there might be opportunity for consideration of certain cases which were now pending at home\".\n\nCrown Solicitor to Messrs. Deacon, Looker, Deacon, and Harston: 25th August, 1920:-\n\n\"Wollowra Steamship Co. v. Attorney General.\n\nWith regard to Messrs. Moller and Williamson's proposal to the Colonial Secretary that this case should stand over\".\n\nMinute by the Attorney General: 1st June, 1921 :-\n\n\"As a matter of fact the arrangement was made at the request of the plaintiffs, and I remember that I felt some difficulty about agreeing because there was always the possibility that Mr. Fletcher might not return and he is the only person who knows anything about the facts\".\n\nCrown Solicitor to Messrs. Deacon, Looker, Deacon, & Harston, 6th June, 1921 :—\n\n\"I would remind you that the arrangement that the action should stand over was made at the request of your clients\".\n\n14\n\nMessrs. Deacon, Looker, Deacon, & Harston to Crown Solicitor, 7th June, 1921 : --\n\n\"We think that the arrangement referred to, although actually made at our clients' request, was in fact and was so understood by both sides a mutual agreement for the mutual benefit of both sides as Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Williamson were, at the time that the arrangement was made, understood to be about to leave the Colony\".\n\nIn \"The humble petition of Messrs. A. R. Burkill & Sons of Shanghai, Messrs. Moller & Co. (Shanghai) Limited of Shanghai\" and others, dated the 17th June, 1921, the following statement appears \"On the 25th August, 1920, the Government consented to the case being postponed\".\n\nMr. Fletcher concurs that the arrangement, though proposed by the owners, was mutual. A representation was made to him that certain actions, involving similar claims against the Imperial Government, were pending at home, and he entirely agreed with Mr. Moller and Mr. Williamson that it would be a mere waste of money for the owners to proceed with their case in Hongkong, when it appeared possible that the matter in dispute would shortly be settled at home, at the expense of litigants in the Courts in London.\n\nThe third point is the suggestion that, in agreeing to the stay of proceedings, Mr. Fletcher had some information regarding the intention of the Government to pass an Indemnity Ordinance, which he concealed from the owners.\n\nMessrs. Deacon, Looker, Deacon, & Harston wrote to the Crown Solicitor on the 7th June, 1921 :\n\n\"We do not know whether the Government had the present proposed Ordinance in mind when this arrangement for the stay of proceedings was come to. If it had, disclosure thereof should have been made.\"\n\nThe Crown Solicitor replied on the 16th June, 1921 :\n\n\"When the above arrangement was made last August, the Government had no Indemnity Ordinance of any kind in contemplation and had never considered the question of introducing an Indemnity Ordinance.”\n\nThe first proposal for an Indemnity Ordinance came from the Secretary of State for the Colonies in a circular despatch, dated the 28th December, 1920, which reached Hongkong on the 13th February, 1921. Mr. Fletcher left the Colony for England on the 1st January, 1921, and on that date neither he nor the Government had contemplated any question of an Indemnity Ordinance The Governor wrote to the Secretary of State on the 27th November regarding the legal proceedings which had been commenced, and he made no suggestion of any possibility of a solution by means of an Indemnity Bill. The circular despatch of the 28th December, 1920, is the opening document on the file dealing with the proposal for an ordinance.\n\nMr. Fletcher arrived in England at the end of February, 1921, and, on a date which he cannot recall, he was informed at the Colonial Office of the circular despatch, and his opinion was invited. He referred to the arrangement for the stay of legal proceedings.",

The Imperial Government, under whose orders the Hongkong Government had acted, was obviously the responsible party, and, if it desired to make certain of its position, it should do so by means of the Imperial legislation.\n\nMr. Fletcher heard nothing further until his return to the Colony on the 15th December, 1921, when he found that the Indemnity Bill had been read a first time. He re-opened negotiations with the owners, which finally ended in the proposal as to division of profits, which the Unofficial Members of the Legislative Council rejected. The Unofficial Members at the same time advised that the Indemnity Bill should be proceeded with.\n\nIt seemed to Mr. Fletcher that he could not usefully do anything more on behalf of the owners, and he reported to the Attorney General on the 27th July, 1922, that he had interviewed Mr. Williamson and Mr. Shenton and that \"I took the attitude that the question of future action was now out of my hands and the correspondence should be between the Solicitors.\"\n\nThe Indemnity Ordinance became law on the 18th August, 1922.\n\nThe Nancy Moller Steamship Company, Limited.\n\n  \n    Incorporated\n    -\n    May 1st, 1919\n  \n  \n    Paid-up Capital\n    Nominal Capital\n    Mex$250,000\n  \n  \n    \n    \n    Mex$250,000\n  \n  \n    Mr. E.

These resulted in a composition with his creditors being accepted by the Court, and Mr. Moller obtained his discharge.\n\n2. Mr. Moller has since made a proposal through the legal firm of Messrs. Deacons, Hongkong, that the Government of Hongkong might assist him financially in purchasing three steamships to be operated by him or by a Company to be formed. I enclose a copy of Mr. Moller's letter to Mr. Shenton. As you will observe, the essence of the proposal is that a sum of about £45,000 should be advanced by this Government free of interest for ten years for the purchase of the vessels, which would be fully insured and mortgaged to this Government.\n\n3. If the suggestion had been to make use in this manner of money derived from the ordinary sources of revenue of the Colony, I should have unhesitatingly refused to listen to it, but the idea underlying the proposal is that it would be a fitting use for money which accrued to this Government as profit in respect of the controlled use of Mr. Moller's ships and to which he still regards himself\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE  \nJ.

The money derived from the shipping control profits amounted to over two million dollars, which is at present invested in England pending a final decision as to the exact objects to which it should be devoted. I do not think that in view of all the circumstances it would be unreasonable to devote a part of it (it would require about $400,000) to helping Mr. Moller to re-establish himself. It is undeniably a risky transaction. Mr. Moller's handling of the shipping business after his controlled ships were returned to him was not such as to afford me certainty of future success, but he is unquestionably a man of ability and it would be as much to his interests as to those of the Government to \"run straight\" and do his utmost to make the venture successful. I cannot help sympathizing - however illogically - with him in the matter of the shipping control, as it must have been particularly galling to him to see large profits made by the Government out of the use of his ships, which were to him only a source of loss.\n\nIf, therefore, you will agree to the suggestion that part of the money, which came to us as a windfall, should be devoted to what may perhaps be described as a gamble, I should be willing to accept Mr. Moller's proposal. I may add that there is still a considerable feeling in Shanghai and along the coast against this Government on the ground that Mr. Moller has not been fairly treated. It is not the local custom to read lengthy documents or to give careful study to both sides of a question, and the only argument that seems to be readily comprehended is this: \"Mr. Moller would have made large profits if the Government had not taken control of his ships; therefore, he has been badly treated.\" If the Government now assists to put him on his legs again, a considerable amount of ill-feeling will be removed, which would probably be a good thing in the interests of the Colony.",

I am convinced of this, and many good ships are going begging, purely on account of the collapse of the present shipping trade.  \n\nI am satisfied that my training to run steamers is more than sufficient to bring anything I touch in shipping to a success.  \n\nI would like to purchase tonnage with as young an age as possible, but such vessels usually cost a substantial amount; furthermore, I do not care to buy any vessel under 3000 tons deadweight, if this is possible.  \n\nI would wish to purchase three (3) steamers, as this will give me one-third of the tonnage back, which I had at the early part of the war (i.e., I had 9 vessels).  \n\nI am of the opinion that I could buy these three steamers for an amount in the vicinity of £45,000.0.0, that is if I act promptly and take advantage of the present depression.  \n\nI average the price of tonnage at about £15,000.0.0 each.  \n\nLeaving a \"Give-and-Take\" round the age of the vessels (i.e., a younger boat would cost a little more than...",

Spanish Government's scheme to employ Chinese labourers under contract in Island of Fernando Po.\n\n2. Shantung coolies are being recruited here and it is proposed to send first shipment of 2,000 including some women and children from Tsingtao early in December by s.s. \"Kining\" agents of which vessel are Moller and Company of Shanghai.\n\n3. Local Chinese Administration is strongly encouraging and assisting scheme but Nanking Government I am informed has notified Spanish Legation Peking that recruitment of Chinese labour for Fernando Po is prohibited by Chinese Government and has also notified Commissioner for Foreign Affairs in Shanghai and Customs Superintendent of Chinese Government's attitude and instructed them to take necessary action if attempt is made to carry out scheme.\n\n4. Local branch of Cornabe, Bokford and Company a British firm is being employed for selection, engagement, clothing and shipment of Labourers hundreds of whom have already been collected and housed in prepared godowns awaiting shipment and will also undertake provisioning etc., of vessel when she arrives here. Mr. C.D. Stewart a local British resident who possesses excellent qualifications for the purpose has been engaged as Superintendent for voyage only. Medical Officer engaged for voyage only is a local American Doctor, D.G. Lew.\n\n5. In view of Nanking Government's attitude referred to above have you any instructions for me with regard to Cornabe, Bokford's connection with scheme and perhaps more particularly with regard to Stewart's engagement.\n\n(Signed) **KING**",

        "content_text": "# British Interests in Formosa\n\n2 and all these narrow streets are in a chronic state of being blocked to traffic as a consequence. To what extent, if any, similar benevolences are paid by native firms is unknown.\n\n## Impact of Sino-Japanese Conflict\n\n6. The Sino-Japanese conflict has brought a new difficulty. In all the foreign firms, the most valuable technical experts are Chinese nationals who have been employed by the firms for a great many years. These at first wished to remain and have so far stayed, but the tendency to seek repatriation increases rapidly, and it is problematical whether many will be here by next tea season. If many are gone, the blow will be exceedingly severe.\n\n7. Messrs. Carter Macy and Jardine Matheson have also suffered directly from the campaign of spy-mania directed against British shipping, reviewed elsewhere. The main reason why the foreign firms have not been forced out sooner is that the tea trade in England and America is highly organised, and the foreign firms here represent powerful interests, with which, in their capacity as consumers, Formosa is bound to reckon. Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co. are considerably more vulnerable than the others since, alone of the four, they do a good deal of export to miscellaneous buyers abroad as well as to their principals. Even with this bargaining power behind them, however, the position of the local firms is increasingly difficult, and if they went, British shipping interests would also suffer a blow.\n\n8. Apart from tea, there are two British commercial ventures. Mr. S. Elphinstone, a British subject, controls the Tokki Gomei Kaisha, which has a monopoly of the Formosan sulphur output and also has some interest in coal. In April 1937, an attempt was made by the Taiwan Mining Company to bluff him into selling his interests at a low price on the ground that otherwise he would be expropriated by the military. Mr. Elphinstone refused to sell and went off on a world tour, from which he was forced to return in September by the threat caused to his interests by the Sino-Japanese conflict. Since his return, he has again received tentative approaches, but a more immediate danger to his interests is his inability to export his products. The local authorities are maintaining an unofficial but nonetheless effective control over exports to Hong Kong, and sulphur and coal are both treated as contraband. If the struggle is prolonged, it would appear that Mr. Elphinstone's position will become very difficult.\n\n9. The Rising Sun Petroleum Company has an installation at Tamsui and a sales office at Taihoku. They have so far been well treated in regard to quotas, but since the conflict, their sales have severely fallen. The firm is also being caused some anxiety by a sustained effort on the part of the Shinchiku police to involve native members of the staff on a charge of procuring information of military value. In the middle of October, the theatre of investigation was transferred to Taihoku, and leading members of the native staff were examined on successive days for nearly a week. It is hoped, however, that the case will not develop seriously, as the military police in Taihoku are aware of the matter and apparently consider that Shinchiku is making a fuss about nothing.\n\n## Religious Missions\n\n10. The Canadian Presbyterian Mission is centred at Taihoku, and the English Presbyterian Mission at Tainan. Both have been in serious trouble during the past four years and have been compelled to dispose of their educational interests, but neither is in special trouble at the moment. The Canadian Mission has a hospital in Taihoku, and Dr. Gushue Taylor, a member of the mission, runs a leper home in the country south of Tamsui.\n\n## Perpetual Leases\n\n11. Various British firms, missions, and individuals (some of them absentees) hold land in Formosa under perpetual lease. Perpetual leases in Formosa do not come under the settlement recently made in Japan because they have not been the subject of controversy. Neither His Majesty's Government nor the leaseholders have maintained that these leases enjoyed privileges in regard to taxation, and the Foreigners' Land Ownership Law has never been extended to Formosa. Consequently, while so far there is no controversy, there is also no prospect of the termination of this peculiar form of tenure, and the existence of these rights in land, some of which is not being occupied or developed, holds the seeds of possible trouble. Messrs. Jardine Matheson are at present trying to sell such a plot to a Japanese concern, which squatted on it unlawfully, and the latter are trying to force a sale at a nominal figure on the ground that it is inexpedient for a foreign firm in Formosa to go to law.\n\n## British Shipping\n\n12. There have fortunately been no more of the controversies over entry into \"unopened ports,\" which have caused such serious difficulty and suspicion during the past three years. During the period of good relations in the spring, British salvage companies were allowed to salvage two wrecks on the Formosan coast without any contretemps more serious than being mulcted in one case of nearly 5,000 yen for customs duty on salvage gear that was re-exported as soon as salvage was finished. The peculiar difficulties, however, to which British shipping, and those who act as agents or stevedores, are subjected can be seen from the review of the `City of Pittsburg` and `Alice Moller` cases made elsewhere, and by the fact that a master of a British ship in Tamsui was refused permission to visit the consulate until His Majesty's consul intervened in a manner which forced the Japanese authorities to give way.\n\n13. This review should suffice to show that while British interests in Formosa are few, every one of them is in continual need of consular advice and protection, and if such assistance were not freely given, it may be surmised that, in the conditions of to-day, they would be forced to withdraw from the island within a very short time.\n\nPage 25\nPage 3\nPage 26",

I am now informed from a reliable source that the real reason why the service was interrupted was that just as the boat was about to leave Takao, the Japanese authorities intervened, objecting that much of the cargo was of a kind which would be liable to defeat the objects of the naval blockade.\n\nIt appears that a strict control is being exercised over exports to Hong Kong, though the policy is being kept as quiet as possible. Consequently, I am unable to give a precise account of what the restrictions may be. I think there is a contraband list, but that some discretion is exercised as to its enforcement. Goods on through bills of lading for ports other than Chinese are not affected, and even contraband billed for Hong Kong may sometimes be passed if the consignee be non-Chinese, and fairly obviously needs the goods for his own use. But whatever the details may be, it is clear that the main object, so far as concerns Formosa, is to prevent supplies of Formosan coal reaching Chinese hands.\n\nRegarding the Chinese evacuation problem, it appears that the \"Rosalie Moller\" was delayed and reached Takao on her first...\n\n## 2.\n\nHis Excellency  \nThe Right Honourable  \nSir Robert Craigie, K.C.M.G., C.B.,  \netc., etc.,  \nTokyo.  \netc.,",

I will add that this conclusion will remain unless some concrete facilities are given to British Shipping to carry on trade which is available and for which there is a demand, especially as it is clear that there are now no dangers in passing through the barrier to Kowan other than normal risks of navigation on that stretch of the river.\n\nRepeated to Shanghai.",

        "content_text": "43.\n\noutstanding liabilities from the war, the Acting Financial Secretary, after dealing with all liabilities for which there is financial provision, said:- \"So far as can be seen, (legal) liability only exists in the case of requisitioned vessels for damage or loss occurring during the period of requisitioning, and the question whether U.K. Service Departments can properly accept charges arising out of such claims can only be shown after examination of the facts in each case and of the existing practice of respective Departments. This examination is now taking place in consultation with this Government\". The maximum claim was set at H.K. $25,000,000. It would be difficult, if not impossible in view of this statement and at this stage, whatever the moral factors, for the Hong Kong Government to repudiate primary liability for the requisitions made in accordance with the Defence Plan. If the claimants were now to proceed against the Hong Kong Government in the courts, their claims would succeed and it seems to me that the Hong Kong Government gain nothing by delaying settlement any further, At least one claimant Co., (the Hong Kong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Co.), the major part of whose assets is tied up in this claim, has reached a stage of exasperation where it is seriously considering recourse to law. There have been no public or private commitments in relation to denial action, and apart from any moral arguments there would seem at present to be no obligation on the Hong Kong Government to meet these claims, but it is conceivable that eventually such cases might be taken to court (for instance by the Moller group). Up to the present there does not seem to have been public pressure to meet claims in the case of denial action over ships. Service Departments have hitherto admitted no liability for requisitions effected under the Defence Plan or as a result of denial action, but in two instances, where their connection with the plan was not recognised, the Navy have paid for the requisitioning and loss of launches actually requisitioned by the Harbour Master.\n\n(b) Since the liability in the first instance rests with the Hong Kong Government, other Departments, if they ultimately accept any liability, are in decency bound to stand by the settlements made by the Hong Kong Government, who can be relied on to make the most economic settlements practicable. There should be no difficulty in obtaining the consent of Service Departments to accept such settlements, without any admission in principle of liability; and, if they do so, there seems no reason why the H.K. Government should delay further the settlement of its requisitioning liabilities. I strongly recommend that a very early start be made on assessing claims, as delay only makes it more difficult to collect and evaluate the facts.\n\n(c) As regards the liability of Service Departments, it does not seem to me possible to assemble detailed facts in each particular case, which would show with any degree of accuracy for which Service any ship was requisitioned. This is due partly to the destruction of records and partly to death and disappearance from the East of the persons involved. The Hong Kong Government's information comes primarily from the claims registered by ship-owners and from the personal recollections of the Harbour Master, and in most cases is not based on documentary evidence or confirmed from other sources. Quite apart from this, however, it is very questionable whether the sinking of particular block ships (which represent the greater part of the liability) by particular services can be taken as a fair basis for dividing responsibility between the Services, all of which were in their respective measures interested in the purpose for which these vessels were used. In the case of ferries, the only outstanding claim is that for loss or damage, which, though legally enforceable because of the requisition, was properly in the category of denial action and as such of interest to all Services. It is only in the case of launches, which were used by particular Services, that clear departmental responsibility can be shown, and in this case the records of craft requisitioned and the use to which they were put are virtually non-existent.\n\nWith regard to the\n\n(a) In Schedule 1 are given particulars of the cases recorded. Nine block ships, which constitute by far the largest part of the claim, the main facts are as follows:-\n\n(i) Four river ships were requisitioned for scuttling by the Harbour Department at the entrances to the Yaumati Junk Shelter to keep junks out of the way, as they were masking the line of fire, both naval and military. The ships were duly scuttled.\n\n-6-",

        "content_text": "# FINDING OF THE COURT\n\nWe find that the British vessel \"Hong Kheng\" registered at the Port of Singapore and owned by the Ho Hong Steamship Company, Limited, of Singapore left the Port of Victoria, Hongkong, at about 1830 hours on Friday the 18th day of July, 1947, and that Captain Douglas Ronald Bannerman was Master of the vessel and had cleared her for Swatow with 1620 Asiatic passengers and a crew of 181 but carrying no cargo.\n\nAt 2042 hours on the same day and when in a position 173 degrees distant 2.0 miles from the island known as the South Ninepin the course was set 075 degrees to pass approximately 8.0 miles off Chilang Point. The wind was E.N.E. with a force of from 5 to 6 on the Beaufort Scale and the visibility was fair with occasional rain storms.\n\nNo alterations in the course were made, and at 0357 hours on Saturday the 19th day of July, 1947, the \"Hong Kheng\" stranded on the Reef Island rocks and subsequently became a total loss.\n\nFrom evidence adduced before the Court we are satisfied that the course set would normally allow a reasonable margin of safety, and it is the one used by shipmasters with long experience in the China Coast Trade.\n\nWe are satisfied that an efficient lookout was kept at all times and that lights 3 miles distant were plainly visible, but it is the opinion of the Court that the visibility, although fairly good so far as lights were concerned, might have been of such a nature as would render the detection of low-lying islands very difficult.\n\nThe evidence clearly shows that soundings are rarely taken by vessels regularly running along that stretch of the Coast, but the Court is of the firm opinion that a prudent shipmaster would have ordered at least hourly soundings which would have given some indication of an inshore set. This is especially so in this particular case for the time of day precluded any form of observations and bearings, and navigational hazards were increased by the uncertain visibility and the fact that the important light on Chilang Point was extinguished.\n\nWe are agreed that the \"Hong Kheng\" experienced an abnormal and unpredictable set and drift which may be reasonably attributed to the tropical revolving storm which passed roughly 120 miles to the southwards of the vessel on the 18th July, 1947, and in this matter the Court is guided by the remarks on Page 15 of the \"Sailing Directions\" China Sea Pilot, Volume III which states as follows:-\n\nIn the vicinity of a tropical revolving storm the set of the current may be markedly different from that to be expected normally. The tropical storm produces a set radiating outwards from the centre of the storm, which is probably due to a combination of the following:-\n(a) A swell radiating from the centre.\n(b) The piling up of water in the centre, producing a more or less radial flow.\n(c) The effects of the earth's rotation upon currents generated by the winds associated with the storm.\n\nThe set of the currents actually experienced at a place in the vicinity of a tropical storm will, therefore, be a combination of the set of the current to be expected normally at that place and this additional set radiating from the centre of the tropical storm. When the first of these is relatively weak the radial set will be predominant, and in particular situations may produce a resultant set completely different from the normal. Unless, therefore, due allowance is made for this radial set, very serious errors in reckoning may arise.\n\nPage 1\nPage 2\n\n8. We have considered the fact that the \"Hong Kheng\" was not manned in accordance with the requirements of the Merchant Shipping Acts in so far as she did not carry a duly certificated 1st Mate but only an Acting 1st Mate holding a 2nd Mate's Certificate of Competency for a Foreign-going steamship, and also a 2nd Mate holding a 1st Mate's Home Trade Certificate, which circumstances were occasioned by the unfortunate accident to the 1st Mate which necessitated his being landed for medical attention on the 18th of July, 1947.\n\nIn view of the nature of the short voyage, and the prevailing shortage of certificated officers in these difficult days, the Court is completely satisfied that the \"Hong Kheng\", although not manned to statutory requirements, was in no way endangered by the temporary absence of the 1st Mate.\n\n9. We are of the opinion that the discipline on board the vessel remained consistently good at all times, and that the Master and his Officers had full command of the situation and supervised the disembarkation of the passengers in a seamanlike manner.\n\n10. We accept the evidence of the Acting Port Health Officer that Four of the survivors died after leaving the \"Hong Kheng\", and also his assurances that none of these deaths could be attributed to the casualty but that all four persons had died of natural causes.\n\nWe find:-\n(a) That the \"Hong Kheng\" was lost by stranding on the Reef Island rocks having been set off her course by an unusual current.\n(b) That the Master of the vessel is responsible for two omissions in that he failed to avail himself of the advice afforded by the \"Sailing Directions\" and also that he failed to take soundings in circumstances which clearly indicated their necessity.\n\nWe commend the action of the Master in considering the lives of the passengers as being of prior importance to any immediate attempt to refloat the vessel which might well have resulted in the vessel foundering in deep water with a probable heavy loss of life.\n\nWe have carefully reviewed the evidence and considered all attendant circumstances, and we are unanimously agreed that Captain Douglas Ronald Bannerman must be censured but we do not find it necessary to either suspend or cancel his Certificate of Competency as Master of a Foreign-going Steamship.\n\n12. In conclusion, we wish to place on record our high appreciation of the splendid and seamanlike action taken by the Commanding Officers of the U.S.S. \"Hawkins\" and \"Fox\", H.M.S. \"Hart\", U.S.S.R. S.S. \"Nahadka\", S.S. \"Hunan\" and the S.T. \"Caroline Moller\" all of whom by their united efforts saved the entire passengers and crew totalling over 1800 persons and brought them safely to Hong Kong after ministering to their needs.\n\nWe also wish to express our appreciation of the good work done by the Hong Kong Medical Department who made all the necessary arrangements to receive the survivors and attend to their comfort.\n\n**Marine Court, Hong Kong.**\n\n31st July, 1947.\n\nSigned:-\n**President**\n(James Jolly)\n**Members**\n(Felix Edward Neville-Towle)\n(Redvers Endicott Smith)",

        "content_text": "## \n\n(1) \n\nThe vessel showed signs of breaking her back at No. 3 bulkhead. \nI came to the conclusion that disembarkation would soon become impossible from the gangways, and with the help of my officers, I directed all passengers to the fore end of the ship, and resumed disembarkation by pilot ladder. The salvage tug \"Caroline Moller\" arrived about 6.0 P.M. and enquired if they could be of any assistance. I replied nothing could be done until the disembarkation was completed but requested them to place their motor boat at our disposal. It was agreed to, and much valuable work was done.\n\nAt 8.0 P.M., I left the vessel after first making sure that no person remained on board. The Naval party also conducted a search. 1620 passengers and 181 crew were safely removed from the vessel. One passenger, a very old man, died from natural causes on board shortly after stranding.\n\nI joined the \"Caroline Moller\" with a view to standing by. About 10.0 P.M., the lookout man of the Tug reported that the \"Hong Kheng\" was on fire. I saw flames and smoke on the starboard side of the forecastle - indicating the lamp room. Later on, the entire vessel was ablaze and was smouldering the next morning. Salvage was out of the question, and we returned to Hong Kong.\n\nI have been in the China Coast trade since 1928 and been in command since 1935. During the passage from the Ninepins towards Chilang Point, the wind was ENE, force 5-6. The \"Hong Kheng\" had a Kelvin type sounding machine. No soundings were taken after leaving the Ninepins. Soundings would most probably have indicated an inshore set. I was aware of the tropical revolving storm which passed about 150 miles to the southwards on the 18th. I have never experienced an abnormal set and drift which I could definitely ascribe to the passing of a tropical revolving storm.",
