Upon closer inspection, it seems to be related to historical documents concerning the construction of tanks, wells, and drainage systems in Victoria, Hong Kong.\n\n## Step 2: Apply Markdown formatting for structure.\nGiven the content, it seems to be a mix of letters and reports. The text will be reorganized into paragraphs and formatted using Markdown for headers and emphasis where necessary.\n\n## Step 3: Correct spelling errors and spacing issues.\nCorrecting obvious spelling errors such as \"Mitawer\" to a possible correct term, \"deansing\" to \"cleansing\", \"constraction\" to \"construction\", \"Bansmitting\" to \"Transmitting\", \"Ialomires\" to possibly \"Memorandum\" or another relevant term, \"unsterstands\" to \"understands\", \"subjut\" to \"subject\", \"Houghing\" to possibly \"Forwarding\", \"Ivernor\" to \"Governor\", \"Die\" to \"To\", \"envarded\" to \"forwarded\", \"HiSiqhen\" to possibly a date or reference, \"Кикут\" to possibly a name or term, \"Constructiin\" to \"Construction\", \"Vectoria\" to \"Victoria\", \"oheater\" to possibly \"water\", \"Khench Connery Hymn\" to possibly a misrecognition of a place or term, \"huepary buthin's her\" to possibly a misrecognition of a place or term.\n\n## Step 4: Rejoin broken sentences and restore paragraph breaks.\nThe text is broken into many small lines. Rejoining them into coherent sentences and paragraphs based on the content.\n\n## Step 5: Indicate missing words and format file references correctly.\nInserting `...` where words are clearly missing due to OCR damage.

        "content_text": "4) Junks. I could not distinguish the men in the junk, it was Su Jark. After this first stone was thrown, the gentlemen spoke again to the junkmen; the only words that could understand that the junkmen said were that \"sti pow\" (small gun) but I cannot say whether this was said before or after the stones were thrown, but told the gentlemen that the junkmen said \"They keep small gun fire.\" Some of the gentlemen wanted to go on board the junk. Mr May took the helm to steer the boat to the junk. Two of the gentlemen did not want to go to the junk; there was only one man pulling at the time; and the other boat-people went into the stern of our boat, as we were afraid. We were close enough to these junks to enable me to recognize them again. I saw about twenty men on board the junk; I only saw the upper parts of the men's bodies; could not say if they had pikes in their hands. After this we came ashore at Gibb's wharf; in our boat were two men, one woman, and a boy. There were no junks within fourteen feet of these two junks. When I came ashore I came with Mr Muir to the Police Station; Mr Muir got the Policemen, and went down to the Bank wharf; I went in the Police-boat with Mr Mair; we went to the two junks, the same junks which threw the stones at us. We got within about seventy feet of the junks; the Lukong in the Police-boat said something in the Pokeen or Tib-tchieu dialect. The Lukong said at the time he spoke in Tila-tchien. The Police-boat had a light which she showed; there were no Chinese characters on this lantern. The junkmen did not say anything; they were making a noise on board the junks; the junkmen then threw more than ten stones at us; we then returned, and Mr Mair and two other gentlemen came off again with me in a Chinese boat; the Police went before us.\n\n(11)\n\nmy boat next. Mr May's boat had no interpreter in her. I heard the men in the junks sing out \"Pha, p'ha.\" I called out as loud as I could (for fear of the junks being Pokeen boats and strangers) \"Do not fire.\" The breeze at this time was fresh, and we were to leeward of the junks; my boat showed a lantern. The junks then fired single shots; I could not say by the report if the guns were loaded; our boats returned the fire. Mr May's boat got alongside; I saw something go over the bows of Mr May's boat, and someone said, \"There's a man overboard.\" Mr May's boat backed down, and told us to cease firing; the men in the junk still continued to use the words \"Lo hu-p'ha, p'ha,\" \"Police devils-fight, fight,\" (or beat, or strike); we then dropped astern, and waited for May's return from the Cambrian. While waiting, an English boat pulled up; found it was a guard-boat. The officer asked me what was the matter; I told him; he returned to the Cambrian. When Mr May came the junks and then we followed; I came ashore in a man-of-war's boat, and on landing wanted to take the Chinamen's tails together that came ashore in her, and found only one or two had tails. I asked, \"How is this?\" when one of the sailors said, \"Here's one of them,\" pulling out a tail from the breast of his shirt. The two men who died at the Station were not any of those men I came ashore with. One of them was brought by a Police-boat, the other man was found the sailors bringing up the Queen's Road; he was quite naked; and seven other prisoners were with him. I escorted them to the station, and took the wounded man to the station Hospital; the boat he came in was one of the cutters; there was an officer in charge of the boat.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL.\n\nDANIEL RICHARD CALDWELL re-examined.--When Mr May left me to go to the man-of-war, he told me to wait till he came back, and watch the boats; he did not give me any other orders.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL.\n\n(16)\n\nJAMES HANWAY PLUMRIDGE sworn,--I am senior officer of H. M. Naval forces in China. On Sunday evening last I was informed by the officer of the watch that Mr May came on board the Cambrian, and made a complaint that some junkmen had been assaulting one gentleman; that his authority was called in question; and that the junkmen would not allow him to come on board; and threatened to fire, and did fire, at him. I sent for Captain Morris, and told what I have stated, and told him to get the boats hoisted out and prepared. He proposed to send a boat or two; I told him No, to send all the boats; not to take the large guns, but to see that they were all armed. These boats I ordered to go in three divisions--the launch, pinnace, and barge; the two cutters and Jolly boat were astern of them and a boat astern of each large boat. I sent for Lieutenant Lloyd, told him of the nature of the complaint that was made, and desired him to back the police, and take any or all of the men on board of the junks and give them in charge of the police. The reason of my sending so large a force was to prevent a loss of life, that the Chinese might submit without resistance when they saw the force. I finished by saying to Mr Lloyd,\n\nWhen you get to the junks, you will divide your boats in two divisions, and you will board on the quarter and opposite quarter; you will board sword in hand; if there is any doubt about the junks, bring them off, and we will anchor them one under each bow of the ship. After the boats had gone, after some time, one boat returned with six Chinese; I told them to take them ashore to the Police, not to let them on board. The reason of my wish for the boats to board was for fear the junks should have cut their cables and gone away; to prevent which I had guns trained aft, and would have fired into them had they attempted to get away. I gave an officer a couple of blue lights, and told him to burn them, in case they did not receive a resistance was made. This signal was not made, because they did receive a resistance was made.\n\n...\n\n(17)\n\nJ. HANWAY PLUMRIDGE.\n\nANDY WILLIAM CHAPMAN WISE sworn,--I am Acting Second Master on Board H. M. S. Cambrian. On Sunday evening last, I was in command of the second cutter under Lieutenant Lloyd. [Gives similar evidence to Lieutenant Lloyd as to the attack and boarding.] When I boarded I saw no Chinese; but I saw our men leading up some prisoners from below. The first men were passed into the second cutter; there were seven of them. I did not see any cutlasses or bayonets used on the deck of the small junk; do not know what took place below. I saw several Chinese jump into the water; there was one that I went after; he was wounded in the shoulder when I picked him up; he was swimming; I think he had a pair of trousers on; I secured his hands and laid him down in the bottom of the boat; I think this man's wound was from a musket bullet. I took the prisoners first on board the Cambrian, and was then told to take them to the Station. There were no shots fired from my boat at any Chinese in the water. After the boarding I heard firing; also heard firing down into the hold of the junk, from her deck. I was in the cutter at this time. I landed the prisoners down to the westward. I saw one or two shots fired either by the Police or our men from the junk at the men in the water.\n\n(18)\n\nW. C. WISE.\n\nROBERT ELLIOT sworn,--I am a midshipman on board H. M. ship Cambrian. On Sunday evening I was in the pinnace under the command of Lieutenant Lloyd; we had the second cutter in tow, and were to board the outward of the two junks after the two signals as previously agreed on were fired. All the boats cheered and gave way alongside; the Chinese fired four or five ginjals, and some small arms; immediately they fired we fired about twenty muskets; we fired in the direction where we saw fire from the junks;\n\nQuestioned by Mr Shortrede--In the junks after we boarded, I saw no Chinese cut down with cutlasses. After we boarded, I heard about eight or nine shots fired at the men in the water; cannot say whether they were fired by the Police or our boats. The reason of the large force I took was in consequence of what I heard the first time from the Police, and after consulting with the Commodore. I did not know at the time that any of the men had their tails cut off. I have since heard such was the case. When I boarded the junk and heard the firing at the people in the water, I sang out as loud as I could to cease firing. None of my men were wounded with shot.\n\nHENRY LLOYD, Lieutenant R.N. H. M. S. Cambrian.\n\n(12)\n\nJOSEPH HENRY JOLLIFFE sworn,--I am first Lieutenant of Marines on board H. M. S. Cambrian. On Sunday evening last, I heard firing ashore. Shortly after Mr May came alongside in the Police-boat; he came on board and spoke to Mr Pulling, the master. In consequence of what he said the boats were ordered out; there were six boats altogether; between twenty-five and thirty marines went in the boats; they had muskets and bayonets; I was in the launch under the command of Lieutenant Lloyd. After we boarded the two junks, some shots were fired from the small junk at something in the water; I was almost certain it was at a man in the water; this shot was fired either by our men or the Police. There were twelve men from the junks put into one of the cutters; Mr Pulling and I were in charge of this cutter. A second cutter under the command of Mr Wise took some more Chinese ashore, and landed lower down than we did; we landed at Mr Bowra's wharf. The Chinese that we brought ashore had blood about them. Coming ashore I saw another Chinaman in the water; we saw him when we shoved off from the junks; I heard one shot fired at this man; there may have been more; this shot either came from a police or man-of-war's boat. Some of the men had their tails cut off; one was cut off in the launch; another I saw cut off in the junk. A seaman cut off these tails in each case; one sailor cut off a tail with his clasp knife; this was in the launch. The prisoners were first handed into the launch and then into the cutter. While the Chinese were in the cutter coming ashore, none of their tails were cut off. I heard on board the vessel that several Chinamen's tails were brought on board the Cambrian; I saw one with Mr Elliot, a midshipman.\n\nQuestioned by Mr Shortrede--After boarding I saw no wounds inflicted by cutlasses. There was nothing said to the junkmen before we boarded them.\n\nJ. H. JOLLIFFE.\n\n(13)\n\nour shot, if any missed, would have gone in the direction of Jardine's. I saw one Chinaman in the water; a Policeman in our boat fired at this man; he struck him; we took the man into the second cutter; I am not positive that the shot was fired from our boat. I got a Chinaman's tail from one of the men on board; he found it in one of the boats.\n\nR. ELLIOT.\n\nJOHN RICKETT sworn,--I heard a ring on Sunday evening last off the Tower Bazaar; went out in the verandah, and just as the last gun was fired, I heard the word \"Lum-chi\" (water-thieves) called out. The sound came from where I heard the ring; the same sound was repeated. After that I went to bed. I was afterwards disturbed, and was told there was firing; after that I thought I heard cheering.\n\nQuestioned by Mr Shortrede--I have been in command of a vessel. Suppose you were in a harbour where a boat came alongside your vessel showing a bright light, and addressing you in a language which you did not understand, would you allow these men, or any of them, to come on board? Certainly not.--Would you, if you thought it necessary to prevent their coming on board, fire at them? I considered that they were thieves and a strong party, and that I could resist them by firing, I would.\n\n1st Lieutenant R. Marines.\n\nWILLIAM BUCHANAN ALEXANDER sworn,--I am a midshipman on board H. M.'s Frigate Cambrian. I was in the launch with Mr Lloyd on Sunday evening last. After I boarded the junks, I saw some shots fired from the junk at some men in the water; I heard, I think, four shots fired either by our men or the police. The jolly-boat under charge of Mr Victor was to look after the men in the water. I saw a Police-boat following me in the water; can't say whether they fired at this man. I did not see any of the Chinamen's tails cut off.\n\nW. B. ALEXANDER, Midshipman.\n\nBy Mr Cairns.--Supposing you were in a part the language of which you did not understand, and that a boat with a light came alongside of your vessel in which an individual speaking a language partially known to you gave you to understand that they were Policemen, would you make the same resistance? No, I should be doubtful what I should do in that case.\n\n(14)\n\nJACOB PHILLIPS sworn,--I live in one of Mr Oswald's houses close to the water. I heard the firing on Sunday evening; it was about three or four hundred yards from my house; this was about eight or quarter past eight. About 11 o'clock we heard another volley, and then a second. I went down to the Pier, and heard the shouting of men, but could not say what it was. I then went down with some friends to Acqui's wharf; heard a shouting of Europeans on board a Chinese vessel, and some shots fired, I think at some men in the water. From the time I heard the volleys until we heard these shots was about half an hour; I heard several balls whistle over my house after the second volley was fired.\n\nJ. PHILLIPS.\n\n(15)\n\nDANIEL RICHARD CALDWELL sworn,--I am Deputy Superintendent of Police. On Sunday night I went with Mr May in the Police-boats to the two junks to take the crews in custody. Mr May's boat was first.\n\n[do in that case]\n\nBy Mr Shortrede--If you had understood that in that part boatmen calling themselves policemen, and in the guise of policemen, were in the habit of boarding such vessels as yours and robbing them, would you resist under these circumstances? I certainly would.\n\n(20)\n\nJNO. RICKETT.\n\nThursday, 19th October.\n\nCHARLES MAY sworn,--I am Superintendent of Police. On Sunday evening last, Deputy Inspector Ryan informed me that Mr Mair and some other gentlemen had been to the Station and made a complaint, that while passing in a small boat in the harbour, a junk threw stones at them. Mr Ryan said he sent a Police-boat with two European Constables and a Chinese interpreter, Poon-chow, in order that the head-men of the junk might be brought to the Station; and came from this boat for further orders, as the Police had stones thrown at them--which orders Mr Ryan came to me to receive. I came to the Station and made more particular inquiries about the case, and ordered two other boats to be manned.\n\n...\n\n297",

I know the man now lying dead-his name is Barker Ally; he was a first-class Indian Policeman.\n\n+\n\nIn consequence of the other Inquest not being over, and likely to be for two days more, this inquest is adjourned to Saturday next at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.\n\n(2)\n\n---\n\nSaturday, 21st October.\n\nWILLIAM MORRISON, Colonial Surgeon, sworn,—On the 18th instant I inspected the body of Barker Ally. I found on the back of the left side of the chest a wound inflicted by a spear, which penetrated the cavity of the chest, wounded a large blood vessel; from this there was great effusion of blood into the chest; in addition to which, on the right side of the face there were 3 gun-shot wounds-separate wounds, as if inflicted by slugs-one in the eye, another in the cheek, and another in the chin. I am of opinion that the spear wound was a mortal one, and the gun-shot wound in the eye also mortal. The man bore the appearance of being in the water some time. I do not think the gun-shot wounds were made by carbine balls.\n\nExamined by Mr Anderson. The spear wound was not inflicted after death-the others may have been.\n\nWILLIAM MORRISON.\n\n(3)\n\nSALEM SWORD, I am a Police Constable. On the 18th instant I went with others in consequence of information received, and found the body of Barker Ally floating in the water opposite the Naval Stores here. I had the body brought ashore. I do not know how he came to be in the water.\n\n+\n\n(4)\n\nCARRIM sworn,-I am a Police Constable. Last Sunday evening I was in the Police boat with Barker Ally; we were going alongside a China vessel, when something was fired from the vessel; immediately after the shot Barker Ally fell overboard; he rose a little in the water and fell overboard, he rose once, and went down again; I cannot tell for certain if anything else happened or occurred to Barker Ally. I was on the same thwart with Barker Ally; the boat was very crowded; I was not pulling in the boat; I was armed with a musket; I cannot say whether there was a Chinaman in our boat or not; it was Mr May's boat I was in. We all spoke in Chinese to the junkmen. We only spoke a little; it was Hongkong Chinese, we said \"mow tai, mow ladrone\" to the junkmen; they only said \"t'ai t'ai,\" I did not know what I was going in the Police-boat for; it was extra duty. There was a light in the boat, but cannot say if it was shown or not; I remained afterwards and saw the firing between the junk and the men-of-war's men; I did not hear Mr May say anything to the junkmen. There was a number of stones thrown at the boat. I did not see Barker Ally wounded with a spear.\n\n+\n\n(5)\n\nJOHN LEWIS sworn.-I am a Police Constable. I was in Mr May's boat on Sunday evening; Barker Ally was in the boat; I was in the bow; Barker Ally was next to me aft. We went down to two junks, to go on board and see why they threw stones at the other boat. I think our boat hailed the junks, but cannot swear to it exactly; I heard talking on board the junks, but do not know what was said. It was not very dark or light at this time. There was some wind, for the boat was taking in water at the bow, I think there was a lantern in the boat, but cannot say that I saw it. We came within 30 yards of the junks, when they began throwing stones; they then fired at us, but none of the shots struck us. We then went close to the junk. Barker Ally was next to me; he was standing up. I heard him say \"Oh,\" and he turned round; as he turned round, there was a spear run into him. I think a shot struck him. Barker Ally either fell or was shoved into the water by the spear.\n\n(6)\n\nJOHN LEWIS.\n\nTHOMAS SCOTCHBURN Sworn,-I am a Police Constable. On Sunday evening last I went in Mr May's boat down to meet the other Police-boats. Mr May gave some directions to the boat, and we pulled away to the junks; Mr May's boat went on the larboard side and put her bow on towards the junks. I was sitting near Mr May. I do not recollect anything being said from our boat to the junkmen. I do not know whether there was a lantern in our boat; I think there was. We went close to the junks; the men cried out \"t'ai, t'ai.\" I did not hear anything said in reply from the boat I was in. The junk, I think the small one, we attempted to board. I do not remember any stones being thrown at us; there were two or three guns fired; I saw no balls strike the water from these guns; I should think they were shotted guns-I mean ginjals and smaller firearms. Some of the men in the bows attempted to board and were driven back. I fancy I saw a man in the water, but am not sure; several spears were thrust down in the direction of the boat; I did not hear any of them strike the boat. When the junks fired again, I saw a shot strike the water near the Police-boat.\n\n(7)\n\nT. SCOTCHBURN.\n\n[Mr May being called as a witness, said he would rather appear as a Prosecutor.]\n\nCHARLES MAY sworn,-I am Superintendent of Police. On Sunday evening the 15th about half-past 7, from information received from Mr Deputy Inspector Ryan that men in a Police-boat had been stoned by men from a junk while in the execution of their duty, I ordered two additional boats to be manned, and to act in consort with the first boat with a view of boarding the junks and inquiring into the matter; in the three boats were twenty-six men including officers and rowers, most of whom were armed, and who had fifty rounds of ammunition. On arriving near the junks I gave orders for the three boats to board simultaneously, two on the larboard, one on the starboard. My boat was in advance, and steered to the stern of the outward junk. Mr Caldwell was in a boat about ten feet to the rear of my boat. I heard him hail the junks in Chinese, and heard the apparent answers from the junks. Before arriving alongside there was firing from the junks from large and small arms, which I afterwards knew were ginjalls and matchlocks. The boat in which I was was half the length broadside into the junk. I imagined the boat was kept back by bamboos. I did not see the bamboos, it was very dark. I saw a man in the water; on looking round to save him, I did not see him; at this time I was not aware he was lost from my boat. Finding the other two boats did not get alongside, and seeing a determined resistance made, I ordered the men to back water, and directed the two other boats to keep back out of the range of fire; the two junks continued firing after our leaving. There were two Police lanterns in my boat, the light of one of which I turned on myself. I consider myself empowered by Ordinance No. 14 of 1845 clause 7 with any force I consider necessary to board any vessel by day or night in the Harbour-of course having an object in so doing; the Police-boats are in the habit of visiting boats day and night, formerly with regard to arms, in the day time with regard to the Registration, and generally to carry out the regulations of the Harbour, which devolves upon the Police, and of all incidental cases requiring Police interference. Up to Sunday last I knew of the Registrar General having power to visit boats; but not of any other person. Since then-this morning-I saw a letter of instructions to the Harbour-master directing him to visit all trading junks, and leave a copy of a Proclamation and instructions to Chinese as to their general conduct in the Harbour; which Proclamation, I may observe, is not the law, or in force by any Ordinance. These two junks are, as far as I can ascertain, Fokien boats. I subsequently examined these two junks and saw nothing that would induce me to believe them other than trading junks: one had a cargo of molasses, grain, and medicines; the other was empty. In the two vessels I found three ginjalls and four matchlocks, and evident signs of the ginjalls having been used. I heard some heavy substance thrown overboard from the junks.\n\nExamined by Mr Boura.-Our people returned the fire. The junks fired first.\n\n(8)\n\nCHARLES MAY.\n\n(10)\n\nto me or the Chief Magistrate; I did this through the medium of my Chinese boatmen. To my knowledge I have not boarded the particular junk in question; it would be impossible to distinguish one junk from the other.\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER.\n\nDANIEL RICHARD CALDWELL Sworn,-I went with Mr May on Sunday evening the 15th. I was in another boat astern of Mr May's boat; it was dark, and Mr May's boat pulled up on the outward side of one junk, the junks fired at Mr May's boat; previous to this the junkmen were making a noise as between fear and determination. I called out that we were policemen; we were about 120 feet to leeward of the junks at this time; it was blowing rather fresh, and the wind was against us. I dare say I was 20 or 30 feet from Mr May's boat. The junkmen said, as well as I could make out, that if we were police, they would beat or strike. When Mr May's boat was alongside, I saw several spears pointed into her and something fall overboard. Some one called out that a man was overboard; Mr May then backed down and told us to cease firing. I do not know if anything was said from Mr May's boat before the firing. When we first went, the junk people were quite quiet-no fighting on board. We went to the junks to take the Captain for assaulting some Europeans and resisting a Police-boat that went before. Mr May then went on board the man-of-war for assistance. I hailed the man in a broken dialect; they answered in the Chin-chew dialect. From their answer I think they knew we were police.\n\nExamined by Mr May.—I considered the junks were prepared to resist any attempt made to board them by the police or robbers. There were no junks near these two. It is common, if an attack of robbers is made, for all junks present of the same description to assist in repelling it. There were other junks anchored near these vessels; these two junks were burning papers at the stern and stern; this they would do after escaping from any danger.\n\nAll vessels, trading-boats, smugglers, and mandarins, carry boxes of stone (broken granite) to use either defensively or offensively. These junks had not a greater number of men than usual; I have heard, and believe them to be trading junks.\n\nD. R. CALDWELL.\n\n(11)\n\nVERDICT.\n\nAn inquisition indented taken for our Sovereign Lady the Queen, at the House of the No. 1 Police Station situate in Wellington Street, in the Colony of Hongkong, on the 18th day of October, in the Year of our Lord 1848, before Narcott D'Esterre Parker, gentleman, the Coroner of our said Lady the Queen for the said Colony, on view of the body of Barker Ally, then and there lying dead, upon the Oath of Charles Woollett Bowra, William Hayles Franklyn, and John Anderson, good and lawful Men of the said Colony, duly chosen, and who, being then and there duly sworn, and charged to inquire for our said Lady the Queen, when, how, and by what means the said Barker Ally came to his death, do upon their Oaths say, That Barker Ally was killed on the evening of the 15th instant by a certain person or persons unknown, in a certain Junk, while alongside the said Junk, in a boat under the orders of the Superintendant of Police, Owing to the conflicting orders regarding the boarding of junks in the Harbour, we consider the junkmen acted in this instance in resisting persons boarding them; and that in consequence their acts were excusable in resisting their Junk being boarded. In witness whereof, the said Coroner and the said Jury have hereunto set their hands and seals the 24th day of October 1848, the day to which the said Inquest stood adjourned.\n\nCHAS. W. BOWRA. Foreman.\n\nN. D'E. PARKER,\n\nMICHAEL RYAN sworn,-I am a Deputy Inspector of Police. On Sunday evening the 16th, Mr Muir lodged a complaint that some junkmen threw stones at him and some other gentlemen while in a boat. I asked him if anything previously took place between them; he said, No, that there was not the slightest provocation. The other gentlemen with him (two or three) all said much about the same; this was about half-past 7; the Police-boat under Sergeant M'Lean was going on duty; I sent two additional hands in her, and gave Sergeant M'Lean instructions to go and apprehend the Captain and officers of the junks, but not all the crews. I sent an interpreter with him, and instructed him to let the junkmen know who they were; half an hour after, Police constable Wills returned and informed me stones were thrown at the boat; I told Mr May, who told me to go to No. 1 Station and join M'Lean's boat, and to wait till he came down when we saw him, to pull out towards him. I went and pulled round the junks; they were not fighting on board the junks or making a noise at this time. I waited till Mr May came; when he came his boat was first, and went next the junk; he was within about ten yards of the junk when the junk fired; I cannot say if the gun was shotted or not. I did not hear anything said from Mr May's boat to the junk before the shot was fired; my boatmen were making a great noise. I ordered my men to fire when I heard the first shot from the junk; no one gave me the orders; it is at my discretion according to the nature of the case to fire or not. I saw Mr May's boat going from the junks, and heard a cry of \"Go back.\" When the junk fired there were stones thrown I think. After this Mr May went to the man-of-war. After Mr Muir made his complaint, he was at the door of the Station disturbing.\n\nM. RYAN.\n\nWILLIAM PEDDER sworn,-I am Harbour Master and Marine Magistrate. I hand in a copy of a letter I received from the Colonial Secretary on the 28th May 1846, which is a correct copy of the original. I distributed the Proclamations. After these were gone I distributed others; I gave some of them to the merchants and to the Hong where they frequented. I have been in the habit of boarding junks within the Harbour.\n\nExamined by Mr Boura.-When did you distribute the last Proclamations?—I can't exactly state.\n\nBy Mr Anderson.-Are you aware of any other officer boarding junks?-No; indeed by this Proclamation I thought I was the only person to do so.\n\nBy Mr May. Have you distributed any Proclamations within the last six months to the Chinese Junkmen? I cannot answer that question exactly; I kept a record at first, but do not do so now; there have been at least 40 Proclamations distributed among the junkmen. Did you in the boarding of the junks give any verbal instructions besides the Proclamation? I endeavoured as far as I could to explain the Proclamation, that is, if people molested them to bring them to me or the Chief Magistrate.\n\nCoroner.\n\nW. H. FRANKLYN.\n\nJ. N. ANDERSON.\n\nProceedings of the Inquest held on the bodies of two Chinese, killed in the affray on the 15th Instant- the Harbour 16th to 21st October, 1848.",

The scale of provisions was read out to us, and was declared to my wages were $20 per month that of the ordinary Seamen 14. We were well treated, on the first part of the trip, as far Amoy, the rations promised to us were fulfilled so far, but after sailed from Amoy towards Shaughae, the very first day out, the Captain began to lower our rations. He ordered the steward to give no more Coffee in the morning either to the Chief Officer, or to myself. He also ordered no more grog to be served out to his European officers, or to myself.\n\n3.\n\nHe began at same time to shorten the rations of the crew - they did not get enough to eat, and the Chief officer remonstrated with him (the Captain) about it, and when the Captain would not listen to him, he (the Chief Officer) had given out a piece of beef or pork, extra, on the sly [i.e. unknown to the Captain and beyond the quantity allowed]. When the ship arrived at Shaughae, we discharged her cargo, and about 20 days after we got there, we began to take in teas. Receiving this news we all (the Manilamen) went aft in a body to the quarter deck and asked the Captain where the ship was bound to. He told us to Scotland - we answered that we had shipped for a voyage on the coast of China and would not proceed beyond it. He then",

He also limited each man to one bit of biscuit for a day and four pounds of flour for 12 men for dough, and the porridge was like water. We complained of all this to the Captain, but he said we should have no more - we were under these short provisions for 18 days. At last, the people got weak and were not able to do their work. The Captain began to find fault with the Chief Mate, and the Chief Mate began to find fault with me, and all began to go wrong.\n\nI could not get the men to work; they were so weak. This lasted for fifteen days more, at length the men went aft in a body to the Captain to ask for more. They told him they should have no more work done if they had no more food. One man was sick from want of food and told me to report it to the Captain. He told me to tell the Captain that he would expect no pay while he was off duty, but prayed for some more food. The Captain refused to let him have more and said the rest of the crew, if they liked, could each of them give him a little, so as to make up enough for him. I told him the man would die. He said when he dies, we will throw him overboard. This man's name was Mariano (one of the two men acquitted on the trial). I reported the Captain's answer to the crew, and from the moment they heard his words that he would let a man...",

After the Captain and Chief Mate were killed, I ordered the ship about, upon which the second mate came aft, Lorenzo opened the cabin door and stabbed him with his knife. After being stabbed he ran into the stern cabin where the captain's wife was held by her wrists by Falerio and went to sit down on the locker beside her, but Falerio pushed him out into the cuddy, there he was struck down and killed. I don't know by whom. All the crew were in the cuddy at the moment. When they commenced the carnage, the carpenter was asleep in the long-boat on deck, the noise awoke him. He started up and ran into the Captain's cabin and there was killed. I then ordered the bodies to be thrown overboard and the cabin to be washed, and put the ship's head towards the land. Falerio then left the cabin and the Captain's wife called to the steward, Bengalu, for some wine - after she drank the wine she immediately lost her senses. We continued in this way for two days, during which no violence was offered to her. At the end of two days she came back to her mind. When we found her well again, we used her person at our will. I don't know how many of the crew abused her, several of them did so - myself amongst the number.

But on the contrary, the functions of those most official and the public matters to which they relate are so intimately connected to each other that much public advantage would arise from those functions being performed in unity.\n\nOne and the same person. Unity of system and combination of duties would thus be attained.\n\nI annex the minutes on the subject of the change in the form of government in H.K.\n\nI am afraid, however, that the thought of the policy of the original change (which is wholly unexplained in that minute) should therefore be divulged to perform.

The impact generally, as the H. B. has afforded no information on the provisions of the draft. But assuming the existence of the evils described in the correspondence annexed to this despatch, it is much to be regretted, on account of any objections \"to the precise terms\" as proposed, that the attempt to provide some practical remedy should be abandoned. It appears that regulations enforced at Gibraltar & Malta, which have been reported to be efficacious, and there are measures of a character intimately adapted to the special circumstances of Hong Kong, that could not be adopted.\n\nA scheme for similar measures has been proposed here, and I think that any information on the subject suggested by Mr. Blackwood may properly be supplied, without putting any delay on the reply.\n\nTo save time, I forward a draft despatch for your approval. Mr. West, though the Authorities in the Colony have not yet succeeded in arresting the disease, reported in despatches, has not lost any time in furnishing the Governor with all the information we possess, tending to the abatement of this disease in other Colonies, as well as abroad.\n\nMr. Collard, of the Surgeons, remarks that any attempt to put down prostitution would be an absurdity. But to prevent the Venereal disease, or to control it, is as justifiable for a Government as to prevent or control Cholera; and nothing but false modesty prevents us from putting new brothels for prostitutes under efficient medical police surveillance.\n\nMr. W.W. at 14.020, 343, suggests that the Board of Health would assist in this object. As his Governor has no plan, which he will carry out at a definite time, and again report progress, I think we should not wait, but act at once.\n\nSee 8342 on this subject, dated 11 June. AB Aff. y baper/55.\n\nTo Mr. Merivale\n\nIn the first place, the reports herein enclosed show that this evil, as it is in Hong Kong, is really formidable. It may be remarked that not merely in France and other Continental States, but in the Portuguese settlement of Macao, and also in the British Station of Malta in the Mediterranean, this system of regulation of prostitution is adopted. A question at the Committee required Authorities on the subject.\n\nAt the Committee, Sir John Borring, the Attorney General, prepared an Ordinance, and I think it would be better understood worldwide that such measures have been done.\n\nPage 343\n\n...\n\nAB Aff. y baper/55.\n\nAv.

Let's reformat it into proper Markdown and then into HTML as per the instructions.\n\n## Step 1: Correcting OCR Output\nThe given text appears to be a jumbled version of a historical document. Let's first try to make sense of it and correct the obvious errors.\n\n## Step 2: Reordering and Correcting Text\nUpon closer inspection, it seems like the text is from a letter or dispatch from the Foreign Office to Lord Wodehouse regarding the emigration of Chinese on board British ships.\n\n## Step 3: Applying Corrections\nLet's correct the text:\n- \"27 Ser\" to \"27 September\"\n- \"BE G\" is unclear, possibly \"Foreign Office\" or another abbreviation\n- \"M. Wisk\" is unclear\n- \"27 afl\" is unclear, possibly a date or reference\n- \"Line 3961. Hong Kong\" seems to be a reference or dispatch number\n- \"LS.\" could be \"LS\" (Locus Sigilli, indicating a seal)\n- \"Lad Wodehone\" to \"Lord Wodehouse\"\n- \"Ellian\", \"Ball\", \"Meniale W\", \"30 gi\", \"гария\", \"ti\", \"es Firstant\", \"la Palmerston\" are unclear or incorrect, possibly names or parts of sentences\n- \"W.M.\" could be a date or initials\n- \"26 April 105\" is likely \"26 April 1855\" given the context\n\n## Step 4: Formatting\nGiven the context, the text appears to be the beginning of a formal letter or dispatch.

H. CARVALHO, Secretary\n\nHongkong, 20th January, 1857.\n\nTo the Editor of the \"HONGKONG REGISTER.\"\n\nMACAO, 1st February, 1857.\n\nDEAR SIR—The 10 mandarins, who came from Shang-hae, have been here for a few hours, and having taken their dinner at Cau-qa hong, embarked in the ensuing for Casa Branca, and from there to Yan-san and Cass feathers; and 5 of them bare blue buttons. Two of the mandarins have red buttons and peso sent to Caatho to assist Yeh—and it is said, that two of them were formerly in Canton in the time of the first war with Commissioner Lin.\n\n\"Every thing here is quiet, but I say in the harbour a good many mandarin junks displaying a varying flag. Though people are at this time they cannot do any harm here, I would question, that. What could we do prevent their attacking this place and carrying away the heads of the English that are living here?\n\nI am, &c,\n\nThe Hongkong Register.\n\nHONGKONG, TUESDAY, 3 FEBRUARY, 1857.\n\nNOTICE—The Hours of Posting Wrons in the CENTRAL POST OFFICE, Hollywood Road, are on the Subirth at 11 am, and stand on the Evening of every Wednesday at 7 o'clock.\n\nSIXTY.\n\nWe recorded a pedestrian feat last week —walking to the top of Victoria Peak and back six times in twenty-four hours. The same gentleman did the same task this week in twelve hours, which shows, speaking in all honor and praise, that he is an artful dodger; for the latter feat though apparently more difficult, is in reality easier.\n\nProof—a friend of ours went up and down in fifty-seven minutes.—say one hour at four miles. Four times six's twenty-four; and good steady walking, making the trip equal to twenty-four miles in twelve hours is not very great walking.\n\nTaking all the difficulties into account on an undertaking like this is more easily carried through at one heat than in two, we have no doubt that with, or, from what we hear, without halting, the gentleman who has done the six times could easily do the eight if he set his mind on it.\n\nWe have been trying to persuade our ... C. to put himself in training and try the feat—but he says he has been once to the gap and considers that enough is as good as a feast.\n\nNo. 5. FEBRUARY 3, 1857.\n\nThe climate of London is one thing, and the climate of Hongkong is quite another.\n\na more material matter than that of Hongkong, we must decidedly feel of any corps being sent away from this place.\n\nAn urgent necessity exists for augmenting and making the most effective part of the regular police force here, many of whom do their duty conscientiously to the best of their ability—but the superintendence of London is one thing: and the superintendence in Hongkong is another.\n\nThe screw Steamer Sir James Brooke left this at noon yesterday to Hongkong, having on board three companies of Sepoys, a detachment of European Artillery-men, for service in China, despatched on the requisition at the hands of Hongkong.\n\nThe troops consisted of two companies the 29th M. N. I., the European Artillery-men, Pang, and the Company of the Rifle Company accompanying this force are Major Cheslett, Captain Cazalet, Lieut. Foote, and Passingham of the gun, Capt. Man, Lieut. Forster of the Madras Artillery, Dr. Lloyd, Assistant Surgeon, Apothecary Edwards and Sub-Conductor Ball.\n\nThe Sir James Brooke has been chartered for Twelve thousand dollars.\n\nFrom these and other causes which might be specified Hongkong is not in effect London, and a system which may do very well at the latter place may require important modifications at the former.\n\nWe can never obtain the same raw material for a police here as obtainable in London, but we certainly, both in ordinary and in extraordinary times, such as the present, can make the most of our raw—excessively raw material.\n\nFirst: we would make the men effective by putting them on duty for a four hours beat; and if that could not be done conveniently from the central police station, we would do it from three stations—East, West, and Central.\n\nThe S.S. Auckland brought about 100 tons of shot, shell and ammunition from Pinang last week, which will be sent to China as soon as possible.\n\nBraitonore crew Pressa, Jan. 22.\n\nOn the arrival of the Mail at 6.30 PM of Sunday the 1st February we did, for the convenience of our subscribers, what we have not done before—viz: apply for a pass for two coolies to carry the respective Papers, which will secure early delivery.\n\nTwo passes were granted dated 10th January good for 21 days, the time expiring on the 31st January. Of course the 1st February was beyond the pale of the pass but coming direct from the Superintendent of Police we deemed it all right, thinking that police matters were going on in their usual cuddle.\n\nIn this belief the passes were on the night of the 2nd instant given to two of our Chinese Compositors to take them home, and we were somewhat astonished on being awakened at half past twelve, and informed, that our men were in custody.\n\nWe went down to the police office, and there we found the authorities pondering over the passes, and wondering to see the names of the boys written in red pencil, that being the color of the printing of the new passes.\n\nWe explained that a red pencil is a very common article in a printing office and that the names had been written in with that; then on making ourselves responsible for the lads we saw them let go.\n\nMARRIAGE.\n\nAt Belgrave-square, on the 24th November, the wife of Admiral Sir T. COCHRANE, of a Son.\n\nAt Victoria, Cox, ELIZABETH SANDERS.\n\nMarriage Register xi:10.\n\nON SUNDAY, the 1st instant, the P. & O. Co.'s steamer Cadiz arrived with the English mails of 10th Dec.; from Singapore 24th, Penang 21st, Chusan 9th and Bombay 1st January.\n\nThe general news from Europe are of a most uninteresting description: and they are our readers have had them in the Extra we delivered on the arrival of the mail.\n\nThe Cadiz brings on:-\n\nOPIUM—For Cumsingmoon,.....875 chests,\n\nHongkong, 216\n\nWunsung.......435\n\nTotal—1581 chests,\n\nTREASURE\n\nFor Hongkong 459,965 dollars\n\nShanghai 479,697\n\nCanton 29,072\n\nTotal—1,126,831 dollars\n\nSTOCK OF TEA IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, November 30, 1856.\n\nLondon\n\n...t. 86,786,000 19,115,000\n\nercel...\n\nHull and other English Ports\n\nFaith and\n\nGlas other Foreign Ports\n\nIreland...\n\nStock, 30th November, 1856..\n\ndo, do. 1855.\n\n1,000,000 2,000,000 2,933,000 1,130,000\n\n1,700, una\n\n.67,214,009\n\nSome doubt having been felt in the trade as to when the next reduction of the duty on tea would come into operation, an inquiry was sent to the Board of Customs: the Board stated in reply, that on the 6th of April next the duty will be reduced from 1s. 9d to 1s. 3d. per pound.—one News.\n\nCHINA SHIPPING.\n\nArrivals.\n\nAt London, November 12, Orient from Shang-hae: 21.

This union of HANGGON, PERANG, SINGAPORE, and in CHINA.\n\nqualities is fabled in their national legend of “Beauty and the Beast,\" yr, long before, in the Greek legend of Hermaphrodite. \"The two sexes are co-prezent in the English wind. I apply to Britannia, queen of seas and colonies, the words in which her latest novelist portrays his heroine: \"ake la as mild as she is game, and as game as she is mild.\" The English delight in the un- taganden which comhlars in one person the extremes of courage and tenderness. Nelson, dying at Trafalgar, sends his love to Lord Collingwood, and, like an inco- eent schoolboy that goes to bed, says, \"Kiss me Hardy,\" und turns to sleep. Lord Collingwood, his comrade, was of a nature the most affectionate and domestic. Admiral Rudney's figure approached to delicacy med effeminary, and he declared himself very sensible to fen, which he surmounted only by considerations of honour and public duty. Clarradan says, the Duke of Buckingham was so modest and gentle, that some com tiers altempted to put effrouts on him, until they found that this modesty and effeminacy was only a wark for the most terrible determination. And Sir James Perry said, the other day, of Sir Joha Franklin, that, \"If he found Wellington Sound open, he explored it; for he was a man who never turned his back on a danger, yet of that tenderness, that he would not brush away a Mon- quito,\" Even for tusir highway men the same virtues is elclmued, and Robin Hued tomes described to us an altissimus prædimum, the gentlest thief. But they know where their war.dogs le Crowell, Blake, Maribo- rough, Chatham, Nelson, and Wellington are not to be trified with, and the brutal strength which lies of the hottem of society, the animal ferocity of the quays and Cockpits, the builies of the costernongers of Shoreditch, Seven Dials, and Spitalfields, they know how to wake up. They have a vigorous health, and inst well into middle and old age.

        "content_text": "# TENTH DAY\n## Wednesday, 16th June, 1858, at 12 o'clock Noon\n\nPresent,—All the Members.\n\n### A. L. INGLIS,--Recalled.\n\n(28)\n\nThe brothel of which I spoke to the Commission as the one in which I saw Mrs Caldwell, was situate in Taipingshan. I am not sure whether the whole of the houses had been removed from the Choong Wan at this time, but I am quite clear as to the situation of this house. I went to this brothel purposely to see the intended Mrs Caldwell, and this was the first occasion on which I did see her. I do not know anything about a formal marriage according to Chinese usage between this girl and Mr Caldwell. The first time I knew of Mrs Caldwell living with Mr Caldwell, Mr Caldwell resided at the Gaol. This may have been two or three weeks, or two or three months from the time I saw her at the brothel. I do not recollect now in what other place Mr and Mrs Caldwell resided after they left the Gaol, and before they went to the bungalow called \"Retreat.\" I do not recollect Mrs Caldwell's mother.\n\nwas watched by another interpreter; and further, that I would not now believe him on his oath.\n\nCross-examined,--On the 10th June instant, he was charged before me with receiving goods, which had been stolen about the 30th May, and was discharged because the prosecutor was a convicted felon, a notoriously bad character, and bore the marks of former floggings. The principal witness also failed to appear. I allowed the prosecutor's fellow-convict to go out with a Policeman, to find the man who the prosecutor said had gone with him to Assow's house—but he could not find him.\n\n### D. R. CALDWELL\n\nCross-examined,--I continued to pay the $50 a-month to Lum Ateen, up to the last day of the tenth Chinese month [14th December, 1857]. He himself has since then received the rent. I do not know what has become of the mesne assignments of the lots sold to Lum Ateen. I may have them still, but do not know. They were in Chinese. There was no deed or conveyance by which I surrendered my property in 1857 for the benefit of my creditors; it was done in a private manner, and I refer the commission to Siemssen & Co.'s letter. The title deeds of the property sold to pay my debts were not given up to Siemssen & Co., because they were mortgaged to Chinese creditors. The deeds relating to the lots sold to Woods, except lot 263, were also mortgaged, but were given up to the purchaser, upon Siemssen & Co.'s guarantee that the mortgagee would receive his share of the purchase money.\n\nCross-examined,--The time of my seeing Mrs Caldwell must certainly have been in 1844. I joined the Police Department in March 1844, and it was shortly after this that I saw her. I do not recollect Mrs Caldwell's being confined. Mrs Caldwell only lived in the Gaol a fortnight or three weeks. She then left because Awoon, (a Chinese woman who had previously lived with Mr Caldwell,) returned. It was not my impression that Mrs Caldwell was married to Mr Caldwell according to Chinese usage, because it is not customary in such cases; there was nothing whatever in her manner to denote that she was married; she was dressed as a Chinese.\n\nI recollect accompanying Mr and Mrs Caldwell to a picnic, which was about, but certainly after, the time of that visit. Mrs Caldwell, so far as I can recollect, was never in my house for at least a year-and-a-half after this time. I recollect her having been in my house in the Old Bailey, after my return from Check-chu.\n\n### WILLIAM HENRY MITCHELL,--Called and examined.\n\nI am Assistant Magistrate of Police. I knew Assow, the Police Court Interpreter, before he joined the Chief Magistrate's Office. I think he joined the office either at the end of 1855, or beginning of 1856, but am not certain as to the time. I recollect his being charged with perjury before me, in June 1855. It arose out of a case in which he had been to a certain extent a party concerned. I recollect discharging the case on the grounds of conflicting evidence, but was not satisfied that he had exculpated himself from the charge, and I believe I said I should not in future believe him on his oath. I think I could not have said I should not allow him to interpret for me, because he was not at that time attached to the office. I wish also to state to the Commission, that I have never since allowed him to interpret for me in important cases, when I could avoid it, unless when he was required to do so by the proceedings.\n\n### D. R. CALDWELL (Continued)\n\nI sold all my landed property under Siemssen & Co.'s directions—for account of the estate, and the purchase money was paid over to Siemssen & Co. I could never have mortgaged any of these lots twice over, because I had not possession of the leases. I cannot remember the numbers of the lots mortgaged, but the names of the mortgagees are Wong Cheeyun, Lum Ateen, and Low Ashü. I do not know in what way Mrs Caldwell may be speculating beyond what she tells me. Supposing she wished to deceive me, it is possible she might speculate in brothel property. She has invested money of her sister's in houses. I can state on my honour, that she has, to my knowledge, no connection nor interest of any kind, in any brothel property, or any houses to which prostitutes resort.\n\nI never heard or was aware of any rumours of Mrs Caldwell's coming from a brothel, and no one would have dared to tell me so.\n\nI was never in the house in which my wife lived up to the time of my marriage. I am quite certain that this house was not a brothel, because at that time I knew most of the brothels here, and that was not one. It was also to be a family house. In April and May 1844, I lived in the Gaol. When I speak of my wife living with me, I mean that she lived in a private house which I kept for her; she did not live in the Gaol with me.\n\nI recollect Boyle who was Deputy Inspector of Police, and formerly master of the lorcha Centaur. I cannot recollect having ever had a contest in the street with Inspector Boyle concerning Mrs Caldwell.\n\nI once brought up a Chinaman before the Police Court, for insulting Mrs Caldwell in the street.\n\nI generally know to within $10 what money Mrs Caldwell has of mine, as I have nothing but my monthly salary; but I do not know what she has of her sister's. I still pay $70 a-month regularly to Siemssen & Co. on account of Mr Riensecker, which leaves me $260 a-month.\n\n### WONG APING,--Called and examined.\n\nor 6th moon of 6th year of Hien-fung, [about June or July 1856]. During the time I have been Tepo she has not lived in Hillier Street. I do not know of her having kept a brothel. While she was living in Lee Kip-taï's house, I know that she did not keep a brothel.\n\n### YIP AWONG,--Called and examined.\n\nI am collector of rents of the row of houses opposite the Taicheong Hong in Hillier Street; and collect them for Lee Kip-tai. I know a female called Shaplok. I have collected the rents since 1852. Shaplok occupied one of these houses from 1852 to 1854. She has not occupied it since 1854. She occupied it as a family residence, and I am quite certain not as a brothel. I do not know where she removed to in 1854.\n\n### SOONG AHING,--Called and examined.\n\nI am a Rope-maker, and reside opposite the Circular Buildings, Queen's Road West. I know a Chinese female called Shaplok, and have known her a long time. She lives in my house, and has done so since the beginning of the 7th moon of the 6th year of Hien-fung [about July, 1856]. She is married; her husband has gone to Shanghae. She has no occupation, and is supported by her husband. She has never since she lived in my house kept a brothel, or used the rooms she occupies as such. I do not know whether she has ever kept a brothel. Before she came to my house she lived in Wellington Street, in Lee Kip-tai's house; but I do not know how long she lived there. She removed to my house because Lee Kip-tai's house was pulled down.\n\nCross-examined,--Lee Kip-tai was engaged in the Tientsin trade. The house Shaplok lived in was nearly opposite the Old Central Police Station. Shaplok went to Canton about the middle of April last, not the middle of May. I do not know if she is in any way connected with Mr Caldwell.\n\n### MARY AYOW CALDWELL,--Called and examined.\n\nMy maiden name was Chun Ayow. I am the wife of Mr Caldwell. I came to this colony in the 22d year of Taoukwang-1842. I was then a child, and came with my mother to visit some relations. My mother was called by others Tuk-fook-p'o. I have one elder sister named Chun Atsoo, whose residence is in Macao. She has been here three times on a visit. Atsoo is my sister by blood. I know Shaplok, and saw her mother when a child. Shaplok's mother and mine were sworn sisters. This does not, according to Chinese usage, make me and Shaplok sisters. There is no other connection between myself and Shaplok. According to Chinese usage, even good friends call themselves brothers and sisters.\n\nWhen I came with my mother, I lived a few months in a house in Sheong Wan, and I afterwards lived in Choong Wan, where I lived until I was married to Mr Caldwell. My mother and Shaplok lived in that house, and another person called Ayee. Mangtai did not live with them. He is the god-son of my mother; as my mother had no son, a relation gave her his son, whom my mother adopted. The lower part of the house was occupied by a tailor, and the upper part by a singing master and partly by myself and Shaplok as a family residence. From the time I lived in the house, till I left it as Mr Caldwell's wife, it was never a brothel. I was first married after the Chinese fashion to Mr Caldwell, in the end of the 23d year of Taoukwang-1843; all the ceremonies necessary according to Chinese usage to constitute a valid marriage, were adopted on that occasion. The ceremony was performed in a house belonging to Achow, in which I afterwards resided, and took place before I went to live with Mr Caldwell. I considered myself in all respects the wife of Mr Caldwell.\n\n### FOONG AFU, Tepo of Sheong Wan [Victoria west],—Called and examined.\n\nI know Mr Inglis, the Governor of the Gaol, and first saw him in the beginning of the 24th year of Taoukwang-1844, three or four months after my marriage with Mr Caldwell. I remember upon that occasion we went on a picnic party to Chek-chu. I am quite certain that I never saw Mr Inglis before. Mr Inglis never came to the house in which I resided before my marriage; no foreigner was allowed to enter it. Hillier Street is in my district. Before I was Tepo, I was Sergeant of Police. I have been Tepo since the 8th month of the 6th year Hien-fung, [September 1856]. I have known Shaplok four years. In 1852 she lived in Peel Street, and I saw her in Lee Kip-tai's house, about the 5th month of the 6th year of Hien-fung [about June 1856].",

The text contains a mix of English, Arabic, and other scripts, with some recognizable phrases and words, such as \"Die 18 Notinten,\" \"the Secretary of State,\" and \"Ordinance for Salvage.\"\n\nTo proceed with the proofreading task as per the given instructions, I will attempt to identify coherent sections and apply the rules.\n\nFirst, let's identify and isolate the English text that can be proofread:\n\n\"Die 18 Notinten.

Nos of 1857\" can be corrected to \"Escorting instructions respecting the allowance or disallowance of the best Adr. Nos of 1857.\"\n\n\"intituled 'be Ordinanc for Salvage and qui enterin Cores\" can be corrected to \"intituled 'An Ordinance for Salvage and ... entering ...'\"; \"qui\" is likely a misrecognition, possibly of \"any\" or another word.\n\n\"That Ardesian bri (ar gum Law Offers! Orige puity conside) at varsin with the an Imperial Prabuli, carnat le allowed to remain in\" is heavily corrupted; a possible correction could be \"That Ordinance being (or some Law Officers originally considered) at variance with an Imperial Proclamation, cannot be allowed to remain in.\"\n\nAfter applying corrections and considering the rules for proofreading OCR output:\n\nDie 18 Notinten. De Sargeant... becomes \"Died 18 November. The Sergeant...\" or a similar correction based on context.\n\nA corrected and formatted version of the identifiable English text could be:\n\n\"Died 18 November. The Sergeant... the date of this CD 5045... I... 134 am cited & the Secretary of State to acknowledge... No 29 of the 19... to last.

I am,\n\nYour obedient Servant,\n\nsigned, **L. MARQUIS,**\n\nProcurador.\n\nThe above is appended to a copy of the letter, and sealed with wax and official stamp.\n\nTrue copy\n\n**W. TARRANT.**\n\nEnclosure marked B.\n\nMacao 19th February 1862.\n\n**L. Marquis Esq., Procurador.**\n\nSIR,-Having reference to the various enquiries which I have made at your office lately, and of yourself on the subject of the narrative which you sent to the Editor of the Daily Press on the 5th March 1860, and, as I have shown you, bound up in an appendix to Minutes of enquiry into Civil service abuses before the Executive Council of the Hongkong Government; and more particularly regarding Mr. Caldwell's reply to your letter of the 29th of February, of date the 10th of March 1860, bound up in the same volume, I shall feel obliged if you will append to this letter (which I send in duplicate) a certificate of your appreciation of my having correctly understood your and the other statements.\n\nCommencing with the 10th printed paragraph of the letter, on the 35th page of the appendix-you say that you deny that it was proved to you that the five men whom Mr. Caldwell relieved from their contracts were kidnapped. When the men found that by saying they did not want to go they could be released, they said so; and you opine that every contract coolie in Macao would make a similar statement, though that would not prove that they were kidnapped.\n\nAs to para 12 on the same page,-Had the informer pointed your attention at the time to the man whom he said was one of the brokers that came from Hongkong with the 45 Coolees, you would have apprehended him-But neither did he then nor subsequently; and when you found that the informer was an impostor, you came to the conclusion that his assertion of having seen such a person at all was of a piece with the rest of his conduct.\n\nAs regards paras 15 and 16 on page 30, in which Mr. Caldwell speaks of inaccuracies on your part in the statement of what he told you when he first came over regarding the Coolees,-while adhering to your impression on the subject, and now believing that you were intentionally misled, you say that it matters not whether the informer were or were not a policeman after he reached Hongkong from Macao. What was clear to you was that the informer lied when he said that he had been confined in the Sun-fook-tie hong, and that he was one of three that had escaped in the month of December. The names of the men who so escaped, as shown by the Register of coolees who had signed contracts, and were intended to go in the Emilie Pireire, were Leon Ao-an of Hoi-ping, Le Ahee of Chau-choon, and Sun Acum of Fu-yen. These men were received in October, and escaped on the first of December; whereas the informer called himself Asoong, and to have been one of the 45 from Hongkong for whom Mr. Caldwell affected to seek, could not have been in the Hong at the date of the escape in question; the said 45, according to the story, only reaching Macao on the 27th of December.\n\nAs to para 18 on the same page, you adhere to your statement that the informer said four of his companions were at the Barracoon at St. Antonio.\n\nAs regards para 21 on the 36th page, touching the Coolee brought from the St. Lourenço barracoon and released by Mr. Caldwell, you say this man was undoubtedly an impostor, for the contract which he had signed bears date the 6th of December; and you supply me with an attested copy of this contract viz No. 154, between Chong Afa and Messrs. Morales & Co. You also furnish to me attested copies of the contracts of the four others released by Mr. Caldwell; and you notice that Kwon-sun-Kwan who corroborated Asoong's evidence at the Supreme Court on the trial of Shum Ahing, is not the name of either of the five men taken from Macao by Mr. Caldwell.\n\nAs to para 22 on the same page, in which Mr. Caldwell speaks of the consistency of the statements of the Coolees so brought to you with that of the informer, who Mr. Caldwell said had had no possible means of concerting with the others to make up the story, you point out that, as it is proved by the evidence of J. Fernandes, of D. Xavier, of F. B. da Luz, of C. G. da Silva, of Cheang Achan and of others, that the informer was a Coolee broker on his own admission, the supposition that the story could not have been concerted fails; for, as a broker, Asoong had free access to all the barracoons, going in and out whenever he pleased;",

By the evidence of Mr. Boyé (enclosure marked C)† the thirty-two that went from the Sun-fook-tie hong to the Emilie Pireire could not have been of the forty-five taken from Hongkong. Further, as Asoong declared that he saw the thirty-two whom Mr. Caldwell sought in a boat after landing on the 21st, these men could not have gone in the Emilie Pireire, because the Captain of the lurt certifies (enclosure marked D) that he cleared the Emilie Pireire with 150 Coolers on board. This clearance must have been before three P.M. of the 21st of January, as the Steamer, with Asoong and Mr. Caldwell on board, reached Macao late in the day. I rely very strongly on this part of the evidence on Shum Abing's behalf, and trust His Excellency will give attentive consideration to it.\n\nAs to point 3—Whether the five men released were really five of the forty-five said to have been kidnapped—I respectfully submit that, from the circumstance of neither of them having been examined at the Courts here, there has been no proof one way or the other. And as respects the man Chong Afa, one of the five, the copy of whose contract I append, with copies of the others (enclosure marked E) it is clear from the date, 6th December, that he could not have been one of the forty-five; for they, with their comrades, only left Kupchee for Hongkong (where they were sent adrift) on that identical day.\n\nAs to point 4—Whether Kwon-sun-kwan were also an Impostor—I conclude this to be proved by the certified contracts of the men actually released at Macao. His name does not appear in either of them.\n\nAs to point 5—Whether Caldwell were aware of the impostorship of the men put forward as witnesses—I can but conclude, after what Mr. Marquis says in the letter before referred to (A and B) and what Delfino Xavier depones as to Caldwell speaking to the Impostor in a low voice, and telling him he must assert that he was a Coolee that had escaped, and not a broker, (see enclosure marked F) and also relying on what Cheang Aebun depones that he heard the Informer admit in Mr. Caldwell's presence that he was a broker, not a Coolee that had escaped*—I can come to no other conclusion, I repeat, than that Caldwell was well aware of the impostorship, and in fact prompted it.\n\nBesides, the conduct of Caldwell toward myself, in publishing an assertion by the Governor of the gaol, Scott, that I had been on terms of great intimacy with Shun Ahing in the gaol; and in another part of the pamphlet which he has issued, intituled his defence, charging me with having induced† Shun Abing to write the statement which eventually led to his examination by the Executive Council; this conduct alone—so reckless, so foundationless—is sufficient to inspire me with the most certain assurance of the gravity and basis of his conspiracy.\n\nAnd while speaking on this subject, I would draw His Excellency's attention to the declarations of Ritchie and others (Enclosure marked I‡).\n\nIn solemn truth, I do not think I have seen Shum Abing, to notice him distinctly from others, half a dozen times in my life (excepting from such half a dozen times a period when he was locked up in a cell on the misdemeanants' side of the prison by order of the surgeon, when, during part of one day, I could not help seeing him several times as I passed, and I spoke to him through the grating of the door).\n\nI can name the times when I so saw him. First, while he was on remand, when he sent to ask me to speak to him in the presence of Turnkey during the few minutes that the remanded prisoners were led out to wash themselves at the yard pump. This was on the 23rd of January, 1860. The circumstance is noted in my diary, or a remanded...\n\n## 327\n\nThis is the precious concoction of the confederates.—\n\n### D. R. CALDWELL to J. SCOTT.\n\nVICTORIA, 23rd March, 1861.\n\nDEAR SIR,—With reference to our conversation to-day on the subject of Mr. Tarrant's tummy with Sha Alling in Gaol during the time the latter was a Prisoner on the Criminal side of the Gaol, and Mr. Marrow's visit to the Gaol, I have put down here the substance of what you said, as far as my recollection serves me.\n\nYou said that during the time Mr. Tarrant was in the Criminal Gaol, you had on several occasions observed his great intimacy with Shunt Ahing, and the frequent close conversations he had with him, that you had observed, on more than one occasion, Mr. Tarrant conversing with Shum Abing in the most friendly way, with his arm around Shum Ahing's neck; that as Mr. Tarrant had complained to the authorities of being placed with Criminals, you thought it was strange that Mr. Tarrant should be on such friendly terms with one of the prisoners, and that you had more than once suspected...\n\nSigned D. R. CALDWELL.\n\n### J. SCOTT to D. R. CALDWELL.\n\n25th March, 1861.\n\nDEAR SIR—Your statement of the substance of our conversation on the 23rd instant, is correct, and I am ready to verify the same.\n\nSigned J. SCOTT.\n\n* See page 10 ante.—\n* See page 15 ante.—\n* See page 18 ante.—\n$ See page 19 ante.\n| See pages 12 and 21 ante.—\n* See pages 12 and 22 ante.—\n+ See page 114 of the Minutes, and page 58 of \"the defence.\"— \n+ See page 24 ante.—",

Arrangements for Convicts' labor and mode of enforcing the same and effecting security.\n\nThe detachments of Convicts for labor shall be told off, so that each detachment be composed of Convicts having consecutive numbers. A Turnkey or European Constable and a proportionate number of Indian Constables shall be sent in charge of each detachment of Convicts, and mat huts of a readily moveable construction shall be erected near the places of labor for the protection of the Turnkeys and Police. The European Constable or Turnkey in charge of each labor detachment shall have a memorandum of the numbers of the Convicts forming the detachment. Once every hour a signal shall be given from the Convict Hulk by hoisting a yellow flag, upon which the said European Constable or Turnkey in charge shall assemble his particular detachment, (the Convicts falling into line in numerical order,) and ascertain that it is correct. The Convicts on board the Convict Hulk shall \"fall in\" at the same hourly signal, and the sick and Hospital attendants ascertained to be present.\n\nThe summary of this rule is that in addition to the general Inspections, once in each hour every Convict shall be under observation and ascertained to be present.\n\n14. Duties on board Convict Hulk during the day. When the whole of the Convicts for labor on shore have been conducted ashore, the Warden or Head Turnkey shall proceed to examine the Convict's cells, and ascertain that every Convict and every article belonging to the Convicts have been removed, after which the Convicts set apart for the purpose shall cleanse the lower and main decks: this must be completed by 10 A.M. at which time the Superintendent of the Hulk, after examination of the lower and main decks, shall see that the upper deck grating is locked, the key thereof being deposited in his Office, and the said grating shall not be unlocked (excepting for special cause) until the time of locking up.\n\nPage 11\n\nA certain number of Convicts shall be employed on board the Convict Hulk as cooks for the Gaol Staff and Police, but the number of these, and of those employed in cleaning the Hulk shall be limited so that idleness on board is prevented. Those employed as cooks shall be called upon to cleanse their respective galleys and cooking utensils, and the quarters of those for whom they cook.\n\nThe following shall be inviolable rules: firstly, no Convict with the exception of the two or three employed as cooks for the Superintendent and Officers aft, shall go aft of the barricade in the waist of the vessel, and secondly all the Convicts excepting those in Hospital shall be locked up in their cells at or before 6 P.M.\n\n15. Reception of Rations from the Contractor. The Superintendent of the Hulk shall personally satisfy himself that the Rations are delivered in proper quantity and quality.\n\nThe Clerk, Interpreter and Warden shall invariably be present and receive the Rations, taking account of weight, &c.\n\n16. Issue of Rations to the Convicts.\n\nThe issue of Rations shall be conducted so that each Convict shall receive his provisions hot and in a cleanly and comfortable manner. Each Convict shall have supplied to him a tin dish for rice, a tin plate for fish or vegetable and a tin pint pot for tea. The manner of issuing the Rations shall be as follows: the Convicts having been\n\nPage 24",

T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.**\n\n## NOTICE\n\nEMIGRATION OFFICE, HONGKONG, 20th December, 1860.\n\nWhereas much ignorance prevails in this Port as to the Law and Regulations affecting Chinese Passenger Ships leading to perpetual reference, by Ship Masters and Merchants, to the Emigration Officer, for information on matters of ordinary detail and standing Rule: and whereas the Laws and Regulations alluded to are contained in various Imperial Acts, Local Ordinances and Proclamations and decisions of the Emigration Commissioners on matters arising out of the working of the system since it came into force:---(some of which documents are not easily procurable by the parties interested) it is therefore considered expedient by the Emigration Officer to publish in a condensed form the Rules in force in this Port relating to all Private Chinese Passenger Ships and Passengers, and as far as the provisions of the Imperial Act are concerned, to Ships chartered by a British Government Emigration Agent.\n\nAny vessel clearing with more than 20 Asiatic Passengers, on any Voyage of more than 7 days duration, is a \"Chinese Passenger Ship\" under the Act.\n\n1. The Ship laid on for passengers, the Master will notify the Emigration Officer by Letter of the fact, specifying the estimated number of passengers she can carry by Surveyor's Certificate, her destination, and the name of the Licensed Passage Broker employed.\n\nNote. After which, the Emigration Officer will take an early opportunity to inspect Ship.\n\n3. When the full quantity of passengers' provisions is on board the Master shall notify the Emigration Officer of the fact, who will as soon as possible thereafter, go off and inspect them.\n\nNote. The provisions must be all placed in the Tween decks or on the Upper deck, and not be stowed away in the Hold, until after inspection.\n\n9. When the Ship is ready to receive the passengers on board the Passage Broker will bring a written notice to that effect from the Master, when a time will be fixed for the attendance of the passengers at this Office to have their contract passage tickets explained and signed, in the presence of the Broker or his deputy.\n\nNote. This notice must be given at least 24 hours before the passengers appear at this Office, and on the same day the Master, with two approved sureties, will attend and execute the Bond under Section 1 of the Chinese Passenger Act 1855, and deposit the following documents :--\n\n1. Government Surveyor's Certificate of measurement and seaworthyness,\n2. Master's Certificate relative to Chinese Doctor (provided he fails in securing an European Surgeon for a reasonable remuneration.)\n3. Certificate under the Chop seals of two Chinese apothecary's Shops, vouching for competency of Doctor.\n4. List of provisions and medicines, according to the scale laid down in the Act, signed by the Master.\n5. Certificate of a resident Physician that he has examined the medicines, that they are good, and in accordance with the requirements of the Act.\n6. Passenger List in duplicate, with a Summary attached, specifying the numbers respectively of, Passengers under the Act, Cabin passengers, Crew, including Master and all persons on Ship's Articles; shewing total number of souls on board. Signed by Master.\n\nNote. Chinese Cooks, Stewards, Interpreter, Doctor, &c. are invariably passengers, berthed and fed with the others, although borne by Law on the Ship's Articles, for purposes of discipline. In future, their names, with their rating on board, will appear at the end of the passenger lists, and they will be included in the gross number that the ship can carry, but numerically they will be entered, as heretofore, under the head of \"Crew on Ship's Articles.\" About 4 Cooks and Stewards to every 100 passengers has been the rule.\n\n4. Either at this time or after the passengers are collected on board they must be inspected individually by a resident Surgeon, who must also inspect the Crew and give his Certificate that, none appear, by reason of any bodily or mental disease, unfit to proceed, or likely to endanger the health or safety of other persons about to proceed, in such Vessel.\n\n5. The Master will give notice when all the passengers are on board and when he wishes to clear for Sea.\n\nNote. The Broker must personally assure himself that every passenger is on board and report to that effect, after which the Emigration Officer will proceed on board, muster and count the passengers, and make a final inspection of the Ship.\n\nAfter this is done, and not before, the Ship is at liberty to shift her berth, if it is desired; the Master mentioning the fact to the Harbor Master; who will then deliver to him his Emigration Papers and Port Clearance.\n\nIn the fitting up and equipment of Chinese Passenger Ships the following general Rules will obtain\n\n1. Ships with full complement of passengers, shall carry boats according to the following scale, of size and description approved by the Emigration Officer :--\n\n| Registered Tons | Number of Boats |\n| --- | --- |\n| Less than 200 | 3 |\n| 200 to 400 | 4 |\n| 400 to 600 | 5 |\n| 600 to 1,000 | 5 |\n| 1,000 to 1,500 | 6 |\n| 1,500 and upwards | 6 |\n\nNote. In every case one boat must be a properly fitted Life boat, and one a Long boat.\n\n2. Ships must carry at least 2 Life buoys, slung, prepared for sudden emergencies.\n\n3. In the absence of a Forcepump and Hose, reaching fore and aft, a Ship must be provided with not less than 3 dozen buckets, in case of fire.\n\n4. Every Hatchway leading into passengers' quarters must be covered by a well secured House about six feet high, having as much ventilation as is compatible with strength, and being water tight. The Hatches are not to be used during the voyage unless stress of weather demands it.\n\nNote. When women are carried, they must have a separate hatchway entrance, apart from the Males; and the Male and Female quarters must be divided by a strong bulkhead with no door or aperture in it. The Female quarters must be aft, as also the Water closets for their use.\n\n5. The Berths, Cooking cabooses, Water closets, &c., must be all properly secured; and the Master must provide himself with two or three spare rice boilers, as they are very brittle, and liable to accident.\n\n6. In the very important particular of ventilation, the Government Notification `No. 51` of the 22nd April, 1856, is republished here, being not generally known.\n\n## GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION No. 51\n\nIt is hereby notified for the information of Masters of Ships carrying Chinese Passengers, and unprovided with the improved Appliance usually found in Vessels of modern construction, and generally for the information of all interested, that in addition to a Windsail for every hatchway, it is required that a constant supply of fresh air be ensured to the between decks in bad weather, by fitting, at each end of the Space set apart for passengers, two Funnels of wood or metal, Four in all, with moveable heads, in manner following, that is to say, the body of the air Funnel to reach from underneath the lowermost deck overhead to a height of 3 or 4 feet above the uppermost deck, and to pass through holes cut for the purpose in either side of the deck, and made water-tight by a canvas coat or other suitable means.\n\nThe attention of the Emigration Officer has been called to the above regulation.\n\nBy Order,\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Victoria, Hongkong, 22nd April, 1856.\n\n**W. T. MERCER, Colonial Secretary.**",

The Pilot remarked \"that crew were stationed at the stern ports.\" The pirate getting under the stern commenced a regular fire from swivels, which was part of a general fire of muskets on board - we replied to from musketry. The pirate assailed us and not less than 150 shots were fired at us, and many stand of arms were thrown on board when the deck of the vessel was one scene of confusion. The pirate he made fight another fury [\"last night]. Captain Stanibal, the master of the vessel, made every preparation for resistance. 2 six-pounders on the main deck were loaded with round shot, three-pounders were also on the quarter deck - the muskets were brought up from below and langnet's fired the Malay fire which drove the crew aft to the fore part of the vessel - many of the pirates at this time boarding from the lorcha. The Captain shot dead in ascending was now in the rigging, the carpenter was also killed. The Chinese and the Malays no longer being able to stand on the ship's deck from the fire, now took refuge below.",

        "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.

The land thieves in Hongkong have burrowed and mined under it to such an extent, from drains and houses, that every Treasury has had to be strengthened with masses of Granite and Brick, and even then are scarcely safe. The Chinese robbers are equally ingenious and persevering, and though it may be rather anticipating danger, to presume that they may entertain the idea of seizing one of the Company's Steamers, the time has clearly arrived to provide most fully against such a Contingency.\n\nThat this state of things should be allowed to exist is the more extensive and remarkable on a Coast where Commerce is so valuable that the Company should therefore be obliged to have recourse to unusual precautions is to say the least remarkable. Facts in the present day show that really effective steps are not being taken to put an end to the evils. The disruption of the Ley Onto fleet, the Chinese Government have made no effort whatever, and the costly mismanagement of that business, for which the British Government is morally responsible, gives the Authorities at Peking something like an excuse for not incurring any further expenditure. The main check therefore is given by our Open Boats; but as they are not systematically employed for the purpose, it may easily be supposed that an occasional Cruise or Anise has but little effect on such an extensive range of scallops and haunts of the Piratical population. In fact, these vessels can scarcely be said to act, as they are only sent out to deal Vengeance after the news has been received of some capture in the vicinity of Hongkong or one of the Consular Ports. It must be admitted that they are always prompt to do this work, but the final result of such expeditions are of little value, and from recent experiences, it might be doubted that two pirates rise up in place of every one destroyed.\n\nIt is too evident that nothing short of a systematic organization for the suppression of Piracy and thoroughly carried out will eradicate this evil or render the Coast of China safe for Merchant vessels. The facilities which the Chinese now possess for procuring European arms, with their skill and...\n\nPage 61",

The corrected version should reflect this.\n\n## Step 5: Finalizing the Output\nThe final output should be in HTML format using `` for paragraphs.\n\nThe corrected text in HTML format is:\n\nThe Emigration Committee\n\nMINUTE 22\n\n424\n\n$271.\n\n2-4\n\naft\n\n319\n\n5970\n\n271\n\n29 June/67\n\nGentlemen,\n\n3\n\nSam daughter of\n\nthe Duke of Buckingham's\n\n&c.\n\nto transmit\n\na copy of\n\nan information\n\ndespatch\n\nfrom the Governor of\n\nHong Kong reporting\n\nSale by Public Auction on the 16th of a\n\nlot comprising\n\nSquare feet of\n\nLand.\n\n809\n\nthe\n\n26.482\n\nHowever, to strictly follow the format and directly output the result without the step-by-step analysis in the final response:\n\nThe Emigration Committee\n\nMINUTE 22\n\n424\n\n$271.\n\n2-4\n\naft\n\n319\n\n5970\n\n271\n\n29 June/67\n\nGentlemen,\n\n3\n\nSam daughter of\n\nthe Duke of Buckingham's\n\n&c.\n\nto transmit\n\na copy of\n\nan information\n\ndespatch\n\nfrom the Governor of\n\nHong Kong reporting\n\nSale by Public Auction on the 16th of a\n\nlot comprising\n\nSquare feet of\n\nLand.\n\n809\n\nthe\n\n26.482",

        "content_text": "## CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.\n\n### HONGKONG: FRIDAY, 26 JUNE, 1868.\n\nThe Capture of the \"Lesmona.\" The following account of the capture of the North-German barque Lesmona, has been prepared by Captain Steinicke, and will be read with some interest. The only suspicious circumstance in the affair is the statement to the effect that the Chinese passengers hoisted two lanterns in the mizzen rigging, which may or may not have been a signal to the pirates. The suffering of the captain and his crew must have been extremely painful, and the conduct of the natives of Hainan is only what may be expected from the inhabitants of such a wild coast. That the Lesmona was insufficiently armed, there is no doubt, but such an unexpected attack will doubtless teach captains of small coasting vessels to provide their ships with something better than three-pounder guns for throwing rockets.\n\nThe following is the captain's account of the affair:\n\nOn the 20th of May, 1868, we left Hongkong roads in the Lesmond, in every way seaworthy, having a general cargo and twelve Chinese passengers for Fai gon. The wind, which was easterly on our departure, veered afterwards more to the southward, and induced us to take the inner route, between Haitan and the Paracelles. On the 25th, at noon, we were by observation in lat. 18 deg. 11 min. N., lon. 110 deg. 48 min. E., wind very light from S. to S.S.E., there being a short distance from us three junks, which we thought to be fishing vessels and not of a suspicious character, one of them was about a quarter of a mile astern of us, another a little more to leeward ahead, and the third to leeward astern about one mile distant.\n\nWhile we were taking our dinner we heard a gun fired, whereupon I immediately went on deck, and ascertained from one of the seamen, by name G. Diesmeyer, who was at the wheel, that the shot was fired from the next junk astern of us, which at the same time had hoisted a red flag.\n\nI instantly ordered the small fire-arms with ammunition, powder, and shot for the two guns on deck to be carried up, while the pirates, with the help of sweeps, were nearing our vessel fast. The yards were then braced sharp in, to impel the vessel faster through the water, but it was of no avail, the wind being too light. The small three-pounder on the poop was only made to be used for throwing fire rockets, so the distance between us and the junk was yet too great to allow balls to take effect. The cannister shots which followed in quick succession out of two apparently six-pounders, on the fore deck of the pirate, now swept our decks and tore the sails and rigging; it was therefore deemed advisable by the officers and myself to wait until the pirate was going to board our vessel, and then to drive him back by musketry. The eight double-barrelled breech-loading muskets were loaded by the carpenter, and distributed among the crew, the passengers having by this time hidden themselves below.\n\nThe pirate then, under a sustained fire of guns and muskets, approached nearer the vessel, and the crew, with the exception of the able seaman, S. Winter, refused to defend themselves, although the mate explained to them that by cowardly surrendering they would not save their lives; nevertheless, they insisted upon refusing, and demanded that the gig, which was laying on the poop, should be launched. This, however, I would not permit, because it would have been sure destruction both of boat and men.\n\nShortly after the pirates boarded, after having thrown some stink-pots on deck, I went into the cabin and the officers and men forward. Three of the pirates then watched the entrances of the cabin, while some spiked the gun on the forecastle, and the rest, about 20 or 25 men altogether, demanded the money, which was on board; they said I had $1,000 in my possession, and a box of treasure belonging to the cargo. Upon explanation that there was no money on board, they insisted upon taking what they liked of the cargo, for which purpose some of the crew had to assist them in opening boxes and bales and hand them on deck, from whence the contents were transferred to the piratical craft. There was taken chiefly copper and brass ware, silks, trinkets, and other valuable articles, the abovenamed S. Winter being kept all the time by the pirates on deck to steer the ship, and he had to keep her on a North Easterly course.\n\nAfter having pillaged until dark, and having destroyed in the cabin everything which they could not make use of, such as instruments, books, charts, and papers, they confined me together with the crew and passengers in the coal locker in the fore peak, under the between decks of the vessel, a room of about 350 cubic feet, secured the hatch of it by a stream anchor and chains, shut the hatches on deck, and fastened them by the iron bars attached. The sailmaker, named Harras, however, effected his escape, and stowed himself away in the slings of the upper main-topsail. As soon as the hatches were shut, the proposal was renewed to the crew, which was made several times during the afternoon—that was, to take the knives which were in a box laying between other goods, and to attack the pirates. Although the crew showed little inclination to follow this idea, a hole was nevertheless cut by the carpenter with a pocket knife in the bulkhead, which divided the coal-locker from the hold; by this aperture I entered the cargo room, with the mate, carpenter, and H. Winter, and by opening packages and emptying some of their contents, we succeeded after several hours' labour in effecting an opening sufficiently large to admit a man to crawl through. Shortly after the shutting of the hatches we heard a thumping against the ship's side, which convinced us that the pirates were scuttling the vessel. After having effected the passage through the cargo-room I sent the mate, carpenter, and H. Winter aft to secure the knives, and forced open the fore-hatch myself to reconnoitre the whereabouts of the pirates. I then found nobody on deck, the piratical junk then laying a short distance from the ship. Returning to the fore-hatch to release the crew, I was informed by the men that the water was rushing in strongly under the stern of the ship, and having convinced myself that the ship was listing over to port very much, and in a sinking condition, I ordered the boats to be launched. The longboat, which I intended to have lowered first, was so much cut up by the pirates that it was entirely useless; the other boat had four large holes in the bottom, which were patched up with canvas, blankets, &c., and then lowered over the side.\n\nDuring the time the crew were engaged with this business, and I was searching for the ship's papers, some of the passengers had hoisted in the mizzen-rigging two lanterns, although they refused a short while before to come on deck. By this treacherous act I was forced to leave the ship, after cutting adrift spare spars, water-casks, &c., no time being allowed to construct a raft, on account of the dangerous neighbourhood of the pirates. In the boat were twelve persons, and in the leaky state of it this situation was not much better than that on board of the ship.\n\nPage 69\n542",

        "content_text": "# THE CHINA MAIL\n\n## HONGKONG, SATURDAY, OCT. 24, 1868.\n\n### DEATHS IN THE \"DAYSPRING.\"\n\n(From the Australasian, Sept. 12,) Dr Maclean, district coroner, commenced an inquiry at Williamstown near Melbourne on Tuesday into the circumstances connected with the deaths of Chong Ah Yow and Sumyuk, Chinamen, who were passengers in the ship Dayspring, bound from Hongkong to Melbourne. The evidence of several of the passengers revealed gross dereliction of duty on the part of Captain Middleton during the passage. The Dayspring sailed from the port of Hongkong on the 20th of May, with ninety-six Chinese, and two European passengers. The crew consisted of four Europeans (without a first mate), and a number of South Sea Islanders. After having been at sea for about sixty days, all hands were placed on a short allowance of rations. On reaching cold latitudes the crew became sick, and scorbutic symptoms became manifest among the passengers. On or about the 10th of August a scurvy patient expired, and after that date \"the Chinamen commenced to die fast.\" The provisions supplied to the passengers were inferior to those served out to the ship's crew—in fact, they were not only inferior in quality, but seriously curtailed in quantity. After a miserable passage of 104 days, the ship dropped her anchor off Queenscliff on the 4th inst. Previously to slipping the anchor a Chinese doctor, who was one of the passengers, died of scurvy, and during the following night another Chinaman succumbed to the loathsome disease. Both bodies were subsequently thrown overboard, without having any kind of weight attached to them. On arriving in Hobson's Bay, and after the vessel had anchored, another unfortunate passenger died, and his body was likewise thrown over the side of the vessel—with the additional precaution in this instance of having a weight attached to it.\n\nThe \"second mate\" of the vessel swore that the salt fish doled out to the unfortunate Chinese \"was not fit for food for Europeans\" while the ample statements made by other witnesses examined testified to the fact of there not being a single anti-scorbutic article of diet on board the vessel.\n\nThe Coroner acquainted the jury that he had not taken the evidence of Mr Langdon, the cabin passenger, who is at present an inmate of the Melbourne Hospital. He would mention that it was not his intention to close the investigation without Mr Langdon's evidence, as he (the coroner) considered it would be important.\n\nArchibald Miller, examined,—I was a passenger by the Dayspring from Hong Kong. All the passengers and the crew, with the exception of one cabin passenger, were in good health when we left Hong-kong. The cabin passenger's name is William Abbott Langdon. He is the superintendent of water police at Hongkong. I cannot say if the ship bore a good reputation at Hongkong. Sickness first appeared among the Chinese, about six weeks after we left port. The first death occurred about three weeks after that time. A second death occurred about a week after the first, and then the deaths became frequent. The sufferers appeared to have swollen limbs. I did not consider the Chinamen were well treated throughout the passage. The sauces and pickled onions served out to them were not good. The rice was good. The turnips, yams, and sweet potatoes were bad. The provisions were good at the commencement of the voyage, but they got bad afterwards. The salt fish was bad, but the pork was good. The beef was good, but the Chinese did not seem to care about it. Towards the end of the voyage the beef, pork, and pickled eggs got bad. I saw some lime-juice served out to the Chinese, shortly after the sickness appeared, and while we were in the Gillolo Passage. Lime-juice was served out twice a week for a period of three weeks. It was given to those only who were sick. I did not see any lime-juice served out to the South Sea Islanders. I heard the captain say that the sickness among the Chinese was scurvy. I have seen water running down between decks. It was caused by a leakage in the decks. About a week after its appearance the captain got the decks caulked and pitched. The water got in between decks after the caulking was finished. The crew consisted of eight South Sea Islanders, a second carpenter, a mate, a steward, and the captain. The captain did not always keep his watch, but was occasionally relieved by one of the South Sea Islanders. The second carpenter (Joseph Rowland) kept the captain's watch for about two weeks before we came to anchor. I never saw the South Sea Islanders put out or take in sail without orders. Sandstrou, the second mate, always kept his own watch. After leaving Hongkong we were becalmed for twenty-seven days, and afterwards we experienced squally weather. The Chinamen did not get the same quality of provisions as the other passengers; I think the beef supplied to them was superior to that served out to the other passengers. About a month after leaving port, provisions began to run short, and all hands were placed on short rations. Sickness appeared shortly afterwards. I heard no complaints from the Chinamen; but if they had complained I could not understand them. They were not ill-used, but I have seen water thrown over them, because they came too far aft to speak to their countrymen in the cabin. The captain went below on one or two occasions after death had occurred, for the purpose of looking after the Chinamen. I consider the captain was careless with respect to the lives of the passengers. There was no code of signals on board. The vessel was knocking about the Heads for about a fortnight before coming to anchor. Three deaths occurred at the Heads. The captain manifested no sympathy either for the passengers or the crew during their illness.\n\nTo the Coroner.—The between decks were cleaned out once only. A passenger requested the captain to use chloride of lime. The captain said it would be necessary, but he failed to use it. There were twenty-five tins of preserved meat on board when we left port. The tins varied in size from 5lb. to 7lb. The entire of those provisions were used in the cabin. The captain behaved harshly towards his crew, and used to strike them with his fist several times a day.\n\nCheo Long, whose evidence was interpreted, said, produce a provision diary of the various stores which were served out during the voyage. The day after leaving port we were reduced in firewood by sixty pounds; we received 140lb. instead of 200lb. When at sea about forty-five days all the stores decreased in quantity. About the fifty-third day out the rice became short. Lime-juice was served out only four or five times during the voyage. I received a pannikinful each time. Each man received a pannikinful.\n\nTo Mr Stephen.—The ship was chartered by Wo Hang and Co., of Hongkong. They supplied the provisions for the voyage, and they appointed me to act as interpreter. There was not sufficient wood served out for cooking purposes. The captain distributed one full pannikin of lime-juice to serve for the whole of the passengers. On one occasion he gave out an extra half pannikin.\n\nThe evidence of the Chinese cook was taken, but it was merely a corroboration of the foregoing facts. He swore the captain never went below among the berths during the voyage. The between decks were swept once a week, and were never washed or scraped.\n\nHong Ah Chee, another of the passengers, said that on one occasion, while endeavouring to shelter himself from a shower of rain on deck, the captain came up to him, and kicked him in the side.\n\nThe proceedings were then adjourned until four o'clock on Wednesday next.",

The difficulties that will have to be encountered in the attempt to establish female and family Emigration from China to the British West India Colonies may be gathered from a paragraph in the published reports of Mr. Cecil Smith, the Registrar General of Hong Kong, on the census of last year; but at the same time it is encouraging, showing as it does that the prejudices of the natives on that point are to be overcome. Mr. Smith says:— \"I would now next draw attention to Return No. 3, which shows that during \"the past year, a fair increase in the number of buildings for the Chinese, \"and in the number of families, viz., 189, over the previous year, which \"settled in the Colony. This latter point is, I hold, of considerable importance as evincing a gradual surmounting on the part of native residents, \"of old prejudices, formerly deemed insurmountable by many, against bringing their wives and families to live in a British Colony, or indeed in 'any place out of their own country.\"\n\nCALCUTTA,\n\n17th July, 1868.\n\nTHORNTON WARNER,\n\nEmigration Agent for Trinidad at Calcutta.\n\nSINCE this Report was printed, several numbers of the \"China Mail\" have come to hand, from which I have extracted the following regarding two ships, the \"Esperance,\" and the \"Theresa,\" (See Appendix No. 7) that left Macao in the early part of this year.\n\nPage 65\n\nChina Mail of the 26th June 1868.- From Table Bay is reported a serious mutiny of “coolies, 300 of whom were on board the French ship \"Esperance,\" 391 tons, Captain Noel, from Macao, January 5th, for Havannah, which put into the bay on 25th March for water \"and provisions. The following are the particulars of the affair: - The coolies were confined below, and were apparently as unwilling voyagers as English convicts en route for an Australian settlement. On the passage they made a desperate effort to recover their liberty. “The vessel left Macao in charge of her owner, Captain Boyce. On her fifteenth day at sea \"a fresh breeze sprang up, which necessitated her sail being reduced rapidly. The crew not being strong enough to do this by themselves, 50 of the coolies were brought up from below \"to assist in shortening sail. They were distributed about in gangs, and the crew went aloft \"to reef and furl. While the crew were aloft, the coolies rushed into the cabin to get at the arms. Captain Boyce, who was at the wheel, left it, and called to the crew, and rushed in \"to the saloon sword in hand after the coolies, who were just getting out the ship's arms. \"A desperate conflict ensued, in which Captain Boyce was very severely wounded, and narrowly escaped with his life before the crew came to his assistance. The coolies were at length got under, their leader being killed in the émeute. Captain Boyce had subsequently to be left at Aujir for a passage, via Batavia to England. The \"Esperance\" left Table Bay, March 28th for Havannah.”\n\nPage 66\n\nChina Mail of the 18th July 1868.- \"I drop you a few lines, which I am sure you will give space to. The Italian ship \"Theresa\" arrived in Macao yesterday morning, having \"left the above named port for Callao about five months ago, and brings with her one of the \"most dreadful tales of mutiny which I have heard for many years.\n\n\"It appears from the statement of the Captain, Bolos, that she sailed from Macao with 296 coolies, and general cargo of silk, tea, &c., on the 3rd of February last. Things seem \"to have been as usual, and after a passage of sixty-two days, land was sighted, which proved to be New Zealand. While the men were employed in the fore part of the ship, a \"rush was made aft by the coolies to seize the cabin and arms, which they accomplished, \"and before ten minutes had elapsed, twelve of the crew were killed, cut to pieces, and \"thrown overboard; the second mate was also killed on the top-gallant fore-castle while fighting manfully by one of the ship's crew who shot him with a rifle to save his own life. \"The mate had seventeen wounds and was placed in irons, and after eighty days' torture, \"such as driving nails into his head, &c., was killed about two days before the ship arrived \"off the coast of China. But now comes the most horrid part of this story. The Hakkas \"and Puntis, after the ship was taken, had a free fight, and in less than two hours fifty were killed and their heads taken off; after which they were placed in boxes and put in the \"ship's hold. The stench after sixty days was dreadful, and to add to this the Captain's \"wife was placed in the 'tween decks, and not treated with the greatest kindness.\n\n\"There is no doubt but the greater part of the coolies were pirates, as they made the Captain steer for the harbour of Tin-pack, and had quite a knowledge of the use of the compass and of the chart.\n\n\"The ship, after anchoring in the port of Tin-pack, was stripped of everything of value, \"and in this plunder we are informed, the Mandarins gave every assistance. The ship's \"name was taken off all her boats, and after many trials she reached Macao Roads yesterday \"with a crew of about eight Europeans alive, including the Captain's wife.\"\n\nThese fearful results I attribute entirely to the pernicious system prevailing at Macao.\n\nTHORNTON WARNER.\n\nCalcutta, 11th August 1868.\n\nPage 796",

Reorganizing the text into coherent sentences and paragraphs is necessary.\n\n## Step 3: Applying Markdown Formatting\nThe text should be formatted using Markdown. Headers, bold text, and paragraphs should be correctly formatted.\n\n## Step 4: Checking for Missing Words and Reordering\nSome words are missing or out of order. We need to add missing words and reorder sentences to make them coherent, without altering the original meaning.\n\n## Step 5: Finalizing the Text\nAfter correcting spelling errors, reorganizing the text, and applying Markdown formatting, the text should be reviewed for any remaining errors or formatting issues.\n\nThe final answer is: \n(impecher traffic in breaches) \"He will \n\n\" be sorry that M.

However, the original text's intent and some specific words remain unclear due to the quality of the OCR output. \n\nTo adhere strictly to the guidelines, the output is provided directly in HTML format as requested.",

B.\n\nTHE ROYAL VISIT, &c.\n\nEARLY in the morning of Sunday, October 31st, H.M.S. Galatea, Captain His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, K.G., &c., was seen entering the Harbour of Hongkong from the Lye-ü-mun Pass. Precisely at 8 o'clock, she saluted the flag of Vice-Admiral Kellett, K.C.B., and the salute was returned by the Princess Charlotte on board of which his flag was then flying. At the same time, several vessels in the Harbour \"dressed ship,\" and many of the houses in the City were decked with colours.\n\nThe news soon spread, and a large number of Chinese and Europeans assembled on the Praya to look at the noble frigate. A very beautiful sight met the eye on passing down from the Clock Tower to Pedder's Wharf; the Galatea lying in such a position that the Triumphal Arch, erected in honour of His Royal Highness, formed a frame, in which she appeared as in a picture. And a fine picture it was, as she lay there in the blue waters and the morning sun shone brightly around her!\n\nThis magnificent ship was built at Woolwich, and launched in 1859. Her dimensions are: length over all 317 feet, breadth 50 feet, horse-power 800, tonnage 3,227. Her speed under steam at the measured mile, when new, was 13 knots, the indicated horse-power being 3,515. She carries the following armament, viz.: on the main-deck, 18 guns, 10 inch, 86 cwt., and 4 guns, 10 inch, 6 tons; on the quarter deck, 2 guns, rifled, 64 pounders; on the forecastle, 2 guns, rifled, 64 pounders. The 64 ton guns throw a shot of 115 lb., and a large double shell weighing 156 lb., with a bursting charge of 12 lb. of powder. Her draught of water, with three months' provisions on board, is, aft 22 feet 7 inches, forward 21 feet 8 inches.\n\nPage 25",

She can stow 700 tons of coal in her boxes, and 72 tons of water.\n\nShe has seen active service, having been engaged in suppressing the insurrection at Jamaica, and having destroyed the batteries on Cape Haitien after the loss of the Bulldog. Her behaviour in the hurricane which she met off St. Paul's during her late cruise, proved her to be admirably adapted for rough weather. A list of her Officers is given in the Appendix, (A).\n\nHis Royal Highness was accompanied on board by his Equerries, the Honorable E. C. Yorke, and Arthur Balfour Haig, Esq., R.E., and by M. Chevalier, an artist.\n\nShe carries 530 souls, viz.: Officers 46, Petty Officers 65, Seamen 305, Boys 40, and Marines 74. \"The clear bright looks worn by all, fore and aft,\" struck the attention of a reporter who visited her soon after she anchored, and all who saw her agreed with him that the Galatea is worthy of the British Navy and of her Royal Captain.\n\nAfter Divine Service on board, the Prince and his suite landed, and spent the remainder of the day at Government House with His Excellency Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell, C.B., Lady MacDonnell, and a limited number of guests, including his late Commanding Officer, Admiral the Honorable Sir Henry Keppel, K.C.B., and a few Officers of the Galatea.\n\nMonday, November 1st.—His Royal Highness considerately postponed his Public Official Landing till Tuesday morning, as that important event in Hongkong life, the departure of the mail for Europe, was close at hand; and during the day, both on shore and on board the Galatea,",

The direction of the wind at the time of the collision was from N. N. E. to N. E. I should think. The sea was neither rough nor calm. It was a short chop sea.\n\nTo **Mr. BARNARD**. While the whistle was blowing I could not have heard any orders that might have been given.\n\n**TO THE COURT** (at the suggestion of **Mr. DE LONG**). When Kanonsaki lighthouse was abeam of my ship I should think it must have been about a mile distant, as nearly as I can guess. If I mistake not a native junk passed me coming from Yokohama when the light bore abeam. We altered the ship's course to north when the light was abeam I think. That course would carry me clear of Saratoga spit. Our course was altered to North after passing the light. When a Pilot is on board it is left to him to steer the courses.\n\nThe pilot said \"no.\" The Captain then said \"in that case we will go on.\" The Captain also asked if she \"could sink there ?\" The pilot said \"yes, she can run on the spit which is close to her.\" Directly after that I reported the cutwater and all the head work gone and a spar hanging under her bows; and that she was making water fast in the fore compartment. The men were clearing out the store room and discovered a spar through the bows of the Bombay. Directly after burning the mail signal I anchored I lowered a boat and went under the bows, and found that the spar had gone right through, and that the plates had started below water. I reported that, and all hands were at work throughout the night pumping and baling. I saw a mast head light as well as the two side lights. The steamer steered right in our way and came across us. The Captain gave the order to \"port the helm,\" but the pilot was on the bridge at the time. It was a long time, more than an hour after the collision, that I found out that the spar had run through our bows. We were off Treaty Point at the time I discovered it.\n\nWe burn a gun, two rockets and a blue light, as a signal that the mail is coming in. This is done just before anchoring. I did not report it till after we had anchored as I could not leave the forecastle. I could not find out what damage had been done outside our ship until after we had anchored. At the time of the collision I only knew that the ship was making water fast, and that our bobstay had carried away. At the time of the collision we were burning mast head light and two side lights. They were lit about three quarters of an hour before the collision and were burning brightly. No sails were set on board our vessel. The other vessel seemed to have all sail set. The other vessel was barque rigged. She had a fair wind. The direction of the wind was North East I think. She appeared to have the wind on her port quarter. The tide was at ebb and pretty strong in her favour. I have never been here before. I had no idea at the time of the strength of the tide. The other vessel was under sail as well as steam. I did not know what vessel she was. It was dark. The Bombay must have been going about 8 knots, and was steering due North. I think that the other vessel must have been going 11 or 12 knots. I did not see anything done on board the other vessel to avoid the collision. I did not distinguish any boats on board the other vessel. Did not hear any sound or voice calling. I was on the bridge till she cleared us and could have heard if we had been hailed. I heard no guns and saw no signals of any kind from the other ship. I was in a position to have heard and seen if there had been any. I was some ten minutes below. When I came on deck I saw nothing of the other vessel. The other vessel instantly cleared after the collision. I did not see any lights on board the other vessel at the time. I did not see any lights through the vessel's side or through her port holes. The collision was just a touch; just a bound and a graze, and off she went flying. I could not see her screw. I went down below immediately she had cleared us. It was a dark starlight night with strong North East wind, with not much sea. The other vessel was about a mile off when we first saw her. She was bearing about North half West. Almost immediately after we saw her...\n\n### ARTHUR LOGGIN, sworn, states. \nI am chief officer of the S. S. Bombay. The Bombay was to the north of the Lighthouse, say about a mile, a little after or about 6 P.M. on the 24th of January. I was on duty at the time on the bridge. Shortly after that, I heard the gong strike twice on the forecastle. I immediately looked ahead and saw a bright light about half a point on the port bow. Almost directly afterwards I saw two side lights. The Captain turned on the steam whistle, and the telegraph was turned on to \"port the helm.\" The helm was kept to port until we lost sight of the steamer's green light. The Pilot then said \"that will do, she is well clear now.\" The Captain said \"No, keep the helm port, hard aport.\" Suddenly the other steamer hauled right across our bows. The engines were stopped and the helm put hard astarboard to try and pass under her stern. Directly after, we struck her between the mizen channels and the quarter gallery with our starboard bow. She instantly cleared again and I was sent by the Commander below to sound the wells. At the same time I heard the order given \"hard a port\" so that we could clear our boats and stern. I went down and searched the fore hold. I sent the steward to open the store room, to see if she was making water there; and then went on the forecastle to see what damage was done. Pieces of her sail were hanging over our bows and I sent the gunner on the bowsprit end to see what was carried away. The only thing I could then discover was that our bobstay had carried away. I then went aft to the bridge and reported to the Captain that she was making water forward in the store room, but I could not tell how much till the stores were cleared out; that there did not seem to be much damage as only the bobstay was carried away. The Captain was then standing with the pilot looking aft and said \"if they want assistance they will certainly send up a rocket or two, and fire a gun.\" He then asked the pilot \"what do you think I had better do? Do you think she is much damaged?\" The pilot said \"no you can go back if you like, but I do not see that there is any occasion for it; you do not know what damage is done to your own ship, and you have the mails on board; so you had better go on.\" The Captain then asked him \"suppose she had met with any...",

        "content_text": "# RICHARD CONNORS\n\nAnd that there were eight feet of water in the vessel's hold. I did not know at the time that the vessel was built in compartments. When I heard that the spar was in the bows, I thought of the safety of the Bombay, knowing there were passengers on board and the mails; and not seeing any signals that they were damaged as much as we were, I thought it best to go on to Yokohama. Had I known the Bombay was in compartments my opinion might have been different. I thought that as there was 8 feet of water in the ship at that time, if she was making water so fast the best thing would be to get to Yokohama as soon as possible; not knowing she was built in compartments. I did not hear any hail such as \"lay by us, you have cut us down.\" I did not hear any order of any kind on board the other vessel. I never heard a man speak. I heard a crash and a jar, felt a jar and heard a slight clashing as if something had broken. I noticed that the other vessel was smaller than ours, and I thought she was deeply laden. It did not occur to me at the time that the shock would have been more severe to the smaller than to the larger vessel. I could not tell what the light I saw from the stern of the vessel was. I could not see the light itself - only the reflection. The light appeared to come from about the quarter where the ship was struck. I could not say whether it came from the cabin or not. The vessel went past so quickly that it was impossible to discern the nature of the light. At the time I could not judge from whence the light came. It did not occur to me to think from where it came. I do not know if the Oneida had a pivot gun on her quarter. In coming up a narrow channel it is usual to keep on the starboard side of such channel. We were on the starboard side coming up; at least we kept over there as soon as we saw the light. We were about 4 miles from Webster's Island, two miles from Perry's Island, and about three from Kanonsaki, at the time of the collision. On a dark night such as this we might have gone safely half a mile nearer Saratoga spit; but I did not see the spit, only took the bearings of the light, and knew from that I was clear of the spit. I should have thought it my duty to keep off the spit. I did not consider it safe to go nearer to the spit than we did, as it was a dark night.\n\n## TO THE COURT\n\nI have never been a master, but have been a chief officer of a vessel 15 months. My age is 29. I have been at sea 8 years. The Oneida might or might not have heard our whistle four or five miles off. I judged at the time she must have been that distance off by her lights. I should say that on a dark night with starlight the masthead light of a steamer could be seen with a glass or 4 miles off. But I do not think I should see it with the naked eye. I could not say at what speed the Oneida was going. I should say that, considering the distance that we were apart, and the speed we were going, it must have taken two or two and a half minutes before we shut out her green light. To the best of my judgment there was a space of a mile or a mile and a half between the two ships, when I saw the Oneida head across our bows, and when the engines were stopped. The reflection I saw seemed to be reflected aft from forward, and was on the deck of the Oneida. It was a light as if from a dark lantern and of such a shape as would be made by a dark lantern on a wall; it was not like the light of a dead light or of a port hole. I did not stop to consider where the light came from. It might have been the light from the Captain's skylight or any other light. I did not stop to notice. I cannot tell what was behind the light, or what the light showed me. The light did not open up the interior of the ship to me. It did not appear to come from a hole that had been broken into the ship. I could not say whether the Bombay's compass is in good order or not. From the motion of the Bombay I thought she rose a little forward. I did not call the attention of any one to the light on board the Oneida, nor did any one call my attention to it.\n\n**RICHARD CONNORS**\n\nAdjourned till 9 A.M. to-morrow.\n\n## SATURDAY THE 29TH JANUARY 1870, 9 A.M.\n\nThe President opened the proceedings by the following remarks.\n\nThis is a Court of Inquiry held on the application of Mr. Dalziel, as being in the interest of the owners of steamship Bombay. It is not what is commonly called a Court of Law, nor is Mr. Eyre upon his trial. Let my reply to Mr. Eyre at the commencement of the proceedings be well understood; I did not mean to tell him that this was a preliminary examination upon a charge laid against him. No charge has been made. Should a charge be preferred against him before me, a proper examination will be held into such charge; and, if, in my opinion, there is sufficient evidence upon which to commit him to take his trial, he will be committed accordingly; otherwise the charge will be dismissed. There are two things which this Court has specially to enquire into and determine. First, Was the collision between the Bombay and the Oneida occasioned by any fault of Mr. Eyre or his officers? Secondly: After the collision had taken place did Mr. Eyre do his duty? And whatever the result of these proceedings may be, it will be reported to the Board of Trade.\n\nThe evidence therefore, which the Court requires is on these two points; and I will observe again, once for all, that legal technicalities will not be allowed to stand in the way of a thorough investigation of these two points.\n\nIn order that it may be understood to what extent these proceedings may be put in evidence in a Court of Law I will explain:----\n\nSupposing that a witness answers a question before a Court of Law, in a certain way which appears unsatisfactory to his interrogator, he may be asked \"Did you not, on such and such a day, during the holding of a Naval Court of Inquiry, say---so and so?” And then, if the witness should deny that he said it, a certified copy of these minutes may be tendered as evidence that he did. Mr. Eyre might also be asked \"Was the result of a Naval Court of Inquiry, so and so?\" And in this case also, a certified copy of the proceedings may be tendered in proof of such result. It is perhaps natural that personal feeling should run very high in this Community on the question of which this Court is partly taking cognizance; but I ask (and I trust that a request of this nature will have the greatest possible weight) that the gentlemen who are assisting the Court in the prosecution of this Inquiry will abstain from any remarks of a personal character, of whatsoever nature or kind; for they only tend to increase and add to personal feelings of opposition which are already too intense between the holders of different views on the momentous questions arising out of this terrible disaster.\n\n## THIRD DAY, SATURDAY, 29TH JANUARY, 1870\n\nThe report of the Special Committee appointed to inspect the steamer Bombay's bows was then read; upon which it was suggested that Mr. De Long and Mr. Barnard should write down the questions which they respectively wished to be answered, and submit them to the members of the Committee.\n\n### REPORT\n\nBy request of H. B. M.'s Consul, we, the Undersigned, this day proceeded on board the P. & O. Co.'s steamer Bombay, to survey the damage sustained in collision on the evening of the 24th inst., with a vessel supposed to be the U. S. corvette Oneida, and found the following, namely: that some large timbers had penetrated into the port bow of the Bombay, at the end of the iron plating close to the stem, about 3ft. 9in. from the water, making a hole 14 inches in diameter on the port side, and splintering the plating on the starboard side; part of the timbers remained in the hole nearly filling it up. We further found a plate cracked on the port side, about an inch and a-half below the water, and about 18 inches abaft the other one; the crack was about 10 inches in length, through which the water was flowing freely into the fore compartment. We found the false stem, cutwater, head, head knees and skirting boards crushed and carried away; we found on examination of the fore compartment and lower hold, the ends of the plating joining the stem much shaken, and the lower ends of knight-heads sprung, and one angle iron on the port side broken.\n\nThe bowsprit and bowsprit gear was uninjured.

        "content_text": "# BOYLE PURDON CREACH, sworn, states.\nI am second officer of the P. & O. Str. Bombay. I was on duty on the evening of the 24th. I was on the poop; I went on duty shortly after six o'clock; I was on the fore part of the poop attending to the steering. I heard the gong sound twice; this was about a quarter past six, I should say. I went to the gangway and saw a bright light ahead very nearly, and I should say from five to six miles away - not quite ahead. Afterwards I made out a steamer's lights a point on the port bow; the order was given to port the helm, which I passed along. The helm was steadied. I went on the gangway and saw the lights broader on the bow. The order was again immediately given to port the helm, then \"hard a port.\" I ran aft to assist in putting the helm over with the fourth officer; ordered the quarter-master who was with the signal lights to give a hand also. When the helm was hard over we could see the bright light nearly ahead. It was the mast-head light. Afterwards the mast-head light appeared on the starboard bow. I could see a steamer under full sail about half way across the bow, crossing to the starboard; the order was given to starboard the helm; before the helm was quite over we struck the steamer somewhere between the mizen chains and quarter gallery; when she was about abreast of the bridge, the order was given to port the helm. As the steamer went astern of us, I could see the screw going round. I was not in a position, where I was, to see any lights but the mast-head light, at first. I saw smoke from the funnel of the other ship as she was crossing our bow. I should think the other vessel must have been two or two and a half miles off when I first saw all her three lights. She was about one-half a point on our port bow at that time; after that there was no time at which I saw only one light. I was not in a position to do so. After we had first ported, and the bright light came right ahead, we must have been very close, say a quarter of a mile or less apart. It would be difficult for me to judge of distance from where I was standing. The wind was northerly at the time. It was a fresh breeze and there was a good sea on for narrow waters; the weather was clear, and it was a starlight night. I could see the hull of the vessel about one-half a mile off with glasses. The mast-head light of a steamer could be seen six or eight miles off with glasses; without glasses about five miles. The tide was against us. Our mast-head light was burning but I could not see the other lights from where I was. When we passed Kanonsaki I was not on deck. When I relieved the deck we had passed the light at Kanonsaki about five minutes, I should think. Our course was about N.W. true. I could not then see the light of the light ship; don't know if it was visible from the bridge. I should think three minutes must have elapsed between the time I first saw the steamer's three lights and the time of the collision; we were going about eight knots, I think at the time I heard the telegraph go, and shortly afterwards the engines stopped. I have no idea at what time the engines stopped. I saw the other vessel shortly before the collision and afterwards. When I saw her before the collision I had no idea what ship she was; the other vessel was under sail and steam, with a fair wind. I don't think the other vessel could have been going less than eight knots, but she may have been going at reduced speed for all I know. When I noticed the other steamer's screw, I think she was going ahead; but I could not form a distinct idea because it was such a short time. I should say she was propelled by steam and not dragging her screw. The collision occasioned a pretty good shock; not a very great shock, but you could feel it very well on the poop where I was standing; the Captain was standing on the bridge with the chief officer and pilot, I believe. The bridge is in the centre of the vessel. I could feel the shock more on the poop than it would have been felt on the bridge. I did not report the shock to the Captain, nor tell him at any time what I felt; nor did I tell it to the chief officer. From the time of the collision until I lost sight of the steamer's hull, I could not say how long a time elapsed. I didn't take any note at the time. It might have been ten minutes; might have been less, but my attention was fixed exclusively on the steering. I had two men at the wheel and the Quarter-master, under my orders; there was a man on the look out: there always is - two on the forecastle and one on the bridge. I know that from hearing the gong struck. The other vessel did not appear to have sustained any great injury.\n\n## To Mr. DE LONG.\nWhen I said the steamer didn't appear to be much injured, I meant the other steamer. It is a standing order that every officer on duty on board car ships should have a binocular glass with him. At that time I was not in charge of the watch but the steering. I didn't see the other steamer till after the gong sounded, and then it appeared to me that she was about five or six miles off. I referred to the port gangway when I said I looked out and saw the steamer. I saw no light whatever till I went to the gangway. I first saw the mast-head light of the steamer - that was from the gangway - that was after the gong had sounded. When the gong had sounded, I went to the gangway to see what was the matter, and it was then I saw the steamer's mast-head light ahead. I can't say how long a time elapsed between the time I heard the gong sound, and when I saw the side light; it may have been two or three minutes, but I cannot say positively. When I saw the side lights, I was standing in the port gangway, her side lights then bare half a point on the port bow. She was then about two and a half miles from us. At the time the gong sounded the helm was steady, the course was North half West. It must have remained perhaps two minutes steady after the gong sounded - I suppose until they could make out the steamer's lights from the bridge. Her helm was then ported and afterwards steadied; the ship had altered her course about two points before the helm was steadied; it remained steadied a few seconds - while I had time to walk three paces. When it was put to port again, the helm was steadied sufficiently long for the ship to feel its effects. I went a second time to the gangway and saw the steamer's lights. It was the port gangway I went to. The lights then appeared broader on the bow. The helm was then put hard a port, and remained in that condition till we saw her cross our bows. When I saw her crossing our bows, I first saw her mast-head light, then her sails and rigging. I saw the mast-head light continuously. I knew from this that she must be crossing our bows. When I saw her sails and rigging, she must have been two ships' lengths off. When our helm was put to starboard, the vessels were about a ship's length apart. I am certain I saw smoke issuing from her stack. I don't know whether her mainsail was set or not. Her foresail, mizen, and gaff topsail were set. I did not notice any person, or any peculiarity on board. After she had dropped astern, some one sang out \"steamer ahoy,\" I answered them, but heard no reply. I heard no other words, such as \"stay by us.\" If anything of that sort had been said, I could have heard it distinctly if said in the same tone of voice. My reply was \"Hallo.\" I did not report this circumstance to the Captain. I did not report the hail, but the fourth officer did. The report was made immediately. I ordered the report to be made. I saw the fourth officer go to the bridge. I think I heard the steam whistle of the `Oneida` going after the collision; it was after the hail that I heard the whistle. I did not report the hearing of the whistle nor did I order such a report to be made, as I was not certain whether it was the steam whistle or not. There is often sound from the engines like a steam whistle, and I was not sure whether it was that that I heard or not. From my post on the poop, to where the Captain stood must be about a hundred and fifty feet. I was right aft at the stern of the vessel, when I heard the hail - within a few paces of the wheel. The wheel is about seven feet from the stern. I think the `Bombay's` length is about two hundred and sixty feet, or somewhere near that; the bridge is nearly amidships, it is before the funnel. I should think that the two vessels remained together but a few seconds only. They separated abreast instantaneously. I can't form an opinion of how long the other vessel was in sight after the collision, from the state of excitement I was in. I could distinctly see her hull as she passed by us. I saw lights about the deck. I did see a light or the reflection of a light from her hull. It was from the after-part of her hull close to her quarter. I couldn't say whence that light emanated. I couldn't say whether it appeared to me a usual light from a port or a light as from an unusual breach. I could see that her upper works were broken. It appeared to me that the upper works were broken, but whether the light came from a port or elsewhere, I cannot say. I could not and did not see into the cabin or the interior of the vessel as she passed by us. The light did not disclose anything to me. I could not distinguish any one on board. I can't say if I saw anyone, but I thought I saw one figure. I thought I saw that figure on the deck. Not through where I saw the light. I did not report this to the Captain, nor did I have it reported. The upper works which I saw broken were, I should think, before the wheel. I did not consider that the steamer was much injured by being only damaged in her upper works, therefore I did not report it to the Captain. I mean by upper works, the upper part of the deck, much above the water line, an injury to which would not put a ship in any immediate danger of going down. I knew the `Bombay` was a large iron-plated ship and going at about 8 knots an hour. I knew she had struck a vessel deeper in the water than ourselves; she appeared to be a little smaller than the `Bombay`; I do not know the registered tonnage of the `Bombay`. I did not think the hull of the other vessel was seriously injured.\n\n## To Mr. BARNARD.\nThe other vessel did not carry a poop as far as I could see. I have never been in this port before. I meant that the `Bombay` was going 8 knots before her engines were eased down. I don't know when they were eased down - they were stopped when the helm was ported the second time. I couldn't say where the sound as of a steam whistle came from. I have been in a collision before in Calcutta river; one of the vessels was the `Nemesis`, the other was the `Cape of Good Hope`, both mail steamers. I was in the `Nemesis`; our vessel sank the other vessel. On that occasion the shock was not very great.\n\n## TO THE COURT.\nAfter hearing the hail and answering it, I listened about a minute for a reply; I did not hail to ask if they were damaged; it did not occur to me to report the hearing of the whistle. I can't say whether the Captain could hear the whistle or not; it was very indistinct.\n\n# TALBOT STOKER, Sworn, stated.\nI am fourth officer of the Steamer `Bombay`. I was on duty a little after 6 P.M. on the night of the collision. I was attending to the steering in the after part of the quarter deck; there was an order given to port the helm. After the helm was steadied I went to the side of the ship - the port side. I saw a steamer's lights about one-half a point on the port bow; directly the order was given to port the helm, I went and did it myself, the second officer assisting me; the helm was hard a port, when suddenly I saw a vessel shoot across our bows; she was under sail; the order was then given, to starboard the helm, which was done; the helm was barely a starboard before the collision took place. The shock was slight and the ship shot right away. Immediately afterwards as the ship dropped astern, she hailed us; the second officer and I both replied, but got no answer. Not receiving any answer I went to the bridge and reported to the Captain what had occurred. The commander asked the pilot if there was any safe place where the other ship could go ashore; the pilot said yes, she was close to the spit. The Captain made a remark that he didn't know what damage had been done to himself and that he said he should proceed - that is all I heard. I returned to the poop for a short time after that, and then went on to the bridge for good. I didn't notice any smoke from the other vessel's funnel. I saw the three lights, but had no further reason to believe that she was a steamer; I did not notice her screw as she went astern. The ship was astern when she hailed. I didn't hear any hail before she passed our stern. When I heard the hail I should say the steamer must have been about 200 yards away; the ship had top-gallant sails on her. I did not see the sails being clewed up. I could certainly have seen had they been clewing them up at that distance. I did not hear or see any signal or sign from the other ship, after I had replied to her hail. The hail was in a loud tone of voice, \"Steamer ahoy.\" I answered the hail \"What do you want,\" at the top of my voice. The second officer also answered, but his answer not being returned, I then hailed, and hearing no reply, I reported it to the Captain. I did not see any blue light or rocket, or flash of any gun; nor did I hear the report of any gun from the `Oneida`. At the time I left the stern the other ship was drifting so rapidly that I could not form an opinion of her distance from us. I reported immediately to the Captain. When I left the stern I could see the other vessel's hull distinctly. I noticed that the vessel seemed damaged about her upper works. By upper works I mean the works above the water line, by the quarter gallery above the main deck. I could see a light on the after part of the ship; it might have been from a port; it might have been from anywhere. I have been nine years at sea. I did not think there was any serious damage done to the other ship; had I thought so, I should have reported it to the commander. I reported to the Captain that the steamer had hailed but that I could not obtain any answer from her. At that time that was all I reported. I can't remember having made another report. The Captain turned and consulted the pilot; I remained on the bridge a short time, then went away, and afterwards came back again. I went down almost immediately to fetch the chief officer, after making my report, so that I couldn't see what the Captain did. When I came back to the bridge the second time the Captain was looking astern through a pair of glasses. The pilot was on the bridge. I didn't know what he was doing. Our lights were burning; we were under steam only. When we first saw the vessel, we were steering N. by W. to one-half W. (compass); the light-house was visible astern - very nearly astern.\n\n## To Mr. DE LONG.\nI could see the steamer very plainly, as she went astern. I saw no one on board of her. I could see that she seemed rather damaged about the quarter gallery, and that she was rather broken aft. I could not see into her cabin or ward-room. I could not distinguish exactly the amount of damage, only that a lot of wood was broken. I did not notice whether her quarter-boats or davits were broken. I could not see her wheel or anything on her quarter deck. I did not see a light at the point of the damage. I saw one or two lights aft, but I did not see any hole in the ship caused by damage. I did not hear her steam whistle sound after she passed us. I heard no report of any gun, and saw no flash. I did not note the time, but I should say we went on again about ten minutes after the collision. I was on duty at the time we passed Kanonsaki light; when we were a beam of it, we were about a mile from it. When I first saw the steamer, I saw her mast-head light. Almost immediately after, I saw the side lights simultaneously. When we passed Kanonsaki light, we were steering by the pilot. I could not say what our course was. I should say that not more than three or four minutes elapsed from the time I saw the light, and the time of collision, when the steamer's lights were deserted. The order was at once given to port the helm, which was done; it remained ported until the vessel was seen, as she hauled across our bows. The order was then given to starboard, and the helm was starboarded; it was nearly hard a starboard at the time of collision. The Captain and the pilot were on the bridge, when I went to report the hail. The first officer was on his duty forward. I think, if I remember rightly, I met the first officer as he was coming up from below. I said to him the Captain wishes to speak to you - he did not answer, but went at once to the bridge. I went to the poop again and just looked astern, but did not see the vessel. I can't remember that anything was said between the second officer and myself then. I then returned to the bridge and saw the Captain and the pilot. I did not hear what was said between the Captain and the pilot on the bridge. Their conversation was private, and I did not listen to it. I saw a vessel's gaff laying along our bowsprit, and a vessel's spanker boom sticking up by the anchor. I saw no sail at that time - this was on our way up the Bay. I did not hear a report of these things made by the chief officer to the Captain. I was not on the bridge at the time the chief officer made his report.\n\n## To Mr. BARNARD.\nIt is not customary for a junior officer to stand on the bridge close to the Captain. I went to the Captain directly after I had heard the hail; the second officer was in charge of the helm. The helm was shifted from port to starboard without being steadied, but she had been ported and steadied for about two minutes, before that time. There were two seamen, the quarter-master, the second officer, and myself at the helm at the time of the collision.\n\n## TO THE COURT.\nNo one was on the poop but the above people at the time of the collision. The ship passed just clear of us after the collision. I heard no cries from the other ship. My duty on the quarter deck was to assist the second officer. I don't know why the Captain ordered me to remain on the bridge. My station going in and out of harbour is on the bridge. I heard our gong sounded several times on other vessels. I heard the pilot hail the other vessel. I did not hear the pilot hail the other vessel after the gong was sounded, as I could not hear distinctly aft. After the gong was sounded, the helm was ordered to port, and after it was ported, it was steadied.\n\n318\n\nAdjourned till 9 A.M. on Monday.",

        "content_text": "## 321\n\nHe appeared to be leaning against a staunchion or something. I couldn't see him distinctly; he was dressed in dark clothes. I cannot say where he was standing. Heard no hail from the Bombay, nor from the other ship. I did not watch the other vessel for any time - not for three minutes. Before I went forward to the forecastle, I could just see her astern of us as I turned round to go to the forecastle. When I last saw her, she was not half a ship's length astern of us. I could have seen her hull further off than a mile. I heard no gun, and I saw no flash of a gun from the other ship at any time. I saw no signals from her of any sort. If any had been made I could not have seen them, as I was over the bows. I did not think the other vessel was very much hurt. I had not time to see whether she was or not when I left.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG - My post is on the forecastle when coming into harbour. My duty is to assist in looking out, and stand by the anchors. When I first saw the steamer I think she was about a mile off. I couldn't say exactly. I saw three lights first. I saw the mast head, the green and the red lights. I looked out from the centre of the forecastle. I could tell that she was on our port bow about half a point. I saw her red light shut out. At that time she was perhaps about four or five ship's lengths ahead of us. I don't remember if the green light was shut out before the collision, or not. I went to the stern of the vessel to avoid the debris. I didn't see the 2nd and the 4th officers, and don't know where they were. I was standing on the poop ladder. I had hold of the poop rail when the collision took place. It was not a strong shock. The ships separated immediately after the collision. I could not feel any recoil on our own vessel; it appeared to go straight on. The other vessel was on our starboard side. Her bows were bearing off, and she presented her starboard quarter to us. As she passed, I saw a light through her hull where the breach was made. I cannot say how large a piece was broken out. The hole may have been a little larger than a port. It was larger fore and aft than it was up and down. I should think it looked about 6 to 8 feet long fore and aft. Up and down it may have been 6 feet. I saw a man apparently leaning up against something through this hole. I could not see his legs. I saw a light, but I did not see a lamp from which it came. I saw a portion of a table. I saw nothing on that table. I think it looked red. I saw nothing else. The man was further off than the table. I don't know whether the light was over or at the side of the table. Cannot say how far the bottom of the breach appeared to be above the water. I didn't see the wheel. Where I was standing was about 20 feet abaft the bridge. My position was lower than the bridge. I was on the spar deck, just about 12 feet abaft the funnel when I saw what I have now described. I stood about the middle of the deck, being on my way forward. Did not lean over the bulwarks. The bridge is about 10 feet higher than the deck on which I was standing. The ship was right abeam of us, as I stood looking at her, the life-boat of the Bombay just abreast of me. I saw under the life-boat; there was nothing but the life-boat between me and the bridge. I don't know of any reason why a person standing on the bridge could not have seen the same things as I did. I saw only one man there. I saw no one else on the vessel at all. I saw nothing knocked over or broken off the other vessel. I did not see if she had a smoke stack or not. I did not see them clew up sail. When she was abreast or nearly abeam of our quarter, I heard an order given calling all hands to shorten sail; soon afterwards I lost sight of her. I went forward, and looked over the bows to see what our own damage was. I saw a gaff lying fore and aft of the bowsprit, mizen boom hanging up and down, leaning against the flakes of our anchor, and the sail hanging over our topmast staff. I found our bobstay gone. I saw the figure head was all gone, and the stern; but I could not see low down as it was so dark. I saw the spar in our stem before we were anchored; but I cannot say at what time I saw it. I did not think the other vessel was seriously injured because I saw her upper works were gone. I did not report to any one on board that I heard the order to shorten sail. I did not tell any one about the hole in the side of the ship; nor that I had seen the table and the man. I saw a man's body, but not his legs. He seemed to be still; but I could not see whether he was in uniform or not. I cannot say whether the place I saw looked like a cabin. It appeared to be in the upper part of her. It might have been a poop saloon; and it appeared to me so. The man was abaft the table - say three or four feet back. I did not notice if the man had his hat on or not. I never mentioned to any one what I saw.\n\nI was employed all the time, and too busy to speak to any one, and no one spoke to me.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD. - I did not notice whether there was a poop on the other vessel. I know the light came from a broken place. I cannot be certain whether that broken place was above or below the spar deck. There is a screen on either side of the bridge of the Bombay, to keep the side lights out of the officers' eyes. I should think the top of the screens extend close on five feet above the bridge. You cannot see the lights from the bridge. You cannot see over the lights - it obstructs the view directly abeam of it. I could look abaft it, and I don't think my view would be obstructed by the light, but I cannot say. The life-boat is hoisted about five feet above the deck - the keel would be say 18 inches above the rail. I was never on the bridge when the side lights were burning. I saw only one light on the other ship. I saw no signals and heard no guns. I occupy the same berth as the carpenter, but I do not believe that I mentioned anything that I had seen to him. The carpenter said nothing to me about what he had seen.\n\nTo the Court - Looking under the boat, I could have seen the toprope of the other ship if it was there. The side lights are on the fore corner of the bridge. The light-screens are about two feet wide.\n\n(Signed) WILLIAM HERBERT,\n\nI \n\nDAVID DIRRELL, Sworn, states: - I am a quarter-master of the Bombay. My duty is to heave the lead. A little before the collision I was waiting ready to heave the lead. I did not see the other vessel while so waiting. I didn't see the other vessel before the collision. I heard the gong amidships when the collision took place. I then ran forward just to the break of the forecastle. When I got there I saw a vessel under sail, clear of us on the starboard bow. I then ran aft to assist the man at the wheel. After I got aft I heard some one on board the other vessel sing out \"steamer ahoy.\" The second officer answered \"Hallo.\" We got no answer back. Then the second and fourth officers both sung out upwards of half a dozen times. The second officer leaned over the port quarter listening for a reply. I was standing on the starboard quarter. We heard no reply whatever. After the collision we could see the hull of the other vessel, but not distinctly. She must have been half a ship's length off and passing us very quickly. At the time I did not notice that she was damaged. I did not see a hole in her. I saw a light which I supposed to be her binnacle light. It was shining aft, towards her taffrail. The light did not show me anything.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD. - I did not see the flash of a gun, or hear the report of one from the other vessel. I was watching towards the vessel for about a quarter of an hour after the collision, in order that I might see a signal if any were made; but I saw none. I could not see if she had any boats or not. I saw she was a steamer after she had passed us. I saw white water, as if the screw were revolving. Did not see her clew up her sails; but heard some one on board sing out, \"shorten sail.\" That was as she passed us.\n\nI did not answer their hail, but the 2nd and 4th officers and the quartermaster did.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG. - I heard \"steamer ahoy\" twice from the other vessel. The cries were called twice, one after the other. The quartermaster and second officer also called \"Hallo.\" The answer was given about a dozen times, but no reply came to any of our answers. The second-class passenger was standing by me. When the collision occurred, it seemed to me that the vessel had grazed along the shore. It didn't make me stagger or step forward or anything. When I saw the hull after colliding, I was at the break of the forecastle, and the other vessel was a half ship's length from us. I ran forward to see what the other vessel was. I wanted to see what was to be seen. I was not there three minutes. When I saw the other vessel going aft, I went aft to assist at the wheel. I did not see any person on board. The binnacle light I saw was aft, on her stern. I looked at her from our stern. I could see her masthead light for some time - at least I thought it was her masthead light; as I saw the glimmer on the sails. I judged it was a binnacle light, as I thought it would be the place for a binnacle light. I could see the binnacle light some distance astern.\n\n(Signed) DAVID DIRRELL\n\nAdjourned until 9 A.M.\n\n## FIFTH DAY\n\nTUESDAY, 1ST FEBRUARY, 1870\n\nProceedings resumed 9 A.M. 1st February, 1870.\n\nJAMES KEITH ANGUS, sworn, states. I was a passenger on board the S.S. Bombay at the time of the collision between her and another vessel on the 24th January. I was standing at the foot of the poop ladder with the Chief Engineer on the port side of the ship between 6 and 7 P.M. The Chief Engineer made a remark that there was a steamer coming down. Shortly after he said, \"where's the steamer? there'll be a smash,\" or words to that effect. Looking forward, I saw some dark object straight ahead of us; and I seized hold of the rail of the poop steps. Immediately after that a crash came - a very slight crash indeed. I ran across toward the starboard side and I had not got quite to the other side when a ship passed very quickly. Nearly immediately after that I went upon the poop and to the stern, close to the taffrail to see if there was any signal made from her, and to gratify my curiosity. I saw nothing more of the ship; and I saw no signals.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD. - I should say that if any one on board had heard or seen signals I could have. I noticed the vessel as she was passing. I really could not say how distant she was from us while passing. She was not very far off. I think I watched her intently. I did see a slight breakage - at least it appeared to me to be so, as if something had carried away. She appeared to me to look like the English gunboat Dove which has a poop. The slight breakage I saw was at the top of this poop. I noticed no object such as a man or men at this breakage. I saw no portion of the debris in the water. I could not tell whether the breakage was of a boat or of the poop. I saw the glare of light, but I could not see a distinct light. I did not think what the light was; it might have been the flashing of a port or any other light. I heard \"steamer ahoy\" called from the other ship. I can't say if this was answered. I did not hear any answer. After the collision, I remained nearly five minutes at the stern. I could not see the vessel at the end of that time. The commander was on the bridge with the pilot and Chief officer at the time of collision. She was under sail and steam. I saw the sails and I saw the propeller moving.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG. - I came on shore shortly after the ship anchored. I was in the boat with the Pilot. I did not remark to the Pilot that I thought we should have remained by that ship. Mr. Watson was in the boat with me. I did not take notice that he made such a remark. I went to my house at No. 4, directly I had landed. I have talked about the collision since I arrived at Yokohama. I have never stated anything further than I have now said. I could not say whether the light appeared to emanate from the breach - as the ship passed me the light did not appear to me to come from any particular place, it passed so quickly. I could not describe the size of the breach I saw in the other ship; the vessel passed so quickly.\n\nCertainly, it did not look to be as large as a ship's boat; it appeared to me to be on the top of the poop. I only heard \"steamer ahoy\" called once. I heard no other voice from the other vessel. I did not hear her steam whistle go. I heard no report of a gun and saw no flash. I heard \"steamer ahoy\" called before I went on the poop, when I ran across to the starboard side; the vessel just passed at that moment. When I commenced to ascend the poop steps, I should say the vessel must have been at our stern; when I looked over the side the other vessel had nearly but not quite passed the point where I was standing. I ran directly from the side of the ship up the poop ladder, and to the stern.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD. In going up the poop ladder I should probably take hold of the railing at any time as the ladder is steep. The shock was not strong enough to have thrown me down, and I do not think that it would have staggered me even though I had not been holding on to anything.\n\nTo the Court. I don't think I saw the hull of the other vessel before I got actually to the starboard side, but I saw her sails. I may have stood a minute or a minute and a half before going up the poop steps. I did not think that the other vessel had sustained any serious injury. The impression left on my mind after what I saw was that we had merely grazed her and knocked in her bulwarks or something of that kind; the breach did not appear to me to be like a large hole in the ship's side which would endanger her safety. I saw the 2nd and 4th officers on the poop. I cannot say exactly when I first noticed them, but when I did they were standing near the forward compass. I know Capt. Eyre and know him to be a kind and humane man. I heard the result of the collision next morning I think. I was very much surprised when I heard that she had gone down.\n\n(Signed) J. KEITH ANGUS,\n\nSAMUEL DENTON, sworn, states. I am a Quartermaster on board the Bombay. At the time of the collision I was on watch at the wheel. Before the collision, I heard the gong of the engine-room sound; I think this was between two and three minutes before the collision. I was in charge of the wheel. Before the collision I got an order to alter the helm; this order was before I heard the engine-room gong - perhaps a minute or two before. The order to me was \"hard a port.\" I kept it hard a port a little over three minutes perhaps four minutes. There was no order to steady the helm after the order to port. The helm was put from hard a port to hard a starboard without steadying. We have a telegraph to tell us how to steer. The first order by the telegraph was hard a port, and I kept the helm hard a port till the order came \"hard a starboard,\" when I put it hard a starboard. This was immediately preceding the collision. I had only one order to port the helm.",

        "content_text": "322\n\nI could only hear the gong strike once. The order to port the helm was spoken and telegraphed at the same time. There was no order given to steady the helm after I had ported it, nor was there a second order to port the helm. I kept the helm hard a port until the order was given to hard a starboard; and the helm was hard starboard at the time the collision took place. I had been on watch from four o'clock. I can't say whether I had received an order to port the helm, a little before the order which I have referred to or not. The night was dark; I could just distinguish a man from one side of the vessel to the other. \n\nTo Mr. DE LONG. About three minutes before the collision, I heard the engine gong strike and could tell by the vibration that the engines were stopped. It was before I heard the bell that I got the order to port the helm; it was perhaps a minute or a minute and a-half before; perhaps it was two minutes and a-half after I had heard the bell that I got the order to hard a starboard. I immediately obeyed the order. It took about half a minute to change the helm from hard a port to hard a starboard, so that the vessel could feel it; it was about three minutes after I heard the engine-room bell, that the vessels came together. I could not say what course we were steering when I got the order to port, or how the wheel was. I know it was not hard a port or hard a starboard. I only saw the mast-head light before the collision. I should think it was about four or five minutes before the collision that I saw the mast-head light; it bore a little on the port side. I saw it for three or four seconds, and then I did not see it any more. The helm was steady when I first saw the light; it remained steady until I received the order hard a port. I didn't feel the shock of the collision much; didn't feel anything of it. I couldn't hear much crashing as I was right aft. I heard \"steamer ahoy\" sung out from the other vessel twice, one after the other. These shouts were after the vessel got astern. I answered the hail; I said \"halloo,\" the hail was said twice before I could give any answer; the 2nd and 4th officers also answered. I did not hear the steam whistle of the other vessel. I heard no guns from the other vessel. Didn't see the flash of any guns. I heard an order to shorten sail given on the other vessel but no other order. I didn't see anything done in obedience to that order. I didn't see any person on board the other ship. I did not observe anything particular on the other ship. I saw a boat or a part of a boat, but I could not distinguish what it was. I mean by a part a broken portion of a boat: this was either on the poop or hanging to the davits on the vessel's side. I cannot say I saw anything like a breach in the poop or side of the other vessel. I saw a light that came through a port, or something; it appeared to me to be a square port about 18 inches or it might have been more each way. I saw no other light than that one. I couldn't look through that light and didn't see into the vessel.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD.—I did not report that I had heard the order to shorten sail; we answered the call in a loud tone of voice; and the wind was with my voice.\n\nTo the COURT.--My duty at the wheel is to see that the vessel is steered straight. It is my duty to see that the ship is kept on her course when an order is given to steady. I look at the compass to see how her head is. I couldn't tell what course we were steering ten minutes before the collision. I think it was somewhere from N. to N. N. W. I don't know how her head was when she struck the Oneida.\n\n(Signed)  \nSAMUEL DENTON.\n\nJOHN WILKINSON, sworn, states—I am 2nd engineer of the Bombay. I was on watch in the engine room at the time of collision. I stopped the engine; this was a minute or a minute and a half before I felt the collision. The next order after that was go ahead easy—as near as I could judge, perhaps four to five minutes elapsed between these two orders. I keep a log-book; there is a slate in the engine room, for incidents of the watch. A rough log is made up from the slate; and this again re-copied into the chief engineer's log. I made those entries on the slate about ten minutes after stopping; it may have been a little longer after; it was about 8 o'clock that evening that I made the entries in the rough log. The collision was light. I did not know it was a collision until we stopped; it took about half a minute to stop the engines. The chief engineer came into the engine room just as I was stopping the engine. The engine bilge pumps are always at work.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG—I have brought the rough log with me, this is it. (Produced) Extract.  \n| Time | Order |\n|------|-------|\n| About | Stop 6.15 |\n| About | Easy ahead 6.19 |\n|  | Full speed 6.21 |\n\nWe were going I suppose eight knots before the collision. The collision occurred about half a minute after we had stopped. I cannot judge well of the speed of the vessel. I should say that one minute after the engines are stopped, the speed of the ship would be reduced by one-half. I was present when the above entry was made in that book, but I didn't do it myself; the fourth engineer made it. Those two words \"about,\" were entered at the same time, and by the same person I believe. I should say that a vessel going at eight knots would be almost stopped four minutes after her engines were stopped.\n\nTo the COURT.—There is a clock in the engine room. It is at my back as I stand to alter the engines. I felt a light shock at the time of the collision. And I felt a rebound of our vessel. It was after the ship was under weigh going full speed ahead, that I entered the above extract on the slate. The time thereon noted is to the best of my judgment; but I did not look at the clock on receiving the order to stop or easy ahead, or full speed. I should say that I made the entries on the slate about five minutes after the order full speed was given. And this must have been at about half-past 6 o'clock; generally an order to \"stand by\" is given before an order to alter the engines is received. In this instance, there was no order to stand by.\n\n(Signed)  \nJOHN WILKINSON.\n\nROBERT SMITH, Sworn, states.—I am bed-room steward of the Bombay. I and the carpenter were pacing the deck forward on the port side just before the collision. I saw the sails of the other vessel. I don't know when the collision took place. I don't remember feeling it at all. The carpenter said there was a collision, and I ran aft that I might not get hurt. I went into the saloon almost immediately after leaving the break of the poop. I saw a light on the other ship, or a square place for the light. Before entering the saloon, didn't notice any other light. Could see the smoke from her funnel. I have no idea how far she was off when I saw her. I saw the foam of the water astern as if her screw was going on. I saw no signals from the other vessel. I heard some one sing out \"Halloo\" on board our ship. I couldn't see what had happened on board the other vessel. I could not distinguish anything to speak of on board the other vessel. I was standing alongside the carpenter; the carpenter and I both ran aft together. I don't know if the carpenter was called away, or if he was standing on the deck when I went below. I don't remember speaking to the carpenter; there was only one first class gentleman passenger.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG—There was one second class passenger. I believe his name is Watson. I am not certain if I saw a table in the other ship. I don't know if I did. I couldn't say what I saw exactly on board the other vessel. I didn't see a lamp but I saw a light. I have no idea what size the place from which the light issued appeared to be. I have seen our own ships with gangway ports. I didn't know but what this might have been a gangway port. I can't tell if I thought it was a gangway port or not; all I can say is that it was a light. I should think that what I saw such as a table or something must have been between decks. I can't tell whether I saw what I thought to be a table with a cloth on it or not. I didn't notice if I saw a chair. I didn't see a chair, nor nothing. I fancy I saw two or three men where I saw the light; or rather part of men. Men standing up. I didn't notice what they were doing. I saw something like wood in the water, but I don't know what it was; whether it was a boat or not I can't say. At the time I saw the light I was standing at the break of the poop. I have no idea how far this is abaft the bridge. I don't know whether I or the carpenter left the place first. I heard no shout from the other ship. I didn't hear her steam whistle go. I heard no gun, saw no flash as from any gun. I only heard \"halloa\" sung out once before I went into the saloon. I did not report what I had seen to any of the officers of the ship.\n\n(Signed)  \nROBERT SMITH.\n\nProceedings resumed at 1 P.M.  \nAUBREY HAMERTON, 3rd officer, re-called, sworn,\n\nTo Mr. De LONG—I came ashore with the mail. I went into a hotel while ashore, with the chief steward. I don't know Mr. Curtis or Mr. Hiltz. I did not give an account of this collision in the hotel. I was asked about it but said I didn't know. I didn't hear the steward say anything about it. I did not make a statement that we had run into any vessel. One gentleman did ask me if we had stopped to see what damage had been done to the other vessel. I believe my answer was that we had stopped and nothing else. I don't remember being asked why we hadn't enquired into the damage sustained by the other vessel. I did say, \"there was the mistake,\" or words to that effect. I did not say that the \"Bombay's\" bows went into the Oneida, and the I could see some of the officers removing a man hurt by the collision, as I supposed, but that we did not stop but made the best of our way to Yokohama roads. I did not use any language to that effect; all I said was, that it was a mistake.\n\nTo THE COURT.—I did not say to the Captain or any of the other officers at any time, that it was a mistake not to have stopped; it was to a question that was asked me that I replied \"there was the mistake.\" It was a casual answer that I gave, and the fact of its having been a mistake not to have waited did not strike me until the question had been asked me. I think the question asked me was \"why did you not stop by the ship.\" I couldn't say if the answer was made in reply to a question which was put in a manner to make me think that my interrogator was finding fault with me. I did not in that hotel give an account of the circumstances of the collision. I don't know who the person who asked me the question was. I was about three to five minutes at the hotel.\n\n(Signed)  \nAUBREY HAMERTON.\n\nARTHUR T. WATSON, sworn, states: I was on board the \"Bombay\" on the evening of the 24th instant; a collision took place on that day. I don't know at what time. I did not witness that collision; I was not on deck but on the main deck at the time of the collision. I didn't know there had been a collision. I felt a slight shock which made me think we had struck on a sand bank. After feeling the shock I ran on to the poop. I saw from the poop a vessel passing us very rapidly; she was quite close. When I saw her she had all her sails set, and her screw was revolving very rapidly. I could see that a place—I suppose you call it the quarter, near the rudder, was cut away; the only thing I caught sight of was what I thought to be a table. I immediately ran abaft the wheel to see what would become of her, and suddenly thought I saw her mast-head light as if she was turning back again to come into harbour. I then ran forward and said, \"Oh she's coming up behind.\"—That is all I have to say. I can't say where what I thought to be a table was—it was not on the upper deck, it appeared to be in the interior of the vessel. In order to have seen it I must have looked through a hole in the vessel of some kind or other. I did not pay particular attention to that hole; it was so sudden, one couldn't do so. It did not occur to me that the hole was an unusually large one. I did not notice the shape of the hole; it was a table that I saw; I saw the legs as I thought; I did not notice the top of the table. I did not see any person or figure of a man near the table. I could not distinguish that any part of the ship was broken; the hole which I saw was a breach in the vessel's side. I cannot give any idea of how large it was. I watched the vessel out of sight. I heard no gun. I saw no flash of a gun. I saw no rocket go up, nor a blue light burned; I had no signal been made, I think I could have seen it from the position where I was. When I thought I saw the mast-head light I didn't notice any coloured lights. I have not been employed at sea. It was through the place which was cut away that the light came. I did not notice whether she had a poop. I didn't see her wheel. I saw nothing fall from that ship into the water. I saw a few broken splinters in the water. I did not notice if she had any boats or not; never having been to sea before I thought it strange we didn't stop. I can't say whether I asked anyone on board why we hadn't stopped. I didn't ask the Captain why we hadn't stopped, nor the chief nor second officer. I can't say that I asked an officer why we had not stopped. We were speaking about the occurrence afterwards on board, and I may have said what I saw. I can't say whether it was on board that we were speaking of what had happened. I can't recollect who were present. When we were talking the only opinion I passed was—that I thought it strange we didn't stop. What I saw did not lead me to believe that she was dangerously damaged. I should certainly have thought it my duty at once to go to the Captain or some responsible officer and tell him if I had thought that the vessel was so seriously damaged that she must sink. I don't know to whom I addressed myself when I said, \"Oh, there she is a coming after us,\" but I don't think any of the officers were there.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD—I saw the American Consul a few days ago at the U.S. Consulate. I was sent for by the U.S. Consul. No one was present when I saw the Consul; he had sent me a verbal message. I believe the message was sent me on Tuesday afternoon. I was not in at the time it came, but was told that my presence was requested at the U.S. Consulate that afternoon, or the first thing the next morning. I did not see the U.S. Consul till Wednesday morning. The message was requesting my presence. The Consul asked me what I saw. I told him simply what I saw just now. He asked me why we hadn't stopped. I said I didn't know. I was not there three minutes. I was not called on any Court of Inquiry at the U.S. Consulate. The light which I saw coming astern of us may have been from a light-house for what I know; I only know that I thought at the time that it was the mast-head light of the other vessel.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG.—I came ashore in the boat with the pilot and Mr. Angus. I can't say if I said then that it was wrong not to have stayed by the vessel. I went to the International Hotel that evening. I know Mr. Curtis the proprietor by sight. I said on that evening just what I have said now. In fact, I turned round to some one and said, \"we'll go and have a look at that vessel, (meaning the Oneida), tomorrow morning; she is sure to be in harbour.\" I did not make a statement to the effect that I had seen a man through the hole. I did say we had knocked a hole that we could see into. I did not say anything of the sort, that we had knocked her whole stern out of her. I did not hear the Oneida's whistle blow. I heard the Bombay's blow for some few minutes; this was previous to the collision. I didn't hear it after the collision. I did not see any one at all on board the other vessel. The only thing I heard from the other vessel was \"steamer ahoy,\" to which answer was made by two persons on board our vessel, but no reply was received. I only heard \"steamer ahoy\" called once.\n\nI can't give any definite idea of the size of the hole in the other ship. I couldn't answer at all as to how large the hole was. It did not appear to me that I saw a portion of a cabin through that hole. I only saw a part of a table, and I should think that it was a square table. I did not notice whether there was a cover on it or not. In fact, the whole thing occurred so quickly that I could hardly tell you anything definite. I did not see anything on this table. I didn't see any lamp through this hole. I saw no trunks, chairs or anything of that kind. The sails appeared to me to be filled as she passed. \n\n(Signed)  \nA. T. WATSON.\n\nROBERT B. CLEMENTS, Lieut. of H.M.S. Ocean, sworn, states. I went on board the Bombay on the evening of the 24th. I boarded the steamer as officer of the guard; and asked to see the Captain. He came out of his cabin; I said to him \"what a long way out you have anchored.\" He asked me whom he might have the honour of addressing. I told him who I was, and that I wanted the senior officer's mails. He said he thought he was quite justified in anchoring so far off, as it was difficult to tell at what distance the lights were. He had never been on the coast of Japan before, and that he was also in the hands of a pilot who had advised him to anchor there; besides that he had cut the quarter off the Yankee frigate in coming up the bay. I then said it must have been the Oneida. I hope she is not seriously damaged, and is she in want of assistance? He said no, he thought not. He had laid to for some time, and he saw no signal denoting that she wanted assistance. He added that it was seeing no signals of distress that he had made up his mind to go on and land his passengers and mails. He said he thought she wouldn't go on, but that she would come back here to repair damages; and that he had got some of her booms and sails on board, and that he must have knocked some of her boats away or something of that sort. I asked him if he was damaged himself? He said that he was, and that the ship was making water, but nothing very serious. After that I proposed that I should go into the saloon and wait for the mails. We talked on different things. Either the doctor or the Captain, I can't say which, said that he could see the lights in her cabins. That was all that took place regarding the collision.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD—There was a midshipman called Stephens in the boat with me. I think he went on deck afterwards, but he was not present during the conversation. A Lieutenant named Leventhorpe was on board the Bombay before me, but not on duty.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG.—It was between 8 and 9 PM that I boarded the steamer. I did not board her the next morning. I can't say whether the doctor and Captain were both present when the remark was made, that the cabin could be seen into. I don't know whether it was the Captain or the doctor who said it. One of them certainly did, as they were the only two to whom I spoke. I will swear that Captain Eyre said to me, \"I have cut off the quarter of a Yankee frigate.\" He said \"serve her right, she crossed my bows with a starboard helm.\" I said that was a curious thing to do. I hope you are reporting. I know that Mr. Leventhorpe had been on board before me. He told me afterwards that he had informed Captain Eyre that it must have been the Oneida with which the Bombay had collided. Mr. Leventhorpe had left the Bombay before I had arrived. The Captain did ask me to have a glass of brandy and water; it was when I got back to my own ship that I saw Mr. Leventhorpe; and learned from him, that he had told Capt. Eyre what vessel he had run into. Capt. Eyre did not lead me to believe that the Oneida had sustained serious injury. I reported to my Captain that it was a trivial thing.\n\n(Signed)  \nROBT. B. CLEMENTS.\n\nTHOMAS H. LEVENTHORPE sworn, states.—I am a Lieutenant on board H.M.'s S. Ocean. I boarded the Bombay on the night of her arrival almost directly she had anchored. I was not on duty; the midshipman of the boat was with me; his name is Henderson. The first officer I conversed with was the doctor. In the course of conversation he asked me what steamer had gone out that evening? I told him the only one I knew of was the American man-of-war Oneida. He told me they had been in collision with a steamer, and that probably that was the one. Afterwards I saw Captain Eyre, and he described the collision to me. He told me he saw lights about half a point on his port bow; that he had ported his helm and was all clear; then that the other vessel had evidently put her helm to starboard and run right across his bows. He also told me that he had turned on the whistle and stopped his engines before the collision. I think I made the remark that she would surely put back; he said \"yes, you will see her before long.\" Somebody said on board that they could see right into her saloon, but I am not sure who it was made the remark. I believe Captain Eyre was present when this remark was made. Several people were there on deck at the time. Mr. Angus was there at the time I know; but it was a dark night and I could not distinguish faces. I cannot swear that the Captain heard what passed. No conversation took place about...",

        "content_text": "324\n\n\nnight. I arrived at the light-house at about three or a quarter past three o'clock in the afternoon. I waited there in order to try and get a passage up by a steamer, the smoke of which I saw at Caps Sagami. I did put off to the mail steamer when she was quite abreast of Kisousaki point. I went, I suppose, better than half a mile. There were two men in the boat. The steamer was going from 8 to 8.5 knots. I should think she was to the North of Kanousaki point when I turned round and left her. It took about ten minutes to pull back to the shore. When I got on shore, I went into the Japanese hotel again and finished dinner. It was about twenty-five minutes after I entered the hotel that I heard the guns. A man called Broderick was with me at dinner at the hotel. Have been in Japan going on for 11 years. I am an American citizen. There was only one foreigner besides myself, and ten to fifteen Japanese if not more. There are only three boats where I was. You could get plenty more by going about a mile. I am not aware that Broderick endeavoured to induce any Japanese to put off after hearing the guns. I did not consult with Broderick whether we should put off or not. I knew it was no use to offer any more than ten boos, as the boatmen would not go out at all. I am quite certain that I only heard four guns.\n\nSince I have been in Japan, I have been sent to San Francisco to stand my trial on a criminal charge. I decline to answer with what offence I was charged. I don't know if I was convicted of that offence. I decline to answer the question any way. I don't hold any license or written permission to act as a pilot here. I did not try to get the boats which were lying a mile off to go out, as I knew they would not go; besides the night was dark. I did not see any lights on the spit. I of course should have gone to get the other boats to go out, had I thought that the guns I heard were a signal that life was in danger, or that a ship was sinking in mid-channel. My impression was, that the vessel was on shore, and that there was no danger to life. The Japanese would not take me off, because they were not servants of mine. At the time I wanted to go off, there was a nice breeze from N. N. E. Broderick is somewhere in Yokohama. I don't know if he is a sailor or not. He has lately arrived from Nagasaki. I have never had charge of a ship as master. I was chief officer of a sailing vessel for six or seven months.\n\nTo Mr. De Love. The crime for which I was put upon my trial, was not perjury.\n\nThere are three Japanese in the light-house; no European has been in charge for some time. There is no light put there. The clock I referred to as having been stopped, was the light-house clock; the Japanese told me it was broken. The Hotel is two hundred or two hundred and fifty yards from the light. A Japanese keeps the Hotel. Japanese use the Hotel principally, but a pilot can get a meal there.\n\n(Signed)\n\n**JAMES CAVANAGH**\n\nISAAC I. YATES, sworn, states. My rank in the American Navy is that of master, and that was my rank on board of the Oneida. I am considered to be a responsible officer to take charge of a ship. The Oneida left Yokohama at 5.15 P.M., on the 24th January bound for Hongkong. We were cheered by the various men-of-war as we left. The general understanding was that the ship was homeward bound. After passing the lightship, just outside the anchorage, Mr. Stewart, a Lieutenant Commander and executive officer having charge of the ship, set all plain sail. This brought the ship under sail and steam. He braced the yard something about 3 points. He braced them in with the starboard braces; the vessel was on the port tack. The port tacks were hauled on board some. At 5.45 as near as I can remember Mr. Stewart sent for me and asked me if it was my dock. I told him it was and I relieved him. He told me that the masthead and side lights were burning and the lookouts were stationed; the man at the lead both sides and the proper men at the wheel. He also told me, the course S. by E. ¼ E. Mr. Moldaur, the navigating officer, was also on the bridge. (I relieved Mr. Stewart on the bridge) I asked him after Mr. Stewart went away to assure myself of the course; he told me again S. by E. ¼ E. So we headed. At 6 o'clock I relieved the watch, sent the port watch on deck, and ordered the officer of the forecastle of the starboard watch, Mr. Adams, to heave the log. He reported her going 6 knots and 6 fathoms. I thought she might be going a little faster, so I asked him again, and he was positive. He asked me if he should put it in his log. I told him no, that we must make an allowance for the quarter of an hour during which we were at anchor. Mr. Adams was then relieved by Mr. Hall, a midshipman. Before this, when I asked Mr. Moldaur about the course, he told me he wanted me to send a quartermaster on to the forecastle with a glass on the port side to keep a lookout for Saratoga spit buoy, which he told me was somewhere on the port bow. I sent for a quartermaster, and found it was William Boyston, signal quartermaster; he reported to me with the glass. I told him to go on the forecastle, and keep a lookout for this buoy on the port bow, and he went there. At 6 o'clock, he was relieved by Thomas Woolley, quartermaster. At 7.20, as near as I can judge, I thought we were sort of drifting in to starboard as Kanonsaki was drawing more ahead; we had had it a point on the starboard bow. I thought we were sagging in toward the western shore. I sent for Mr. Moldaur and gave the order to starboard a little; the ship was heading out to port slowly; my object was to put the light to the same bearing; just then the quartermaster on the forecastle reported a steamer right ahead; and I saw a steamer's mast-head light coming round Kanousaki point, and this light passed from ahead to starboard; then when I turned round, I saw Mr. Moldaur, who asked me, \"what's the matter, Yates?\" I said, \"I think we are sagging into starboard, and I ordered the helm to starboard; and there is a steamer's mast-head light passing from ahead to starboard\"; but Mr. Moldaur said, \"I can't go any more to port, we must head our course.\" I asked the quartermaster how the ship then headed, he said S. E. by S., so that she must have came up 1 point and, then I ordered her on her course, and when she got there, the quartermaster reported her so; that course was S. by E. ¼ E. When the ship was on her course, we could see the steamer's mast-head light on our starboard bow and changing its bearing further aft. Not long after, Mr. Moldaur and I both saw her green light, and her mast-head light a point on our starboard bow. She was then evidently running nearly parallel to us, pretty well into the western or starboard shore. Mr. Moldaur said, \"you see her green light there\" and I said \"yes\" and he said, \"she'll pass to starboard of us\" which was also my idea. She was then over three miles off; we were on our course all the time, S. by E. ¼ E., and we were of course approaching each other. When the steamer was a mile off, three points on the starboard bow, I saw she had put her helm to port, by the new direction in which she headed; she headed right for our green light. I was standing on the starboard side of the bridge where I had been standing all the time since we had made this steamer, and I saw her heading for me; and the instant her red light opened (then I saw all three lights), I gave the order “starboard,” then \"hard a starboard.\" The quartermaster answered me from the wheel. We headed off rapidly to port and kept heading off that way; when this steamer was a short distance from me, I can't judge how far exactly, she put her helm to starboard. If she had not starboarded her helm when she did, she would have struck forward of the point which she did strike. I didn't hear any order given on the other steamer, but I saw evidently that she headed to port and that her helm must therefore have been starboarded. I heard no noise on the steamer, and saw no signals made of any kind before or after the collision. Just about the time of collision, someone sang out, \"what the hell are you doing?\" Whether it was to someone on board the Oneida or to someone on the Bombay, I cannot say. She struck our ship not long after starboarding her helm; her helm was a starboard when she struck us; she struck us about the starboard mizen rigging, right abreast as I should judge, and at an angle of about 40 to 45 degrees, and she cut off the whole of the quarter diagonally, and carried away the poop, which went over the side astern; she also carried away our spanker boom and gaff, the wheel and starboard binnacle. She cut the gig in two and smashed it all up. The only binnacle we had left was the one on the port side. My ship was unmanageable—entirely so. As soon as she struck, I gave orders to shorten sail; the square sails were taken off the ship, and the main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main main and the square sails were taken off the ship, and the main-trysail too; the spanker was gone, but the head sails were not hauled down. As soon as she struck, the officers all rushed on deck. Captain Williams was brought on deck by two men, and Mr. Stewart, as soon as he touched the ship's deck, ran to the port side of the deck, jumped upon an arm chest near the rail, and sung out in a loud tone of voice, \"steamer ahoy, you have cut us down, remain by us.” The Bombay was at that time across the stern of the Oneida, but immediately went out of sight. I only heard Mr. Stewart shout out once, and I heard no one else hail the steamer. I heard no one answer from the Bombay. He then went down from the chest and said, \"for God's sake, aren't there any primers about here? where's Langman, where's the gunner's mate.\" All the primers that were aft were carried away, together with all the rockets that had been made up and all the blue lights and signals which might have been available—the lights were in a box made fast up underneath the poop fastened to the beams; the rockets were also made fast along the beams together; the boxes of primers were in the armouries which were situated on each side underneath the poop. Soon after, Thomas Stevenson got the primers, I believe, and Mr. Stewart and Mr. Adane loaded and fired a gun, it was the starboard No. 1, 3rd Division gun which was just forward of the bridge. Her calibre was thirty-two lbs. and the charge was 6 lbs. When the Captain came on deck, I told him that the ship had ported her helm and cut me down; he said, \"I know it, sir, but let us save the ship,\" and he gave orders to keep silence on deck. He then gave orders for shortening sail, but they had already commenced to do so. When I next saw the Captain, it was about a minute after I had just spoken to him; he asked me to go and see if the jib was easy. I went and saw, and came back and reported \"yes\" so he said that was right; then the order was given to set the foretopsail, with the idea of paying the ship off and running her ashore on the westward shore. There were several officers forward. I went forward and gave the order to man the topsail sheet. I saw Mr. Sargent there and then I heard Mr. Moldaur call out for me, and he wanted me to help him to get the pumps manned on deck; the carpenter was there and we got the pumps manned, and the men got to work on them; all the pumps were going, the steam pumps, and deck pumps, but the water was rising very rapidly, and the ship sinking very fast by the stern; just before she sank, Mr. Moldaur called me to see how she headed; I went aft and looked at the port binnacle, and she headed E. by N., and I judge that she must have run about two miles after the collision; she kept coming up all the time toward the eastward. (Just before the Bombay struck us, the officer on our forecastle called out, \"hard a port,\" but I didn't repeat his order, and I think his idea was to swing the ships parallel, as the Bombay was passing our centre. The Bombay's bow had got past the centre of our ship; the Bombay had already starboarded her helm). I then went and told Mr. Moldaur how she headed, and he told me to go on the bridge and tell the Captain. Mr. Moldaur was sounding with the lead, trying to find the bottom. I went up and told the Captain, but I don't remember that he said anything. Immediately Mr. Moldaur jumped on to the bridge and said, the ship would sink in three minutes by the stern; he begged the Captain to take to the boats; they had been clearing away the boats before this, and getting them ready to lower; the first and third cutters were the only boats we had after the collision except the dingy which was broken in two; she had been condemned and was only kept on the davits to stow gear in. But the Captain would give no orders to take to the boats; he replied to Mr. Moldaur, \"no, no—never mind the boats.\" I understood that Mr. Moldaur did, notwithstanding, give an order to take to the boats. About that time, the bridge was very near the water; just before it touched the water, I asked the Captain to jump with me into the cutter, which was a little way off; but he stood there. He made some reply, but I couldn't swear what the reply was; I think he said something about: \"I will sink with my ship\" but I thought that I would jump, so I jumped, and dropped my trumpet as I jumped. I sank. I had on cloth clothes and a heavy overcoat, and I came up and struck against the side of a boat with my head. I begged a man to haul me in; he laid hold of me and, while he was hauling me in, I turned my head to the right and I saw the foretopgallant mast sticking out of the water, but just going down, and when I got into the boat, I stood up and looked about for the ship, but I could see nothing of her, nor anything in the water then. Just then Mr. Crowninshield swam to the boat and begged me to haul him in; so we hauled him in. Then I saw an officer in his shirt sleeves, and he begged me to save him; he said, \"Yates, for God's sake save me.\" That was Mr. Stewart, the executive officer. I ordered the men to back down; they backed their oars, but he sank underneath the stern of the boat. I saw no other person but Mr. Stewart and Mr. Crowninshields. I may have seen Mr. Moldaur, but I won't be certain. I begged the men to stay by the ship and they did so, but we soon all saw that our boat was very full of men; they had quite a number in the boat when she was lowered, and half were hauled in afterwards. We had 44 in our boat; the boat was not very large, and there was a great deal of water in the boat, and the water was coming in a little; so orders were given to bail with shoes and hats. I soon saw that if we wanted to save ourselves, we would have to get on shore as soon as possible, and the men were clamouring to go on. They commenced to pull ahead. I begged them to stop, but they wouldn't; we headed for shore. I having given up all hope, we went before the wind, heading into land when possible, and steering with a long oar. At one time, just before we landed, we were very nearly capsized in the surf, but we finally all got on shore and landed at a village, just in a cove, this side of Kanonsaki light, that is, we landed on the rocks, whence we proceeded to the village. Some of us stayed there all night, but after I went to sleep, some of them straggled off. I got up in the morning, leaving Mr. Crowninshields and three men with him. I had started to walk on with a party of men and arrived at Yokoska at about 10 A.M. They treated us kindly there, and I found a number of my men there. I went out in a steam launch from Yokoska toward Kanonsaki, and met the Aspic, French gunboat; she had a boat astern with Mr. Lyons in charge. I got into the boat, and sent all my men in the launch to the Yangtze; then I went down in this boat with Mr. Lyons, towed by the Aspic. She soon cast us off, and we pulled in toward the shore; afterward I got into the English steam launch and we looked around the coast. I went into the English launch from Mr. Lyon's boat direct. I didn't go on shore, but I saw a Russian boat there, and the Captain of the Sylvia came alongside in his boat; then we went out in the launch down to the lightship, and then we went on shore, and I walked about on shore with some officers of the Idaho, and the Captain of the Sylvia also; this was about three o'clock.\n\nI then went on board the Sylvia, in which I came to Yokohama, and was then put on board the Idaho.\n\nAdjourned till 1.30 P.M.\n\nProceedings resumed at 1.30 P.M.\n\nMr. YATES said he had forgotten to mention that the Oneida's steam whistle was blowing from the time of the collision until just before the ship sunk. I saw the man Jacobson turn it on. Jacobson was lost.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG.—When I said that our lamps were out, I meant that they were out in the boxes; both side-lights and the masthead light were burning brightly. When we first saw the Bombay's red light, it was something over three minutes before the collision took place, as I saw all three lights and this vessel broad on my starboard bow, it was my duty to starboard my helm. If I had ported at that time, we should possibly have collided bows on; and I would no doubt have struck her on her starboard bow. If we had struck bows on, I think the Bombay would have cut into us very far. On leaving the anchorage, the Oneida passed to the East of the light-ship. I don't know exactly at what time we passed her. I saw the light-ship on our starboard side. The light-ship was about three cables lengths off when we passed. I relieved the deck at a quarter to six. The course passed to me on taking the deck was S. by E. ¼ E. I speak of the course by compass. I do know that there was not one-half of a degree deviation between the standard compass and the compass we were steering by. The navigator would know all these things. S. by E. ¼ E. was the course actually steered. And Mr. Moldaur, the navigating officer, would have made allowances for deviation and variation. The deviation of the compass on that course would not be over half a degree. I changed the course S. by E. ¼ E. once. I changed because I thought the ship was sagging into the Western shore. I headed up to S. E. by S. I headed up that way somewhere about four minutes. The next course to that was S. by E. quarter E. Mr. Moldaur ordered me to return to the original course; the reason was, \"I cannot stand any more to port.\" I left this latter course again on seeing a steamer on my starboard bow heading for me. I suppose about 12 or 15 minutes must have elapsed between the time that I received Mr. Moldaur's order to alter the course, and the time that I altered it on seeing the other steamer. The Bombay was three points on our starboard bow. When I deviated the second time, the vessels were about one mile apart at that time. I think the gun was fired four times from the Oneida; all the shots were from the same gun; the sound of the fourth was, I think, somewhat smothered, as the vessel was about sinking. The lieutenant wanted the gunner's mate to get primers and powder. I should judge the primers were got from forward; we fired four times from the same gun, because the primers and powder were at that gun; and I suppose Mr. Stewart kept them there. I only stayed there with him until he fired that one gun. None of the guns were loaded at the time of the collision. There were two lookouts on the forecastle, and one on the port side of the poop; those were all we had. One officer, Mr. Midshipman Hall, was on the forecastle all the time; there was also a quartermaster with a glass. I don't mean to say that all the signals on board, but that all that were quickly available, were lost, when the quarter was carried away. I should say that 30 seconds after the collision, the steam whistle was blown; and that five minutes elapsed before the first gun was fired. The Oneida floated fifteen minutes after collision. I think the tonnage of the Oneida was 1,030 tons, with the engine-room. (Admitted that the gross tonnage of the Bombay is 1,376 tons). The new tonnage of the Oneida was 695 tons. The Oneida had a poop-deck built up over the spar deck astern. There were double doors on each side of the deck, which closed this cabin in. Inside of this poop cabin, there was an armoury on each side; the tiller also came through there; and the relieving tackles were also in there. Abaft the tiller was a bath tub; and there were pegs in the cabin for coats. The officers need to hang their rain clothes in there. We also had large easy chairs in there. This place was used as a lounging and smoking room by the Captain and officers. Over-head, there were boxes for signals; there was a chart-table and a drawer with charts on the forward side against the bulk-head; it was quite a broad table. There was also spare gun-gear. There were always lamps kept in there; two were always kept alight in there at night. There were also some books; the log-book was sometimes kept in there. There was no cloth on the table: the colour of the table was a yellowish brown. The barometer and thermometers were in there. The cabin had two stern portes; and there were arrangements inside for setting off the life buoys. The Oneida's bridge was some distance, say one hundred feet, forward of the poop cabin. Outside the poop cabin on each side were water-closets. As regards the Captain's cabin, this was covered by a raised hatch with windows. There were windows in its sides. There was a movable slide to this hatch; \n\nEX",

        "content_text": "## SEVENTH DAY, THURSDAY, 3RD FEBRUARY, 1870.\n\nThis led down to the Captain's cabin, to which there was a moderately broad staircase. In the cabin, there was a table, which was covered with a red cloth the last time I saw it. The cabin had air ports, about four inches in diameter. In the first place, the poop cabin was entirely carried away by the collision; it was swept entirely into the sea; then I saw that the whole starboard quarter and stern were cut off. I was not down in the Captain's cabin, and cannot say how large a breach was made in it, or can I describe the breach. I should think the breach must have extended the whole breadth of the ship. I suppose the staircase leading to the Captain's cabin must have been cut off, as the Oneida was struck forward of that. I don't know how the Captain got on deck. I did not go and look over to ascertain the extent of this breach in the Oneida's stern. I think the Oneida ran about two miles after the collision before sinking but, after reflecting again, I have no means of judging the distance run. I cannot say how far she had run. I should judge that her propeller must have been injured, but I don't know. I should think her engines were not injured. I should like to say that I don't think the Oneida went two miles after the collision. I don't know how far she went, and had no means of judging. The wheel was cut away by the collision. The wind was from N.N.E. to N.E., principally N.E., force from 4 to 5; the Kanonsaki light bore one point on the starboard bow from the time of sighting it to the time of the collision, except when I altered course by reason of the ship sagging, when it was brought up nearly ahead. At no time before the collision, did it bear upon my port bow. It is a rule of the U.S. Navy, when the officer of the watch alters course, that he informs the navigating officer and the Captain of it, but on this occasion, I understood the Captain was not to be disturbed. I did notify the navigator and he came on deck. He stayed on deck about 10 minutes. When one of the U.S. Navy vessels is in a dangerous place, the navigator's post of duty is on deck. When any danger from a collision is apprehended, his post is also on deck, and if he considers it necessary, he can take charge of the ship. When I first saw the Bombay's light, it was a little to the left of Kanonsaki light, then it went to the right of the light. As it was rounding the point, I saw the starboard green light of the Bombay; it bore one point on the starboard bow. Twenty of the officers of the Oneida were lost and ninety-five men. The Oneida arrived on the China station at the end of 1887. The Bombay was one mile off when I noticed her heading for the Oneida. I could not have avoided her then by putting our helm aport. When you see the mast head and green light of an approaching steamer, the rule is to starboard the helm in order to give the other steamer a wide berth; this I did when I first saw the Bombay's lights. As far as I know, the helm was starboarded at the time of collision; at least, I had given no orders to change it.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD. The name of the lookout on the starboard forecastle is William Brittany, ordinary seaman; the man at the weather wheel is named Albert Rugaart, seaman; those are all of the lookouts who were saved. I was in charge of the deck when we first saw the Bombay's lights as officer of the watch. I was in charge of the ship at the time of the collision. We passed within three cables' length of the light ship, I should think. When I took charge of the deck, we were steering for Kanonsaki light--for a moment, that light was brought to bear almost right ahead. I don't know if Perry Island was in sight at that time. I did not know Perry's Island. I am unacquainted with the land in that locality. I am not supposed to know the land; as officer of the watch, I am supposed to know the course but not the peculiarities of the land. I thought the ship was sagging only from the fact of bringing the light more ahead, not from the position of the land to westward.\n\nI thought we were approaching the land to the westward. I could see the land, and the general outline of it. At that time, I should think the land to the westward was something between 4 or 5 miles distant. I was aware that we could approach it pretty close. I was at that distance when we sighted the Bombay's lights; we made the lights one point on the starboard bow; the other vessel was steering up toward Yokohama, her course would have taken her somewhere up by the lightship. I imagined that vessel was going to pass on the starboard side, because she was so far in toward the western shore, and we were some way out. We left Yokohama about 5:15 P.M., and came into collision with the Bombay at 6:45 P.M. Our time would have been the same as H.M.S. Ocean's time. When we saw all three lights of the Bombay, we were about a mile off. We were so close together, and approaching so rapidly, that I thought that if we ported our helm, we should collide; we were approaching each other at the rate of seventeen miles an hour, I should judge. Under the circumstances, our mizen and gaff topsails would be against our port helm; it is doubtful whether we should have had time to get them in before the collision. Allowing the vessel had no canvas on, and in fine weather, without canvas, and under steam, I don't know how long it would have taken the Oneida to turn round. When I saw the Bombay's green light, it did not occur to me that her red light must be just on the point of opening.\n\nThe Oneida usually went about seven and a half knots; the boilers and engines were out of order. When the speed was reported to me, it did not occur to me to doubt whether we were going so slowly. I didn't have the log heaved the second time, as I didn't think it necessary, as I took the word of the midshipman, and didn't wish him to think that I imagined he didn't know how to heave the log; that was the first time he had ever heaved a log on board our ship. It is possible and even probable that he might have missed a knot under those circumstances. I thought the Oneida might be going seven and a half knots, no more. The engines were not going fast, and there wasn't much wind. The engines did not turn so fast after six o'clock as they did before. I am not aware that it is usual for vessels to keep on the starboard side in a narrow channel. It did not occur to me that the Bombay might be too close to the western shore, and wanting to come out. Our engines were going but not very rapidly at the time of collision. No change was made in speed. I did not hear our hail answered. My purpose in ordering them to shorten sail was to decrease the ship's headway, knowing that we ought not to be under sail after collision. It was not very long, say five minutes after the collision, that we first discovered that the Oneida was making water dangerously; her sails were clewed up within the five minutes. I hadn't found out that the rudder was damaged at the time that the order was given to shorten sail; it was about two minutes after this that I found all the steering gear was out of order. The chief engineer must have reported that the ship was making water. Steps were taken to head the ship off to the western shore. I don't know that it occurred to anyone to beach the vessel on the Saratoga Spit. I believe that Mr. Moldaur thought we were below the spit. I didn't know; I hadn't seen the buoy. Our standard compass was on the poop, underneath the spanker boom, amidship. I think the navigating officer knew where he was with regard to the Saratoga Spit; he must have taken the bearings, he was always taking bearings when we were under weigh. I don't know whether he took the bearings of Perry's island or not.\n\nThough seeing only one light, I judged that the Bombay was running nearly parallel to us; immediately before the collision, I know that she must have starboarded her helm, as I could plainly see the Bombay's head go to port. The Bombay was running across our bows, and the Oneida was not running across the Bombay's bows. I don't want it understood for a moment that I admit that I crossed his bows. There were no flash-lights, blue lights, or any kind of signals on the bridge--it would not be as easy to get a rocket ready as to get ammunition from the magazine, as the rocket would have to be fastened to the stick. I don't think the rockets could have been got ready as soon as the gun was ready for firing. The Oneida's proper complement of boats was six, which I consider would be sufficient to save all hands; some of them would have carried provisions and some not. When we left Yokohama, we had not that complement; we were short three serviceable boats. I should judge that the launch and the 2nd cutter would each carry, say 45, and that the 3rd cutter would carry over 30; if we had had our proper complement of boats, we could not have carried the whole ship's company without the gig; with all the boats, we might just have saved all the ship's company. We carried spare booms all lashed outside; none were lashed inside; no order was given to cut away spars or to prepare for wreck. The order to take to the boats was not given till, say, 12 minutes after the collision. I didn't hear it given myself.\n\nI believe the order was given to the lifeboat's crew to clear away the lifeboat. If the Oneida had struck on a rock instead of coming into collision, we might have saved more men, as we might have had the gig--the third cutter also would have held more men than she had. I did not hear Captain Williams say, \"you have the Admiral to thank for this.\" I heard that Captain Williams said, \"I have asked for boats and can't get them.\" I couldn't swear to anyone having been wounded on board the Oneida; I heard that the orderly at the cabin hatch had his nose cut off, and that the man at the lee wheel was killed--there were two men at the wheel at the time of the collision, besides a quartermaster. The Oneida carried two Surgeons. I don't think that the Surgeons knew that the men were hurt; I didn't know it. I only heard of it afterwards--the doctor of a vessel not being an executive officer is not supposed to go away in charge of a boat unless by special authority; in the event of a boat being sent away on duty, one of the line officers is always supposed to go in charge. I suppose we were about ten minutes by the wreck before we pulled away. I did not see the Doctor's boat during that time; the doctor pulled off to a junk. I cannot tell whether he might have saved any men had he stayed by the wreck. There was no order given to the Doctor to leave the ship that I know of. Our spanker boom was fastened to the mizen mast by a goose neck of iron.\n\n## Proceedings resumed 9 A.M. Thursday, 3rd February, 1870.\n\nExamination of Isaac Yates, master U.S.N., resumed.\n\nTO THE COURT. I cannot say whether any bearings were taken at 6 P.M.; they would have been entered in my log at 8 P.M. I suppose that Mr. Moldaur had taken bearings. When I altered the course to S.E. and by S., it had nothing to do with the approaching steamer; we headed up to that point slowly and then headed back slowly. I should think this took altogether about 5 minutes. Mr. Moldaur remarked that we could not go any more to port, as he thought we were as close over to the eastern shore as he thought it safe to go. There is no rule of the road in our service, to my knowledge, that in passing a narrow channel, a vessel keeps on the starboard side. Having a ship on my starboard side, I am aware that it is my duty to keep out of her way. I saw her three lights when about a mile distant, 3 points on our starboard bow. I did not port because she was well on the starboard bow, and I thought for an instant and saw that I could not port my helm. I could not port because I thought we should have struck end on--besides she was on my starboard side, and the rule is to starboard your helm. I had previously seen the green light only; and by the steamer opening out three lights, I was aware that she was porting her helm. There is no impression on my mind that I should have ported my helm then as she was on our starboard side, and should have kept to starboard--the starboard lookout man is saved and also the man who had the weather wheel. The leadsmen are not saved. The magazine of the Oneida is in the forward part of the ship; the shell rooms are also forward; the signal lights were kept, I believe, in the signal quartermaster's room. Our signals were patent signals of different colors. I cannot say where the signal quartermaster's room was. I know it was somewhere forward. After the collision, there was nothing to prevent our getting up signal lights for making a signal. The key of that room was kept by the signal quartermaster; the rockets, however, were under charge of the gunner's mate. I don't know where they were kept; they were not kept in the shell room. The only store rooms aft were in connection with the paymaster department. The tiller was carried away; everything shaft the wheel was cut off; the mizen mast was standing. The wheel was forward of the poop; I did not myself see that the tiller was gone, but I judged that the head of the rudder was gone also. This I know: that the ship was unmanageable. We had a tiller on the spar deck and another within the Captain's cabin. We did not try to steer by the second tiller; the Captain's cabin was all smashed up, and we could not get there; the Captain, I believe, was lifted up by two men. I did not try to go down to the Captain's cabin and steer by the second tiller. The Boatswain was told to try and get the relieving tackle shipped. He is saved. Had I been able to steer the ship, I should have tried to bring her up on the spit. I cannot say where the water first came in from. Just before I saw the ship was heading E. by N., I saw the lighthouse on our starboard beam. The signal quartermaster is not saved. The steam whistle was not blowing when we hailed; all was silent on our ship.\n\nI have been a master since the 25th of March last; I was 23 last November. I have had charge of the deck at sea ever since I have been in the Oneida. I have always taken my regular turn. When I first joined the Oneida, I was an ensign. I joined the Oneida on the 6th August 1868 at Nagasaki. I first saw the Bombay's light to the eastward of Kanonsaki light; after that, I saw it to the westward; my ship was heading up to S.E. by S. when I first saw the Bombay's light on our starboard bow. It was still on our starboard bow when we got on our course S. by E. 1/2 E. I did not see the Bombay's light on our port bow the whole time; when I got on our proper course, the Bombay's light was to the westward of Kanonsaki light. She was on our starboard bow, a long distance off, and close into the western shore. I should judge that she went round Kanonsaki and then steered in toward the shore. I can't exactly explain how she could have been in towards the western shore. When I first saw her green light, she was a point on our starboard bow. When I saw all her lights, she was three points on our starboard bow; the navigating officer was down below for his dinner.\n\nI can't say why we fired the lee gun instead of the weather gun. I don't know if the Bombay could have heard the weather gun better; perhaps she might, but I think she ought to have heard it anyway. We were short of the launch, which we carried in the cradle at the starboard waist; the second cutter, which we carried on the starboard quarter, hoisted up abreast the main rigging; the dingy was quite useless. I came away in the first cutter, which was carried on the port side. The doctor came away in the cutter, which was carried on the port quarter. No other officer who was on duty at the time was saved except the boatswain. The port binnacle was forward of the wheel, so that a man standing at the wheel could look right into it. The wheel was situated just forward of the cabin hatch. I think that Mr. Stewart hailed immediately after the collision had taken place, and that the whistle was blown directly after that. The whistle was not blown before the collision took place. The Oneida's steam whistle was a large one, and of a very loud tone. I could not distinguish any figure on board the Bombay. I could see a good many lights on board her. I was standing on the starboard side of the bridge at the time of the collision. I was looking over my right shoulder to see how she was going to strike us. When I looked over my shoulder, I saw lights on her deck, but I did not see either of her side lights; the side lights are not allowed to show aft. It was such a short time that I cannot say how long it was after I lost sight of her green light that she struck us. After we had opened all the Bombay's three lights, we lost her red light.\n\nWhen I saw all her three lights, I gave the order to starboard our helm. I have not at any time stated as follows, viz: that I first saw the Bombay's bright and red light a little on the port bow, and that I gave the order to port the Oneida's helm, but that Captain Williams came on deck immediately afterwards and said; \"no, no, starboard your helm, always starboard,\" and that in my opinion the Oneida was altogether in fault with regard to the collision. I did not make use of my speaking trumpet to hail the other vessel. The shock of the collision was severe; it was not lighter than I had anticipated. I could have given the order to stop the engines. It did not occur to me to stop the engines when I saw the collision was inevitable, as I wanted if possible to get by. At no time before the collision did I want to stop the engines. I did send for Mr. Moldaur when I saw the vessel heading for me--all her three lights. I saw him on the bridge ladder just as the ships were striking. I told the boy to tell Mr. Moldaur that I wanted him. I did not tell the boy to tell him that we were in danger of colliding, as he always came up night or day when sent for. When I saw the Bombay's three lights, I knew that she kept porting, but, nevertheless, I kept starboarding as that was the rule of the road. Even when I see another ship making a mistake, I consider it my duty to abide by the rules, and not to use my own discretion.\n\nThe main topsail, main trysail, spanker, and gaff-topsails were all set, and would act against the port helm, so that she would not have felt her helm so soon as if she had had no sails set; on the other hand, these sails would act in favor of the starboard helm. The Oneida's peculiarity was that you always had to keep a weather helm, when the aft sails were set, as she had an inclination to come up to the wind. Even with the wind on her quarter, there would be some difficulty in keeping her off the wind; she would carry some weather helm whenever the spanker was set. She carried a weather helm when we altered course to S.E. by S. I didn't touch the braces at all; the sails were all full then; the wind was pretty aft on our quarter; we always had to keep the yards braced well in, in order to keep her off on her course. The port tacks were hauled on board. I didn't think it prudent to have the spanker and gaff topsail set, but I didn't like to go against the orders of the navigating officer. I don't know that the main supply of signal lights were kept in the...",

        "content_text": "# \nISAAC J. YATES, Master U. S. Navy, states --I don't know the ordinance store room, but I think it was. Whether the screw was injured or not by the collision; the flow of water into the Captain's cabin would have impeded a person going down there after the collision. The engines did stop before the vessel sank, the fires having been extinguished by the water which filled the ship. There were five watch officers on board the Oneida. I was No. 3 in rank. Had I stopped the engines during the three minutes before the collision, and the Bombay had kept on her course, she would have struck me about the starboard fore-rigging, and at right angles. Never having seen the Oneida's screw drag while she was under sail, I cannot judge what effect on her speed stopping the engines would have had. It would not have avoided the collision in my opinion, had I three minutes before the collision, when I first saw all the Bombay's three lights, ported my helm. I don't think I could have avoided the collision. I was about five years in the U. S. N. academy at Newport and Annapolis. I had experience there in manoeuvring ships. I had experience as a regular officer of the deck in all manoeuvres. I had this experience during about nine months of these five years, as I was on leave some of the time. I was actually on board a practice ship about nine months of the five years. I graduated in June 1886, I have been at sea ever since with the exception of a month. I came in the U. S. S. Idaho to the Asiatic station. I did stand a watch on board that vessel during the whole passage. We were two hundred days from New York to Nagasaki; out of that time we were something less than a month in port. I don't think I could have avoided the collision by porting my helm as the \"Bombay\" was so far on my starboard bow, and she might have been a little less than a mile off. I could see her hull distinctly. I think at that time it was hard to estimate the distance; in fact, I have only estimated it by the time which I thought must have elapsed from the time of my seeing her three lights until the time of the collision; under similar circumstances I should again act exactly as I did on this occasion. I have no idea how long it would have taken the \"Oneida\" to turn a complete circle. I can't say how long it would have taken to bring her four or five points up had I ported my helm, but I think it would have taken a long time. I know the water came in through the aperture in the Captain's cabin and through all the place which was cut off.\n\n(Signed) \n**ISAAC J. YATES**, \nMaster U. S. Navy.\n\nAdjourned till 1 P.M.\n\n## Proceedings resumed at 1 P.M.\n\n**JAMES THOMPSON HILTZ**, sworn, states --On the evening of the 24th of January, at about a quarter before 11 o'clock, I went into the International Hotel; whilst there, I heard something about the Oneida having come into collision with another vessel. I heard two men talking about it. I afterwards learned that one of them was the steward, and the other the third officer of the Bombay. I think I should know the third officer if I saw him. I should think that that gentleman (pointing to Mr. Hamerton) was the man. Shortly after taking a seat, I heard these two men speaking of the collision their ship had had with the U. S. S. Oneida. When they spoke of this collision, knowing most of the officers, and being interested, I asked them where they had struck the Oneida, and what damage had been done to her? The answer was that they did not know, that they kept on to Yokohama.\n\nDid you not stop? I said: what was the reason? I cannot tell, said the 3rd officer, there was the mistake. He afterwards said that the Oneida was a soft wood or pine ship. My answer was that he must be mistaken, as our ships of war were built of oak. He then said that they had some of the pine upon their deck; that the Bombay's cutwater went into the cabin of the Oneida, where they were sitting at dinner, and that they saw some of the officers removing some one who had been hurt by the collision. I said: \"then did you not stop when you saw that you had injured the ship so much\" \"His answer was,-\"no\" and said again:\"there was the mistake;\" and added, that their own ship was making water. I remarked that it was very cold: yes, said the third officer; we were kept on the hatoba two and a half hours before they sent for the mails. I am commander of the S. S. City of Yedo.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD. I am an American. When this conversation took place, Mr. Wells and Mr. Curtis were present besides myself. Mr. Curtis was leaning over the bar. I should think that Mr. Wells and Mr. Curtis could have heard this conversation. Mr. Wells was sitting close to me. If Mr. Wells and Mr. Curtis were to come here and state that not a word was said as to the name of the Oneida, my opinion of what was said would not be altered in the slightest. I think I have said something to the U. S. Consul about what I heard. I don't recollect when this was, but it wasn't for two or three days after as I was busy. I have spoken to Mr. De Long about this matter, but I don't recollect when. I don't think it was the day after the collision. I cannot swear that it was not the day after the collision, that I saw both the U. S. Consul and Mr. De Long.\n\nThey did not come to me, nor did I go to them to speak on this subject. It was the common topic of the day, and I spoke of it in the course of conversation. I do not think I did go either to Mr. De Long or to the Consul and tell them what I heard. I did not communicate this conversation before. I heard it all. I did not go to either the Consul or to Mr. De Long particularly about this matter. I decline answering what business I went about. I did not go to Mr. De Long upon this subject especially or any special business. I often call upon Mr. De Long. I did not call at his house when I informed him of what I had heard. I have been about 4 months in Japan. I had never seen either Mr. De Long or Mr. Lyon before I came to Japan. I don't recollect what was said between us--we talked on various subjects. I don't remember if I then informed them of this conversation. I don't recollect when I first saw them after this conversation. I have not been subpoenaed to attend this court of inquiry. I have not been promised payment if I gave my evidence fairly. Nothing has been mentioned to me about payment for loss of time. I swear the Oneida's name was mentioned that was what particularly took my attention. I don't recollect exactly what was said between Mr. De Long, Mr. Lyon and myself, I think I spoke to Mr. Lyon yesterday evening about it. I don't recollect if I spoke to the Minister or Consul about it before last Sunday. I won't swear I did not. I don't recollect if any one was there beside Mr. Wells and Mr. Curtis. I think perhaps Mr. Quinn came in afterwards. I remember seeing him after the conversation at the Hotel. I could not recollect what he said.\n\nTo THE COURT. The 3rd officer was in the Hotel. I should say 15 to 20 minutes, indeed, I cannot say when he did go out. I did not see either the 3rd officer or the steward come in, they were there when I came in. I entered the Hotel at about a quarter before 11 as near as I could judge. I don't recollect if they left together or not. I don't remember if they were drinking or not. I should think both of them were sober; they were standing near the front end of the bar, next to the stove, about 8 or 10 feet off me, when the conversation took place. When I spoke, the 3rd officer addressed himself to me he was the principal spokesman. I did not ask them how they knew it was the Oneida they had collided with. I don't recollect to whom I first repeated this conversation. I don't recollect if either the steward or the 3rd officer said the Oneida would come back to repair. I don't know if a Mr. Watson was there on the occasion of this conversation. I don't recollect any one saying we will go on board to-morrow and see what damage has been done to her. I think I should have heard anything that was said to or by Mr. Wells. I imagined from the 3rd officer saying there was the mistake, that the Oneida had been badly injured. I did not think at that time that the Oneida would sink; had I thought so, I should have got up steam immediately in my own boat and gone down to her assistance. I did not think that there was danger to the lives of any on board the Oneida, because the Bombay had come away without rendering or offering her any assistance.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG.-As an American citizen, I feel privileged to call on my Minister and Consul whenever I please. I remember meeting you at a barber's shop one morning before the Court was convened for that day. I recollect you asking me what I knew regarding a conversation that had taken place relative to the collision. I then made a statement to you of what I had heard. Before that time I don't think you had seen me or spoken to me upon this subject. I did then at your request consent to ask my employers to give me leave to attend, and give evidence when called upon to do so. With the consent of my owners and at your request, I have to-day remained off duty in order to attend this inquiry. I have no interest in the matter other than the feeling of every American relative to this catastrophe.\n\n(Signed) \n**J. T. HILTZ**\n\n## \n**JAMES SUDDARD**, sworn, states. I held the rank of Surgeon on board the U. S. S. Oneida. I was on board of her on the night of the 24th of January last, when she collided with the steamer Bombay. At the time of the collision, the wardroom mess were at dinner. The wardroom of the Oneida was situated on the main deck between the Captain's cabin and the steerage. The dinner hour was usually at 6 o'clock, but on this occasion we were a, little delayed. We set down about ten minutes past 6. When we had almost finished dinner, a messenger boy came down to the wardroom and told Mr. Moldaur, the navigator, that the officer of the deck wished to see him. Mr. Moldaur went on deck and returned in about five minutes. He remarked that he had seen a light, and supposed it was a steamer bound in. A few minutes afterwards, I heard the officer of the forecastle cry out \"hard a port.\" I heard another voice a moment or two afterwards cry out \"hard a starboard.\" Immediately after this, the collision took place. Everybody rushed on deck; as I stepped over the combing of the hatch, I saw a large steamer alongside of us, slowly clearing herself. As I went aft on the quarter deck, I heard Mr. Stewart, the executive officer, hail the steamer, he said, \"steamer ahoy, stay by us, you have cut us down.\" There was no answer. He repeated it a second time, and still there was no answer; the strange vessel had by this time got clear of us. I walked aft and saw that the wheel, the cabin skylight, the poop cabin, the spanker boom and gaff and the gig, were all carried away. I also went further aft and looked over the quarter, as well as I could see in the darkness, the whole starboard quarter seemed crushed off. I believed that the ship would sink in two or three minutes. I then looked up and saw the wardroom boat hanging to the poop quarter with ten or twelve men in it. I jumped up on the hammock rail, and asked the men in the boat if there was an officer in the boat. They said, no. Upon which I got in and took charge of the boat. I gave orders to cut away the gripes, and for the men to stand at each fall ready for lowering. We remained in that position until the ship began to settle, when we lowered away; at that moment a junk was passing within 20 or 30 yards of the ship. I made chase to bring her alongside, but after pulling 20 or 30 strokes, I saw that she would leave us. I turned back and the ship had disappeared. We then pulled for where we supposed the ship had been, but hearing and seeing nothing. We made for the western shore where we landed about 8 or a little after 8 o'clock. I secured three guides, and walked over the mountains to Yokohama where I arrived, about 4 A.M. on the 25th. I called at Mr. Carroll's and borrowed his boat, in which I proceeded on board the `Idaho`. After reporting the loss to the commander, I went on board the `Ocean`. I there saw the commander of the ship, who gave orders that the `Sylvia` should be directed to get up steam immediately.\n\nTo MR. DE LONG. It might have been a minute before the collision that I heard the officer of the forecastle give the order hard a port. I thought the order hard a starboard was given by a strange voice. I could not tell where it came from at the time, but immediately afterwards I thought it came from the Bombay. The order hard a starboard was given almost immediately after hard a port. Instantly after hearing hard a starboard, I heard the crash of the collision. I heard Commander Stewart hail the Bombay twice. Almost immediately after the vessels were cleared, the steam whistle was turned on, and continued blowing as long as there was any steam, which might have been five minutes. Shortly afterwards a gun was fired, and just before the steamer went down, three more guns were fired; in all four guns were fired. One gun was fired, and then after the lapse of some time, three more were fired rapidly, one after another. When the first gun was fired, I was in the vessel; when the last gun was fired, I was not. When I came on deck and looked over the quarter, and I saw water pouring into the vessel. Through almost the whole of the quarter it appeared to be pouring in like a waterfall. The poop seemed to be cut clean off, but part of it appeared to be hanging astern in the water. I cannot tell if the stern post was in its place. I did not observe whether either of the binnacles were carried away. I think the propeller was not injured, because the ship had considerable headway for some time after the collision. As soon as the vessel got clear, the Oneida shot up into the wind, and headed directly for the Eastern shore. I did not see Captain Williams at all. I did not see into his cabin. I did not notice the condition of stairway, in fact I saw nothing below at all. After the collision, I could hear no orders given, nothing but a confused noise, but I saw what was being done. The impression on my mind from the shock was, that the whole of the side of the ship was coming in. The officers left the table immediately and got on deck as soon as possible. I don't think the effect of the shock would have staggered or knocked me down, had I been standing up and unaware of what was going to happen. It felt as if we had been crushed more than anything else. I think I could have heard a hail from the Bombay, had there been one, but I did not hear any hail. Under the circumstances of a collision, it is the duty of every officer in the U. S. Navy to do his best for the assistance of the ship and those in her, irrespective of his own particular standing or duties. I escaped in the 3rd cutter. In pulling for the junk, my object was to try and get her alongside to endeavour to save life; the boat in which I was, had sustained very serious damage. I believe she knocked against the side of the ship; there were seven knees broken, and a plank started, so as to leave a hole an inch wide, and five feet long. I think she might have carried two or three more than she did, perhaps 20 in all.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD.-There were seventeen in the boat altogether. Our boat was on the port side of the ship when I got into it. The boat was on the port quarter. I suppose I got into the boat probably four or five minutes after the collision. The Bombay was in sight after I got into the boat, i.e. I could see the light. I could not possibly say how far she was off, but I should say she was as far as she could have got in five minutes. I did not see anyone at all on board the Bombay. I looked at her very closely, but it was dark, and I was confused. I could not see any lights on board the Bombay when she was alongside. I noticed her particularly when alongside, but from the darkness and the rigging, and the confusion, I could not distinguish individuals. I said there was a confused noise--that was after the vessels were cleared; and the Bombay was close by, say about two or three minutes after the collision. Our steam whistle was blowing, it made a great noise; it commenced to blow almost immediately after the collision; and was blown for the purpose of attracting the attention of the other vessel. It was not blown previous to the collision; the proper complement of the 3rd cutter was ten men and a coxswain, and could have carried 25 men. It was about 8 or 10 minutes after cutting the lashings that I had the boat lowered. It took about 3 or 4 seconds to lower the boat, perhaps half a minute after getting the boat into the water, I stopped alongside about half a minute. I did not see the junk till just as we were ready to cut the fall. The junk was crossing our stern, coming almost before the wind. I know where Saratoga point is; the junk was making down the bay. It was a large junk with a large sail. I did not see her light, I am sure. She was a junk. She had a large sail set, and was perhaps about 40 yards from us, quite close. We had ten men in our boat. I thought I'd try and catch her. I followed her about two minutes, I soon turned round again. I saw neither the Bombay nor the Oneida then. The Bombay had disappeared some time before. We pulled away during the two minutes. A man called Jordan was the coxswain, I think we might have got perhaps between 30 to 40 yards towards the junk. The junk was sailing very rapidly. I did not see Mr. Yates's boat. I could not remember whether Mr. Moldaur said on which bow the light was visible. Mr. Moldaur did sit down to his dinner again after he came down; it was perhaps five minutes after he came down that I heard the order given \"hard a port.\" I recognized the voice to be that of one of our midshipmen. I am morally certain that it was the voice of the midshipman of the watch. I don't know if Mr. Moldaur was on deck or below at the time of the collision. The order I heard given immediately after the other was \"hard a starboard.\" I believe that order was given from the Bombay. When I got on deck, the Bombay's bows were just clear of our quarter, at an acute angle.\n\nTo THE COURT. The Boatswain was saved in my boat. He did not get into the boat till she was being lowered. I did not consider him in charge of the boat, as he was an acting Boatswain. I did not hear any one say whose fault the collision was. There was no light issuing from the stern when I looked over it. I cannot tell whether there was any breach into the wardroom by the collision, but I think not. There was no one dining with the Captain on that evening. The Captain's lamp was a swinging lamp. I should think that the bulkhead between the wardroom and the Captain's cabin was broken, as the wardroom was filled with water. We sat down to dinner about 10 minutes after 6. I should think we had been sitting at table from 30 to 35 minutes, when the collision occurred. Captain Williams had been sick for some time. I don't think it was more than five minutes after Mr. Moldaur came down to dinner that the collision occurred. Had the Bombay replied to our hail, I think I could have heard the answer distinctly as there was no noise on board at that time. I should think 5 minutes must have elapsed before firing the second gun after the first. After the collision the endeavour was to get the vessel on the Saratoga spit. First they reduced sail and afterwards they made sail with that object. No signals were made except the guns. I suppose it took a little over an hour to pull from the scene of the wreck to where we landed. When I returned from the junk, I could see nothing whatever of the ship, no spars nor timber not even the other boat. It would have been impossible to have seen us sitting at dinner in the ward room from the outside of the ship unless there had been a breach through her side. During the ten minutes that I was in the boat before she was lowered, no notice was taken of me. And no order was given to me. No one made enquiries for the boat, that I heard: one or two men came and got into her but I received no orders at all; the Boatswain got in just as we were lowering the boat into the water. The Boatswain got into the boat to save his life, he wasn't sent on service in the boat. When I was at the stern, I did not look to see whether there was any light coming from the cabin. I was looking sideways down into the water. I saw no light issuing from the fracture. There were no ports opening into the ward room, there were ports opening into the state rooms, which were on either side of the ward room. The ports were circular in shape and about 6 inches in diameter I should think.\n\n**JAMES SUDDARD, M. D.**, (Signed) \nSurgeon U. S. Navy.\n\nAdjourned till 9 A.M.

        "content_text": "# EIGHTH DAY, \n## FRIDAY, 4TH FEBRUARY, 1870. \n### 327\n\nProceedings resumed 9 A.M. Friday 4th February, 1870. **WILLIAM, W. CROWNINSHIELD, sworn, states:** I was Captain's clerk, and on board the Oneida on the 24th January, at the time of her collision with the Bombay. I was asleep in the Captain's cabin, on the starboard transom, at the time of the collision. I found myself lying on the cabin floor, recovering from being stunned. As soon as I realized where I was, I saw that the cabin was a wreck, and the stern was knocked out. I crawled out through the stern, and climbed on to the spar deck. The companion ladder leading from the cabin to the deck was gone, and I climbed over broken timber and débris. I looked down the Captain's hatch, (the skylight was gone) to see if Captain Williams was there; and finding he was not, I went forward on to the bridge, and reported to the navigating officer who was on the bridge the extent of the damage. I went down on deck from the bridge, spoke to two or three of the officers, walked aft, and then found that the ship had commenced to settle at the stern. I went into the main rigging and remained there five minutes. When the water had reached the hatches abaft the mainmast and was pouring down below, I threw off my coats, and presently the ship sank so that the water reached me. I pushed myself away from the rigging and was carried down in the vortex. When I came to the surface again, I found the ship had disappeared, but that there was a boat within 20 feet of me. I swam to the boat, and was taken on board, and landed with the rest of those in Mr. Yates' boat.\n\nTo **Mr. DE LONG**. The starboard quarter was gone the whole length of the cabin, which was 25 feet long, and the stern was demolished, cut down to the water's edge. The poop was carried away. To a person looking from the outside, there would be a clear hole six feet high and ten feet long. There was a large armchair, cane chair, two common chairs, a bureau, a sideboard, and a table in the Captain's cabin. The table had a red cover on it. There was a hanging lamp directly over the table, and also candles. I didn't notice whether the wheel had been carried away or not. I did not notice whether the propeller was revolving. The engines were going, but my impression was, that the propeller and rudder were both gone. The poop cabin had bodily been swept away. I saw Captain Williams after getting on deck. I saw him on the quarter deck, going towards the bridge: and I reported to him, also, the extent of the damage. I heard him give orders, and I think one of them was, to set topgallant sails. The other orders I don't remember. Mr. Muldaur repeated the Captain's orders. He was on the bridge with the Captain conducting the steering of the ship. They were trying to steer the ship with canvas; but afterwards the water reached the main hatches, and he said to the Captain, \"Captain, this ship will sink; it's of no use, you had better take to the rigging,\" and directly after making that remark, he jumped into the main rigging with me. I did not hear his voice about the vessel. I did not hear any hail from either of the ships. Our whistle was blowing from the time I got on deck, until the ship sunk. While I was in the rigging, there were three guns fired. I did not notice who was engaged in firing those guns. I saw Mr. Paymaster Tulloch. I spoke to him on the quarter deck, shortly after I came out of the cabin. After the vessel had sunk, I saw nothing of any of the officers. Mr. Tulloch was merely standing there. I asked him, what was the cause of the wreck, and he told me we had been run into by a steamer. As near as I can judge, the Oneida went down by the stern first; and after arriving at an angle of 45 degrees, she must have pitched down at that angle. I don't know where Captain Williams was at the moment of collision. When I went to sleep, he was in his cabin. Five minutes after I got out of the cabin, the water came in at the stern. The spar deck was put under water by the flow. I should say it was about ten to twelve minutes after I awoke that the vessel sunk. I have been at sea 22 years. I held a commission during the late war, as Volunteer Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy.\n\nTo **Mr. BARNARD**. I did feel the ship roll, but I have no idea how many times she rolled before settling down. She rolled slowly. I have no idea to which side she rolled first. I should say the first gun I heard was fired five minutes after I awoke. Between the first and second guns, a minute elapsed—it may have been more. I walked to the bridge. I did not see the Bombay at any time. Captain Williams was on deck when I went to the bridge.\n\nTo **THE COURT**. The light was burning in the cabin when I looked down to see if the Captain was there. There was a messenger boy down in the cabin; no one else. I looked down directly I had got on deck. When I left the cabin, the water was not coming into the cabin itself. The cabin tiller was always shipped at sea. I heard three guns. Two were fired on the starboard side, and I cannot say where the other was fired from. Captain Williams was on deck when the ship left the anchorage. I do not know whether he had been on deck while the officers were at dinner. I do not know when the Captain left the cabin. I didn't see the doctor's boat leave the ship. I was in the starboard main rigging. I did not notice at the time whether the rudder head was gone. I think, before the ship sunk, the doctor's boat was at the davits. I did not see that boat anywhere except at the davits. When I came to the surface, I saw a great many heads. I have been on the Oneida since the 16th of last April. Since that time, I have messed and lived with the Captain. While I was on the rigging, the Kanonsaki light bore almost on our starboard beam; and I should judge that the ship was heading almost for the spit.\n\nI did not notice anyone else in the cabin with me when I awoke from my swoon. I was not carried on deck. Captain Williams had been on shore sick, for two or three weeks before the vessel sailed. I heard no orders given to take to the boats, or cut away spars, to prepare for wreck in any way. I did not notice any spars floating about, when I came to the surface. I was in the water about three minutes, I think. The boat left almost directly I had been hauled into her.\n\n**WILLIAM W. CROWNINSHIELD**.\n\n**SERGE ISTOMIN, Lieutenant of H.I.R.M. ship Vzadnick, sworn, states:** I am a Russian. I am a Lieutenant in the Russian Navy. On the evening of the 24th January last, at about 10 minutes to 7, I was on the deck of the Vzadnick, in this harbour. At about 7 o'clock, I was below, and heard the sound as of a gun, but I am not aware if it was a gun, so that I didn't pay any attention to it. At 10 minutes past 7, I heard distinctly a gun. To this gun, I paid attention, as I thought it was the mail coming. By and by, I heard another gun; but so uncertain was I about the sound, and knowing that these guns may be from any man of war, I did not speak to anyone about it.\n\nTo **Mr. BARNARD**. I cannot swear that those guns were not from Yado. I do not know that I, being in harbour...",

        "content_text": "## Page 328\n\n328\n\nhave ever heard the guns of any of the men of war when they go out to practice at Kamids Bay. Croustadt is 16 miles from Petersburgh; and I have often heard guns fired at Cronstadt while I have been in Petersburgh; so that I say that it is possible to hear a gun 10 miles off. In strong breezes, when firing salutes in the harbour, I have noticed that the off gun is sometimes not heard. I heard guns; but I do not know if they were the Bombay's guns. I heard two guns between 7 and half-past 7; say at about quarter-past 7. Some ten or twelve minutes elapsed between my hearing the sound as of a gun, and the first decided sound of a gun. Perhaps two or three minutes elapsed between the sounds of the two distinct guns. I saw no rockets go up - I was below.\n\n**TO THE COURT.**--It is my opinion that it might be possible to hear the sound of a gun fired dead to leeward of me at a distance of eleven miles off with a 6lb charge, and a top-gallant sail breeze blowing.\n\nLieutenant SERGE ISTOMIN.\n\nThe evidence of another witness to exactly the same effect as the above, was offered by Mr. de Long, but not considered material to be heard by the Court.\n\nMr. DE LONG here states:-I offer to prove by Mr. Shepherd, Consul at Yedo, Mr. Farrington, and my own oath that, at about the time the Oneida is said to have sunk, I was sitting in my library in company with my wife; we all heard and counted three cannon shots, following each other; and at the time we spoke of it to each other, wondering what it could mean. Further evidence of General Lyon and other residents, as to their having heard them, is also offered.\n\nMr. BARNARD, in reply, remarks that he makes no objection to any evidence being brought forward by Mr. de Long; but that he is prepared to bring forward two lady passengers by the Bombay, if necessary, and also several residents, to prove that they did not hear any guns that night.\n\n**THE COURT** decided that no further evidence on this point was required.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG--When I came from below, I stood at the top of the ladder abaft the forecastle; that ladder led from the berth deck to the spar deck. The break of the forecastle and the hammock netting prevented my seeing the approaching vessel from that standpoint. I did not see the light of the vessel then. When I heard \"hard a starboard\" from the other vessel, I did not hear any order given on board the Oneida. I saw the pumps manned when I left the ship. The water was a little abaft the mizen-mast; the stern being in the water. We pulled for the red light which we saw. I at first took it to be the light-ship, but I saw that it could not be. I don't know what it was. I cannot say how long this was after I had left the ship. When I saw the steamer approaching, I should say she was from half to three-quarters of a mile off, as near as I could judge. I should think she was two or two and a half points on our starboard bow. I only heard a hail once, I believe. I did make search until I satisfied myself that there was no taffrail nor rudder's head on the ship. I did not report that to Mr. Moldaur. I could not find him.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD.--I can't say how long before the collision I saw the ship; I was busy. I can't say at all how long it was; it was minutes, but how many I cannot say. I did not see, only her bright light. I could see her rigging, and thus I knew it was a vessel. I can't say how soon after I heard \"hard a starboard\" it was that the collision occurred. After the collision, I know the sails were clewed up. I was not clewing up the sails but looking for the tackle. I don't know if anyone fell overboard, that the boat was prepared so quickly. It was someone in the stern sheets who said he saw a junk; I was forward in the boat. I did say that I did not see a junk, and that I recommended that we should stay by the vessel and not pull away. Two others in the boat agreed with me. One of them is named Brittany, the other I don't know. I thought the boat would carry more men, which was the reason I wanted to stay alongside. She could have carried 30 men in case of emergency. The boat was perhaps 30 yards from the Oneida when the conversation took place. It took place just as we commenced to pull from the Oneida. A man called Lyons steered the boat; the doctor was in charge of the boat. I believe neither I nor the other two men said to the doctor that we could not see a junk, and had better go back to the ship. The Oneida had gone down when the conversation took place. I saw no spars nor any portion of the poop floating about. I saw no persons swimming about, or floating on the surface; we were too far off to have seen any heads or men swimming. When I heard the order \"starboard\" given on board of our vessel, I was not on the deck, but on the top step of the ladder. I did not see the ship before starboarding the helm, and therefore don't know how she bore. After starboarding the helm, she bore two and a-half points on our bow. I didn't notice the Oneida rolled until after the collision; she made a steady roll over to starboard. The boat did make water, though the plug was in; she made water fast; there was surf at the place where we landed; there were also rocks about where we landed on a sandy beach. The boat was not damaged by striking any rock in landing.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG.--Immediately after hearing the order to starboard our helm, I looked up and saw the Bombay 2 points on our bow. The ship's head might have been affected a very little after that order was given, and before I saw the Bombay. I cannot say whether I heard an order from the forecastle to port helm. Six timbers in our boat were broken and one of her side seams had cracked open some of an inch, for a distance of about 5 feet. I did not see any baling done in the boat. I did not hear Dr. Suddard give any command or make any suggestion while in the boat.\n\nNICHOLAS ANDERSON, Sworn, states.--I was an acting boatswain on board the U.S.S. Oneida. I was on board her at the time of the collision on the 24th of January, between six and half-past six on that evening. I stood forward by the break of the topgallant forecastle. I heard a man on the cat-head sing out \"light ho.\" The officer of the deck answered and said, \"where away.\" The look-out said, \"right ahead, sir.\" I went below to put on some warmer clothing. I stayed below about 15 or 20 minutes, and came on deck again and stood on the top step of the ladder. I heard the officer of the deck say \"starboard.\" I looked over the starboard bow and saw the boom of a vessel's rigging between two and three points on the starboard bow. I could not see any lights at all, nor could I see the hull of the ship. I stepped down on deck and stood looking at her all the time; as she bore a little abaft our fore rigging, I heard a man on board her sing out \"hard a starboard.\" She immediately struck us on our starboard quarter abreast of the mizen rigging. I went aft as far as the bridge and saw Mr. Fe Stewart come running on the bridge bare-headed. He gave me orders to call all hands to shorten sail. I then heard him call out \"ship ahoy, lay by us.\" I piped hands to shorten sail. I then saw the steamer on our starboard quarter very close to us; the navigating officer sung out \"clear away the relieving tackles.\" That being my station, I went aft to see that done. I got abaft our cabin hatch when I heard our steam whistle begin to blow. I stayed aft there some time till I got a man to bring me a light so as to enable me to see. When I looked, I saw that the starboard side was all crushed in, and found all her stern tackle had disappeared. I could not find any rudder. I went forward to report that to Mr. Moldaur. And in going, I heard one of our starboard guns fired. When I went on deck, I heard someone call out \"lower away that boat.\" It was our port-quarter boat. I went up on the spar deck; there was another one in the Captain's cabin. I did not go below to see whether the tiller was left after the collision. I don't think it possible that the red light which I saw from the boat could have been the Oneida's light. After the sails had been set, I was busy securing everything ready for sea. I mean lashing gratings, &c., and seeing that nothing was adrift, whilst the boat was astern, then I heard two more guns fired.\n\nTo the Court.--I did not, before going below, go and look at the light ahead of us. The Boatswain's mate of the 6 to 8 watch is saved. I think his name is Lyons. I enquiries made for the gunner's mate. I went forward but could not find Mr. Moldaur. Then I went aft again; and saw the Bombay's rigging from the top step of the ladder; she must have been a quarter of a mile off, I think. I don't think she had sail on at the time. Our relieving tackles were kept hanging right aft under the poop; the tiller was on the netting and laid hold of the forward boat's fall. The fall was lowered and the forward one was cut. As I stood on the hammock netting, I saw the water gushing out of our cabin hatch; and that the ship was settling fast. I saw the boat was about to leave, and I jumped into her. I missed the boat, but was hauled in. She swung round and was astern, then I heard no orders from the Oneida's deck to the boat in which I was. I heard three guns fired from the Oneida. I believe the foretopsail was set when the Oneida went down. I can't say if the head sails were hauled down or not, as I afterwards found out. I believe it was my duty to have taken charge of the boat, but I didn't know at the time. Had I known that, I should have remained alongside the ship; had I seen a junk, I should have pulled and taken her. I did not report to anyone else that I could not find the relieving tackle. I received no other order of any kind. After being told to look for the relieving tackle, I was not ordered to leave the ship in the boat. I did not report to anyone in the absence of Mr. Moldaur.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD.--I heard the state of the rudder or helm; nor did I ascertain if the spare tiller was standing or not. I heard no orders given at all after the collision, except to shorten sail, as I was looking for the relieving tackle. I didn't cut any spars or gratings adrift before the ship went down. It did not occur to me to do so. I am perfectly certain that the answer to the officer's inquiry \"where away\" was \"right ahead, sir.\" The look-out man who reported it is saved. I don't know his name. Mr. Stewart was on the bridge on the starboard side when I heard him sing out \"ship ahoy, stay by us.\" I saw Mr. Stewart go direct from the hatch to the bridge. He did not get on to any arm chest. I cannot say if there was any light issuing from the breach in the vessel; there was a light in the Captain's cabin when I went aft. I believe I only heard three guns in all. I saw two men haul Capt. Williams on deck; and there was one man below lifting him up through the hatchway. That was when I went aft to look for the relieving tackle. He asked if anyone was hurt, but I did not hear any answer given to him. He did not appear to be hurt himself.\n\n(Signed) NICHOLAS ANDERSON.\n\nProceedings resumed at 1.30 P.M.\n\nALBERT REGAART, Sworn, states: I belong to the Oneida, and was on board at the time of collision. My rate was that of seaman, and I was at the wheel at the time of collision. I was at the weather wheel on the port side of the deck. There was a quartermaster along with me. His name was John Mocanui, and Lyons was on the starboard wheel - neither of these men are saved. I did not see either of them after the collision. I went on the wheel at six o'clock, on the 24th January. When I took charge of the wheel, the helm was amidships, and the ship was on her course. I came at the wheel at six o'clock; the course was given to me S. by E. 1/2 E. A while after that, a light was reported about half a point on the starboard bow. The officer of the watch answered \"very well.\" The ship was reported a second time. The second report was that the ship was coming right for us. The officer told me to starboard my helm. The officer was Mr. Yates. I brought the ship up to S.E. The officer of the watch told me to \"steady,\" and let her come up on her course again. The ship was reported a third time. That report was that the ship was a point on our starboard bow. The officer told me to starboard my helm again, and after I starboarded my helm, I saw the mast-head light about five points on the lee or starboard side of the foresail. I kept the wheel a starboard until the ship struck us. Either the officer on the forecastle or the officer on the deck told me to put my helm to \"port.\" This was a little bit before the collision.\n\nI had no time to put my helm aport while I was in the act of doing it; the ship ran into us. The collision capsized me and the wheel and all, on to the port side of the deck. A man that came from forward lifted me up from the deck, and brought me under the main rigging. I could not stand very well on my legs. I went aft again to see if anything was left of the wheel or the relieving tackle, but I could find nothing, and could not steer the ship any more. An officer who came out of the wardroom told me to go to the pump on the spar deck underneath the bridge. At the same time, I heard Mr. Stewart call out to the other ship to give us assistance, singing out \"ship ahoy.\" The ship was not far away from us then. I went to the pump to try and pump the ship out. The steam whistle was blown as I went to the pump. The steam whistle was stopped and No. 1 gun on the starboard side was fired three times, one after another, with an interval, say of thirty or forty seconds between each. After that, the steam whistle was started again; but it stopped of itself when the water came up and washed me off the deck, and I swam to Mr. Yates's boat.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG.--When the ship was first reported, she was reported as about half a point on the starboard bow. The second time she was reported about a point and a half on the starboard bow. The third time she was reported as coming right for us. I could not see her at that moment, but after I obeyed the order given to me, I could see her about 4 or 5 points on the starboard bow. No report that I heard was made as to her being dead ahead. The rail was too high for me to have seen the other steamer's side lights. Mr. Stewart hailed three or four times. I heard him only singing out \"ship ahoy\" two or three times. He stood right on the quarter-deck amidships as he hailed. The wheel was broken all to pieces; the poop cabin went overboard. I could not look into the Captain's cabin. I did not see the Captain come on deck. Mr. Phelan ordered me to the pump. I don't know who blew the whistle. I am certain that the whistle was stopped and then turned on again, after three guns had been fired. I sat down for about a minute after being carried forward from the wheel. I could see the rudder head, but I cannot say if the rudder itself was gone or not. I do not know what became of the quartermaster and the other man at the wheel. I heard a voice on the Bombay, but could not distinguish what was said.\n\nThat was after the collision. No answer was given from our ship to the Bombay's. The hail from the Bombay came before Mr. Stewart hailed, just at the time of the collision. After the collision, we clewed up the fore topgallant sail and the topsail, and set the topsail again. I do not know anything about the maintopsail. I did not see any man injured or wounded on board our ship. I was working at the pumps till the water carried me away. After I got into the water, I could not see anyone in the water, but I heard plenty of them crying out to the boat. All those whom we saw, we picked up. Mr. Yates got into the boat before I did.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD.--I do not carry a watch in my pocket. I suppose it was about three or four minutes after the collision that the first gun was fired. The stern was settling down when I heard the guns fired. It began to settle down when we were first struck. I was hit on the knee, and have been on the sick list for 5 or 6 days on board the Idaho. I was not too much hurt to work at the pumps under circumstances such as those we were in. I ran straight from the stern of the ship (after having once returned to it) to the pumps. The Oneida was about 16 or 17 minutes above water after the collision. During those minutes, I saw no red lights. I saw the ship that went away from us. I saw her astern. After I went to the pumps, I did not look any more at the ship. While I was at the stern, I was looking after the ship to see if she would come back. The quartermaster was at the wheel with me. The foresail was set before the collision. The buntlines were not all hauled up. I cannot explain how the officer on the bridge could have seen the light in spite of the foresail. I don't believe he could; but there was an officer on the forecastle who could.\n\nTo the Court.--When the other vessel struck us, the Oneida's head was about S.E. Mr. Yates was in the boat before me. I did not sink and come up again. It was a good while after I took the wheel that a light on the starboard bow was reported. I am certain I heard the order given from the forecastle to the bridge. I could not recognise whose voice made those reports. When I saw the Bombay's mast-head light, I think she was a good quarter of a mile from us. I could not see any of her hull, or rigging, or mast. I am sure I only heard Mr. Stewart call \"ship ahoy.\" I did not hear him say \"stay by us, you have cut us down.\" The stern was flush with the water when the guns were fired. I did not hear one gun fired in advance of the other three. I heard no report given as to what lights were seen on board the other steamer, the Bombay. His hail was not in reply to a hail from the Bombay. I suppose the ships were two hundred yards apart when Mr. Stewart hailed the Bombay. It did not occur to me to look if the second tiller was carried away or not. I cannot say how long a time elapsed between the time when I heard the first report, and the time of the collision. The first report was given some time before the half-past six bell. The collision took place a good while after the past 6 o'clock bell. I believe the last report was given after past 6. When I saw the Bombay's stern after the collision, I did not see any foam as of a screw being let off - or as of her engines going round. I was not close enough to see whether she was actually under steam or not.\n\nALBERT REGAART,\n\n(Signed)\n\nWILLIAM BRITTANY, Sworn, stated: I belonged to the Oneida, I was stationed on the starboard cat-head on the look-out at the time of the collision with the Bombay. It was between six and half-past six o'clock. I saw a mast-head light right ahead of us. I reported it to the officer of the forecastle, who reported it to the officer of the deck. The first time I saw her, I saw nothing but a masthead light. I made another report after that, say about 1/2 minutes after. As soon as I could see one of her side lights, I saw her starboard light - a green light, between one-half a point and a point on our starboard bow. I reported that. About a minute or a minute and a half after that, I reported her about four or five points on our starboard bow, and coming right for our starboard side lights. I then saw her masthead light and her starboard side light. When I first saw her, I could just distinguish her mast-head light. About fifteen minutes after that, I saw her two lights; and she was, I suppose, about four or five miles from us. When I made the last report, I should say she was a quarter of a mile from us, but I do not know exactly. I saw Kanonsaki light before I saw the steamer's light. When I first saw the steamer's light, it was to the left of Kanonsaki light. Kanonsaki light was on our starboard bow. The second time I reported her, she was to the right (W) of the Kanonsaki light.\n\nTo the Court.--At no time did I see the red light of the Bombay. The midshipman of the watch was on the forecastle with me, beside other lookouts, but none are saved but myself. The midshipman of the forecastle, satisfying himself that what I reported was correct, gave exactly my report to the officer on the bridge, after I reported it to him. I am in my thirtieth year and have been at sea 16 or 17 years.\n\n(Signed)\n\nWILLIAM BRITTANY.\n\nWILLIAM ROBERT DALZIEL, sworn, states: I am P. & U. Agent at this port. The steward of the Bombay did bring me a message from the Captain on the night of the 24th of January. The steward gave me the Captain's compliments, that he had had a slight collision with another vessel coming up the bay; and that he would be on shore tomorrow morning. The steward did not tell me what the ship's name was.\n\n(Signed)\n\nW. R. DALZIEL.\n\nMr. DE LONG and Mr. BARNARD then addressed the Court:-\n\n**DECISION RESERVED.**\n\nPage 330  \nPage 331",

        "content_text": "# THE CHINA MAIL.\n\n## HONGKONG, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 12, 1873,\n\n### MARINE COURT OF ENQUIRY,\n\n#### \"GLENLYON.\"\n\nA Marine Court of Enquiry was held to-day, the 12th inst, at the Marine Magistracy to enquire into the circumstances attending the loss of life on board the British steamer Glenlyon during her voyage from Singapore to Hongkong. The Court was composed of the Hon. C. May (first Police Magistrate); H. G. Thomsett, Esq., B.N. (Harbour Master); Henry Lowcock, Esq., (unofficial Justice of the Peace); R. H. Cairns, Esq., (Government Marine Surveyor); and Seth Doane, Esq., (Master Mariner and Commander of the S. S. Mikado).\n\nJ. Templeton, Master of the Glenlyon, was first examined. He joined her at London on 1st September last. Her registered tonnage is 1373 tons. She left London on the evening of the 13th September, had a full general cargo for China and Japan. She had over 3000 tons general cargo on board. She arrived at Singapore on 23rd October, discharging about 300 tons there, and taking in about 300 tons to fill up space. The ship drew 21ft. 8in. aft, and 19 feet forward, when leaving Singapore. She took in some Chinese passengers, the agents (Martin, Dyos & Co.) issued passage tickets; there were 281 issued. The passengers were to be taken to Hongkong. Witness produced the license from the Harbour Master (Capt. Ellis) at Singapore for leaving port with the passengers. Witness could not account for its not being signed. It was handed to witness by the Harbour Master. Witness did not notice the absence of the signature. The certificate permitted witness to carry 300 Chinese passengers. Witness did not know that inquiries had been made if there was sufficient room for the men in case of bad weather. The ship lay at Tanjong Pagar Wharf at Singapore in the New Harbour. The names of the Chinese passengers were not given in the list, simply the numbers of the tickets. The Chinese passengers came on board just as they liked on the day of departure. They brought their luggage with them and their provisions, as they had to feed themselves. The ship did not even supply fuel. The whole ship was filled with cargo except the saloon, forecastle and similar places. There was no room to put the Chinese below in case of bad weather. The Harbour Master came on board in Singapore, but there was no passenger then. The certificate was given to witness on the day previous to departure. Witness did not remember the Harbour Master having made any official inspection of the ship. The certificate stated that the Chinese passengers were to go on deck. No official came on board on Sunday to count the number of passengers; in fact, witness did not know how many were actually on board; he believed there were about 281, as described in the document received from the agents. They stowed their luggage as well as they could on the upper deck. Witness did not know that the crew lashed together the luggage of the passengers on deck. No luggage was below, until the gale came on. The ship left Singapore about noon on the 26th; the weather was fine then, and the ship steamed about 10 or 10 knots an hour during that time. On the 30th at noon, the wind which had been increasing during the morning, began to blow hard, gradually increasing in violence. At 3 p.m. it was blowing a gale, and the engines were reduced to half speed. Before this, they were reduced to \"slow.\" It was raining very heavily, the wind was about N., and the ship was heading N., keeping ahead of the sea. The sea was becoming high, a sharp chopping sea at the time. There were no bulwarks to the ship. The crew were protected by an iron railing, and nettings abaft the bridge. The nettings were made of lead lines, 1-inch line. On Thursday afternoon, the 30th, when the weather was very bad, the barometer falling all the time, witness did not give any orders as to the safety of the Chinese, as they were safe then. On the 31st, witness then gave directions to send the Chinese into all the spare places below. They were in the saloon, cabins, forecastle, engine room, galley, closets, bath rooms, in fact everywhere that could afford a shelter. On the 31st about 8 a.m. witness was disabled, while attending to the steering gear, by a sea which came over the stand knocking him down. Witness was rendered insensible for a short time, and his arms were rendered powerless. Witness could only stand at the companion to look after the ship as well as he could. He gave up the control of the ship to the chief officer, telling him to look after the ship as well as he could. Up to the time of witness being disabled, witness did not hear of the loss of any men. On the morning of the 1st inst., witness saw the dead body of a Chinaman on deck. About 11 a.m. on the 31st, a seaman named George Key was at the relieving tackles, and was washed overboard. When they left Singapore, the ship drew 8 inches of water less than when leaving London. The cargo taken in at Singapore consisted principally of rattan. After giving accommodation below to the Chinese, there were still about 40 to 50 of them on deck, remaining on the house around the funnel, which was amidships. Others were lying on a broken horse box that was lashed flat on deck to some ringbolts. The ship was taking in water from all points. The port life boat was washed away; the starboard cutter and starboard life boat were smashed. There were 80 cases of acids on the upper deck amidships. The acid caught fire before witness was disabled, and witness sanctioned the cases being thrown overboard for the sake of safety. Very likely witness might have given the order to throw the luggage of the Chinese overboard in order to clear the deck. It had broken adrift and was washing about the deck, endangering people's lives. During the gale, all the crew were on deck. On the morning of the 1st, witness overheard some conversation amongst the crew about some of the deck passengers having been killed or having jumped overboard, one man jumping in after his box was thrown overboard, as it contained $5,000. Witness was not certain of what he heard, as he was suffering from his bruises. Witness saw the dead body lying in the scuttles on the port side abreast the mizen mast. It was thrown overboard. There were no marks of violence about the body, and witness thought that the man died of simple exhaustion and exposure to the weather. That was the only dead body witness saw. Witness did not know by report that any men had been washed overboard. Witness only knew of the two deaths he mentioned above, viz., the Chinaman and the seaman. The gale subsided about 8 a.m. on the 1st. The ship arrived on the 3rd. From the 1st to the 3rd, no complaints were made to him of men having been washed overboard. Several of the passengers could speak English, but they made no complaint whatever. The ship arrived during the night and was anchored off about a mile or a mile and a half eastward of Green Island. Boats from the shore came alongside, bringing fruit &c. to the passengers on board. Witness did not know that any passengers went on shore that night. If they wanted to go, witness would not have prevented them. They weighed anchor and steamed up to the Harbour about 8 a.m. on the 4th, a good many passengers had already landed. They could land when they liked. There was only one man of the crew drunk during the gale; this was on the 30th. He was in the saloon, baling water. When the gale subsided, witness did not make an attempt to count the number of the men in order to see how many were lost. He did not count them previous to the gale. He did not count them after the gale because he could not see the object gained by counting them, as he did not know how many came on board. Witness did not make any enquiries among the Chinese to find out how many lives had been lost among them. It did not occur to him that it was necessary. Witness had no knowledge that the crew and men in the engine room charged the Chinese passengers money for giving them shelter, in the forecastle &c.",

He had no complaint of any robbery by the crew. Witness reported five deaths to the Captain. Witness after the gale went round with the Chinaman who could speak English to ascertain how many men had died during the gale, and could only find out the deaths he enumerated above. Before the storm, the cook asked witness if he could let his room to the Chinamen, and witness replied he could. The room was certified for 4 men. He did not know how much he let it for. It was quite customary for the crew to let their berths to deck passengers.\n\nThe Chief Engineer was next examined. He stated that when the bad weather came on, he took some children and women into the engine room, and towards the night, the 2nd and 3rd engineers brought about 24 Chinese passengers into the engine room. He received no order from anyone to take in the passengers to the engine room; he heard the captain say that they must be made as comfortable as possible. He and the boatswain helped 7 or 8 Chinese on to the bridge. The 2nd and 3rd engineers gave witness about $25 from time to time, which they had received from the passengers.

He and the boatswain helped 7 or 8 Chinese on to the bridge. The 2nd and 3rd engineers gave witness about $25 from time to time, which they had received from the passengers. Their object in giving the money to witness was for security. The 2nd engineer gave him $18, and the 3rd $7. Witness did not know that the men who were assisted on to the bridge gave the boatswain any money. On the morning of the 1st, the captain told witness to wash the blood off the face of a man who was lying on the ropes near the after hatch; his face was battered and was covered with blood. That Chinaman died about an hour and a half to two hours afterwards. That was the only case of death he knew of. He heard of no other death, with the exception of the seaman who was washed overboard. There was no accommodation for more men than those that were actually in the engine room. Witness knew of no instance of drunkenness on board. When the money was given over to the witness, nothing was said about division amongst the engine room people, and when he said so in his evidence, it was only a matter of supposition.\n\nMr May said it was dangerous to give anything of supposition on oath.\n\nContinued - Witness saw one or two Chinamen hand money to the seamen; they did so freely.\n\nCaptain Thomsett referred to the evidence given by witness before Mr Mitchell and observed that by reading the portion about the men paying $1 to $2 for their accommodation, he understood that no man would be allowed in unless they paid for their accommodation, and the witness must have said that when such was recorded in evidence.\n\nWitness said he must have given that evidence. The 2nd defendant in the case before the Police Magistrate was therein termed a fireman. (That defendant was described in that case to have given $7 to the witness, and witness was asked to account for the discrepancy of stating now that he knew no fireman receiving any money from the men)\n\nWitness said it might be that he did receive some money from the 2nd defendant. The women and children paid no money; witness was quite sure of that.\n\nHeary Fisher, the boatswain of the Glenlyon, was next examined. He was on board as such during the voyage from Singapore to Hongkong. There were some Chinese passengers, but how many he could not say. Their boxes were secured to the hawsers; they did the lashing themselves; they would not allow any of the crew to touch their luggage. He heard during the storm the chief mate's order to shove as many of the Chinese as possible into the water closets, the chart room, and any other spare place. He assisted some up the bridge. He saw the boxes knocking about on deck and getting foul of the steering gear. Witness did not see anyone washed overboard; he heard one man jump overboard, and he saw his body floating aft. He saw a dead body aft.\n\nWitness had a cabin in the forecastle, but he did not let it to the Chinamen. He did not know that they had to pay for going down. Witness lived in the same room with the carpenter.\n\nThe cook told him that he had let his room. Only two men got drunk during the gale.\n\nWitness had not heard if any Chinese had been washed overboard. Witness heard that some Chinese had been washed overboard; who told him he could not say. Witness did not make enquiries after the typhoon to ascertain how many Chinese had been lost. When he helped to throw the luggage overboard, he heard a seaman observe that money was dropping out from a box.\n\nThe Court was then adjourned till tomorrow, the 13th instant, at 10 a.m.\n\n## MARINE COURT OF ENQUIRY\n\n### S.S. \"GLENLYON\"\n\nThe Marine Court of Enquiry was resumed today, 13th inst., at the Marine Magistracy to enquire into the circumstances attending the loss of life on board the British steamer Glenlyon during her voyage from Singapore to Hongkong. The Court was composed of the Hon. C. May (first Police Magistrate); H. G. Thomsett, Esq., R.N. (Harbour Master); Henry Lowcock, Esq., (unofficial Justice of the Peace); R. H. Cairns, Esq., (Government Marine Surveyor); and Seth Doane, Esq., (Master Mariner and Commander of the S.S. Mikado).\n\nThomas Barnes, quarter-master on board the Glenlyon, having been at sea for 18 years, stated that he joined the Glenlyon in London. He recollected the ship's arrival at Singapore on 23rd October. Witness's duty on board was to keep two watches and to steer. He did not know exactly how many Chinese passengers came on board. The ship sailed on the 26th and met with a gale on the 30th. Witness was on deck during the whole time of the gale, sometimes on the bridge steering, and sometimes aft. He recollected some Chinese on deck during the gale, about 30; some were on the house round the funnel, others were on the after hatch, before the mizen mast. He saw two men lying dead in the water ways; he was at the wheel and did not take much notice whether they had any disturbance or not. Witness heard of a man having jumped overboard, but he did not see any. He heard of reports of men having been washed overboard, but from whom he heard these reports he could not say. Witness was at the after wheel; the wheel was gone, and they had to steer with a crow-bar. He lived in the forecastle. He had never been in the China Sea with passengers. There were some Chinese in the forecastle; the chief mate ordered them down. Witness received $7 for letting his berth; all the berths were let. He let his just as the gale commenced. They asked to let the berths.\n\nWilliam Bergers collected the money for the letting; the sailors all agreed to let their berths. At first, some of the sailors were disposed not to let the Chinamen go into the forecastle at all, but it was afterwards agreed to allow them down there, and to let their berths to them. Witness was down in the forecastle when the agreement as to letting Chinese into the forecastle was made. They agreed that they might come down on payment of something; if a man hadn't paid, and presented himself at the hatchway for admission, witness personally would not have allowed him down. Witness did not know who else collected the lettings; it was agreed that whatever money thus obtained should be equally divided amongst the sailors. There were eleven others to share it amongst, not including the man who was washed overboard. Witness could not say why Bergers acted as collector of the money. Witness received $7 as his share; how much was actually collected he did not know; he had no reason to suspect the honesty of his shipmates. The forecastle was choke full with Chinese. (The captain said the forecastle was certified for 44 men). The place was so full that he could hardly get in himself. Witness did not get into the firemen's side at all.\n\nCaptain Thomsett, on looking over the official log, observed that the deaths were not recorded therein.\n\nThe Captain said he did not know of the deaths personally, and he was disabled during the gale.\n\nCaptain Thomsett said there was someone in charge of the ship, and section 4 of the rules required that any death on board should be recorded.\n\nContinued - Witness saw some of the Chinese fighting, but he did not pay much attention to them as he was steering.\n\nPage 468",

        "content_text": "# \n\nCapt. Templeton, through the Court, asked witness how he could presume to prevent the Chinese from going down the forecastle, in the face of the Chief Officer's orders.\n\nAfter a long pause, witness said that the forecastle was their place of living, and he considered it their property.\n\nCapt. Thomsett remarked that there was no question about that; but here was a case where a lot of Chinamen had to be taken care of in a gale, and it would be uncharitable not to allow them down the forecastle, which the sailors and firemen could not occupy themselves, having to go to their duty on deck.\n\nWitness repeated that the forecastle was their property and they had a right to it. He did not know that any Chinese got down without paying.\n\n## \n\nWilliam Sima, an able seaman on board the Glenlyon, stated that he joined her in London. He recollected the ship's arrival at Singapore, and her departure for Hong-kong. A lot of Chinese came on board with their baggage; they stowed it themselves principally, and on the hatch way. They lashed it themselves with ropes. Witness did not help securing it for them. He recollected meeting with a gale of wind on the 30th. Witness heard no orders to allow the Chinese into the chart room, engine room &c. The only orders he heard were by the mate that they should be taken off the deck. They went into the forecastle, chart room, captain's cabin; some were in the engine room, witness believed. While the men below, witness was busily engaged in throwing their luggage overboard, as it was washing about, endangering the crew's lives. The crew agreed amongst themselves, when the gale was blowing hard, to let their berths at $4 a head, and Bergers collected the money. There were about 100 Chinese down there altogether. Witness received $7 as his share of the money. There was only one hatchway down the forecastle. Witness believed that after collecting from about 20 men, the forecastle was left to the Chinese, as the crew had to go on deck.\n\nWitness did not go down to the forecastle during the gale. During the gale, witness saw two Chinese lying dead on deck abaft the engine-room skylight. The bodies were thrown overboard. One of the crew named George Key was washed overboard; he saw a Chinaman in the water, whether he jumped overboard or was washed overboard he could not say. Witness knew of no other death. Witness did not hear of any rumours of men having been washed overboard. When witness was below the forecastle, about 20 Chinese came down, and Bergers collected money from them; how much witness did not know. While witness was below, he saw several come down who did not pay - could not get it from them. When witness left to go on deck, there were about 25 Chinese below. Eleven men were to share the proceeds of the lettings, and witness received $7. He saw those 25 men in the forecastle bring their luggage into the forecastle. Witness went back into the forecastle on Saturday morning, the Chinese having all left the forecastle. Witness considered he had a right to let his bunk because he had his bed there and it might be spoiled. There were 15 bunks in this part of the forecastle. His bed was spoiled. There were two men in his bunk. The bunks were only let during the gale and not for the voyage. When witness went down on Saturday, he saw quite 60 Chinese on his side of the forecastle; they were jammed in wherever they could get.\n\n## \n\nBu Aon, aged 38 years, and a native of Hainan, stated that he embarked from Singapore. He went there from Malacca, where he had been for more than ten years. He and nineteen others went from Malacca to Singapore to find a steamer to Hongkong. He paid his passage money to the master of a Hong. He and the 19 others went on board the steamer on the 28th Oct. The typhoon came on the 29th. (Capt. Thomsett observed that with the witness, the typhoon might have come on on the 29th, but with the sailors, it might not be on till the 30th). He had his luggage with him. He was on deck and his luggage consisted of a pillow box, which contained $47.45. When the typhoon was blowing, he lay on his face on deck. The 19 men who came with him to Hongkong all landed in Hongkong. He saw four or five Chinese washed overboard during the gale. He was sea-sick. He did not know any of those whom he saw washed overboard. One of those washed overboard was a native of Sunning, and one of Fokien, and the two others were Chiuchew men. Witness saw one man jump overboard after the ship had dropped anchor in harbour. He did not see any one jump overboard during the gale. Those he saw washed overboard were quite dead when they were washed overboard. Witness here said that the four men were not dead when they were washed overboard, but that they died after being washed overboard. (This discrepancy was ascribed to the witness not understanding the first question properly). Witness did not go down; he tried to, but was kicked by some of the crew. He tried to get into the engine room. He did not see or know that any Chinese were in the engine room. He saw no dead bodies on deck. He did not bring his pillow box ashore, because one of the firemen had taken it from him, on the 29th, while he was resting his face and head on it. The fireman took it below. He complained to the captain of his loss, but whether the captain understood him or not, he could not say. The captain was standing on deck aft at the time. He reported this to the captain on the 4th in Hongkong.\n\nCaptain Thomsett thought it impossible for a man so sea-sick as the witness was to have distinguished the four men washed overboard in the way he did. He might have seen four men washed overboard, but he could not particularise them.\n\nMr May imagined that it was possible for the witness to particularise them, as he had been speaking to them before they were washed overboard.\n\nWitness was then asked when he had spoken to the men prior to their being washed overboard, and he replied that he had spoken to them off and on since the departure from Singapore until the typhoon came on. All the men remained on deck, none were taken down. There were about five women and two children among the passengers, and they remained on deck. Among the four washed overboard, one was a child. The gale lasted three days, and during all this while, the whole of the passengers remained on deck. The man who jumped overboard while in the harbour was the man who stabbed another and then jumped overboard.\n\nThe Captain believed that the matter had been brought to the notice of the Police. He believed the Chinaman who jumped overboard had swum ashore, as the ship was close to the wharf.\n\n## \n\nWm. Bergers, quarter-master on board the Glenlyon, stated that he had been at sea 11 years; he was on board the Glenlyon when she left Singapore. A gale of wind came on on the 30th; it commenced that day. There was a number of Chinese passengers on deck. The forecastle was filled with Chinamen; they came down on the afternoon of the 30th. When he was in the forecastle, there were about 35 of them there; how many went down afterwards he could not say. He understood that the captain had given the men permission to allow the Chinese down if the crew liked. The captain and mate did not tell him of this personally, but he heard it from the men. The crew met at the forecastle in the afternoon, and it was agreed to allow the Chinese to occupy their berths, if they would give $4 or $5 a head. Witness collected some of the money; he collected for the forecastle. A quarter-master named Frost, witness believed, accepted money from the Chinese for occupation of the chart room. The Chinese were down first, and witness went round to collect the money; some paying $2, some $5, and one paid $10 for allowing his sick boy and himself to go down; a great many paid nothing. Witness was not on deck during the 31st, having been injured at 4 a.m. He was in the mate's cabin; the mate picked him up and put him there. Witness did not return to ...\n\nPage 469",

His legs were injured and his head cut.\n\nTam Kuey, a Chinese passenger on board the Glenlyon, stated that he came from Malacca, where he had been for 19 years. Eleven others came with him. He had two boxes with him. He fastened them to the ring bolts on deck. The gale commenced on the 30th. He took refuge on the top of an iron house, from thence he looked after his boxes. He went down to the two seamen who were going forward, one having an axe and the other having his money, and some of the money got scattered about. The man with a large package pushed him down and got away, and witness could not save any of his money. He could recognise only one man and not the other. He heard that 40 men had been washed overboard; with his own eyes he saw only 10 washed overboard; one of his 11 friends died of exhaustion on arrival at Hongkong. This was when the anchor was first cast. He took the body ashore to be buried. On the 3rd, when off Green Island, he heard that a man jumped overboard. The 10 men were washed overboard because they could not hold fast. He was not allowed below. None of the 10 men were dead before being washed overboard. He tried to get below but was prevented. He did not see any Chinese going below. There were some women and children on board. After the gale was over, he asked these women where they had been, and they replied that they paid something for getting into some place. After the gale was over he saw one dead body thrown overboard. Witness had $1,000 of his own and about $200 of others' money. Witness was accustomed to go to sea, and he did not feel sea-sick this time. Witness had been trading in boats on the coast of Singapore for about ten years. When he was struggling with the seamen for his dollars, a sea came over, washing over them. He was not washed overboard because he held on to some iron. He believed there were 40 men washed overboard because it was rumoured so.\n\nCaptain Thomsett said if the rumour said 100, would he say 100?\n\nWitness replied that the people talked amongst themselves and said there were 40 washed overboard. A Fokien man went to the agents and obtained 280 passage tickets for all the men. He was not sure that the whole 280 tickets obtained by this Fokien man with a view to profit had been disposed of. He did not know how many landed at Hongkong. None of his friends went below during the gale.\n\nEdmund Frost, able seaman on board the Glenlyon, stated that he had been at sea for about 14 years. He was on board the Glenlyon on the 30th Oct. He was on deck during the whole of the gale, except an hour or so. He knew a good many Chinese were in the chart room.\n\nHe received $9 from the men in the chart room. He got it from them because he handed in their luggage which was lying outside the door. The money was handed to him, in fact he had no time to receive much more. Witness handed the money to be divided amongst the quarter masters. Witness had $7 for his share of letting the forecastle. He could only see two Chinese lay dead on deck; these were the deaths he knew of. He heard an outcry of some men having been overboard; this was from the engine room. He believed these were men round the engine room door, because the door was broken. He thought the two men whose bodies he saw on deck died from their luggage knocking against them; one was black and blue all over his body, and one was covered with blood. He heard an order passed along the deck to put the Chinamen where they would be in safety, and to clear the deck, or something to that effect. He saw no Chinaman jump overboard until they came into harbour.\n\nWong Sai Me stated that he was a passenger on board the Glenlyon. He had been in Singapore selling old clothes. The typhoon came on on the 30th; during the gale, at the height of it, he went on to the place around the funnel. His boxes were left on deck tied to some iron. Witness remained on the deck-house till the vessel's arrival in Hongkong. He saw three or four washed overboard. He saw one man jump overboard; he did not see any one killed during the gale. He did not see any dead bodies after the gale. Those washed overboard were alive at the time. On the morning of the 31st when he came down from the deck house, he missed his box. About 3 or 4 in the morning, two seamen came and wanted to remove his box; he called out to them not to remove it, as it belonged to him. They stopped and went away. In the morning he saw seaman walking aft with two packages which he recognised as containing money, and belonging to him. The red bag contained $650, and the white bag $600. He did not go below, for the sailors would not allow him. At the beginning of the gale some of the passengers couldn't hold on, and hired the room of the sailors.\n\nHe could not say whether there was yet room in the sailor's room to hold more, because he was not allowed to go in, and he could not see. The women hired some room from the sailors, he heard this. He heard a man speaking English bargaining the place for them, but he did not see any money paid. He saw the seamen take the women's boxes inside, and he concluded that they had paid money. A friend of his, who died before reaching Green Island, paid some money, and witness saw it.\n\nThe women got in about 11 am on the 30th, just before the gale commenced, but his friend paid after the women. During the gale they could get no water. He did not see any dead bodies on deck; they might have been thrown overboard before. $600 belonged to him and $650 belonged to friends of his, who entrusted it to him to deliver to their relations. The body of the man who died on the 4th after arrival was buried in Hongkong. All his party lost their money.\n\nThe Court was then adjourned till tomorrow the 14th, at 10 a.m.\n\n## MARINE COURT OF ENQUIRY.\n\n### S.S. \"GLENLYON\"\n\nThe Marine Court of Enquiry was resumed to-day, 14th inst., at the Marine Magistracy to enquire into the circumstances attending the loss of life on board the British steamer Glenlyon during her voyage from Singapore to Hongkong. The Court was composed of the Hon. C. May (first Police Magistrate); H. G. Thomsett, Esq., R. N. (Harbour Master); Henry Lowcock, Esq., (unofficial Justice of the Peace); R. H. Cairns, Esq., (Government Marine Surveyor); and Seth Doane, Esq., (Master Mariner and Commander of the S.S. Mikado).\n\nSum Aloi, a Hakka, stated that he embarked on board the steamer at Singapore. He had been living in Batavia for seven years. He had a box with him when he went on board, which he placed on some iron structure near the place where the stokehold was. Many men came with him from Batavia, but he knew none of them. On the 29th October, it came on to blow, and he could not stand. He went down into the stokehold taking his box with him, and placing it outside the door. When he first went down, he did not pay anything, but about 6 p.m. two men in the engine room took hold of him, and asked him for one dollar; witness did not pay, and they searched his purse, taking from him 18 coins similar to the one he now produced (24 guilder pieces). The coin produced was kept in his box. The men did not return him any of the coins. He remained below during the gale. Witness did not see any body washed overboard, as he was below all the while. He lost nothing from his box, which contained $47.45 and clothing.\n\nMr Lister said he had ascertained that of the 280 tickets, 25 had not been accounted for.\n\nCaptain Thomsett said that he could understand this; he learnt that some of the men who had taken passage in the Glenlyon would not go in her on account of her being so deeply laden, but came in the **B**indostan.\n\nChan Sun, a boatbuilder at Batavia, stated that he took passage in the Glenlyon from Singapore to Hongkong. He had his... \n\nPage 470",

        "content_text": "# The Daily Press\n## HONGKONG, FEBRUARY 17TH, 1874\n\nTHE BURNING OF THE “COLUMBIA.” Yesterday morning we gave a few brief notices concerning the fire which broke out on board the above vessel, and we are sorry now to record the total destruction of the vessel. She arrived here from Manzo, and took in a cargo of rice for San Francisco; her crew was shipped, and she was about to sail in a day or so. About 6:30 pm on Sunday, the 15th instant, she was discovered to be on fire in the forehold, where tar, rope, and other like combustible substances were kept. The crew at the time were at dinner. The alarm was not given for some time, when a gun was fired, and Inspector Grimes, who was on the Praya, at once took a boat and went off. On his arrival, he found that some of the crew had deserted her, and the rest were making preparations to do the same. By this time, Sergeant Wassenius, from the police chop, with a force arrived, and he found only four men on board, and these would not do anything towards subduing the fire, although several casks of water were close to the hatch ready to throw down onto the flames. As will be seen from our police reports, he found the mate of the vessel going about threatening to shoot any person who came near, alleging that his oil paintings had been stolen, and being then drunk got more obstreperous, so that those who would have helped to subdue the flames did not care to assist, when they found the officers and crew indifferent. The flames spread, and signals were again given by guns and blue lights, but all to no purpose, as the fire had got too great a hold. Captain Thomsett, the Harbour Master, Mr. Tonnochy, and Mr. Craig were on board; a fire engine was sent off to render assistance, but the fire having gained as much ground, this was useless. By eleven o'clock, the flames burst above the deck, when all on board had to take shelter in boats. Captain Thomsett, however, remained behind some time after, and was very nearly being left altogether as no person knew he was there. By one o'clock, the ship presented a most imposing sight, the flames having mounted up to the yards on which the sails were already bent for sea. This lasted till about 2 o'clock, when the masts began to fall over the side, and she then continued to burn fore and aft till 9 a.m. yesterday, when the steam tug Fame took her in tow to the beach, inside the spot where the ill-fated Dunmail lies sunk in the bay. She was still smouldering last night.\n\nThe vessel was formerly the American ship Congress,\n\n## 3813\n## 74 60",

        "content_text": "## EXTRAORDINARY MUTINY AT SEA.\n\n(From Sydney Morning Herald, April 17th.) The ship Trevelyan has arrived at Port Chalmers, bringing intelligence of a mutiny on board the barque Satsuma, of Sunderland, which was bound to the Cape of Good Hope. The master communicated the following statement to the captain of the Trevelyan :--\n\n\"On January 29th, 1874, latitude 31' south, longitude 24' west. I, William Leslie, master of the barque Satsuma, of Sunderland, on a passage from Cardiff to Table Bay, with a full cargo of coal, was on the morning of the above-mentioned day, about 5 o'clock, surprised in my bed while asleep by three men seizing me, one of them, the instant I raised my head, put a rope with a slip-knot over it, trying to strangle me; another held a hatchet above me; the third had a revolver pointed at me—all of them looking at me with murder in their eyes. I, with the strength which despair alone gives, sprang from my bed, closed with them, and rushed through them on my way to the fore-cabin where the mate was asleep, dragging the man after me who had the rope round my neck, but did not reach him before my skull was laid open by one or more blows from the hatchet, the blood streaming down my face and blinding me; my head reeled, and I felt I should sink on the deck. I reached the mate's berth, who in an instant sprang from his bed, and saved me from being killed. Gathering all my strength I rushed from the mate's cabin and up the companion, and astonishingly dragged the man (who still kept hold of me) with the rope round my neck on to the poop. When I got there I could get no assistance, but shortly afterwards was joined by the mate, who was soon overpowered by one of the mutineers, who was a very powerful man. At this time I managed to sever the rope; but from being half strangled, loss of blood, and suffering from the effects of the blows from the hatchet, I hardly knew what occurred. All that I can remember there seemed to be revolvers in all directions, for the shots were whizzing round us, and one of them aimed a blow at my head with a handspike, which partly hit me, knocking me down the companion. After that I did not know what took place for some time, thinking all on my side were shot or drowned. Shortly after, the mate came to me—who had got clear of them by some means. I was very weak, and sat down in the after-cabin, and was guarded from the skylight by one of the mutineers, who had a revolver in his hand. The mate was ordered from me—they at this time having full charge of the ship. The cook—one of them—was sent down to the cabin, and handed up six rifles, under cover of their revolvers. They then looked down the skylight, and asked me what boat they should take. After me telling them, they coolly asked if I was much hurt. On my saying that I was, they said they were sorry for it, but if I had kept quiet I should have been all right. They then took the second boat in size, with mast, sail, and six oars, one bag of bread, one breaker of water, wine, whisky, rum, one cheese, one ham, one log line, a bag of nails, compass, a chart from the mate, pipes, tobacco, matches, some small cordage; also, clothes belonging to other members of the crew. They then called out for the man Dunn, as they wanted to hang him before leaving. When I heard what was wanted I begged the ringleader (the steward) to spare his life. At this time one of them was in the hold calling for him to come out, and fired his revolver in the dark several times. He was stowed away under some rope, so could not be found. They then took the rammer belonging to the large gun, and spiked the gun. They took a quantity of black paint to disguise the boat, she being painted white and blue. They also cut several of the running ropes, taking saw, chisel, and life-hooks, the ringleader sitting on and looking down the skylight, with a revolver in his hand, giving his orders in the coolest manner possible. Shortly after the six left the ship, it being nearly calm, standing to the west, distance from the nearest land 900 miles.\"\n\nThe following is the second mate's statement: At 5 a.m. I was in charge of the deck; had just finished my coffee. The steward came behind me, seizing me by the shoulders, two others coming to help him. They then threw me on deck, one of them getting on the top of me, another holding a pistol to my forehead, and said if I spoke he would blow my brains out, the other two lashing my hands and legs. I asked them what they were going to do. They replied, if I kept quiet, they would not hurt me, if not they would throw me overboard. They then slung me with a rope and lowered me down the after hold, and then put the hatch on. I shortly heard the captain cry for help, and heard a rushing going on aft. Soon after one of them looked down the hatch to see if I was still lying there. I asked him where the captain was. He told me that he was dead.\n\nAfter the boat had left the ship, the mate came and set me free.\n\nJohn Dunn, an able-bodied seaman reported: \"At 5 a.m. was asleep on deck, but awoke by Beltram (one of the mutineers), and told to go into the forecastle. I went to the door, but found it was fast; was told that something was going on, and if I interfered it would be worse for me. Shortly after seeing a disturbance on the quarterdeck, and knowing they had revolvers, I hid myself in the hold. After being there some time I heard voices telling me to come out, but did not move. They fired several times, but did not hit me.\"\n\nIn connection with the above report, the schooner `Flora`, which arrived at Sydney on Thursday, the 9th instant, from London, furnishes the following:-On the 29th January, in latitude 31 S. longitude, 22-17 W., the `Flora` was boarded by a boat and crew from the barque `Satsuma`, of Sunderland, bound to Cape Town from Cardiff. The chief officer, who was in charge of the boat, stated that that morning five of the crew, armed with revolvers, had taken forcible possession of a boat, and having seized on provisions and other goods had left the ship, leaving only five of a crew all told on board the barque, and assistance in the shape of an extra hand or two was requested to work the barque into port, but Captain Wright was unable to comply. The wind was fair for the Cape, and the weather fine, at the time.\n\nCaptain Graham, of the `Cingalese`, which arrived at Melbourne on April 8th from Liverpool gives the following account of five men having been found at sea in an open boat, and picked up by the `Kate Carnie`. The `Cingalese`, on the 1st February, in 33-51 S., and 21-51 W., sighted the barque `Kate Carnie`, bound to Hong Kong, and on coming within hailing distance, Captain Wilson, of the `Kate Carnie`, asked Captain Graham if he would relieve him of three out of five men that he had shortly before picked up, as he had not sufficient water on board to last him the voyage if obliged to keep the whole of the men in his vessel. This was acceded to. Captain Wilson, of the `Kate Carnie`, then sent his chief officer on board the `Cingalese`, with the following men:--William Weston, of Manchester, aged 30; John Johnston, of Dungarvan, aged 21; Richard Newton, of Preston, aged 19. They were engaged as seamen on board the ship `Laura`, under the Costa Rica flag, bound from Valparaiso to Monte Video; when out 535 days; the crew had to abandon the `Laura`, as she was in a sinking state, and they took to the boats to save their lives. Those rescued by the `Kate Carnie` were in their boat seven or eight days before they were picked up. The other boats, two in number, were not seen by those saved by the `Kate Carnie` beyond the second night after the men left the `Laura`. An investigation will be held into the matter, when fuller particulars will probably be elicited.\n\nBy telegram from Melbourne we learn that three of the `Satsuma` mutineers were brought before the Court on the 14th. They confessed their guilt and said that the men made the mate drunk and tied him down, and then threw all the rifles and firearms overboard. Five only of the men went into the boat.\n\n## \n14.

This man spoke a little English. When I gave my deposition on the 6th to the marine magistrate, I should have stated that I saw only one man washed overboard - I made a mistake in saying I saw two.\n\nAfter the gale, consequent on the Chinese having lost their provisions, I issued as much bread as they required. We did not give them meat; they did not want any. I ordered the Chinese luggage to be thrown overboard because, as it was washing about, it was endangering the lives of the men who were steering. I saw no disputing or struggling between the seamen and Chinese whilst this was being done. I ordered the passengers from the forecastle; I think some of them were afraid of going aft. I did not know of this until after the storm.\n\nAfter the storm, I heard that some of the Chinese had hidden money; I do not know to whom it belonged.",

The first step is to identify and separate the different components of the text, such as paragraphs, sentences, and potential table structures.\n\n\n## Step 2: Identifying and Correcting OCR Errors\nUpon closer inspection, it's clear that the text has been heavily distorted by OCR errors, including broken words, incorrect spacing, and mixed language output. The task requires correcting unambiguous OCR spelling errors and rejoining broken sentences.\n\n\n## Step 3: Reorganizing the Text\nGiven the disjointed nature of the text, it's essential to reorganize it into coherent paragraphs and sentences. This involves removing extra spaces, adding missing spaces between words, and correcting hyphenation artifacts.\n\n\n## Step 4: Applying Markdown Formatting\nThe task specifies that the output should be in Markdown format. This includes using headers (`#`, `##`, `###`), bolding labels and titles (`**bold**`), reconstructing tables with Markdown table syntax (`| col | col |`), and wrapping file references and codes in backticks.\n\n\n## Step 5: Proofreading and Correction\nUpon examining the provided text, it becomes apparent that the content is not coherent and contains a significant amount of nonsensical or garbled text. The task requires preserving the original content as much as possible while correcting clear errors.\n\n\n## Step 6: Outputting in Markdown\nGiven the constraints and the nature of the input text, the output will focus on correcting obvious errors and formatting the text according to Markdown guidelines.\n\n\nThe final answer is: \n## \nnot undertaken with \n2. \nxy Susquidity to many \nL \nرو \nwat j \nyne W.

        "content_text": "# THE CHINA MAIL\n## KONGKONG, FRIDAY, JAN. 29, 1875.\n\n### THE GOVERNMENT CENTRAL SCHOOL\n\nThe Annual Public Examination of the students of the above school, and the distribution of prizes, took place to-day. Among those present, we observed H. E. Sir Arthur Kennedy, who distributed the prizes, Captain O'Callaghan, D.C., the Hon. V. C. Smith, the Hon. Mr Bramston, the Hon. P. Ryrie, the Hon. J. G. Austin, Messrs Price, Tonnochy, Deane, Romano, Russell, Wong Cho Leong, Rev. Dr. Eitel, Rev. R. Lechler, several ladies, and a few Parsee gentlemen. The boys were seated in rows as closely as they could be accommodated, the recipients of prizes occupying the front row. Each boy was separately called up to receive his prize, and as H. E. handed it to him, he accompanied the gift with a few appropriate words. In giving a large book away to a boy, who was scarcely as high as the table, Sir Arthur said he was glad to see so small a boy receive so large a book, and in awarding the prize to an European lad for having distinguished himself in the Anglo-Chinese class, H. E. observed that he hoped the boy would persevere, and that if he would make the Chinese language a study, he would find it in after life to be of great service to him.\n\nAfter all the prizes were distributed, H. E. addressed the school. He gave some statistics as to the number of boys attending the school during the year, the highest point reached being 528, and the number of those present in school to-day 325. He thought this was really a very large number for one school. Nevertheless, the institution had been of great advantage to those who availed themselves of it. During the year, 185 boys left the school, and most of these had got into respectable employment. H. E. then read the different destinations of these boys; some had left to become clerks in mercantile offices, or to take service in the Chinese Customs, Insurance offices, Telegraph Company's offices, in the local Government departments, &c. This showed that the school had been of the greatest benefit to the students, for had it not been for the training they had had, probably the boys he had mentioned before would not have got into such respectable situations; and no doubt, those who were now present would in after-life feel grateful for the kind attention and care bestowed on them here. His Excellency then passed an encomium on the school, and expressed his confidence in its masters. He next touched upon a subject (to which he had already alluded last year,) which he would be very unwilling to refer to now, but for a wrong impression that had gone abroad, though luckily to a small extent. The absence of religious instruction in the school was looked upon by some as if denominational education were entirely prohibited. But such was not the case; it was not introduced simply because any attempt in that direction would be impossible in a school composed of mixed nationalities. To suppose, therefore, that the government was opposed to religious instruction was a great error. He thought every boy ought to be allowed to follow his own religion, and he would deprecate any attempt to force any one religion on him. It was quite right that each boy should be taught a religion, but that should have been undertaken by the boy's parents or the preachers of his church, and the school was no place for it, nor was the school-master the right man to give that instruction. H. E. was happy to find that the head master concurred entirely with him in that opinion. As he had said before, the school was not the place for religion, nor was the master the person to teach it. It would be rather curious to mix arithmetic with theology. He thought the boys should find their religious instruction somewhere else. The grants-in-aid to school was the best subject touched upon. Payment by results was a very satisfactory arrangement, and to support a school without testing what progress it had made would be mischievous. As to the religious instruction in the schools which sought the grant-in-aid, the Government would be perfectly willing to examine the boys on sectarian subjects if so desired by the managers of the schools. H. E. concluded by hoping that the boys would enjoy themselves during their coming holidays.\n\nDr. Eitel, in response to the call of the Governor, then addressed the boys. He commenced by saying that after what H. E. had said on that most important subject—that of religious instruction—it was not for him to enlarge on it. But he would refer to one subject that was in close connection with it. As they had observed, one of the prizes just given away was one for $60 for three consecutive years to the boy who stood highest in all the subjects taught in the school. This was the Morrison Scholarship, the conditions of which he explained. He understood that for the present the scholarship, connected with the name of a Christian gentleman, the Revd. Dr. Robert Morrison, was to be given away year after year without reference to any religion whatever, but to be given away solely on the result of the examination. He would encourage the boys to strive to acquire knowledge, for knowledge was power, and he hoped they would contribute to the restoration of the ancient grandeur of China (applause).\n\nMr Stewart, the head master, was next called on to speak. He thanked H. E. the Governor, and those who had taken an interest in the school by offering prizes. He put forward his old complaint of the...",

        "content_text": "77\n\n76.\n\nfeste. Dans les vingt-quatre heures suivantes, le Consul enverra au Chef de la Douane un extrait du rôle d'équipage et une note détaillée indiquant le nom du navire, le tonnage légal du bâtiment, et la nature de son chargement; si, par suite de la négligence du capitaine, cette dernière formalité n'avait pu être accomplie dans les quarante-huit heures qui suivront l'arrivée du navire, le capitaine sera passible d'une amende de 50 piastres par jour de retard au profit de la caisse des Douanes; ladite amende, toutefois, ne pourra dépasser la somme de 200 piastres.\n\nAussitôt après la réception de la note transmise par le Consulat, le Chef de la Douane délivrera le permis d'ouvrir la cale. Si le capitaine, avant d'avoir reçu le permis précité, avait ouvert la cale et commencé à décharger, il pourrait être condamné à une amende de 500 piastres au plus, et les marchandises débarquées pourraient être saisies, le tout au profit de la caisse des Douanes.\n\nLes armes et les munitions de guerre que les bâtiments de commerce pourraient avoir à bord pour leur propre sûreté, devront être énumérées sur les papiers de bord et déclarées en même temps que la composition de la cargaison, à leur arrivée au port ou à la Douane.\n\nSi les fonctionnaires du Gouvernement Annamite le jugent nécessaire, ces armes seront mises en dépôt à terre, entre les mains du Capitaine du Port et du Consul, ou dans la poste frontière, pour n'être rendues qu'au départ du bâtiment, soit qu'il prenne la mer, soit qu'il pénètre sur le territoire Chinois.\n\nDans ce dernier cas, la quantité de munitions et d'armes sera déterminée par le Consul et le Chef de la Douane, en raison des circonstances. Les contraventions seront punies de la confiscation des armes au profit du Gouvernement Annamite et, en outre, d'une amende qui ne pourra excéder 500 piastres.\n\nSi un bâtiment a débarqué clandestinement des armes ou des munitions sur le territoire Annamite, ces armes, si elles sont en petit nombre, seront confisquées et les contrevenants seront en outre punis d'une amende de 500 piastres au plus; mais si la quantité d'armes ou de munitions de guerre ainsi débarquées est considérable et constitue un danger, le bâtiment pourra être saisi et confisqué, ainsi que tout ou partie du chargement.\n\nLa confiscation d'un bâtiment Européen ou Américain ne pourra être prononcée que par les deux Gouvernements.\n\nARTICLE XVI.\n\nLes capitaines et négociants étrangers pourront louer telles espèces d'allèges et d'embarcations qu'il leur plaira pour transporter des marchandises et des passagers, et la rétribution à payer pour ces allèges sera réglée de gré à gré par les parties intéressées, sans l'intervention de l'autorité Annamite, et par conséquent sans sa garantie, en cas d'accident, de fraude, et de disparition desdits allèges.\n\nLe nombre n'en sera pas limité et le monopole n'en pourra être concédé à qui que ce soit, non plus que celui de transport, par portefaix, des marchandises à embarquer ou à débarquer.\n\nARTICLE XVII.\n\nToutes les fois qu'un négociant étranger aura des marchandises à embarquer ou à débarquer, il devra d'abord remettre la note détaillée au Consul ou Agent Consulaire, qui en donnera communication au Chef de la Douane. Celui-ci délivrera sur le champ un permis d'embarquement ou de débarquement. Il sera alors procédé à la vérification des marchandises, dans la forme la plus convenable pour qu'il n'y ait chance de perte pour aucune des parties.\n\nLe négociant devra se faire représenter sur le lieu de la vérification (s'il ne préfère y assister lui-même), par une personne réunissant les qualités requises, à l'effet de veiller à ses intérêts au moment où il sera procédé à cette vérification pour la liquidation des droits; faute de quoi, toute réclamation ultérieure restera nulle et non avenue.\n\nSi le négociant ne peut tomber d'accord avec l'employé Annamite sur la valeur à fixer, chaque partie appellera deux ou trois négociants chargés d'examiner les marchandises, et le prix le plus élevé qui sera offert par l'un d'eux sera réputé constituer la valeur des dites marchandises.\n\nLes droits seront prélevés sur le poids net. On déduira en conséquence le poids des emballages et contenants. Si le négociant ne peut s'entendre avec l'employé Annamite sur la fixation de la tare, chaque partie choisira un certain nombre de caisses et de ballots parmi les colis objets du litige; ils seront d'abord pesés bruts, puis tarés ensuite, et la tare moyenne des colis pesés servira de tare pour tous les autres.\n\nSi, pendant le cours de la vérification, il s'élève quelque difficulté qui ne puisse être résolue, le négociant pourra réclamer l'intervention du Consul, lequel portera sur-le-champ l'objet de la contestation au chef des Douanes, et tous deux s'efforceront d'arriver à un arrangement amiable; mais la réclamation devra avoir lieu dans les vingt-quatre heures, sinon il n'y sera pas donnée suite. Tant que le résultat de la contestation restera pendant, le Chef de la Douane n'en portera pas l'objet sur les livres, laissant ainsi toute latitude pour l'examen et la solution de la difficulté.\n\nLes marchandises qui auraient éprouvé des avaries jouiront d'une réduction de droits proportionnée à leur dépréciation. Celle-ci sera déterminée équitablement, et, s'il le faut, par expertise contradictoire, ainsi qu'il a été stipulé plus haut.\n\nARTICLE XVIII.\n\nTout bâtiment entré dans l'un des ports ouverts de l'Annam, et qui n'a point encore levé le permis de débarquement mentionné dans l'Article précédent, pourra dans les deux jours de son arrivée, quitter le port et se rendre dans un port, sans avoir à payer ni droits d'ancrage ni droits de Douane, attendu qu'il les acquittera ultérieurement dans le port où il effectuera la vente de ses marchandises.\n\nARTICLE XIX.\n\nLes droits d'importation seront acquittés par les capitaines ou négociants au fur et à mesure du débarquement des marchandises et après leur vérification. Les droits d'exportation le seront de la même manière lors de l'embarquement. Lorsque les droits de tonnage et de Douane dus par un bâtiment étranger auront été intégralement acquittés, le Chef de la Douane délivrera une quittance générale, sur l'exhibition de laquelle le Consul rendra ses papiers de bord au capitaine et lui permettra de partir.\n\nToutefois, si le Capitaine y consent, il sera loisible à l'administration des Douanes (afin de faciliter les opérations du commerce) de percevoir les droits d'après les papiers de bord sans qu'on soit obligé de décharger les marchandises pour en constater la valeur et la quantité.\n\nARTICLE XX.\n\nAprès l'expiration des deux jours mentionnés dans l'Article XVIII, et avant de procéder au déchargement, chaque bâtiment de commerce acquittera intégralement les droits de phare et d'ancrage fixés par l'Article III. Aucun autre droit, rétribution, ou surcharge ne pourra être exigé sous aucun prétexte.\n\nLors du payement du droit précité, le Chef de la Douane délivrera au capitaine ou au consignataire un reçu en forme de certificat constatant que les droits de phare et d'ancrage ont été intégralement acquittés, et, sur l'exhibition de ce certificat au Chef de la Douane de tout autre port où il lui conviendrait de se rendre, le capitaine sera dispensé de payer de nouveau ces droits pour son bâtiment, tout navire étranger ne devant en être passible qu'une seule fois à chacun de ses voyages d'un pays étranger en Annam.\n\nARTICLE XXI.\n\nTout navire étranger entré dans l'un des ports ouverts au commerce et qui n'y voudra décharger qu'une partie de ses marchandises, ne payera les droits de Douane que pour la partie débarquée; il pourra transporter le reste de sa cargaison dans un autre port et l'y vendre. Les droits seront alors acquittés.\n\nDans le cas où des étrangers, après avoir acquitté dans un port les droits sur des marchandises, voudraient les réexporter et aller les vendre dans un autre port, ils en préviendraient le Consul ou Agent Consulaire; celui-ci, de son côté, informera le Chef de la Douane, lequel, après avoir constaté l'identité de la marchandise et la parfaite intégrité des colis, remettra aux réclamants une déclaration attestant que les droits afférents auxdites marchandises ont été effectivement acquittés.\n\nMunis de cette déclaration, les négociants étrangers n'auront, à leur arrivée dans l'autre port, qu'à la présenter par l'entremise du Consul au Chef de la Douane, qui délivrera, pour cette partie de la cargaison, sans retard et sans frais, un permis de débarquement en franchise de droits; mais si l'autorité découvrait de la fraude ou de la contrebande parmi ces marchandises ainsi réexportées, celles-ci seraient, après vérification, confisquées au profit de la caisse des Douanes.\n\nARTICLE XXII.\n\nAucun transbordement de marchandises ne pourra avoir lieu que sur permis spécial et dans un cas d'urgence. S'il devient indispensable d'effectuer cette opération, il devra en être référé au Consul, qui délivrera un certificat, sur le vu duquel le transbordement sera autorisé par le Chef de la Douane. Celui-ci pourra toujours déléguer un employé de son administration pour y assister.\n\n[8]\n\nX\n\n300",

C'est là le motif de la dépression éprouvée par le marché parisien; une des conséquences de la guerre de sécession et de la fermeture du marché américain qui pèse encore sur la situation actuelle. Tels sont les enseignements que nous fournissent les registres douaniers parisiens en ce qui concerne le passage du régime de la protection à la liberté. Nous allons leur demander d'autres enseignements au point de vue des conséquences des années 1870 et 1871. Les calculs, comme précédemment, sont en millions.\n\nImportation. Exportation.\n\n1869. 200 978\n\n1870. 440 166\n\n1871. 116 108\n\n1872. 238 208\n\n1873. 240 305\n\n1874. 268 379\n\n1875. 312 506\n\nL'année 1869 avait été excessivement prospère au point de vue de l'importation; elle avait dépassé l'année précédente, qui n'avait atteint que 184 millions. On voit qu'en 1870 et 1871, la chute a été surtout profonde pour le commerce d'exportation, qui dans la seconde de ces années a diminué de plus de 30%. En effet, le travail a été suspendu pendant neuf mois consécutifs; l'importation était moins grièvement atteinte, par le fait d'un mouvement nécessaire en ce qui concernait l'alimentation et les armes. Le relèvement, du reste, a été prompt, car le chiffre total d'importation et d'exportation, qui n'était que de 478 millions en 1869, est arrivé à 533 en 1872. Depuis, il a dépassé 800 millions, ainsi qu'on l'a déjà dit.\n\nPeut-être, en ces temps d'oscillations de la valeur des métaux, n'est-il pas sans importance de donner les chiffres de l'entrée et de la sortie des valeurs métalliques à la douane de Paris. Voici les totaux or et argent confondus; les calculs sont en millions.\n\nImportation. Exportation.\n\n1869. 67 17\n\n1870. 47 12\n\n1871. 32 74\n\n1872. 143 61\n\n1873. 450 40\n\n1874. 191 8\n\n1875. 191 8 (1)\n\nCes chiffres, plus encore que les précédents, reflètent les destinées agitées de la grande ville, aussi bien que celles de la France. L'importation des métaux diminue par suite des troubles. Paris avait reçu 67 millions de métaux précieux en 1869 et, en 1871, le chiffre n'est plus que de 32. A partir de cette époque, la masse importée est plus considérable que jamais; elle atteint plus de 191 millions en 1875. Quant à l'exportation, elle subit un mouvement inverse. Il est bon de remarquer que la douane de Paris a toujours reçu de l'étranger plus de métaux précieux qu'elle ne lui en a envoyés, excepté en 1871, où l'exportation a doublé l'importation. Les deux chiffres sont, du reste, exceptionnels; dans les six dernières années, Paris n'a jamais reçu aussi peu de métaux précieux et n'en a autant envoyé au dehors qu'en 1871 et 1872.\n\nAvant de quitter les chiffres généraux fournis par la douane parisienne, quelques remarques sont encore à faire. Les plus gros chiffres de l'importation pour Paris sont toujours ceux portés sous la rubrique: Tissus, passementeries, rubans de laine. Ce chapitre arrive parfois jusqu'à 30 millions. Puis viennent trois objets d'alimentation: le café, le sucre étranger et le cacao. Puis les tissus, passementeries et rubans de coton, arrivant souvent à 10 millions. La nomenclature générale contient une multitude d'articles, matières premières ou demi-manufacturées, que Paris renvoie à l'état consommable à l'étranger, de qui il les tient. Quant à l'exportation, les tissus, passementeries et rubans de soie ou de laine en forment la masse principale. Il y a toujours de ce chef plus de 100 millions. Puis viennent, dans l'ordre suivant, des articles absolument parisiens: mercerie et boutons, peaux ouvrées et préparées, habillements, pièces de lingerie cousues, orfèvrerie et bijouterie, etc.\n\nEnfin, il peut être intéressant de comparer le chiffre total du commerce extérieur de Paris et celui du commerce extérieur de la France. Voici les chiffres pour l'ensemble des douanes, et pour la douane spéciale de Paris. Les calculs sont toujours en millions.\n\nAnnée. Paris.

Il occupe le neuvième rang pour la quantité de tonnes entreposées, et le cinquième pour la valeur des marchandises qui transitent peu, à la différence de ce qui se passe dans les autres villes et sont consommées ou transformées sur place. L'entrée annuelle moyenne est de 35 millions, et la sortie de 25, soit 10 millions de marchandises existant dans les entrepôts. Les admissions temporaires pour Paris consistent surtout en fer, fonte, tôles et aciers, qui repartent à l'état de fonte moulée, articles de ferronneries, tels que clous, chaînes, ustensiles de ménage et en outils d'acier et objets de fantaisie de même matière. On admet encore temporairement une grande quantité d'étoffes de diverses natures.\n\nEn 1874, il est entré 383,000 kilogrammes de mérinos écru, estimés 4 millions 304,000 francs et qui sont ressortis imprimés et valant plus de 5 millions; 12,000 kilogrammes de châles écrus, valant 176,000 francs, sont repartis avec une estimation de 1 million 287,000 francs. Tel est, dans son ensemble, l'organisme douanier, établi à Paris et dépendant de l'administration centrale.\n\nDe prime abord, il semble que l'octroi municipal soit aussi pour la ville une sorte de ligne douanière permettant de se rendre compte de la totalité du mouvement commercial non constaté par l'Etat. Les villes libres du moyen âge, qui étaient des républiques autonomes, pouvaient chiffrer toutes les entrées et toutes les sorties. La ville des doges, Venise, avait sa douane, dogana. L'administration parisienne n'a eu en vue que l'application de taxes sur certains objets de façon à se procurer une certaine somme. Il a été expliqué ici que l'octroi n'a d'abord atteint que les objets d'alimentation. Lentement et sous l'empire d'impérieux besoins, on a frappé certaines matières industrielles. Il n'y a rien là de pareil aux états douaniers enregistrant toutes choses.\n\nPeut-être des quantités de boissons entrées pourrait-on tirer des déductions sur la marche de l'industrie. Mais les états sont récents. En 1872, on a 899 millions de kilogrammes; en 1873, c'est 896 millions, et, en 1874, on n'a plus que 673 millions. Ces chiffres subissent, dans une mesure parfois considérable, des modifications dues à la température.\n\nLa ville de Paris possède aussi ses entrepôts. L'un d'eux est le célèbre entrepôt des vins, situé près du Jardin des Plantes. Il en existe d'autres pour toutes les matières d'octroi, moins les boissons, les bestiaux, les charbons, etc. Il existe en outre 13 entrepôts fictifs, qui permettent d'entrer en franchise certaines matières et de les réexporter hors la ville, ainsi qu'on fait en matière d'admission temporaire et de réexportation avec l'étranger. Une partie seulement des matières premières de l'industrie parisienne devant subir ces formalités, les chiffres généraux ne semblent point utiles à connaître.\n\nTel est le mouvement de cette douane de Paris, dont les résultats annuels sont seuls publiés par l'administration, tandis que les états mensuels n'en parlent point. Il est pourtant plus considérable qu'en certains royaumes tout entiers, car la est, au point de vue des affaires, le cœur même de la France.\n\nACHILLE MERCIER.\n\nLA POPULATION DE L'EMPIRE D'ALLEMAGNE, PREMIERS RÉSULTATS PUBLIÉS DU DÉNOMBREMENT EFFECTUÉ\n\nLE 31 DÉCEMBRE 1875.\n\nLe bureau de statistique de Berlin vient de publier une partie des résultats du recensement général de la population fait le 31 décembre dernier.\n\nVoici le résumé de cette opération pour le royaume de Prusse.\n\nHanovre.... Westphalie. Resse-Nassau. Prov. du Rhin... Hohenzollern.\n\nDe toutes les provinces de la Prusse, ce sont les deux provinces de la rive gauche du Rhin où l'augmentation de la population a été la plus forte. Ainsi la Westphalie, qui, en 1871, comptait 1,778,175 habitants, en compte, en 1875, 1,907,195, soit une augmentation de 132,020 ou 7 1/2%. La province du Rhin, qui, en 1871, comptait 3,579,347 habitants, en compte, en 1875, 3,807,120; augmentation, 227,773, ou 6 1/3%.\n\nLes autres provinces sont loin d'arriver à des chiffres pareils, excepté la province de Brandebourg, dont l'augmentation a été de 1871 à 1875, de 269,325 habitants, soit 9 1/2%, chiffre dans lequel, il est vrai, Berlin et Charlottenbourg entrent pour 148,675.\n\nC'est aussi dans les provinces du Rhin et de la Westphalie que se trouvent le plus grand nombre de villes où l'augmentation de la population a atteint des proportions considérables.\n\nAinsi, sur 36 villes de l'Etat prussien au-dessus de 20,000 habitants, 18 appartiennent à ces deux provinces, et, parmi ces 18 villes, presque toutes ont fourni un accroissement de population variant de 10 à 34%.\n\nAinsi l'on peut voir, par le tableau suivant, que la population de Düsseldorf s'est accrue en quatre ans de 11,385 habitants ou de 16.41%\n\nCelle de Barmen......\n\nCologne\n\nKœnigsberg.\n\nDanzig\n\nMagdebourg.\n\nBarmen\n\n+\n\nKotbus.\n\nTrèves..\n\n721\n\n22.650 18.881 3.769\n\n22.042 21.442 600\n\n21.444\n\nLandsberg a.

Pourquoi? C'est ce qu'il n'a pas jugé nécessaire d'expliquer. Quant à l'organisation même du travail pénitentiaire, c'est là un autre côté de la question, que la Chambre n'a pas abordé et que je m'abstiens de discuter pour le moment. Je me borne, en terminant, à mentionner l'idée mise en avant par M. Martin Nadaud, qui ne voit pas pourquoi on ne ferait pas pénétrer dans les prisons le système de la participation. Cette idée n'est peut-être pas, à l'examiner de près, aussi impraticable qu'elle semble au premier abord, et il se pourrait bien qu'on y eût songé déjà, en appelant la chose d'un autre nom. Il est certain que des primes accordées, suivant une règle déterminée, aux travailleurs les plus laborieux et les plus habiles, pourraient produire, au point de vue de leur moralisation et de leur instruction professionnelle, de bons résultats; et si c'est là ce que M. Nadaud entend par le mot « participation », va pour la participation.\n\nARTHUR MANGIN.\n\nLE BASSIN HOUILLER DU NORD ET DU PAS-DE-CALAIS.\n\nV. (1).\n\nLA COMPAGNIE DES MINES DE BRUAY. LA CONCESSION DE MARLES.\n\nSituation topographique. — La concession des mines de Bruay est située dans le bassin du Pas-de-Calais. Son étendue est d'un peu plus de 38 kilomètres carrés (5 kil. 800 mètres de longueur sur 6 kil. 800 de largeur). Elle est limitée au nord par des terrains qui la séparent de celle d'Annezin; au sud, par le village d'Houdain; à l'est, par la concession de Noeux, et à l'ouest par la concession de Marles. Elle prend son nom du village de Bruay, situé dans la vallée de la Lawe; la population de ce village s'élevait à peine, lors des premiers travaux, à 700 habitants; aujourd'hui elle est de 4,000 âmes. La concession de Bruay s'étend sur douze communes, toutes situées dans l'arrondissement de Béthune. Elle est traversée par la rivière la Lawe, qui va se jeter dans le canal d'Aire à la Bassée. Elle est, en outre, reliée à la gare de Fouquereuil, station du chemin de fer du Nord, et au canal d'Aire à la Bassée, par un chemin de fer industriel qui a été concédé à la Compagnie de Bruay et construit par elle.\n\nHistorique. Une société de recherches pour la découverte de la houille, créée à la date du 1er septembre 1851, et dans laquelle on voit figurer M. Lecomte, député des Côtes-du-Nord, entreprit divers sondages dans la concession actuelle de Bruay. Ses premiers travaux consistèrent en divers sondages qui furent exécutés dans l'ordre suivant :\n\nLe 1er sur Bruay, le 2 décembre 1851;\n\nLe 2 sur Lapugnoy, le 20 décembre 1851;\n\nLe 4 sur Divion, le 17 mai 1852;\n\nLe 3 sur Labuissière, le 23 mars 1852;\n\nLe 5e sur Bruay, le 17 août 1852;\n\nLe 6 sur Bruay, le 27 septembre 1852;\n\nLe 7° sur Choques, le 12 mai 1853;\n\nLe 8 sur Fouquereuil, le 29 décembre 1854.\n\nCette société de recherche, après avoir constaté l'existence de la houille, demanda au gouvernement une concession sur les territoires que nous venons d'énumérer, et en même temps rédigea, devant notaire, les 14, 17 et 24 mai 1852, les statuts qui devaient régir la société définitive pour l'exploitation de cette concession. Ces statuts régissent encore la société actuelle. La concession définitive qui vise les statuts de la société Lecomte fut obtenue le 29 décembre 1855. La société Lecomte, aujourd'hui société des mines de Bruay, fut constituée au capital de 3 millions de francs avec 3,000 actions; mais, plus tard, les actions de 1,000 francs furent libérées à 400 francs, et le capital réellement versé par les actionnaires ne s'est élevé qu'à 1,040,000 francs. La société est gérée par un conseil d'administration composé de cinq membres nommés à vie. Elle possède actuellement quatre puits, tant en exploitation qu'en construction (le puits n° 2 est momentanément abandonné). Le puits n° 1 fut commencé le 27 décembre 1852; le puits n°2 fut commencé le 27 août 1858; le puits n° 3 fut commencé le 27 octobre 1860; le puits n°4, actuellement en enfoncement, fut commencé le 29 juin 1874. La formation de la houille ressemble à celle...\n\n(1) Voir l'Économiste Français du 7 octobre 1876.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\nSAMEDI 2 DÉCEMBRE 1876.\n\n...des concessions voisines; elle est recouverte par des morts-terrains appartenant à l'époque tertiaire et mesurant une épaisseur de 100 à 150 mètres. Ces terrains renferment une grande quantité d'eau.\n\nProduction. Nous ne parlerons ici que de la production constatée pendant les cinq dernières années, de 1871 à 1875. Nous laisserons de côté l'extraction de la fosse n° 2, qui a été suspendue en 1868. Ce puits n'a jamais produit que 344,201 hectolitres pendant la durée de sa mise en activité. La compagnie n'a pas perdu l'espoir de reprendre plus tard son extraction; elle attend que les veines qu'il renferme en profondeur soient éclairées par les travaux des fosses n° 4 et n° 3, afin de juger si la nature des terrains et de la houille, ainsi que la puissance des veines, méritent qu'on entreprenne son approfondissement.\n\nLa production des puits n° 1 et n° 3 dans les cinq dernières années a été :\n\nAnnée\nFosse n° 1\nFosse n° 3\nTotal\n\n1871\n1.282.528 hectol.\n339.492 hectol.\n1.630.420 hectol.\n\n1872\n1.632.808\n575.872\n\n1873\n1.795.164\n792.276\n\n1874\n1.765.468\n807.926\n1.131.798\n\n1875\n\nLes veines reconnues à la fosse n° 1 sont au nombre de dix; elles représentent une épaisseur de houille de 9m,20. Les veines de la fosse n° 3, qui sont supérieures à celles de la fosse n° 1, sont au nombre de 9 jusqu'à la profondeur de 302 mètres; elles représentent une épaisseur de houille de 11,66.\n\nEn résumé, la Compagnie de Bruay, à la profondeur d'environ 300 mètres, possède, à la date du 30 juin 1875, 21 couches exploitables, représentant un massif de houille de 21 mètres d'épaisseur, et reconnues sur une largeur de 850 mètres. Il reste encore à explorer, tant au nord qu'au sud, une largeur de 5,500 mètres, où probablement on rencontrera des houilles grasses et demi-grasses. La fosse n° 2, qui a atteint une profondeur de 270 mètres, a recoupé trois couches de houille :\n\nLa 1re a une puissance de... 0,50\n\nLa 2e ... 1,20\n\nLa 3e ... 0,50\n\nMoyens de transport. - La Compagnie des mines de Bruay est située à environ 7 kilomètres du chemin de fer du Nord, sur la ligne des houillères, à laquelle elle se relie à la station de Fouquereuil: elle est distante d'environ 9 kilomètres du canal d'Aire à la Bassée. La situation topographique des mines de Bruay, éloignées du chemin de fer du Nord de 7 kilomètres et du canal de 9 kilomètres, aurait complètement empêché son développement si la Compagnie n'avait pas fait les dépenses nécessaires pour se relier tant au chemin de fer du Nord qu'au canal. Un décret, en date du 13 juillet 1868, accorda la concession d'un chemin de fer de 7 kilomètres à la Compagnie de Bruay, pour se relier à la Compagnie du chemin de fer du Nord à Fouquereuil. Un décret, en date du 13 octobre 1867, raccorde la fosse n° 3 au chemin principal des mines de Bruay; ce qui permet de transporter les produits de cette fosse à Fouquereuil. Enfin, un décret en date du 7 mai 1872 relie le chemin de fer des mines de Bruay au canal d'Aire à la Bassée. Cet embranchement permet à la Compagnie de Bruay d'expédier ses produits par les canaux. En 1871, la compagnie a fait creuser, sur le territoire de la ville de Béthune, un bassin pour l'embarquement de ses charbons. Ce bassin, qui communique directement au canal d'Aire à la Bassée, est destiné plus tard à être agrandi. Il a été creusé dans un terrain de 20 hectares environ, dont la Compagnie de Bruay est propriétaire. Ce travail a été fait sous la direction de M. Bertin, ingénieur en chef de la navigation, et de M. Vainet, ingénieur en chef des ponts et chaussées. Les divers chemins de fer appartenant à la Compagnie de Bruay ont une longueur de 14 kilomètres environ et mettent la Compagnie, auparavant déshéritée de moyens de transport, dans une, situation exceptionnelle.\n\nRenseignements statistiques et financiers. - La mise en valeur de la concession de Bruay a nécessité des capitaux considérables. A la date du 30 juin 1875, l'installation des quatre puits, les terrains, les maisons, les écoles, les ateliers, l'outillage, les chemins de fer, le bassin, y compris le fonds de roulement à cette date, etc., n'ont pas demandé moins de...

Fr. 2,878,803 87\n\nc'est-à-dire plus de quatre fois le capital social. Telles sont les ressources au moyen desquelles la Compagnie de Bruay, qui date à peine de vingt ans, a pu faire ces grandes dépenses dont quelques-unes ne seront productives, comme on vient de le voir, que dans quelques années.\n\nInstitutions philanthropiques. Comme les autres compagnies houillères du bassin du Pas-de-Calais, la compagnie de Bruay a bâti pour le logement de ses ouvriers et de son personnel des maisons saines et confortables. Elle en possède 350 qui sont louées moyennant un loyer qui couvre à peine les réparations d'entretien.\n\nLa compagnie a bâti une salle d'asile et des écoles pour les enfants de ses ouvriers, où il a été installé des caisses d'épargne scolaires depuis deux ans. Ces écoles sont fréquentées par 1,100 élèves, en y comprenant ceux qui suivent les cours d'adultes, et les jeunes filles qui vont à l'ouvroir pour la couture. Cet ouvroir est destiné à recevoir les jeunes filles qui ont reçu les notions de l'instruction primaire. Les diverses constructions, écoles et maisons, ont coûté, à la date du 30 juin 1878, une somme de 1,199,441 fr. 53 c. Les ouvriers reçoivent, en outre, le charbon destiné à leur chauffage. Dans le but de faire baisser le prix des objets nécessaires à la consommation de ses ouvriers, la Compagnie de Bruay a favorisé la création d'une société coopérative. Les résultats ont dépassé ses espérances; les prix de la viande, des denrées, ont été maintenus dans des limites très-raisonnables; les membres de la société, tout en recevant 3 % de leur capital, ont pu constituer des réserves importantes qui atteignent à ce jour près de trois fois le capital; en outre, depuis plusieurs exercices, les sociétaires se partagent, chaque année, au prorata de leur consommation, un dividende égal au capital social. Cette société coopérative à laquelle la compagnie attache la plus grande importance, est sous le contrôle de M. Dincq, un des administrateurs de la compagnie. Dans son personnel, la compagnie de Bruay a recruté les éléments d'une excellente fanfare, à laquelle elle accorde des subventions. La compagnie de Bruay a créé une caisse de secours qui est exclusivement à sa charge. Elle ne fait pour cette caisse aucune retenue sur le salaire des ouvriers. Cette caisse, indépendamment des dépenses de l'instruction primaire, auxquelles elle pourvoit dans le sens le plus libéral, paie les dépenses afférentes: 1° au service de santé (soins du médecin et médicaments), 2° aux secours pécuniaires et en nature aux ouvriers malades ou blessés, 3° au service religieux; 4° aux pensions allouées aux anciens ouvriers, à leurs veuves et aux orphelins. La compagnie des mines de Bruay a appelé l'attention du congrès sur: 1° la machine d'extraction de la fosse n° 1 et la batterie de générateurs qui ont été installées en remplacement de l'ancienne machine et des anciens générateurs sans arrêter la marche de l'extraction; 2° les travaux de la fosse n° 3; 3° les travaux de la fosse n° 4; 4° son chemin de fer et sa gare d'eau établie à Béthune pour l'embarquement de ses charbons et la réception des bois.\n\nCONCESSION DE MARLES.\n\nHistorique. — La concession des mines de Marles, définitivement instituée par décret du 29 décembre 1853, en même temps que celles de Bruay et de Ferlay, occupe une superficie de 9 kilomètres carrés 90 hectares, répartis sur les territoires des communes de Marles, Calonne-Ricouart, Cauchy-à-la-Tour, Auchel, Lillers, Burbure, Allouagne et Lapugnoy. Un premier puits fut commencé en 1853 près de Marles, mais il s'écroula, pendant le fonçage, à la profondeur de 36 mètres, et on dut en recommencer un autre en 1854 (n° 2) à 30 mètres du premier. La nature excessivement douce des terrains et l'affluence considérable des eaux créèrent les plus grandes difficultés pour le passage du niveau; mais elles furent heureusement surmontées, et en 1858 on commençait à extraire. La fosse n° 2 était en pleine production depuis 8 ans, lorsque survint la catastrophe de 1866, que n'ont pas encore oubliée ceux qui s'intéressent aux questions de mines. Un fort mouvement se déclara dans le cuvelage à la profondeur de 56 mètres: quelques pièces s'étant détachées laissèrent échapper d'énormes filets d'eau, entraînant le terrain complètement désagrégé, et, malgré les mesures prises, le puits s'écroula dans la nuit du 2 mai, engloutissant le châssis à molettes, la machine d'épuisement, une partie des bâtiments de la machine d'extraction et des chaudières, et condamnant pour longtemps toute la partie de la concession exploitée par ce puits. Malgré cette catastrophe, la production poursuivit son développement normal, grâce à la forte impulsion donnée aux travaux du puits n° 3 Saint-Firmin, commencé en 1863 sur le territoire d'Auchel, et qui se trouvait prêt à être mis en exploitation au moment de l'accident; tous les ouvriers du n° 2 furent reportés au n° 3 et, sur la fin de 1866, on atteignait une production journalière moyenne de 4,500 hectolitres, beaucoup plus forte que celle de la fosse de Marles. Aussi l'extraction, qui était en 1863 de 62,487 tonnes, arrive à 84,469 en 1866 et s'élève à 99,619 tonnes en 1867 et 119,815 en 1868. En juin 1867 on commença les travaux de la fosse n° 4 (Saint-Emile) sur le territoire d'Auchel, dans la partie confinant aux champs d'exploitation du n° 2 des mines de Ferlay. Ce puits, mis en production en 1870, donna 32,000 tonnes en 1871 et 80,000 en 1872. La production des deux puits fut de 222,229 tonnes en 1872 et de 231,243 en 1873. Les débuts du n° 4 furent assez difficiles à cause de la nature accidentée du gîte; mais, grâce au grand développement donné aux travaux de recherche, l'avenir de ce puits est assuré et il est en mesure de fournir quotidiennement 5 à 6,000 hectolitres. En juin 1872, on commence les travaux d'un nouveau siège double, le n° 5, situé encore sur le territoire d'Auchel, à 1,100 mètres au midi du n° 3.\n\nLes travaux d'installation du premier puits sont à peu près terminés, et on compte pouvoir le mettre en extraction sur la fin de l'année. Le second puits arrive sur le terrain houiller.\n\nVoici un tableau de la production annuelle de chacune des fosses de la concession de Marles, à partir de 1858 :\n\nAnnées\nN° 2 Marles\nN° 3 Saint-Firmin\nN° 4 Saint-Emile\nProduction totale\n\n1858\n31,730\n\n31,730\n\n1859\n51,428\n\n51,428\n\n1860\n56,333\n\n56,333\n\n1861\n67,037\n\n67,037\n\n1862\n64,074\n\n64,074\n\n1863\n71,225\n\n71,225\n\n1864\n41,568\n62,487\n\n1865\n\n84,469\n\n84,469\n\n1866\n\n99,619\n\n99,619\n\n1867\n\n119,815\n\n119,815\n\n1868\n\n119,833\n\n1869\n\n194,113\n\n1870\n\n125,198\n74,400\n130,596\n\n1871\n\n153,433\n32,000\n421,423\n\n1872\n\n144,303\n80,754\n222,230\n\n1873\n\n183,043\n83,199\n231,242\n\n1874\n\n144,967\n67,313\n212,285\n\n1875\n\n139,904\n21,608\n231,590\n\nGisement.

D'un autre côté, les couches inférieures du faisceau exploité sont identifiées avec les veines du n° 1 de la compagnie de Ferlay, qui sera bientôt en mesure de compléter ses études stratigraphiques sur ses couches du n° 2 et du n° 3, intérieures encore à celles du n° 1.

        "content_text": "## EXPLOSION ON THE \"YESSO.\"\n\nGREAT LOSS OF LIFE,\n\nA fearful explosion, which has resulted in the loss of about eighty lives, occurred on the steamer Yesso, on her arrival at Hongkong from the Coast Ports on the morning of the 22nd November. The vessel had just arrived alongside Messrs. Douglas Lapraik's wharf when a dull sound was heard and immediately the forward part of the vessel was enveloped in clouds of steam. As soon as this steam cleared off it was found that the upper plate of the forward end of the starboard boiler had been blown out. The steam had filled the fore-hold, burst open the hatchway to the 'tween decks (occupied by Chinese passengers) and had thrown the deck-skylight from its position. Twelve men had been killed on the spot, and the wounded were lying about in all directions. The scene was one inexpressibly distressing. Scattered about the deck lay the skins of hands, feet, and legs, which had come off entire.\n\nPrompt measures were taken by the captain and his officers, assisted by volunteers from the shore, to alleviate as far as possible the sufferings of the injured, and oil and other handy remedies were freely applied. In the meantime Dr. Adams, the Health Officer of the Port, had arrived, and steps were at once taken to have the sufferers conveyed to Hospital, where their wounds were dressed, and then as the accommodation in the hospital was insufficient, the European mess-room in the gaol was fitted up as a temporary hospital, and the sufferers were removed there in the course of the morning.\n\nAs soon as the Admiral heard of the accident he signalled for all the men-of-war in port to render medical assistance, which they promptly did, and Surgeon Mowll, of the Admiral's dispatch-boat Vigilant, remained in constant attendance on the unfortunate sufferers for several days. A number of the more intelligent of the European and Chinese prisoners were selected as attendants, and made excellent nurses. These men have been made the object of the Governor's clemency, most of them have been rewarded with their liberty, and others have received partial remissions of their sentences.\n\nThe number of Chinese passengers on the steamer was a hundred and seventy. These were distributed on the forward and aft 'tween decks and on the main deck. A good many of the passengers had left the 'tween decks before the accident occurred, but coolies and boarding-house runners had gone down to look for jobs, and these people contributed largely to the number of killed and wounded. The total number of persons killed or so severely injured as to be taken to hospital was eighty-nine and ten more were discovered afterwards in sampans in the harbour. In addition to these there were many who received injuries not very severe and who went away and have not since been heard of.\n\nThe inquest was opened on the afternoon of the day on which the accident occurred by Mr. Russell, coroner, and a jury composed of Messrs. Mosely, Meyenberg, and Radecker. At that time the number of deaths amounted to thirty-seven, and the number was being hourly increased. The jury had to go through the painful task of viewing the bodies. They first went to the dead-house in Hollywood-road, where the dead bodies, ranged on the floor and on benches, presented a fearful spectacle, the skin hanging from parts of the bodies or being completely stripped off. A still more painful sight was that in the improvised hospital in the gaol, where forty-nine sufferers lay moaning on their beds. All that could be done to make them comfortable had been done; they had had the best medical attendance, and their pain had been alleviated to the full extent of surgical skill, but it was heart-rending to hear their groans and observe their fearful sufferings. It was not only their external wounds they suffered from, but they had inhaled the steam and thus been scalded internally.\n\nThe jury next visited the Yesso, and after that the Tung Wah Hospital, where there were eight wounded, and the Civil Hospital, where a man and another man remained. All the sufferers by the explosion were Chinese, with the exception of the second engineer, W. Haggat, and one Malay, both of whom died. Although there were several women on board none of them were injured.\n\nThe jurors having seen the dead bodies and visited the wounded, the inquiry was adjourned until the following day. In all the inquiry lasted six days. The cause of the accident was rendered sufficiently clear by the scientific evidence. As to who was responsible for the state of things which existed and rendered the accident possible, the first engineer, Theodore Bernard, said it was the duty of the third engineer to examine the boilers and to report to him if there were any defects; the third engineer, W. H. King, said he had reported to the second engineer, the unfortunate man who died, that the stays of the boiler were corroded, but the second engineer thought they were splash boards and not stays.\n\nThe jury returned the following verdict:\n\n| Verdict |\n| --- |\n| We find that Tsang Asam and several others met their deaths from an explosion of the starboard boiler of the steamship Yesso in this harbour on the 22nd instant, and that the said explosion resulted from the defective condition of the boiler, the gusset stays in the forward end being, with the exception of one, corroded through, and the end plate also corroded to a dangerous extent. This state of the boiler was owing to the negligence and want of judgment of the engineers, whom we consequently consider guilty of manslaughter. We are of opinion that no blame can be attached to any one else. We would also add that we consider it most deplorable that in a large shipping centre like Hongkong there are no periodical Government surveys of the boilers and machinery of steamers, as is the case in the United Kingdom. |\n\nThe two engineers had been charged with manslaughter before the magistrate before the verdict was given and the case against them is still proceeding before C. May, Esq., the Crown Solicitor appearing to prosecute. The first prisoner is defended by Mr. Brereton, and the second by Mr. Francis.\n\nThe boiler, it appears, was built in Hongkong about three years and a half ago. The forward end was secured by the flanging of the plates and gusset stays. These gusset stays, of which there were eight attached to the plate blown out, had originally been fifteen inches broad by three-eighths of an inch thick. It was discovered in the examination after the explosion that they were all very much corroded and only one of them had the appearance of having been recently severed; they were very thin, some about the thickness of thick paper and the thickest one eighth of an inch thick. The plate itself was of Lowmoor iron. Originally it had been three-eighths of an inch thick; in some parts it was found to be still nearly of its original thickness, in others three-sixteenths of an inch, and in one part one-eighth. In the explosion the plate was blown through a wooden bulkhead and several tiers of chests of tea to a distance of 16 feet. The cargo, of course, was very much damaged.\n\nThere were several very narrow escapes in the accident. A few who were in cabins had the presence of mind to shut their doors and open scuttles thereby securing a good supply of air, and thus they escaped injury entirely or very nearly so. One man told a wonderful tale at the inquest to the effect that he was sitting on the 'tween decks hatch when the explosion took place, and the next thing he remembered was finding himself on the main deck, his belief being that he had been blown through the skylight. His brother, who was standing a short distance away from him when the accident occurred, was killed, and it is difficult to account for the man's escape in any other way than that in which he accounts for it himself, as being in the full blast of the steam he would certainly have been scalded to death before he could have reached the deck by any other means of access than the very speedy one he describes.\n\nPage 463\n\nMrs. Hennessy had intended holding an \"at home\" on the evening of the accident, but in consequence of the lamentable occurrence, this was postponed for a few days. An intended performance by the band of the 28th Regiment...",

        "content_text": "# AFT. No. 2 \n## Abstract of Proceedings\n\n200 \n### 1-SCIENTIFIC QUESTIONS\n\nThe first of the preliminary questions was as follows:-\"Le choléra \"Asiatique, susceptible de s'étendre (épidémique), ne se développe-t-il \"spontanément que dans l'Inde, et est-ce toujours du dehors qu'il \"arrive quand il éclate dans d'autres pays? Ou bien revêt-il aussi le \"caractère endémique dans d'autres pays que l'Inde? dans ce cas, quels \"sont ces pays ?\"\n\nOn the points involved in this question the Conference was in unanimous agreement with that of Constantinople, that epidemic cholera has its origin in India, and exists permanently there in an endemic state; that it is probably endemic only in India, though there are some countries bordering on India, concerning which sufficient grounds do not exist for a formal conclusion on this point; that it has never been observed in a really endemic state, (which of course must be carefully distinguished from an origin from secondary foci) either in any part of Europe, or in Turkey in Asia, or in the Caucasus, or in the north of Africa, or in America; and that, though the possibility of its becoming acclimatized in any of those countries is not to be rejected, such event is to be held as extremely problematical.*\n\nOn the second question, \"Le choléra est-il transmissible par l'homme ?\" some discussion took place, not in reference to the main question, in which the Conference was entirely in accord with that of Constantinople, but on an exception taken by the German delegates to the wording of one of the conclusions of the Constantinople Conference on the subject.† With certain qualifications to meet this view, and which recognised the influence of localities, the Conference accepted those conclusions, thereby affirming that cholera is transmissible by the human subject coming from an infected locality; that the rapidity of its transmission is in correspondence with the activity and rapidity of human communications; that the introduction of a single cholera patient may give rise to the development of an epidemic; and that there are facts which tend to prove that a single individual (and à fortiori several) coming from an infected place, and affected with diarrhea only, may be enough to give rise to the development of an epidemic of cholera, or, in other words, that the premonitory diarrhoea of cholera may be the means of transmitting the disease.†\n\nOn the points raised in the third question, \"Le choléra peut-il être \n* Throughout this abstract I have given in full the conclusions as voted by the Conference. They frequently go beyond a mere categorical reply to the questions asked, and sometimes contain qualifications of the conclusions stated in the final \"Relevé des Conclusions, &c.\" (Annex. III.) which should not be disregarded.\n†The phrase objected to was \"L'homme atteint de choléra est par lui-même le \"principal agent propagateur de cette maladie.\" And the objection taken by Professor Pettenkofer was particularly to the words \"par lui-même.\" The view of the German delegation was thus formulated by Professor Hirsch :-\"Je ne conteste \"nullement la transmissibilité du choléra par l'homme venant d'un milieu infecté ; \"je considère l'homme seulement comme la cause spécifique, en dehors de l'influence de la localité infectée; en outre, je le considère comme le propagateur du choléra, lorsqu'il vient d'un endroit où le germe de la maladie existe déjà.” \nIt is apparently by an error, which escaped observation at the time, in the Procès-verbaux, that the proposal of the German delegation is therein stated to have been formally adopted, and to the exclusion of the Constantinople resolutions. But the fact was that the discussion showed that there was nothing really to dispute about: the conference readily and at once recognized the influence of localities, and most certainly the resolutions of Constantinople, modified on this point only, as I have stated in the text, were adopted. I find this error in the Procès-verbaux and Relevé des Conclusions, has been since noticed by other Members of the Conference. (See Bull. de l'Acad. de Méd. 1874, p. 926.)\n\n207 \n### Art. No. 2. \n## Abstract of Proceedings\n\npropagé par des effets qui, provenant d'un lieu infecté, ont servi à l'usage, et spécialement par ceux qui ont appartenu à des cholériques ?\" the conclusions of the Constantinople Conference were unanimously accepted, viz., that cholera is transmissible by goods employed for personal use coming from an infected place, and especially by such as have been used by cholera patients; and that there are even facts which show that the disease may be conveyed to a distance by such goods, if they have been kept close and unexposed to free circulation of air.\n\nThe fourth question, \"Le choléra peut-il être propagé par des comestibles ?\" was one which had not been considered at Constantinople. This question it was decided after a short discussion to divide into two, the one having reference to food, and the other to drink, especially to drinkable water. To the first branch of the question, “Le choléra peut-\"il être propagé par les aliments?\" the answer given by a majority, after considerable discussion, was that the Conference having no conclusive facts of the transmission of cholera by food, was not in a position to give a formal decision on the point. To the second division of the question, \"Le choléra peut-il être propagé par des boissons, particulièrement par l'eau ?\" the reply was unanimously in the affirmative.\n\nOn the fifth question, \"Peut-il être importé par des animaux vivants?\" the conclusion arrived at by a majority, after some discussion, was that there exists no proof of the transmission of cholera from animals to mankind, but that the possibility of it may reasonably be admitted.\n\nOn the sixth question, \"Le choléra peut-il être importé par les marchandises?\" the conclusion of the Conference at Constantinople, that, while they were unanimous as to the absence of any proof of the transmission of cholera by merchandise, they must admit the possibility of such occurrence under certain conditions, was, after discussion, adopted by a majority. No vote was given against it, but several delegations abstained from voting. As is evident from the wording of the resolution, it was only as to the concluding phrase that there was any difference of opinion.\n\nOn the seventh question, \"Le choléra peut-il être propagé par les cadavres des cholériques ?\" the conclusion of the former Conference, that though there was no conclusive evidence of the transmission of cholera by the corpses of cholera patients, it was prudent to consider them as dangerous, was unanimously adopted.\n\nOn the eighth question, “Le choléra peut-il se propager au loin par l'atmosphère seule ?\" the Conference adopted, with equal unanimity, the conclusions of that of Constantinople, which were as follows: No fact up to the present time has shown that cholera can be propagated to a distance by the atmosphere alone, whatever the atmospheric conditions may be; and it is further a law, without exception, that no epidemic of cholera has ever been propagated from one point to another in a shorter time than was requisite for a human being to travel from the one point to the other. The surrounding air is the chief vehicle of the cholera-producing agent, but the transmission of the disease by the air is limited, in the immense majority of cases, to a distance very close to the source of infection. None of the facts which have been cited of transport of cholera by the atmosphere to the distance of one or of several miles is sufficiently conclusive.\n\nThe Conference assented also with unanimity to the answer which had been given at Constantinople to the ninth question, viz. \"L'air frais arrivant du dehors aux agents donnant naissance ou propageant le choléra, et les aérant, ou bien l'isolement de ces agents de l'air extérieur, constituent-ils des éléments ayant ou non une influence sur le caractère contagieux du choléra ?” This reply was to the effect that in fresh air \n\n331",

No. 2.\n\n## A Detract of Proceedings.\n\n208\n\nthe generative principle of cholera rapidly loses its morbific activity, b) that under special conditions of confinement of air such activity might be preserved for an undetermined time; that it was under these conditions of confinement of air that, (as already stated in reply to question 3), cholera might be transmitted even to a distance by goods employed for personal use; that great deserts were a very efficacious barrier against the propagation of cholera, and that there was no example of that disease having ever been imported either into Egypt or Syria across the desert by caravans coming from Mecca.\n\nThe two remaining preliminary questions of the programme gave rise to long and animated discussions.\n\nQuestion 10 was, \"Quand il y a contagion, quelle est la durée de l'incubation?\" The resolutions of the Constantinople Conference on this point had been as follows:-\"In almost all cases, the period of incubation, i.e., the time which elapses between the moment at which the individual receives the cholera infection and the commencement of the premonitory diarrhea, or of the confirmed cholera, does not exceed a few days [elsewhere more precisely limited by the words, 'a week at the outside.'] All facts which have been cited of a longer incubation relate to cases which are inconclusive, either because the premonitory diarrhea has been included in the period of incubation, or because the infection might have taken place after the person's departure from the infected locality. Observation shows that the duration of the choleraic diarrhoea which has been termed premonitory, (which must not be confounded with every diarrhoea met with at cholera times), does not exceed a few days. The facts which have been cited as exceptional do not prove that the cases of diarrhoea prolonged beyond this period are really choleric, and are susceptible of transmitting cholera when the individual suffering has been withdrawn from all sources of infection.\" After a very long debate, the Conference of Vienna assented to these conclusions by 13 affirmative votes to 1 negative, four delegations abstaining from voting.*\n\nThe 11th and last question was this: Connait-on des moyens ou des procédés de désinfection grâce auxquels le principe générateur ou contagieux du choléra peut sûrement ou avec quelque chance de succès être détruit ou perdre de son intensité ? Dans le cas affirmatif, quels sont ces moyens?\" A short preliminary discussion made it evident that it would be desirable to take separately the opinion of the Conference as to the existence of means of disinfection which might be relied on with certainty, or only of means for the probable success of which there was good evidence; to separate, in short, the \"sûrement\" from the \"quelque chance de succès.\" The known existence of any means of disinfection, absolutely certain in its operation, was denied by 12 delegations, and affirmed by none, seven delegations abstaining from voting.\n\n*The difference of opinion, at least between the delegations which voted in the affirmative and those which abstained from voting, was, I apprehend, more apparent than real. I did not gather from the discussion that it was at all disputed by the latter that in the immense majority of cases (perhaps the expression \"almost all\" might have been felt by them a little too strong) the period of incubation does not exceed the limits stated in the resolution. Their objection attached rather to the too small importance, which, in a prophylactic point of view, the resolution seemed to attach to the exceptional cases, of which the most reasonable explanation consisted in admitting a longer period of incubation. As Professor Fettenkofer put it, the question was to be regarded from a prophylactic not a clinical point of view; adding, that from the latter \"il accepterait la thèse d'une courte durée.” On the other hand, it was by no means intended, as the limiting word \"almost\" shows, by those who supported the resolution to deny the possible, nor the probable, existence of a longer period of incubation in some cases, nor that dangers might, though rarely, arise therefrom.\n\n209\n\n## APP. No. 2.\n\nOn the other hand, 14 delegations asserted, while four denied, the existence of means of disinfection, of the successful application of which there was reasonable probability. The vote on this latter question, however, must be interpreted by reference to a further discussion to which it gave rise, which showed that the objection on the part of the delegations which had voted in the negative, to admit the probable efficacy of disinfectants, had arisen chiefly, or at least in great part, from the influence they conceived an affirmative answer to the question would have in leading to a reliance being placed on disinfectants, to the prejudice of the precautions (which they deemed much more important) of simple hygiène. This had certainly been the furthest possible from the intention of those who had given the affirmative vote. A resolution, therefore, which should remove all ambiguity on this point was proposed, and unanimously adopted, as follows (I give the exact words of the resolution itself): \"La science ne connaît pas encore de moyens désinfectants certains et spécifiques; en conséquence, la Conférence reconnaît une grande valeur aux mesures hygiéniques, telles que aération, lotions profondes, nettoyage, &c., combinées avec l'emploi des substances regardées actuellement comme désinfectantes.\"\n\nNo attempt was made at the present stage of proceedings to specify the various means of disinfection (required by the last clause of the 11th question), the subject being held to belong in its details more properly to question 22 of the programme.†\n\nFour sittings of the Conference had been occupied with the determination of these preliminary questions. The conclusions arrived at were, it will have been seen, essentially in accord with those arrived at by the Conference of Constantinople. At the last of these sittings, the course to be adopted in considering the second part of the programme, the practical questions relating to Quarantine, was also discussed. It was determined that the questions relative to Land and River quarantines (questions 12-16) should be entertained in full Conference, but that the subject of Maritime Quarantine (questions 16-22) should, in the first instance, be referred to a committee, and discussed on the committee's report. It was further resolved that the questions relating to the establishment of an international sanitary commission (Part III of Programme) should also, in the first instance, be referred to a committee. And the committees for the respective purposes were nominated.‡\n\n## II-QUESTIONS OF QUARANTINE.\n\nThe mode in which the questions connected with Quarantine were submitted for the consideration of the Conference differed from that which had been taken with regard to the scientific questions.\n\n* In the Procès-verbaux, the votes are recorded as 13 affirmative to 1 negative; M. Schleisner's vote, which was affirmative, having been erroneously entered as negative.\n\n† In point of fact, no enumeration of disinfectant substances, or recommendation as to special means of disinfection, was ever made by the Conference. The committee on Maritime Quarantines (see postea) in the Réglement attached to their report, suggested certain means as applicable to ships, and to passengers by ship, their clothes, and effects, but on discussion, it was felt that the best course was to leave the choice of means of disinfection to the competent authority of each country.\n\n‡ The committee on Maritime Quarantines, as first nominated, consisted of Messrs. Hirsch (Germany), d'Albert-Gianstätten (Austria), De Ring (France), Polak (Persia), and Seaton (Great Britain); but MM. De Ring and Polak declining, for reasons stated by them respectively, were replaced by MM. Seramola (Italy), and Van Cappelle (Holland). The committee on the subject of an International Commission consisted of MM. Lenz (Russia), Catinelli (Hungary), Marcovitz (Roumania), Kierulf (Norway), and Polak (Persia).",

The Conference left the subject of providing for the expenses of the proposed commission to be settled diplomatically between the Governments concerned.\n\nIt concluded this part of its work by the expression of its earnest desire to see instituted in Persia an international Council of Health analogous to the Councils of Health which act with such advantage at Constantinople and at Alexandria.\n\nThe particular kinds of questions relative to cholera which the international commission, if appointed, might, in the first instance, advantageously take up were indicated by various delegates in the discussions, and were some of them detailed by Professor Pettenkofer in a note which will be found attached to the third part of the Relevé des Conclusions in Annex III. But this note, it must be distinctly understood, was only meant as a specimen of questions waiting for solution; and was not in the least intended as even a sketch of a complete plan of work for the commission to undertake. The determining the exact commencement of cholera in each locality, and the tracing exactly its progress and termination were considered among the first duties of the Commission; the regular and systematic study of the meteorological and telluric conditions of certain specified places was another; a more exact and analytical study than we have had at present of the breaking out of cholera on board ships was another; determination of the precise duration of the incubation of cholera, determination of the value of disinfectants, &c., were all among the specimen subjects.\n\n## IV.-QUARANTINE AGAINST OTHER DISEASES THAN CHOLERA.\n\nA short sitting was devoted to hearing several communications on yellow fever, but it was unanimously decided that this question should be reserved for the international sanitary commission which it was proposed to institute.\n\n(Copr.)\n\n## ANNEX I.\n\n### LETTER of COUNT ANDRÁSSY to the AUSTRIAN AMBASSADOR at the COURT OF ST. JAMES.\n\nMONSIEUR LE COMTE,\n\nVienne, le 3 Mai 1874.\n\nDepuis quelque temps déjà et de plusieurs côtés le désir s'est manifesté d'examiner de nouveau la question de savoir où et sous quelles conditions prennent naissance et s'étendent certaines épidémies qui, comme le choléra Asiatique, n'ont pas cessé, pendant les dernières années, de désoler le monde par leurs ravages, et d'entraver, par leurs perturbations, le développement des relations internationales. appuyé à cette occasion, sur la nécessité de faire généralement appliquer les remèdes les plus aptes pour préserver les populations contre les atteintes de ce fléau, et sur l'urgence d'étudier et de faire connaître de nouvelles mesures préventives et recommandées à cet effet par l'expérience. Le besoin s'est fait sentir, en même temps, de concerter entre les Etats intéressés des arrangements obligatoires qui auraient pour but d'amener une parfaite conformité dans les dispositions à prendre pour se prémunir contre ce danger commun, de concentrer et de raffermir par là les moyens de se protéger contre l'invasion de ces maladies, et \n\n219\n\nd'écarter aussi bien la confusion qui a envahi, peu-à-peu, le terrain des principes hygiéniques en vigueur par rapport à ces épidémies et aux barrières qu'on leur oppose, que de faire disparaître les causes qui ne portent que trop souvent le trouble dans les transactions commerciales.\n\nL'augmentation continuelle des relations commerciales entre les différents pays, et la variété des moyens de communication par lesquels le commerce est entretenu, prouvent tous les jours davantage l'utilité, voire même la nécessité, d'établir des règles identiques destinées à régir ces rapports, et de les sanctionner par des conventions internationales. De nombreuses expériences démontrent les avantages de pareils arrangements. Si le libre exercice de la souveraineté territoriale est limité, en quelque sorte, par les conventions de ce genre, il est incontestable que le profit que chaque état en retire l'emporte de beaucoup sur cet inconvénient, qui n'est qu'apparent. La pratique démontre aussi les grands désavantages qui résultent, par exemple, dans le domaine de l'hygiène publique, de la divergence des principes d'après lesquels on combat, dans l'un ou dans l'autre état, les épidémies générales se propageant de pays en pays sous la tutelle, pour ainsi dire, de ces principes. Cette vérité a dès 1866 été reconnue par les Gouvernements qui ont pris part à la Conférence Sanitaire Internationale réunie à Constantinople et à laquelle on avait assigné pour objet des questions semblables à celles que nous proposons de résoudre, et un but analogue à celui que nous voulons atteindre. Des hommes de la science sérieux et compétents n'ont pas hésité dans les délibérations de la dite Conférence, à proclamer les mêmes idées auxquelles nous nous sommes associés aujourd'hui. Les conclusions adoptées par cette Conférence renferment des conseils précieux qui ne sont peut-être affectés que d'un seul défaut, celui de n'avoir jamais été tous en pratique.\n\nIl s'agit, donc, aujourd'hui, dans cet ordre d'idées, de réviser, jusqu'à un certain point au moins, les délibérations engagées et les résolutions prises à ce sujet à Constantinople, de les vérifier et de les compléter par les idées et expériences acquises, et surtout, d'en assurer l'exécution, et d'arrêter à cet effet entre les Etats intéressés, une convention sanitaire internationale qui réponde à tous les besoins de la situation actuelle.\n\nNous avons cru ne pas devoir nous montrer indifférents à ces demandes renouvelées récemment encore et avec insistance, ainsi qu'en font foi les résolutions du troisième Congrès International de Médecine réuni en l'année passée. Guidés par ces considérations, nous nous sommes adressés aux Puissances intéressées, afin d'être informés si elles sont disposées à envoyer des délégués à une conférence sanitaire internationale, convoquée à Vienne, dans le but de délibérer et de décider sur certaines questions de réforme du service sanitaire international. Nous avons eu la satisfaction de pouvoir constater que l'initiative prise par nous à cet égard a été saluée de tout côté avec un vif empressement, et que nos propositions ont été accueillies favorablement par tous les Gouvernements auxquels nous nous étions adressés. Nous avons pensé devoir, dans ces circonstances, faciliter la tâche importante dévolue à la Conférence en faisant élaborer, par une Commission spéciale, un programme de ces travaux futurs, qui traçât dès à présent, sans limiter la liberté des appréciations et l'indépendance nécessaire de ses membres, le cadre des questions à traiter, et qui indiquât le but qu'on se propose d'atteindre. En prenant d'avance connaissance de ce programme, on sera mis en état de pouvoir faire soigneusement étudier ces questions, et il sera possible de munir les délégués d'instructions précises et assez étendues pour procéder plus tard en pleine connaissance de cause, aux délibérations et à la conclusion des arrangements internationaux.\n\n## APP, No. 2.\n\n## Abstract of Proceedings\n\n37844. \n\n337 \nPage 219",

Il y aura, dans chaque port ouvert au commerce, une autorité sanitaire composée de médecins et d'administrateurs, aidés par un personnel de service. Le nombre des membres de ces différentes catégories variera dans chaque port selon l'importance du mouvement maritime, mais il devra être suffisant pour pouvoir accomplir dans toutes les circonstances et avec rapidité les mesures exigées pour les navires, les équipages, et les passagers.\n\nLe chef de ce service sera toujours tenu au courant par des communications officielles de l'état sanitaire de tous les ports infectés de choléra.\n\n2. Les navires provenant d'un port net, n'ayant (d'après la déclaration, sous serment, du capitaine) touché dans leur voyage aucun port intermédiaire suspect, ni communiqué directement avec aucun navire suspect, et sur lesquels durant le voyage on n'aura constaté aucun cas suspect ou confirmé de choléra, auront la libre pratique.\n\n4. Les navires provenant d'un port suspect ou infecté et ceux provenant de ports non suspects, mais qui ont eu dans le voyage des relations intermédiaires compromettantes, ou sur lesquels il y a eu durant la traversée des cas suspects de maladie ou de mort de choléra, seront soumis dès leur arrivée à une visite médicale rigoureuse pour constater l'état sanitaire du bord.\n\n4. S'il résulte de la visite médicale qu'il n'existe parmi les hommes de l'équipage et les passagers aucun cas suspect de maladie ou de mort de choléra, le navire, avec tout ce qu'il renferme, sera admis à la libre pratique. Mais si des cas de choléra ou de nature suspecte se sont manifestés à bord durant la traversée, le navire, les vêtements et les effets à usage des gens de l'équipage et des passagers seront soumis d'abord à une désinfection rigoureuse, bien que l'équipage et les passagers aient été trouvés indemnes du choléra dans le port.\n\n5. S'il y a à l'arrivée des cas suspects de maladie ou de mort de choléra, les malades seront immédiatement transportés dans un lazaret ou dans un local isolé pouvant en tenir lieu et prêt à les recevoir; les cadavres seront jetés à la mer avec les précautions d'usage ou ensevelis après avoir été convenablement désinfectés; les passagers et l'équipage seront soumis à une désinfection rigoureuse, et le navire lui-même sera désinfecté, après qu'on en aura éloigné les passagers et la partie du personnel de l'équipage qui n'est pas nécessaire à la désinfection et à la surveillance.\n\nLes vêtements et les effets à usage des malades et même des passagers sains seront assujettis, dans un local spécial et sous le contrôle rigoureux de l'autorité sanitaire, à une radicale désinfection.\n\nAprès cette désinfection, les effets seront rendus aux passagers et aux personnes de l'équipage qui seront admis à libre pratique.\n\n6. Les marchandises débarquées seront admises à libre pratique, à l'exception des chiffons et autres objets susceptibles, que l'on devra soumettre à une radicale désinfection.\n\n## B. Système des Quarantaines, Provenances de Ports Infectés\n\n1°. Les provenances de ports infectés sont soumises à une observation variant de 1 à 7 jours pleins selon les cas, orientaux de l'Europe, et ailleurs dans certains cas exceptionnels. Dans les ports des Etats seulement, la durée de l'observation peut être portée à 10 jours.\n\n227 \n\n**AFP. No. 3**\n\n**Abstract of Proceedings**\n\n2°.

        "content_text": "## 410 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND SEPTEMBER, 1877.\n\nAn analysis of Table A in the Police returns dated the 31st of January, 1877, gives the following number of prison offences--out of all proportion to the increase of crime---indicates something radically wrong. An annual increase of 250 per cent in the number of prison offences is a serious and significant fact. Is it surprising, with such prima facie evidence of prison disorganization laid before him in the returns forwarded by my predecessor for the years 1874, 1875, and 1876, that Lord Carnarvon should instruct me to review the whole system of prison discipline in Hongkong?\n\n| Description | Number of cases | \n| --- | --- | \n| of Robbery from the person with violence, | 12 | \n| Number of cases of Burglary, | 28 | \n| Number of cases of Larceny. | 345 | \n| of Assaults and Disorderly Conduct. | 200 | \n\nFour months, from May to August, 1876, inclusive, \nFour months, from September to December, 1876, inclusive, \n\n|  | Four months, from May to August, 1876 | Four months, from September to December, 1876 | \n| --- | --- | --- | \n| Robbery from the person with violence | 9 | 18 | \n| Burglary | 24 | 51 | \n| Larceny | 374 | 288 | \n| Assaults and Disorderly Conduct | 288 | ... |\n\nThis return shows that the number of felonies committed in the four months preceding the unusual influx of passengers from Canton was four hundred and fifteen, whilst in the four months during which the reduced fares were in operation, the number of felonies was three hundred and nine.\n\nIn the returns laid before Lord Carnarvon are also given the exact number of cases brought before the Police Magistrates, and the number of prisoners convicted by them. You will perhaps be surprised to learn, as I was very much surprised to see it, that the number of prisoners brought before the Police Magistrates in 1876 amounted to 10,426, and the number of persons convicted and punished amounted to 7,998. These figures appear in returns dated Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 24th of February, 1877.\n\nHow is this to be accounted for?\n\nNow, gentlemen, with some small experience, I venture to assert that such an amount of crime, and such an extraordinary growth of prison offences as you have seen recorded in this Colony last year and preceding years is without precedent in any part of the British Empire with a population of only 140,000.\n\nThe system of prison discipline is the system by which crime should be stamped out. It is the great engine the Government is bound to use to repress crime and reduce the number of criminals; joined to efficiency in the administration of justice. With these two in proper working order, the crime which has been recorded before my arrival in the Colony should not have existed. How has the grave result come to pass? Well, I am myself slow to form a decision on this question, but it is manifest from the Secretary of State's despatches that he has been struck with some facts which it was impossible not to see. How could he shut his eyes to the authentic returns to which I have referred? But it is quite possible his Lordship may have noticed something more than those figures.\n\nIn the report of the Gaol Committee, the guiding principle upon which the prison was administered is laid down in these words: \"Owing to the peculiar circumstances of this Colony, and the fact that by far the larger proportion of the criminals confined in the gaol are Chinese, whose language is but little known to those who have charge of them, whose characters and dispositions are imperfectly understood, and of whose previous history and lives it is almost impossible to obtain any knowledge, any attempt to cultivate their higher faculties, and to improve their moral condition seems hopeless.\"\n\nGentlemen, that was a very grave sentence for the Committee to write. In every part of the British Empire, Her Majesty's Government have laid down what they believe to be sound principles of prison discipline. Over and over again it has been said that that system should consist of a due mixture of severe punishment with some attempt at reformation; that the moment you assume one of these to be hopeless and act on that assumption, you deviate from a well-established principle, and you are trying not a new, but a very old worn-out experiment; an experiment tried years ago, but never with success; on the contrary, with the same lamentable result that you have seen here.\n\n### SERIOUS OFFENCES.\n\n| Description | Number of Cases | \n| --- | --- | --- | \n|  | 1874 | 1875 | 1876 | \n| Murder, | 3 | 1 | 3* | \n| Robbery with Violence from the Person... | 15 | 13 | 24 | \n| Burglary or Larceny in a Dwelling House, | 107 | 65 | ... | \n| Assault with intent to rob, | 0 | 3 | ... | \n| Kidnapping, | 1 | 1 | ... | \n| Piracy, | 51 | 65 | A | \n| Unlawful Possession, | A | A | 203 | \n| Larcenies,. | 802 | 938 | 1,050 | \n| Felonies not already given,, | 261 | 239 | ... | \n| * Due case also given under Picks. |  |  |  |\n| Total,. | 1,163 | 1,395 | 1,485 | \n\nIt is a rule laid down over and over again by Secretaries of State, that when a man is sentenced to undergo, for example, eight years of penal servitude, he should undergo at least two-thirds of that punishment; that release from gaol must depend upon a man's steady good conduct in prison, and under no circumstances should he be released without undergoing two-thirds of his sentence.\n\nNow what has been the number of cases of serious offences in Hongkong in the years 1874, 1875, and 1876? In 1874, the total number of serious offences was 1,165; in 1875 this had risen to 1,395; and in 1876, it had risen to 1,485. Of what do these serious crimes consist? Of larcenies, there were 802 in 1874, 938 in 1875, and 1,059 in 1876. Of robbery with violence from the person, there were 15 cases in 1874, 13 in 1875, and 24 cases of that most serious offence in 1876.\n\nBut take offences against property or larcenies; what do I find here? In January last, no less than fifty prisoners are branded and deported to China from Hongkong, thirty-nine of them after having served one-third only of their legal sentences. Some were sentenced by my honourable and learned friend on the right (the Chief Justice) to eight years' penal servitude; others by my honourable friend on the left (the Hon. C. May) to three months imprisonment. They are all treated in the same way; and this curious fact is recorded on the books recorded in the very papers laid before the Executive that the prison conduct of one man is \"very bad,\" according to the Superintendent's report, and the next man's \"very good;\" another prisoner's conduct is recorded as \"indifferent,\" another as \"well conducted;\" some had been repeatedly punished for the worst class of prison offences, others had not a single bad record against them; yet all treated in the same way: with different sentences, but all sent out of the Colony after passing one-third of their sentence only in prison, quite irrespective of what their conduct in prison had been.\n\n| Year | Serious Crimes | Minor Offences |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1867 | 1,468 | 4,585 |\n| 1868 | 1,240 | 4,450 |\n| 1869 | 967 | 3,553 |\n| 1870 | 1,357 | 4,380 |\n| 1871 | 1,483 | 5,018 |\n| 1872 | 1,994 | 8,956 |\n| 1873 | 1,316 | 6,164 |\n| 1874 | 1,185 | 4,407 |\n| 1875 | 1,300 | 4,086 |\n| 1876 | 1,485 | 5,061 |\n\nAnnual average of serious crimes from the year 1867 to the year 1871, 1,303; annual average from 1872 to 1876, 1,351; annual number of offences of all kinds during the five years from 1867 to 1871, 5,718 as against 7,124 offences of all kinds committed during the five years from 1872 to 1876.\n\nMy honourable friend the Acting Colonial Treasurer and Senior Police Magistrate will understand me when I also assert that the system of repeated short sentences on old offenders is a bad system. I have had cases before me recommended for deportation in which it was not a case of a second, or third, or fourth, but a sixth or seventh offence by the same man. Cases come before me of this character: first offence, larceny, sentence one month's imprisonment with hard labour and to be flogged; second offence, larceny, punishment two months' hard labour and to be flogged; third offence, larceny again, with one month's imprisonment and to be flogged.",

The only case in which he interfered was that of Ip Ayow, a little boy who stole a look at the Reformatory and was told he would be flogged if he did not confess the theft, whereupon he confessed the theft and was sentenced to be flogged. The Governor declined to allow that part of the sentence to be carried out.\n\nOf the five prisoners sentenced to be publicly flogged with the cat on the back by Mr John Smale, the Governor allowed the first two to be so flogged, but on discovering the extent of the physical injury that had been inflicted, and on getting a report from the Colonial Surgeon against flogging Chinese on the back, he asked Sir John Smale to pass in future sentences of flogging in such a form as the Colonial Surgeon could certify might be carried out, that is with a rattan on the breech. Sir John declined to do this. Thereupon, Hennessy referred the next case to the Attorney General, to advise whether he could alter the sentence to meet the Colonial Surgeon's certificate, but the Attorney General said the Governor could not alter either the place (the back) or the instrument (the cat) specified by Sir John Smale, and that he could only exercise his prerogative of remitting the flogging in toto; and as no flogging can take place without the Colonial Surgeon's certificate, and as the Governor agreed with the Colonial Surgeon, the floggings on three of those sentenced by Sir John Smale had to be remitted.\n\nThe three prisoners sentenced to be flogged by the Acting Chief Justice Mr Snowden were duly flogged. In one of these cases a delay of some days occurred owing to the absence of the Colonial Surgeon's certificate when the papers were laid before the Governor, and this was explained by the fact that Mr Snowden had forgotten to specify that the flogging was to be with a rattan on the breech. On the papers being returned to him, he explained that it was by an oversight this was omitted, and thereupon the Colonial Surgeon appended his certificate, and the Governor allowed the flogging.\n\nOf the twenty-four flogging sentences passed by the Superintendent or Visiting Justices of the Gaol, Sir Hennessy allowed twenty-two to be carried out. One case he referred back to the Visiting Justices for their reconsideration, when they themselves withdrew the sentence of flogging on the ground that the prisoner had been ordered to do shot drill when on penal diet, which was a breach of rule and of the instructions from Her Majesty's Government; and one other case he investigated himself with the Visiting Justices and the Colonial Surgeon, when it was discovered that one of the arms of a prisoner who had objected to crank labour was quite withered from an old wound, the elbow joint and one finger permanently fixed, and that he had been just subjected to punishments in prison which the Attorney General reported were not lawful. In this case the prisoner was ordered to do another kind of hard labour such as the Colonial Surgeon could certify he was physically capable of doing, and, as he obeyed this order, the flogging was remitted.\n\nT. C. DEMPSTER, Acting Captain Superintendent.",

        "content_text": "that sentence should be pronounced forthwith.\n\nMr Russell believed that was the usual practice.\n\nHis Honor said he would sentence each prisoner separately on each count; he was determined no flaw in the procedure should lead to results arising in this case in carrying out the effect of this verdict, which should not happen.\n\n## THE PRISONERS' STATEMENTS\n\nThe prisoners being called upon to say whether they had any reason to show why sentence of death should not be passed upon them,\n\nAlli, the first prisoner, said—John forced me to go and kill the captain. I was afraid of John; therefore I went with him and three other men who ran away. Brahim and Ou were also concerned in the case. John also gave orders to beat the chief officer. When I went aft I saw the captain lying there quite dead. I heard John ask Hassan, Brahim and Ou where was the chief officer, and Hassan replied \"He is dead.\" John called out to all hands, \"Come let us carry the bodies of the officers,\" and all the hands on board threw the bodies overboard. John then took command of the ship.\n\nHassan, the second prisoner, said—I saw John, Brahim, and Ou kill the captain. After they had killed the captain Brahim killed the chief officer by stabbing him on the neck. Atai, Suliman, and Awat beat the second officer with irons on his head. He was then lying in his bunk. After all the officers were killed John gave orders to change the course. He then called all hands on board to go into the cabin and wash the blood. I went and washed the blood, and John asked me and others to go into the saloon and take coffee. After having my coffee I went to bed. When I went to bed John and Brahim went into the captain's cabin and overhauled all his property there. Brahim then gave me $35, and told me to keep it safe for them. He told me not to give it to anybody, and when we landed we would share it amongst ourselves. When we arrived at Bangkok we divided the money amongst ourselves, each getting $2.50.\n\nJohn, the third prisoner, said—It was not only myself who killed the captain, but all of us were engaged in it. Sudeen and Alli beat the chief officer on his head with irons. The chief officer ran out of his cabin, and they ran after him. When the chief officer ran out of his own cabin he ran into the other where we were. There Brahim and Ou cut him with a knife and killed him. Then Hassan, Atai, and Awat killed the second officer. After killing them they threw the bodies overboard. I did not assist in throwing the bodies away, because I was suffering from a sore on my arm. The captain did not give us sufficient food, and therefore we killed him. The ship was on a high sea, and there was a heavy rain. The captain would not allow us to go into the forecastle and he nailed the doors. The captain was always beating me, the other two prisoners, and the whole of us, because he said we did not know our work. All the crew complained to me that they could not stand the treatment of the captain, and Peter said \"Come let us kill the captain.\" Hassan (the second prisoner) undertook to do so. After they killed the captain and officers the others took possession of the ship and navigated the ship to Palawan. I know nothing of navigation. Peter took charge of the compass and looked after the man at the wheel. All hands on board were engaged in sailing the vessel. Peter went into the captain's cabin and brought out a watch. Brahim also went in and came out dressed just like the captain. Brahim had a small cast-box in his hand and asked Peter to open it; he had a number of keys. When the box was opened I saw $35, which was handed over to Hassan. Brahim took the revolver which we got on the captain's cabin. Alli and Ou took two swords, Atai who has run away took the other. The ship was then taken to Palawan. When we duly arrived and had anchored, Peter ordered the hole to be made in the ship, which was accordingly done and the ship sunk. The three boats were lowered down and we all got into them. We anchored near Palawan. We met a Bangkok boat which we followed. Peter asked where they belonged to and what sort of a place it was, and then we resolved to follow her.\n\nWe followed the boat and went into the Palawan river. A Bangkok man told me that if we took the Chinamen into Bangkok we would get into trouble. Alli, Brahim and Ou killed the carpenter. Hassan, Peter, and myself killed the cook. The boy in the boat was killed by Brahim and Ou. That is all I have to say.\n\nHis Lordship, having retired and assumed the black cap, addressing the prisoners by name, said—You have all three been convicted upon evidence which is as conclusive to my mind as evidence can be, of crimes the most dreadful which have been known here for some time. You have been convicted of the murder of the captain, and the first and second officers of your ship, and you have committed a piracy of a most outrageous kind, destroying that which you could not make use of and stealing some few things you wanted. It is useless for me to impress on your minds the enormity of the crimes. Their very enormity shows that all of you are completely dead to humanity and entirely blind to any sense of what is bad and wicked. That consideration must satisfy every thinking person that the severest penalty that can be inflicted must be inflicted for the protection of life and property at sea. You have been found guilty on the first count of the murder of William Francis Giese, the captain of your ship, and for that each of you must pay the penalty of his life. The sentence of the Court is that you Alli, Hassan and John, and each of you be taken to the place from whence you came and thence to the place of execution, and that you be executed at such time and place as His Excellency the Governor shall appoint, and that you be hung by the neck till you be dead, and that your bodies be buried in such place as His Excellency the Governor shall direct. His Lordship in the same formal manner passed sentence of death on each for the murder of the mate, then for the murder of the second mate; these were the second and third counts of the indictment. (A nolle prosequi was entered in the fourth count, to save the Court from the ridiculous position of sentencing to a term of imprisonment three men who will be hung at an early date.) John the third prisoner was formally sentenced to death on the fifth and again on the seventh count, the sixth count was abandoned as against all the prisoners. The prisoners did not seem in the slightest way concerned or troubled by their position, receiving the intelligence of the verdict and the interpretation of Judge's remarks with the utmost indifference.\n\nThe Court did not rise until about three a.m. and then adjourned till Thursday; the case had thus occupied the Court and jury 16 hours. His Honor thanked the jurors for the attention to the case for such a long period, and remarked that the Colony could not but be grateful for the self-sacrifice they had displayed, and the great willingness they had shown to fully hear and consider this important case.\n\nPage 13",

        "content_text": "4\n\n253\n\nsimply to register the conclusions of the Secretary of State, when proposals come before us with the authority of the Secretary of State involving the expenditure of public money; there should be a distinct understanding that every member of this Council, official or otherwise, should be allowed to vote according to his convictions. I must say in reading the correspondence laid before the Finance Committee it did appear to me this proposal for a grant of $6,000 to St. Joseph's College came before the Secretary of State with the approval of the executive Government of the colony. I would submit, sir, with reference to this, that I think it would be a very great relief to yourself from that delicate and flattering importunity with which I know our Roman Catholic friends are so apt to make their proposals, publicly and privately, if you were to refer all such applications in the first instance to the members of the Council. As regards the merits of the application itself, I am not prepared to offer any objection to the original vote of $5,000, set apart I believe by the Educational Department of the Government under the grant-in-aid system, but I do see great reason to object to the extra vote of $1,000 added with the approval of the Secretary of State. Nothing, so far as I can see, in the letter of Bishop Raimondi to the Secretary of State justifies this increase in the grant. He is pleading on behalf of a wealthy corporation and cannot say he requires this money from any want of funds. When I say I do not object to this vote because it is proposed under the grant-in-aid system I wish to guard myself against expressing any opinion on that system. I consider grants-in-aid to denominational schools are all very well so long as the educational test to be applied as the qualification for the grant has to be settled by the representatives of the ratepayers, who are supposed to be benefited by the grant, but it is a very different thing when that educational test is settled by what appears to me to be something in the nature of a concordat between the Governor of the Colony and an ecclesiastical hierarchy. I should like to ask my hon. friend opposite (Dr. Stewart), who probably knows more about education in the colony than any other person, whether he is sure the large Portuguese community, who are the supposed beneficiaries of this grant, are entirely satisfied with the character of the education they receive from such institutions as St. Joseph's College. In putting this question I am not actuated by any desire to bring about a discussion on grants-in-aid, but I wish to show good cause why every grant of public money in this colony should be made the subject of full and free discussion on the part of every member of this Council. I know, sir, you have said over and over again that you see desirous the representatives of the ratepayers should have control of the moneys derived from taxation, and I hope you will be able to give the Council some assurance to-day that in making votes of public funds it shall always be done after free discussion in this Council, and not under the dictation of some authority superior to us.\n\nThe COLONIAL SECRETARY—Sir, I was not in the colony when the meeting of the Finance Committee was held at which the discussion of this vote took place; otherwise I should have been able to explain to my hon. friend the reasons which induced me when I was Acting Administrator of the Government last year to refer to the Secretary of State instead of the Council in the first place the application I received from the managers of this school. That reason is to be found in a dispatch of the Secretary of State of 10th November, 1879, on the subject of education, which had occupied the attention of the Colonial Office for some considerable time. As this dispatch has not been published I think it might be well to read two or three extracts for the information of my hon. friend—\n\nThe expenditure upon education from public funds is considerable, but the whole ground is far from covered, and for this reason if for no other it is essential both to maintain the existing agencies (i.e., the Central School and the remainder of the Government system) and also as far as possible to encourage voluntary effort.\n\nThe other extract is this:—\n\nI desire also that all grants proposed to be made in aid of other than Government schools may be submitted to the Secretary of State for approval before any promise is made.\n\nI thought it my duty, under the instructions contained in this dispatch, to refer to the Secretary of State the application received from the managers of the new school. The application for a grant-in-aid, which was for $14,400, I accordingly referred to the Secretary of State with all information necessary on the subject, and in reply he said he had no objection to grant $5,000; but on a further application by Bishop Raimondi to your Excellency, your Excellency in Council decided it was desirable to increase the vote to $6,000. I see no objection at all to the adoption in future of the course advocated by the hon. member of laying all votes and applications before the Council before they are sent to the Secretary of State, especially as we shall soon have a larger number of unofficial members. I think there is no objection at all to that.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY—None at all. I entirely agree with the hon. member that the standing orders in force to regulate the proceedings of the Legislatures in other Crown Colonies should be introduced also in Hongkong, and that all votes of public money should be for the future considered in the first instance in the reconstituted Legislative Council.\n\nHon. F. STEWART—I am not in a position to answer the question put to me by the hon. member (Mr. Johnson). St. Joseph's College was begun after I had finished my work in the Educational Department, and I have had no opportunity of finding out what the opinion of the Portuguese community may be with regard to the education given at St. Joseph's College.\n\nThe motion for the approval of the votes was then put and carried nem. con.\n\nNATURALISATION.\n\nBills for the naturalisation of Lai Fong, Wong Shing, H. J. Rodrigues, and J. A. Carvalho, were, on the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, seconded by the COLONIAL SECRETARY, read a first time.\n\nPIER AND WHARF CONSTRUCTION BILL (PRIVATE BILL).\n\nHon. F. B. JOHNSON—Sir, I ask leave to introduce and read a first time an Ordinance to authorise myself, as representing my firm, to construct certain piers and wharves in the harbour of Victoria.\n\nHon. P. RYRIE—I have great pleasure in seconding.\n\nThe Bill was read a first time.\n\nTRAMWAYS AMENDMENT ORDINANCE.\n\nOn the motion of the Hon. F. B. JOHNSON, seconded by the Hon. P. RYRIE, a Bill for the amendment of the Tramways Ordinance, 1883, was read a first time.\n\nA QUESTION OF ORDER.\n\nHon. F. B. JOHNSON said he had given notice to the clerk of Councils of his intention to introduce an Ordinance, and to ask that it be read a first time, to enable Mr. C. P. Chater to construct piers and wharves in the harbour.\n\nIt appeared the notice had been sent to the clerk only the previous day, and a long discussion ensued as to whether under the standing orders the motion could be made at the present meeting.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said he intended to call a meeting of the Council next week, and, further, that one of the first steps he would take in the reconstituted Council would be to appoint a committee to revise the standing orders and to bring them into conformity with those prevailing in other colonies. He asked Mr. Johnson if the Bill could wait for a few days and be read at the next meeting.\n\nIcept, of course, in cases of urgency or of special instructions, H.M's. Government, from H. Mon:",

Sinon, il communique autant que possible, l'avis à l'expéditeur, chaque Office ayant la faculté de frapper cette communication d'une taxe spéciale qui ne peut dépasser un demi-franc. L'expéditeur ne peut compléter, rectifier ou confirmer l'adresse, que par un télégramme payé.\n\n6. Si, par suite d'adresse inexacte ou insuffisante, d'absence ou de refus du destinataire, des frais d'exprès n'ont pas été acquittés à l'arrivée, le montant de ces frais est indiqué dans l'avis, afin que l'expéditeur puisse être requis de les rembourser.\n\n7. Si la porte n'est pas ouverte à l'adresse indiquée ou si le porteur ne trouve personne qui consente à recevoir le télégramme pour le destinataire, avis est laissé au domicile indiqué et le télégramme est rapporté au bureau, pour être délivré au destinataire sur sa réclamation.\n\n8. Lorsque le télégramme est adressé bureau restant, il n'est délivré qu'au destinataire ou à son délégué.\n\n9. Dans les cas prévus par les paragraphes 7 et 8 du présent article, tout télégramme qui n'a pas été réclamé au bout de six semaines, est anéanti.\n\n9. Télégrammes spéciaux.\n\nArticle 9 de la Convention.\n\nLes Hautes Parties contractantes s'engagent à faire jouir tout expéditeur des différentes combinaisons arrêtées de concert par les Administrations télégraphiques des Etats contractants, en vue de donner plus de garanties et de facilités à la transmission et à la remise des correspondances.\n\nElles s'engagent également à le mettre à même de profiter des dispositions prises et notifiées par l'un quelconque des autres Etats, pour l'emploi de moyens spéciaux de transmission ou de remise.\n\na. Télégrammes privés urgents.\n\nXLV.\n\n1. L'expéditeur d'un télégramme privé peut obtenir la priorité de transmission en inscrivant le mot urgent avant l'adresse et en payant le triple de la taxe d'un télégramme ordinaire de même longueur pour le même parcours.\n\n2. Les télégrammes privés urgents ont la priorité sur les autres télégrammes privés et leur priorité entre eux est réglée dans les conditions prévues par le paragraphe 2 de l'article XXX.\n\n3. Les dispositions des paragraphes précédents ne sont pas obligatoires pour les Administrations qui déclarent ne pas pouvoir les appliquer, soit à une partie, soit à la totalité des télégrammes qui empruntent leurs lignes.\n\n4. Les Administrations qui n'acceptent les télégrammes urgents qu'en transit, doivent les admettre, soit sur les fils où la transmission est directe à travers leurs territoires, soit dans leurs bureaux de réexpédition, entre les télégrammes de même provenance et de même destination. La taxe de transit qui leur revient est triplée comme pour les autres parties du trajet.\n\nb. Réponses payées. XLVI.\n\n1. Tout expéditeur peut affranchir la réponse qu'il demande à son correspondant; toutefois l'affranchissement ne peut dépasser la taxe d'un télégramme ordinaire de 30 mots pour le même parcours.\n\n2. Si l'expéditeur n'a pas indiqué le nombre de mots payés pour la réponse, il est perçu la taxe d'un télégramme ordinaire de dix mots, transmis par la même voie.\n\n3. Dans le cas contraire, l'expéditeur doit compléter la mention Réponse payée ou RP par l'indication du nombre de mots payés pour la réponse et acquitter la somme correspondante, dans les limites autorisées par le paragraphe 1er du présent article.\n\nXLVII.\n\n1. Au lieu de destination, le bureau d'arrivée remet au destinataire un bon qui lui donne la faculté d'expédier gratuitement et dans les limites de la taxe payée d'avance, un télégramme à une destination quelconque. Ce bon n'est valable que pendant six semaines, à dater du jour où il a été établi. Passé ce délai il est considéré comme nul et non avenu et la taxe perçue acquise à l'Office qui l'a délivré.\n\n2. La somme versée pour la réponse peut être remboursée à l'expéditeur, lorsque le destinataire n'a pas fait usage du bon.\n\n3. A cet effet, le destinataire doit, avant l'expiration du délai de six semaines fixé par le paragraphe 1er du présent article, déposer le bon au bureau qui l'a délivré, en l'accompagnant d'une demande de remboursement au profit de l'expéditeur.\n\n4. Il est procédé alors comme en matière de remboursement de taxe.\n\n5. Si le destinataire refuse la formule affectée à la réponse, le bureau d'arrivée en informe immédiatement l'expéditeur par un avis de service, tenant lieu de réponse.\n\n6. Cet avis de service est émis, comme télégramme privé, dans la forme suivante: Réponse à No.... de.... Le destinataire a refusé.\n\n7. Lorsque le télégramme ne peut être remis dès l'arrivée, dans les circonstances prévues par le paragraphe 3 de l'article XLIV, un avis de service est transmis dans la forme prescrite par ce paragraphe.\n\n8. S'il n'y a pas de rectification, la réponse d'office est émise, dans la même forme que ci-dessus, au bout de huit jours ou même dans un délai plus rapproché, lorsque les recherches faites pour trouver le destinataire sont restées infructueuses.\n\nXLVIII.\n\n1. Les dispositions des deux articles précédents ne sont pas obligatoires pour les Offices extra-européens qui déclarent ne point pouvoir les appliquer.\n\n2. Dans les relations avec ces Offices, la taxe déposée pour la réponse est portée en compte à l'Office d'arrivée qui adopte tel moyen qu'il juge convenable pour mettre le destinataire en mesure d'en profiter.\n\nc. Télégrammes collationnés.\n\nXLIX.\n\n1. L'expéditeur de tout télégramme a la faculté d'en demander le collationnement. Dans ce cas, les divers bureaux qui concourent à la transmission, en donnent le collationnement intégral.\n\n2. Ce collationnement est donné, à tous les appareils, par le bureau qui a reçu et immédiatement après la transmission du télégramme à collationner.\n\n3. La taxe du collationnement est égale à la moitié de celle d'un télégramme ordinaire de même longueur pour le même parcours.\n\nd. Accusés de réception.\n\nL.\n\n1. L'expéditeur de tout télégramme peut demander que l'indication de l'heure à laquelle son télégramme sera remis à son correspondant, lui soit notifiée par télégraphe aussitôt après la remise.\n\n2. La taxe de l'accusé de réception est égale à celle d'un télégramme ordinaire de dix mots par la même voie.\n\nLI.\n\n1. L'accusé de réception est annoncé par l'abréviation CR et transmis dans la forme suivante: CR. Paris de Berne. Télégramme No... remis à... (adresse du destinataire) le... (date, heure et minute), (ou motif de non-remise).\n\n19\n\n2. Les accusés de réception reçoivent un numéro d'ordre au bureau qui les envoie. Ils jouissent de la priorité sur les télégrammes privés.\n\n3. Dans le cas prévu par le paragraphe 3 de l'article XLIV, l'accusé de réception est précédé de l'avis de service prescrit par ce paragraphe. L'accusé de réception est transmis ensuite, soit après la remise du télégramme, si elle est devenue possible, soit après vingt-quatre heures, si elle n'a pu avoir lieu.\n\ne. Télégrammes à faire suivre.\n\nLII.\n\n1. Tout expéditeur peut demander, en inscrivant avant l'adresse les indications nécessaires, que le bureau d'arrivée fasse suivre son télégramme dans les limites de l'Europe.\n\n2. Lorsqu'un télégramme porte la mention faire suivre, sans autre indication, le bureau de destination, après l'avoir présenté à l'adresse indiquée, le réexpédie immédiatement, s'il y a lieu, à la nouvelle adresse qui lui est désignée au domicile du destinataire.\n\n3. Si aucune indication ne lui est fournie, il garde le télégramme en dépôt, en observant les dispositions des paragraphes 3 et 7 de l'article XLIV. Si le télégramme est réexpédié et que le second bureau ne trouve pas le destinataire à l'adresse nouvelle, le télégramme est conservé par ce bureau.\n\n4. Si la mention faire suivre est accompagnée d'adresses successives, le télégramme est successivement transmis à chacune des destinations indiquées jusqu'à la dernière, s'il y a lieu, et le dernier bureau se conforme aux dispositions du paragraphe précédent.\n\n5. Le texte primitif du télégramme à faire suivre doit être intégralement transmis aux bureaux de destination successifs et reproduit sur la copie adressée au destinataire; mais, dans le préambule, chaque bureau ne reproduit, après les mots faire suivre, que les adresses auxquelles le télégramme peut encore être expédié.\n\n6. La taxe internationale à percevoir au départ pour les télégrammes à faire suivre est simplement la taxe afférente au premier parcours, l'adresse complète entrant dans le nombre des mots. La taxe complémentaire est perçue sur le destinataire.\n\n7. A partir du premier bureau indiqué dans l'adresse, les taxes à percevoir sur le destinataire, pour les parcours ultérieurs, doivent, à chaque réexpédition, être indiquées d'office dans le préambule.\n\n8. Cette indication est formulée comme il suit: Taxes à percevoir ... francs... centimes. Si les réexpéditions ont lieu dans les limites de l'Etat auquel ...\n\n84",

Télégrammes de service.\n\nArticle 5 de la Convention.\n\nLes télégrammes sont classés en trois catégories: 10 Télégrammes d'Etat: ceux qui, etc.\n\n20 Télégrammes de service: ceux qui émanent des Administrations télégraphiques des Etats contractants et qui sont relatifs soit au service de la télégraphie internationale, soit à des objets d'intérêt public déterminés de concert par les dites Administrations.\n\nArticle 11 de la Convention.\n\nLes télégrammes relatifs au service des télégraphes internationaux des Etats contractants sont transmis en franchise sur tout le réseau des dits Etats.\n\nLXI.\n\n1. Les télégrammes de service se distinguent en télégrammes de service proprement dits dont la forme est donnée par le paragraphe 1er de l'article XIV et en avis de service dont il est traité au paragraphe 2 du même article.\n\n2. Les télégrammes de service doivent être limités aux cas qui présentent un caractère d'urgence (Art. XVIII).\n\n3. Ils peuvent être émis en langage secret dans toutes les relations (Art. 6 de la Convention) et doivent, en règle générale, être rédigés en français (Article VII, § 3).\n\nLXII.\n\n1. Les avis de service sont échangés, de bureau à bureau, toutes les fois que les incidents de la transmission le nécessitent, notamment, lorsque les indications de service d'un télégramme déjà transmis ne sont pas régulières (Art. XXXII, § 4), lors de rectifications ou de renseignements relatifs à des télégrammes d'une série précédemment transmise (Art. XXXVII, §§ 1 et 2), en cas d'interruption dans les communications télégraphiques, lorsque les télégrammes ont été adressés par poste à un bureau télégraphique (Art. XL), lorsqu'un télégramme ne peut pas être remis au destinataire (Art. XLIV), lorsque le bâtiment auquel est destiné un télégramme sémaphorique n'est pas arrivé dans le terme de 28 jours (Art. LIX, § 4).\n\n2. Les avis de service relatifs à un télégramme précédemment transmis sont dirigés, autant que possible, sur les bureaux par où le télégramme primitif a transité. Ces avis doivent reproduire toutes les indications propres à faciliter les recherches des télégrammes primitifs, telles que la date de l'expédition, l'adresse et la signature de ces télégrammes.\n\n3. Lorsque les bureaux de passage ont tous les éléments nécessaires pour donner suite aux avis de service, ils prennent les mesures propres à en éviter une réexpédition inutile.\n\n11. Archives.\n\nLXIII.\n\n1. Les originaux des télégrammes et les documents y relatifs, retenus par les Administrations, sont conservés au moins pendant six mois, à compter de leur date, avec toutes les précautions nécessaires au point de vue du secret.\n\n2. Ce délai est porté à dix-huit mois pour les télégrammes extra-européens.\n\nLXIV.\n\n1. Les originaux ou les copies des télégrammes ne peuvent être communiqués qu'à l'expéditeur ou au destinataire, après constatation de son identité, ou bien au fondé de pouvoirs de l'un d'eux.\n\n2. L'expéditeur et le destinataire d'un télégramme ou leurs fondés de pouvoirs ont le droit de se faire délivrer des copies certifiées conformes de ce télégramme ou de la copie remise à l'arrivée, si cette copie a été conservée par l'Office de destination. Ce droit expire après le délai fixé pour la conservation des archives.\n\n3. Il est perçu, pour toute copie délivrée conformément au présent article, un droit fixe d'un demi-franc par télégramme ne dépassant pas cent mots. Au-delà de cent mots, ce droit est augmenté d'un demi-franc par série ou fraction de série de cent mots.\n\n4. Les Administrations télégraphiques ne sont tenues de donner communication ou copie des pièces désignées ci-dessus, que si les expéditeurs, les destinataires ou leurs ayants-droit fournissent les indications nécessaires pour trouver les télégrammes auxquels se rapportent leurs demandes.\n\n12. Détaxes et remboursements.\n\nLXV.\n\n1. Est remboursée à l'expéditeur par l'Administration qui l'a perçue, sauf recours contre les autres Administrations, s'il y a lieu:\n\na. la taxe intégrale de tout télégramme qui a éprouvé un retard notable ou qui n'est pas parvenu à destination, par le fait du service télégraphique; b. la taxe intégrale de tout télégramme collationné qui, par suite d'erreurs de transmission, n'a pu manifestement remplir son objet.\n\n2. En cas d'interruption d'une ligne sous-marine, l'expéditeur de tout télégramme a droit au remboursement de la partie de la taxe afférente au parcours non effectué, déduction faite des frais déboursés, le cas échéant, pour remplacer la voie télégraphique par un mode de transport quelconque.\n\n3. Ces dispositions ne sont pas applicables aux télégrammes empruntant les lignes d'un Office non-adhérent qui refuserait de se soumettre à l'obligation du remboursement.\n\n4. Dans les cas prévus par les paragraphes précédents, le remboursement ne peut s'appliquer qu'aux taxes des télégrammes mêmes qui ont été omis, retardés ou dénaturés, y compris les taxes accessoires, et aux taxes des télégrammes prévus à l'article XIX, mais non aux correspondances qui auraient été motivées ou rendues inutiles par l'omission, l'erreur ou le retard.\n\nLXVI.\n\n1. Toute réclamation en remboursement de taxe doit être formée, sous peine de déchéance, dans les deux mois de la perception. Ce délai est porté à six mois pour les télégrammes extra-européens.\n\n2. Toute réclamation doit être présentée à l'Office d'origine et être accompagnée des pièces probantes, savoir une déclaration écrite du bureau de destination ou du destinataire, si le télégramme n'est point parvenu, et la copie qui lui a été remise, s'il s'agit d'erreur ou de retard. Toutefois, la réclamation peut être présentée par le destinataire à l'Office de destination qui juge s'il doit y donner suite ou la faire présenter à l'Office d'origine.\n\n3. Lorsqu'une réclamation a été reconnue fondée par les Administrations intéressées, le remboursement est effectué par l'Office d'origine.\n\n4. L'expéditeur qui ne réside pas dans le pays où il a déposé son télégramme, peut faire présenter sa réclamation à l'Office d'origine, par l'intermédiaire d'un autre Office. Dans ce cas, l'Office qui l'a reçue est, s'il y a lieu, chargé d'effectuer le remboursement.\n\n5. Les réclamations communiquées d'Office à Office sont transmises avec un dossier complet, c'est-à-dire qu'elles contiennent (en original, en extrait ou en copie) toutes les pièces ou lettres qui les concernent. Ces pièces doivent être analysées en français, lorsqu'elles ne sont pas rédigées dans cette langue ou dans une langue comprise de tous les Offices intéressés.\n\n6. Les réclamations ne sont point transmises d'Office à Office:\n\na. lorsque le fait signalé ne donne point droit au remboursement;\n\nb. lorsqu'il s'agit d'un télégramme qui, n'étant pas conforme aux conditions réglementaires imposées au public, en ce qui concerne la rédaction, la langue, la clarté de l'écriture, l'adresse et les indications relatives au transport au-delà des lignes, etc., a été accepté aux risques et périls des intéressés.\n\nLXVII.\n\n1. Pour tout télégramme non remis à destination, le remboursement est supporté par les Offices sur les lignes desquels ont été commises les irrégularités qui ont empêché le télégramme de parvenir au destinataire.\n\n2. Si la réclamation de non-remise est repoussée, la remise du télégramme doit être constatée par un reçu ou par une déclaration de l'Administration destinataire.\n\n3. En cas de retard, le droit au remboursement est absolu, lorsque le télégramme n'est point arrivé à destination plus tôt qu'il n'y serait parvenu par la poste ou lorsque le retard dépasse deux fois vingt-quatre heures pour un télégramme européen et six fois vingt-quatre heures pour un télégramme sortant des limites de l'Europe.\n\n4. Le remboursement intégral de la taxe est effectué aux frais des Offices par le fait desquels le retard s'est produit et dans la proportion des retards imputables à chaque Office.\n\n5. En cas d'altération d'un télégramme collationné, l'Office d'origine détermine les erreurs qui ont empêché le télégramme de remplir son objet, et la part contributive des diverses Administrations est réglée d'après le nombre des fautes ainsi déterminées, un mot omis ou ajouté comptant pour une erreur.\n\n6. La part contributive pour l'altération d'un mot dénaturé successivement sur les lignes de plusieurs Administrations, est supportée par la première de ces Administrations.\n\n7. Les erreurs ou omissions sont imputables:\n\na. aux deux bureaux: lorsque des mots, nombres ou caractères ayant été omis ou ajoutés, le bureau qui a reçu n'a pas vérifié le compte des mots; lorsque le collationnement payé a été omis ou incomplet; lorsqu'à l'appareil Hughes, il y a eu un défaut non rectifié;\n\nb. au bureau qui a reçu: lorsqu'il n'a pas tenu compte de la rectification faite à son collationnement.\n\n23\n\nPage 90\n\nPage 91",

Lorsque, par suite de l'absence ou de l'insuffisance des documents, le bureau responsable d'une erreur ou omission ne peut être désigné, le remboursement est mis à la charge de l'Administration où la preuve fait défaut.\n\n10. Lorsqu'une réclamation a été présentée et mise en circulation dans les délais fixés par le paragraphe 1er de l'article LXVI et que la solution n'a point été notifiée dans les délais fixés par l'article LXIII pour la conservation des archives, l'Office qui a reçu la réclamation, rembourse la taxe réclamée et le remboursement est mis à la charge de l'Administration qui a retardé l'instruction.\n\n11. Pour les correspondances extra-européennes, le remboursement est supporté par les différentes Administrations d'Etat ou de Compagnies privées par les lignes desquelles le télégramme a été transmis, chaque Administration abandonnant sa part de taxe.\n\nLXVIII\n\n1. La taxe d'un télégramme arrêté en vertu des articles 7 et 8 de la Convention est remboursée à l'expéditeur, s'il en fait la demande, et le remboursement est à la charge de l'Administration qui a arrêté le télégramme.\n\n2. Toutefois, lorsque cette Administration a notifié, conformément à l'article 8, la suspension de certaines correspondances déterminées, le remboursement des taxes des télégrammes de cette catégorie qui seraient arrêtés ultérieurement, doit être supporté par l'Office d'origine, à partir de la date à laquelle la notification lui est parvenue.\n\n13. Comptabilité.\n\nArticle 12 de la Convention. Les Hautes Parties contractantes se doivent réciproquement compte des taxes perçues par chacune d'elles.\n\nLXIX.\n\n1. Le franc sert d'unité monétaire dans l'établissement des comptes internationaux.\n\n2. Chaque Etat crédite l'Etat limitrophe du montant des taxes de tous les télégrammes qu'il lui a transmis, calculées depuis la frontière de ces deux Etats jusqu'à destination.\n\n3. Par exception à la disposition précédente, l'Etat qui transmet un télégramme sémaphorique venant de la mer ou qui réexpédie un télégramme à faire suivre, débite l'Etat limitrophe de la part de taxe afférente au parcours entre le point de départ du télégramme sémaphorique ou le point de départ de la première réexpédition du télégramme à faire suivre et la frontière commune des deux Etats (Art. LII, §§ 6 à 9 et LVIII, § 6).\n\n4. Les taxes terminales peuvent être liquidées directement entre Etats extrêmes, après une entente entre ces Etats et les Etats intermédiaires.\n\n5. Les taxes peuvent être réglées de commun accord, d'après le nombre des télégrammes qui ont franchi la frontière, abstraction faite du nombre des mots et des frais accessoires. Dans ce cas, les parts de l'Etat limitrophe et de chacun des Etats suivants, s'il y a lieu, sont déterminées par des moyennes établies contradictoirement (Art. LXXI, § 3).\n\n6. Dans le cas d'application de l'article LXXXII, l'Administration contractante en relation directe avec l'Office non adhérent est chargée de régler les comptes entre cet Office et les autres Offices contractants auxquels elle a servi d'intermédiaire pour la transmission.\n\nLXX.\n\n1. Les taxes afférentes aux droits de copie et de transport au delà des lignes, sont dévolues à l'Etat qui a délivré les copies ou effectué le transport.\n\n2. Les taxes normales pour réponses payées et accusés de réception sont acquises à l'Office destinataire, soit dans les comptes, soit dans l'établissement des moyennes mentionnées au paragraphe 5 de l'article précédent. Toutefois, lorsque le remboursement de la taxe de la réponse a été effectué, conformément aux paragraphes 2, 3 et 4 de l'article XLVII, la taxe normale est déduite du compte mensuel suivant de l'Office expéditeur qui a remboursé.\n\n3. Les réponses et les accusés de réception sont traités, dans la transmission et dans les comptes, comme des télégrammes ordinaires.\n\n4. Lorsqu'un télégramme, quel qu'il soit, a été transmis par une voie différente de celle qui a servi de base à la taxe, la différence de taxe est supportée par l'Office qui a détourné le télégramme, sauf recours contre l'Office à qui ce détournement est imputable.\n\nLXXI.\n\n1. La taxe qui sert de base à la répartition entre Etats et, le cas échéant, à la détermination des moyennes mentionnées au paragraphe 5 de l'article LXIX, est celle qui résulte de l'application régulière des tarifs établis entre les Etats intéressés, sans qu'il soit tenu compte des erreurs de taxation qui ont pu se produire.\n\n2. Toutefois, le nombre de mots annoncé par le bureau d'origine sert de base à l'application de la taxe, sauf le cas où, à cause d'une erreur de transmission, il aurait été rectifié d'un commun accord entre le bureau d'origine et le bureau correspondant.\n\n3. Pour déterminer les taxes moyennes, on dresse un compte mensuel comprenant, par télégramme traité individuellement, toutes les taxes accessoires de quelque nature qu'elles soient (Art. LXX). La part totale, calculée pour chaque Etat pendant le mois entier, est divisée par le nombre des télégrammes; le quotient constitue la taxe moyenne applicable à chaque télégramme dans les comptes ultérieurs, jusqu'à revision. Cette revision, sauf circonstances exceptionnelles, ne doit pas être faite avant une année.\n\nLXXII.\n\n1. Le règlement réciproque des comptes a lieu à l'expiration de chaque mois.\n\n2. Le décompte et la liquidation du solde se font à la fin de chaque trimestre.\n\n3. Le solde résultant de la liquidation est payé à l'Etat créditeur en francs d'or effectifs, à moins que les deux Administrations en cause ne se soient entendues pour l'emploi d'une autre monnaie.\n\n4. Les frais de déplacement sont à la charge de l'Office créditeur.\n\nLXXIII.\n\n1. L'échange des comptes mensuels a lieu avant l'expiration du trimestre qui suit le mois auquel ils se rapportent.\n\n2. La revision de ces comptes a lieu dans un délai maximum de six mois à dater de leur envoi. L'Office qui n'a reçu, dans cet intervalle, aucune observation rectificative, considère le compte comme admis de plein droit. Cette disposition est aussi applicable aux observations faites par un Office sur les comptes rédigés par un autre.\n\n3. Les comptes mensuels sont admis sans revision, quand la différence des sommes finales établies par les deux Administrations intéressées ne dépasse pas 1% du débit de l'Administration qui l'a établie. Dans le cas d'une revision commencée, elle doit être arrêtée, lorsque, par suite d'un échange d'observations entre les Offices intéressés, la différence qui a donné lieu à la revision se trouve renfermée dans les limites de 1%.\n\n4. Il n'est pas admis de réclamation, dans les comptes, au sujet de télégrammes ordinaires ayant plus de six mois de date et de télégrammes extra-européens ayant plus de dix-huit mois de date.\n\n14. Réserves.\n\nArticle 17 de la Convention.\n\nLes Hautes Parties contractantes se réservent respectivement le droit de prendre séparément, entre elles, des arrangements particuliers de toute nature sur les points du service qui n'intéressent pas la généralité des Etats.\n\nLXXIV.\n\nLes points du service sur lesquels porte la réserve prévue à l'article 17 de la Convention, sont notamment:\n\nl'établissement des tarifs d'Etat à Etat;\n\nle règlement des comptes;\n\nl'adoption d'appareils ou de vocabulaires spéciaux, entre des points et dans des cas déterminés;\n\nl'application du système des timbres-télégraphe;\n\nla transmission des mandats d'argent par le télégraphe;\n\nla perception des taxes à l'arrivée;\n\nle service de la remise des télégrammes à destination;\n\nla faculté de transmettre à prix réduit des correspondances à l'usage de la presse, à des heures et à des conditions déterminées, sans préjudice pour le service général;\n\nl'extension du droit de franchise aux télégrammes de service qui concernent la météorologie et tous autres objets d'intérêt public.\n\n15. Bureau international.\n\nCommunications\n\nArticle 14 de la Convention. Un organe central, placé sous la haute autorité de l'Administration supérieure de l'un des Gouvernements contractants désigné à cet effet par le règlement, est chargé de réunir, de coordonner et de publier les renseignements de toute nature relatifs à la télégraphie internationale, d'instruire les demandes de modification aux tarifs et au règlement de service, de publier les\n\n25\n\n87",

Un atterrissement intermédiaire sera fait au fort de Thuan-An, à l'entrée de la rivière de Hué. Les lignes de raccordement souterraines et fluviales seront aux frais de la compagnie.\n\n...\n\nPage 438\n\nArt. 2. La compagnie prendra à sa charge et à ses risques et périls l'entretien dudit câble pendant une période de vingt années, durant laquelle elle s'engage à maintenir la communication en bon état de service et, dans ce but, à réparer le câble et à le renouveler si cela devient nécessaire, pour quelque cause que ce soit, pendant la durée de la présente Convention.\n\nL'entretien des raccordements entre les points d'atterrissement et les bureaux télégraphiques de l'administration reste à la charge du Gouvernement.\n\nLa Président de la République promulgue la loi dont la teneur suit :\n\nArticle unique.

La compagnie sera tenue d'installer les bouées et balises que le gouvernement français jugerait nécessaires en vue de la protection des câbles.\n\nElle sera soumise à toutes les obligations qui pourront être établies, soit par une convention internationale, soit par un règlement intérieur, dans l'intérêt de la conservation des câbles. Dans tous les cas, le Gouvernement ne sera soumis à aucune responsabilité à raison des difficultés qui pourraient surgir entre la compagnie et les concessionnaires d'autres lignes télégraphiques sous-marines, ou, en général, avec qui que ce soit ou pour quelque cause que ce soit.\n\nArt. 5. L'établissement de ce câble ne comportera aucun privilège ou monopole en faveur de la compagnie ; il aura lieu sous réserve de tous droits.\n\nIl n'est rien stipulé en ce qui concerne notamment les droits de douane, pour lesquels la compagnie concessionnaire devra s'adresser aux administrations compétentes, dont les droits sont expressément réservés.\n\nArt. 6. Le câble devra être établi et en état de fonctionner dans le délai de deux ans à partir de la date où la présente convention sera rendue exécutoire.\n\nDans le cas contraire, et sauf le cas de force majeure, dûment constaté, ou d'accident pendant la pose nécessitant le relèvement ou la réparation du câble, la compagnie serait passible d'une amende de 1,000 francs par jour de retard, et si le retard se prolongeait au delà d'un mois, la présente convention pourrait être déclarée nulle et non avenue sans qu'il soit besoin d'aucune mise en demeure préalable, et le cautionnement spécifié à l'article 18 serait acquis au Trésor.\n\nLe câble sera mis à la disposition de l'administration française dès qu'il aura été posé et reconnu propre à être utilisé à la transmission de la correspondance en transit de câble à câble, à charge toutefois par la compagnie de faire, pour le compte de l'administration française, le service de la correspondance de la Cochinchine, de l'Annam et du Tonkin qui pourrait être transmise par le câble.\n\nEn cas d'interruption du câble direct entre le cap Saint-Jacques et Haiphong, la transmission de cette même correspondance, c'est-à-dire de celle de provenance et destination autre que celle de la Cochinchine, de l'Annam ou du Tonkin, qui transiterait simplement de câble à câble à Haiphong, pourra être faite par les employés de la compagnie.\n\nArt. 7. Le ministre de la marine et des colonies fixera les taxes du câble entre le cap Saint-Jacques, l'Annam et Haiphong pour la correspondance à destination ou en provenance de l'Annam et du Tonkin. Le produit de ces taxes appartiendra en totalité à l'administration française, la compagnie n'ayant droit à aucune part de cette taxe.\n\nL'administration française sera créditée dans les comptes mensuels du montant de cette recette.\n\nArt. 8. Les dépêches reçues à la station du cap Saint-Jacques à destination de l'Annam et du Tonkin et celles reçues à la station de Haiphong à destination de l'Annam, du cap Saint-Jacques et au delà, seront toujours dirigées par le câble direct qui fait l'objet de la présente convention. Elles ne pourront être dirigées par la voie de Hongkong qu'en cas d'interruption ou de dérangement des communications par le câble direct.\n\nDans le cas d'indication expresse de l'expéditeur, les dépêches seront taxées pour le parcours indiqué suivant le tarif de la compagnie.\n\nArt. 9.- Le service télégraphique par le câble sera fait par l'administration française à ses frais.\n\nLe service dans les stations du cap Saint-Jacques et de Haiphong sera permanent sauf interruption en dehors du cas de rupture du câble ou de dérangement dans les communications.\n\nLe bureau de Thuan-An sera à service limité.\n\nDans l'intervalle des heures de service, le câble sera mis en circuit pour la transmission directe entre le cap Saint-Jacques et Haiphong.\n\nLes télégrammes en transit de câble à câble qui seront remis aux bureaux du cap Saint-Jacques et de Haiphong par la compagnie devront être transmis avec toute la rapidité désirable.\n\nArt. 10. Le gouvernement français aura le droit, à toute époque, en prévenant six mois d'avance, de transférer à la compagnie le service de transmission par le câble.\n\nArt. 11. — Les dépêches officielles du gouvernement français jouiront d'une réduction de moitié sur toutes les lignes de la compagnie Eastern Extension Australasia and China Telegraph Company Limited.\n\nArt. 12. On appliquera pour le service de la correspondance avec l'Annam et le Tonkin les règles de la convention télégraphique de Saint-Pétersbourg et de règlement de Londres, ou de tous actes internationaux par lesquels ils seront ultérieurement remplacés, et notamment, en ce qui concerne l'application de toute modification du tarif, la règle fixée par l'article 44, paragraphe 3 du règlement.\n\nLa compagnie s'engage à ne pas surélever les taxes une fois établies pour ce service sur les lignes sans une autorisation expresse du ministre de la marine et les modifications de ces taxes devront être approuvées par l'administration française et ne pourront être faites que par fraction compatible avec le système monétaire français et pouvant être représentée par des monnaies usuelles.\n\nCes tarifs seront établis sur des bases uniformes, tout tarif de faveur étant rigoureusement interdit.\n\nDe toute manière la taxe des dépêches sur les lignes de la compagnie pour la correspondance échangée entre la France et la Cochinchine, l'Annam et le Tonkin, ne pourra être supérieure au prix perçu pour les correspondances de tout autre Etat européen.\n\nSur la demande du ministre de la marine et des colonies, il sera accordé au bénéfice du public français pour la correspondance avec la Cochinchine, l'Annam et le Tonkin, toutes réductions que la compagnie ferait pour d'autres pays pour un même parcours.\n\nArt. 13. En considération de la fourniture du câble, des instruments de transmission, le ministre de la marine et des colonies s'engage à lui payer pendant vingt ans, à partir de l'ouverture du service par le câble, une somme totale annuelle de deux cent soixante mille francs pour la ligne principale et quinze mille francs, savoir : deux cent cinquante mille francs pour l'atterrissement principal et cinq mille francs pour l'atterrissement intermédiaire de Thuan-An, le tout payable par quartier à l'expiration de chaque trimestre.\n\nPour toute interruption des communications par le câble, il sera fait réduction d'une part proportionnelle à la durée de l'interruption.\n\nDans le cas où l'administration française serait dans l'impossibilité de faire usage du câble, la subvention continuera à lui être payée pendant un délai maximum de trois mois.\n\nLa subvention continuera également à être acquise à la compagnie si le fait de l'interruption résulte d'une réquisition du gouvernement français.\n\nArt. 14. Les comptes entre l'administration française et la compagnie seront établis par mois et le règlement en aura lieu à la fin de chaque trimestre.\n\nLe solde de compte résultant de la présente convention, ainsi que de tout autre compte afférent à la correspondance télégraphique échangée par l'intermédiaire de la compagnie, sera payable à Paris et en monnaie française.\n\nDans le cas où des retenues sur la subvention devraient être faites sur un trimestre déjà payé, elles seraient effectuées sur la part de la subvention afférente au trimestre suivant.\n\nArt. 15. On appliquera au service de la correspondance avec l'Annam et le Tonkin les règles de la convention télégraphique de Saint-Pétersbourg et de règlement de Londres, ou de tous actes internationaux par lesquels ils seront ultérieurement remplacés...\n\nPage 439\n\nArt. 16. Le gouvernement français ne sera soumis à aucune responsabilité, en raison des difficultés provoquées dans le fonctionnement et l'entretien du câble, par quelque cause que ce soit.\n\nArt. 17. Dans le cas où, en exécution du droit qu'il s'est réservé par l'article 10, le gouvernement français viendrait à transférer à la compagnie le service de transmission par le câble, l'article 9 ci-dessus relatif à l'exploitation de ce service par l'Etat serait annulé et remplacé par les dispositions suivantes :\n\n1o Le service des stations sera fait par la compagnie concessionnaire, et à ses frais. La station du cap Saint-Jacques sera établie dans les mêmes conditions que la station actuelle de la compagnie Eastern Extension.\n\nA Haiphong, la maison occupée par la station actuelle de la compagnie sera mise à la disposition de la compagnie concessionnaire.\n\nAu fort de Thuan-An, le local occupé par le service télégraphique restera à l'usage de la compagnie.\n\nLes agents employés par la compagnie dans les stations devront être agréés par le gouvernement français, et, pour la moitié au moins, être de nationalité française, à moins d'empêchements constatés.\n\nD'autre part, la taxe pour la correspondance à destination et à provenance autres que la Cochinchine, l'Annam et le Tonkin, c'est-à-dire pour celle qui transiterait simplement de câble à câble à Haiphong, sera fixée par le tarif de la compagnie et appartiendra en totalité à la compagnie, sauf une taxe de transit de sept centimes et demi par mot qui appartiendra au gouvernement français.\n\n2o Les frais quelconques d'exploitation seront à la charge de la compagnie, ainsi que l'entretien des raccordements entre les points d'atterrissement mentionnés à l'article 2 et les bureaux télégraphiques mentionnés à l'article 9.\n\n3. Le gouvernement français se réserve le droit d'organiser sur le service de la ligne concédée tout contrôle qu'il jugera convenable.\n\nLes frais de ce contrôle, de même que ceux de la surveillance que l'administration française ferait exercer pour la fabrication et la pose du câble, ainsi que sur les réparations auxquelles le câble donnerait lieu, seront à la charge de la compagnie ; toutefois, le contrôle n'entraînera pas, si le gouvernement français juge à propos de l'appliquer, une charge pour la compagnie supérieure à 7,000 fr.\n\nArt. 18. La compagnie versera dans le délai d'un mois, sous peine de nullité de la présente concession, un cautionnement de 250 000 francs en numéraire ou en rentes sur l'Etat, dont elle recevra les arrérages, qui resteront à la charge des dépôts et consignations pendant toute la durée de la concession, à titre de fonds de garantie applicable tant au fonctionnement du câble qu'à son entretien.\n\nCe cautionnement sera remboursé en même temps que sera payée la dernière annuité.\n\nArt. 19. - En cas d'interruption des communications, les réparations devront être effectuées dans le plus bref délai ; si elles ne l'avaient pas été dans un délai de six mois, le gouvernement français aurait (sauf pour l'Etat la faculté de prononcer la déchéance comme il est dit à l'article 22) le droit de faire procéder lui-même aux réparations, au compte du fonds de garantie établi en vertu de l'article 18 ci-dessus.\n\nArt. 20. La compagnie ne pourra céder aucun de ses droits à la présente concession, ni affermer le câble ou sous-louer les intérêts de ladite compagnie, sans le consentement et par écrit du gouvernement français.\n\nArt. 21. La présente convention aura une durée de vingt années, à l'expiration de laquelle la compagnie conservera la propriété du câble, mais si la convention n'a pas été renouvelée, elle perdra les droits d'atterrissement qui lui sont concédés par la présente convention.\n\nArt. 22. La compagnie pourra être déchue des bénéfices de la présente concession au profit de l'Etat, qui seul pourra se prévaloir de cette déchéance :\n\n1o Si, après l'ouverture des communications dans les conditions stipulées à l'article 6 ci-dessus, il se produisait dans le service des correspondances entre le cap Saint-Jacques et Haiphong une interruption de plus de six mois, sans que la compagnie, dûment mise en demeure, ait justifié d'efforts suffisants pour faire cesser l'interruption ;\n\n2o En tout état de cause, si, pour les mêmes cas, l'interruption se prolongeait au delà d'un an ;\n\n3o En cas de violation de l'une quelconque des clauses obligatoires qui sont imposées à la compagnie par le présent traité.\n\nEn cas de déchéance, les 250,000 fr. de cautionnement seront acquis à l'Etat, et la compagnie perdra les droits d'atterrissement, qui lui sont concédés par la présente convention.\n\nArt. 23.\n\nLe gouvernement français aura, à toute époque, en prévenant six mois d'avance, le droit de mettre fin à la présente convention et de racheter le câble qui en fait l'objet, sous des conditions à débattre, au besoin, à dire d'experts.\n\nPage 440\n\nJOURNAL OFFICIEL DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE\n\nQuinzième année. -- No 350.",

This Excellency informed me that rent is very high in the Colony, and that at least $60 a month should be allowed me.\n\nUpon reviewing the provided text, I have made the following corrections and adjustments according to the given rules:\n\n1. **Corrected spelling errors**: e.g., \"ackurnaledge\" to \"acknowledge\", \"bara\" to \"paragraph\", \"Qual\" to \"inst.\", \"Bärl\" to \"Earl\", \"resideme\" to \"residence\", \"Abs.\" to \"Office\", \"intervien\" to \"interview\", \"na thely\" to removed and rephrased for clarity, \"Connerent\" to \"rent\", \"Jaho\" to removed as it seems out of context, \"mouth\" to \"month\".\n   \n2. **Fixed spacing issues**: Removed extra spaces and added necessary ones for clarity.\n\n3. **Rejoined broken sentences**: Attempted to merge split sentences for better readability.\n\n4. **Restored paragraph breaks**: Formatted the text into paragraphs for easier reading.\n\n5. **Indicated missing words**: Added `...` where a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n6. **Markdown formatting**: Initially, the response was to be formatted in Markdown, but the final instruction overrides this, asking for HTML using `` for paragraphs.\n\n7. **No rephrasing or rewriting**: Made minimal changes to the original text, correcting only unambiguous errors.\n\n8. **File references and page numbering**: Not directly applicable in this text snippet.\n\n9. **Newspaper reordering and data in tables**: Not applicable in this snippet.\n\n10. **Chinese writing direction**: Not applicable as there's no Chinese text.\n\nThe corrections made aim to enhance readability while adhering to the original content as closely as possible.",

        "content_text": "## DARING PIRACY ON BOARD A BRITISH STEAMER. MURDER OF THE CAPTAIN.\n\nThe present time appears \"big with fate\" in this colony. On Saturday we had one of the gravest collisions that has ever occurred in the harbour, and yesterday morning news reached this colony of the most daring piracy that has occurred within these waters since the notorious Spark tragedy. There has been, in fact, a complete repetition of the Spark piracy on board the British steamer **Greyhound**. Captain Syder, which plies between this port and Hoihow and Pakhoi.\n\nThe Greyhound left Hongkong at about six o'clock on Saturday morning with a general cargo, consisting of piece goods, rice, &c., altogether not of a particularly valuable character, and tickets were issued for about 110 passengers. It is believed, however, that none of the holders of these tickets were concerned in the piracy, but that the pirates were men who came on board shortly before the departure of the ship, without tickets, in two batches, none of them having stockings on, and with no luggage but a few boxes, which are now supposed to have contained their weapons. Their passage money was collected on board.\n\nThe Greyhound weighed anchor at 6 a.m., and got as far as an island called Kow Lan Tai Lo, which is about seventy miles from this port, before any event of importance occurred. Between twelve and one o'clock, while the captain was on the bridge, the chief officer on the deck, and the second officer aft, the pirates rose suddenly. Up till then there had not been the smallest suspicion on board the steamer of any contemplated piracy; no precautions had been taken, and no means were at hand to cope with any sudden rising. Not one of the ship's officers had a single weapon about him, and being scattered about the ship as they were at the time the outbreak occurred, the pirates had it all their own way from the very outset.\n\nThe first intimation of the rising was a rush made by the pirates at the captain and officers, firing their weapons recklessly as they did so. Captain Syder tried to fight his way to his cabin, doubtless for the purpose of obtaining his revolver, but he was fired at all the way, and on the starboard side of the deck he was shot down. The unfortunate man was then pounced upon, stabbed, and his body thrown overboard.\n\nThe chief officer got off the best of all. He had not so far to run the gauntlet of the pirates' firing, and he made his way below to his cabin without being hit at all, and there he secured his revolver and lay ready for all emergencies. The pirates knew that someone had got down below, and learning from one of the boys who it was, they sent down and parleyed with him, making an offer about to the effect that if he would come out peacefully, they would leave him unharmed. He was then put in the after-hold, along with the other officers and the Chinese passengers.\n\nThe second mate was less fortunate in his experience. The first thing he knew of the matter was receiving a shot in the back. He was standing aft at the time, and seeing a number of armed Chinamen about him, firing, he made a dart to get forward, but he had to run through a shower of bullets fired at him by the pirate gang as he ran, and he was very severely wounded, with not less than six shot wounds in the body. His injuries are so serious that it is feared he will not survive them. He managed, however, to get forward, and at length reached the forehold.\n\nThe chief engineer was standing by the engine-room door when he received a shot, and he dashed forward at once, and sought the same place of shelter as the second officer. He was rather more fortunate in his effort, as he did not get so badly hit, and he reached the forehold with only two wounds. His injuries, it is hoped, are not of a very serious character.\n\nThose two wounded men were not allowed to remain in their retreat very long, for the pirates had them out and put them in the after part of the 'tween decks, along with the chief officer and the Chinese passengers. The head Chinese fireman was also wounded; he received a shot while walking along the deck, but it is thought his injury is not a very bad one.\n\nThe pirates having thus killed and disabled most of the officers and secured the passengers, had then the entire command of the vessel. There was no one to offer them the slightest resistance, for though the other Chinese passengers out-numbered them about four to one, and knew that they were likely to be sufferers at their hands, they did not attempt any resistance, but were completely intimidated at once. Nor were they really in a position to have done anything, as they were all unarmed, while the pirates were all furnished with firearms, and the chief officer said he saw that some of them had a revolver in each hand.\n\nThe whole affair occupied but a very short time, and almost immediately after the pirates rose, they were in full possession of the ship. The second engineer was on duty in the engine room at that time, and the pirates kept him there. They ordered him to keep the engines at work, and when they had disposed of the officers they proceeded to look round the steamer for plunder.\n\nThey had apparently received some information which led them to expect there was a great deal of treasure or other valuable cargo on board, and expressed great disappointment at being able to find only one box of treasure, containing $2,000, and nothing else in the cargo that they deemed worth their while to remove. They then proceeded to thoroughly ransack the whole of the passengers' belongings, and took whatever was worth appropriation, remarking the while that had they known the amount of plunder to be got was so small, they would not have taken the trouble to carry out their audacious enterprise.\n\nSoon after the steamer was in their hands the pirates had her head turned round, and steamed back towards Hongkong, threatening all the while to scuttle the ship, and to burn her, but, fortunately for the owners and for the crew, they attempted neither. When they had arrived within a short distance from this island they hailed a boat which was lying anchored, waiting for them, and then stopped the steamer and transferred their plunder on board the junk. They next went into the engine room, and removed the lever from the pump which supplies fresh water to the boilers, a step which they evidently believed would...",

        "content_text": "Enclosure 1.\n\n27th May, 1886.\n\nTHE BABY SCARE. The disquieting rumour afloat yesterday has been in some measure dispelled, although there is still a stupid feeling of uneasiness abroad and but few of the scholars have returned to the schools. The rumour was not altogether a sudden outburst. On the day before yesterday there were ugly stories going about a big immolation, which had grown bigger and bigger until they assumed alarming proportions yesterday afternoon. The cause of the putting abroad of such an altogether incredible report it is very difficult to ascertain. There can be no doubt, however, that the excited condition of the minds of the native population arising from the dearth of water was the cause of the alarming rapidity with which the absurd news spread. For weeks the poor people have been grumbling for want of water, being unable to give the extortionate price that was demanded. That this was at the bottom of the matter there is little doubt, for the most wide-spread rumour was that the great sacrifice of the innocents was to be made by the contractor of the Taitam water scheme, who not being able, so the story ran, to complete his scheme within the time stipulated by Government was, according to an old Chinese usage, to propitiate the adverse fates by consecrating his work with the blood of a large number of children. There can be no doubt, however, that the disquieted state of the people's mind found its active expression from other causes which some are more difficult to ascertain. Some think that the Tez-fahead centre's followers had spread the rumour as an act of revenge for the banishment of their chief, and perhaps they may have added a good deal of fuel to the fire. Others lay the blame at the door of the Triad and such like secret societies, and from the fact that the only attempt at open disturbance was made in a centre honeycombed by these societies it cannot be doubted that they had worked up the excitement. But with the natives the most widely diffused belief is that the little spark that led to the combustion was the actual observation of some policemen taking a half dozen young rogues in charge to reprimand them for some offence—a thing which occurs every other day, but which in the fevered state of the people's mind led to the idea that these youngsters were captured by the police for the purpose of handing them over to the contractor of the Taitam water works. This statement, however, is denied by the police.\n\nThe rapidity with which the news spread in the schools was astonishing. In the morning it had only reached the Central School, but ere noon it had spread to the most western point and mothers were to be seen dragging their children away to prevent them from falling into the clutches of the awful Moloch into which the Government of the Colony had been raised in their eyes.\n\nDr Eitel, who had been apprised of the excitement by a school-master, visited the schools in the afternoon and found them nearly deserted. Outside the buildings he found a crowd gathered discussing in an animated manner the dreadful design of the barbarous English Government. On every occasion he went into the centre of the crowd and told them it was all nonsense; and most of the people apparently believed him, for the crowds generally dispersed. One of the crowds contained about 200 or 300 men, and as he approached it he heard cries of 'ta' (kill). He did not know who was meant and made enquiries, finding out that he was the person they wished to take their vengeance on. This crowd, however, also dispersed, but as he went along the lane the people from their houses reflected the cry of 'ta.' A Sikh constable, who was near, chased some of the stragglers. Dr Eitel, thinking he might do more harm than good, counselled him to leave them alone, and again reassured them that their fears were groundless.\n\nAt another part of the city, Queen's Road West, a mob had gathered, and seemed at one time likely to cause some trouble to the authorities. Earlier in the day an attack had been made on an Indian Constable, who was endeavouring to collect fines from two convicted prisoners, and he had to take refuge in a shop and was rather badly wounded in the head by stones thrown by a crowd of coolies. Later on, another Indian Constable had had occasion while parading his beat to take the numbers of certain houses; and what should the stupid people think but that he was bent on carrying off the children in these houses. Accordingly a crowd began to collect and the shopkeepers in the neighbourhood becoming alarmed shut up their shops. News was sent to the Police Office and two strong detachments of police were sent off to the spot. On arriving, however, the Police found they had nothing to do, for the crowd at once quietly dispersed.\n\nEast and West apparently the rumour had travelled with equal speed, and the next demonstration was at Sau-ki-wan. Here it assumed far more alarming proportions than at any other point. News was brought that two launches were coming to carry off their children and great consternation prevailed. From the junks in the harbour volleys were fired as an intimation that the men were determined to defend their children to the last, and then there was a big exodus to the neighbouring mainland. In the evening things had assumed such an alarming appearance that a proclamation had to be sent out; finally the police managed to pacify the mob, and all is now comparatively quiet.\n\nIn Yau-ma-ti also there was great commotion, the children there being sent to Kowloon city, for protection. In fact over every point where the British power extends this extraordinary report seems to have spread, and what is worse to have been believed. It is the mothers, it is said, who are raising all the commotion and who have got into hysterics about their children.\n\nAn example was made of two of the spreaders of the false news at the Police Court this morning. Wan Assi and Chan Afo, fishmongers, were charged with inciting to riot. The evidence against them was given by a lukong, who said that at 1 p.m. he was in the Hang Fa Lau eating house where 40 or 50 men were having tea. The two accused were sitting at a table by themselves. They said to the people in the house, 'The Government is going to arrest 108 boys and 108 girls to sacrifice to the water works and the tramway.' The lukong told the first accused to say no such nonsense. He then retorted that he saw it with his own eyes. Thirty were arrested on Tuesday and five this morning. The lukong then asked the second defendant if he had seen it, and he said he had been told of the matter. The first defendant was fined $5 with the option of one month's hard labour and six hours in the stocks, the second defendant $10 with the option of two weeks' hard labour and three hours in the stocks. Mr Mitchell-Innes said it was painful to think that after the English Government had been doing good to the place for 40 years they should be believed to be more barbarous than any nation on earth. The oldest man in Hongkong could not remember anything of this sort having been done. He did not know what their object was in spreading the false news, but he warned them to be careful in future.\n\nPage 371",

J. Ackroyd, Acting Attorney General\n\n13th May, 1887.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, FEBRUARY 21st, 1887.\n\nRENDITION CASE. Three Chinese, Thu Sang Chieu, Thi Har Shing, and Ching Sam were brought before the court charged with burglary and murder within the jurisdiction of the Emperor of China. The men were arrested by Inspector Quincey and some assistants in consequence of a communication from the Chinese authorities asking for the rendition of seven men on the above charges. The three prisoners are said to be some of those wanted, the others being at present at large.\n\nEvidence was produced to prove the arrest and identity of the prisoners.\n\nMr. Caldwell, who appeared for the prosecution on behalf of the Chinese authorities, applied for a remand in order that he might have an opportunity to formulate specific charges. He also asked that bail should not be allowed and that the prisoners should be segregated.\n\nHis Worship remanded the case for a week, and directed that the prisoners should be kept separate, bail being refused.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, MARCH 14th, 1887.\n\nCHARGE AGAINST A CHINESE MANDARIN OF CONSPIRACY TO MURDER. Colonel Li Loi, an officer of the Chinese Government, and Chun Ayut, alias Leung Yow, a hawker, appeared before the Court, the former upon the charge of subornation of perjury and the latter upon that of perjury. These charges were, as appears below, in the course of the proceedings supplemented by the more serious charges of attempting to murder and conspiring to murder one Leung Fa.\n\nOn the 19th February last three men were arrested in Hongkong upon the application of Colonel Li Loi, acting for the Viceroy of Canton, under the provisions of the Rendition Ordinance. The charge was one of burglary and murder, and the prisoners were defended by Messrs. Holmes and Dennys. The trial has been occupying the attention of the court for the last three or four days, and on Friday the evidence of the man calling himself Leung Yow, and passing as the nephew of the woman robbed, was questioned. Witnesses were called to prove that Leung Yow was an assumed name, and that the man's real name was Chan Ayut. The man was further personally examined by Dr. Hartigan, and tattoo marks were discovered, which though somewhat difficult to distinguish, were declared by the Chinese interpreter of the court, Chan Kai Ming, to represent the Chinese character \"To\" (thief). Other marks were also discovered, and it appeared that there was little question but that the man is a well-known criminal.\n\nAt the close of Friday's sitting Mr. Dennys applied to Mr. Wodehouse to detain both Colonel Li Loi and Leung Yow. The latter was accordingly detained, but His Worship declined at that stage to make any order as to Colonel Li Loi. Mr. Dennys, thereupon, took upon himself the responsibility of having Colonel Li Loi arrested. Colonel Li Loi, after being under arrest all night, was, on Saturday morning, released on a bail of $1,000.\n\nOn the appearance in court on Saturday morning of Chan Ayut he was placed in the dock, but the Mandarin, who was accompanied by Mr. Caldwell, was accommodated with a seat at the Solicitors' table.\n\nMr. Dennys, thereupon, pointing to Li Loi said—I charge this man with conspiring to murder, and I ask that he may be placed in the dock beside the other prisoner. I have strong reasons for objecting to any distinctions being drawn between this man and any other prisoner.\n\nHis Worship—I wish to hear first what reasons you have for doing this.\n\nMr. Dennys—The overt act, which I shall allege against the two prisoners, will be attempting to murder a man named Achus, but whom I know by the name of Leung Fu, and who is at present detained, as prisoner on remand, in Victoria Gaol. The overt act, which I shall allege in support of my charge, is, that these two persons have, in connection with proceedings which have been taken before another magistrate in this Colony, committed wilful and corrupt perjury, and I say that had they succeeded in their designs, they would have murdered Achus, alias Leung Fu, who is charged with murder, and who would have lost his life. I am told, your Worship, that the position I am in to-day is not a proper one for me. As the solicitor in the previous case, I applied to the magistrate who was adjudicating that case to detain those two defendants, and to have them charged with perjury. My application was refused, but the magistrate informed me that I, having seen the felony committed, it was for me to prosecute. I am therefore here to-day, not as a solicitor for any body, but simply as one of the citizens of Hongkong, who believes that an attempt to murder has been made, and I therefore prosecute.\n\nI may say that I have in my possession a sworn declaration, made before a Justice of the Peace in this Colony, of a large number of witnesses who have all declared that the evidence given by Chung Ayat, the second defendant in this case, is absolutely false. I had these declarations in my possession before I accepted the challenge of the magistrate, and took the position of prosecutor. If your worship wishes me to give a brief outline of what these proceedings are, I shall be happy to do so.\n\nHis Worship—You will have to state what the perjury consists of, and the depositions in the other case will have to be referred to.\n\nMr. Dennys then asked for the depositions in the other case to be produced at this point of the proceedings.\n\nMr. J. J. Francis, Q.C., who was instructed by Mr. Caldwell, appeared for the defence.\n\nMr. Francis—May I ask, your Worship, what is the charge against the prisoners?\n\nThe Magistrate—They are charged with conspiracy to murder.\n\nMr. Francis—May I ask who is the complainant?\n\nMr. Dennys—I am the complainant.\n\nThe Magistrate—Will you then formulate the charges and give them in writing.\n\nMr. Dennys—I will do so. I ask your Worship to adjourn the case till this afternoon in order to give me time to do so.\n\nMr. Francis—I object to any adjournment. The two men have been placed upon the charge sheet, one for perjury and the other for subornation of perjury. Either these charges must be gone on with or others substituted, otherwise your Worship cannot adjourn the case.\n\nMr. Dennys—I apply, then, for leave to amend the charge made last night. I now charge these two defendants Li Loi and Chan Ayat with conspiring together to attempt to murder a man named Leung Afu, who is at present detained a prisoner in Victoria Gaol. I likewise charge these two defendants with attempting to murder the said Leung Afu, and I further charge the first defendant with subornation of perjury.\n\nMr. Francis—Subornation to commit perjury, when and where?\n\nMr. Dennys—Suborning the second defendant to commit perjury in certain proceedings that have taken place before Mr. Wodehouse, one of the Magistrates in the Colony. The said perjury consisted of the allegation that the said Chan Ayut, who then called himself Leung Yow, had been kidnapped by Leung Afu; had been carried away by him from a place called Kweichow, in the Shun-tak district of Canton; had been taken by the said Leung Afu to a place called Whampoa, and had been detained there for two whole days. I further allege that the said Chan Ayut denied that he was called Leung Yow, and said that he had never heard that name before.",

        "content_text": "His Worship-That seems to me the position of affairs, and with that decision the case ends.\n\nobre.\n\nMr. Dennys-I think it very necessary the prisoners should understand how your Worship's mind works. If they are simply told they are sent to gaol they will want to commit suicide at\n\nI don't want them to do that, because I think there is still a chance, so far as my man is concerned. I am afraid it is a slender one, because I know the Attorney-General thinks that if you commit they are bound to be given up, but I don't want the man to commit suicide, at least not until the last moment.\n\nHis Worship-There is one other point--it is scarcely necessary for me to refer to it--but with regard to what I said about discharging the prisoners upon the evidence of Leong Ayow falling to the ground, in doing so I of course did not do away with my liberty of action, but merely intended it, not as a promise to the prisoners, but as a preliminary notice to the prosecution given by way of courtesy, that that would very probably be the course I should take.\n\nHis Worship's remarks were then interpreted to the prisoners.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, May 5th, 1887.\n\nCORRESPONDENCE.\n\nWe do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our Correspondents.\n\nTHE RENDITION CASE.\n\nTO THE EDITOR OF THE \"DAILY PRESS.\"\n\nNo. 60, Queen's Road Central, Hongkong, 4th May, 1887.\n\nSIR, We beg to enclose a copy of a letter we have addressed to the Colonial Secretary in reference to this matter, with a request that you will publish the same in the next issue of your journal.\n\nWe also enclose, with a similar request, a copy of the correspondence that passed between the Crown Solicitor and ourselves with reference to the Perjury case arising out of the Rendition case, which was committed for trial at the last Criminal Sessions, together with a copy of the draft Information which was in the hands of the Acting Attorney-General when he informed the Acting Chief Justice that he did not think he could usefully occupy the time of the Court in prosecuting Leong Ayau for Perjury.\n\nThe extreme gravity of the case and the fact that the mail leaves to-morrow must be our excuse for any apparent discourtesy to His Excellency the Acting Governor in requesting you to publish the enclosed before we have received any answer to our letter.\n\nWe are, Sir,\n\nYour obedient servants,\n\nDENNYS & MOSSOP,\n\nSolicitors for Leong Afu.\n\n60, Queen's Road, Hongkong,\n\n2nd May, 1887.\n\nSir,-We have the honour to enclose for the perusal and information of His Excellency the Acting Governor, nine declarations--(Declarations of Ho Fook, Lik Kai Ming, Fung Sai Taun, Im Abi, Cheong Asz, Cheong Sam, Wong Ho, Li Akit, and Ng Ayak)--that we have had taken before Mr. Coughtrie as a Justice of the Peace, with reference to a man named Leung Afa, who is at present detained in Victoria Gaol under a warrant of commitment issued by Mr. Wodehouse, one of the Police Magistrates, under Section 3 of Ordinance No. 2 of 1850, and we respectfully ask His Excellency to immediately order the release of the said Leung Afa from Gaol, where he has been detained ever since the 19th of February last, as he has not been found guilty of any offence against the laws of China provided for by Section 21 of the Treaty of Tientsin incorporated in Ordinance 2 of 1871.\n\nAs upon the action taken by His Excellency Leung Afa depends, but also the lives, liberty and property of some two hundred hands of persons subject to the rule of Her Majesty the Queen in this Colony, we feel sure that His Excellency will pardon us if we take this opportunity of stating at some length the reasons we feel justified in urging the release of our client.\n\nWe do not intend to reiterate what Mr. Dennys urged before the Magistrate, but we cannot help feeling that His Excellency might misapprehend the position he holds with reference to the extradition of persons claimed from the Government of this Colony by the Government of China if we did not place the following explanation before him, and point out that he is not bound to hand over the prisoner to the Chinese Authorities because a prima facie case has been found against him.\n\nBefore, therefore, we address ourselves in any way to the merits of the case in which our client was the third prisoner, we purpose to draw the attention of His Excellency to what we humbly conceive to be the state of the Law with reference to the rendition of people from this Colony to the neighbouring Empire; and we feel convinced that should His Excellency come to the conclusion that our statements are worthy of even the very slightest attention, he would not in any event allow Leung Afa to be transmitted to any of the Chinese Authorities until the whole question had been referred to Her Majesty's Government in England.\n\nFor the purpose of enabling His Excellency to understand why we ask him to put the construction we claim that he should upon the two local Ordinances 2 of 1850 and 2 of 1871, we must first of all point out that there is no Extradition Treaty between England and China--that is to say, there is no Extradition Treaty in the sense in which these words are used in English law books.\n\nIn treaties made for the extradition of alleged criminals between European Governments provision is made in some instances for the non-rendition of persons who belong to the state from which their rendition is claimed. For instance, France refuses to give up to the English authorities for trial Frenchmen who, having committed crimes in England, have sought refuge in France; but in almost all, if not in all, cases provision is made that the person claimed shall not be tried for political crimes or for other crimes committed before the crime for which rendition is claimed.\n\nProvision is likewise made for the non-rendition, where, according to the law of the state from which rendition is claimed, the time for prosecuting the particular offence alleged has terminated, and other provisions are sometimes inserted for the return of the accused to the country from which he is claimed and for the admission of depositions taken before the authorities of the country making the claim.\n\nNo Rendition Treaty containing these or similar provisions exists between England and China, and therefore any law books containing statements of the law based upon Treaties of this nature become to a great extent worthless when considering the action His Excellency should pursue with reference to rendition from this Colony to China.\n\nTo illustrate shortly what we have just pointed out, Franz Muller, a German living in London, after murdering Mr. Briggs upon the North London Railway, fled to the United States and was given up by them upon a claim for his rendition made by the English Government. Had he fled to Canton instead of New York, he could not have been claimed by England under any Extradition Treaty with China.\n\nTo put the converse of the case: if our client in this case had been residing in London instead of in Hongkong at the time the Chinese Official La Loi applied for his arrest, could he have been claimed from England by China under any Extradition Treaty? We think there cannot be the slightest doubt that he could not.\n\nHaving, we trust, shown clearly that no Extradition Treaty is in existence between England and China we would respectfully urge that if there is any extradition from this Colony to China, which is extremely doubtful, the whole of the law that governs it is contained in the two Hongkong Ordinances above referred to, 2 of 1850 and 2 of 1871; but before asking His Excellency to read these Ordinances in the way and the only way we submit in which they can be properly read and construed, we would ask him to allow us to call attention to the case referred to by Mr. Wodehouse when giving his decision and committing Leong Afu to Gaol: we mean the case of the Attorney-General of Hongkong...",

        "content_text": "u. Kwok Asing, which was decided in the Privy Council on appeal from the Supreme Court of this Colony. As far as this case is concerned, we would respectfully submit that the only point decided by the Privy Council in that case was that the Chinese Authorities could not claim the rendition of a person they accused of piracy on the high seas (piracy jure gentium), as that was an offence triable within this Colony.\n\nOne other important point that was raised by Mr. J. J. Francis, who was at that time the Attorney for Kwok Asing, was that the Ordinance 2 of 1850 was a dead letter, as all treaties made previously to the passing of the Ordinance had been abrogated or put an end to by the war between England and China in 1857; and Mr. Francis argued that the Ordinance could not be considered to be revived or to apply to the cases where rendition was claimed under the Treaty of Tientsin negotiated after the war.\n\nThe question of what was a \"prima facie case\" or what was \"probable cause\" was not raised or argued, and there was no binding judicial decision as to what was sufficient to justify the Magistrate in saying that a prima facie case had been made out, or that the words \"probable cause for believing that the said person has committed such crime or offence\" are the legal equivalent of the words \"on proof of their guilt,\" contained in Ordinance 2 of 1871, the latter Ordinance not affecting the decision of the Privy Council as it was passed after Mr. Francis' objection had been raised; but Lord Justice Mellish, who delivered the judgment, stated while the appeal was being argued that he had an impression that a Crown Colony has not jurisdiction to make such a law as Ordinance 2 of 1871.\n\nAs the Privy Council decided that piracy jure gentium was not an Extradition crime, it became unnecessary to decide whether Ordinance 2 of 1850 was in force, and nothing is said about it in the judgment.\n\nWith reference to the Tientsin Treaty, which is not, as we have above pointed out, an Extradition Treaty between England and China in the ordinary sense of the words, we would call the attention of His Excellency to the fact that there are two articles, Nos. 21 and 23, which refer to the criminal and civil Jurisdiction of the Courts in Hongkong over Chinese subjects, and we point this out as showing that it was considered necessary in dealing with China, where the law of exterritoriality is in force as to Europeans, to insert clauses which are not to be found, as far as we are aware, in any Treaties in existence between civilized states.\n\nThese two articles specially provide that in case of a Chinese criminal taking refuge in this Colony, on proof of guilt, he shall be delivered up, and that in case of a Chinese incurring debts in Hongkong, the recovery of such debts must be arranged for by the English Court of Justice on the spot.\n\nSupposing, therefore, Ordinances 2 of 1850 and 2 of 1871 not to be law, which, as we have above stated, seems extremely doubtful, then there is no legal provision whatever in existence which enables His Excellency the Governor to carry out the Tientsin Treaty, and there is no law in Hongkong under which Leong Afu can be detained or handed over.\n\nAs Lord Justice Mellish says: \"There is no doubt that in England, no treaty unconfirmed by Act of Parliament would be sufficient to enable a person to be given up.\"\n\nSupposing, as we say, that the local Ordinances are valid, we humbly submit to His Excellency that he cannot order Leong Afu to be delivered over to torture and execution by the Chinese Authorities unless he has been proved to be guilty of the offence charged against him by Li Loi.\n\nWe think it hardly necessary to ask His Excellency to say that no such thing has been done.\n\nWhat the Magistrate, before whom the prisoners were brought, has done is this - he has made no enquiry or investigation into the guilt or innocence of Leong Afu, but he has expressed in terms capable of no mistake and of no misinterpretation that he considers the charge brought forward by Li Loi to be false from beginning to end, and he has simply committed the prisoners to gaol, because, reading his instructions from the Government as he does, he has no right to enquire into the guilt of the accused.\n\nAll he can do is to register the statements made on declaration before him.\n\nWe do not intend to point out the contradictions and falsehoods contained in the depositions taken before Mr. Wodehouse, as we should be repeating what Mr. Dennys has already urged to the Magistrate,\n\nbut with reference to the statement of Li Sui, the cook, we would call attention to the fact that he was not cross-examined, as he did not in any way implicate the 1st or 3rd prisoners, who at the time of his examination, were the only two represented by Solicitors.\n\nWoo Achuk was not cross-examined, as she incriminated none of the prisoners.\n\nAs to the declarations which we forward, His Excellency will see from the dates upon which they were made that two of the witnesses, Dr. Fung Sai Tau and the landlord Luk Kai Ming, were examined afterwards on the hearing of the case before Mr. Meekin, in which Li Loi and Lung Avau, the Chinese Alandaria and his principal witnesses, were charged with perjury at the instance of our Mr. Dennys.\n\nThese two witnesses were cross-examined by Mr. J. J. Francis, Q.C., who appeared as Counsel for the defence, and their evidence was in no way shaken.\n\nIt was just at the close of the examination of the landlord, Luk Kai Ming, that the Magistrate was directed by the Attorney-General, as we submit without any legal authority, to stay proceedings against Li Loi, and there then being sufficient evidence before the Magistrate to justify a committal for trial before the Supreme Court of Lung Ayau for perjury, Mr. Dennys did not see any necessity for calling further witnesses, but had Mr. Wodehouse allowed witnesses for the defence of Leong Afu to have been called, we were prepared to produce on his behalf all the witnesses whose declarations we enclose.\n\nIn conclusion, we again ask His Excellency to have the prisoner Leong Afu immediately discharged from Gaol, and suggest that unless this be done and the prisoner allowed to immediately quit the Colony unmolested by Chinese Officials, the promise of protection to Chinese frequenting Hongkong made by Her Majesty when Hongkong was ceded to the British Crown will become absolutely of no effect, and any person of Chinese descent, even though a British subject by birth or naturalisation, residing in Hongkong who may offend any Chinese Mandarin, will be subject to be renditioned to torture and to the mockery of a trial from which our client, the late U-shap, was only too glad to escape by strangling himself in his cell during one of the frequent adjournments of this case, and this too, although there was not the faintest doubt that the evidence given against him was false.\n\nWe have the honour to forward you this letter in triplicate, and to request that whatever steps His Excellency the Acting Governor may take as to the release of our client, he will have the same forwarded to Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nWe have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servants,\n\nDENNYS & Mossop.\n\nHon.

Stewart, LL.D.,\n\nActing Colonial Secretary.\n\nDECLARATIONS.\n\nIn the Police Court of Hongkong. - In the matter of an application for the rendition of Ching Sam, U Ashap, and Tsang Achun, under Ordinance No. 2 of 1850.\n\n1.

I am a doctor of medicine residing in Hongkong, where I have been practising my profession for over 19 years.\n\n2. For the last seventeen years I have been residing at No. 10, Kwong Yuan Street West, Victoria aforesaid.\n\n3. I have seen the man who is at present detained in the Victoria Gaol and who is being tried before the Magistrate for burglary and murder in Chinese territory under the name of Tsang Chun.\n\n4. I first saw the said prisoner on the 13th day of August, 1886, when I was requested to visit him at his residence, at No. 61, East Street, Victoria aforesaid.\n\n5. I was then informed that the prisoner was named Leung Afu, and that is the name by which I have always known him and until he was arrested in this case. I had never heard him called by any other name.\n\n6. The said Leung Afu was then suffering from a severe attack of rheumatism in his legs, his left leg being worse than his right.\n\n7. I visited the said Leung Afu repeatedly between the said 13th day of August and the 20th day of October, 1886, and prescribed medicine for him.\n\n8. I visited the said Leung Afu at his residence, No. 61, East Street, on the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th days of October, and during those days he was unable to walk except with difficulty and with great pain.\n\nThe said Leung Afu has partially recovered from his said illness, but he is still suffering from rheumatism and both his legs are shrivelled.\n\nAnd I make this solemn declaration, etc.\n\n(Signed) FANG SAI TSUN.\n\nC.\n\nI, Im Ahi, of Victoria, in the Island of Hongkong, widow, do hereby solemnly and sincerely declare and say as follows:-\n\n1.

The said prisoner has always been known to me by the name of Leung Afu, and until he was arrested in this case, I never heard him called by any other name.\n\n4. The said Leung Afu has occupied the front room on the said top floor of No. 61, East Street, ever since I have resided there up to the time of his arrest.\n\n5. The said Leung Afu suffers from rheumatism in his legs, and during the 9th moon of last year he was so ill that he was confined to his bed and unable to walk, except with very great pain and difficulty.\n\n6. I can say positively and of my own knowledge that during the said 9th moon the said Leung Afu, whom I call \"uncle Fu,\" never left the Colony.\n\nI saw the said Leung Afu every evening during the said time and had he been absent except when I was out during the day time I must have known it, as my room is next to his in the said house.\n\nAnd I make this solemn declaration, &c.\n\n(Her mark.)

        "content_text": "The Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG. MAY 24TH, 1887.\n\nIN ORIGINAL JURISDICTION.\n\nMOTION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS.\n\nMr. Dennys applied for a writ of Habeas Corpus in the matter of Leong Afu, one of the defendants in the Chinese Rendition case, and who is at the present time detained in Victoria Gaol. Mr. Dennys stated that he was unable to secure the services of counsel. There were at present only three counsel acting as such in the Colony; of these Mr. Francis was prosecuting in this case. Mr. Brereton stated that he was retained by the Chinese Government, and Dr. Ho Kai had been applied to by the Chinese Government but had refused to act for either side. He therefore put in an affidavit which he had filed.\n\nThe affidavit stated that Leong Afu was at present detained in Victoria Gaol under a warrant signed by Mr. Wodehouse, although the said Leong Afu had not been found guilty of any offence against the laws of this Colony or those of China. He had been charged with others with robbery and murder committed in Chinese territory on the night of 9th October, 1886. That he had stated that the evidence of Li Loi and Leong Ayau, the chief witnesses for the prosecution, had been guilty of subornation of perjury and of perjury; and at the request of the Magistrate had called witnesses to prove that Leong Ayau was not the person he represented himself to be, but a convicted and branded criminal. He had afterwards charged Li Loi and Leong Ayau with perjury, and that while that case was proceeding, without any previous notice to himself or any enquiry as to how far he was able to support his charge, the Acting Attorney-General stopped the further hearing of the case against Li Loi. That Leong Ayau had been committed for trial at the Supreme Court, but that the Acting Attorney-General caused him to be discharged by proclamation. That at the conclusion of the case against Leong Afu, although the Magistrate stated he believed Leong Ayau's evidence to be unworthy of belief, he (the Magistrate), acting under instructions from the Government, refused to release Leong Afu. That he had since applied to the Acting Governor for the immediate discharge of Leong Afu but had been informed that it had been decided to surrender the accused to the Chinese Authorities. That the Acting Governor, so far as he was aware, had made no enquiries as to the guilt or innocence of Leong Afu nor examined any witnesses who could give evidence in his behalf.\n\nMr. Dennys then put in and read the warrant by virtue of which Leong Afu is detained in Victoria Gaol.\n\nMr. Dennys based his argument against the accused being given up on article 2 of the Treaty of Tientsin, which he said distinctly stated that a prisoner should only be delivered over to the Chinese authorities when he had been tried and found guilty of the offence imputed to him. Leong Afu had not been found guilty, and therefore his Lordship would be quite justified in granting the writ asked for.\n\nHis Lordship granted the writ and adjourned the further hearing of the case to 30th May.\n\nPage 199\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, June 1st, 1887.\n\nTHE CHINESE RENDITION CASE-APPLICATION FOR DISCHARGE OF LEUNG AFU.\n\nMr. Dennys applied for the discharge of Leung Afu, one of the defendants in the Chinese rendition case.\n\nMr. J. J. Francis, Q.C., instructed by Messrs. Caldwell and Wilkinson, appeared on behalf of the Chinese Government to oppose the discharge; Mr. Wodehouse, the Magistrate by virtue of whose warrant the defendant is detained, appeared on his own behalf; and the Acting Attorney-General watched the case on behalf of the Government.\n\nMr. Dennys objected to Mr. Francis appearing for the Chinese Government. They had no locus standi in the matter. The case was simply between the Supreme Court and the Gaol.\n\nThe Court decided in favour of Mr. Francis being allowed to appear for the Chinese Government.\n\nMr. Dennys said he applied for the return of a writ of certiorari and for the discharge from custody of Leung Afu as he was not detained under any legal warrant of conviction or committal. The warrant was bad on the face of it. It did not cite any offence over which the Magistrate had jurisdiction. Again, the warrant said \"whereas Leung Afu having been duly convicted, &c.,\" but the defendant had not been convicted of any offence.\n\nThe Acting Chief Justice said that the Magistrate had committed the man to Gaol pending the orders of the Governor.\n\nMr. Dennys said he was quite prepared to show that the warrant of commitment must contain a recital of the conviction.\n\nMr. Francis said that it was the usual practice for the writs for certiorari and habeas corpus to be applied for at the same time and both dealt with together.\n\nThe Acting Chief Justice said he did not see why this rule had not been followed in this case. Mr. Dennys said on that point he must ask for the consideration of the court. He then went on to say that he should show to their Lordships that the Magistrate had not done his duty inasmuch as he had refused to hear witnesses who were willing to give evidence on behalf of the defendant. He should also call their Lordships' attention to his affidavit which, so far as he was aware, had not been contradicted.\n\nMr. Wodehouse said that his object in appearing was that if the writ of certiorari were granted, certain documents as well as the depositions be put in. These documents would show how he was somewhat influenced in the decision he had come to in the case.\n\nHis Lordship said he thought the documents might be put in.\n\nMr. Francis said that he thought all documents having reference to the case should be admitted.\n\nMr. Dennys said he had no objection to the documents being put in, but as he had not seen them it was impossible for him to say whether they had to do with the case or not. Continuing, he said that under Ordinance 2 of 1871 and Ordinance 2 of 1850, the Magistrate was held to be in the position of a jury as regards the prisoner, and when any doubt existed, that doubt was to benefit the prisoner. He would like to call their Lordships' attention to the three phrases in the second Ordinance, \"investigation,\" \"probable cause of belief,\" and \"proof of guilt.\" With reference to the words \"proof of guilt,\" he thought the same construction must be put on them as was done by the Privy Council in the case of the Attorney-General v. Kwok Shing. The Magistrate in trying the case must have such a proof of guilt as would justify him in committing the prisoner had the offence been committed within the jurisdiction of Hongkong. There might be links in the chain of evidence wanting, but there must be no reasonable doubt in his mind that those links would be found when the case was heard against him in that Court. He would ask their Lordships to refer to the affidavit before them, and they would see that there was no such proof of guilt in this case. The Magistrate had said distinctly that if he were a jury, he would not convict upon such evidence.\n\nThe Acting Chief Justice-The Magistrate does not exactly say that. He is not in the same position as a jury. He says if the final decision were to rest upon him, he might perhaps give the prisoner the benefit of the doubt.\n\nMr. Dennys said that their Lordships could not hold that the Magistrate had reasonable grounds of belief that the defendant was guilty. One witness had sworn that in the middle of the night he had seen through four solid walls. At the time that statement was made, they had not gone far enough to see what were the facts of the case, but when other witnesses were called and the position of these walls determined, his statement meant that or nothing. From his own statement as to where he was sleeping and from the place stated afterwards in evidence as the spot where the men broke into the house, it was perfectly plain that the witness, if he looked perfectly straight, saw through four solid walls, and if he looked crooked through five. Could the Magistrate with such evidence as that before him...",

        "content_text": "The Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, JUNE 15TH, 1887.\n\nTHE CHINESE RENDITION CASE. JUDGMENT.\n\nIn the case of Leung Afu, one of the defendants in the Rendition case, for whose discharge Mr. Dennys applied, their Lordships delivered the following judgment:-\n\nOn the application of Mr. Dennys, supported by two affidavits—one by himself and the other by Leung Afu, a prisoner in the Victoria Gaol, committed under the Extradition Ordinance,—Lung Afu was brought before the court on a writ of Habeas corpus. To his return to the writ, the Superintendent of the Gaol annexes the warrant under which he holds the prisoner. Notice of a writ of certiorari was served, and this writ was moved for and the proceedings before the magistrate were brought into court by the magistrate himself, and were referred to in the argument on the return of the writ of Habeas corpus. Mr. Francis, Q.C., appeared on behalf of the Chinese Government to support the warrant of commitment. The committing magistrate appeared in person and handed in the proceedings. The Acting Attorney-General appeared to watch the case on behalf of the Government, but took no part in the proceedings. Mr. Dennys, for the prisoner, by special leave in absence of Counsel, argued that the prisoner was detained on a warrant which was bad on the face of it, as there was no offence recited over which the magistrate had jurisdiction. He cited Regina v. King, 13 L.C., 43, and other cases, which we have examined.\n\nThe warrants in these cases omitted to state the gist of the offences for which the magistrates committed. \"In the matter of Paarle,\" 1 A. and E. N. S., bears most on this matter. It appears from the proceedings at the Police Court that the prisoner and two others were charged on the 19th February last, as subjects of China, with murder and burglary within the jurisdiction of the Emperor of China on the 9th October last. Several examinations took place, and in the course of the proceedings Mr. Dennys alleged that one of the principal witnesses for the Chinese authorities had committed perjury, and the man was charged with it, and the investigation of the case against Leung Afu and the others was postponed, pending the trial of a witness for perjury.\n\nIt appears that although the witness was committed for trial for perjury, the Attorney-General, for reasons no doubt satisfactory to the Crown, entered a nolle prosequi, and proceedings against the prisoner were thus abandoned. After this, the rendition case was resumed, and it appears from the affidavit and from the magistrate's own notes that the magistrate refused to hear any evidence on behalf of the prisoners, although Mr. Dennys on behalf of one prisoner, and Mr. Holmes on behalf of another, asked to be allowed to produce evidence.\n\nIn rendition cases of Chinese subjects in this Colony, the procedure and powers of the magistrates are to be found in Ord. 2 of 1850 and Ord. 2 of 1871. Ord. 2 of 1850 was passed to carry out the treaty of the Bogue, which provided for the rendition of Chinese subjects to the Chinese Government who had committed crimes and offences in China. Ord. 2 of 1871 was passed as a declaratory Ordinance—declaring that 2 of 1850 was to apply to the Treaty of Tientsin, the 21st Article of which provides for the rendition to China of Chinese criminals escaping here, on \"proof of guilt.\" Mr. Dennys argued that \"proof of guilt\" meant complete proof, and amplified the words in the Ordinance 2 of 1850 in favour of the accused.\n\nThe learned Counsel for the Chinese Government argued that the Court, Magistrate, and Government will only look to Ordinance 2 of 1850, as declared by 2 of 1871. Section 1 of Ordinance 2 of 1850 gives power to the magistrate to detain Chinese subjects having committed offences against the laws of China and being then in Hongkong: (1) if a complaint has been made by any officer of the Chinese Government; or (2) if it appears in the course of investigating any other matter, that a Chinese subject has committed an offence against the laws of China; or (3) if such person be already in custody, it shall be lawful to detain such person, and to investigate the alleged crime or offence in the same manner as if such person were charged with a crime or indictable offence committed within the colony.\n\nSection III says that if at the close of this investigation it shall appear to the Magistrate or Court that such person as aforesaid is a subject of China, and that there is probable cause for believing that the said person has committed such crime or offence, it shall and may be lawful for such Magistrate or Court to commit such person for safe custody to prison, and to direct the Gaoler to detain such person in prison until the said Gaoler shall receive some order from the Governor of Hongkong, relative to the further detention, discharge or transmission of such prisoner to the nearest Chinese authorities as to the Governor shall seem fit; and the Magistrate or Court shall, upon making such committal as aforesaid, transmit to the said Governor of Hongkong the minutes of such investigation, &c.\n\nNow, under the warrant of the magistrate the prisoner Leung Afu was committed to Gaol on 29th April, 1887, pending the orders of the Governor as to his further disposal, it appearing to the said magistrate, upon investigation of the case, that there was cause to believe that the prisoner was a subject of China, and had committed crimes and offences, viz., burglary and murder, within the Empire of China. It is not stated in the warrant when the murder and burglary were committed, nor is there any reference to the Act or Ordinance giving the Magistrate jurisdiction.\n\nIn the case of Young Achau and 12 others, brought before this Court in November, 1881, the late Mr. Justice Snowden in ordering the discharge of the prisoners, although the warrant stated on the face of it that it was under Ordinance 2 of 1850, S. III., said: \"I am unable to discover when the form now in use was adopted in this Colony. I find that the form of conviction appended to Ord. 10 of 1884, still in force, requires the following particulars—setting out the information and if the conviction is made for an offence against any Statute or Ordinance to state it.\"\n\nHe then goes on to quote from the warrant of committal: \"Whereas it hath appeared to me a magistrate for the said Colony,—is a subject of China—and that there is probable cause, &c.,” and asks if this form is sufficient and cites Baron Parke's Judgment, Ex. Chamber, in Howard and Gossett, 10 Q.B., at p. 411-452. Paley on Conviction, 182, says: \"In the case of special authorities given by Statutes to Justices or others acting out of the ordinary course of Common Law, the instruments by which they act, whether warrants to arrest, commitment orders, convictions or inquisitions ought, according to the course of decision, to show their authority on the face of them by direct averment or necessary intendment.\"\n\nMr. Justice Snowdon goes on to say: \"Of course greater nicety is required in the case of summary conviction, and where the commitment is in execution than where prisoners are remanded or committed to prison for further disposal only.\" He further states that he is of opinion that in \"cases of rendition the accused are entitled to the protection of every formality the law throws around them, and that it is the duty of this court before whom they claim their discharge to see that there has been no shortcoming in this respect.\"\n\nIn Paley on Convictions, pages 201 and 202, it is stated that the conviction must likewise specify the time and place of committing the fact complained of.\" The precise day need not be named if the fact be alleged to have happened between such and such a day—see also 2 Hawkins C. 25, sec. 82.\n\nIt is quite true, as Mr. Francis pointed out, that Jervis Acts have not been made the law of the Colony, and that so far as indictable offences are concerned the procedure would be in strict law according to 7 Geo. 4 C. 64. Jervis' Acts became law in England in 1849, and introduced certain changes which are pointed out in Stephens' History of the Criminal Law of England.\n\nBut sec. 1 of 7 George IV. C. 64, after describing two persons are to be examined in indictable offences with the view to commitment, indicates that evidence may be adduced by the accused—\"or such evidence shall be adduced on behalf of the prisoner charged, &c.\" \"Provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to require any such Justice or Justices to hear evidence on behalf of any person so charged as aforesaid unless it shall appear to him or them to be meet and conducive to the ends of Justice to hear the same.\"\n\nNow Ord. 2 of 1850 directs that the magistrate shall investigate rendition cases as he would indictable offences. In 1849 Lord Denman, C.J., said that where a person charged with felony has witnesses in attendance at the time of the examination before the magistrate they should then be examined if the prisoner wished it.

        "content_text": "Magisterial Synopsis, Vol. II page 901, and in several previous cases where persons were charged with having stolen property and gave references to persons from whom they received the same, the Judges have stated that such persons should be sent for and examined with the view of exonerating or contradicting the accused. 30 and 31 Vic. C. 35 § 8 directs Justices in England to ask prisoners whether they have witnesses, and directs their examination and to be placed under recognisances like witnesses for the prosecution. Prisoners committed for trial are by local Ord. almost on the same terms as in Jervis' Act, to be informed that if they wish to make a statement they may do so, but that it will be taken down in writing and may be used in evidence, and although the Act of 30 and 31 Vic. has not been formally made law here yet the practice has been to allow prisoners to call witnesses as “meet and conducive to the ends of Justice.\" In his argument the learned counsel called our attention to Clarke's work on extradition and the rules of practice in different countries. At page 177 the learned author states in reference to English practice that \"when the fugitive is apprehended he is brought before the Police Magistrate, who hears the case in the same manner, and has the same jurisdiction and powers as near as may be as if the prisoner were charged with an indictable offence committed in England,\" and he may receive evidence to show that the offence is a political one and not an extradition crime. The writer then proceeds to discuss the question as to the duty of the Magistrate to receive evidence for the prisoner. He cites various opinions, and gives the views of the late Lord Cairns, who referred to the minutes of a Conference held at Paris wherein it was stated that a prisoner brought before a magistrate would be entitled to deny his identity with the person named in the warrant. Lord Cairns stated “that as to an accused person being precluded from entering into any other defence than a denial of his identity he differed entirely from that view, for he apprehended that it would be quite open to him to produce any evidence in his power to controvert the allegations made in the depositions.\" Clarke page 185. The writer seems to take the view that the Magistrate should only hear evidence for the prosecution except as to political offences or that the crime was not an extradition crime but with all respect to the learned author we think that the English practice and the demands of justice are in accord with Lord Cairns' view and his view that was announced by this Court in 1831. See judgment of the late Mr. Justice Snowdon, 18th Nov., 1831. From the form of warrant of committal under the Extradition Act of 1870 it would appear that the prisoner is brought before the Magistrate \"to show cause why he should not be surrendered in pursuance of the Extradition Act 1870, on the ground of his being accused of...\n\nand for as much as no sufficient cause has been shown to me why he should not be surrendered in pursuance of the said Act: This is therefore, &c.\" In Oke's Magisterial Synopsis 898, in the footnote 29, dealing with indictable offences, the author cites Mr. Justice Bagley in Cox v. Coleridge as saying \"I think that a Magistrate is clearly bound in the exercise of a sound discretion not to commit any one unless a prima facie case is made out against him by witnesses entitled to a reasonable degree of credit.\" Justices ought not therefore to balance the evidence and decide according as it preponderates, for this would in fact be taking upon themselves the functions of a petty jury and be trying the case. They should consider whether or not the evidence makes out a strong, or probable, or even a conflicting case of guilt. In any one of such cases they should commit the accused for trial. We think the above gives the true rule for dealing with extradition cases here, and the Magistrate should ask himself if the offence had been committed within this jurisdiction, should he commit for trial at the Supreme Court. If so he should commit under the Ordinance, and thus enable the Governor to carry out the treaty obligation. The Magistrate after investigating the case,\n\nOn the other hand, if as he does an indictable offence, comes to the conclusion that there is no probable cause for believing that the person before him committed the crimes charged, then he should not put it in the power of the Governor to deliver him up if he thought fit, but discharge him. It seems to us from a careful perusal of the documents before us that the sitting magistrate interprets prima facie case, and \"probable cause\" to mean evidence on one side—and on one side alone—but that is too narrow a meaning to put upon those terms. There may be a conflict of testimony and yet a prima facie case, or probable cause. The Magistrate refused evidence for the prisoner apparently because of some order or other that he got from the Executive Government. He does not, from the information before us, appear to have refused it of his own sense of right, and we think that in result, from whatever cause, an injustice has been done to the prisoner by the refusal of the evidence on his behalf pressed on the Magistrate. Mr. Justice Snowden in the case already cited stated that in the depositions there was no statement that the accused were called on to plead. Above all it does not appear that they were asked what they had to say in their defence although they might have been able to show beyond doubt, either mistaken identity or an alibi, or some defence within the province of the Magistrate to hear. No opportunity was afforded them to do so\". These observations we think are in accordance with justice and the present case is much stronger, for it appears that there were eight witnesses in attendance and tendered on behalf of the prisoner, and whether their evidence was worth anything or nothing in our judgment they should have been examined. On the evidence before the Magistrate there was sufficient grounds for committing the prisoner if he believed the witnesses. There was also sufficient evidence that he was a Chinese subject. For the reasons given above we think the warrant had on the face of it, and that the prisoner ought not to have been committed without being allowed to make any defence, and the Governor thus authorised if he thought fit to deliver Laung Afu to the Chinese Authorities. The deportation to another country for trial is a severe penalty in itself\" says Sir Edward Clarke at page 190 of his work on Rendition, and we think that justice requires the putting in force of the maxim audi alteram partem in rendition cases as well as in other matters. The prisoner is discharged.\n\nPage 202",

        "content_text": "Commerce, and one by the Justices of the Peace.\" In the original Bill sent up by the Sanitary Board it read as follows:- \"And four additional members, two to be appointed by the Governor and two to be elected by the tax-payers whose names appear on the special and common jury lists as well as those who are mentioned as being exempt by reason of their avocations.\" I think it is absolutely necessary that the franchise should be extended, at any rate as regards the Sanitary Board. On that point I am of opinion that it should be extended as regards this Council, but that is another matter. I would strongly urge the Government to have two Chinese and let the other three be elected by the taxpayers. To confine it to a clique like the Chamber of Commerce and the Justices of the Peace looks as if the Government was under the impression that no other ratepayers had any brains or common sense about them. I trust this matter will receive the attention of the Government before the Bill comes on again. Another point. I strongly advocate the proceedings of the Board should be held with open doors. I am bound to say I have undergone some change of view on that point. I thought it would be sufficient if the minutes were published, but I am sorry to see that at the last meeting, two of the subjects before the Board—I will not say they were important ones—but minutes of a certain amount of interest were framed—and I am at a loss to understand how it is they were not published in the Gazette. However that is a matter I intend to bring before the Chairman at the next meeting, and if necessary I shall allude to it again in this Council. One other point I shall allude to, which may be a minor one. In Section 3 Clause 2 it is called the Sanitary Board. When the Bill was sent up to the Government it was termed the Municipal Board of Health of Hongkong. There was a great amount of discussion on that point and no one was more strongly in favor of it than my hon. friend the Surveyor-General. (The Surveyor-General—Hear, hear). We hoped that this Board might in time extend itself to become really a Municipal Council. I may say I would myself have introduced a scheme to that effect last year, but seeing it is supposed to be the etiquette of the service that an Acting Governor during his administration does not inaugurate any new policy but is supposed to carry on the government on very much the same lines as those of the absent Governor—I think that has been very detrimental to this Colony, seeing its affairs have been administered by an Acting Governor for nearly four years. As regards the Bill itself, former Governors and present members of the Executive Council and Legislative Council have confessed the absolute necessity for sanitary reform in the colony, and I think a certain amount of blame attaches to them for not having pushed it forward. I congratulate your Excellency on having prevented this Bill being pigeon-holed, because it was sent up months ago, I think in March. At any rate, I know there has been plenty of time to bring it forward. It was only in November last year I brought several matters of detail concerning the Central Market to the notice of this Council and the Government. Hundreds of men sleeping amongst the food supply of the Colony, and the only privy accommodation a bucket, and would you believe it, Sir, that market is in the same condition in July of this year as in November last year, and nothing has been done. Your Excellency in your remarks about the Opium Bill said it was as if a Bill was ever passed, and I say the sanitary portion of this Bill is as desirable as any Bill that has ever been passed.\n\nThe SURVEYOR-GENERAL—Your Excellency has informed us through the Attorney-General that it was your intention to relegate the opposed clauses of this measure to the Building Act from which they were taken by the advice of one of Your Excellency's predecessors to be incorporated in the Bill before us. So long as there is adequate provision for light and for ventilation, for fore and aft ventilation if I may so call it, it is immaterial in what Bill that provision is made, but as to backyards and with regard to the desire of the advocates of this Bill to perpetuate in our midst the present type of Hongkong native tenement, which I may briefly describe as a barrack to back back without light or ventilation, I say that such tenements are an outrage to every maxim of sanitary law that has ever been laid down. If you say to me \"A backyard is unnecessary because the Chinese do not require light or ventilation, and because they are constituted differently from other people,\" then I utterly deny and controvert such a proposition. But if you acknowledge the necessity for such light and ventilation but say you cannot afford it on account of the undue sacrifice of property, then I say it would be the duty of this Government to address itself to the task of seeing how far the paramount interests of public health can be reconciled with those of property owners. My hon. friend opposite (Hon. A. P. MacEwen) has told us he visited with the hon. member who represents the Chinese community (Hon. Wong Shing) many houses where this backyard would be invaluable owing to the smallness of the area of the lots. Well, Sir, that may be so, but I would ask is there no modus vivendi, no possible way of overcoming the difficulty which has been raised in this connexion by the opponents of this Bill? Would it not be possible, apart from the question of compensation which has been mooted, for the Government perhaps to deal with the slums and fever dens of Taipingshan by purchasing them out and out at fair and equitable values and demolishing them, rebuilding them on sanitary principles, and reselling them again, perhaps giving the original owner the option of re-entering? Would it not be possible by some such scheme as that to obviate the deletion of these clauses from this Bill? I believe when we have passed from the present stage of effervescence to a stage of more calm consideration we shall find some means of reconciling these two interests. The question, Sir, of compensation has been mooted. I do not want to prejudge that question. I anticipate that at no distant date we may be called here to discuss these clauses, but I believe some objection has been taken to compensation for loss of area as being unjust to the general ratepayer. That is a question which will receive attention when the time comes, but I desire to call attention to one fact, and I am sure my hon. friend opposite (Hon. A. P. MacEwen) will bear me out in this. For many years past it has been the practice of landlords of new buildings to leave backyards of five, six, and some even seven feet in width, and therefore really the difference in the widths we see in the backyards of more modern buildings and the width prescribed in this Bill is much less than appears. It will not be a question of compensating for the loss of ten feet of area, but of compensating for the difference between that ten feet and the width which the property owners themselves of their own initiative have adopted. If hon. members will bear this in mind they will see at once that the enormously exaggerated sums which have been mentioned as required for compensation would be reduced very greatly, and might be entirely within the means of the Government, if combined with the purchase of those fever dens which are a direct menace to the health of the community generally. I therefore think this question of backyards, which after all appears to form the principal obstacle to the passing of this Bill, may be met. I think all interests may be reconciled and I am very sanguine that we shall find some means, when we come to deliberate on the Building Act, of meeting the views of all. With regard to the other objections that have been raised, it may be more proper that I should at present say nothing until we go into committee on this Bill or on the Building Act which I understand your Excellency intends to bring forward at an early period next session. I can only add, Sir, I wish hon. members of this Council would better appreciate the importance and necessity of adequate light and ventilation as set forth in those clauses of this Bill which provide for backyards. I am sure if some of the members of Council could be induced to imitate the example of your Excellency and of my hon. friend opposite (Hon. A. P. MacEwen) and spend some of the present close evenings in house to house rambles through Taipingshan it would be an admirable preparation for the time when we come to meet for the discussion of these clauses. Sir, I adhere to my advocacy of an adequate provision of light and ventilation as represented by the ten-foot backyards. There has been a good deal of abuse showered on me for this advocacy. I have been gibbeted as a schemer, a jobber, a wire-puller and smuggler, and by any number of other playful epithets, but, Sir, no cause was ever advanced, not even the cause against backyards, by descending to personal invective, and I am sure the intelligence of the Colony will ultimately recognise the immense importance of this provision of light and ventilation if we can find the modus vivendi, as I have said before. I am sure we would be able to pass the opposed clauses of this Bill if we adopted some such plan as I have briefly sketched to the Council.",

As His Excellency will doubtless remember, the prisoner who was committed to gaol at the same time as Chan Tik Cheong by Mr Wodehouse was released by the Supreme Court, which held that the warrant of detainer was bad on the face of it and that Mr Wodehouse ought to have heard the witnesses for the defence.\n\nWe understand that at that time Mr Stolmes had an assurance from the Government that if Leong Afu was released under the writ of habeas corpus, Chan Tik Cheong would also be released. In fact, Chan Tik Cheong was technically released under the same warrant, but as a new warrant had been obtained by Li Loi before Chan Tik Cheong came out of gaol, the latter did not, as a matter of fact, get out of gaol before he was again arrested.\n\nJudgment was given by the Full Court as to the release of Leong Afu on the 14th June, and a new warrant was obtained on the same day, and the prisoner who was rearrested on that day.\n\nAlthough Li Loi applied for this warrant on the 14th...",

Supposing therefore, Ordinances 2 of 1850 and 2 of 1871 not to be law; which, as we have above stated, seems extremely doubtful, then there is no legal provision whatever in existence which enables His Excellency the Governor to carry out the Tientsin Treaty and there is no law instancing under which Leung Afu can be detained or handed over.\n\nThere is no doubt that in England a treaty confirmed by Act of Parliament would be sufficient to enable a person to be given up. How far it is so in a Crown Colony I don't know. Supposing, as we say, that the local Ordinances are valid, we humbly submit to His Excellency that he cannot order Leung Afu to be delivered over to torture and execution by the Chinese Authorities unless he has been proved to be guilty of the offence charged against him by due process of law.\n\nWe think it hardly necessary to ask His Excellency to say that no inquiry has been done. What the magistrate, before whom the prisoners were brought, has done is this: he has made no enquiry or investigation into the guilt of Leung Afu, but he has - by a mistake and expression capable of misinterpretation - stated that he considers the charge brought forward by Li Loi to be false from beginning to end, and he has simply committed the prisoners to gaol because, reading his instructions from the Government as he does, he has no right to enquire into the guilt of the accused. All he can do is to register the statements made before him.\n\nWe do not intend to point out the contradictions and falsehoods contained in the depositions, as we should be repeating what our Barrister has already urged to the magistrate. Taken before Mr. Wodehouse, we would call attention to the fact that Si Lui, the cook, was not cross-examined, as his statement did not in any way implicate the 1st or 3rd prisoners, who at the time of his examination were the only two represented by solicitors - Woo Ah Chok was not cross-examined, as she incriminated none of the prisoners.\n\nHis Excellency will see from the dates upon which they were made that two of the witnesses, Fung Sai Junn and the landlord Luk Kai Tring, were examined after the hearing of the case. An information was taken out in which Si Loi and Leong Afu, Chinese mandarin and his principal witness, were charged with perjury at the instance of our Barrister. These two witnesses were cross-examined by Mr. J. J. Francis, Q.C., who appeared as Counsel for the defence, and their evidence was taken. It was just at the close of the examination of the landlord, Luk Kai Tring, that the magistrate was directed by the Attorney General, without any legal authority, to stay proceedings against Li Loi.\n\nThere being sufficient evidence before the magistrate to justify a committal for trial before the Supreme Court of Leong Afu for perjury, the Barrister did not see any necessity for calling further witnesses, but had Mr. Wodehouse allowed witnesses for the defence of Leong Afu to have been called, we were prepared to produce on his behalf all the witnesses whose declarations we enclose.\n\nIn conclusion, we again ask His Excellency...",

The said Chan Tik Cheung is at present detained in Victoria Gaol, where he is under remand on a charge of burglary and murder in Chinese Territory.\n\n3. While the charge against the said Chan Tik Cheung was proceeding before H. E. Wodehouse, Esq., one of the magistrates of this Colony, a man named Ho Kai gave evidence on behalf of the three prisoners, of whom the said Chan Tik Cheung was one.\n\n4. The said Ho Kai gave material evidence for the defence of the said prisoners and upon the above-named Leong Ayau being charged with perjury before E. Maclean, Esq., another of the magistrates of this Colony, the said Ho Kai was examined for the prosecution and gave material evidence against the prisoner Leong Ayau.\n\n5. In the said charge of burglary and murder preferred against Chan Tik Cheung and others, a person described as Li Loi signed the information upon which His Excellency the Acting Governor directed warrants to issue for the arrest of the said Chan Tik Cheung and others.\n\n6. During the prosecution of the said Chan Tik Cheung and others, the said Li Loi appeared in Court and instructed the solicitor who was conducting the case of the prosecution.\n\n7. On Saturday, the 26th day of March, 1887, the said Leong Ayau was committed for trial to the Supreme Court on a charge of perjury committed in the said case against Chan Tik Cheung and others.\n\n8. On the following day, that is on Sunday the 27th day of March, at about 1 a.m., the above-mentioned Ho Kai came to my house and in the presence of Chow Afung and others informed me that since he had been examined as a witness in the case of Regina v. Leong Ayau the above-named Li Loi had sent a large number of soldiers to Sam Kwai, the native village of the Ho Kai, that he had arrested two of the gentry, two ti-poes, the said Ho Kai's elder brother and several of the clansmen of the said Ho Kai, about 20 persons in all.\n\n9. The said Ho Kai further said that the said Li Loi had billeted about 100 soldiers in the ancestral temple of the said Ho Kai at Sam Kwai aforesaid and that the family of the said Ho Kai were compelled to supply the said soldiers with food.\n\n10. The said Ho Kai further said that he had been provided with clothes and a passage to Singapore and that he could not attend any further in Court to give evidence on behalf of my husband or against the said Leong Ayau, as if he did so the said Li Loi would punish him and his relations.\n\n11. When the said Ho Kai said this he was armed with a loaded revolver.\n\n12. I verily believe the statement of the said Ho Kai to be true and that he is prevented by the said Li Loi from attending before the Supreme Court in the trial of the said Leong Ayau to give evidence.\n\nAnd I make, &c.\n\n**NG AYUK**\n\n(Her X mark.)",

        "content_text": "# SUPREME COURT.\n\n## IN APPELLATE JURISDICTION.\n\n### (Before the Full Court.)\n\nTuesday, June 14.\n\n## THE RENDITION CASE.\n\nTheir Lordships delivered the following judgment this morning on Mr Dennys' application for a writ of habeas corpus in the case of Leung Afu:\n\nOn the application of Mr Dennys, supported by two affidavits - one by himself and the other by Leung Afu, a prisoner in the Victoria Gaol, committed under the Extradition Ordinance, Leung Afu was brought before the Court on a writ of habeas corpus. To his return to the writ, the Superintendent of the Gaol annexes the warrant under which he holds the prisoner, which is as follows:\n\nBe it remembered that on the twenty-ninth day of April, in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven, whereas Trang Chun alias Leung Fu was on this day duly convicted before Henry Ernest Wodehouse, Esq., C.M.G., a Police Magistrate and one of Her Majesty's Justices of the Peace in and for the said Colony, for that communication having been received requiring the rendition of the said defendant on behalf of the Chinese Government as a subject of China and as having committed certain crimes or offences against the laws of China by having committed murder and burglary within the jurisdiction of the Emperor of China, and it appearing to me upon investigation of the case, that there is cause to believe that the said defendant is a subject of China, and has committed the crimes or offences against the laws of China by having committed murder and burglary within the jurisdiction of the Emperor of China, and it was thereupon adjudged that the said defendant for the said crimes or offences should be committed to gaol for detention pending the receipt of an order from the Governor or Officer Administering the Government of Hongkong as to his further disposal.\n\nThese are therefore to command you, the said constable, to take the said defendant and him safely to convey to the said gaol and there to deliver him to the said superintendent or keeper thereof, together with this precept, and I do hereby command you, the said superintendent or keeper, to receive the said defendant into your custody in the said gaol and there to imprison him as aforesaid.\n\nGiven under my hand and seal at Victoria aforesaid this twenty-ninth day of April in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven.\n\n(Sd.) H. E. WODEHOUSE,\nPolice Magistrate.\n\nNotice of a writ of certiorari was served, and this writ was moved for, and the proceedings before the magistrate were brought into court by the magistrate himself and were referred to in the argument on the return of the writ of habeas corpus. Mr Francis, Q.C., appeared on behalf of the Chinese Government to support the warrant of commitment. The committing magistrate appeared in person and handed in the proceedings. The Acting Attorney General appeared to watch the case on behalf of the Government, but took no part in the proceedings. Mr Dennys, for the prisoner, by special leave, in the absence of Counsel, argued that the prisoner was detained on a warrant which was bad on the face of it, as there was no offence recited over which the magistrate had jurisdiction. He cited *Regina v. King*, 13 L.J.M.C., 43, and other cases, which we have examined. The warrants in these cases omitted to state the gist of the offences for which the magistrates committed. In the matter of *Peerless*, 1 A. and E., (N. S.), bears most on this matter.\n\nIt appears from the proceedings at the Police Court that the prisoner and two others were charged on the 19th February last, as subjects of China, with murder and burglary within the jurisdiction of the Emperor of China on the 9th October last. Several examinations took place, and in the course of the proceedings, Mr Dennys alleged that one of the principal witnesses for the Chinese authorities had committed perjury, and the man was charged with it, and the investigation of the case against Leung Afu and the others was postponed, pending the trial of this witness for perjury. It appears that although the witness was committed for trial for perjury, the Attorney General, for reasons no doubt satisfactory to the Crown, entered a nolle prosequi, and proceedings against the prisoner were thus abandoned. After this, the rendition case was resumed, and it appears from the affidavit and from the Magistrate's own notes that the Magistrate refused to hear any evidence on behalf of the prisoners, although Mr Dennys, on behalf of one prisoner, and Mr Holmes, on behalf of another, asked to be allowed to produce evidence.\n\nIn rendition cases, subjects of Chinese in this Colony, the procedure and powers of the magistrates are to be found in Ord. 2 of 1850 and Ord. 2 of 1871. Ord. 2 of 1850 was passed to carry out the treaty of the Bogue, which provided for rendition of Chinese subjects to the Chinese Government who had committed crimes and offences in China. Ord. 2 of 1871 was passed as a declaratory Ordinance - declaring that 2 of 1850 was to apply to the Treaty of Tientsin, the 21st Article of which provides for the rendition to China of Chinese criminals escaping here on 'proof of guilt.' Mr Dennys argued that 'proof of guilt' meant complete proof, and amplified the words in the Ordinance 2 of 1850 in favour of the accused.\n\nThe learned Counsel for the Chinese Government argued that the Court, Magistrate, and Government will only look to Ordinance 2 of 1850, as declared by 2 of 1871. Section I of Ordinance 2 of 1850 gives power to the magistrate to detain Chinese subjects having committed offences against the laws of China and being then in Hongkong: (1) if a complaint has been made by any officer of the Chinese Government; or (2) if it appear in the course of investigating any other matter, that a Chinese subject has committed an offence against the laws of China; or (3) if such person be already in custody, it shall be lawful to detain such person, and to investigate the alleged crime or offence in the same manner as if such person were charged with a crime or indictable offence committed within the colony. Section III says that if at the close of this investigation, it shall appear to the Magistrate or Court that such person as aforesaid is a subject of China, and that there is probable cause for believing that the said person has committed such crime or offence, it shall and may be lawful for such Magistrate or Court to commit such person for safe custody to prison, and to direct the Gaoler to detain such person in prison until the said Gaoler shall receive some order from the Governor of Hongkong, relative to the further detention, discharge, or transmission of such prisoner to the nearest Chinese authorities, as to the Governor shall seem fit: and the Magistrate or Court shall, upon making such committal as aforesaid, transmit to the Governor of Hongkong the minutes of such investigation &c.\n\nNow, under the warrant of the magistrate, the prisoner Leung Afu was committed to gaol on 29th April 1887, pending the orders of the Governor as to his further disposal, it appearing to the said magistrate, upon investigation of the case, that there is cause to believe that the prisoner was a subject of China, and had committed crimes and offences, viz., burglary and murder, within the Empire of China. It is not stated in the warrant when the murder and burglary were committed, nor is there any reference to the Act or Ordinance giving the Magistrate jurisdiction.\n\nIn the case of Young Achan and 12 others, brought before this Court in Nov. 1881, the late Mr Justice Snowden, in ordering the discharge of the prisoners, although the warrant stated on the face of it that it was under Ordinance 2 of 1859, Sec. III, said: 'I am unable to discover when the form now in use was adopted in this Colony. I find that the form of conviction appended to Ord. 10 of 1844 still in force requires the following particulars - setting out the information, and if the conviction is made for an offence against any Statute or Ordinance, to state... \n## Page 103",

        "content_text": "## Chusan. \nThe popularity which the General has gained both with the troops under his command, and with all classes of the community was evidenced in the most emphatic manner.\n\nAt Murray Wharf, where His Excellency embarked, a guard of honour from the Buffs, under Major Howarth, and the Band of the Regiment were drawn up to give a parting salute. Shortly after three o'clock the General's party, among whom was His Excellency the Governor, arrived at Murray Wharf, where they were met by His Excellency Major-General Cameron, and most of the officers of the garrison. During the general leave-taking which followed, the guard saluted, and the men of the regiment and garrison, who were present in strong force, showed their appreciation for the General by cheering most demonstratively. Their Excellencies the Governor and General Cameron having taken leave of General Sargent and his family on the wharf, the party embarked on board the launch, and as they did so, the Band played \"Auld Lang Syne,\" the battery fired a salute, the guard saluted, and the men of the Regiment again gave three lusty cheers for the departing General. Salutes were also fired from the Victor Emanuel and Admiral Davis' flagship, the Trenton. \n\nOn board the steamer the proceedings were equally demonstrative. From three o'clock onwards a continuous stream of launches and boats flocked alongside with large parties of ladies and gentlemen intent on showing their respect and appreciation for General Sargent and his family, and when the farewell Address was presented the gathering was probably larger than has ever assembled on board a steamer in this harbour for any similar purpose.\n\nWith not more than two exceptions all the members of the Legislative Council were present, the members of the Staff were fully represented, and there was a large concourse of the community. During the presentation of the Address, which took place on the upper deck, on the port side aft, the applause was frequent, hearty, and genuine, and the terms of the Address itself seemed to fully and correctly express the feelings of all present. The Committee who prepared the Address deserve the hearty thanks of the community for the appropriate and happy manner in which they discharged this duty.\n\n## From the Hongkong Daily Press, March 31st, 1885.\n\nIt is with sincere satisfaction we note that the Hongkong community do not intend to allow His Excellency Lieut.-General Sargent, C.B., to take his departure from the Colony without some expression of their esteem and goodwill. During the three years he has held the Command of Her Majesty's Forces here, General Sargent has won golden opinions both for his qualities as a soldier and for his character as a private gentleman. Virtus est militas decus, and valour is unquestionably a special virtue of General Sargent's, who is every inch a soldier. He has proved this many times during his eventful career, and he is not only courageous to a fault, but is always ready. He has never allowed red tape to hamper him in the execution of his duty when promptitude was an obvious necessity. When the anti-foreign riots broke out in Canton in September, 1883, and part of Shameen was destroyed, the General was immediately to the fore with offers of assistance, and a company of The Buffs was kept in readiness to proceed at a minute's notice to the City of Rams if needed. Similarly during the riots in this Colony in October last His Excellency was quick to afford the services of the troops, whose presence alone on the scene fortunately served to cowe the ill-disposed, and prevent any further bloodshed or violence. On all occasions General Sargent has shown himself eager to co-operate with the Civil authorities in putting down any attempt at disorder, and his assistance has invariably been afforded in the freest and most unhesitating manner. He has laboured hard and unremittingly during his stay here to impress upon the War Office the urgent importance of effectively fortifying the port and also of augmenting the garrison. It is certainly no fault of the General's that Hongkong has not been made the Gibraltar of the Far East, but his efforts have not been without some result. During his residence among us General Sargent has identified himself with the interests and amusements of the residents, lending liberal support to all deserving objects, and taking special delight in encouraging harmless recreations among the soldiers of the Garrison. His hospitality at ... \n\nPage 203",

        "content_text": "# the Establishment by Pension\n\nDr. Thang King are not mainly holders of the permanent appointments and holders of them are entirely entitled to pensions. Women Chiefs are not mainly holders of the permanent appointments.\n\nI think the Private Secretaries to Governors should not be entitled to pensions as their service terminates upon the death or departure of the Governor. To pick out the Private Secretaries to be pensioned will be difficult.\n\nIn Extra Colonies, whether there is any necessity for the present arrangement is a matter for consideration. Apparently, they get on very well with permanent clerks.\n\nIn Mauritius, it would be probably better to adopt the Indian plan, but in the other three Colonies, they prefer to retain their patronage.\n\nI think it simple, without causing offense, to suggest that Private Secretaries should be treated as being in a different category.\n\nThe principle of the privilege has been conceded, but the manner in which the appointments have been made is not uniform. Judges are appointed by the Secretary of State, and the fact is that the CO's quarterly schedule of patronage is not adhered to.\n\nLord Grey's despatch to Lord Knutsford, HW.J.11/19788, dated 548, discusses the question of whether there should be a uniform rule, and what that rule should be. It is suggested that a Civil Servant who has served for a period of 10 years, the period after which a Civil Servant's pension accrues, should be entitled to pension on retiring from ill health.\n\nRe: Oct 12  \nMatters have somewhat changed since 1845, and I think the proper officials now have the right to appoint their Clerks without the approval of the Secretary of State being required.\n\nThe practice varies very much. Apart from the history, my general view is that it would be better to have a Circular that is finally binding.\n\nK 13/10  \nIsland FO  \nAff Circular  \nK13/10  \n\"alone Rutton 17\"",

Ordinance 6. 4.1860 transferred all powers & rights vested in or exercisable by the Officers of the Crown to the Governor, but here we are concerned with whether it conferred any greater powers or rights than those already specified by the Ordinance.\n\nThe end of the argument is important for if Military Lands are held without reference to the Governor, this power extends to the forts recently constructed by the Colonial Government.\n\nIf the above view of the legal status is correct, the military authorities are not at fault for the disposal of lands so long as they are in the possession of the military officers for Military purposes.\n\nIt should be pointed out that they cannot act without the assistance of the Governor; it is desirable for the departments to work together in this business.\n\nPar. 16 of the despatch is incorrect, as regards Lot 22, for the Military Authorities have bought from a private holder at the Murther boundary of the lot (see extract from despatch & `GR6969`) high water mark. The Colonial fort might probably be prevented from interfering with their access to the sea.\n\nOn the other hand, it cannot be admitted that the right of inspection of and gives the Military a right of ownership in the foreshore in front of the land they occupy.\n\nThere is a minor point on the Admiralty question; you will note that in Despatch `No. Vaux` anything short of 9 days if Admiralty declines to pay the Colony should still be considered an immediate refusal, & Admiralty should be informed in a separate or confidential despatch. We must therefore be writing to Admiralty as at once than sentiments after advantage mentioned & must why the despatch in M.S. P. London draft & `Saf. D. de Vore Fullerton` fit his despatch. Reprinted with mark `Shimm Js.1074` Reust aft `Ku 21114`.\n\nI have seen Colonel Lucock & am glad to find they now admit in principle (but conditionally as yet) the propriety of Colony Contributing Towards the Scheme of `XCR(85)72` by harbour works. Konstage = but Treasury is so slow that if the departments come to terms the sanction of my Lordship will delay the settlement. Colonel Lucock thinks that the owners of the North Barrack keep the reclamation in abeyance in order to sell & \n\n# Lord Ripon \n\nfailed from than a right to the presipiin, but not a right of alienating the land. I do not think this be so; any attempt to pull in the open Markets as suggested in paragraph 10 of the despatch.\n\nThe Military authorities and the fact that the farmers are instructed by the military officers for Military purposes.\n\nIt is desirable for the departments & work together in this business.\n\n| Col | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Lot 22 | Bought from private holder at Murther boundary |\n\nPage 363",

Price went from S. Leone to Hongkong without waiting any length of time, but it appears from `2976/73` (herewith) that he allowed himself half, or nearly three months in England on his way from Hongkong. Though he asked for that for relaxation, it was only granted in order that he should assist Sir R.

        "content_text": "After having heard this sad news, Your Excellency, I walked aft and asked the Captain how he had me intoxicated and put on board in a state of inebriation. Furthermore, without signing any agreement to bind myself in writing, he had taken me merely as a slave and put me on board and compelled me to work against my will. I asked him to go ashore and called for his shore boat. He said to me that I was not to do any thing of the sort, that I must get to work or else he will break my bones, according to the other four of them. They hardly could speak English and were frightened to face him. So, Your Excellency, we turned to and worked, saying that whenever we reached Manila, we will have our case tried before the Consul.\n\nSame day, Your Excellency, the ship got underway. On November [illegible], we reached Manila, Philippine Islands. Leave was asked from the Captain to see the Consul. He told us to wait and unbend all the ship's sails and have her painted, and thence he would take us to the Consul. In December, Your Excellency, everything was completely done. When he saw an English man-of-war coming, he would not allow us to go until the man-of-war left. Next day, after the departure of the man-of-war, he took three of them ashore first. He made it up with the Consul and had these three fortunate foreigners put to good use. The day after, Your Excellency, I was taken ashore as I could speak English. He couldn't make things so bad, but I had to do what they told me or...",

The stern was also well above water as the ship was drawing aft 18 feet, her loaded draft being 21 feet aft.\n\n4 \n\n... \n\nIt is certain that she had not hoisted her play ensign at the time, as it is not usual for merchant vessels to fly the ensign at sea, and there was no reason to do so.\n\n20. \n\nI may say, however, that it had been hoisted when passing Chapel Gland at 9.52 that morning, and was handed down again. As we had seen the French vessel's ensign for more than an hour previous to this, it is evident that our ensign could at that time have been seen by those on board the \"Forfait.\" The constantly altered route and speed are seen in the Log book. At 8.00 A.M. the course was made S. 45° W., at 1.00 p.m. it was altered to S. 40° W. and this was steered till 3.12 p.m. when the course S.45° W. was resumed again. In 7 hours the course was altered once and then only, namely. The speed was the same, \"ordinary full speed\", until the second gun was fired, when I telegraphed \"stand by\", at 1.15 half speed, at 1.20 full speed.\n\nI watched the officers of the \"Forfait\" with inexplicable persistence, this was owing to the evident efforts being made by the \"Forfait\" to overtake the \"Jaiquan\" and by a natural interest on what pace the \"Forfait\" was making.",

No.21322, they were careful to give the Government of Hong Kong every advantage as to quality and price, a reduction being made in several instances for bulk quantities ordered. This applies especially to half a ton of linseed meal, for which £6-15-0 was charged, being less than that quoted by the Government Analyst from the list of Messrs Burgoyne & Co. In this article, as in all others, the Society did their best to meet the requirements of the Colony; the prices were definitely consistent with the goods supplied.\n\nThe Society notice that the Government Analyst has not apparently fully considered the fluctuations of the market in respect to certain drugs. They desire to point out that no complaint is made respecting the quality of goods which have been supplied.\n\n1.",

If it were proved i that we, a Christian Government, wera giving up men to he tortured, it would be at once brought before the English Parliament and there would be very serious trouble. Yet I see nothing in this Bill about it. The idea that we should i take statements from the Chinose Courts is ab- sard, because there is no such thing, that is to say there is nothing resembling our English Courts. The question is, shall we give up men who have been only a month or two in the colony, to be tortured? Is such a proceeding right? You would not hud any Consul in China who would give security that the men should not 'og' tortured. I have spoken to many of the Consula about the matter. Are we, as part of the British uation, to give up these poor creatures to be for- tured ?

The business of every licensed publican or adjunct licensee shall be carried on subject to the following regulations:\n| Regulation | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| (1) | No liquor shall be sold or drunk on the premises licensed except between such hours as the Magistrate shall enter on the certificate to be granted under Section 12. |\n| (2) | No disorder shall be permitted on the premises. |\n| (3) | No person shall be allowed to become drunk on the premises, nor shall liquor be supplied to any person who is drunk. |\n| (4) | No game of chance shall be played on the premises. |\n| (5) | A decent and suitable privy and urinal shall be maintained in a state of cleanliness and good repair for the use of customers. |\n| (6) | The licensee shall not abandon the occupation of his house, or permit any other person to become virtually the keeper thereof. |\n| (7) | The licensee shall not employ any person to sell or dispose of any liquors outside of his licensed premises, nor shall he allow or suffer any liquors to be so disposed of on his account. |\n\n21. When any licensed publican or adjunct licensee shall be charged with any offence under this Ordinance and shall not appear to answer to such charge, it shall be lawful for any Magistrate to order that the recognisance of such licensed publican or adjunct licensee be forfeited until his appearance, and in case any licensed publican or adjunct licensee be twice convicted of any offence under this Ordinance, it shall be lawful for the Magistrate to order, on the second conviction, that any fine imposed on such offender, not exceeding the amount of his recognisances, be paid by his sureties.\n\n22. No licensed publican or adjunct licensee shall maintain any action for, or recover any debt or demand on account of intoxicating liquors, unless such debt shall bona fide have been contracted at one time to the amount of five dollars or upwards, nor shall any item in any account for such liquors be allowed where the liquors bona fide delivered at one time shall not amount to the full sum of five dollars, nor shall any claim against any seaman or soldier in Her Majesty's service for debt for intoxicating liquors supplied be allowed : Provided always that nothing herein contained shall extend to prevent innkeepers from keeping an account with lodgers and travellers, in which any charge for liquors may be included, and recovering the amount thereof in a Court of Justice.\n\n## General Provisions\n\n23. No person licensed under this Ordinance shall take or receive in payment or pledge for liquor or any entertainment whatever supplied in or out of his house any article or thing whatever except money.\n\n24. Every person licensed under this Ordinance shall sell and dispose of his liquors by the measures or weights legalised in this Colony and not otherwise, except when the quantity is less than half a pint, or except when the liquor is sold in bottles, and shall also measure or weigh such liquors in the presence of any customer who may require him to do so.\n\n25. If any person be convicted of unlawfully retailing any intoxicating liquor, the house and premises of such person, and the house, lodging, shop, or warehouse where such offence shall have been committed, and any court or yard connected therewith, shall be liable to be searched at any time of the day or night, by any police officer, with or without warrant, for six months next after such conviction, provided that the same or any part thereof shall be then occupied by the person so convicted.\n\n26. Whenever any police officer shall find any person drinking in any place in which any intoxicating liquor shall be sold or disposed of by retail, and the license for such sale shall not on demand be produced to such police officer, it shall be lawful for such police officer to apprehend all such persons so found drinking there; and every such person so found drinking shall, if such place is in fact unlicensed, forfeit and pay on summary conviction for every such offence a sum not exceeding twenty dollars, unless such person shall inform against such unlicensed person or voluntarily become a witness against him, in respect of such act of selling and retailing.\n\n27. No master or other person employing journeymen, workmen, servants, or labourers, and not being the licensed keeper of the house hereinafter mentioned, shall pay or cause any payment to be made to any such journeyman, workman, or labourer in or at any house in which any intoxicating liquor is sold by retail.\n\n## Wholesale and Grocer's Licenses\n\n28.

Such license may be renewed annually on like conditions.\n\n29. It shall be lawful for the Governor in Council from time to time to make, alter, amend and repeal regulations and conditions for the granting of Wholesale and Grocer's licenses. Such regulations or conditions may require the providing by applicants of one or more sureties, may alter the scale of fees, may regulate the times of commencement and expiry of such licenses, the hours and conditions of sale, and all other matters connected with such licenses. All such regulations when published in the Government Gazette shall have the force of law.\n\n## Chinese Wine and Spirit Shop Licenses\n\n30.

The fee for such license shall be that specified in schedule S and shall be paid to the Treasurer. The Colonial Secretary may permit the transfer of any such license in form of schedule O.\n\n## Chinese Restaurant Licenses\n\n31.(1) Where the keeper of any Chinese hotel, or restaurant, or eating-house or other place where meals or food are supplied to persons not resident on the premises, is desirous of supplying intoxicating liquor to customers with their meals, such keeper may apply to the Colonial Secretary for a Chinese Restaurant license.

        "content_text": "## THE LANDING\n\nIt was nearly 11.15 when Meugens crept out round the point as close in to the rocks in the shadow as he dared in the `Lun On`, with all lights screened and a bag kept constantly wet about a foot above the mouth of the funnel to choke the sparks. Creeping round, the three vessels were found to be moored head and stern broadside on to the beach, about five cables inside the island, not 400 yards from the shore. Derricks were rigged and on both sides pontoons, guns and troop-boats were being hoisted out. Boats from the davits had been lowered and were being rapidly filled with men. The most admirable order was maintained, and almost perfect silence observed; only very occasionally gleams of light were visible.\n\nThe `Lun On`, which had approached to about 300 yards, was then backed, but whilst turning was perceived and chased by a small pinnace that shot out from under the bows of the Saratoff, the most westerly of the enemy's troopers. The `Lun On` was driven full speed for the Aberdeen passage, expecting every moment to be fired on. The enemy, however, evidently desired to capture her. Morrison (who had been recalled from the Water Police gig), accompanied McNab and the two remaining Indian Constables by road to Deep Water Bay, orders being left with Findlay that when the other two Indians arrived they were to be sent on after them.\n\n11\n\nwhich afterwards proved to be the Saratoff, of 3,458 tons, Capt. Stromsky, the Yaroslav, 2871 tons, Capt. Ostolopoff, and the Moskou, 2245 tons, Capt. Andrief—headed in for Deep Water Bay (where we have had many a jolly afternoon's golf together, but never shall again). A large junk that was hovering off the entrance to the Bay suddenly showed a green flash to seaward, which was immediately answered by two short red flashes from the forecastle of the Saratoff, the leading ship. The junk immediately turned Northwards and preceded the strangers in towards Deep Water Bay. The whole proceedings were so suspicious that Meugens and Hazeland, who had lifted their anchor, and paddled so in softly towards the bay at the approach of the vessels on seeing the exchange of signals, at once sheered off to the N.W. for Aberdeen, pulling as hard as they could. At the first splash of their oars they were hailed from the Saratoff in Chinese (which Hazeland spoke fluently), and bidden to come alongside, being promised a good price for their fish. Disregarding the hail, however, they pulled hard for Aberdeen, and on landing rushed up to the Police Station where they only found one Scotch Constable—Robert Findlay—who, after some demur, consented to telephone to the Central Police Station in Victoria.\n\nThere being no rockets or other fireworks at the Station that could be used for signalling, it was arranged that two or more rifle shots would signify \"Enemy landing,\" which was to be at once telephoned to the Central. Two blasts of the steam-whistle in quick succession was to convey the same meaning. Though there were stables, there were no Police horses at Aberdeen, so Mr Kerr, the Superintendent of the Aberdeen Dock (then not in use), and the only other European in the place (Duncan, the clerk, being absent), volunteered to carry information by the Pokfolum Road, travelling on his bicycle. Kerr had been roused by McNab's orders. A telephone had been received from Cuthbert at Pokfolum Station, stating that nothing was in sight in Telegraph or Sandy Bays, in reply to one from Aberdeen. After that nothing more came from Pokfolum—the wire had been cut, and it is impossible to doubt in the light of after events, but that French agents, who had represented themselves as Destitutes and been cared for by the Fathers at Douglas Castle, destroyed the line.\n\nBy midnight all the telephone wires throughout the island were cut. Being Government lines the mere non-working would under ordinary circumstances have aroused no suspicion—interruption of communications being very frequent. All the cables had, however, ceased to work, and the land lines to Canton were found to be interrupted. It was very easy to fish up the shore ends of the cable from junks in Telegraph and Deep Water Bays. It was subsequently discovered that the Gap Rock had been taken possession of at 7 P.M. The light was of course kept going.\n\nBut for the accident of the premature discovery by Hazeland and Meugens, in another hour or so no communication by telephone could have been made. Findlay was left at the Aberdeen Police Station with five Chinese Water Police Constables armed with cutlasses, and two of the land force, the latter having been dispatched the preconcerted message \"Enemy landing,\" the last from Aberdeen, no almost immediately afterwards, before Meugens landed, telephonic communication ceased.\n\nAfter the whistle had been blown Meugens rushed the launch in amongst the sampans, in the bight between the Docks and Aberdeen village, till she grounded; whilst doing so a lamp capsized in one of the boats rushed past, immediately setting fire to the matting in her—giving Meugens the idea of firing the launch, which was done by Morrison breaking the engine room lamps over an old awning aft and a pile of bedding in the cabin forward. The pinnace did not pursue the launch amongst the boats, being too slight, but stopped outside firing at her, killing one of the Chinese crew who was crouching down forward, and hitting Meugens twice at the wheel, once in the neck, once in the left shoulder.\n\nOn jumping overboard Morrison continued setting fire to the sampans, turning out the occupants into the shallow water, and firing the boats with their own lamps, the roofs burning brightly, until he was shot through the head from the pinnace, not, however, till the boats over a large...",

Kitaeff, with 750 men of the Nerchitinsk regiment aboard, accompanied by the Torpedo Destroyers Borgo and Revel, under Lt.-Commanders Ptachimoskey and Troyaa, had, passing well to the Westward of the Little Ladrones, suddenly appeared off the Chinese Customs Station at Chung Chow in the Macao Passage.\n\nThe Commodore was playing whist aboard the Victor Emanuel at 11.10 p.m., when Mackie's letter was delivered to him. De Horsey of the Plover, his own Commander (Naylor) and Barlyou Cellairs, his torpedo lieutenant, were of the party. The Wivern had only the week before had her half-yearly commission and cruise, so she was coaled, but her provisions and ammunition had been returned into store.\n\nLanding a hundred and fifty soldiers, they took possession of the Station and seized the two armed Customs launches, the Chop Sing and Hai Kwan. The Chop Sing was sent to cruise off Green Island, where, even if she had been observed, she would be recognized as a Customs launch and would excite no suspicion—it being the usual cruising ground for watching for opium smugglers from the Colony.\n\nNaylor and his ship's company were at once sent off to the Wivern, off the Torpedo Depot, to get up steam, and seamen and stokers from the Plover sent to man the Tweed. Lt. Flumer was sent down to the town to get hold of any large launches that had steam up (fires being out in the Dockyard boats) to tow the Wivern and Tweed across to the Man-of-War anchorage to facilitate putting their ammunition on board. Brice-Prowne, the Lieutenant of Marines, was ordered to parade his men and proceed to the scene of action. The Plover's Marines were to join his party. Cellairs and his two torpedo gunners (Smith and Tanyard), as well as the Gunner of the Victor (Larka), proceeded to the Torpedo Depot.\n\nProceeding with all despatch, the Harbarovsk and two Destroyers, going North of Lantao, stopped at 9.30 p.m. off Cap-sui-moon. That station was also seized and held, with two hundred men; the two armed launches Kose Shui and Fun Say being taken possession of. Pushing on to Chin Wan Bay, the Destroyers ran alongside and captured the Feihoo, Chinese Revenue Cruiser, whilst the Harbarovsk went in as close as the water allowed, and with the aid of native boats quickly landed 300 men to cut the land lines and patrol the short strip to Tolo Harbour.\n\nHaving dropped her men, the Harbarovsk, accompanied by the Feihoo, the Revel, and Kow Shui, proceeded for Green Island about midnight, sweeping well round to the Westward. The Fan Son was left at Cap-sui-moon to bring to everything that passed. The crews of all the junks, boats, etc., there being landed on the island, the vessels were scuttled. The Borgo, as soon as the Feihoo had been seized, proceeded just full speed up the River, and about 15 miles above Deep Bay ran alongside the Fatshan (Capt. Dick) and Powan (Capt. Goggin) and captured them.\n\n11 -\n\nLeaving prize crews on board, the Pasig and Tai On were similarly seized, about two miles farther up. Leaving her prizes with orders to follow as fast as they could, the Borgo returned at her utmost speed to rejoin her consorts at the rendezvous off Green Island.\n\nA third Destroyer, the Soeaborg (Lt.-Comr. Chriptovitch), had accompanied the large troopers, keeping about a mile to the eastward, and so had not been seen and reported by Meugena and Hazeland. This vessel had seized the armed Custom's launch Kaipan Lu off Stanley, and with her had remained patrolling the mouth of Deep Water Bay to cover the troopers. Each transport had moreover carried two second-class torpedo boats, which had been hoisted out before a troop-boat was lowered.\n\nMajor Findley, R.E., as soon as he had sent arms and ammunition up by tram for the Engineers at Mount Austin, betook himself to his station in the West, and as soon as steam could be raised in the Solent, with Tundall and Standardman, and several passenger launches, was busy laying mines. Mugent, Johnson, and Rabber, with the Miner, and other launches, had gone to their stations at Lyeemun and Stonecutters, and were similarly employed.\n\nThe Harbour was ablaze with lights. Steam had been got up for the dynamos, and the search-lights were playing in all directions. The merchant ships were all getting up steam; before, however, they could move, Lieut.-Commdr. De Horsey, and Sub-Lt. Dayley, with a first sufficient force, were sent round all the foreign vessels by the Commodore's orders to disable their engines by taking off their eccentric straps. The sailing ships had neither crews on board nor sails bent.\n\nIt not being known yet what nation or nations were making this treacherous attack on us, the Commodore swore all should suffer alike. British vessels, under the directions of the Queen's Harbour Master Staff Commander Jones, and the Master Attendant of the Yard (Commander Harnot Enderson), were being moored in tiers in Wanchai, as close in as the depth of water would allow. Nine German, one Swede, and two Chinese, three Japanese, and two Norwegian steamers were left at their moorings. Neither Frenchmen nor Danes were in the port. The native craft were making over to Sam Shui Po as fast as they could.\n\nNo launches were allowed to leave, all being requisitioned for Naval and Military use. Naylor was ready to start by 2 a.m. in the Wivern, with Flumer in the Tweed, Cellairs in a launch, with two second-class torpedo boats broad on each bow, about a quarter of a mile off and a cable apart.\n\nThe Feihoo lay with a kedge down about a mile S.S.W. covered by Green Island from Stonecutters, with the Borgo on her starboard, and Revel on her port quarter well aft and almost astern, and two second-class torpedo boats at anchor as close as they could get to the rocks under Mount Davis, just round S. and E. of the range-finding staff.\n\n14 -",

Finding herself discovered, Larke and Super respectively in 2nd class torpedo boats Nos. 33, 34, 35, and 36 proceeded West down the Harbour. The Koi Shui opened fire at the Torpedo boat from her fore turret, at the same time slipping she sheered to port, blazing away from the after turret also as soon as it bore. Smith returned the fire with two rifles and went ahead full speed; the Kam Ling also pursued, firing the boat's gun. The Torpedo boats 71 and 72, two cables apart in line abreast, led, followed by 34, 35, and 36. 34 was one cable astern of 71 and 36 the same distance astern of 72; 35 one cable from 34 and 36. The Wivern followed a cable astern of 35, and the Tweed one cable on her starboard quarter.\n\nTorpedo boat No. 33 was sent ahead about three cables on the starboard bow of 72, with the Kam Ling in support, on her port quarter.\n\n|  |  | \nN \nGreenp Id \n33 42.35°Wivern \n34 \nK \n·Sulphur Channel, \n5 \nFeikoo \nReveb Borgo \n0. \nM+ |\n\nThe flames came roaring up, roasting Smith's back, but he clung to the helm, and headed straight for the Kow Shui's funnel as she crossed his course under her port screw only, blazing at him from both turrets. The rifleman—Thompson—on the port bow, jumped overboard, and was the only survivor. Within 100 feet Smith pulled the lanyard and fired his torpedo. At the same moment 33 must have been struck by shell from both guns of the Kow Shui, the shell passing through the boiler from forward, for she blew up about two seconds before the Kow Shui struck fair amidships by the torpedo, broke in two and sank. The Kam Ling, coming up about two minutes afterwards, picked up Thompson, the man who had jumped overboard.\n\nSandy Bay \n10c2bles: 1milo \n1 Chop Sing. \n2 Kow Shui. \nK. Kam Ling. \n3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Russian torpedo boats.\n\nNaylor steered for the Sulphur Channel, being much delayed by the slow speed and wild steering of the Tweed. Naylor, coming through Sulphur Channel, did not make out the Chop Sing till after the action had commenced on the North side of the island, when his search light dropped on her. The Chop Sing on discovery dashed straight forward close along the shore, and the Wivern's first shots from her quick-firers went over her; as she ran along blazing away from both her turrets she struck No. 34 repeatedly (one shell, exploding the torpedo in the tube, killed every soul on board) before closing Sulphur Island. 33 and the Kam Ling passed North of the Island, and just then the search light from Stonecutters showed Smith (in 33), the Kow Shui about to be sunk by the fire of the Wivern and the three-pounders of 71 and 72.\n\n--13-- \n\nOur small squadron now made out the Feikoo on the port beam. The vessels Feihoo and the Destroyers, all three of whom began blazing away when the two Russian torpedo boats under Mount Davis darted out. The Northern and leading boat fired her torpedo at 71, just missing her astern; so close was she and with so much way did she shoot out that before she could turn, Larke in 35 rammed her and they sank together. Flamer ported his helm he discovered a torpedo boat on his starboard bow, and recognized that any attempt to circle round (in the Tweed) meant destruction. He was equally aware that in his badly-steering 8-knot flat-iron he could not get abaft the funnel, and in his excitement round to the starboard side of the Feihoo (or else it was the result of the jar) discharged his torpedo with fatal effect into Cellair's boat as she was turning towards him on starboard helm, and ripped the whole port side out of him. 71 turned over to port and blew up as she sank. Before the Russian could turn she was sunk by the Wivern's fire.\n\nThe second Russian was about 100 feet astern, and on the port quarter of the first, as he did so. The mere weight of the two vessels appearing to bring them both up all standing for a second or two after the first crash—the fore-mast of the Feihoo falling forward over the Tweed. Then there was a rearing of steam from the burst pipes, where the huge shell had smashed through, shrieks, yells, oaths and the rattle of musketry from the Feihoo. The Tweed had her bows stove in, and was slowly forcing the Feikoo (whose engines had ceased to work) astern. There was no need for it, for both vessels were bound to go to the bottom together; but the lust for blood was strong on them. Twice in that bell of steam and smoke, under the little forecastle of the Tweed, with both ships sinking under them, did the gun's crew load and fire the 64-pounder with extreme depression right down through the fast-settling Feihoo, the Russians replying bravely with musketry. Neither was there any need for it, had they known, for the torpedo boat to rush up under the stern of the Tweed, and fire her torpedo within 30 feet, only to be blown to pieces herself by the after 64-pounder.\n\nTearing herself clear, the Feihoo rolled over to starboard and sank. The Tweed went down bodily, the rush of water from forward and aft, literally filling her in a few seconds, the steam blowing up the decks as she settled. Two of her crew were afterwards picked up by the `Belle`, the `Asbestos`. The Tweed had by this time been left a long way astern. The Wivern, 72, and 36 were heading up to the S. E., with the Borgo, Revel, and three torpedo boats steering to cut them off. Recognising that for him there was no manoeuvring, Flamer ploughed on in the Tweed, for the Feihos, accompanied by the Kam Ling on the port bow. The launch of the Tweed, with both ships sinking under them, made excellent practice, plugging shot after shot into the bows of the Feihoo, who at last in desperation turned all her fire on the boat, sinking her about 700 yards off. Four of her men were saved in the dinghy, and Thompson, the man from 33. The Tweed meanwhile paid strict attention to business, knocking away the funnel, and main and mizen masts of the Feihoo. It now became evident that she was in difficulties; she obeyed her helm but sluggishly and her screw appeared to be fouling the wreckage towing astern and alongside. Flamer, therefore, thought that turning to starboard he would circle round, and hammer...",

The Harbarovsk, about a mile and a half ahead, was firing at him from her stern gun. The Borgo at prodigious speed (nearly 30 knots) had circled round and was coming down on his port bow, whilst the three torpedo boats were sweeping round for his stern and quarters.\n\nRunning on to get out of the fire from the Wivern he crossed from her port quarter over to starboard, and, in so doing, crossed the bows of the third Russian, one that had been making for the Wivern's starboard quarter. She had been masked from him by the Wivern. Seeing her companion successful in striking the Wivern, she had turned to port, and almost immediately afterwards 36 shot across her bows out of the blaze of the Wivern's fire. The Russian promptly blew up 36, striking her nearly amidships.\n\nAnxious to be rid of his most formidable antagonist, the Borgo, Naylor put his helm hard a starboard, and turning to port, keeping his search light steadily on the Destroyer, went at her full speed, raining a hail of shot at her. The Borgo gallantly responded, and they approached one another with frightful rapidity, their combined speed being 40 knots. The Destroyer had her funnels, signal-mast, conning-tower and guns knocked away; suddenly she plunged downwards, about 600 feet from the stern of the Wivern; her bows had been shorn clean off by a heavy shell from the foremost gun of the Wivern.\n\nBy the wheel to port of the Wivern, the three torpedo boats, with a speed of 16 knots, had been thrown further aft, and the one making for the port quarter brought her further forward on the port beam. Before the Wivern altered course after the destruction of the Borgo, the one on the port beam and the one astern rushed in close enough to fire their torpedoes into the port beam, and under the port quarter of the Wivern with fatal precision. The one abeam of the Wivern was sunk by her fire as she was backing off and turning to starboard.\n\nSoper, in 36, had seen the approach of the one on the port quarter; spinning round to starboard he ran at and torpedoed her, but too late to prevent her firing. The Revel blazed away with his three guns, and Leslie with his one three-pounder. The Revel had the superiority in speed, but not enough to make it safe for her to attempt to manoeuvre, at the distance to which they had now approached, Leslie going 20 knots and the Revel 24. Both fired their torpedoes simultaneously, about 80 or 100 feet apart, with magnificent precision, ripping one another's port sides out, and sinking in a whirlpool of steam almost alongside each other.\n\nThus ended the battle of Sulphur Channel, a veritable combat of Kilkenny cats. A solitary second-class Russian torpedo boat, with her funnel spouting fire from bullet holes, steamed off to the Harbarovsk. Whether any Russians from the vessels destroyed were saved we never learned. Seven only of our men survived, engineers, Morgan and Hunt; \n\n## In Victoria about midnight a fire broke out in Winglok Street\n\npart of the Fire Brigade were quickly on the spot. Two other fires breaking out across the street, it became apparent that they were the work of incendiaries. Bands of marauders also appeared, many of whom were armed and began looting. Mr. Hill, the Superintendent of Police, very properly and promptly ordered the Police, under Inspectors Hennessey and Kemp, to fire on them. Nineteen men were killed before order was restored. It being quite clear that the Fire Brigade could not cope with the conflagration, after some delay powder was procured and the services of two Sergeants of Engineers were called upon. The end houses abutting on Morrison Street and Hillier Street were blown up. All four blocks between these streets, from Bonham Strand to the Praya, were burnt or blown up. The loss of life was considerable. Robberies took place in several parts of the town. Burnslop, the residence of R. M. Dray, one of the wealthiest men in the Colony, known to contain much valuable plate, race cups, &c., and jewellery, was broken into, robbed and burnt. Dray was cut down and disabled on leaving his bedroom. Queensclere, belonging to the Hon. E. R. Delilios, was also robbed. Mount Austin Barracks, Ravenshill, and Ball's Court were robbed and set fire to. Nine men were shot at the latter place by the Police from No. 7 station. Attempts to break into Wong Ling's and Kuhn's stores in Queen's Road were frustrated, and several of the robbers killed. Inspector Mann, in the Eastern District, could only keep order by shooting freely.\n\n## THE BATTLE OF DEEP WATER BAY.\n\nAt 1:30 a.m., as arranged with the Commodore, General White (expecting the diversion by the Navy at 2), finding no other attacks developed, sent orders for Hush and Rox's men, with Farey's engineers and Harrington's Maxims, to move at 2 o'clock, the two last to come down by the Wanchai Gap Road. The order had been anxiously expected, and at 2 the men started with a cheer, the Maxims swinging and bounding along with almost as many men on the heel ropes to check them as on the drag ropes. Hush's men were first past Pokfulam, down by the Reservoir Road, with Rox's hard behind them.\n\nPassing through Aberdeen at a run, it was 3 a.m. before they first felt the enemy in the wood at the junction of the Wanchai and Aberdeen Roads, and a fierce combat took place. The enemy being constantly reinforced was driving the two companies of West Kents backwards on Aberdeen, till the Maxims getting into action and vol... \n\n- 13- \n## Page 14\n## Page 16",

        "content_text": "# THE DAILY PRESS\n## HONGKONG, January 11th, 1899\n### THE TUNG WAH HOSPITAL\n#### THE NEW COMMITTEE INTRODUCED TO THE GOVERNOR\n\nIn accordance with the annual custom, the new committee of the Tung Wah Hospital, together with the retiring committee, attended at Government House yesterday for the purpose of being presented to His Excellency the Governor (Sir Henry Blake, G.C.M.G.). There were also present the Acting Colonial Secretary (the Hon. T. Sercombe Smith), the Acting Registrar General (Mr. J. Dyer Ball), Dr. Thomson, Viscount Suirdale, A.D.C., and Major Somerville (Private Secretary). Mr. Dyer Ball introduced the members of the committees to His Excellency, who shook hands with them.\n\nMr. FUNG WA CHUEN (a member of the old committee) said—Your Excellency, on behalf of the retiring Committee, I beg to thank your Excellency for receiving us here to-day. It is our duty to present ourselves and pay our respects to your Excellency after having served our term of one year. During our tenure of office, several suggestions as to the improvement of the institution were adopted, and the conduct of the hospital has been well attended to under Dr. Thomson's careful supervision. At one time of the year, we had the visitation of a branch of plague in the colony and hospital was sanctioned by the Government. In this connection, valuable assistance was rendered us by Captain May in the discharge of our duties towards those of our fellow-countrymen who, unfortunately, happened to be attacked by this terrible disease. For this, we owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. May, for without his help, the task would have been much more difficult to us. The building of another mortuary at the recommendation of the Sanitary Board has been placed in the hands of our architect, although this will bear rather heavily on our limited finances. Now, Sir, it only remains for me to report to you that our duties have been transferred to the hands of the incoming committee, who I feel sure will be able to effect still further improvements in the management of the hospital. Once more, I thank your Excellency for your kind reception.\n\nMr. HO TUNG (chairman of the new committee) said—Your Excellency, in taking over the duties of the retiring directors of the Tung Wah Hospital, I do not think the chairman of the committee has availed himself on every occasion of the opportunity to address the Governor. On the present occasion, however, I would beg your Excellency's permission to make a few remarks on this charitable institution. As your Excellency is well aware, the election of the board of directors of the Tung Wah is made exclusively by those Chinese who contribute annually to the funds of the hospital. The annual election is therefore not merely a purely formal function restricted to a few of the well-to-do or better-informed Chinese of the colony. Indeed, if it can be accepted as any criterion, it affords ample evidence that quite a large number of the Chinese in Hongkong evince an active interest in the institution. It may be a matter of satisfaction for your Excellency to know that quite 500 persons took part in the last election, all of whom exhibited an intelligent interest in the object and purpose of the election. We, the new directors, as well as the Chinese community of Hongkong at large, wish to express our sense of thankfulness to your Excellency for the early interest you have already shown in the institution we have just taken charge of. In spite of the multifarious duties which a Governor has to attend to soon after his arrival in the colony, your Excellency has made it possible to pay a visit to the hospital on Friday last. We hope to hear from your Excellency to-day that that visit revealed to your Excellency the nature of the work that is being done in the Tung Wah. We hope also that the visit has been the means of disclosing to your Excellency any of the defects which your Excellency might be good enough to suggest to us the means of removing. Now, as regards the past, when our present retiring directors were last year introduced to Sir William Robinson, before assuming the duties of the directorate, your predecessor was good enough to give them a few words of encouragement and advice with regard to the working of the Hospital. He enumerated several expedients whereby necessary reforms could be introduced and the usefulness of the institution increased, and principal among these was the co-operation with Dr. Thomson, who had been appointed visiting surgeon to the Hospital. I think I need hardly recall to your Excellency's mind the kind way in which Dr. Thomson reported to the Government the good relationship which exists between himself and the board of directors respecting the internal administration of the Hospital. The Chinese appreciate very fully the courteous manner Dr. Thomson has recorded his experience with the directors during 1897 and also his opinion that \"the enlightened policy that is consistently guiding their action in their management of the Hospital is rapidly producing improvement of the institution on all sides of its work.\" The new directors can only hope that it will be their good fortune to conduct the affairs of the Hospital for the ensuing year with the same harmonious relation with its visiting Surgeon that has marked the initiation of the improvements following the recommendations of the Commission which in 1896 investigated and reported upon the working of the Tung Wah Hospital. And they rely upon your Excellency for the encouragement and support of the Government in all that will tend to promote the good object for which this beneficent institution was founded. Risen phoenix-like, from the dead ashes of the “Tung Wah” (formerly known as \"I. Lez\"), the Tung Wah, under very happy auspices, was formally opened on the 14th February, 1872. During the following year, 581 patients were treated and 506 persons vaccinated. To-day, thanks to individual benevolence and the fostering care of this Government, the Hospital building has been considerably enlarged, and during the year just closed, it received for treatment no less than 2,898 in-patients, besides 121,542 visits by out-patients, and was instrumental in having 1,583 persons vaccinated. Although the existence of the Tung Wah is justified by the large amount of good it has done and the alleviation of much physical suffering, I believe that it is still capable of further improvements; and what might appear as the barrier to progress arising from the ignorance or pardonable superstitions of the lower orders of the Chinese, the directors rely upon your Excellency's kind forbearance to endure, trusting to time for the better enlightenment of the ignorant class for whom the Tung Wah was especially founded.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY said—Gentlemen, I am happy to have the pleasure of meeting the directors of the Tung Wah Hospital, and I have listened to your address with great interest. The Tung Wah Hospital is the first institution that I have visited, and I must apologise for having made that visit without due notice. But I was anxious to see the institution in its every day working condition rather than visiting it after a possible special preparation. I may say at once that, so far as I could see, the cleanliness and regularity of the hospital left little to be desired, and reflected credit upon the directors and the medical staff of the charity. That such institutions as the Tung Wah Hospital and Dispensary, and the Po Leung Kuk should exist, afford ample evidence that the Chinese inhabitants of Hongkong possess in a high degree that most excellent gift of charity and tender solicitude for their suffering poor, and the ready response that your directors of last year have given to the recommendations...",

In 1895 the memorialist was retired on a\n\npension, consequent on the abolition of his office. The pension\n\nhowever, was a temporary one, and conditional on the Government\n\nfailing to find any future use for Mr. Ng's services. This was\n\nclearly stated on his pension paper, a certified true copy of\n\nwhich is enclosed.\n\n3.\n\nDuring his temporary retirement the memorialist entered into commercial business, and became the partner\n\nof a firm in which he sank a certain amount of irredeemable capital.\n\n4. In 1897 the Government recalled Mr. Ng to\n\nits service, and as Civil Service Regulations do not permit of\n\nits officers taking pecuniary interest in commercial undertakings,\n\nMr. Ng found himself faced by the alternative of forfeiting his pension or relinquishing his commercial pursuits.\n\n5.\n\nThe Right Honourable\n\nJOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,\n\n&c. &c. &c.",

In this regard the frontier offered by the East River possesses advantages over the existing line of Boundary between Deep Bay and Mirs Bay, where the hills run at right angles to the line of demarcation. The Tung Kiang is not navigable for vessels of heavy draught.",

Blake thinks the territory is doing well, and will, in a few years, pay its way and be a balance to general expenditure.\n\nIt is interesting to note that the revenue is appreciable. The fact is, generally speaking, satisfactory except for land - with the covering despatches.\n\nNo local tribunals have been established, it is questionable whether it would be necessary or even desirable. The Botanical Department has done good work in the territory.\n\nArrangements have been made to provide vaccination, and to prescribe advice or medicine free. The riad sue has had labour unrest suppressed, and the more affluent might be interested.\n\nAcknowledgement is made with interest and satisfaction. I send copy report to Dr. Manson calling attention to Aff XVI and asking for remarks. Print in the Miscellaneous Series.\n\n476 including Appendices 3, 4, 8, 9, 12 (without subenclosure), 13, 17 (without enclosures), 19, 20, #21.\n\nAnd if possible secure a copy for it. 20 June.\n\nIm Cleamberlain, You may like to see this Report. Good work is being done and deserves a few words of recognition.\n\nThis territory is malarious. Mr. Rockett.\n\nPlease get this into type (for long-range purposes).

The whole of section 9 is also new and deals with certain points connected with the assessment of compensation; while its last paragraph makes special provision in cases where insanitary property is resumed.
