The task is to proofread this text, correcting spelling errors, fixing spacing issues, rejoining broken sentences, and restoring paragraph breaks, all while preserving the original content and format as much as possible.\n\n## Step 2\nFirst, we need to identify and correct spelling errors. For example, \"Wongkong\" should be \"Hongkong\", \"sh. 1000j€rawa\" should be \"sh. 1000\", and \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" should be \"Brit. bk 670 Dod\" (no change needed here, but \"Brit.\" is an abbreviation for \"British\" which is correct). \"Dut. 764 ric\" should be \"Dut. 764\", and \"Earl of Windeer\" should be \"Earl of Windsor\".\n\n## Step 3\nNext, we need to fix spacing issues. For instance, \"XCR (85)72\" should be \"XCR(85)72\", and \"GR 1178/1922/32 (III)\" should be \"GR1178/1922/32(III)\".\n\n## Step 4\nWe also need to rejoin broken sentences. The text contains many lines that are split due to OCR layout errors. For example, sentences that are broken across lines without a logical reason should be merged.\n\n## Step 5\nRestoring paragraph breaks is another crucial step. The OCR output may have incorrectly merged or split paragraphs. We need to format the text into proper paragraphs based on the content and logical breaks.\n\n## Step 6\nIndicate missing words with \"...\" if a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage.\n\n## Step 7\nThe text should be formatted in standard Markdown. This includes using headers (#, ##, ###), sub-headers, bold-type (**bold**), and tables using Markdown table syntax.\n\n## Step 8\nSince the text is a mix of different documents, including newspaper articles and court transcripts, we need to be careful not to rephrase or rewrite the content. The task is to correct errors and improve formatting without changing the style, tone, or word choice.\n\n## Step 9\nNo translation of text is required, and file references should not have any spacing inside parentheses.\n\n## Step 10\nPage numbering lines, if detected (usually six lines in total, three at the page beginning and three at the end), should be kept as they are, as they were originally used during scanning to delineate page metadata.\n\n## Step 11\nThe output should be in HTML using for paragraphs and \n only if absolutely necessary.\n\nThe final answer is: \n\n324\n\n25\n\n[NO. 6.

Messrs. Teheus (Secretary), Laou, Tsao, Li, Tseng, Assistant Secretaries, E. Frandin, interpreter, ten Chinese officers, attaches to the Legation, and 28 servants. The Amazone had the Chinese flag flying at the main in honour of the distinguished passengers.\n\nHis Excellency landed the same day under salute, and was received at Government House by Governor Hennessy at three o'clock. His Excellency the Marquis had apartments assigned to him at Government House, where he could transact business; he slept on board the steamer, but he dined every day at Government House. On the 26th ultimo, at the official dinner at Government House on H.E. the Governor proposing the health of the Emperor of China, the Marshal President of France, and Her Majesty the Queen, the Marquis Tseng replied in a speech in Chinese in which, according to a translation furnished by the Marquis next day, he remarked that, “Governor Hennessy's impartial and excellent administration had already done much towards cementing friendly feeling between England and China; and, as to the existing relations between these powers, he might add that he regarded the friend of England as the friend of China, and the enemy of England as the enemy of China.\"\n\nHis Excellency the Marquis Tseng embarked on the 28th ultimo from the Murray Wharf, and proceeded on board the French mail steamer for Europe. A company of the 74th Highlanders was on the wharf as a guard of honour. On the steam-launch leaving the wharf a salute was fired from the shore battery.\n\nThe Shanghai Courier says:- By those who have had the opportunity of conversing with the new Minister to the Elysées and to the Court of St. James, we are informed that he is of dignified and very affable manners, and that there is every likelihood of his becoming a very acceptable personage with the Governments to which he is accredited, as well as with the European Diplomatic Corps, and it is thought that he will make a very favourable impression upon the people at large. The Peking Government may thus be congratulated on having had the foresight to select and appoint in this, as also in the case of Kwo-ta-jou, officials who, like their colleagues of western countries, possess a specialité which is known as the \"Art to please.\" The Marquis Tseng, who, as yet, converses in English with greater difficulty than timidity, has resolved to thoroughly master the language, and if he persists with that dogged Scottish kind of perseverance by which he has been distinguished on all possible occasions and opportunities during his intercourse with foreigners both here and at Tientsin, even with those speaking his own language perfectly, then his most praiseworthy and painstaking determination must eventually be crowned with success. It might have been well had the Marquis, in his capacity as Minister to France, given some attention to French in place of English, for, in his relations in Paris with Frenchmen of the official world, he will make a discovery that his own actual acquaintanceship with English far exceeds theirs. Fortunately, in the present instance Tseng-ta-jen will find an exception to the general rule in the person of the actual Minister of Foreign Affairs (M. Waddington), whose father was English. The only foreigner in the suite of the new Chinese Minister to France is Monsieur Frandin, late interprète of the French Consular service. This gentleman has been temporarily detached from that service by the Minister of France at Peking, for special duty with the Marquis, etc., and we hear that he has received an appointment from the Tsung-li Yamén as Agent de la Mission sans portefeuille politique, or, what in plain English we should call a kind of non-political adviser.\n\nPage 360", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-182 - Governor Hennessy - 1878 [9-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 309635, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-194 - Governor Hennessy Administrator Tonnochy - 1881 [8-9]", "page_number": 296, "title": "CO129-194 - Governor Hennessy Administrator Tonnochy - 1881 [8-9]", "content_text": "MAILS EXTRAORDINARY\n\nTHE PREMIER BATTLE\n\nThe P. & O. steamer arrived, with the mails from England, on the morning of the 24th August, and was berthed at the wharf.\n\nSTEAMERS SPECIAL\n\nThe Oria steamer arrived yesterday's mail from Singapore and sailed for Shanghai.\n\nPOST-OFFICE NOTICES\n\n$49 dan antanses List of Mails received in Peninsularviawên znie papar is the oppo.intent krise and day in w Exten, whion je always carmenia to a much storce: Han i gru\n\nFor Shanghai Per Anct. twizy, the 24ta Castrol, at 31.\n\nFor Bangkok Per Gestice, today, the 24ib tanta 2.3 M.\n\nThe Hot Pakki, naů Rapiery, - Por Pink-lay, be fazlant, et à mức.\n\nFor Basis.

He had a slight but not mortal bullet wound, and had apparently been strangled to death--by whom it is not known.\n\nThese two affairs, small as they were, had a somewhat disquieting effect on the French population of Hanoi. The desperate nature of the resistance offered by this handful of men and their success in holding out for so long against largely superior French forces seemed to show a considerable change in the conditions since the time of the conquest of Tonkin twenty-five years before.\n\nOn the 28th August an anti-French plot was discovered at Hanoi, and several arrests were made, five of the accused being subsequently sentenced, by administrative measure without trial, to deportation for ten years. A secret society amongst the servants of Europeans was also brought to light, among the members of which were certain individuals who had already been suspected of complicity in the plot for poisoning the garrison during the summer of 1908, but who had escaped conviction.\n\nOn the 31st August the command of the column against the Dê-Tham was withdrawn from Commandant Chofflet and given to Commandant Bonifacy. On the 5th September a band of fifteen rifles under the command of Ca-rinh, the De-Tham's principal lieutenant, was reported some 3 miles west of Phuc-Yen. On the 6th they were attacked at the village of Yen-Lo by a force despatched by Commandant Bonifacy, consisting of a company of colonial infantry, a company of tirailleurs, a detachment of the Legion, and a section of artillery. The fighting lasted all day, and the band was more than half destroyed, their losses being said to be nine killed and one prisoner. The French loss was, however, also serious, consisting of three Europeans and one tirailleur killed in action, three Europeans dead from sun-stroke, and four Europeans and five tirailleurs wounded.\n\nThe De-Tham himself was at this time in the mountainous region between the Day River and the Rivière Claire, and his intention was to cross the latter stream, and eventually to gain the Province of Thanh-Hoa in North Annam. The river was, however, effectively patrolled, and a move in this direction was prevented. At the end of September, the De-Tham's position being accurately known, the Kham Sai and the column of troops—amounting to some 3,000 men in all—left the province of Phuc-Yen and concentrated in the north of the province of Vinh-Yen.\n\nIn the meantime, on the 26th September, the band of Kiem, (who on the 2nd August, had sacked the militia post at Hoa-Binh, as recounted in my despatch above-mentioned) had attacked another post of militia at Hoa-lae in the Sontay province. The band was repulsed after having killed four militiamen and wounded seven. Kiem did not, however, act in conjunction with the Dê-Tham.\n\nOn the 5th October Commandant Bonifacy attacked the latter's force. It had strongly entrenched itself in a ravine on the south-west side of the Nui-Lang mountain. The position was an extremely difficult one to attack and the French soldiers underwent great hardships. The De-Tham is said to have had seventy rifles engaged in the affair. His actual losses as far as could be ascertained were six killed, two wounded, and one prisoner, but his morale was badly shaken as he had thought himself secure. The band broke up and escaped in the night, the members dispersing in different directions. It has never re-assembled since. A portion of the attacking force was for four hours at twenty-five yards from the enemy's fire. It is not to be wondered at therefore that the French loss was serious---eight Europeans and eleven natives killed and thirty-four wounded. The evacuating of the wounded on Vietri was extremely difficult owing to the nature of the country and the troops were absolutely exhausted, all idea of pursuing the enemy being impossible.\n\n3\n\nThe De-Tham with a few followers left the Nui-Lang mountains and recrossed the Day. Bonifacy moved his column into the Tam-Dao region. The fight at Nui-Lang had evidently had a disheartening effect on the rebels and several of them came in and made their submission. On the 24th October the Dê-Tham's principal lieutenant, Ca-rinh, with six of his followers surrendered to the Kham Sai. This was a serious loss to the rebel chief. He gradually worked his way back through the province of Thai-Nguyen to his former district in the Yen-thé of which he had been for years the virtual ruler. On the 25th November he was definitely signalled there. On the 1st December a notable capture was made in the person of his third wife. This woman is a veritable Amazon; she took a personal and active part in most of the recent engagements, carrying a rifle herself and sometimes, it is said, commanded detachments on foraging and reconnoitring expeditions. A couple of days later the leader himself was nearly caught and an individual of his party was killed, who proved to be none other than the cook who had been the principal instrument in the plot to poison the Hanoi garrison in 1908. Numerous other submissions now took place and the position improved so far that early in December the greater part of the military column (which had been formed after the kidnapping of M. Voisin in July) could be sent back to garrison duty.\n\nAt the end of December the military authorities had to turn their attention to the Yunnan frontier. About 100 Chinese soldiers, at an isolated post, mutinied, and crossed into Tonkin with arms and ammunition. It was feared that they might repeat the exploits of the \"Reformists\" from Yunnan in the summer of 1908, and prompt measures were taken to deal with them. Troops were sent to bar their advance, and they were called upon to submit. They refused to do so, and announced their intention of marching across Tonkin. On the morning of the 5th January they were attacked and put to flight, losing sixteen killed and seventeen wounded. Unfortunately, on the French side a captain was killed and four men wounded. Further reinforcements were sent up and the remnants of the band were disposed of. A good many were killed, others were driven back across the frontier, and some were captured and handed over to the Chinese authorities, who executed them.\n\nMeanwhile, operations on a small scale had for some time been in progress against the band of Kiem, the sacker of Hoa-Binh. These operations were brought to a close at the end of December, when eighty of the rebels had made their submission. There had been little or no serious fighting; the French had had one man severely wounded, and the \"pirates\" had lost eight killed and five wounded. On the 13th January the chief, Kiem himself, surrendered, the only terms given him being that his life should be spared. It is believed that he was partly led to submit by the apparently generous fashion in which Ca-rinh and the other surrendered partisans of the De-Tham were being treated. To them also the Government had only guaranteed their lives, but they had been left in provisional liberty under the surveillance of the provincial authorities. Ca-rinh himself had, indeed, been treated with many marks of distinction. Five days after Kiem's surrender, however, Ca-rinh and some sixty other surrendered rebels, who had been left in the Yen-thé district, together with the third wife of the De-Tham, were simultaneously put into close arrest, brought by special train to Hanoi, and locked up in the prison there. Kiem and his followers have been similarly dealt with. The De-Tham probably congratulates himself on not having trusted to appearances.\n\nHe is still believed to be wandering in the Yen-thé jungle with one or two faithful attendants. The Kham Sai, having failed to effect his capture, was recalled on the 1st March and his band of \"partisans\" dispersed. The remains of Commandant Bonifacy's column were also broken up, the commandant himself, however, remaining to administer the Yen-thế. The pursuit is now entrusted to the militia, who are endeavouring to bring it to an end before the beginning of the hot weather. It is possible that the Dê-Tham might again cause trouble if not disposed of before the heat renders difficult active operations on the part of white troops, but it is not likely that he would still enjoy the prestige which a year ago gave him the support of a great part of the population in the provinces of Yen-thé and Phuc-Yen. On the whole, it appears that M. Klobukowski, the Governor-General (who is now in France), is quite justified in describing the affair of the Dê-Tham as virtually at an end.\n\nI enclose a rough sketch-map showing the relative positions of the principal places mentioned in this despatch.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nT.

As, however, in `29233/25` and `32183/25` the **Home Office** had intervened to get the fines imposed in similar circumstances on the Masters of the s.s. 'Havestein' and the s.s. 'Haruna Maru', I thought it well to ask them what their views really were. I learnt that No. 8 was sent to us while Mr. Perrings and Sir Malcolm Delevingne, who deal with these matters, were at Geneva, and the officer who was responsible for sending No. 8 had never heard of the other two cases. He asked me to return No. 8 and its enclosures for discussion with Sir Malcolm Delevingne. Sir Malcolm Delevingne has spoken to me about it on the telephone and I gathered that he is in favour of the fine on the Master of the 'Amazon Maru' being remitted, though it is not quite in all fours with the other cases, as he was recollection of offices of the Osaka line cooperating with the others.\n\nYou will see that Section 12 of the **Straits Deleterious Drugs Ordinance** is quoted in the judgment, which forms a sub-enclosure to No. 8. The onus of proving that he was not concerned in the smuggling of the drugs is, by Sub-section 3, placed upon the Master. In most cases this is almost impossible and for a long time I have felt that this Section of the Ordinance is very unfair.\n\n117 an amending and consolidating Ordinance which is now under consideration in conjunction with the K HO Day way N.YK. in the same offices Du Canada A the time (Cf. last para cester to 140 on `34112/17` **Home**", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-498-14 Illicit traffic in opium and drugs 4-12-1925 - 30-11-1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 506022, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-498-14 Illicit traffic in opium and drugs 4-12-1925 - 30-11-1926", "page_number": 35, "title": "CO129-498-14 Illicit traffic in opium and drugs 4-12-1925 - 30-11-1926", "content_text": "# O/Misc. 853/3\n\n**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\n221\n\n28th October 1926.\n\nNO 29233/25\n\nSir,\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your confidential letter No. 237/25 of the 17th September, enquiring whether consignments of Morphia Hydrochlor shipped to us by the S.S. \"Mentor\" (ex S.S. \"Haruna Maru\" and \"Havestein\") and S.S. \"Adrastus\" (ex S.S. \"Amazon Maru\") had been sold, and if the proceeds had been credited to the Government of the Straits Settlements.\n\n2.

On examination by the local authorities a large quantity of Morphia was found cleverly concealed in the tins containing the crystals. These facts are not disputed.\n\nOwing to the dangerous nature of her cargo the ship was not allowed to enter the limits of the Port but was anchored outside those limits. The subject of jurisdiction was mentioned, but there is no room for doubt as to this. The ship was not, of course, subject to the regulations of the Port, but she was in territorial waters and, therefore, under the general jurisdiction of the Court.\n\nThe argument revolved around sections 11 and 12 of Ordinance 124; these sections are as follows:-\n\n### Section 11\n11(1) Subject to Section 3, every person shall be guilty of an offence who\n- Imports any deleterious drug or syringe\n- Exports any deleterious drug or syringe.\n\n(2) Any deleterious drug or syringe found in any vessel within the limits of any port or place declared to be subject to Ordinance No. 125 (Merchant Shipping) shall be deemed to have been imported unless it is proved that it is consigned to another country and that before the vessel entered the limits of such port or place, there had been made to the master of the vessel by the shipper or the person in charge of such deleterious drug or syringe a declaration in writing stating the quantity thereof and the names and addresses of the consignor and consignee.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-498-14 Illicit traffic in opium and drugs 4-12-1925 - 30-11-1926.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 506110, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-498-14 Illicit traffic in opium and drugs 4-12-1925 - 30-11-1926", "page_number": 124, "title": "CO129-498-14 Illicit traffic in opium and drugs 4-12-1925 - 30-11-1926", "content_text": "398 \n\n`C.F.6675/26` \n\n**DOWNING STREET**, \n\n29 May, 1926. \n\nSir, \n\nWith further reference to your letter of \nthe 7th of October No. `448279/39` and the letter from \nthis Department of the 22nd of October, I am directed \nby Mr Secretary Amery to request you to inform \nSecretary Sir W.

Haverstein and the S.S. Haruna Maru (vide correspondence ending with your telegram of the 25th of July, 1925) and in the case of the S.S. Amazon Maru.\n\nI have considerable doubts whether the retention, in its present form, of a provision whereby a person who may have had no connection whatever with any offence is made liable to a heavy fine, merely because a parcel of illicit drugs may have been found on the ship, is defensible. I am accordingly in communication with the Home Office and the Board of Trade in the matter, and I hope to be in a position to address you in regard to this Section in a separate despatch at an early date.\n\n(i) Section 21 makes it an offence for any person in the Colony \"other than a person licensed under this Ordinance\" to procure or deal in or to offer to deal in any deleterious drug elsewhere than in the Colony, but the Ordinance does not appear to contain any provision for the issue of a licence for the carrying on of such transactions. As such traffic may be perfectly legitimate, I see no reason why provision should not be made for the issue of such licences. I consider however that the appropriate licensing authority for this purpose would be the Colonial Secretary who would of course not issue a licence unless he were satisfied that the applicant for such a licence was a fit and proper person (or firm) and that the drugs in which he proposed to deal were not intended for the illicit market.\n\n(j)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-505-11 Deleterious Drugs Ordinance 1927- proposed amendments 27-10-1927 - 9-11-1927.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 532845, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-538-1 Hong Kong University 31-12-1931 - 6-8-1932", "page_number": 85, "title": "CO129-538-1 Hong Kong University 31-12-1931 - 6-8-1932", "content_text": "Maps of Hong Kong\n\n117\n\ntaxation. The detail field work was done by Indian Surveyors under the guidance of two European officers, supplied by the Survey of India. When this Cadastral survey was completed it was thought that a topographical map should also be made. The proportion of cultivated land in the Territory (about one-sixth of the total area) was so small that the cadastral maps showed large blank spaces between small patches of surveyed land. These blank spaces however were to some extent occupied by trig. stations, and with their help the intervening hills were sketched in. The map produced was on the scale of 2 inches to the mile. The hills were shown by contours 100 feet apart.\n\nThese contours were sketched in between the few trig. stations on the hill tops and the patches of cultivated land in the valleys. The result was a map of varying degrees of accuracy. In places where the valleys were straight and the slopes uniform the work was easy. But in the jumble of hills and valleys (pays accidenté is the very expressive French term), which makes up the greater part of the Territory the work was difficult and the map produced was in places so inaccurate that when the Geological Survey was undertaken a few years ago, the Canadian geologists in charge of that work were often unable to fit the geological features onto the topographical map. As an instance of this inaccuracy, it may be mentioned that the island of Chu lu kok (Chik lap kok) north of Lantao, is shown by the contours as 1,000 feet high. It should be 500 feet.\n\nThe Military Authorities found this map inadequate and commenced a survey of the southern part of the Territory and issued a contoured map on the scale of 2 1/2 inches to the mile. This map was first published in pre-war days. Its later editions included Hong Kong Island, most of Lamma Island, and the mainland as far east as Port Shelter and as far north as Tai Po and ended westward a few miles beyond Tsun Wan (Tsung Wan). A marginal note on this map tells us that the contours on the mainland are surveyed, those on the islands approximate only.\" Hong Kong is an island and a patch of about half a square mile to the south of Butterfields reservoir is certainly a good example of this \"approximate\" work. Neither the hills nor the valleys can be identified on the ground. The mainland part of the map appears good work. It is a curious anomaly that Hong Kong Island, the most important part of the colony, should be the worst mapped.\n\nPage 44\n\nThe great war stopped this work but brought out the method of aerial surveying and in 1924-1925 aeroplanes were at work taking the necessary photographs for a new map. The result of this work is a map of Hong Kong and the leased Territory on the ample scale of 1/20,000, nearly 3 inches to the mile with contours at 10 metres apart.\n\nSurveys by photos from the air have been found of great value in places which are difficult of access e.g. The Amazon forests (1) and the Irrawaddy Delta (2). These however are flat districts and it is not clear how the system will serve for the survey of South China hills where the contours are the main topographical feature. Only an examination on the ground would show to what degree of accuracy, in this respect, the system has worked out. The air map would no doubt be of great help to the contour drawer in showing all the little gullies or water courses which in the old 2 inch map were sketched on, often very inaccurately.\n\nMay 1932.\n\n136", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-538-1 Hong Kong University 31-12-1931 - 6-8-1932.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 533178, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933", "page_number": 152, "title": "CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933", "content_text": "218\n\nD. J. FINN, S.J.\n\nof shore the great bulk of the finds made by Professor Shelishcar were made. Evidently these objects were the sediment, as it were, or the rejecta of the sand-getting operations. Even now the same thing happens; when the sand junks have been there, one finds always a few bits of broken pottery left about near the place they have dug, and the junk people say that more things used to turn up about two years ago. I watched operations one day recently and saw a regular amazon of a woman sweeping the sand into the coolies' baskets which were ranged at her feet in front of the sand-face: the work is done very rapidly and there is no concern for what may be mixed up with the sand unless it gets in the way: thus small objects such as the bits I pick up at Aberdeen can only by the merest luck escape removal and dispersal. That day, the woman's shovel revealed at one sweep a clump of fragments: had I not rescued them, they would have been either pitched aside or gone into the next basket. Now this makes certain difficulties as to the determination of the find-spots. In the ridges that divide the shore, a certain number of things have been found, mostly larger fragments (e.g. fragment 37 below which was dug up near the foreground of Plate 32, figure 5): this would seem not to have been the original site of the objects but they probably came there through being cast aside in the digging and then being later on covered in with the earthy soil which the sand-coolies skim off when they begin a new patch. In the general view Plate 32, 1 and 3, the untidiness of the shore as a result of the digging and banking can be easily detected in the shore views Plate 32, figures 4 and 5, it is this that produces the billowing surface.\n\nLandward from this strip comes the face of the sand-back from which sand is now being taken. On top is a turfed strip between the edge and the fields. The level of the turf, Plate 32, (figure 5, top), is just about 13 feet above the foot of the present sand-slope. The sand is very hard and fine (quartz in great part) so that it slides easily. Thus a clear vertical face on the sand cliff does not exist for long after a digging; there is sooner or later a collapse and a quantity of material slides down from the top to re-establish the slope which is some 18-20 feet along its inclined surface. Obviously it will happen that an object which is found some ten feet or more down this surface and even some inches deep in the sand has come down with the slide from higher up of this I have had personal experience when our party was digging, as I felt with my bare foot in the sand some inches deep when I was half-way down the slope a piece of pottery which had escaped the notice of the person digging above and of which he at that moment secured another fragment that fitted, showing that my piece had come down all unnoticed in the sliding sand. I have endeavoured to control this by digging for my personal inspection a series of steps from bottom to top of the slope making sure to reach into virgin ground each time. This has confirmed me in the view that the \"rich vein\" is only from about one foot and a half to four feet beneath the present turf level: below that fewer sherds are found and even these cease at about six feet. However it would require systematic lifting of the sand, level by level, as well as careful shoring up of the cuts to counteract these difficulties—a task requiring much labour and consequent expense. Such digging as I have attempted has necessarily been economical to the limits.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nJ.\n\n3.\n\nThe Hong Kong Naturalist.\n\nPlate 32.\n\nVol. III, Nos. 3 and 4.\n\n218\n\n4.\n\n228", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 553885, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-561-6 Companies Amendment Ordinance draft bill- correspondence 18-1-1937 - 6-7-1938", "page_number": 1, "title": "CO129-561-6 Companies Amendment Ordinance draft bill- correspondence 18-1-1937 - 6-7-1938", "content_text": "## FILE A\n\n| Date | Transaction | Details | Amount |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 12/2 | Bulk | Howard | |\n| 10/9 | feat | ww | |\n| 11/9 | Reich | | |\n| 30/9 | But | 30% | |\n| 30/9 | Mayes | | |\n| 4/1... | Amason | 2 In Coves | |\n| 17/7 | | 298 2516 | 83 |\n| 23/2 | Mr. Rogers | 1/2 the Walke | 2-32 |\n| 10 helent | In Boyze | 27 n Bua | |\n| 3/4 | The Howard | 13/7.. | 83 |\n| 14/7 | M Kila Way | | |\n| 17/7 | | | |\n| 20 | Ma Rogers | | |\n| 2 | per W.
