No 1 in. Despatch.\n\nN 155 of 1849.\n\n294\n\nHER MAJESTY'S SLOOP Columbine, CHOKUM, Cocon-Chinsa, 23 October, 1849.\n\nSIR,\n\nI have the satisfaction to report to Your Excellency the great success of the expedition you did me the honour to place under my command. 58 Piratical Vessels, mounting about 1200 Guns, and with crews of 3000 men, have been totally destroyed by fire; and, by the blessing of God, without the loss of One life of the Officers and Men under my orders.\n\nAfter leaving Hongkong on the 8th October, I searched the Harbours of Concock, Sattei, St John's, Mong, Mance, Sungyue, and Tienpak, and proceeded to Now-chou. From information received there, I determined to proceed to Hoi-how in Hainan, inside the shoals, and through the Junk passage, for I found good pilots, and junks with 14 ft. draught going through, and we drew little more than 15 ft.; moreover Shap-ng-tsai had boasted he would go where English ships dared not follow him. This vaunt I determined to belie. We reached Hoi-how on the 13th, and found the Governor General (Ho) whom I visited at the Capital, in great fear of the Pirates, and with a most friendly feeling to the English nation. He immediately ordered a Mandarin named Wong to proceed with me, taking with him 8 War Junks, and I gave him a passage, to prevent delay, on board the Fury.\n\nOn the 16th we reached Chook-shan, which the Pirate Fleet had left 5 days before, and we found the same sad story of towns destroyed, men murdered, and women taken away, that mark his track along the Coast. We fell in with one of his look-out Vessels, which having got into shallow water, was overtaken by the Phlegethon, and destroyed by her boats under the command of Mr Simpson, 1st Officer.\n\nOn the 19th we reached Hoo-nong, his reported haunt, and found he had gone about 12 miles further, and I feared we had lost him; but that invaluable Officer Mr Daniel R. Caldwell impressed me so strongly with the correctness of his information, that I decided on a reconnaissance in the Phlegethon in spite of our shortness of fuel; and proceeding into Chokeum for that purpose, on Saturday morning the 20th, saw 37 of the fleet under weigh. From 7 until 4 P.M., like terriers at a rat-hole we hunted for the Channel. Then a pilot managed to escape from the shore. I proceeded in Phlegethon, with Fury astern, Columbine in tow, over the Bar 14 ft. (mud), and at 4.40 had the pleasure of finding all the ships warmly engaged. At 5.5 Shap-ng-tsai's Junk blew up with a tremendous crash, and at 5.30 they had ceased firing. Before 8 o'clock 27 were in flames, and the squadron in position to blockade the river.\n\nOn the 21st October, the Steamers and Boats destroyed 24 more; and nine of them gave Lieutenant George Hancock in a Paddle-box boat of Fury, assisted by Captain Moore, R.M. and Mr Close, Acting Mate, with Mr Leao, an opportunity of distinguishing himself. Two large Junks turned to bay, to defend the retreat of the rest, but Mr Hancock so handled his boat and her gun, that after an hour and twenty minutes he had beaten them from their guns, and carried them by boarding without loss, and then pursued and destroyed the other 7.\n\nMr Hancock's boldness in attacking, and correct judgment in managing this affair, are worthy of the highest praise; and Captain Moore, R.M., Mr N. N. C. Leao, a Brazilian Lieutenant, and Mr F. A. Close, Acting Mate, gave him the greatest assistance.\n\nOn Monday the 22nd, I proceeded in Phlegethon and Boats to destroy all that were left. We found that the Mandarins had destroyed 4, and we finished 2 others. The low flat islands at the mouth of the river were at times covered with men deserted from the Junks, yet afraid of the Cochin Chinese, who had assembled in great numbers to attack them. The Ships' boats and small-arm men harassed and destroyed many by constant fire of shell and grape, whilst the Cochin Chinese destroyed and captured the rest.\n\nFrom the best information it appears that the Fleet consisted of 64 Vessels of War, which may be classed as follows:-\n\n \n Class\n No.\n Guns\n Crew\n \n \n 1st\n 1\n 42\n 120\n \n \n 2d\n 16\n 28 to 34\n 75 to 80\n \n \n 3d\n 42\n 12 to 19\n 40\n \n \n 4th\n 5\n 6\n 30\n \n \n Total,\n 64\n 1224\n 3150\n \n\nOf these, 2 small of the 3d class and 4 of the 4th have escaped with Shap-ng-tsai, but without much ammunition; and the Mandarin assures me he will shortly destroy him—now an easy prey. He took with him about 400 men, so that 1700 having been killed, about 1000 more remain to be finished by the Cochin Chinese, who have already sent some prisoners to the Mandarins.\n\nI shall now proceed to Hongkong with all despatch. I have the pleasure of mentioning the exceeding good conduct of the Officers and Men during these laborious and hazardous operations. Their unanimity, willingness, and cheerfulness have made it a most pleasant service, and no plunder, rapine, or misconduct, has tarnished their honour.\n\nMajor General Wong, the Mandarin, proved himself a gallant, active, and efficient ally, and I trust his own Government may reward him for his good services. To have Commander Willcox with me, is, I feel, to have success. As a friend and an officer he is unequalled, and his ship is in such good order that I believe there is nothing he could not do. His judgment and gallantry are on an equal footing.\n\nMr Niblett of the Phlegethon has handled his ship in a bold and determined manner, and has given me every assistance. As I was frequently obliged to be in the Steamers, the command of this Sloop has devolved upon Lieutenant J. H. Bridges, Senior Lieutenant, and he conducted her in action on the 20th with much ability.\n\nLieutenant Darnell, Senior of the Fury, in command of her boats, has also rendered good service. Captain Moore of the Hastings's marines has assisted me most materially in command of that body. Lieutenant Hancock, and Mr Chambers, Acting Mate, in command of the respective detachments of Hastings's men, have given me much satisfaction, and Mr Rathbone, Midshipman of the Fury, has brought himself into notice for his zeal.\n\nI have also to notice the name of Mr Algernon Wootton, Midshipman, a most promising young Officer, who has acted as my Aide-de-Camp, and been very useful on every occasion.\n\nI have the honour to enclose a List of the Officers employed in the boats*, who I have no doubt would equally have distinguished themselves if they had had the opportunity.\n\nI enclose a Journal of my Proceedings since leaving Hongkong, together with some Hydrographical Remarks compiled by Mr Thomas Kerr, Acting Master of this sloop, which will, I trust, be of service to commerce and navigation in the Gulf of Tonquin, hitherto so little known. Mr Kerr, during all this very hazardous navigation, has proved himself a careful and judicious Officer.\n\nMr D. R. Caldwell of the Police Force has again proved his talent as a linguist, his intimate knowledge of the Chinese character, and the thorough correctness of his information. To him in a great measure our success is to be attributed.\n\nMr Soames, Master of the Hongkong Company's Steam Vessel Canton, did his work well as Pilot, as far as he was acquainted with the Coast.\n\nI have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant,\n\nJOHN C. DALRYMPLE HAY, Commander.\n\nHis Excellency Rear Admiral Sir FRANCIS A. COLLIER, C.B., K.C.H., Commander-in-Chief, &c., &c., &c.\n\n* See next page,\n\nPage 300\n\nPage 301", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-030 - Bonham - 1849 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 229350, "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": "CO129-030 - Bonham - 1849 [8-12]", "page_number": 301, "title": "CO129-030 - Bonham - 1849 [8-12]", "content_text": "(Document referred to in Commander Hay's Despatch.)\n\nOfficers of Her Majesty's Service employed in Boats, with Small Arm Detachments, and in Phlegethon.\n\nLieutenants James H.

Passed the Lady Mary Wood, on the 22nd instant, to the Northward of Turnabout near the use of the Attorney General, and just outside Formosa, on the 24th instant, spoke the American brig \"Getes,\" whose gang of workmen were busily employed in setting up the large iron gates at the bottom of Gough Street.\n\nDEAR SIR—Having had occasion to be in Gough Street yesterday (Sunday) morning, I was surprised to see this usually quiet street a scene of bustle and activity, and thinking that I had seen it announced in the Colonial Gazette that no Government or Police work was allowed on the Sabbath, I merely wish to know: 1. If any new private instructions have been given to Contractors or others to set aside this Government order. 2. If not, it is a high disgrace that Government should allow its servants to employ labourers on public work on a \"day of rest.\"\n\nI merely state what I saw almost under the windows of our Lieutenant Governor's house and opposite the house of the Registrar General and the Collector of Police &c., several Chinese workmen were employed in repairing the road; lower down the street, near the house of the Attorney General, and just outside Formosa, on the 24th instant, spoke the American brig \"Getes,\" whose gang of workmen were busily employed in setting up the large iron gates at the bottom of Gough Street.\n\nVox Populi is not admissible on the ground, amongst others, that the writer falls into the errors which he condemns. In addition—the letter is anonymous.\n\nJ. BOWRING,\n\nTo the Honorable COLONEL DUNLOP,\n\nThe Colonel issues the following Memo., attaching to it the Governor's letter, which requires that all the stolen property be forthwith returned to the Government Office:\n\n[No. 17—APRIL 29, 1857.]\n\nMemo. The undersigned offers notice that parties who have any articles which were taken at Cowloon will immediately return them to this Office. Officers are requested to state their names, or that they have returned all to this Office.\n\nBy order,\n\n(Signed) JOHN KING, Captain,\n\nTown Major.\n\nTOWN MAJOR'S OFFICE, 25th April, 1857.\n\nThe officers naturally felt annoyed at having such accusations made against them, and their several replies are amusing enough. They run thus:\n\n1. \"Have nothing—I never took anything.\"\n\n2. \"I have not stolen anything.\"\n\n3. \"I have not stolen anything.\"\n\n4. \"Seen.\"\n\n5. \"Not a legal question—stole nothing.\"\n\n6. \"Stole nothing.\"\n\n7. \"Stole nothing.\"\n\n8. \"Stole nothing: the two hats Dr. Bridges said there was no bar in taking. I have already returned.\"\n\n9. \"I have stolen nothing.\"\n\n10. \"Has stolen nothing.\"\n\n11. \"I took nothing away from Cowloon.\"\n\n12. \"I have not stolen anything.\"\n\nThis was not all; one of them afterwards wrote a letter demanding an apology under the threat of \"court of inquiry.\" We have not this intermediate correspondence, but the fellow who signs himself \"X X X\" in the China Mail, has said, so it has come to pass, the Registration Ordinance is progressing, and we have an altered and amended—if not improved draft copy of the Ordinance in the last Government Gazette.\n\nThe Band of the 59th Regiment will be performing to-morrow on the Parade Ground, weather permitting, at 4½ p.m., the following pieces:—\n\nMarch—\"Souvenir des Alpes\"—Leitzer.\n\nPolka—\"Jalve.\"\n\nSelection 4—\"Quadrilles Mouton.\"\n\nWaltz—\"Auf dem Lufte, Gung'—Strauss.\n\nGallop—\"Corsa\"—Kulorer.\n\nWe beg to return our sincere thanks to His Excellency Sir John Bowring Knt. LL.D. &c. for so kindly furnishing us with the precis of the contents of the papers taken at the attack on Cowloon, &c.\n\nBetween that and \"stolen\" there is a mighty difference in the minds of some people. We will illustrate the difference by telling the following story:—A Leith wine merchant whose business had been declining, and upon whom a strong desire for military fame just at the same time fell, was glad to take service with Don Pedro when he contended with Miguell for the throne of Portugal.\n\nIt would have been for him had he in the course of his universal acquirements stumbled upon the precaution of the good Chamundas; or had looked nearer one at the protector-te of Olyfe the hammer, when the community was governed without Laws. Back leginnion, however, was not suited to the busy, meddling mind of Wilmi le Teary. On the contrary, he conceived that the true wisdom of legislation consisted in the multiplicity of laws. He accordingly had great punishments for great crimes, and little punishments for little offences. By degrees the whole surface of society was cut up by ditches and fences, and quickset hedges of the law, and even the sequestered paths of private life so hemmed by petty rules and ordinances, too numerous to be remembered, that one now] could walk a large within the risk of having off a spring-gun or falling into a man-trap—\"Knicker\"-bocker's History of New York.\"\n\nTo the Editor of the \"China Mail.\"\n\nThe COVENT, 1st April, 1857.\n\nDEAR MR. F——\n\nMy wife (who can fight anticly for my peace of mind) derives her views of Hongkong politics from the Friend of China. Upon the ideas of the mild expositor of Sir John's responsibilities, she grafts a few of her own, and the following shortly shadows forth the result.\n\nWas Colony ever at such a pass\n\nWhat with poison, Sed riots, de dear that gas.\n\nA pretty large role of ill it will sum to\n\nThe taxes increasing, such a state the police in,\n\nAnd coolies refusing to carry our chairs;\n\nIf you'd know why this was, it is simply because\n\nThat horrid Sir John's authe Board of affairs!\n\nHe has truly thrown things in a terrible mix,\n\nAnd no wonder it is that with ge we are tow'ring;\n\nLa jury pays a,\" when the public\n\nWhy, who is the party to blame but Sir John?\n\nThe responsible man.—if your servants are capable,\n\nIf your carriage raptures, or child falls down stairs,\n\nFor sourbour, bad potatoes, or premature babi\n\nIs that dreadful old man at the head of affairs!\n\nJust look how he went and black-holed those poor bakers,\n\n(As it must be admitted they'd given you cause,)\n\nAl then four out Murrow & Co. to be breakers\n\nBy housing some coolies) of liberty's laws.\n\nFor struggling young orlenists ain't le a rush nares.*\n\nNor Christian nor Pagan is safe from his energet\n\nHet in happy to heap our dear chaplain's dham Gua\n\nThis cruel old man at the head of affairs!\n\nIf the ad come too late, or fire catches a chimney,\n\nIf our sleep is histure'd by a noisy cock,\n\nEve it a man-of-war strikes on a rock.\n\nf the sun is too hot, or the street lamps burn dim—nay,\n\nthe bugs at the school of St Andrew are lousy,\n\nOr the 59th Band plays unpopular airs;\n\nIf offcids are idle, or paracas are affils!\n\nIt's all the old as it the head\n\nBy his hobbies not only the clothes get se mangled,\n\n\"That buttons and darts take the wake of one's timiz,\n\nBut we're liable, too, in our beds t\n\nto be strangled,\n\nAnd he won't hang the man who emitted the crime.\n\nJould know how his sid yazilation\n\nIf he the load of ane's family rates,\n\nIncremes\n\nHe would practise (what I can't, fin enre) resignation,\n\nAnd put that dear end at the head of affairs.\n\n(Morita loquitur)\n\nAnd now. you've done, pray let me have a word to\n\n(That politics sextainly not a good hand)\n\nI would have you remember it's very absurd, to\n\nTalk about things that you don't understand.\n\nIf he'd three heads, His Cerberas, still be'd have reason\n\nTo say he's tough work to grizzle his air;\n\nAnd I really believe, in' you'll think it high tresom,\n\nWo might have a wote inan at the head of affairs.\n\n*Tron, WELDA.\n\nThe Hongkong Register.\n\nHONGKONG, TUESDAY, 26 APRIL 1857.\n\nRooms, where such documents as the government desires to make known are supplied for the use of all the papers without respect to party or color. It would of course be expecting too much from a man who was only a radical member of parliament any such liberality—that style of individual does not act in such a way. All his liberality is expended in clap-trap, and when the time of action comes, he is found to be nothing but a windbag—As for the Mail we could expect no courtesy from it in such a case.\n\nThe Coromandel returned to harbour on the morning of the 26th, from the survey of the rock on which the unfortunate Raleigh struck. The survey was made by Captain Bates, who was accompanied by Mr. Williams, Master of the state that so well known Raleigh, and when then for him.\n\nAs we are a day behind the for, thanks to our kind friends, the above firm, we think it unnecessary to republish the documents, but we call attention to the reasonable inference drawn by the\n\nThere is one drop of comfort in this bucket of filth—the Ordinance never will be carried out, not even when the gloss of novelty is upon it. There is no staff of officials to carry it out.\n\nWe may therefore rest satisfied that the minds of the Chinese will not be undermined by this Ordinance, and the only bad effect of it will be to disgrace a British Statute book. Spies there are, and will be—like other vermin they are useful and can be dispensed with; but the more we can do without them the better, and we hope never to see the day when the inhabitants of a whole colony shall turn spies, and no one however respectable be safe.\n\nThe Sampson has had an engagement with pirates near Mi-chin bay, to the South of the entrance of the Straits of Hainan. The steamer had followed them up to this place which it appears they have made their rendezvous for some time past.\n\nThe result of a sharp and successful contest was the complete defeat of the Pirates who were compelled to retire, having about 200 killed, wounded, or prisoners, in the hands of the assailants. We have not heard of any serious casualties to any of the Sampson crew.\n\nXI. A Chinese Houses shall be divided into things or Káp of Ten Houses each, wherein every Occupier of a House shall answer to Her Majesty for the good conduct of the occupiers of the other nine; and Occupier of a House shall be Kápcheong or Thingman to be elected by common vote of the said Tithing or Kap to that office, subject to the approval of this Government, and he shall be the proper Representative of the said Tithing or Kap, and be distinguished by some Badge to be appointed by His Excellency, and he shall hold his said office during one year; and no other person shall assume the title or badge of Kápcheong of such Tithing or Káp.\n\nXIV. It shall be the duty of every Occupier of House to report to his Kápcheong without delay, to the utmost of his skill and knowledge, all Cases, Suspicions of Crime, committed or to be committed, and respectively, for all the purposes of this Ordinance, to be aiding and assisting to the said Kápcheong in the execution of the same; and further, to do his utmost to prevent all crimes, felonies, and misdemeanours, and to apprehend all persons whom he shall find in the actual commission of the same.\n\nIV. It shall be the duty of the Kápcheong to communicate forthwith to the Registrar General all such reports as in Section Fourteen are mentioned, when the same are received by him; and likewise to report to him to the utmost of his skill and knowledge, all Cases, or Suspicions of Crime, whether reported from the Kap or not; and in all other respects to discharge the duties and exercise the powers of a Constable of the Police Force of Hongkong, so as the same are altered by this Ordinance.\n\nThis is the spy system on which the Ordinance rests.\n\nWe give below part of a correspondence between Sir John Bowring and the officers who were employed on the descent lately made on Cowloon, powerful in her armament and crew as the Sampson is.\n\nGovernment Office, 25th April, 1857.\n\nMY DEAR COLONEL—I have been quite shocked to hear that, among other things, the official sent were eiti- Register\" or \"Register's Advertiser, please address to the \"Printer and Publisher\n\nWe further learn that the Chinese captured have been given up to the Mandarins at Amoy, and that the Portuguese taken are to be handed over to the Macao Authorities.\n\nThe expedition to Chek-chun was accompanied by Mr. Wan and acquainted with only one of the inculpating facts by surprise. A large number of \"braves\" were found concealed in the city, and a few house before the attack.\n\nThere is no evidence that poisoning as an art has been practiced in China, and we search her annals in vain for a case parallel to that of Hongkong.\n\nThe pith failed through the dilatoriness of the mandarins sent for distribution among a portion of the attacked force, & quantity of a perennial creeper found on the hills of the central provinces. Its botanical character, as well as its precise physiological action, we have yet to ascertain.\n\nIts active principle appears to be highly volatile, and great exactness is needed in preparing it. Several of Mr. Markwick's gold wristlets were found concealed in a two watchkeys, a ring, and a gold watch and chain had also been pawned to pay a gambling debt, but were not in league with the police.\n\nThe expedition to Cowloon was accompanied by Dr. Bridges, Mr. Caldwell being confined to his room with illness and though the inslemency of the weather prevented it from starting till day light, several hours after the time contemplated, the soldiers were within a hundred yards of the fort ere the Chinese thought of even closing the gates.\n\nThe doors were instantly scaled, the gates opened, and the fort taken possession of, without the longest violence being used towards the Chinese.\n\nIt is said that not far from every poison tree the antidotes were ordered from the Pacific to join Commandant was of course in a state of great alarm.\n\nNOTICE TO MARINERS.\n\nShanglus, 23d March, 1857.

The following items are from the Japan Times:—\n\nWe are still unable to give the name of the new port on the West coast. We are glad to find that our fear that Tsurunga would be chosen was unfounded; the foreign Ministers have expressed themselves strongly against it. The Serpent, one of H.B.M.'s surveying ships, is now engaged examining all the apparently eligible harbours on the West coast, and some weeks must necessarily elapse before Captain Bullock can make his report.\n\nOur news from Osaka are by no means satisfactory; they augur anything but ease for the Shingoon and peace for the empire. Consequently, unless existing difficulties can be previously arranged, we cannot anticipate much advantage for ourselves when the ports are opened next year. The combination of Daimios against the Shiogoon, to which we alluded last mail, we have now ascertained to be an actual and threatening reality. They very naturally object to the extension of a trade in which they have no share, and the profits from which only strengthen an able and dangerous rival, whom they shrewdly suspect of a design to become their absolute master.\n\nIt appears that Osaka not being strictly his own port, the Shiogoon, by taking the responsibility of promising that it shall be opened in 1868, has so far committed himself that the Daimios opposed to him have just ground of complaint that they had not been previously consulted. They carefully avoided giving him any opportunity of consulting them, it must be remarked, by steadily refusing to attend the conference which he has repeatedly endeavoured to assemble for the purpose. They declare that Osaka shall not be opened, unless foreign trade is also permitted at certain points in their own dominions, and Satsuma, Chiosiu, Echizen, Tosa, and Kanga have declared that if Osaka be opened in 1868, they will themselves invite foreigners to trade at their own ports. It is difficult to say how this can be prevented with any show of right, and very easy to see that much evil will result from the fulfilment of their threat. Subjects of Powers having treaties with the Shiogoon can be punished for trading at any of his ports not opened by those treaties, but at ports out of his territory, and where his authority is not acknowledged, we can see nothing to prevent traders doing whatever business they can, particularly when specially invited by the Sovereign of that country.\n\nOn the other hand, foreign Powers will certainly never make a number of separate treaties with these individual Daimios, and, consequently, foreign traders repairing to their ports would have to do so on their own responsibility, and would be without the inestimable advantage of consular protection. Probably business trade, by means of coasting vessels, supercargos, and receiving ships, a system the evils and inconveniences of which are manifest. The development of the Japan trade has been so...\n\n#### PASSENGERS OUTWARD.\n\nPer P. and O. steamer Euxine, from Southampton, August 4-To Shanghai: Mrs. Algernon Wright and child.

The classes assembled about ten o'clock as usual, for the purposes of being examined by any visitor who might choose to do so; but, as was the case last year, only a very few availed themselves of the opportunity of testing the proficiency of the boys in any of their studies. We saw several of the classes examined, and the pupils all acquitted themselves very satisfactorily. We do not know how it is that so little practical interest seems to be taken by the residents of Hongkong in an institution like the Central School. The boys are there to be examined by anyone who wishes to do so, and that only one or two should go there year after year for this purpose is neither creditable to the community, nor encouraging to Mr. Stewart and his assistants. If the same facility be afforded on the next occasion, about which there is some doubt, we hope it will be taken advantage of.\n\nAt noon, H.E. the Governor and Capt. O'Callaghan arrived. The classes were then filed into the Lecture Hall, or at least as many of the classes as it could accommodate; and when we say that the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth had to remain in their own rooms, and that barely half the number of boys in attendance could be present when the prizes were distributed, we think we have said enough to show that the Government ought to provide adequate school accommodation, and set about doing so at once.\n\nAmong the visitors present, besides a number of ladies, were Hon. J. G. Austin, Hon. C. C. Smith, Hon. P. Ryrie, Hon. J. Bramston, Captain Deane, Mr. Tonnochy, Mr. Russell, Rev. Dr. Eitel, Rev. J. O. Edge, Rev. Lechler, &c.

There are actually in school this day 325, and the total that ought to be here, but are prevented by sickness and other causes, is 355. That I think is really a very large number of boys to be educated in one school; and to show the advantages which they derive from it, it appears that during the past year 165 boys have left the school. Some of these are engaged in various Government and mercantile offices in Hongkong, others have entered the Chinese Customs service, while many have been engaged by Chinese firms, or obtained situations and gone to other countries.\n\nThis fact ought to show all the boys present the very great benefits which have been and are continually derived from attendance at the school. None of those boys I have referred to would probably have been able to obtain situations or enter any of these employments but for the efficient training they have had here. I am very sure that all those who have left the school even now are thankful that early in life they began to appreciate the very great benefits to be derived from their attendance here. This fact ought to encourage those who are now here, and I am sure that in after years they will feel grateful for the great attention bestowed upon them.\n\nI would beg all the boys here not to judge of the interest—the very deep interest that I take in the welfare of the school in any measure by the number of visits I make to it. I am content to leave well alone. I know that all your masters do their duty, I have entire confidence in the discretion of your able Superintendent, and therefore I meddle with it as little as possible. But I know by results, by common report, and from those who are capable of forming an opinion, that the school is making very respectable progress.\n\nThere is one matter which has been mentioned to me by persons whose opinion I respect. It is a matter which I am unwilling to touch upon, but I have been asked to say something to clear up the misunderstandings that I believe are abroad—not very widely I am happy to say—on the subject of the absence of religious instruction at this school. I think it must appear to anybody of common sense, with the great number of nationalities that we have represented here, that it would be impossible to carry out such a thing with any good results. I can say for myself, and I think I may say the same for the Superintendent here, Mr. Stewart, although I have not consulted with him on the subject, that it is a great error to suppose that we are in any way opposed to religious instruction by itself.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-170 - Sir Kennedy - 1875 [1-3] -- Acting Governor Austin - 1875 [3-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 311573, "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": "CO129-198 - Governor Hennessy Acting Governor Tonnochy - 1882 [3]", "page_number": 9, "title": "CO129-198 - Governor Hennessy Acting Governor Tonnochy - 1882 [3]", "content_text": "## 11. Sheds with screens of canvas on rollers have been put up for the better cultivation of Ferns and some other plants which cannot be well grown unless they are protected from the powerful sun-rays and heavy rains. The plants grown in these structures have shown a marked improvement for the extra care bestowed upon them. These sheds and the orchid-house are, I hope, the fore-runners of more ornamental and accessible structures which might, with advantage, be added to our acknowledged beautiful, but small gardens.\n\n## 12. The Aviaries and Orchid-house which were in a very dilapidated state have been repaired and put in a fairly effective condition. The Monkey-house has not been repaired, although it is very much decayed. The house is, I believe, badly placed for the health of the animals; scarcely any sun can ever enter the house, and it is exposed to all the cold weather which we get from the northerly winds. I would strongly recommend the abandonment of the place altogether and the keeping of monkeys, unless a proper house could be provided for them. The structure is of wood, and ever since it was erected it has been constant trouble and expense to keep the animals in the house, as they are continually eating away and pulling down the boards of which the house is constructed.\n\n## 13.

During the year under notice the following plants, hitherto unrecorded as being indigenous to Hongkong, have been discovered in the Island: \n- Asplenium lunulatum\n- Sonerila tenera\n- Otanthera Fordii, Hance, novum species\n\n## 15. Dr. KING, Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Calcutta, kindly presented for the library a copy of Griffith's **Palms of India**.\n\n## 16. As the gardens are becoming crowded, the interchange of plants and seeds has not been conducted with quite so much vigour as in former years when there was more necessity for the importation of plants to stock the newly formed portions of the garden. The number of contributors was 32, from whom 677 plants and 145 packets and parcels of seeds, and 8 birds and animals were received. 1,834 plants and 190 packets and parcels of seeds were supplied from the garden to 41 recipients.\n\n## 17.

The following trees were planted during the year:\n| Tree Type | Number |\n| --- | --- |\n| Pinus sinensis two-year old plants size from 4 ft. to 10 ft. high sown in situ | 210,542 |\n| Aleurites triloba (Candleberry-tree) sown in situ | 144,948 |\n| Eucalyptus spp. (Gum-trees) | 61 |\n| Cupressus torulosa (Bhotan Cypress) | 862 |\n| Bamboos | 60,555 |\n| Quercus salicina | ... |\n| Quercus Harlandi | ... |\n| Ficus retusa (Banian) large trees transplanted | 1,900 |\n| Pinus canariensis (Canary Island Pine) | 24 |\n| Cupressus funebris (Funereal Cypress) | 16 |\n| Syncarpia laurifolia (Turpertine-tree) | 23 |\n| Grevillea robusta (Silky Oak) | 26 |\n| Dammara robusta | 1,537 |\n| Stillingia sebifera (Tallow-tree) | 452 |\n| Albizzia Lebbek | 164 |\n| Miscellaneous | 50 |\n| Total | 211,015 |\n\n## 19. Nine years experience has shown that two-year old seedlings of Pinus sinensis cannot be successfully and economically planted in consequence of the roots penetrating the soil to such a distance that balls of soil cannot be kept adhering so perfectly as desirable to the roots. No seeds of any kind were sown in the nurseries during 1879 for a supply of trees which should have been provided for planting during the year under notice, therefore when the Afforestation Department was returned to my charge in the end of the year 1879 I found that there was nothing available for planting except the refuse in the nurseries after the planting of 1879 had been finished, and these remaining trees were, through having been too much crowded, attenuated and very unpromising subjects for planting on the exposed hills, for which sturdy well grown plants should always be prepared. It was, however, advisable to do something with the available trees, therefore the worst weak and sickly trees were pulled up and sacrificed, to afford what benefit could be obtained during three or four months, which intervened between that time and the tree-planting season, to the trees which were selected for planting. In the face of these drawbacks it was anticipated that, however careful we might be in transplanting, a large percentage of deaths would inevitably ensue, a result which occurred, but not to the extent anticipated; about 20 per cent. only succumbed.\n\n## 20. About seven years ago an experiment was made of sowing seeds of Pinus sinensis in situ, that is, small places, each about a foot square, were dug and levelled on the hillside where it was intended trees should grow, and on these sites a few seeds were sown. The trees on the plots of ground thus treated succeeded so well, and finding also that the trees reared by the villagers on Chinese territory and on this island had been thus reared, I was induced to prepare and sow 60,000 sites in the same manner. The seedlings on these sites having given sufficient promise of succeeding, a much larger area—viz., nearly 600 acres, containing about 650,000 sites—was selected for this mode of afforestation during 1881. Although the trees reared in situ do not grow so vigorously for the first few years as those reared in and transplanted from nurseries, still the method has much to recommend it. Taking it for granted that the same amount voted for afforestation during this year will be granted annually until the wooding of the island is completed, we shall be able to accomplish this desirable object in a quarter of the time, by sowing in situ, of that necessary under the nursery system. When the trees are large enough to fell for firewood, &c., a financial return for the outlay expended upon them can, it is hoped, be obtained by judicious periodical thinning and felling of portions of the plantations.\n\n## 21. It is still desirable that nurseries, although on a smaller scale, should be maintained for raising a supply of trees for planting in situations where sowing in situ may be impracticable, and also for rearing other than pine trees which demand nursery treatment preparatory to planting, as it will be an object kept steadily in view to experiment with, and introduce, where successful, such foreign trees as are suitable for our soil, climate, and exposure, as will relieve the monotonous aspect of too much of any one kind of tree, besides, if possible, introducing others which may be valuable for timber or other economic uses.\n\n## 22. As will be seen by the foregoing list several other than pine trees have been planted. I may mention first the Eucalypti of which over 1,500, comprising about a dozen kinds, were planted. Where these were planted amongst three-year planted pines they succeeded fairly well; Eucalyptus citriodora, the lemon-scented gum, having grown to, in some instances, 9 feet high in ten months, the largest having a circumference of 3 inches at one foot from the ground. Those planted away from the shelter of other trees have not done so well. The pine trees on the large area planted during 1880 will be about the right size in 1883 to be good nurses for other trees which I would advise being planted amongst them. It would be necessary to begin the preparation of such trees next year. More trees of the lemon-scented gum would have been planted last year, but it was impossible, in consequence of the limited supply in its native country, Queensland, to obtain sufficient seeds.\n\n## 23. On the spur of Mount Gough jutting out towards Head Quarter House, above Kennedy Road, the sky-line of the ridge, at the instigation of His Excellency the Governor, was planted. Large bamboos, oaks (Quercus salicina, and Q. Harlandi), pines, and banians were used. The effect is very good, and the plantation a marked improvement to the scenery on the upper side of the above named road.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-198 - Governor Hennessy Acting Governor Tonnochy - 1882 [3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 326689, "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": "CO129-218 - Administrator Marsh Governor Sir Bowen & Others - 1884 [11-12]", "page_number": 153, "title": "CO129-218 - Administrator Marsh Governor Sir Bowen & Others - 1884 [11-12]", "content_text": "150 \n\ndecidedly have hesitated before expending, apart from Incidental Expenses £45.0 : 0 or $2460 £45.00 $246! on the passage of our English Nurse, unless I had relied, in the absence of any notice having been previously promulgated in the Colony, on the usual payment made by the Colonial Government of one third of the expenditure incurred.\n\nYour Lordship's obedient humble Servant, Captain Meane, Superintendent.\n\nList of Members of this Service who have been allowed a proportionate sum of $8.500 and an allowance.\n\n| Name | Particulars | Amount |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| A.

A working party in charge of an Officer was at once sent on shore with appliances for bringing off the \"skid\" which was left by H.M.S. Mercury, but nothing of the kind was to be found, although the whole island underwent the most careful search by the party who landed; it is presumed that Chinese fishermen must have broken it up and carried it away for firewood. Two Chinese fishermen however were found living in a small hut on the island and though the skid was described to them they denied any knowledge of having seen it.\n\n3. I inspected the graves and found them all in good order and quite untouched by any marauding Chinese or fisherman and nothing required doing to them excepting perhaps substantial crosses fixed over the grave mounds to make the respective places more prominent. The two fishermen already alluded to explained, through an interpreter, that there was no fear of anyone molesting the graves or obelisk.\n\n4. I walked around every part of the island and saw nothing further of interest. The obelisk appears firmly planted on the top of the Northern hill and can be seen a long distance, in fact in clear weather it can be made out from the lighthouse, a distance of 10 miles, the keeper informing me he had often made it out.\n\nThe words on the obelisk are as follows:-\n\nErected by the residents of Hongkong in memory of those who perished in the wreck of\n\n\"the S.S. Bokhara on the 10th October, 1892.\"\n\nI was somewhat surprised to find that the names of the Europeans who were lost on this sad occasion were omitted.\n\n5. Mr. B. WATKINS, Engineer of this ship, accompanied me on shore and various photographic views of the obelisk and scene of the disaster were taken, which will be duly forwarded when they are completed.\n\n6. I think we were fortunate in successfully landing. The Sampson was employed on the wreck of the Bokhara from October, 1892, to May, 1893, during which time she had only 16 working days, which shows how rare occasions are on which a landing on Sand, and neighbouring islands, can be effected during the N.E. monsoon, which wind prevails at the Pescadores 9 months out of the year.\n\n7. There is nothing left to be seen of the Bokhara above water, but I am informed in calm weather the boilers and engines can be distinctly made out at the bottom in about eight fathoms. I went to look at the place where she was wrecked, but in consequence of the heavy surf could not get close enough to see for myself.\n\n8. H.M.S. Porpoise, having performed the duties on which she was sent, left Sand Island on 31st December, 1893, at 9.30 A.M. and arrived at Hongkong on the 1st January, 1894.\n\n(Signed), J.

THE GOVERNOR'S RECEPTION.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, by command of His Majesty the King, held a reception at Government House last night, which was attended by an enormous number of residents. The guests passed from Government House into the Public Gardens, where admirable arrangements had been made for their reception.\n\n## THE DELEGATES FROM THE PHILIPPINES.\n\nA meeting of the Sanitary Board was held on June 22nd at the Board Room. Mr. E.D.C. Wolfe presided, and there were present: - Hon. Mr. V. Chatham, C.M.G., (Vice-President), Colonel Bedford, P.M.O., Mr. A. Shelton Hooper, Mr. Cha Pak, Mr. Ng Hon Tsz, Dr. F. Clark (Medical Officer of Health), Dr. J.W. Hartley (Assistant Medical Officer of Health), and Mr. Bowen Rowlands (Secretary).\n\n### ABERDEEN MARKET AND SLAUGHTER-HOUSE.\n\nA minute was submitted by the President relative to the plan of the market and slaughter-house building at Aberdeen. The President stated that the site which the Board approved a month ago had been laid out, and plans had been circulated for the proposed market and slaughter-house. He proposed that the plans be approved.\n\n(June 24, 1911.)\n\nThe PRESIDENT: That is so, and I don't think it right that when persons want to be buried in the Colonial Cemetery they should ask a missionary to baptise them.\n\nMr. HOOPER stated that just after the Ordinance was passed, he had an interview with the Bishop on the subject, and he gathered from his Lordship's observations that he did not approve of anyone who had not been a Christian for some years being baptised until the end of a period of probation. Mr. Hooper thought three months was the time mentioned, but he was not sure. He was quite with the President, and he did not think the relatives of the deceased would wish to take advantage of the law by complying, perhaps technically, and, say five minutes before death, baptising a person to enable him to be buried there, whereas, if he died a week before, he would be buried in a place with his own religious rites. He thought the matter might stand over till next meeting to see if they could adopt any general principle for the guidance of the committee, and they could get what information they could on the subject from those who knew more about it than themselves.\n\nThe committee... Delayed through stress of weather, the steamer Rizal conveying the American Delegates representing the Philippines did not arrive in port until Thursday morning. The vessel was expected on the previous day, and on Wednesday evening His Excellency the Governor had arranged a big dinner party in honour of the visitors. Owing to the delay of the Rizal, however, this had to be cancelled.\n\n## A THORNY POINT.\n\nThe report of the committee relative to the burial of the remains of Mr. Cho Tong Howe in the Colonial Cemetery was submitted. The PRESIDENT stated that before asking members to adopt the report in this case, he would like to point out what actually happened since a certain portion of the Colonial Cemetery was consecrated and a letter sent to members of different missionary societies and churches in Hongkong. This letter pointed out that unless a person was baptised, he could not be buried in the Colonial Cemetery. Since then, a number of people, who in the ordinary course of events would have been buried at Mt. Caroline, had been referred to different missionary societies and had been baptised practically on their death-beds.\n\nThe President, under the authority of the Board, had been delegated to state whether these persons could be buried in the Colonial Cemetery or not. He found the question rather difficult, and after bringing the matter before the Board, it was settled that should the resident not be satisfied that a person was eligible for burial in the Colonial Cemetery, he should refer the matter to the select committee. He had done this, but certain difficulties had arisen in getting the committee to decide what should be done in these cases. Very often the undertaker, or the relative of a person who wished to be buried in the Colonial Cemetery, went to his office at ten o'clock, or later in the morning, and asked permission for interment in the Colonial Cemetery. Arrangements had already been made for the interment to take place that day, and unless proof was forthcoming that the man was a Christian, the interment might have to be postponed.\n\nHon. Mr. Hewett mentioned: - This is a very thorny point, and while not wishing to say anything to hurt anyone's feelings, but it was not until Thursday morning that the steamer Rizal arrived.\n\nColonel BEDFORD said he entirely associated himself with the views enunciated by the President on this point. The matter was referred to the committee.\n\nBrigadier-General J.J. Pershing, Governor of Moro Province, Lieut. Swift, Aide, Hon. C.B. Elliott (Secretary of Commerce and Police) and Mrs. Elliott, Captain Holmes, Aide, Colonel and Mrs. J.I. Chamberlain, Mr. and Mrs. Charles P.C. Derham, Dr. Freer, Director of the Bureau of Science, were among the visitors.\n\nOn the arrival of the steamer yesterday, the visitors were met by Captain Taylor, A.D.C., Captain Simpson, A.D.C. of Major General Anderson, Mr. C.H. Ross, and Mr. N.J. Stabb. A guard of honour, drawn from the K.O.Y.L.I., was drawn up before Blake Pier to receive Brigadier-General Pershing, and as the distinguished visitor and his party landed, the guard came to the salute. After the usual inspection, the Philippine Delegates were convoyed to the residences of their hosts.\n\nBrigadier-General Pershing, the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Elliott, Captain Holmes, and Mr. Swift are the guests of His Excellency the Governor. Colonel and Mrs. Chamberlain and Captain Locke are quartered with Major General Anderson at Headquarters House; Mr. and Mrs. Derham are the guests of Mr. C.H. Ross; and Dr. Freer is staying with Mr. and Mrs. N.J. Stabb.\n\nH.E. Mr. W. Cameron Forbes, Governor-General of the Philippine Islands, in confirming his telegram giving the personnel of the Delegation coming to Hongkong to represent the Philippine Islands at the Coronation celebrations, wrote to Sir Francis Piggott, the Chairman of the Coronation Celebrations Committee:\n\n**\"I regret very much that owing to the Vice-Governor's absence, it is impossible for me to leave the Philippines at this time, or I would have taken much pleasure in saying that certain missionary societies thought fit in naming a Delegation to represent these Islands in Hongkong at the festivities attending the Coronation and to convey to the British Colony in your city our warmest congratulations and good wishes in connection with that interesting event.\"**\n\n\"You will doubtless have received before this arrives my two cablegrams, in response to the very kind invitation extended in your letter of 31st May. The cordial sentiments which prompted the suggestion of your Committee were much appreciated and, I need hardly add, heartily reciprocated by my fellow countrymen in these islands.\"\n\nMr. JAU CHU Pak: - What does the law say on the subject? Is there any definition of a Christian in law? I don't think the Board can decide.\n\nThe PRESIDENT: - The Ordinance states that a portion of the Cemetery is set apart for Christian burial, and I say that a person should be recognised as a Christian.\n\nMr. Lau CHU Pak: - Should be recognised as a Christian.\n\nMr. HOOPER seconded, and the motion was agreed to.\n\n## THE TIGER REDIVIVUS.\n\nApparently, we have not yet heard the last of the tiger or the wild animal which has been committing depredations in the outlying parts of the Colony and the New Territory. Though nothing has been reported of late concerning the doings of the unwelcome visitor, it now appears that he has been fairly active since he was at Stanley and in the neighbourhood of Shaukiwan. Information now reaches us that a wild animal has been committing extensive depredations among cattle in Lantau Island. He seems to have found his way to Nim Wai, near Silver Bay, and there killed two cattle. From there, he proceeded round the south side of the island, visiting practically every village until he reached Shui Peak, where he killed a couple of bullocks. Thence, he continued round the North side of the island and got to the village next to Tai O police station and killed some cattle. Depredations were also reported from Tung Chung. In all, about 20 cattle have been destroyed on Lantau by this animal.\n\nThe villagers are offering large rewards for the destruction of the animal, some villages offering as much as $50.\n\nSeveral of the police have visited the villages on the island and examined the animals. In many cases, the hind quarters of the beasts had been devoured.\n\nThe animal has not been seen at close quarters, but the traces suggest a tiger or leopard or some quadruped of this species.\n\nPage 433", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 443134, "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": "CO129-401 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [5-6]", "page_number": 172, "title": "CO129-401 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [5-6]", "content_text": "# IMPERIAL WIRELESS COMMITTEE\n## 17th Meeting\n\nThe Committee met on the 7th July 1913 when there were present:\n\n- Major Boys (War Office)\n- Mr. De Wardt\n- Mr. Frost (Post Office)\n- Mr. Gunton\n- Commander Kettlewell (Admiralty)\n- Commander Loring (Post Office)\n- Colonel Macdonogh (War Office)\n- Mr. Shaughnessy (Post Office)\n- Mr. Johnson (Colonial Office)\n- Mr. Simpson (India)\n- Mr. Nichols (Secretary)\n\n### East Africa Station\n\n1.

The Surveyor General was appointed Chairman of the Board. A Sanitary Inspector was appointed by the Secretary of State and three Inspectors of nuisances were appointed locally. Chadwick's advice to have a full-time officer in charge of the Sanitary Department who would receive instructions from the Colonial Surgeon and Surveyor General was not followed for all four Inspectors were attached to the Survey Department or Department of Public Works.\n\n## \nIn 1887 was passed the Public Health Ordinance which gave the Governor power to appoint to the Sanitary Board a Chairman, a Vice-Chairman, a Secretary and four members leaving two members to be elected by rate payers on the Jury list. The Colonial Surgeon who was a clinician and actively engaged in the practice of medicine, surgery, and midwifery, was appointed President of the Sanitary Board and Head of the Sanitary Department. At that time sanitary science was in its infancy and had not yet won for itself the status of a special branch of medicine. From this period up to 1894 when Plague made its appearance public opinion was content to have a clinician as a chief sanitary officer. In this year the Plague which killed 2,485 persons thoroughly frightened the populace and caused an exodus of 100,000 souls. Enquiries made showed that the sanitary conditions were far from satisfactory and a request was made for the services of a health expert.\n\n## \nIn 1895 the first Medical Officer of Health was appointed. A Committee formed for the purpose of enquiring into the working of the Medical Department recommended that the M.O.H. should be adviser to the Governor on all sanitary matters through the Sanitary Board to which he would be attached but on which he would have no seat and no vote. The Government decided to place the M.O.H. on the Board as a full member. In this year the sanitary system of the Colony was severely criticised and an effort was made to persuade Government to create a Municipality similar to that of Shanghai or Singapore.\n\n## \nIn 1901, there being no abatement in the yearly Plague epidemics, public opinion was strong for improvement of the sanitary conditions of the Colony. Articles appeared in the Press severely criticising the standard of sanitation maintained and the general system of sanitary control. The movement for improvement culminated in a petition signed by many prominent citizens being sent to the Secretary of State asking for a Commission of enquiry by experts wholly unconnected with the Colony. The petitioners stated there had been no improvement in the sanitation for over 19 years and that the conditions were as bad as Chadwick reported on them in 1883.\n\n## \nIn August 1901 the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, expressed the opinion that a necessity existed for a plan of re-organisation of the Medical and Sanitary Departments. In September the Governor was of opinion that the P.C.M.O. should be in administrative control of the entire Medical Department including Health Officers and Port Health Officers and be relieved of duty at the Government Civil Hospital. A local Committee appointed to enquire into the numerical strength of the Medical Department and also the duties of the P.C.M.O. advised against this step and recommended that the Medical and Sanitary Departments be wholly separated, that the M.O.H. should be independent of the P.C.M.O. and that the Sanitary Department be under the administration of the Medical Officer of Health subject to the control of the Sanitary Board.\n\n## \nIn January 1902 arrived a Sanitary Commission appointed by the Secretary of State. This Commission consisted of two members viz. Mr. Chadwick, who had acted in a similar position in 1882, and Professor Simpson, Professor of Public Health at King's College, London, Lecturer on Tropical Sanitation at the London School of Tropical Medicine and an expert on Plague and Plague prevention.\n\n## \nMr. Chadwick's preliminary report was as follows:-\n\n1. He had no hesitation in saying that \"the housing is rather worse than better than it was in 1882. As regards area per person they are the same but as regards ground area they are worse owing to the large number of lofty houses which have been built in the last twenty years.\n\n## \nIn this matter the advice and recommendations made from time to time during the last twenty years have been practically set aside. The reason is the interests of the landed proprietors and the influence they have been able to bring before the Legislative Council. The Government has been loath to use its official majority.\n\nSince the advent of Plague the mercantile section of the Community has come to realise that their interests are not quite independent of the health of the Chinese population. Commerce is disturbed by the quarantine in other ports and otherwise and hence the petition which was sent to the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nThe Commercial and land owning interests are opposed, the former desire freedom from epidemic disease, the latter, the majority of which are Chinese, and not British subjects, desire to get the greatest possible rents which connotes overcrowded and insanitary buildings.\n\nOne thing is certain so long as buildings are overcrowded and insanitary, no amount of external sanitation will give immunity from disease. The Government should face the problem which is still awaiting solution elsewhere, viz: the housing of the working classes\".\n\n## \nMr. Chadwick recommended among other things : —\n| Recommendation |\n| --- |\n| (1) That the scavenging and removal of excreta be under the M.O.H |\n| (2) That the maintenance of all sewers, drains, storm water channels, and nullahs covered and open, be handed over to the Department of the Sanitary Board which is charged with the scavenging and street cleansing and that this department be under the Medical Officer of Health. |\n\n## \nProfessor Simpson in his preliminary report made the following observations— \n\"The houses in Hong Kong are too close together and too over-crowded and they are defective both in design and construction\". Mr. Chadwick referred to this in 1882. His report led to the passing of the Public Health Ordinance of 1887 which originally contained clauses providing for improvement in buildings by insisting on adequate open space in the rear of each. Owing to the strong opposition raised by the Chinese members of the Sanitary Board and others these clauses were deleted. It was represented that landed property to the extent of millions of dollars would be sacrificed, vested interests greatly interfered with and public confidence shaken to the ground.\n\nThe proximity of Hong Kong to the China Coast and the very intimate intercourse between the districts of Canton, the West River and Hong Kong together with the fact that in the towns and villages of South China infections disease is not notified, renders the problems of the prevention of disease very difficult. Medical inspection of the steamers is of little use as the journey is too short. Quarantine and surveillance is impracticable because of the numbers passing in and out daily.

The Military Authorities reported that sniping was being carried on by them, but although the detectives, headed by myself, carried out regular patrols throughout with a view to detection, and suppression we never experienced any ourselves. A number of cases of signalling were reported but none were substantiated. In the investigations and raids that followed two gangs of suspects were rounded up and handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department, Police Headquarters, No case of sabotage was reported to the Police. We arrested a large number of looters and would-be looters who were also handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department, Police Headquarters. About thirty members of a gang of would-be extortionists were arrested on one occasion. They had placarded a number of shops in Queen's Road East, Hennessey and Lockhart Roads stating that the premises would be \"protected\". A number of the men had, as our information led us to expect, filed daggers in their possession. There was no serious looting in Wanchai until the front line was in Percival Street and even then it took place in premises beyond it, i.e. The Imperial Chemical Industries Godowns and the Dairy Farm Ice & Cold Storage plant at East Point.\"\n\n12. Police Sergeant A 214 Mawer, officer in Charge, Bay View, states:- \"There were no rice riots or trouble in the district owing to the resource of Mr. J. Kotewall of the A.R.P. who organised the Kai Fong and persuaded them to buy rice and sell it at Government rates to genuine inhabitants of the Bay View area. All the A.R.P. personnel refused to evacuate when the enemy landing was reported and awaited the arrival of the Japanese.\n\n13. Police Sergeant A. Simpson, Officer in Charge, Stanley, states:- \"(i) There was no bombing of Stanley village. The Japanese concentrated on the Forts and Prison. (ii) The attack on Stanley Peninsula was met by a few men, many of them not regular troops and although reinforcements were asked for they were not sent. The Middlesex Headquarters at the Preparatory School did not turn them out until I went there myself at about 23.59 hours on the 24th December and reported to the Officer Commanding, a Captain, that the Japanese had broken through past No.1 Bungalow, and yet they must have heard the fighting at Stanley Village. (iii) The Stanley Warders platoon took part energetically in the defence of Stanley. They bore the brunt of the fighting in the village itself.\"", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-4 Reports on current situation- Police 14-11-1945 - 1-7-1946.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 593790, "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": "CO129-616-1 Correspondence on the production of a Cantonese-English dictionary; Report on a tour of South East... 1-1-1946 - 31-12-1947", "page_number": 78, "title": "CO129-616-1 Correspondence on the production of a Cantonese-English dictionary; Report on a tour of South East... 1-1-1946 - 31-12-1947", "content_text": "## 3. \n\n### (a) REPRESENTATIVES OF SERVICES **HONGKONG**\n\nBlakeley, F/Lt.
