When pressed for information, one of the Russian officers told me that the intention of the Russian Admiral was to transfer our crew to the first ship sighted.\n\nOn the 23rd, the Squadron spent most of the day coaling from transports.\n\nOn the 24th, at 7.20 a.m., a British tramp steamer passed bound to the westward. No means were taken to stop the ship, and when I asked why the vessel was not stopped and our crew transferred as promised, I was told that the Admiral had altered his intentions as regarded our disposal.\n\nOn the 25th, the Squadron left the cruiser Dnieper in charge of six colliers which the cruiser convoyed to the Saddles, off Shanghai, and at 2.30 p.m. the colliers anchored, and, after receiving pilots on board, proceeded up river. The Dnieper then put out to sea. On the 28th, we cruised all day in the vicinity of the Saddles, going at various speeds, and in the afternoon had a speed trial for one hour, the ship doing 16 knots, although she is built to do 19. But the foul state of her bottom accounts for this.\n\nI may mention here that some of the officers who were aboard spoke good English and one in particular was told off to look after us. I was told by one of the officers, after enquiring again as to their intention with regard to ourselves, that we were to be kept on board until at least the 2nd of June, after which time we were to be landed or transferred to any convenient ship, and set at liberty.\n\nOn the 27th, we were cruising about at various speeds to the northwest up towards the Korean Straits, but we did not go long on any particular course.\n\nOn Sunday, May 28, the commander of the Dnieper shook hands with the officers of the Oldhamia, and expressed his regret at having to detain us.\n\nAt 4.30 p.m. on the same day, the drums beat to quarters and the ship was cleared for action. This took place on sighting a small steamer, which turned out to be the Samson, of Shanghai. After the Samson had stopped, a boat was lowered and an officer and armed crew went alongside. At 5.30 the Samson was allowed to proceed and the Dnieper went on her way.\n\nOn May 29, several steamers were stopped and boarded, but were not detained. One of these was an Austrian steamer and two were Germans; but I do not remember their names.\n\nOn May 30, the ship steamed to southward at full speed. On Wednesday the 31st, at 6 a.m., we passed the northern end of the island of Formosa and steamed down the eastern side.\n\nOn June 1, at daylight, the island of Luzon came in sight, and at 8.30 a.m. a large German steamer named the Prinz Sigismund was stopped after three shots had been fired. She was boarded but allowed to proceed.\n\nIn the afternoon of that day and during the next day (June 2) the Dnieper stopped and the crew were employed in boats scraping and scrubbing the barnacles and grass from her sides. After sunset on the 2nd, the Dnieper again got under weigh and proceeded westward.\n\nOn June 4th at daylight, nothing particular having happened in the interval, land was sighted ahead and turned out to be the Chinese coast about 100 miles south of Swatow. The ship then steered to northward. At about 1.30 p.m. she stopped and boarded two steamers - one being a Butterfield and Swire boat and the other the steamer Waishing.\n\nThe crew of the Oldhamia were then allowed to leave the Dnieper, and were very kindly received on board the Waishing by Captain Courtney. The Waishing was bound to Swatow, and, when we had got on board, proceeded on her voyage, arriving at Swatow on June 5th at 1 a.m.\n\nI reported the circumstances of our capture on arrival to Lloyd's agent and the British Consul, and on the following day (6th inst.) we were...\n\nPage 134\nPage 605", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-328 - Governor Nathan - 1905 [1-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 396534, "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": "CO129-328 - Governor Nathan - 1905 [1-6]", "page_number": 614, "title": "CO129-328 - Governor Nathan - 1905 [1-6]", "content_text": "# Interview with Mr. Ison\n\nOur representative asked Mr. Ison, \"What manner of treatment was meted out to you on the Dneiper?\"\n\nDuring the long time we were on board the cruiser, we were treated with great kindness. They gave us the best they had on board; good quarters were allotted, and every privilege of a Russian officer extended to us. The sailors and firemen had to take pot-luck, of course, with the Russian crew. With the exception in their favour that they had no duties to perform, they were treated exactly in the same way as the men-of-war's men.\n\n\"How do you account for the somewhat erratic cruising of the Dneiper?\" they were asked. \"They were totally lost when they went to northward, I think. I am sure the first news they got of the naval battle at Tsushima was from Captain Courtney, of the Waishing. They were greatly surprised, and were slow to believe the reports. They said it was simply a story of the papers.\"\n\n\"Were they under any definite orders from the Admiral?\"\n\n\"I think they were acting according to the Admiral's instructions in cruising in the vicinity of Formosa to intercept vessels bound to Japan with contraband, and this duty the Dneiper may still be performing.\"\n\n\"Were you tied down in any way by rules and regulations on board?\"\n\n\"No, they gave us the full liberty of the ship, barring the navigating bridge, and we were told that we could consider ourselves entitled to all the privileges of officers. The roll was called going on board, previous to leaving, and when on board the Waishing. The rules we had to conform to were simply those of the Russian naval service, and they were fully explained to us. None of the rules were irksome. We were not to smoke on deck and were not to appear in the wardroom in undress—that is, minus a collar or tie. The Dneiper, having formerly been a passenger boat, had a music-room, and, there being no rules in the Russian naval service applying to a music-room—such luxuries not existing on warships—we were able to do pretty much as we liked there.\"\n\n\"Did you have any music during your cruise?\"\n\n\"Why, yes. We had a little music occasionally. There were several phonographs on board, and one of the officers in particular played the piano very well. Sometimes the Russian officers would join in a song of an evening.\"\n\nAsked if there was at any time any excitement on board the cruiser, Mr. Ison said: \"The only time there was any real excitement on board was when the Samson came along. The water-tight doors were closed and the decks were cleared for action.\"\n\nRegarding the coal supply of the Dnieper, Mr. Ison said that the holds were full, and almost every alternate day the hatches were opened and the crew were engaged between 6 and 10 o'clock a.m. in passing coal along to the bunkers. \"I should say she had nearly 2,000 tons of coal aboard, and that this quantity, steaming at full speed, would last her for about 15 or 16 days. The officers and men had unbounded confidence in their Admiral, and regarded their coming out to these waters as a great feat, accomplished without a single mishap. I gathered that they certainly felt sure that the Japanese were avoiding them, and that they would get through to Vladivostock unmolested.\"\n\n\"For what reason did they seize the Oldhamia, so far as you learned?\"\n\n\"They believed that we had munitions of war underneath our cargo of case oil.\"\n\n\"But they gave no definite reason for taking the captain, chief engineer, steward, and cook with them.\" \"I believe that they were put on board a hospital ship, which would probably account for their safe arrival at Sasebo.\"\n\n\"Did they give you any time to gather your effects together before leaving?\"\n\n\"They gave us time to collect a few of our things; just time enough to grab anything that was handy. The time between when they ordered us to leave the ship and our boarding of the Dneiper would be about half-an-hour.\"\n\nPage 606", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-328 - Governor Nathan - 1905 [1-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 396535, "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": "CO129-328 - Governor Nathan - 1905 [1-6]", "page_number": 615, "title": "CO129-328 - Governor Nathan - 1905 [1-6]", "content_text": "work then and had no time to collect our possessions. At the present time we are practically destitute. We have a few effects--but no money. I do not know who are the agents of the Oldhamia in Hong Kong, but our cargo was consigned to the Standard Oil Company in Japan. \"Did they refer in any way to their enemy?\"\n\nThey very grudgingly gave the Japanese credit for being humane, but otherwise they seemed to think that they were beneath their notice. We, of course, avoided saying anything about the war that would give annoyance.\n\nAt the same time, when one of the officers hinted that we would go on with the Fleet to Vladivostock, I said we would never get there. When asked why, I said the Japanese would sink us first, upon which they laughed outright and appeared to regard my remark as a joke.\n\nThey seemed to regard their presence in Far Eastern waters more in the light of a picnic than as the grim business of war. There was no attempt made to drill the men--no practice of any sort. Only once was there any ammunition brought up from below, and that was when the Samson appeared. The prize crew that came on board the Oldhamia, when ordered by their officers to load their revolvers, handled them as if they had never seen such weapons before. In some cases the Russian officers loaded the weapons for their men and handed them back.\n\n2\n\nDid their appearance and actions strike you as seamanlike? \"They were more like seamen than yokels, but it was the uniform alone in most cases that made them look like seamen. For the simple work of carrying coal and washing decks they were all right. There was no occasion for them to go aloft and they never went. But they had certainly some good shoemakers and tailors. I saw them at their trades. They did nothing for us, though. As for physique the Russians were very fine able-looking men but as silly as geese where work was concerned and, I should think, as far as fighting goes. I do not think that in any other nation you would find a finer, better-set-up body of men. None of them were small but many could be called big men.\"\n\nWere they in any way discouraged?\n\nThey were all in fine spirits. It seemed to me that they anticipated no danger. We had a table to ourselves in the ward room. They had their red and white wines at meals but there was no intemperance, and we were allowed a kind of spirit--probably vodka or some kind of whisky. It was all right for those who cared for it.\"\n\nMr. Ison concluded the interview by stating that the business had thrown him out of a ship. He had been in command with the same firm as owned the Oldhamia but went into business ashore two years ago. He determined to return to sea and joined the Oldhamia as chief officer on 19th April last. It had, therefore, been an unlucky adventure for him.\n\nThe following are the names and designations of the crew of the Oldhamia:\n\n| Designation | Name | Place |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Captain | Alexander Stewart | West Hartlepool |\n| 1st Officer | James Ison | |\n| 2nd Officer | Robert Edmundson | Croyden |\n| 3rd Officer | John Scott | West Hartlepool |\n| Engineers' Steward | | |\n| 1st | John Stewart | Shields Pari |\n| 2nd | Albert Shipley | |\n| 3rd | William Pearce | West Hartlepool |\n| 4th | Allan Urquhart | |\n| Apprentices | Charles Turner, Victor Thorpe | North England |\n| Carpenter | James McCubbin | |\n| Donkeyman | Alexander Ballantyne | Liverpool |\n| Engineers' Steward | | Belfast |\n| A.

First the Archbishop of Canterbury, him, presents his Majesty to the people, that divers great Officers of State going along with they may recognise him, and acclaim him by their voices as their King. \n\nHongkong, the proud boast of whose citizens is that it yields to none in loyalty to the Throne, demonstrated this sentiment yesterday in a manner which was as thorough as it was striking. The uncertainty of the weather conditions interfered somewhat with the programme of celebrations and with the scheme of decorations and illuminations, but nevertheless the community entered into the spirit of the historic occasion and gave to the national event that veneration and respect which was due from all patriotic subjects of a great Empire. The day was a public holiday, so that practically everyone had an opportunity of viewing the various celebrations and enjoying the scenes of animation in the decorated streets. The children, as was befitting, were given reason for remembering the historic occasion. Not only were the scholars given medals and instructed in the Governor's address as to the meaning of the Coronation, but they had opportunities of viewing brilliant scenes on land and on sea the like of which will probably not be witnessed for some time. From morning till night the streets were thronged, and the volume of traffic was perhaps greater than has been experienced in Hongkong on any previous occasion. In these circumstances it is pleasant to relate that no mishap occurred to mar the proceedings of the day.\n\n## THE SERVICE AT ST. JOHN'S CATHEDRAL\n\nThe religious aspect of the Coronation was emphasised by the impressive service at St. John's Cathedral. The service was attended by a congregation which was thoroughly representative of the Colony, and as the accommodation was limited admission was by ticket. Shortly after ten o'clock ticket-holders began to take their places, and before eleven o'clock practically every seat was occupied. H.E. the Governor, accompanied by Captain Mitchell-Taylor, A.D.C., and Captain Simson, private secretary, was present, as were H.E. Major General Anderson, C.B., Commodore Eyres, R.N., and others in the nave including the members of the Executive and Legislative Councils, the Consuls and other representatives of Foreign Powers, Naval and Military Officers, members of the Coronation Celebrations Committee, and a number of Chinese residents. Upwards of seventy Freemasons in regalia were also present.\n\nDuring the assembling of the congregation Mr. Denham Faller played the following selections on the organ: Elgar's Imperial March, Wesley's Choral Song and Fugue, and Air and Variation by Smart. There was a large body of surpliced clergy, including some Chinese ministers, and as they proceeded up the aisle \"O God our help in ages past\" was sung as a processional hymn. The procession was constituted as follows: Rev. F.T. Lake, boys of the choir, gentlemen of the choir, Rev. C.H. Hickling, Rev. W.W. Rodgers, Rev. C.B. Shanu, Rev. A.B. Thornhill, Rev. C.E. Thompson, Rev. W.H. Hewett, Rev. C.N. McKenzie, Rev. S.W. Payne, Rev. W.H. Foster-Pegg, Rev. H.O. Spink, Rev. Fong Yut San, Rev. A.D. Stewart, Rev. F.T. Johnson, his Lordship the Bishop.\n\nII. Then after prayer to God, such as we ourselves have now made, the King takes a solemn Oath to govern his people according to the Laws and Customs of the Realm; to cause Law and Justice, in Mercy, to be executed in all his judgments, and to protect the Church.\n\nIII. Thereupon after solemn prayer for the presence and blessing of God the Holy Ghost, the King is anointed with holy Oil upon his head, his breast, and his hands, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; forasmuch as Kings, Priests, and Prophets of old were after this manner made and consecrated to teach and govern the people of Israel; and the Archbishop says over him this blessing: \n\n\"Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who by his Father was anointed with the Oil of gladness above his fellows, by his holy Anointing pour down upon your Head and Heart the blessing of the Holy Ghost, and prosper the works of your Hands: that by the assistance of his Holy Spirit you may worthily rule the people committed to your charge in wealth, peace, and heavenly grace; and after a long and glorious course of ruling this temporal kingdom wisely, justly, and religiously, you may at last be made to partake of an eternal kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord.\"\n\n\"As you are this day solemnly invested in the government of this earthly kingdom, so may you be sealed with that Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of an heavenly inheritance, and reign with him who is the blessed and only Potentate, to whom be glory for ever and ever- Amen.\"\n\nIV. Then is His Majesty invested with the Ensigns of his kingly state. First he is clothed with royal vestments; and then he receives the Sword of Justice, brought from the Altar of God, and delivered to him by the hands of the Bishops; and when he is girded therewith, the Archbishop says: \n\nWith this Sword do justice, stop the growth of iniquity, protect the holy Church of God, help the weak, comfort the feeble, defend widows and orphans, restore things that are gone to decay, maintain what is restored, punish and reform what is amiss, and confirm what is in good order: so that by doing these things you may be glorious in righteousness, peace and charity, and abound in the love of God, and reign with Jesus Christ in this life, that you may reign with him in the life which is to come.\n\nNext he receives the Sceptre with the Cross, the ensign of kingly power and justice; and the Sceptre with the Dove, the rod of equity and mercy, with this injunction: \n\nBe so merciful that you be not too remiss; so execute justice that you forget not mercy. Punish the wicked, protect and cherish the just, and lead your people in the way wherein they should go.\n\nAnd then the Crown is brought from the Altar after prayer to God; and the Archbishop reverently puts it upon the King's head. And the people at the sight thereof with loud and repeated shouts cry, GOD SAVE THE KING. And after that, the Archbishop goes on and says: \n\n\"God crown you with a crown of glory and righteousness, that by the ministry of this our benediction, having a right faith and manifold fruit of good works, you may obtain the crown of an everlasting kingdom by the gift of Him whose kingdom endureth for ever. Amen.\" Last of all, the Holy Bible is brought from off the Altar, and delivered to the King by the Archbishop and Bishops with the words: \n\n\"Our gracious King: we present you with this Book, the most valuable thing that this world affords. Here is wisdom; this is the royal Law, these are the lively Oracles of God.\"\n\nV. The King having been thus anointed and crowned, and having received all the ensigns of royalty, the Archbishop solemnly blesses him, and with him all his people; and every part of the Benediction is followed with a loud and hearty Amen.\n\nVI. And after this the King goes to his Throne, and is placed therein, with the prayer that God will establish his Throne in righteousness, that it may stand fast for evermore; and the Bishops, the Princes, and the other Peers do their homage to his Majesty.\n\nVII. Then follows the solemn anointing and crowning of her Majesty the Queen; and after that, the King and Queen draw near to God's Holy Table to receive the Holy Communion, putting off their crowns before the Altar. The Te Deum is sung, as a hymn of praise to Almighty God, who hath shewn mercy to our Sovereign and his people, in thus setting him on the Throne of his ancestors.\n\nAt the end of this great and solemn service, Pray we, therefore, brethren, both now and in the days to come, that the same Lord God Almighty will by the continual assistance of his heavenly grace enable him to fulfil the high responsibility of his sacred trust.\n\nThe following special Prayer for the King and Queen was said:— \n\nO Lord our God, who upholdest and governest all things by the word of thy power: Receive our humble prayers for our Sovereign Lord King George; and as thou dost this day set a crown of pure gold upon his head, so let thy wisdom be his guide and thy strength be his arm; let truth and justice, holiness and ... in all virtue, and so faithfully serve our Lord Jesus Christ in this life, that you may reign with him in the life which is to come.\n\nThen the King, rising from the chair of his Coronation, ungirds his Sword, and going to the Altar, offers it there to God from Whom he has received it.\n\nAfter the chanting of Psalm 122 the proper lesson (I. S. Peter i 13-18) was read by the Rev. C.H. Hickling, Pastor of the Union Church. Then the Litany was intoned by the Rev. A.B. Thornhill and the choir. The Anthem was taken from Psalm xxvi. 3, 6 and 7. It was excellently rendered by the choir, the treble solo being taken by Master Martin.\n\nThen he receives the Ring, the ensign of the kingly dignity and of defence of the Catholic Faith; and the Archbishop says: \n\n\"Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness: Give ear, we beseech thee, to our prayers, and multiply thy blessings upon thy servant Mary, consecrated in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, this day to be our Queen; defend her evermore from all dangers, ghostly and bodily, make her a great example of Virtue and piety, and a blessing to this kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, O Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, world without end. Amen.\"\n\nThe Te Deum was sung, and the service ended by the congregation all joining in the singing of the National Anthem.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 432230, "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": "CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7]", "page_number": 438, "title": "CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7]", "content_text": "## ROMAN CATHOLIC SERVICE\n\nSimultaneously with the service at St. John's Cathedral, a special service took place at the Roman Catholic Cathedral. The spacious building was filled with a devout congregation, and the proceedings were of a solemnity and impressiveness that affected all worshippers and helped them to realise the importance of the great event. Low Pontificial Mass was celebrated by his Lordship Bishop Pozzoui, assisted by Monsignor P. de Maria, Rev. L. Robert, and Rev. Father Noval, while the Rev. G. M. Spada and the Rev. A.

The order of service was as follows:\n\n* Coronation March, Rich Eilenberg, by members of the Sociedade Philharmonica, conducted by Prof. F. Gonzales.\n* Mass of the Day with collect for the Elected King.\n* During the Mass the following music was rendered:\n\t+ Veni Creator, German Core, by the Cathedral choir and friends.\n\t+ Andante Religioso, Francis Thome, by the Sociedade Philharmonica.\n\t+ Sanctus, Perosi, by the Cathedral choir.\n\t+ Largo e Mesto, Beethoven, by the Sociedade Philharmonica.\n* During the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, the following hymns were sung:\n\t+ O Salutaris, Webb, by the Cathedral choir.\n\t+ Te Deum, Gregorian, by the choir and clergy.\n\t+ Tantum Ergo, G. Mercanti, by the Cathedral choir.\n\t+ Laudate Dominum, by the choir and friends.\n* The service closed with the singing of \"God save the King,\" by the choir, clergy, and congregation, accompanied by the band of the Sociedade Philharmonica.\n\n## THE JEWISH SERVICE\n\nAt the special service held in the Ohel Leah Synagogue, the following prayer was offered after the sermon and the opening of the Ark:\n\nAlmighty God and everlasting King! From the place of Thy habitation Thou lookest upon all the indwellers of the earth. By Thee kings reign and princes rule. Thou establishest their throne, and in Thy hand is their glory and their might.\n\nPrayer for the King and the Royal Family,\n\nMay He who giveth salvation unto kings and dominion unto princes, Whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, Who delivered His servant David from the hurtful sword, Who maketh a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters - may He bless, protect and exalt our Sovereign Lord, King George, Our Gracious Queen Mary, Alexandra, the Queen Mother, Edward, Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family.\n\nMay the Supreme King of Kings in His mercy preserve the King, guard him, and deliver him from all trouble, sorrow and hurt. May He make his enemies fall before him, and in whatsoever he undertaketh may he prosper. May the Supreme King of Kings in His mercy put a spirit of wisdom and understanding into his heart and into the hearts of all his counsellors, that they may uphold the peace of the realm, advance the welfare of the nation, and deal kindly and truly with all Israel. In his days and in ours may Judah be saved and Israel dwell securely; and may the Redeemer come unto Zion. O that this may be His will, and let us say, Amen.\n\nThe Ark was then closed.\n\n## THE PARSEE SERVICE\n\nAlmost all the members of the Parsee Community were present at their Club premises at the corner of Elgin and Shelley Streets at 4 p.m. in the afternoon for a religious service. A special prayer was recited by the Priest, the whole congregation remaining standing. The following is the translation of the prayer from Gujarati:\n\n1. Blessed be the name of Holy Abura-Mazda! Almighty Abur-Mazda, Holy, Heavenly, Pure; give ear, we beseech Thee, to the prayers of Thy Mazdayaçnian servants, and satisfy us with Thy Mercy.\n2. Receive our heartfelt thanks, O Almighty God, that Thou art pleased this day to set a peerless crown upon the head of our Gracious Sovereign, King Emperor George.\n3. Vouchsafe to him, Merciful Creator, Thy majesty. Thou hast set Thy servant, George, upon the throne of his fathers. Thou knowest his heart, that it has ever been his desire and happiness to seek the welfare of his people and to execute Thy laws in the land.\n\nBehold, the day hath come that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it, the day on which he has been anointed King, when the crown of sovereignty has been placed upon his head, the day when he lifted up his hand to heaven and took the oath, that he would rule over his people according to the Statutes of the realm, and cause Law and Justice in Mercy to be executed.\n\nTherefore we have come into Thy house, and worship toward Thy holy temple. Hearken unto the voice of our cry, our King and our God, for unto Thee do we pray. May it please Thee to bless our Sovereign Lord the King: O God, save the King! May the King live! May the King live for ever! May Thine arm strengthen him to bear the heavy yoke of governance.\n\nEven as Thou hast set a diadem of fine gold upon his head, so crown him with honour and glory, with mercy and loving-kindness. Anoint him with the oil of gladness. Vouchsafe unto him the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of knowledge and fear of Thee, so that all the nations that dwell beneath his sceptre, the sceptre of righteousness, may abide in peace and tranquillity.\n\nPour out the riches of Thy heavenly goodness upon Queen Mary, who standeth at the right hand of the King in gracious majesty. Verily on her tongue is the law of kindness. Her eyes are upon the poor and upon those that are bruised in spirit. Her heart goeth out to those that are stretched upon the bed of languishing. Give her the desire of her heart, and do not withhold the request of her lips. Bless the Queen Mother, Heir Apparent, and all the members of the Royal House.\n\nWithdraw not, we beseech Thee, Thy loving-kindness from this realm. Shield the indwellers thereof. Remove from them pestilence, sword, famine and sorrow. Spread the days when peace will flourish throughout the world, when the earth will be full of the knowledge of Thee, as the waters cover the sea.\n\nGrant unto our Sovereign Lord the King, the spirits of heavenly piety, as also Thy spirit of wisdom for his guide and Thy arm for his strength, so that in his godliness, and in his unfained spirit of wisdom and strength, Justice, Truth, Peace and Love may flourish in his days to promote the well-being, solidarity and unity of his various subjects of all classes and creeds.\n\n4. We pray unto Thee, O Merciful Mazda, to bestow upon our illustrious Sovereign splendour and glory, health, vigour and victoriousness of body, wealth which may bring all prosperity, a long line of descendants gifted with intelligence, a long life and the best, brilliant and glorious life of the Pious.\n\n5. We beseech Thee, O Bountiful Giver of all Good, to be favourable to our ruler, and to bestow of Thy bounty upon his head the full blessings of the annihilation of famine and pestilence wherever prevailing in his wide dominions, and to endow, in his vast Empire, the happiness and cheer of fruitful peace and gladsome plenty.\n\n6. We supplicate Thee, O Merciful Creator, to crown the fulness of his days with the fulness of Thy divine blessings, grace and love, and receive our humble prayers, O Almighty God, that those and all Thy other gifts may be long continued, and crown him with immortality in the life to come.\n\n7. Listen, we pray Thee, to this earnest invocation of Thy servants of the Zoroastrian faith in Hongkong, and grant us our wishes.\n\n8. Merciful and Gracious Abura-Mazda, we again beseech Thee to give ear to our prayers and to extend Thy divine blessings, favour and love, out of Thy bounteous grace, upon our Gracious Queen Mary.\n\n[June 22, 1911]\n\n## THE PUBLIC MEETING\n\nThe public meeting to endorse the telegraphic addresses to be sent to Their Majesties took place in the City Hall shortly after noon. As was to be expected, the building was taxed to its utmost, all sections of the community being represented in the large gathering. Among those present were the American Delegates from Manila, who were accompanied by Captain Agg, K.O.Y.L.I. Sir Francis Piggott, Chairman of the Coronation Committee, on the entrance of His Excellency, proposed that the Governor preside over the meeting.\n\nHis Excellency then said: - Ladies and gentlemen, - To-day in both hemispheres, in every part of the world, and in every sea where the British flag flies, the subjects of our King are uniting to do homage and to wish him prosperity in his Coronation. They testify their loyalty and reverently and earnestly express their hopes that his reign may be long, prosperous and peaceful. To-day the Crown of his ancestors - that Crown which is the symbol of unity of the Empire - will be placed upon his head in the historic hall where a long line of British kings have been crowned, with all the pomp and circumstance of the old-time ritual. We in Hongkong do not come second to any British community in our loyalty to our King and the Throne. (Applause) We are celebrating to-day this historic event with rejoicing and with prayer. We desire to transmit to His Majesty our expressions, our heart-felt good wishes and congratulations, and our desires for his long and prosperous reign. I have, therefore, asked you to meet here in the City Hall to-day that you may hear the telegrams and addresses, and may approve them which it is proposed to send.\n\nThe Executive and Legislative Councils, in joint session with the Judges, send the following telegram:\n\nThe Executive and Legislative Councils of Hongkong, and the Judges of Hongkong, on behalf of Your Majesty's subjects in the Colony, beg most humbly to offer their loyal and respectful congratulations to You on the Occasion of the Coronation of Your Majesty as King and Emperor, and of Her Majesty Queen Mary. We pray that the event which is celebrated to-day may inaugurate a long and glorious reign for Your Majesties and an era of happiness, prosperity and honourable peace for Your Majesty's Kingdom and Empire.\n\nThe Coronation Committee, on behalf of the community, and on behalf of every race and nationality, has submitted the following telegram:\n\nHis Majesty's subjects in Hongkong present their loyal homage to the King, and the people of other nationalities within the borders of the Colony join with them in offering respectful congratulations to Their Majesties and in wishing them a long and happy reign.\n\nThe Chinese community propose to lay before the King at his Coronation at Delhi, which I hope to attend, a beautifully embroidered scroll expressing their loyalty and good wishes. The translation will be read to you presently by Mr. Chan Kai Ming.\n\nI may add that I received this morning by mail intimation from the Secretary of State that it was the intention of the King to present to this Colony portraits of himself and the Queen. (Applause)\n\nHis Excellency then asked the gathering to express their approval by holding up their hands. There was a full show of hands.\n\nMr. Ng Hon Tsz then read the Chinese address in the vernacular, and Mr. Chan Kai Ming read the translation in English as follows:\n\nTO HIS MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY GEORGE THE FIFTH\n\nBy the Grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India, Supreme Lord in and over the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\n\nAll the Chinese subjects and Chinese residents in Hongkong with uplifted hands and bowed heads dutifully present this address.\n\nBoth speakers were warmly applauded. Hon. Dr. Ho Kai asked His Excellency to present the embroidered copy of the address bound in red morocco to H. M. The King.\n\nOn the call of His Excellency three hearty cheers were given for the King, and the meeting dispersed.\n\n## ADDRESS FROM THE FREEMASONS\n\nThe Masonic bodies in Hongkong are sending the following address:\n\nTo HIS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY KING GEORGE V - By the Grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India.\n\nThe Order of Freemasonry was cradled in that divine Faith whereof Your Majesty is the Defender, and is founded on the purest principles of piety and virtue. It teaches those heavenly principles of our duty to God, our duty to our neighbour, and our duty to ourselves, and reminds us of the constant need in our daily life of the practice of those truly kingly attributes Benevolence and Charity.\n\nThe Freemasons of this remote District rejoice greatly therefore that Your Majesty has been graciously pleased to become the Grand Patron of our Charities, and that Her Majesty the Queen has consented to be their Grand Patroness.\n\nLoyalty, Fidelity and Obedience have ever been among the watchwords of our Orders, and Your Majesty has no more devoted subjects than those who range under our banners.\n\nMay the Great Architect of the Universe grant, in His infinite wisdom, that Your Majesty's life may exceed the span of man's allotted term and that Your reign may be blessed with every Happiness for Your Majesty, for our beloved Queen Mary and for the members of Your Royal Family, and with Peace, Joy and Prosperity for Your Majesty's loyal subjects in all lands.\n\n## THE ROYAL SALUTE\n\nAt noon the warships in the harbour, both British and foreign, and the shore batteries, joined in a royal salute.\n\n## THE CORONATION PARADE\n\nOwing to the unsettled state of the weather, the review which was fixed to take place at 8 a.m. yesterday was postponed until the afternoon. The postponement proved propitious, for the rain held off and the parade was participated in and watched under pleasant weather conditions. A cloudy sky obscured the sun's rays and minimised the heat. An exceptionally large crowd surrounded the race course, and the quantity of bunting displayed gave the Valley the holiday appearance which it wears during race week. The troops were massed in the enclosure, and as they went through their preliminary evolutions presented an imposing appearance.\n\nAt four o'clock His Excellency the Governor arrived, and a royal salute was fired by the guns of two batteries, one stationed at the north, and one at the south end of the enclosure. His Excellency, accompanied by Major-General Anderson, Colonel St. John, Major Tulloch, Captain Grotton, Commodore Eyres, Captain Taylor, Captain Simson and an Indian A.D.C., inspected the troops and then returned to the saluting base. Preparations were made for the march past, and when all was in readiness the order was given, and to the strains of \"Sons of the Sea\" and regimental airs the naval brigade and the different regiments marched past in column.\n\n| Unit | Strength |\n| --- | --- |\n| Royal Marines | 513 |\n| Royal Navy | 176 |\n| Royal Garrison Artillery | 407 |\n| H.K.S.B., B.G.A. | 209 |\n| Royal Engineers | 175 |\n| K.Y.L.I. | 422 |\n| 8th Rajputs | 708 |\n| 126th Baluchis | 713 |\n| Total | 3,468 |\n\nAfter the march past the European troops were formed into a hollow square around the saluting base, with the K.O.Y.L.I. band near the flagstaff. His Excellency read the messages of congratulation and loyalty which were forwarded to the King, and then the troops raised three hearty cheers to His Majesty which reverberated among the hills.\n\nAn impressive drum head service followed. To the music of the K.O.Y.L.I. band the troops and the spectators joined in the hymn, \"O God, our help in ages past.\" Lessons were read and prayers offered by naval and military chaplains, and the service closed with the singing of the first verse of the National Anthem, in which thousands of voices joined.\n\nThe Indian regiments then gave three lusty cheers for the King, after which the troops, four deep, marched through the city to barracks.\n\n## ENTERTAINING THE CHILDREN\n\nThe school children were entertained in their various schools yesterday morning. The address of H.E. the Governor, in which he appropriately referred to the lessons of the Coronation, was read, and the medals were distributed to the children, after which they were treated to refreshments, etc.\n\n## THE DECORATIONS\n\nThe decorations were on a most extensive scale. In the harbour practically every vessel was beflagged from stem to stern, and foreign merchantmen joined with British in making a display of bunting. The Monmouth, Astræa, Flora and Tamar had a profusion of bunting, and the visiting American and Japanese gunboats contributed to the colour scheme on the water.\n\nAshore the principal decorations were on the water front, in Queen's Road, and at the various barracks. In the city the centre of attraction was Statue Square. Here various coloured standards had been erected, and from these were suspended festoons of greenery, each standard also bearing a green circle of foliage. Bannerettes also fluttered in the breeze. The buildings facing the harbour were embellished with the national colours, Japanese lanterns, etc., while practically every office showed a flag. As usual the Chinese made a brave display, and the quaint arches erected in various parts of the city were very striking indeed.\n\n## ILLUMINATIONS\n\nThe buildings on the water front and in Queen's Road were covered with lanterns which showed up very effectively. York Buildings had a beautiful frontage of red lamps, and the buildings along the Praya had their illuminations which added to the general effect. On Kowloon side the illuminated arch was very conspicuous, but the most picturesque sight was presented by the warships which were outlined with lights, the American ship _Ralston_ introducing a striking contrast with red lamps. The _Fatshan_ was hung with lamps, and smaller craft had their illuminations also. The grand scheme of illumination will not be seen until to-night.\n\nChinese fireworks were set off from the Parade Ground and in front of the Hongkong Club, and Japanese fireworks from the Public Gardens. The pyrotechnic display appealed to all sections of the community and was greatly appreciated.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-378 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1911 [6-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 460389, "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": "CO129-431 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [1-2]", "page_number": 522, "title": "CO129-431 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [1-2]", "content_text": "92\n\nSheriff, A.

Unfortunately this equipment will be of no practical use to us.\n\n22.\n\nBy this time the situation on Hongkong Island was well in hand except for persistent petty looting which kept the patrols busy. The Japanese executioner was discovered in disguise by the Chinese and was given a short shrift.\n\n23.

My staff did not repair the short-wave broadcasting transmitter in Kowloon. I visited it with Major Asano and estimated two months for repairs. We could have had it working in a week or two. The Japanese had it partly working, on much reduced power, in precisely two months.\n\n4. Later I was examined by Captain Tanaka in charge of Japanese radio telegraphs (not broadcasting). He required transmitters at D'Aguilar to be repaired. I spent some time examining the plant and making out reports on what was missing. Some of the short-wave transmitters I found were only little damaged. I was able to render them more effectively damaged and more difficult to repair despite the fact that I was under the surveillance of Japanese officers. After some time I was confronted with a squad of Japanese technical assistants and ordered to have a certain transmitter working within a few days. I demurred and in an interview with Captain Tanaka I succeeded in getting myself laid off from this work. I did nothing further for the Japanese, and I ascertained later that they were never able to get a single one of our transmitters at Cape D'Aguilar to function. In the end they brought down two of their own from Shanghai.\n\n5. During this period I was kept interned, with some restricted liberty of movement, in the Gloucester Building, with the Postmaster General and six of my staff. The Hon. F.C. Gimson, Colonial Secretary; Mr. (now Sir Grenville) Alabaster, Attorney General; Mr. R.A.C. North, Secretary for Chinese Affairs, and four of my staff were kept in the nearby Prince's Building. Those from Prince's Building were sent into the internment camp at Stanley some time in March and the remainder of us on 14th April, 1942.\n\n6. A small amount of money was given to us by Major Asano when the Kennedy Road transmitter was moved, but beyond this and one bag of rice, we received neither money nor food from the Japanese during the three and a half months we were kept in the Gloucester Building. We considered it our duty, however, to keep ourselves out of the Camp for as long as possible in order to do what we could to obstruct the Japanese war effort and to assist our own. Our funds and food were on the point of exhaustion in mid-April when the Japanese decided to move us into the concentration camp at Stanley.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour obedient servant,\n\nR.

As however Admiral Fraser was still here and was leaving for the Colony next day, on your instructions I obtained a lift from the Commander-in-Chief. We landed at Kaitak airfield in the early afternoon of September 26th, and proceeded forthwith to H.M.S. Duke of York. It was refreshing to see Japanese prisoners of war hard at work on the airfield unloading drums of petrol from a lighter under robust Commando guards.\n\n2. The Commander-in-Chief was visited at various times after my arrival by Admirals Harcourt (Commander-in-Chief Hong Kong), Daniel (Commander-in-Chief of the Task Group in Hong Kong) and Fisher (Commander-in-Chief of the Fleet Train and now Flag Officer Western Areas, which is a tactful euphemism for the China coast), Air Commodore Brook, Air Officer Commanding Hong Kong, and Mr. Keswick. Admiral Fraser gave accounts of his visit to Chungking and thereafter made a signal to Your Excellency on the question of British aid in sweeping mines in South China ports. Admiral Fraser said that he had been convinced that the Generalissimo was nervous about British ships proceeding to Chinese ports and felt that it would be a great mistake to allow them to do so under American orders. He insisted at the time that he had pointed out to the Generalissimo the obvious advantages of unified command in these matters.\n\n3. H.M.S. Duke of York was due to leave for Manila and Sydney the same evening, and I went ashore, just before her departure, with Admiral Harcourt and Mr. Keswick. Admiral Harcourt very kindly put me up at Government House, which the Japanese authorities had put into excellent shape, although a legacy of certain rooms in the Japanese style may become of problematic value. I had seen from the aircraft that a good deal of damage had been done in Hong Kong and there are a number of sunken hulks all over the harbour. We actually landed at the Taikoo dockyard, which was very badly knocked about; the same applies to the Kowloon dockyard across the harbour, and proceeded through extensively damaged godowns and labour residential quarters to the less damaged business section of the town. There has been a lot of looting of the residential districts by the Chinese inhabitants, and all wooden fittings have been removed for firewood.\n\n4. The Secretary of State for War and his staff were staying with the Commander-in-Chief, and I had some conversation with Mr. Lawson, who made a cordial enquiry as to your well-being. I gave the Secretary of State some account of developments in Chungking, and he was particularly interested in the Kuomintang-Communist negotiations.\n\n5. I am recording matters discussed in separate notes attached to this minute; but some general observations may be of use. In general, I found that the Navy had laid an excellent foundation on reoccupation, and that the Civil Affairs people and other authorities have got to grips with their problems. Mr. Gimson and his team had made a gallant start in the period between the surrender and the arrival of Admiral Harcourt's task group. The Civil Affairs Department is shockingly understaffed, however, and cannot do more than meet problems from day to day, as they arise. At present, most executive decisions, except those of high policy, are taken by a Committee under the Chairmanship of Admiral Harcourt's Chief of Staff (Captain Clifford, R.N.), which has a daily meeting attended by the Chief Civil Affairs Officer, Ministry of War Transport Representative, and representatives of the various Service organisations in the Colony).\n\nI/...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-6 Reports on current situation- including weekly intelligence reports 18-9-1945 - 20-12-1945.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 } ]
