You will take immediate measures for the preparation of this force, and for the hiring of transports for their conveyance. Being thus early instructed as to the amount of tonnage required, you will be enabled, we conclude, to engage a portion of it on moderate terms at Bombay, and to bring such transports round to Madras, in time to convey the reinforcements from thence to Singapore, by the middle of April. It is our earnest desire that the whole force to be sent from India and this country for service in China, during 1842, should be col- lected at Singapore by the second week in April; and we rely upon every exer- tion being made on your part to effect this essential object. \n\n14. We are led to think that, after making ample provision for the packet- service, you will have disposable in 1842, for service in China, the following wooden steamers : \n\nQueen. Tenasserim. \n\nSemiramis. \n\nEnterprize. Sesostris. \n\nMadagascar. Auckland. \n\nProserpine. \n\nCruizer \n\nMILITARY OPERATIONS IN CHINA. \n\nHerald Calliope Nimrod \n\nCaptain Nias. \n\nCaptain Herbert. \n\nCommander Glasse. \n\nLarne \n\nHyacinth \n\nFavorite \n\nChilders \n\nCommander Halsted. \n\nColumbine \n\nPylades \n\nModeste \n\nPelican \n\nCommander C. G. Napier. \n\nClio, or Pearl Algerine Cameleon \n\nOrdered from Rio to China. \n\nLieutenant Mason. \n\nLieutenant Hunter. \n\nSulphur Starling \n\nAnd the iron steamers: \n\nNemesis. \n\nPhlegethon. \n\nWe trust that you will take measures for having the whole of this force either in the Canton river or at Singapore, by the period at which we have directed the military force to be assembled there. \n\n15. We shall, on our part, take measures for despatching from this country, in December, direct for Singapore, the steamer \"Memnon,\" of 1,100 tons and 400 horse power, and every exertion will be made to despatch, at an carlier period than February (in which month she is now expected to be ready), the steamer \" Acbar,\" of 1,100 tons, and 350 horse power. This steamer will like- wise be sent direct to Singapore. The iron steamer \"Pluto,\" of 100 horse power, is now ready at Portsmouth, and will be at your disposal for service in will have for the ensuing cam- China in 1842. We expect, therefore, that you paign eight (and, including the “ Acbar,\" nine) wooden steamers, and four iron \n\nsteamers. \n\n16. As the service upon which the force will be in all probability employed will bring the ships into rivers where attempts may be made to burn them, you will provide every steamer, ship-of-war and transport, with such booms as she can conveniently carry. Each boom should have at each end a stout chain and hooks, that the several booms may be firmly joined together. Each vessel should have six light kedge or stream anchors, for the purpose of holding the booms; and for each anchor should be supplied 10 or 12 fathoms of light, but suffi- ciently stout, chain. The booms will probably be most conveniently carried by each vessel under her chains. No vessel, however small, should have a less length of booms than 60 feet. Thus each vessel will be able in a river to protect herself, and the booms of several vessels joined together will form a per- fect protection for them all. You will take care that each vessel has several spare boats. If we should find, upon inquiry, that you have not, or could not easily or in good time, provide a sufficient number of such anchors as we have described, we shall send a number of them to Singapore; but you will depend, not upon us, but upon yourselves, for providing them. Spare booms and anchors, with longer chains attached to them, should be sent for the service of Her Majesty's ships, which will require them in deeper water. \n\n17. We have ascertained that the amount of Her Majesty's naval forces to be employed in the China Seas in 1842, will be at least equal to that employed this year, and that the vessels despatched from England to relieve those now in the China station, which should come home, will be at Canton or Singapore by the middle of April. In the event of a larger force of Her Majesty's ships being required in 1842 than is employed this year, the Admiral will be authorized to detain the ships which would otherwise come home; but we do not apprehend the occurrence of this emergency. We enclose a list we have received from the Admiralty of the ships on the China station this year, and of such as will sail from hence this year in time for the commencement of the campaign of 1842. \n\nCornwallis Blenheim \n\nEndymion \n\nCaptain O. Richards, Flag Ship. \n\nCaptain Sir H. Senhouse. \n\nCaptain Hon. F. Grey. \n\nCaptain H.

THE attention of the Government having been directed to the mode in which Lord Stanley to the official business connected with the war in China has hitherto been conducted, the President of it becomes my duty to inform your Lordship of the result of the deliberations of the Board of Her Majesty's servants, and to convey to you the signification of Her Majesty's 2 November 1841. \n\nControl, pleasure as to the course, in reference to this subject, which should be pursued for the future. \n\nThe late administration, at the commencement of the war, employed upon it a portion of Her Majesty's troops upon the Indian Establishment, a portion of military forces of the East India Company, and the naval forces stationed in the Indian seas, reinforced by the squadron at the Cape of Good Hope, to which were added some ships from England. \n\nThe Admiral, sent from the Cape of Good Hope, directed the naval and military operations, and, as first in the commission, the diplomatic negotiations also. \n\nThe Governor-general of India, having sent the troops from India, had naturally an influence, and exercised some authority, over their first operations. Stores were also furnished at the discretion of the Governor-general, the British Treasury engaging to make good the extraordinary expenses incurred on that account, and charged in the first instance upon Indian revenues. \n\nBut it appears further, that stores and provisions, and a small force of British artillery, have also been furnished from England, for none of which does it appear that official authority from the Secretary of State has been conveyed to the Boards of Admiralty and Ordnance. \n\nany \n\nAt a subsequent period, the power of negotiation has been transferred to a Plenipotentiary, acting under the instructions of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. \n\n596. \n\nC 2 \n\nHer", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-001 - Sir Hug Cough-s China Military Correspondences - 1841-1843.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 216882, "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": "CO129-002 - Sir Henry Pottinger - 1843", "page_number": 90, "title": "CO129-002 - Sir Henry Pottinger - 1843", "content_text": "Superintendent of the Trade of our Subjects trading to and from the Dominions of the Emperor of China, GREETING— \n\nGOVERNMENT EXTRAORDINARY. \n\nOATH. \n\n1, A B, do hereby swear that I will bear true and faithful allegiance to our Sovereign Lady WHEREAS, by certain Letters Patent under VieroRIA, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great the Great Seal of our United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, &c. &c., and that I will well Britain and Ireland, bearing even date herewith and truly, according to the best of my ability, skill, We have made provision for the Government of and understanding, and without fear, favour, ́or our Colony of Hong-Kong and of its Dependencies, affection, perform, do, and fulfil the duties and Now Know You, that we reposing especial trust and powers of a Justice of the Peace, over and and confidence in the prudence, courage, and towards all subjects of her said Majesty presently, loyalty of you the said Sin flexey PorTINGEL, or hereafter residing within, or resorting to, the of our especial grace, certain knowledge, and are Dominions of the Emperor of China---SO HELP anotion, have thought fit to constitute and appoint, ME GOD. and do hereby constitute and appoint you, the said SIR HENRY POPTINGER, to be the GOVERNOR and COMMANDER-IN-Cher in and over our said Colony of Hong-Kong and its dependencies, and of all day of Forts and Garrisons erected and established, or which shall be erected and established within the said Colony, for and during our pleasure -- \n\nAND WE DO hereby require and command you, the said Stu HENDY POFTINGER, to do and execute all things that shall belong to your said Command and the Trust we have reposed in you, according to the several powers and directions granted to, or appointed to, the Governor of ang sant Colony of Hong-Kong and its Dependencies, in and by the said recited Letters Patent bearing even date herewith, and the Instructions under our Signet and Sign Manual accompanying the same, or according to such further powers, instructions, and Authorities as shall froin tine to thine, or at any time hereafter be granted or appointed you, under our Signet and Sigh Manual, or by our order in our Privy Council, or by Us, through one of our principal Secretaries of State AND WE DO hereby require and command all Officers and Ministers, Civil and Military, and all other the inhabitants of our sald Colony of Hong-Kong and its Dependencies, to be obedient, aiding, arul assist- ing, to you the said Sin Haxey POTTINGER in the execution of this our Commission, and of the powers and authorities herein contained,-IN WITNESS whereof, we have caused these our Letters, to be made Patent. \n\nWITNESS Ourself, at Westminster, the fifth tay of April, in the sixth year of our Reign. \n\nBY THE QUEEN HERSELF. \n\nTrue Copy. \n\nEDMUNDS. \n\n!

E. SHELLEY, \n\nClerk of the Councils. \n\nJOHN FRANCIS DAVIS, Governor, &c. &c. \n\nHONGKONG.-Published by Authority. \n\nPrinted by Jous CarK. \n\nIn 230 H tong \n\nTo His Excellency the Governon \n\nof Hongkong and its Dependencies and the the Colony Honorable Members of the Legislative Coun- cil of Hongkong. HONORABLE SIRS-We respectfully beg to address you with reference to Ordinance No. \n\n17 of 1844 entitled \"An Ordinance for Esta- blishing a Registry of the Inhabitants of the \"Island of Hongkong and its Dependencies.\"-- passed the Legislative Council the 21st August last and published for the first time in the Friend of China of the 19th October to come into force the 1st November. \n\nTho it may not be strictly within our pro- vince to question the Policy of the publication of any ordinance, whether urgent or unimpor tant its principles and details, not taking place until within the short space of twelve days of the period of its coming into operation we cannot but express our regret that an Ordi- nance so materially affecting both public and private interests, which appears to have been passed so for back as the 21st August last, should not have been made known to us un- til within so short a period of our being called upon to acknowledge it as law-thus depriving as the opportunity of making that due \n\nrepresen tation of our opinions against such enactments as may appear to us to bear hard upon our in- terests: a privilege, which as being unrepre- sented in the Legislative Council, we think is our due considering the important interests we have at stake in the Colony. To these cir- cumstances we pray you to attribute the la- teness of our present address and not to any indifference to the subject at issue. \n\nWith these preliminary observations, we desire, therefore to represent to you Excellency and the respective Honorable Members of your Council the unfeigned, and extreme repugna- nce with which we have read the Ordinance in question and to enter our formal and de- clared Protest against the Principles that it involves. \n\nPrinciples-We do not hesitate to say as unjust as they are arbitrary and unconstitutional taxing British subjects unrepresented in the most iniquitous of forms, authorizing the most unheard of inquisitorial proceedings, without appeal or remedy, and placing the very power of residence to British subjects whose name may have hitherto been unsullied and unsus- pected in the hands of any one individual. \n\nFurther-We consider that the Law in question is opposed in its details to one of the great objects struggled for during the late was with the Chinese Empire, and against which special provision was made in the Treaty of Nankin-namely, the unchristan principle of bolding one men responsible for the acts of another. \n\npur- \n\nAgain-We would represent that the effect of this enactment if carried out will interfere with the labor and consequent prosperity of the Colony-inasumch, as many of us have entered in o contracts upon the faith of chases wale from your Government at enor- mous rentals, which must now either be broken or delayed from the demur that the contractor will make to introduce laborors for their fulfil- ment whiltst the despotism that is apparent in this act, will induce many respectable Chinese who have now sufficient difficulty in paying \n\nthe heavy house rent in this Colony entirely to abandon the place, and deter others from taking up their residence amongst us. And, Moreover-We give it as our unqualified opinion that the carrying out of the details of this Ordinance will be found impracticable, as well as inefficacious for the object sought to be in attained, that the principle that it in- volves is even more stringent than has ever yet been applied to a penal settlement and we confidently assert is repugnant to the feelings of every Honorable British subject. \n\nWith the above representation of our views of and ↑ Protest against this Ordinance we would pray your Excellency in Council either to modify its details so as to remove the intollerance of the principles that it gives law to, or to cause the operation of it to be sus- pended until reference can be made to the Home Co- vernment as we cannot suppose that such a measure can receive the sanction of Her most gracious Majesty. \n\nT.

I should wish to have a report upon the commissariat department, detailing their duties, the pay and allowances of the establishment, and general cost annually to the Government. It will be also desirable that I should be made acquainted with the nature and value of the public stores in charge of the commissariat, together with a description of the buildings in their possession, pointing out the amount of stores they are calculated to contain, and exhibiting at the same time what portion of the store-rooms, if any, are vacant. \n\n3rdly. You are aware of the contents of my despatch, No. 10, of 25th January last, relative to the strength of this garrison and its expenditure; and if you are able to afford me any further explanation upon this head, I shall be glad to profit by it. \n\n4thly. It is of the utmost importance that every possible reduction should be made compatible with the objects for which the public departments have been established; and if therefore it appears to you that any two or more establishments can with benefit to the service admit of being amalgamated, or that you are of opinion any may be dispensed with, shall feel thankful for your views thereon, accompanied by such remarks as may appear necessary from the head of the department likely to be affected by a change in its numbers, expenditure, or otherwise. \n\nLastly. Bearing in mind the very heavy expense incurred by the Crown in this colony in the departments generally, both civil, naval, and military, do you consider it feasible or advisable to abolish the establishment of the naval store-keeper by causing his duties to be shared by the commissariat and ordnance departments? Your known experience on these points must be productive of much advantage to the public service; and therefore I have been induced to request you to afford me the information so essential for carrying out the instructions of Earl Grey. \n\nI have, &c. \n\nSir, \n\n(Signed) \n\nEnclosure 4. \n\nS. G. BONHAM, \n\nGovernor. \n\nMajor-General Staveley to Governor Bonham. \n\nHong Kong, April 20, 1849. WITH reference to your Excellency's letter to me of the 3rd instant, and to the despatch of Earl Grey calling on you to institute a strict investigation into the expenditure of this colony, civil, naval, and military, I have the honour to transmit the enclosed reports from the respective officers of Ordnance, the Commanding Royal Engineer, the Ordnance Storekeeper, Barrack Department, and the Assistant-Commissary-General. \n\nThe return of ordnance stores is not yet prepared in consequence of the death of one of the clerks and the illness of another, but will be sent as soon as possible. \n\nThe value of ordnance stores can only be ascertained in England, as it varies according to the different contracts and other circumstances, which are not made known to the departments in the colonies. \n\nOn the third part of your letter, relative to the strength and expenditure of this garrison, I know nothing to add to my Military Secretary's letter dated 28th December, 1848, and my memorandum dated 27th January, 1849, but I enclose a return showing the number of officers and men short of our establishment; and when the great length of time is considered which must elapse before vacancies can be filled up which are occasioned by death, sick leave, removal, or promotion to other corps, I am still more impressed with the opinion that our small military establishment in this remote command can admit of no reduction. On the fourth point of your Excellency's inquiry, I am clearly of opinion that no two or more of the military establishments can be amalgamated more than they already are, nor any dispensed with; nor do I think it would be desirable to charge the commissariat or ordnance storekeepers' departments with the duties of naval storekeeper. \n\nThe Ordnance storekeeper declares distinctly that he could not undertake \n\nany part of the naval storekeeper's duty; and considering the daily changes which take place in the naval force here, I conceive that a considerable addition would be required to the commissariat to enable it to perform the duties of the victualling branch of the naval storekeeper's department, besides other inconveniences alluded to in the last paragraph of Assistant-Commissary-General Smith's report. \n\nSir, \n\nI have, &c.

At some stations, like, for instance, the Australian Colonies, all victualling stores are certainly supplied by the Commissariat for naval purposes; but the issues are confined to perhaps two or three small vessels in the course of a year, and conducted under the Commissariat regulations, which are drawn up with reference to military authority alone; while at this station there are now one line of battle-ship, one frigate, three war-steamers, four or five sloops of war, a store-ship, and one for hospital purposes, with a naval Commander-in-chief, who, together with the Lords of the Admiralty, might not in transactions of such magnitude and importance as must thus arise, like to depend altogether upon any department not under their own immediate authority and control.\n\nI have, &c.

The quantity is not above four fifths of the import of 1850, and the far greater number of salt junks can only be accounted for by the fact that much of the salt has been imported by vessels carrying a mixed cargo. These have doubtless been included by the salt monopolist in his total of salt junks.\n\nIn the stone trade there is a slight increase; the monthly returns of the stone monopoly showing an export of 565 cargoes from the Colonial quarries.\n\nThe subjoined table will give some idea of the monthly progress of the native trade during the year under review. The larger portion of it by far is done by junks from small towns and villages along the coast of the Kwang Tung Province, east of the Canton River. These send areca nut, betel leaf,\n\nMarine Junks belonging to\nJanuary\nFebruary\nMarch\nApril\nMay\nJune\nJuly\nAugust\nSeptember\nOctober\nNovember\nDecember\nTotal\n\nTien-tsin\n\n7\n\nPuh-kien Coast,\n\n98\n1\n\nAmoy\n\n1\n\nFormosa\n\n786\n\nKwang Tung\n88\n268\n268\n29\n\n47\n\nCanton\n\n100\n000\n10\n1\n\n40\n\nKwang Tung West\n\n80\n54\n\n41\n\nHainan\n28,400\n40\n104\n17\n\n1\n\ng\n\n&\n\n113\n91\n44\n\n4\n\n24,500\n23,800\n23,800\n21,200\n19,700\n\n1\n\n90\n41\n60\n41\n\n1,004\n\nMonthly total of Salt Junks\n75\n46\n70\n\n83\n47\n\n543\n\nMonthly total of Imported Salt\n21,700\n41\n72\n40\n\n280,300\n\nMonthly total of Stone Cargoes exported\n24,500\n40\n76\n47\n24,300\n10\n101\n46\n24,000\n\n70\n41\n19,900\n562\n\ncharcoal, cotton, cloth, crockery, and ready-made clothes, new and second-hand, drugs, dried fruit, dried meat, eggs, firewood, grass-cloth, hams, hardware, iron, lard, linseed, livestock, nankeen, oil, potato flour, pease, coarse paper, rice, sugar, saltfish, salt, skins, sugar canes, shoes, silk, soy, tobacco leaf, vegetables, fresh and salted, wine and wheat.\n\nThe junks from Canton and the coast west of it bring much the same cargoes. The latter more properly speaking, belong to the districts along the west bank of the river.\n\nThe Tien-tsin junks brought rugs, cotton cloths, cotton, skins, deers horns, deers sinews, lams, dried fruits, pears, cabbages, pease, beans, wine, and drugs.\n\nThose of the Fuhkien coast and Amoy, alum, camphor, coal, salt, and sulphur, cotton, cotton cloth, grass cloth, nankeen, sheep skins, shoes, bricks, tea, sugar candy, pease, beans, and potato flour.\n\nA single junk from Formosa, coal and sulphur.\n\nThose from Hai-nán, bark, wood, rattans, sandalwood, skins, drugs, soy, salt beef and mutton, salt, barley, beans, rice, oil, cocoa nuts, areca nuts, live stock, dried fish, sharks fins, rock-suckers, and biche-de-mer.\n\nThe Cochin Chinese carried cloths, cotton yarns, rice, and drugs.\n\nThe three Siamese junks, nutmegs, Brazil wood, peppers, skins, areca nuts, bark, drugs,\n\nglasses, rattans, sandalwood, dried fish, rice, and biche-de-mer.\n\nThe four Singaporeans, the same, as also cotton yarns and opium.\n\nThe single Penang vessel, drugs, nutmegs, pepper, and sandalwood.\n\nThe Tien-tsin junks are said to take away opium in no small quantities, and much is of course carried in the Kwang Tung coast junks, some of which, belonging to the nearer ports, make as many as six voyages in the year to and from Hong Kong.\n\nThere is nothing to account for the great decrease of the salt imported. The stone trade is considerably above what it has been for the last two years, and the marine junk trade, which is of the chief consequence, better than it has been for the last three years; as will be seen by the following table :--\n\nJunks and Cargoes\n1848\n1849\n1850\n1851\n\nMarine, average per month\n80\n72\n83\n\n83\n\nSalt Junks\n524\n334\n456\n543\n\nImported, piculs salt\n207,050\n335,350\n345,050\n280,300\n\nStone junks\n777\n407\n\n562\n\n(Signed)\n\nTHOMAS WADE,\n\nAssistant Chinese Secretary.\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nEnclosure 13.\n\nLIST of WHALERS arrived in HONG KONG. 1851-1852.\n\nSTATE OF HER MAJESTY'S COLONIAL POSSESSIONS.\n\nVessels Names\nMasters\nWhere owned,\nAgents or Owners,\nMonths out\nSperm Oil, in Barrels of 31 Gallons old Measure\nWhale Oil, in Barrels of 314 Gallons old Measure\nBone\nArrived\nSailed,\nWhere bound\nConsignees in Hong Kong\n\nGeorge and Mary\n\n4,400\n\nDec.\n\nCruise\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nMetacom\n\n74,174\n\n4 Jan. 19\n\nCruise\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nHibernia\n\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nCondor\n\nFeb. 12\n\nCruise\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nStephania\n\nCruise\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nRhone\n\nRawle, Drinker, & Co.\n\nHercules\n\n244\n2194**\n\nMount Wollaston\n\nNew Bedford\n\nMorca\n\nHobomok\n\nHarvest\n\nSt. George\n\nFrancis\n\nWilliam Hamilton\n\nGeneral Pike\n\nFriends\n\nBrougham\n\nWashington Roman\n\nIllinois\n\nCharles\n\nCarrol\n\nAdeline\n\nCossack\n\nMalherbe\n\nHavre\n\nTaber\n\nAllen\n\nMiller\n\nPhillips\n\nGraham\n\nBailey\n\nHammond\n\nWeaver\n\nSwift\n\nWing\n\nWoodbridge\nHathaway\n\nNew Bedford\n\nG.

In such a question\n\nthe extent of the Coinage\n\nto be executed from time to time is of chief importance,\n\nwith respect both to expense and to public necessity.\n\nThe rate at which\n\nthe Coinage would be executed", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-058 - Sir Bowring - 1856 [8-10].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 241297, "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": "CO129-062 - Sir Bowring - 1857 [1-3]", "page_number": 322, "title": "CO129-062 - Sir Bowring - 1857 [1-3]", "content_text": "20\n\nNo. 5 FEBRUARY 3, 1857.\n\nMERCHANT VESSELS.—Continued.\n\nThe Hongkong Register.\n\nSHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.\n\nARRIVED,\n\nMERCHANT VESSELS—Continued.\n\nDate of Tave\n\nCORSION BA\n\nSame\n\nArrival\n\n27 Frick\n\nHongkong Jan. 28\n\nSneon Draper\n\nAm. ship\n\n200\n\nAshly\n\n26 Luni\n\n81.

This union of HANGGON, PERANG, SINGAPORE, and in CHINA.\n\nqualities is fabled in their national legend of “Beauty and the Beast,\" yr, long before, in the Greek legend of Hermaphrodite. \"The two sexes are co-prezent in the English wind. I apply to Britannia, queen of seas and colonies, the words in which her latest novelist portrays his heroine: \"ake la as mild as she is game, and as game as she is mild.\" The English delight in the un- taganden which comhlars in one person the extremes of courage and tenderness. Nelson, dying at Trafalgar, sends his love to Lord Collingwood, and, like an inco- eent schoolboy that goes to bed, says, \"Kiss me Hardy,\" und turns to sleep. Lord Collingwood, his comrade, was of a nature the most affectionate and domestic. Admiral Rudney's figure approached to delicacy med effeminary, and he declared himself very sensible to fen, which he surmounted only by considerations of honour and public duty.

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

Having left the anchorage off the Pei-ho, on the 11th instant, to visit the American Commodore on the U. S. S. \"Powhatan,\" he informed us that he had heard from a low, but credible source (probably Christian Chinese, as he had 3 Missionaries on board), that there were 12 European prisoners at Tien-tsin, well treated.\n\nIf true, these must be wounded, picked up on the mud on the morning of the 26th.\n\nHe promised, should they go to Pekin, to endeavour to procure their release.\n\nHe told us that the mouth of the northern river, up which the Chinese intended us to go, was strongly fortified, not so much as at Tung-koo, but sufficiently so to render a passage impracticable. The nature of the forts, the river, soundings, bar, &c., all are similar to those at the \"Pei-ho.\"\n\nJuly 14th.-Arrived at the town called on the chart \"Che-foo.\"\n\nWere told the proper name is \"Yen-tai,\" in the township of \"Foo-shan\" and district of \"Peng-choo-foo.\"\n\nWe found here 3 or 4 English vessels, and a number of Siamese, also great numbers of junks.\n\nOur vessels had opium and piece-goods for sale. The others principally sugar; after selling which they fill up with corn, beans, &c., to take south.\n\n\"Yen-tai,\" in \"Miao-tao\" straits.\n\nThe town is small, but well built, close to the sea-side, without a wall, and comprised within a rectangle of about 600 yards by 400. The houses of masonry and sun-burnt blue brick, tiled or thatched.\n\nThe mode of tiling is as follows:\n\nThe rafters are strong, and about 10 feet apart, with purlins crossing them about every 5 or 6 feet; over them are laid fascines, composed each of about 6 or 8 reeds as thick as a man's finger. When laid, these are plastered over, and the tiles are laid over all.\n\nEvery house is provided with windows closed by shutters. Small coal was to be seen, but it is only used for smith's work, &c. In the winter, the people content themselves with heaping on clothes instead of having fires.\n\nGreat quantities of mules and donkeys are seen here. They are all shod.\n\nThere appears to be a considerable inland trade, as strings of these animals are continually passing in and out of the town.\n\nA few sheep may be bought here at about 1500 to 2000 cash each. Fowls 10 for a dollar, and eggs 100 for a dollar. Vegetables in great quantities; also apples, pears, peaches, apricots, pomegranates, &c.\n\nThe inhabitants say they have no bullocks beyond the number necessary for tilling the ground, and are of course unwilling to sell them.\n\nThe price of a mule is about 30,000 (30$.) They are very sleek and well-cared for.\n\nPAGE 354\n\n \nPAGE 16\n\n16\n\nPAGE 17\n\n17\n\nPAGE 18\n\n18\n\nPAGE 19\n\n19\n\n19\n\nPAGE 20\n\n10\n\n5\n\nJournal of Captain Fisher, &c.\n\n354", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-079 - Public Offices - 1860.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 261066, "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": "CO129-103 - Others - 1864", "page_number": 293, "title": "CO129-103 - Others - 1864", "content_text": "on the\n\nService of the Mint of Hong Kong\n\nThe Master\n\nHue\n\nHint of Hong Kong\n\n290\n\nJuly 26/\n\nTo William Owen\n\nfor farges for fittings\n\nfittings & Tools for the smith's shop double hearth complete as per contract\n\n \n Hc 36\n || Fan with Cast Iron Main Stand\n 30\n \n \n \n pipes & Valves\n Ve 24\n 6\n \n \n \n \n 20\n 9\n \n \n \n 3 Mrot Frow Anvils as per contract\n \n \n \n \n \n 1 Portable Forge\n de\n \n \n \n \n Hammers Volther Tools\n di\n \n \n \n \n 1 Hall Stove\n \n \n \n \n \n 1 extra smoke pipe\n q\n \n \n \n \n above:\n 16 2/3\n \n \n \n \n 23 pieces Frow for Hearth 4 Fan\n 24\n \n \n \n Tat\n leet grotes\n 50\n 2\n \n \n \n 1 strong case of 9 + 3 ft 2 × 3 ft 2 Grote 4: 2 containing | portable Forge with Beltours\n \n \n \n \n \n \"Doz Hammer\" Shaft 2 Coal hafiasshoves it profiers\n \n \n \n \n \n If Thochou pupes 1.

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 prices obtained for Congous were very irregular, owing to the hesitation of buyers; but, on the whole, they showed a decline on those given at the last sale. There is no alteration of importance in the value of Scented Teas, with the exception of the lower grades of Scented Orange Pekoes, which are rather lower, and all descriptions of Green Tea realised full prices. Some dust sold at the sale at 4d. to 6d., but it was offered \"with all faults.\" Some interest was taken in a few parcels of Japan Greens, of Rifleman, which has just arrived, and a few transactions in them have taken place, and the remainder of this cargo will no doubt be readily disposed of, as there is a good demand for all descriptions of Green Teas. The market price of Common Congou is 11d. per lb. Sound Broken Leaf can be bought at 6½d. per lb., and Tea Dust at about 5½d. per lb.\n\n#### SILK\nSince our last report the Silk market has experienced little or no change, no one buying beyond present requirements. The absence of demand, both at home and abroad, has been almost unprecedented, and prices are mostly nominal. The arrival this week of some of the early shipments of the new China crop has created a slight diversion, about 400 bales finding buyers; the opening price of Tsatlee being 26s. to 30s. In Canton Silk there has been some little business doing at rather easier rates, but the assortment is by no means generally desirable. Japan Silk is quite neglected. The total deliveries show a slight improvement, being 407 bales China, and 234 bales Japan. We can as yet discern no general improvement in the Silk market; the first unloading of new Chinas has naturally attracted some attention, and led to some little business, but there is no disposition on the part of the trade to buy more Silk than is absolutely necessary, and speculation seems out of the question. The opening price for classic No. 3 Tsatlee, 29s., is higher than some people expected, but appears moderate as compared with the quotations we have for some time past been accustomed to. There is a wide margin between chop Silk and medium and inferior descriptions, red Peacock having been sold at 26s. 6d., and good No. 4 at 26s. The estimate of export for the season has been reduced by recent telegrams from China to 40,000 bales, and if the reported failure of the second crop prove true, it is possible that even this figure may not be reached. In Japan Silk there is nothing doing, the best descriptions of Mibash are firmly held, but ordinary and inferior qualities are pressed for sale.\n\n| Description | Price |\n| --- | --- |\n| Taatlee, No. 1 & 2 | 26 0 to 30 0 |\n| No. 3 | 24 0 to 27 0 |\n| Tsenfa and Hainio, No. 1 & 2 | 20 0 to 23 0 |\n| No. 3 | 18 0 to 20 0 |\n| Tarsaam, No. 1 & 2 | 18 0 to 23 0 |\n| No. 3 | 14 0 to 20 0 |\n| Long Reel Skeins | ... |\n| Canton | ... |\n| Japan: Tsinchew & Sinchew, No. 1 & 2 | 17 0 to 23 0 |\n| Ida, Bricks, No. 1 & ... | 21 0 to 26 0 |\n| No. 3 | 27 0 to 30 0 |\n| Soudni, No. 1 & 2 | 21 0 to 26 0 |\n| No. 3 | 21 0 to 26 0 |\n\n#### COTTON\nThe market since our last report has remained extremely quiet, the business having been to some extent restricted by the firmness of holders. The only sale of China reported is of 30 bales fair quality at 6¼d. per lb.\n\n#### SUGAR\nThere has been a fair demand from the trade, but speculators having done but little in the article scarcely any alteration in prices has taken place, and quotations of most descriptions are about the same as on the 8th ult. Foreign refined continues to be offered at prices lower than to allow the English refiners to compete with profitable results, but as the prospects of supply from the cane-growing countries indicate an out-turn by no means equal to our requirements, it is not probable that any material fall in values will take place, unless, indeed, the production of beetroot sugar should be on a larger scale than hitherto. The deliveries in all the sugar-consuming countries are progressing most satisfactorily, showing a decided and steady increase. The last sale of the Dutch Trading Company took place on the 24th ult., and comprised 39,000 baskets, Java; grey and yellow realised the rates current at the May sale, but white sold at 1s. decline. The principal transactions on the spot have comprised 14,000 casks West India; 16,000 bags Mauritius; 8,000 bags Bengal; 14,000 bags Madras; 1,500 bags Penang; 33,000 bags Manila; 1,200 casks Cuba and Porto Rico, and 850 bags Guatemala. The imports of sugar into the United Kingdom during the seven months ending 31st July amounted to 341,758 tons, against 322,277; the deliveries for home consumption were 316,846 tons, against 272,761, and for export and coastwise 5,966 tons, against 18,006. The stock on the 1st August was 189,736 tons, against 221,253 at the same date in 1866.\n\n#### SPICES\nAt the quarterly sales on the 29th ultimo, comprising 1,260 tons, bales Ceylon, good and fine qualities were difficult to sell, and only partly realised at moderate prices; medium quality brought full rates, and the inferior sorts an advance of 1d. to 2d. on the April sales, viz., fourths 1s. 3d. to 1s. 9d., thirds 1s. 10d. to 2s. 1d., seconds 2s. to 2s. 6d., firsts 2s. 6d. to 2s. 9d., and superior 2s. 6d. to 3s. 1d. per lb. Mace continues scarce and firm; 2 cases Penang at auction sold at 1s. 10d. to 1s. 11d. per lb. for medium reddish. Nutmegs are 1¼d. to 2d. per lb. dearer, with increased inquiry; good business done privately; 14 cases Penang and 37 cases Batavia sold at auction at 1s. 2d. to 1s. 9d. per lb. for ordinary small to middling medium. Sapanwood: Steady, and tons Siam at auction realised £12 to £12 15s., also one-third of 35 tons Ceylon offered, realised £10 15s. per ton.\n\n#### COFFEE\nThere has been a good demand, and although supplies have been ample, the values of good current descriptions have been maintained. Fine sorts have shown an advancing tendency, but common and low qualities have sold irregularly and at lower rates. The shipments from Ceylon at the last returns were 714,000 cwts., against 723,000 last season, made up of 545,000 cwts. Plantation and 169,000 cwts. Native, against 510,000 and 213,000, and the quantity now afloat for this country is 18,000 tons, against 18,000 last year. The principal transactions on the spot, with the latest prices paid, have comprised 6,000 casks 2,000 bags Plantation Ceylon, low middling to good bold greens 74s. 6d. to 84s. 6d., low middling to good middling blue 74s. 6d. to 82s., bold 85s. 6d., peaberry 91s. to 95s.; 200 casks 2,500 bags Native Ceylon, fine ordinary bold 64s., good ordinary 59s., small 50s., peaberry 65s. 6d. to 65s.; and 8,000 packages East India - Singapore, ordinary 45s. to 48s., Java 68s. The total deliveries of coffee in Holland from the 1st of January to the 31st of July were 484,694 bags, against 358,307 bags in 1866, and the stock at the end of last month was 525,500 bags, against 580,100 bags.\n\n#### CURRANTS\nIn fair demand, and 2,000 packages good Pegu have realised 37s. to 38s. per cwt.\n\n#### CAMPHOR\nChina and Japan descriptions are firm, with fair private business at £6 15s. to £7 per cwt.\n\n#### GUM BENJAMIN\nThe market is steady, and of 56 cases Siam at auction half sold at £24 to £24 15s. per cwt. For fine third quality, and £11 to £11 15s. for dark. Of 42 cases Sumatra three-fourths sold at £8 2s. 6d. to £8 12s. 6d. per cwt. for false packed second quality.\n\n#### GALLS\nThe transactions have comprised 100 cases China at 6¼s., and a small portion Japan at 5¾s. per cwt.\n\n#### MANILA HEMP\nThe market is now firm, with a moderate business at fully the previous rates, 587 bales having been sold at auction at £49 10s. to £50 5s. per ton for fair current quality.\n\n#### PEPPER\nThere has been a fair inquiry for black privately, and nearly 8,000 bags have been sold, Penang at 2¼d. to 2 15/16d., Singapore 3d. to 5/16d., and Tellicherry at 3¼d. At public sale, 840 bags Penang were all taken at 2¼d.; also 164 bags Singapore White at 5d. to 5¼d., and 100 bags privately at 5d. cash.\n\n#### RICE\nA rise in the Corn market, consequent upon the uncertain weather, has been followed by a movement in this article. Owing, however, to the small stock there has been but little in which to operate on the spot, and in consequence the greater part of the transactions have taken place in floating cargoes or parcels. About 18,000 bags have changed hands on the spot at full to rather higher prices, viz., 10s. 9d. to 12s. 3d. for Soft-grain, and 16s. to 16s. 6d. for white Bengal. Of floating cargoes about forty have changed hands, the latest sales being at 11s. to 11s. 3d. for ...\n\n#### TAPIOCA\nAt auction 136 bags Singapore were chiefly sold, good middling and good white 4¼d. to 5d. per lb.; and 165 bags pearl Tapioca fetched 30s. to 31s. per cwt.\n\n### ARTICLES OF EXPORT\n\n#### IRON\nThe quotations in London are for Welsh bars, £5 15s. to £6; nail rods, £7 10s. to £7 15s.; hoops, £8 10s. to £9; sheets, single, £9 15s. to £10; Staffordshire bars, £7 10s. to £7 15s.; rails, £4 5s.\n\n#### COPPER\nSheet and Sheathing, £79 to £83 per ton; yellow metal, 7d. to 7¼d. per lb.\n\n#### TIN\n£91 for block; £92 for common bars. Tin plates, best charcoal I.C., 30s. to 31s.\n\n#### LEAD, &c.\nEnglish pig, W.B., £21; shot, patent, £23; sheet, £20 15s.; spelter, £20 17s. 6d.; zinc, English sheet, £26 to £26 10s.; quicksilver, £6 17s. 6d.\n\nThe following is from the Circular of Messrs. French and Smith :- \nThere has been no activity in the Metal Market the past month, the increasing abundance and cheapness of money having apparently no influence. Almost all transactions reported have been for immediate consumption or shipment. Iron: Scotch and Welsh are quoted a shade easier; Staffordshire is steady, with a good demand for the East; and as some few of the railways are on the market again for Rails, a firmer tone in this branch of the trade may reasonably be expected. Copper is rather lower than at the beginning of July. The mail on 18th ult., brought advices of charters for about 1,400 tons Copper, 850 tons of which were Bars. That on the 29th ult. brought advices of about 1,800 tons Copper, of which 1,200 were Bars. Sales of Bars have been made at £67 10s. Prices now quoted are: Bars, £84 to £85; Wallaroo, £82 to £83; English Tough Cake, £75 to £76; Chili Bars, £68 to £69. Tin: A large business was done in Tin during July, principally for immediate delivery; and the quantity of Straits taken out of warehouse here is very large. The consumption in England continues great, especially for Tin-Plate manufacturers, whose works were never more fully employed. The price for fine Straits in July was between £86 10s. and £87; it is rather weak Banca is at the latter quotation to-day through some pressing sellers. steady in Holland at 53 guilders; English firm, at quotations. Tin Plates are in very good demand, and, notwithstanding the large production, prices are rather stronger. The shipments in July were 140,000 boxes, against 165,000 boxes same month in 1866. By the Board of Trade returns, the exports, January to June, were 36,690 tons, against 34,750 tons in 1866, and 30,410 in 1855. Lead is more inquired for, although there is no improvement in price. Spelter advanced in the middle of July to £21 5s., at which some small business was done, but has gone back to £20 17s. 6d. The stock on 31st July was 3,627 tons, against 6,808 tons in 1866. Quicksilver unchanged.\n\n### EXPORT OF BULLION TO CHINA, &c.\n\nThe following return shows the shipments of bullion from Southampton from the 1st January by the P. and O.

Coal Stores and opposite and on either side of the Gas Works, the wall is being there constructed under Government plans but certainly not to my satisfaction. I am constantly protesting against the wretched manner in which the work is being executed and warning the Tenants that I shall not take over the wall when completed but I can do nothing more, and I feel sure Mr. Cleverly did the same thing while the wall between the Harbour Master's Office and Water Police Wharf was... \n\n306", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-129 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [1-3].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 274036, "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": "CO129-130 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [4-5]", "page_number": 297, "title": "CO129-130 - Sir MacDonnell - 1868 [4-5]", "content_text": "Hongthong, 27th April 1868.\n\n**Governor**\nSir Richard Graves MacDonnell, CB\n\n**acting Colonial Secretary**\n(Col.

I thought I saw her mast-head light following us from the forecastle. When I came up from below, I came fast to the break of the forecastle and looked over the bulwarks. The other vessel was just abreast of the bridge, and I should say, about half a ship's length off from where I was standing. When I last looked out, I saw only a light, not a ship. I was not two minutes on deck the first time I came up. I ran down, as I feared the topmast might fall or something. I didn't know what might come down. I did not see any break in the other vessel. I saw a light, but I did not know whether it was a port, or a gun port, or what. I thought it was a large port, but had not much time to look. I did see through the light, but I saw no person or persons behind the light. I did not see any table. I swear that I saw nothing to evidence that the other vessel was damaged. I did not hear her whistle blow. I heard no shout from the other vessel. I did not hear the report of any gun. I did not see the flash from any gun. I have not stated to any one in Yokohama that I saw the flash of any gun. I have been asked the question and answered \"no.\" After I had gone below, I suppose it was from seven to ten minutes before I came on deck again. When I came on deck, I saw what I thought was the mast-head light of the other vessel; it might have been a mile or a mile and a half off, but I cannot tell.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD: I have never been a sailor, always a steward. I know there was a lighthouse; I can't say if the light I saw came from the light-house. I went on shore about a quarter to eight, I think. I got back again about 11 P.M. I didn't return immediately, as I had to wait for the officer with whom I had come on shore. I went to the Post office with the third officer. I was waiting at the Post office about twenty minutes or half an hour. We were waiting some time on the Bund to get carts to take the mail away. I was about fifteen minutes at the hotel and had one glass of brandy and water. I should think I was quite sober when I arrived on board the Bombay. I swear I was not half tight. I went on board to report a message from Mr. Dalziel to the chief officer. I told the chief officer that Mr. Dalziel wanted the Captain to take the ship to the French buoy the first thing in the morning. I am possessed of no nautical knowledge.\n\nTo the Court: My cabin is on the lower deck forward. I mean the main deck; it is on the starboard side; it has a port; I could not look out of that port; was obliged to keep it closed all night; saw nothing through that port. I was in my cabin at the time of the collision. I felt a shock and thought we had gone on shore; that's why I ran on deck. I then went up the fore companion, that is before the bridge, just at the break of the forecastle. I could not hear anything that was said on the bridge as I went up the companion; I could hear no cry, nor hail, nor could I hear a steam whistle going. The light I saw after coming on deck the second time was right astern. No one was standing by me when I saw the other vessel the first time; the carpenter and gunner were on the forecastle when I went up there. The carpenter said he had seen some one lifted away from a table inside where the light was; he said \"he thought she was hard struck,\" or words to that effect. We had not passed the lightship when the carpenter made those remarks to me. The carpenter's name is Murray. Don't remember how the conversation with the carpenter commenced. I did not report that conversation to the Captain or to any officer. I did not report it at the P. & D. office on shore. At the time I went on deck the second time, I don't know if our engines were going or not. Soon after this, I received orders from the chief officer to go down below to the store room; I went to the store room. The water was running into the store room fast. I didn't see the well sounded. The water was coming in at the bows; a good body of water was coming in as large as the stream from a fire engine hose. The carpenter said he thought he saw some one being removed from a table or something. I don't remember having mentioned anything about this conversation at the International, or at any other place. I looked over the starboard bulwarks. I don't know what distance the two vessels were apart when I went on deck the first time. It took me about two seconds to run on deck. My cabin is about seven or eight yards from the ladder.\n\n(Signed)\n\nE. NEWMAN, \nSteward in charge.\n\nJOHN MURRAY, sworn, states: I am carpenter of the steamship Bombay. I was walking on the forward part of the spar deck, just before the collision took place. I suppose I could see a mile or two off. It was blowing pretty fresh. I heard an order given to port or starboard the helm; I don't know which. I felt a very slight shock. After the collision, I was ordered to go and sound the well. I reported to the chief officer that there were three inches of water in the second forward compartment. I didn't at the time report what water was in the forward compartment, as it was used as a storeroom and locked up. I did examine the fore compartment afterwards. When we got there, I heard the water coming in, but could not see it for stores. It may have been five or eight minutes after the collision that I examined the fore compartment. The deck was overflooded with water, but the lower compartment was not then filled. I paid no attention to whether the engines were going then. I know the engines had been stopped, but I cannot say for how long they were stopped. The stores were removed from the fore compartment when we found that the water was coming in. Could not say with what force the water was coming in. The fore compartment was lined with wood, one and three-quarter inches or two inches thick. We cut away the wood to see if there was any leak besides the one we had found out. We had discovered one leak about two feet under the water line. One of the plates was split. The crack was ten inches to a foot in length. I put some wedges into the crack, but they were forced out by the ship going through the water. There was nothing in the hole before I attempted to wedge it up. The thickness of the plate which was cracked was about 3/16ths of an inch. I was not on deck after this, only when the ship stopped. I was busily engaged below. There is only one carpenter aboard the ship.\n\nAt the time of the collision, I was a little abaft the bridge on the starboard side, opposite to the engine room. One of the stewards was there, but I cannot say whether he stopped there. It was the bedroom steward. I was not standing looking at the ship with the chief steward at the time of the collision. Immediately after the collision, I saw a ship under sail, then I saw her sheer alongside of us and go past us. I saw her propeller, and it was going round, but I don't know whether astern or ahead. I saw damage had been done to the other ship, but I could not tell to what extent. She appeared to be damaged about the starboard quarter. She was damaged above the water line, but I cannot say whether she was damaged below the line. I saw two men lift another man and hand him away. I had some conversation about this on the forecastle afterwards, just for a minute. I did not report the circumstance to the Captain or to any officer. It was immediately after that that I was called by the chief officer to go below. After that, I remained below until the ship was off the light-ship. The chief officer went below with me part of the time. I don't recollect that I had said anything to the chief officer of what I had seen. When abreast of the light-ship, there were over nine feet of water in the fore compartment. I considered she was making water fast. We had buckets; the sluice valve was up, but under way at the time.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG: I could give no idea of what time elapsed between the collision and the time I got the store-room door opened. I think the ship was under way at the time, but I really cannot say. When I got into the first compartment, we could not sound the wells as it was full of stores. We could not sound the foremost compartment till about 8 or 10 minutes after the collision, but I am only guessing that. When we first sounded, I think there were about five feet of water in the first compartment. That had increased to about 9 feet when we got up to the light-ship, and we were baling the ship out all the time. When abreast of the light-ship, the water in the second compartment had increased to about 18 inches. This water in the second compartment came from the first compartment, I think. The sluice was up at the time, and the sluice communicates between the two compartments. The width of the crack below the water line may have been one-eighth of an inch or more. Before we reached the light-ship, we had no pumps going. I do not think there was any water coming through the hole where the plank went through the stem. There was a plank through the stem. It is not there now. I examined it before it was taken out. The diameter of this plank was 12 to 14 inches. It came from the port side. The hole which it made was a sort of oblong. It passed through an iron plate on the port side, then through a part of the main deck waterways, and through the plate on the other side; it bulged the iron out on the other side, and from outside on the starboard bow, burst it so that we could see a part of the end of it. The thickness of the plates is about 5/16ths of an inch. This spar may have penetrated say two or three inches of wood. The waterways connect abaft the stem. The timber penetrated abaft the stem. I was about six feet from the ship's rail on the starboard side when the ship's struck. I heard a person on board the other ship, just after the collision, sing out either \"ship ahoy\" or \"steamer ahoy.\" That's all I heard, and an officer from the Bombay answered. Did not hear any reply to the Bombay's answering hail. I did not hear her steam whistle. I did not hear any gun fire. I did not see the flash of any\n\ngun. I did see a break made into the Oneida by the Bombay; I think it was a little abaft the mizen mast, near her starboard quarter. When she struck, I could not see if the other vessel had a wheel house; but I saw a part fall over to one side; but I could not say what it was. I saw something that the Bombay had knocked away go over toward the port side. It was on the deck. I cannot say if it fell overboard or not. It looked like a wheel house or something of that sort. I saw a light at this point. I saw three men. I saw two men handing one man toward the fore part of the ship. I saw no more persons. I saw a light through a table; this hole appeared to me to fall on a table. I didn't see anything on the table, as if there was a meal spread, or anything of that kind. I saw the three men on one of the decks. If she had a poop deck, they must have been on the spar deck. The third man was being supported along by a man on either side of him. I could see a lamp, but whether it was hanging above or on the table, I cannot say. I saw that lamp, I think, through the hole which had been made by the collision. I did not see the wheel of the vessel. I saw what I thought to be a table; but no other furniture. The light and the table were on the same deck on which I saw the man being supported. I was about 20 feet abaft the bridge of the Bombay when I saw this. I don't know if any one else saw it. There was a party looking over the side with me, but I cannot say whether he saw it or not. That person was one of the stewards. I think his name is Smith. No one else was standing by or near me. I am quite sure that I made no mention of this to the first officer. I mentioned it to the chief steward, who was standing in one of a group on the spar deck. I know there were three or four in a group, but I could not say whether the second-class passenger was there or not. I did not go on shore that night after anchoring. The leak I referred to was on the port side of the ship. I found a gaff and part of a sail, and a spanker boom hanging over the side belonging to the other vessel. I did not see any boat on the ship.\n\nTo Mr. BARNARD: I did not report what I had seen to the Captain or any officer. It was not my duty to do so. I was not on the spar deck more than three or four seconds. The remarks were made after sounding the second compartment and before sounding the first, before we got to the light-ship. I don't know if the engine room pumps were going before the water rose to a height of 18 inches in the second compartment.\n\nTo the Court: From two to three inches is the usual amount of water in the second compartment. I did not examine the bulkhead in the second compartment. Could not get at it, as it was full of coals. After that, I came on to the spar deck. It was then I had the conversation with the steward. I think the 18 inches in the second compartment was owing in a measure to the sluice valve being open. If I had considered our ship in danger, I should have gone direct to the Captain and reported it. It would have been my duty to have done so. The chief officer was there when I found the timber through her bows, and he reported it to the Captain. If the chief officer had been present, I should have reported to him, and not to the Captain, had I thought the ship was in danger. The body I saw falling over to port might have been a boat, and it might have been a deck house. As I stood, the light from the other ship was abreast of me, about 20 or 30 yards from me. At that time, we were sheering off to port, and her stern and quarter were nearly abeam.\n\nI saw the Oneida's screw after I had seen the light. I did not see her wheel. Had the wheel been under the poop, I could not have seen it. It was too dark to have seen it had it been on the poop. Her screw was going round when I saw it after the collision. I did not see any part of the Oneida as it were cut off and floating away. I did not see any spars or pieces of wreck floating between the two vessels. I am unable to say on what deck it was I saw the table and the light--whether it was between the poop and the spar deck, or between the spar deck and the water line. I have described what I saw through the hole, but I cannot give any idea as to the size or shape of the hole. I was looking at the hole from a slanting position and saw, I should say, the whole of the bodies of the three men. I did not think the other vessel was cut down to the water's edge. From what I saw, I did not think there was any danger of her sinking. I saw her on our port bow just a minute before the collision. I didn't see her long after the collision, as she went away past us with all her sails set. I could not tell whether she was drifting past us or whether she was being steered. I think we took the Oneida a little on our starboard bow. We struck her from her bows and towards her stern. I could not see the amount of injury we had done her as it was dark, and I could not see on her deck. I saw the body falling towards the port side of the ship before I saw the light. It did not appear to me that the light issued from where this body was moved. I was walking and about six feet from the rails of the Bombay at the time of the collision. The shock was so slight that I hardly felt it. I did not perceive any recoil, but just felt a slight shock after the collision. The vessels were clear of each other at once. I think it was pieces of plank of some kind in the stem. One piece was pitch pine, and the other pitch or red pine, I should say red pine. It was about 16 inches long. There was some oakum and cotton about it. I saw a six or seven-inch spike in it. I didn't see any iron bolts in it. I at no time made a report to the Captain or any officer of the ship that the Bombay was in danger. Had I thought the Oneida was in danger, I should not have thought it my duty to report it, not while all the officers were looking at it--not while all the officers were on duty and could see the ship as much as I did. I do not know of any reason to prevent a person standing on the bridge from seeing everything as I did. I was standing about eight feet lower than the level of the bridge. I think I was a little higher than the level of the fracture in the other vessel.\n\n(Signed)\n\nJOHN MURRAY.\n\nAdjourned till 2 P.M.\n\nProceedings resumed at two P.M.\n\nDAVID RENNIE, sworn, states: I am chief engineer of the Bombay. The second engineer was on duty at the time of the collision. I was in the engine room. I remember the collision. The collision felt to me more like a glide than anything. I was stepping into the engine room at the time the telegraph bell sounded. The order conveyed by the bell was \"Stop.\" The telegraph bell conveyed no further order until \"go ahead\" again. I should say about three minutes had elapsed from the first order being given till I felt the collision. I cannot say how long the steamer was stopped, as I did not take the time. The engine room's bilge pumps are always working and were working at that time--you could not disconnect the pumps; if the engines are going, the pumps must necessarily be in motion at the same time. The pump might miss drawing the water from a compartment of the ship for a little time. I have no reason to know that the pumps missed drawing the water. During the time there were 18 inches in the second compartment.\n\nTo Mr. DE LONG: The Bombay is divided into compartments. The pumps are connected with the fore hold, main hold, engine room, and stoke hole. The forward hold is not connected with the pumps. The second compartment where the 18 inches of water were is connected with the pump. There are seven bulkheads in the ship and seven compartments, but they don't extend to the main deck. The compartments are named the first, and one right behind that, of wood, the fore hold, the coal bunker, the stoke hole, the engine room, the main hold, and the magazine. The pumps are always going; but I don't know whether they were drawing water after the collision. I keep an engineer's log. In that log, it is my duty to enter the time at which the engines are stopped and at which they go on again. It is noted at about the time the engines were stopped on the occasion of the collision; but the exact time was not taken. The second engineer noted the time. It was noted as soon as his watch had expired. His watch expired at 8 o'clock. The collision took place between 6 and 6.30 P.M. We have a state in the engine room from which the log is made up. I didn't see the slate, but I saw the book that was made up from the slate. I cannot tell whether the entry in the book corresponded with that on the slate. I have not got that record with me. We have a counter to show the number of revolutions. She was making about 26 revolutions, equalling 8 to 8.5 knots, before the order to stop was given. Received no order to \"reverse the engines.\" At the moment of the collision, I think we were going perhaps about 6 or 6.5 knots. When the collision took place, I was putting in the starting bar of the engine. The bar was in at the moment of the shock. It had no effect on me at all--did not even stagger me.\n\nTo the Court: The engines were stopped the instant the order was given. Had I been ordered to \"reverse,\" it would have taken me, I should say, three minutes. I should have been as long as that, as I should have had to get the men to \"stand by.\" They were not ready. Had they been ready, it would have taken from 30 seconds to a minute. I made up the log myself from the rough book. It was made up on the night on which we anchored in Yokohama.\n\n(Signed)\n\nDAVID C. RENNIE.\n\nWILLIAM HERBERT, sworn, states: I am gunner on board the steamship Bombay. I was on duty at the time of the collision. I was on the forecastle. I saw the other ship when she was about a mile off. I think I saw all her lights--the masthead and two side lights. She was a little on our port bow coming towards us. I could not at first see whether she was under sail or steam; but when she got closer, I saw she was under sail. I could not tell she was under steam before she got clear of us. I saw her screw working when she was abreast of our funnel after the collision had taken place. The only light I lost sight of was the red light. I watched the other vessel until about one or two minutes before we struck; I had time to reach the poop. I went to the poop in order to get out of the way of the collision. I knew there was to be one. The collision was very slight where I was. The seacannie was the only one on the bow on the look out that I know of. I think he stopped there during the collision. At the time of the collision, I was on the top of the poop ladder. I saw the other vessel going by us from the top of the poop ladder. She passed pretty quickly. I did not see her smoke stack. I saw her sails and her screw going round. I saw a light on board of her. I cannot say where the light came from. I cannot describe the light. I saw a hole in the ship's side. It was a breach. I could not tell if it was a large hole. I only saw one person on board the other ship.

Under these circumstances, His Excellency proposes that the lowest Tender now offered for the work, namely, $12,600, be accepted, and that the Council should authorize the Expenditure of that sum for the construction of the work in question. After some discussion, the Council concurs in the proposal of His Excellency, and an Expenditure not exceeding $12,600 for the construction of the New Roof at Government House is agreed to.\n\nHis Excellency adjourns the Council at a quarter before 6 o'clock, till Friday, the 5th Instant, at 2 P.M.\n\nRead and confirmed, this 29th Day of May, 1871.\n\nL.

The following letter, received from Captain Mies of the brig `Rio Loge`, relative to the position of Rennels and Bellona Islands, is published for general information.\n\nG. GREY.\n\n### RENNELS AND BELLONA ISLANDS, Dunedin, 3rd October, 1878.\n\nSIR-I have the honour to report to you an error in the position of some islands I passed on my passage from Foochow to this port in the brig `Rio Loge`. These islands, named Rennels and Bellona, are marked as \"doubtful\" islands on the latest published charts, and are situated directly in the track between China and Australia. The position assigned to Rennels Island is N.W. point 11° 12' south latitude, and 160° 10' east longitude, whereas the correct position should be for the N.W. point 11° 30' south latitude, and 160° 8' east longitude, making an error of 18' in latitude and 2' in longitude. My observations were taken within two or three miles of the N.W. point, and the error of my chronometer found only the day before at Christoval, so that I can rely upon the position. The S.E. point I place in 11° 51' south and 160° 49' east, approximate. Rennels Island and Bellona bear from each other N.W. by W. and S.E. by E., not more than fifteen miles distant.\n\nI cannot find in any directory a description of Rennels Island, and I believe there is none published, I therefore enclose the following remarks from my own observation:-\n\nRennels Island is about 38 miles long and 8 wide at the N.W., and lies in a N.W. and S.E. direction, is about 600 to 800 feet high, of uniform height throughout, and thickly wooded down to the water's edge. Along the whole N.E. side is a fringing reef about two cables from the shore. The N.W. point is a gradually-sloping point, with a hummock two hundred or three hundred yards from the beach, and has a reef extending about four or five cables from the shore, with a strong tide rippling round the point; the coast trends about three miles to the S.W., and thence to south-eastward. Bellona Island appears to be about the same height as Rennels Island, and also thickly wooded.\n\nTrusting that you will give this publicity for the benefit of shipmasters generally.\n\nI have, &c.,\n\nEDWARD MILES,\nMaster `Rio Loge`.\n\n## THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 22ND JANUARY, 1879.\n\n### Government of India.\n\n## DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE, AGRICULTURE, AND COMMERCE.\n\n## NOTICE TO MARINERS.\n\n[No. 27.]\n\nBAY OF BENGAL-GODAVERY DISTRICT-COCANADA. Intended Exhibition of Revolving light at Vakalepudi.\n\nNotice is hereby given that owing to the extension of the mud deposits from the Godavery river and the consequent removal of the anchorage to the northward, the light at present shown on the north side of the entrance to the Cocanada river is of little use, and that on and after the 15th of January 1879 this light will be extinguished, and a new light exhibited at Vakalapudi, which lies 4.0 nautical miles N. by E. ¼ E. from the present light-house.\n\nThe light will be a revolving white light, showing a flash every 20 seconds, elevated 80 feet above high water, and in clear weather should be visible from a distance of 14 miles, in every direction seaward.\n\nThe illuminating apparatus is catadioptric, or by reflectors and lenses of the fourth order.

The Consul, Col. Moneby, and his clerk Mr Rickards, saw to the proper formal introduction of each presentee, and everything passed over most successfully and quietly. The Consulate was adorned with flags. Outside were displayed the Stars and Stripes, and the Peruvian flag; and in the entrance hall were displayed the American flag and the Peruvian, with the Portuguese and Italian flags on either side of the doorway.\n\nThe American Consulate is at the same time the Peruvian Consulate. Over the doorway leading to the reception chamber were the English and American flags. In the reception room, the Russian and German flags were hung. The reception did not last long, less than an hour being occupied altogether. The following is as complete a list as could be obtained of those who were present. If any names are unwittingly left out it is entirely the blame of those who failed to leave their cards — G. Holcombe, Esq., Charge d'Affaires, Peking; Bishop Raimondi; Hon. Acting Puisne Judge, J.

General Grant, his son Lieut.-Col. Grant, and Mr Russell J. Young, who accompanied him, after the reception proceeded to Government House to tiffin, and spent most of the afternoon there. During the afternoon Messrs. Roberts and Shorter, the billiard players, had the honour of playing at Government House, before His Excellency and General Grant, the ladies, and the other members of the party. The Governor and General Grant drove round the town in the course of the afternoon.\n\nTo-night, a dinner will take place at Government House, when about twenty guests will be present. Mr and Mrs Robert Hart, who proceed to Shanghai to-day by the French steamer, were among the guests at Government House last night. To-morrow night a State Dinner will be given, when about forty guests will be present, all official guests appearing in full uniform. The Band will be in attendance, and a reception will be held from 10 till 12; when the brilliant lighting up of Government House Gardens will add additional beauty and attraction to this evening's entertainment. Half way up the hill, in Wyndham Street, a capital transparency portrait of General Grant, with on the other side the British and American flags, has been exposed every night, lighted up brilliantly, and has attracted much attention. The lamp is shown over the house of Mr Moore, an American.\n\nGeneral Grant is a man in appearance about fifty years of age, although actually seven years older, having been born in 1822, 27th April. He looks uncommonly fresh in spite of the tear and wear of War's alarms, and the worrying and trying boredom of being lionized as he has been for the past six months or more. He is rather under than over the average size, has a fresh ruddy face, and brown hair of a grayish hue. He is evidently a man of most unassuming manners and most dogged resolution, and when he gets into his favourite attitude, crossing his knees and leaning slightly forward, with his cigar in his hand, he recalls to one's recollection the five or six hundred portraits we have all seen of him, either during the war or the term of his double presidency.\n\nIn conversation he is a willing participator, and talks genially and pleasantly.\n\nPage 333", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 303747, "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": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "page_number": 339, "title": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "content_text": "# THE CHINA MAIL.\n\n## HONGKONG, MONDAY, MAY 5, 1879.\n\n### GENERAL GRANT IN HONGKONG,\n\n#### GRAND STATE DINNER AND RECEPTION AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE.\n\nOn Saturday evening a grand State dinner was given at Government House by the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy, in honour of General Grant; and afterwards a reception was held, which was one of the most brilliant and numerously attended that ever took place within these walls.\n\nThe following were the guests at the State Dinner:\n\n| Guest | Title/Position |\n| --- | --- |\n| General and Mrs. Grant | |\n| The Duke of Magliano | |\n| Don Giulio Grasioli | |\n| Hon.

Polka, **Telephone**, Werner\n\nAfter the toast of **\"Her Majesty the Queen,\"** which was duly honoured in the usual way, the band playing **\"God Save the Queen,\"** His Excellency said:\n\nThe Governor of this Colony has from time to time had the privilege of welcoming, in the name of the whole community, distinguished visitors. One of the children of our Queen has been residing in this house, and my immediate predecessor entertained here a son of the Emperor of Russia. But I believe the young princes would be themselves among the first to say that the man whose health I am now about to propose, is the most illustrious guest that ever sat at this table. I do not refer so much to the military achievements which will for ever rank the name of Ulysses Grant with those of Washington, Wellington, and Napoleon, but to those other achievements, indicated by Lord Beaconsfield, when he truly said that the future of civilization is indissolubly bound up in the future of the United States - those other achievements, accomplished by the toleration, resolute strength, and love of justice of the statesman, when the sword of the soldier was laid aside.\n\nTwo years have gone since he first saw, at Yok harbour, the shores of the British Empire. During that time he has visited the Old World, breathed the Scotch air of his ancestors, and passed on from point to point of Queen Victoria's dominions; and now, on leaving this Island and crossing the Pacific to his own home, he is about to part with that Empire throughout the whole of which he has been received with one long ovation of respect and affection. As the Queen's representative, and in the name of every one in this Colony, I thank him for giving us this opportunity of showing him that we all appreciate his character and career.\n\nWill you forgive me, ladies and gentlemen, if I presume to add that there are one or two personal reasons also why it affords me peculiar pleasure to see General Grant at my table. During the whole of those ever-memorable years, from the day when he drilled his company of volunteers at Galena, to the capture of Richmond and the surrender of the rebel army, I was in a small way mixed up in public affairs in England, as a member of that assembly the power of which, for good or evil, is not confined within the bounds of England's Sovereignty. It is now a matter of history that in both Houses of the British Parliament there were friends and foes of Freedom, but we may recall with pride the fact that two men so diverse in person and disposition and party relations as John Bright and Benjamin Disraeli, were sagacious enough to know that the honour of their own Country and the welfare of the World were associated with the cause for which Ulysses Grant was contending.\n\nWhilst Bright was repairing the blunders of one or two eminent men of the Liberal party, the great Conservative Chief was, to my own personal knowledge, labouring night and day to counteract unreasoning prejudice amongst his own followers, and it is ever to me a source of intense satisfaction that, though in a very humble way no doubt, I was one of those members of the House of Commons who loyally supported his prudent and patriotic policy.\n\nBut this is not the only personal reason that is present to my mind to-night. I am a citizen of Cork. I come from that corner of the Old World, nearest, and not less dear, to the United States; and on behalf of my fellow citizens I now assure General Grant that in no part of the civilized globe would he have received a heartier welcome, if he had honoured us with a visit, than in my native city.\n\nI now invite you to drink his health, and will ask you not to forget the charming lady at my right, and her family; for, within the last few minutes, a telegram has reached them from London, announcing the birth of a grand-child, so that General Grant, though still comparatively a young man, younger indeed to-day than Washington when he first became President, has, as a grandfather, added another little link to unite the two countries together. I give you, with all my heart, the health of General Grant.\n\nGeneral Grant, in reply, said:\n\nI am very grateful to you for your kind address, to which I would be happy to respond, but there is so much personal and flattering to myself that I find it impossible. It is only a continuance of the kindness that I have... \n\nPage 334", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 303968, "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": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "page_number": 560, "title": "CO129-184 - Governor Hennessy - 1879 [1-5]", "content_text": "# Minute by His Excellency The Governor\n\nI have considered Mr Marsh's Report on the Audit work of this Colony with anxious desire to support, if possible, the recommendation he wishes me to lay before the Secretary of State; but before I can deal finally with the question Mr. Marsh raises as to the expediency of recreating the independent office of Auditor with a separate salary and relieving him of the work, I should like to get further details as to the defects Mr Marsh has discovered in the collection of Revenue.

The nineteenth century can now add to the roll of its triumphs the fourth and final route from Europe to Asia. It is our privilege to-night to behold the illustrious man who has done this-who left Europe fifteen months ago and is received by us after sailing through the Arctic Seas and accomplishing the North East passage. No generation to come can witness the completion of a voyage rivalling this. We be bold as it were in this remote outpost of Europe the writing of the last words in the last chapter of heroic maritime discovery.\n\nI congratulate the Sovereign of Sweden on the gallantry and success of His Majesty's sailors, led by Captain Palander and the officers of the Vega; I congratulate that great republic - the World of Science - on the achievement of one of her choicest citizens, Professor Nordenskiöld. Ladies and gentlemen, let us drink his health and that of his companions.\n\nHis Excellency's toast was received with enthusiasm, and the band played the Swedish National Air.\n\nProfessor Nordenskiold then rose and replied in Swedish. He has favoured us with the following translation: I have to thank your Excellency, on behalf of my comrades and myself, for the kind words you have used in proposing our healths, and the ladies and gentlemen present for the kind manner in which they have received the toast. Already to-day, in another place, I have had to thank the Inhabitants of Hongkong for the handsome way in which the Swedish expedition has been received in this Colony, and I then stated our visit here would be one of the pleasantest remembrances of the Vega's voyage. To your Excellency's guests on the present occasion I beg to repeat the same thing, but especially I have to thank your Excellency for the munificent hospitality you have extended to myself and Captain Palander at Government House, where we have been guests during our stay here. I now beg to propose the health of His Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy.\n\nThis toast was duly honoured.\n\n## Reception\n\nHis Excellency the Governor and Mrs. Hennessy held an \"at home\" and a brilliant and numerously attended reception after dinner, in honour of their distinguished guests.

Hennessy came into office, it was considered that Mr Smith, who was then Registrar General, had worked very well.\n\nReference was made to Mr Smith's memo on the duties of transferring the Registrar General to other departments. This will be found in GR1178/1922/32(III)14120/28, but it must be remembered that Mr Smith did not recommend making any change; he only pointed out certain changes which could be made if it was determined not to leave things alone.\n\nThe report received in the committee on the subject in April 1880 speaks for itself: it points out that nothing is to be gained by the proposed transfer of certain duties to various departments. A few of the Registrar General's duties and Sir J. Hennessy has therefore abandoned this scheme and wishes only to make the office of Chinese Secretary...\n\nThe work of the Chinese Secretary can be infinitely better done by the Registrar General as the head of the Chinese office than by the chief interpreter; and such has been the decision given in Lord Kimberley's despatch.\n\nA comparison of the new with the original draft rules will show that they have been modified i. so as to bring the Interpretation department more under the Col-Secretary, and ii. so as to lay more stress on the interpretation side and less on that of the Chinese.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-192 - Governor Hennessy - 1881 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 311416, "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": "CO129-197 - Governor Hennessy - 1882 [1-2]", "page_number": 437, "title": "CO129-197 - Governor Hennessy - 1882 [1-2]", "content_text": "# THE DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD, 1982.\n\n## HONGKONG VARIOUS.\n\n### INSURANCE.\n\n**THE DAILY PRESS** \nHONGKONG, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD, 1982.\n\n## INSURANCE COMPANIES AT HANKURUES.\n\n### SOUTH GORMAN PURE INSURANCE COMPANY.\n\n| CAPITAL | $2.06 |\n| --- | --- |\n| ASSOCIATION.

Manson's claim ÷ the Hong Kong time to 1041962 Order appears to me to give to the Pension Minute of 1870 the form of law; and that no further approval of the Sec. of State was required in order to give it validity. It would have been more in accordance with the Circular of 15 July 1869 if the draft Minute had first been submitted for the Leg. Council's approval, but I quite agree with Julian Pauncefote's comment.\n\nThat a minute under Article 13 of 62 required is for legal effect to the rules det int.\n\nThe Earlier Minutes seem not to recognise that Hong Kong Minutes have the force of law by virtue of their terms of that Article and although the Sec. of State previous to the issue of Pension Minutes have authority to declare what pension should begin in any case, I feel some doubt whether after the Order, he has any such power in a case covered by the conditions of a Pension minute; there is no doubt he will be able to fix the pension of a servant to whom the Pension minute does not apply.\n\ngrr/1/86\n\nThis leads to a further question whether the casual or approval of the International Scheme expounded by Sir M. Hicks Beach in his despatch of 1 May 1878 - 22 March 1880 - + 2 March 1880 - (which appears to be correctly abstracted in the printed Enclosure to 114.45) is sufficient to deprive any body of the benefit of the Minute of 1870; anything short of an absolute repeal of it by another minute could do so.\n\nI understand that there is a draft Pension Minute on Stockton Sommerset in the Office which was sent home by Sir John Burdon in 1880, which may have superseded the minute of 1870 but it is still here in Draft so has not been completed or had effect.\n\nIt seems to me therefore I see what Civil servants are now at Hongkong, who have come in from the Colonies, & might possibly claim under the Minute of 1870.\n\nSin C. Smith suffered by leaving Hong Kong which have adopted the scheme of 1869 for the Pensions which had not done so, but I am afraid we can hardly match M. Marsh on that account.\n\nA. M. O'Malley was transferred from Jamaica to Hongkong in 1879 (after 3 years only in former Colony). M. Price, ditto in 1873 (after 2 yrs. in Sierre Leone). Sir H.

What size of sewer would you propose for a town of 25,000 population where the gradient is 1 in 300? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Geographical configuration, annual average rainfall, number of present population and prospective increase, taking the last census as a basis. Whether a full water-closet town, or if to be sewered on the separate system: the nature of the outfall with a view to gravitation or mechanical lifting, and other minor causes.\n\nThe size of the outfall sewer, in my opinion, should be not less than 3 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 6 inches, discharging 185 cubic feet per minute, thus allowing the sewage at 30 cubic feet per head per day to be discharged in eight hours. On the separate system this capacity for a full water closet town, and to allow for heavy rainfalls, say 3 feet by 4 feet 6 inches, if rain or surface waters is to be included, discharging 267 cubic feet per minute, with the inclination given of 1 in 300.\n\nQuestion 4\nWrite a specification for laying stoneware pipe sewers.\n\nAnswer: Being the specification for a pipe sewer, I assume that any local surveyor would be equal to this, and as it would take up a very considerable space in the SANITARY RECORD, without a corresponding benefit to surveyors generally, I omit to take up the space, the general features of such a specification being that the pipes shall be straight, sound, and true to bore, well and truly laid, and jointed in a perfectly water-tight manner; the earth excavated at the collars so that the body of the pipe may have a true bearing along its whole length. If in faulty ground concreted all around and on top to exclude uneven pressure; if on good ground, then the earth put in 6-inch layers, well rammed in around and above to avoid sinkage. All laid in straight lines from manhole to manhole, with provision for ventilation and lighting, so that a lamp inserted at a lamphole may be seen and show a light to an adjacent manhole, thus at once showing where any stoppage existed.\n\nQuestion 5.\nSupposing a sewer to have a gradient of 1 in 300, how much would the velocity and discharge be increased by altering the gradient to 1 in 60?\n\nAnswers: 1 in 300 = 4/57*32) = 7*92 increase of discharge per second. 1 in 60 = /1000 = 10*00) = 17*32 (1.732 increase of velocity per second.\n\n1005\n\n7320\n\n2000\n\n3200\n\n3000\n\n2000\n\n22000\n\nQuestion 6.\nGive a description of the process termed intermittent downward filtration. State what area of land you would require with a gravelly soil for applying this method of purifying sewage to a town with a population of 20,000 inhabitants; and state the arrangements you would adopt for dealing with the rain water falling on the roofs, yards, and streets.\n\nAnswer: Intermittent downward filtration may be termed a natural system of purification of sewage by means of the filtering and aërating action of the soil: it is carried on by discharging (with or without previous precipitation) upon a properly prepared area, the sewage of the town under drainage. This sewage is conducted upon the prepared area by a series of carriers, and then allowed to filter through the land into drains laid about 6 feet under ground, from whence it (as an effluent) is conducted to its outfall, mostly a river. The action upon the sewage is threefold—viz., evaporation, aëration, and filtration, and if properly conducted should give an effluent of a very high standard.\n\nAs to the amount of land requisite for the purification of the sewage of a town of 20,000 population, authorities differ, but taking the daily amount of sewage per head at 30 gallons, and the average of five persons to each house equal to 150 gallons per house per day, then the fact that this quantity must be got rid of in about eight hours, it would not be safe to reckon less than 1,000 gallons per house. Then taking 4,000 houses, there would be 4,000,000 gallons of sewage to deal with, which could be successfully treated on 5 acres of such land; but it would, of course, require that a very far larger amount should be provided, as no land could be expected to be constantly under treatment, and the least amount should be five times this quantity, so as to have only one-fifth under treatment.\n\nGreat diversity of opinion exists upon this subject, and no very hard and fast line can be drawn. Each case must rest upon individual merits and local circumstances.\n\nWith regard to dealing with rain-water from roofs, most of it should undoubtedly be stored for domestic use, as it is far too valuable to be uselessly wasted. Drainage from yards and roads should be conducted in separate channels (from the sewer proper) to a natural outfall: although often in storms the washings from roads may be nearly as bad as sewage; but, on the other hand, if the surface-water were admitted, the sewers would have to be greatly increased in size to provide for excessive rainfall.\n\nQuestion 7.\nDescribe and illustrate by sketches the essential points to be observed in carrying out a system of house drainage, and the best means of providing urinal and closet accommodation for schools, workhouses, and similar institutions.\n\nQuestion 8.\nIn arranging the water supply for a manufacturing town of 30,000 inhabitants, state what you consider of importance as regards (A) Sources of supply; (B) Quantity required; (C) Distribution.\n\nAnswer: (A) The geographical situation of the town, as to the possibility of gravitation from rivers or otherwise; the geological situation of its surroundings, with a view to its probability of affording a sufficiency of supply and its nature as to hardness, &c.; the annual average rainfall: what water rights, if any, existed; the present population and prospective rate of increase, and whether the town was a full water-closet one or otherwise.\n\n(B) Twenty-five to thirty gallons per head population.\n\n(C) Under pressure that all cisterns had ball-cocks and tell-tale overflows; that Deacon's waste-water preventers were in use; that a thorough system of inspection existed to detect waste; that the mains were well laid and efficiently jointed, and that a sufficiency existed for immediate use in case of fire. In the constant service system there is very little, if any, waste; the returns from many towns showing none; but in the intermittent there is often a large amount of waste through neglect of the inhabitants and defective fittings. The screw-down tap somewhat modifies this, but it is a very slow and unsatisfactory way of drawing water.\n\nQuestion 9.\nDescribe the general characters of the waters derived from—(1) The chalk; (2) the new red sandstone; (3) the carboniferous formations; and the methods by which water should be obtained from each.\n\nAnswer: (1) Water derived from the chalk formation, although generally pure and plentiful (except in long seasons of drought), is often very hard, leaving injurious effects on some constitutions.\n\n(2) Water derived from the new red sandstone formation is sometimes of a rather hard description, but not to the degree of that yielded by the chalk formation.\n\n(3) The carboniferous (or coal measure) formations always yields soft water of undoubted purity, and generally in ample volume for all purposes.\n\nQuestion 10.\nIn what ways is water able to be polluted after collection, during its distribution to houses, and in houses? What means would you adopt to prevent such pollution?\n\nAnswer: Water may become polluted after collection by fungoid growths and atmospheric influences (where exposed to such): during distribution, from imperfect pipes and joints allowing sewer or other gas to enter the mains; in houses, by improper fittings, such as a cistern in direct communication with the drain, or so placed as to be difficult of cleansing, and frequently not ventilated, and other insidious causes.\n\nQuestion 11.\nWhat fittings, and plumber's work generally are required for a high-pressure constant water service? How would you make the connection with the main? Describe the kinds of joints which should be used on the branches?\n\nAnswer: The class of fittings required for the high-pressure constant service are iron tubular services with iron angle or T-pieces, either tinned or galvanised. Where lead must be used the joints should be what is known as plumber's or wiped joints, the taps being those known as the high-pressure screw-down service taps, the connection with the main being by a ferrule; plumber's joints on branches, unless iron unions are used.\n\nQuestion 12.\nThere is great difficulty in obtaining a supply of good water for a country house, and it is therefore necessary to obtain as much water as possible from the roofs, and to use it for drinking and cooking purposes. The total area of area of the roof of the house and offices is 8,000 square feet, and the average annual rainfall is about 40 inches. Calculate what size the storage tank should be, and give a sketch of it and of its appendages?\n\nAnswer: Size of storage tank, 160,000 gallons.\n\nQuestion 13.\nTo what extent does the size of a room affect the quantity of fresh air required for effective ventilation, and what quantity of air would be required per hour for a room containing 8,000 cubic feet, occupied by fifteen people? How would you ventilate such a room? Illustrate your answer by sketches.\n\nAnswer: Douglas Galton in 'Healthy Homes' quotes: \"According to theoretical calculations, it would appear that, with an initial air space of 1,000 cubic feet, occupied by one individual, it would be necessary to supply 3,000 cubic feet per hour, to maintain the room in a proper condition of humidity. As regards other impurities, if 0.6 per 1,000 of CO2 are accepted as the limit of respiratory impurity in a well-ventilated air space, in addition to the 0.4 per 1,000 in normal air, we can calculate out the amount of air necessary for the purpose; and from this calculation it appears that it requires 3,000 cubic feet per hour to preserve the air-space in the required state of freshness. Thus the theoretical calculations, based first upon humidity, and secondly on carbonic acid, bring us to similar conclusions in each case.\"\n\nDe Chaumont in Parkes' 'Practical Hygiene': \"A certain amount of fresh air has to pass through a given space in a fixed time in order to maintain a certain degree of purity; the amount has been fixed at 3,000 cubic feet for each healthy person in an hour. Thus a space of 100 cubic feet must have its air changed thirty times in an hour. If 3,000 feet of air are to be given, while a space of 1,000 cubic feet need only have it changed three times in an hour for an equal ventilation, then our problem being 15 persons in a room of 8,000 cubic feet, would work out thus: - 3,000 x 15 = 45,000 cubic feet of air as requisite. The room being of 8,000 cubic feet capacity would require the air to be changed nearly 5.6 times in an hour.\n\nCOMPETITIONS.\nSANITARY INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN.\nAt an Examination, held Nov. 11 and 12, 62 Candidates presented themselves as Local Surveyors and 59 as Inspectors of Nuisances.

When bruised they emit a fetid odour. The flowers are as a rule white, although specimens may frequently be seen of a distinct yellow colour; corolla infundibuliform, from 3 to 5 inches long; calyx about 2 inches long. The sub-globose capsules are about 1.3 inches in diameter, and rest upon the enlarged flat persistent base of the calyx; they are armed with a number of spines, and split irregularly when ripe. The seeds, which do not appear to be used by the Chinese, are ear-shaped and of a yellowish-brown colour.\n\nThe dried flowers, in bundles of various sizes, are the only part of the plant sold by the native druggists. The fresh herb may frequently be seen on the herbalist's stall. The dried flowers weigh on an average four grains each.\n\nHABITAT. This species grows in waste places about villages on the island of Hong Kong, and exhibits a special liking for ground in close proximity to a ruined building. On Stone Cutter's Island, under the walls of the old prison, specimens may be seen growing to a height of about 5 feet. Common also on the neighbouring mainland and about the city of Canton (Loureiro, Reeves, Parker, &c.).\n\nAn unusually fine specimen was gathered by one of us in Macao this year. It had a corolla 7 inches long.\n\nIn Remarks on the Botany of S. Manchuria by Dr Morrison of Her B. Majesty's Consulate, D. alba is mentioned among other important plants of the N. O. Solanaceae. Writing under date June 6th, 1887, Dr Morrison states, that about Newchwang it is known as Tien ma hua and La pra huo, and that it is applied in the form of an ointment to ulcers and sores. He was unable to ascertain that it was used internally.\n\nCOMPOSITION. The plant contains an alkaloid possessing properties similar to atropine. It is usually designated daturine, but, as the identity of the active principle in both the Datura and Belladonna tribes is now completely established, it would be well if toxicologists, in their reports on analyses in cases of Datura poisoning, would refer to the basic mixture isolated from the contents of the stomach or bladder simply as atropine. In the absence of a part of the plant, in the material sent for analysis, that will enable the toxicologist to establish the origin of the alkaloid, it is impossible to say that it is a case of Datura poisoning. There may be collateral evidence that would justify the expert in giving an opinion on this point, but, as a chemist, he cannot go beyond the mere statement that atropine was detected.2 Herr Schmidt, writing on the nomenclature of the alkaloids of Atropa Belladonna and Datura Stramonium, states, should it be desired to differentiate between chemically identical atropine according to its origin, it would be simply to make a distinction between atropine from Atropa Belladonna and one from Datura Stramonium, but not between atropine and daturine.1\n\nThe detection of the active principle of Datura may be effected by following the process described under Gelsemium elegans.2 The final product need not however be tested by chemical reagents, because there is no test sufficiently delicate to enable the operator to detect the mydriatic alkaloids of the Solanaceous group, when in the minute quantity usually found in the material sent for examination in cases of poisoning. A neutral solution of the sulphate or hydrochloride of the base should be prepared, and a drop or two applied to the eye. If dilatation of the pupil occurs, a further quantity may be injected into a small animal, preferably a monkey, and the effect noted.\n\nDr Sydney Ringer has called attention to the fact that certain animals are almost insusceptible to the influence of some of the mydriatic alkaloids. In 1884, during the course of some experiments made in the Government Laboratory with an alkaloidal extract of the flowers of Datura alba, considerable difficulty was experienced in killing a small guinea-pig with hypodermic injections of the base. Herbivorous animals are said to be but little affected by atropine, but it acts as a powerful poison on flesh-eaters.\n\nMed. Plants, III., 192; Fl. Hongk., 245; Pharmacographia, 462; Mat. Med. of W. Ind., 618; Science Papers, 258 and 266; Pl. Journal, (3), XVI., 497 and 540.\n\n9. Datura Stramonium, Linn. THORN APPLE, STRAMONIUM. N. O. Solanaceae. According to David, this species grows around Pekin and at Yébol in Mongolia. We have not met with a specimen, but the botanical differences between it and Datura alba are not such as to render it at all probable that the Chinese distinguish the two.\n\nOur view, that both plants will be found in China under the same or closely allied names, derives support from the fact that in Tatarinow's catalogue (No. 177), D. Stramonium is given under #Fu ch'ieh êrh, a name which, as pointed out by Porter Smith, may either be a mistake or a popular exchange for Feng ch'ieh êrh, one of the synonyms of Wan t'e lo hua (Datura alba).\n\nPorter Smith, p. 84; Soub. et Dab. de Th., p. 190; Planta Davidiana, (1884), p. 221; Ann.

The symptoms were almost identical with those of the plague, and there is only too much reason to believe that this is the commencement of the disease in the hitherto uninfected eastern district. The agent of the Messageries Maritimes Company issued the following express on Wednesday: To order to avoid sanitary difficulties in further ports the steamer Oceanien, leaving at 2 p.m., will take neither passengers nor cargo.\n\n18th May: The continuation of the rain on Thursday was hailed with great satisfaction, and both plague and water famine, from which we have been suffering, will doubtless in a few days entirely disappear. There is some indication that the plague is already abating and that the conditions favourable to its development having been removed by the rain, the port will soon be declared free from the disease. The total number of deaths reported from noon on Wednesday to noon yesterday was 20, of which 2 occurred on the Hygeia, 9 in Kennedy town Hospital, and 9 in outside districts. There were only 10 new cases yesterday, 3 being admitted to the Hygeia, and 7 to the Kennedy town Hospital. 44 cases are at present under treatment,\n\nThe following circular has been issued by the Sanitary Board for the guidance of all concerned, and has been circulated among the police and sanitary officers:\n\nObservations to be made by officers conducting house to house visitation:\n\n1. See if the patient is feverish. \n2. Look for swellings (buboes) under the arms, on the groin, on the neck, above the elbow. \n3. Observe if the patient has an anxious expression and if he is walking with a tottering gait.\n\nThe rainfall registered to 10 a.m. on Wednesday, for the preceding twenty-four hours, was 0.26 inch, and for the twenty-four hours ending 10 a.m. on Thursday 2.23 inches. There were heavy showers later in the day.\n\nOur Saigon correspondent telegraphs that Hongkong has been declared an infected port and vessels arriving at Saigon are subjected to six days' quarantine.\n\nPRECAUTIONS AT MACAO.\n\nThe following order is published in the Macao Boletim Oficial:\n\nBubonic plague having appeared in epidemic form in the neighbouring ports of Canton and Hongkong and causing a considerable number of deaths amongst the Chinese population of those two cities;\n\nAt the Police Court on Tuesday there were several cases of failure to report the occurrence of the disease, and doubtless a few convictions and fines will make landlords more alive to the vital necessity of bringing the cases to the attention of the authorities without the slightest delay. Ning Kin and Lan Chuk, widows, the occupants respectively of Nos. 72 and 74, Market Street, were charged by Inspector Quincey before Mr. H. E. Wodehouse with neglecting to report the outbreak of plague in their houses. The Inspector stated that he visited the places and found men suffering from the disease, whom he had removed to the Hygeia. The symptoms were very pronounced at the time and there would be no difficulty in identifying the disease. His Worship fined the first defendant $2 or fourteen days' and discharged the second. Lai You Chang, a teacher, for a similar neglect in respect to a case at 10, Wai Tak Lane, was fined $5 or in default 14 days' imprisonment.\n\nThe fire engines on Tuesday were engaged in flushing the sewers and drains of the Taiping-shan district from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The water was pumped from the harbour by the floating engine up to the Hollywood Road level and from thence to the China Road. A good quantity of water was used. This operation will be continued to-day.\n\nDepartmental orders have also been issued calling upon the Chinese to keep their houses clean.\n\n19th May. It is regrettable to have to report that the plague has again increased and that both the numbers of deaths, admissions, and cases are larger than those of the previous day. It will be remembered that the returns on Thursday on the face of them showed a gratifying diminution of the disease, and the copious downfall of rain continuing it was confidently and naturally anticipated that this diminution would be even more pronounced yesterday. The official returns, however, up to noon on Friday show that in the twenty-four hours 25 deaths occurred, 7 were from noon on Thursday on board the Hygeia, 9 at Kennedy town Hospital, and 9 outside, as against a mortality of 21 on Thursday. The new cases were 29, viz, 12 on the Hygeia and 17 at Kennedy town, being an increase of 19. The total number of cases under treatment is 56 against 44 at the last report. This increase is not regarded by the authorities in a serious light, and no apprehensions are entertained that the disease is baffling the exertions made to stamp it out. In fact, the medical officers take a hopeful view and feel sure that the worst is now past. The increase is ascribed to the complete organisation which is operating for the detection of cases. On Friday twelve men from the Royal Engineers and twelve from the Shropshire Light Infantry were enrolled as special sanitary officers, which makes the staff numerically strong and adequate to the necessities of the work to be done. The house to house visitation is divided into sections, and it is almost impossible now that cases of plague can pass undiscovered.\n\nThe Manila authorities have prescribed 15 days' observation on all vessels arriving from this port.\n\nAt the Magistracy on Friday a hawker was charged with failing to report a case of plague which occurred in his house on the 17th inst. Defendant pleaded that he could not leave the premises, but Commander W. H. Hastings, before whom the case was heard, imposed a fine of $50 with an alternative of two months' hard labour.\n\n21st May,\n\nHaving received the advice of the Provincial Sanitary Board:\n\nI hereby order:\n\n1. That the supply of water to the public by boats stationed along the Praia Grande and in the inner harbour be continued with the greatest regularity.\n\n2. That the drains be flushed daily, especially in the districts occupied by the Chinese population, and more particularly the districts of Volong, San-kin, Sa-tong, Patane, Mong-ha, and the village of Barra.\n\n3. That the pavement of the slaughter house and its appendages be daily washed with salt water.\n\n4. That on the arrival of any vessel from Canton or Hongkong, including the steamers and launches of the regular lines, an officer of the Sanitary Board shall inspect the passengers, and especially the Chinese passengers, to ascertain if any of them are suffering from the bubonic plague or exhibit suspicious symptoms.\n\n5. That the commandant of the water police shall give the necessary directions in order that lorcha or other boats from Hongkong or Canton may not land any individual suspected to be suffering from the disease; and any case presenting its symptoms shall be detained on board until examined by an officer of the Sanitary Board, who shall be immediately informed.\n\n6. If any passenger be found to be suffering from bubonic plague, whether on board steamers or launches, such passenger shall not be landed; and if any case of the disease be found on a sailing vessel or boat propelled by oars the vessel shall be immediately to be immediately towed out of the harbour, and removed by a copious rainfall we may confidently anticipate the speedy disappearance of the evil result.\n\nGovernment Palace, Macao,\n\n15th May, 1894.\n\nThe Governor of the Province,\n\nJose M. da Horta e Costa.\n\nwork of soaching and disinfecting the localities\n\nfor development it was hoped that in a few days such an appreciable conquest of the disease would be achieved that no further danger need be anticipated. A certain section of the Chinese have now, however, attempted to frustrate all these efforts, and are determined to assert aggressively the ignorance and stupidity which peculiarly belong to the multitude of the natives. It will be remembered that one of the first acts of the permanent committee was to order the removal of all patients from the Tung Wah Hospital to the Hygeia, and the next wise edict was that no patients were to be sent there, but removed direct to the bulk. There was at the time much grumbling and opposition to this course, the patients themselves, with the instinct of their race, objecting, sometimes violently to their removal to the Hygeia and their treatment by Western skill and science. It appears that this feeling of resentment has been simmering and increasing during the past few days, and on Saturday it broke bounds and completely disorganised the work of cleansing, disinfecting, and investigating, which was in progress. Mr. Lau Wai Chuen, a member of the Sanitary Board and also Chairman of the Tung Wah Hospital Committee, has, with an intelligence which unfortunately does not belong to all his countrymen, lost the Government his hearty co-operation in the measures they have taken. Some of his colleagues on the Hospital Committee, however, imbued with anti-foreign feeling, have resisted this policy, and by their influence have created a strong opposition among the native population to the work which the authorities are prosecuting with such vigour.\n\nMay 24, 1894.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.\n\n198\n\n4.3\n\nAnother case occurred yesterday among the Portuguese community, the patient being taken to the Hygeia.\n\nSingapore has imposed nine days' quarantine, including the time occupied by the passage, rioting, the Government having met the Tung Wah Hospital Committee in their demand that there be no further danger of a renewal of the.\n\nMEETING AT THE TUNG WAH HOSPITAL\n\nA largely attended meeting of Chinese was held on Sunday at the Tung Wah Hospital, there being present about seventy members of the leading firms and some four hundred others. The Captain Superintendent of Police and the Colonial Surgeon attended the meeting.\n\nMr. Lau Wai Chuen occupied the chair. He said that many people had preferred a request that persons suffering from the plague should be allowed to be conveyed to Canton, if their relatives so desired, by special launches.\n\nThe Captain Superintendent of Police replied that he was instructed to state that information had that morning been received from Canton that the officials there would not allow persons suffering from the disease to be landed there. Mr. Lau Wai Chuen interpreted Mr. May's reply to the meeting, who received it with strong marks of dissatisfaction. Mr. Lau Wai Chuen, endeavoured to maintain order and said he would personally apply to the Government here and the officials at Canton in relation to the matter. He suggested that they should send a petition to Canton signed by all the leading firms of the colony.\n\nYesterday morning the sanitary officers reported a house supposed to be empty and made the horrible discovery that there were five corpses on the premises and four very serious cases, all exhibiting pronounced symptoms of the plague.\n\nYesterday morning one of the turnkeys in the Victoria Gaol reported himself sick and Dr. Marques, suspecting from the symptoms that the man was suffering from plague, sent him immediately to hospital. A prisoner in the gaol, who had been convicted for not reporting a case of plague, was also removed to the new Chinese Hospital for treatment.\n\nThe arrangements for the burial of victims of the plague do not appear to be quite satisfactory. A good deal of delay takes place before the bodies are interred, separate graves having to be dug in a rather rocky and refractory soil. The squatters on the land contiguous to this cemetery have petitioned the Government on the matter. Evidently a more suitable site ought to be selected.\n\nOn Saturday many of the houses visited were blockaded and the sanitary officers stoned, and in the afternoon all attempts to continue the house to house inspection had to be discontinued, the work being rendered exceedingly unsafe and difficult. A mob also collected at the Po Leung Kuk office and broke the windows, but was dispersed by the police before doing further damage. On Sunday, while a meeting at the Tung Wah Hospital was in progress, Mr. Lau was hurriedly sent for, news arriving that his hong was being wrecked. When Mr. Lau left the building he was surrounded by a howling mob of Chinese and had to be escorted by police to his residence. Mr. P. R. May, Captain Superintendent of Police, grasped the situation at once and sent a mounted contingent of armed Sikhs to the district, the presence of which fortunately prevented further disturbances.\n\nThe Government have so far met the Chinese opposition as to assent to the establishment of a temporary hospital under the management of the Tung Wah at the Glassworks, Kennedy town, to which all patients will be removed and where they will be treated by native practitioners, and the use of the Hygeia for the reception of plague patients will be discontinued.\n\nOn Sunday the house to house inspection was recommenced, the officers being protected by a strong police guard.\n\nSome cases have been reported on the mainland and proclamations have been issued prohibiting the immigration of Chinamen from Hongkong. At Haiphong several persons have fallen victims to the disease.\n\nThis suggestion was unanimously agreed to. The Captain Superintendent of Police said that rumours were current that people not suffering from the disease had been taken to the Hygeia and the Kennedy town Hospital, people who were not sick at all, but this could be at once disproved if any of those present would go with him to examine the patients, when it would be seen they were all sick people suffering from the plague. If those attacked were not segregated it would be impossible to prevent the spread of the disease, and he referred to the visitation of the plague in England two hundred years ago and the great mortality it caused. He suggested to the Chairman that he should advise the people that they should avoid overcrowding in their dwellings, and then the number of persons attacked by the disease would decrease.\n\nCONFERENCE AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE.\n\nAn important conference was held yesterday at Government House for the purpose of discussing the new turn events have taken and considering the course of action to be adopted in the immediate future. His Excellency Sir William Robinson presided, and there were also present H.E. Major-General Barker, Hon. J. H. Stewart Lockhart (Acting Colonial Secretary), Hon. N. G. Mitchell-Innes (Colonial Treasurer), Hon. Ho Kai, Dr. P. B. C. Ayres (Colonial Surgeon), Mr. F. H. May (Captain Superintendent of Police), Mr. J. J. R. Crook, Dr. James, Francis Q.C., Mr. J. A. M. S., Dr. Lan Wai Chuen. The meeting lasted for some time. The first business was the consideration of representations by the permanent committee of the Sanitary Board as to the inadequacy of the number of sanitary officers.\n\nApplication was made for the enrolling of 400 assistants for the work of cleansing and disinfecting.\n\nAt this stage of the proceedings a petition was presented from the residents in East Street complaining of the treatment they had received at the hands of the sanitary officers, entering their houses unexpectedly and frightening the children. The petitioners asked that attention should be given to this matter.\n\nAt this time news arrived that a mob was attacking Mr. Lau Wai Chuen's establishment in Bonham Strand, the Tung San Wo, and\n\nOn Sunday night everything was quiet and it was hoped there would be no renewal of the disturbances.\n\nThe decrease in the number of cases reported for the twenty-four hours up to noon on Sunday is, it is to be feared, due to interruption of the inspection rather than to any actual diminution of the disease.\n\nA notice was subsequently issued by the Committee of the Tung Wah Hospital stating that the Government has consented to allow all patients suffering from plague to be treated by the doctors of the Tung Wah Hospital. The notice also informs the people that they need not be alarmed by the visits of the sanitary officers, as any one found to be suffering from plague will now be removed to the Tung Wah's branch hospital instead of being taken to the Hygeia.\n\nAt the Police Court on Saturday there were some more cases of failure to report outbreaks of plague. Wong Chan, a married woman, was so charged. P.S. Moffat said that he visited the house of the defendant No. 64, First Street, at 11 a.m. on the 18th. In the first room visited he found a man lying dead, and another man (the husband of the defendant) was very ill in the same apartment. In another room in the Cookhouse he discovered a woman very ill lying under a bed, and in the cockloft a girl was seriously ill. All, both the dead and the living, had the symptoms of bubonic plague. Defendant pleaded that she was a very poor woman, and was fined $5, which she paid. Chan Chol, a shopkeeper at No. 6, Hung Lane, off Queen's Road West, was also charged with concealing a case. P.S. Smith said that he went into the premises and found a man suffering from plague. There were a number of persons present, who ran away on his arrival. A like fine was imposed.\n\nWe have heard of a somewhat curious case in connection with the plague. A few days ago a coolie was charged with cutting and wounding a companion and the hearing of the charge was remanded for a week by the sitting Magistrate, bail of $250 being allowed and procured. The following day the unlucky coolie was seized with the disease and died on board the Hygeia.\n\nThe Spanish Consul received the following official telegram despatch from Manila at 9:53 a.m. on Saturday: \"Hongkong has been declared an infected port, and vessels from thence are subject to fifteen days' quarantine.\"\n\nInformation has also been received that a proclamation will be issued to-day addressed to the Chinese explaining the objects of the preventative measures now being prosecuted and calling upon them to co-operate therein and assist the Government.\n\nMr. May stated at the meeting yesterday that he and his assistants had been welcomed and not obstructed in the different houses visited.\n\nThe following are the returns for the twenty-four hours to noon yesterday:\n\nHygeia, Kennedy town Hospital, City, Total, Decrease.\n\nAdmissions: 2, 3, 0, 5, \nDeaths: 3, 2, 0, 5, \nUnder treatment: 26, 20, 17, 63, 28\n\nThe Government, we understand, is fully prepared to support the permanent committee of the Sanitary Board to the utmost. There is a suspicion that jealousy between different sections of the Chinese is at the bottom of the recent disturbances and ill-feeling.\n\nTHE DISTURBANCES-POLICE COURT PROCEEDINGS.\n\nMr. H. E. Wodehouse was yesterday morning engaged at the Police Court in hearing several cases arising out of the disturbances in Chinatown reported in yesterday's issue.\n\nYesterday Yea Kay, a hawker, was charged with behaving in a disorderly manner in Po Yan Street.\n\nPage 403\n\n...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-263 - Acting Governor Barker Governor Sir Robinson - 1894 [5-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 356805, "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": "CO129-266 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [1-3]", "page_number": 336, "title": "CO129-266 - Governor Sir Robinson - 1895 [1-3]", "content_text": "## C.O. 4787\n\nYour Lordship's attention to my despatch W. 49 of the 19th instant on the general subject of the staff of the Post Office.\n\nI have the honour to be;\nMy Lord Marquess,\nYour Lordship's Most Obedient\nHumble Servant,\nWilliam Robingy\n\n> Copy No 74.\n> Enclosure 1.\n\n5103\n333\n**RES**\nlord 22 MAR SS,\n\nPostmaster General to Act.

BUCKLE (Clerk of Councils).\n\nThis being the Acting Governor's last appearance at the Council meeting, a number of ladies and gentlemen belonging to the outside public attended.\n\n## THE ACTING-GOVERNOR'S FAREWELL\n\nHis Excellency MAJOR GENERAL BLACK, before the commencement of the ordinary business, said: -- All business firms, whether large or small, take stock once a year, and call a momentary halt to see how they stand before girding up their loins for the work of the coming year. Governments, which are but large business firms working for the public weal, in the same way review each year their position, and not only put forward their balance sheet but indicate with modest satisfaction schemes which have run smoothly and well, and gloss over those which, however well laid, though they may have gone agley. I take, then, no unusual course in asking you to listen while I briefly touch upon some of the events which have made the ten months I have had the honour to hold the reins more eventful than many like periods of your past history.\n\nAlthough less severe than in 1894, the Plague has this year claimed 1,163 victims out of 1,320 stricken. Wisely abandoning the too stringent application of Western methods, the Government erected suitable hospital buildings at Kennedytown, placed them in charge of the Tungwa Hospital, and induced the Chinese to carry their sick to that benevolent institution. While deeply deploring the loss by this dread visitation, I am glad to congratulate the medical profession, and the other Government officials whose duty connected them with the suppression of the plague, for the strenuous and unselfish efforts with which they carried out their humane duties. Three of the sisters caught the infection at the post of duty, of whom two died, giving up their lives as nobly as men who die on the field amid the din and excitement of battle. (Applause.)\n\nThe outbreak of war between Spain and America --- two countries in friendly relations with England --- threw on this Government the onerous task of maintaining the laws of neutrality. A little island stored with good coal, and all the munitions of war in great abundance lying off a coast indented with harbours, is naturally a convenient spot where belligerents might replenish their stores of coal and food, and it is a source of satisfaction to this Government that, thanks to the energy and tact with which the officials carried out their duties, the laws of neutrality were strictly enforced, and yet the end of the war found us on as friendly terms with either belligerent as at the beginning. The changes that this war may bring may deeply affect this colony, but they still lie in the future and are not yet within our ken.\n\nA social incident not without its bearing on a great national movement was the arrival in Hongkong of a German Prince charged for the first time with high command in Eastern waters. The Prince of Prussia would have found a welcome for his own sake. Courteous, kind, and capable, yet every inch a Prince, he was welcomed by the whole community of Hongkong, and the English inhabitants did not forget in their welcome that he and his wife are grandchildren of our beloved Queen. (Applause.)\n\nHongkong has long felt the anomaly of its position, with the northern side of its magnificent harbour actually belonging to another power, its forts at the eastern entrance commanded at short rifle range by the Devil's Peak, and the end of its mine fields almost touching the Chinese soil, the Bay of Kowloon within the precincts of its harbour but outside its jurisdiction. In June last, a Convention was signed by which our boundary line is pushed some 13 miles to the north, thus sweeping away these anomalies, giving Hongkong room to expand, and more than all presenting the passing into other hands of the roads of Lantau, and the spacious harbour of Mirs Bay. (Applause.)\n\nMuch interest is naturally felt in Hongkong as to the position of the stations of the Maritime Customs. It seems to me only just and necessary that these should recede with the new boundary --- (Applause) --- for it would be an abdication of sovereignty if a foreign power were allowed to exercise control within British waters. At the same time, I recognise that it is right that we should aid the friendly Government of China in her task of protecting her revenue, made so difficult by the indented nature of the coast line, and to this end, I have suggested that opium should be stored in Government Godowns, and only issued on Government permit.\n\nIn legislation, much useful but unobtrusive work has been done. I may instance --- The Trade Marks Ordinance. The Liquor Licences Ordinance. The Bank Note Ordinance. The increased issue of Bank notes has, from causes well known to you all, been long demanded, and the enlarged circulation is proving a great boon.\n\nThe Queen's Recreation Ground Ordinance is the last in which I have taken a great interest, and I have some right to look upon it as a bantling of my own. The recurrence of the plague has forced on every thinking man the need of letting light and air into the blocks of Chinese houses, which, full of human beings in many cases, literally stand back to back in the City of Victoria, containing rooms into which the sun never enters, and where the fetid air has no motion. Doctors and physic, good though they be by themselves, are powerless to cure, while sun and air are a sure preventive; and great as the task may be of bringing these natural agents into this reeking mass of humanity, their admission must be secured by law. A bill is now before you which I admit does not go far enough, but it will at least be the beginning of a great reform.\n\nMany complaints have been made as to the shortcomings of the Post Office; a great deal of the confusion comes from retrenchment having been carried too far, and from the business having outgrown the building. I have submitted recommendations to the Secretary of State which will, I trust, produce great improvement in the department, in whose well-being every individual is concerned.\n\nNearly allied to the Queen's Recreation Ground is the reservation of the rocky bluff on which stands the boulders called Sung Wang Toi or the \"Watch Towers of the Sung\", which, as far as I can gather, is the only historical monument which links modern history with the old-world time. To make its reservation more certain, I applied to the Secretary of State for leave to bring in a bill to this end, and his permission is now on the sea. I regret that I will not have the pleasure of giving assent to it.\n\nA survey has been made of the Jubilee Road round the Island; it has been traced with gradients easy and offers, in the section between Aberdeen and Deep Water Bay, an important sanitary reform, for part of the scheme is to fill up and turf over the festering inlet to which the leading medical men of the colony point as the source of the malaria which has so long marred the health of Aberdeen and the neighbourhood of Magazine Gap.\n\nI have nothing but the good of the community at heart, and I emphatically state that if you believe medical testimony, it...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-286 - Acting Governor Major Gen Black Governor Sir Blake & Public Offices - 1898 [11-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 369438, "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": "CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "page_number": 26, "title": "CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898", "content_text": "## 32-\n\nDeep Water Bay. As usual they were left behind, would fire the trains and join very strong in artillery, here, however, his (Tanghorne's) men as they retreated. For once we had the advantage, our 40-pounders on the Tytam Road breastworks had taken their stations on the hills at midnight.\n\nThe enemy pressed to the and hill from Quarry Bay Gap to Poktolum assault with great vigour suffering heavily, was belching forth fire and smoke like so many angry volcanos, still the assault crept upwards, ever closer-nearer. Our vant-our position was practically impregnable. Ourloss by musketry fire from the hills above was comparatively trifling. Soon after 10, however, the enemy managed to get two 9-pounders up the hills, and then the situation changed. In half an hour we lost five and thirty men killed, two Maxims were disabled, and the walls were breached in several places. Our men had made some very pretty practice, and more than one French artilleryman had been knocked over at 900 and 1,000 yards on the crest of the hill. After Smith had signalled in answer to Tanghorne's orders that he had fired the mines, and he and the corporal had been seen to leave the forts, our people left the redoubt with the remaining Maxims in rear covering the retreat.\n\nThe forts blew up with tremendous explosions, breaking the chains and sinking some of the ships that had barred the pass. Smith and Brackenbury fired Shaukiwan as they came through to join Tanghorne, who also burnt Quarry Bay as he fought his way back, losing heavily. Tanghorne, with one Maxim, made his last stand at Tsatszemui Police Station, where they were finally all slain. Previous to this, however, he had sent Marshall and half-a-dozen men ahead to fire the Langkat oil depot at Whitfield.\n\nFurney had withdrawn his men East, and mined the galleries and arranged with Tanghorne that if the redoubt had to be evacuated, Sergt. Smith and Corporal Brackenbury, whom he had put in command, would fire the Magazine in a few minutes, after which they continued firing at the North Point Road whenever bodies of the enemy appeared, materially retarding the final storming of Tsatszemui Station.\n\n## 33 -\n\nIt becomes impossible to give any connected account of the battle or series of separate combats. Yardhill held his own bravely till he was killed shortly after noon—his position being by that time completely surrounded, every ridge and spur the enemy swarmed with, it must be admitted, the most reckless gallantry. The attack from below was successful, as it so often is when the assailants are prepared for an unlimited expenditure of life to attain their object, despair. There was no attempt made by the enemy to descend to the town, they realized that the stubborn foe on the heights had to be exterminated.\n\nThe enemy next crossed the line having been broken between Quarry Bay Gap and at Middle Gap. Up the hills in the saddle behind High West, and circled down in rear of Rordon's position—not, however, without heavy loss from the fire of Belcher's and Victoria Batteries. Soon every point of the hills was circled with fire, where our men were dying, fighting hopelessly but unflinchingly with the sullen ferocity of ... and we claimed the sacrifice to the uttermost tittle and fraction. General Morblon waxed very rueful afterwards when he saw the gaps in the European garrison of Indo China,--there were more gaps than garrison, and he had only gotten in exchange a mountain deluged with blood and a blazing town.\n\nThe attack crept up by more weight of numbers; where one of the enemy dropped, hydra-headed a score sprang up; where one of ours fell (some husband, father or brother who forty-eight hours before had been at a desk) there was none to fill the breach. What we lacked in numbers we made up in desperation and sullen fury.\n\nSome curious instances of the Berserk fury, or running amok as they call it in the Straits, occurred. Quiet, kindly men suddenly appeared to go mad, or were tired of waiting for death, jumped the parapets and dashed in amongst the men, roaring (possibly some old ancestor who had taken possession of them shouting his battle cry), escaping a heavy fire, and were not cut down till after doing great execution.\n\nThe men continued firing on any bodies of the enemy that were visible descending to the town. The coal and kerosine godowns at the eastern end of the town were blazing, as were also the Godowns at West Point. About 5 p.m. the men-of-war came through Lyeemoon, but were met off North Point by such a fire from the Stonecutters batteries that they were glad to retreat—the Descartes having to be beached in Shaukiwan to prevent her sinking in deep water. By sunset the blazing town was in the hands of the enemy, about 11 General White had been taken down mortally wounded and the supreme command had devolved on Yardhill. Although firing was still going on here and there on the hills, yet was the colony not...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-288 - Public Offices & Others - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 369921, "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": "CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898", "page_number": 4, "title": "CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898", "content_text": "## Indundial \n| Men hunnelt | Date | Subject |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| J.D.

The Chinese Government seem to be unable to cope with it, and the time is coming when this question must be taken up if our trade is not to be strangled. It is at present one of the most important factors in the future condition of the trade of this Colony with the West River.\n\nThe Public Works undertaken during the year have been extensive, and are expected to be of permanent value. The Praya Reclamation is still being proceeded with, and is adding to the beauty as well as to the value of the city of Victoria. It is hoped that before long it will be possible to commence the construction of the new General Post Office, which has for long been one of the most pressing needs of the Colony.\n\nRents, wages, and the price of food have for some time past been on a rapid increase. The wages of coolies are about seven or eight dollars a month, and of house-servants twelve to twenty, whereas in Canton the same class of servants can still be hired for six dollars and seven dollars respectively.\n\nThe climate of Hongkong for five months in the year is very good, though the temperature is rather subject to sudden fluctuations. The summer months are trying to Europeans owing to the damp heat.\n\nIt does not appear that there are very many available openings for white labour; and it would not be advisable to emigrate to this Colony without some definite prospect of employment.\n\nOpenings for the investment of capital, if we except trade investments, have perhaps hitherto been rather restricted; but in view of the development of the Kowloon Extension there will probably be openings for capital in the future.\n\nThe social condition of the Colony is fairly satisfactory. No complaint can be made of the attendance of the Chinese at the numerous schools which exist primarily for their benefit, and all the pupils seem anxious to acquire a good working knowledge of the English language.\n\nThe year 1898 was marked by the retirement of my predecessor, Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, G.C.M.G., who is to be congratulated on the amelioration in the general condition of the Colony during his administration of the Government. He left the Colony in February, 1898, and from that date until my arrival towards the close of the year the Government was administered by Major-General WINSLOE BLACK, who, in his capacity as General Officer Commanding the Forces, reached the limit of his term of office at the same time. He was succeeded in his military command by Major-General Gascoigne, C.M.G., who arrived in the Colony on Christmas Day. During a great part of the year, the Colonial Secretary, Mr. J. H. STEWART LOCKHART, C.M.G., was absent from his post and his place was taken, as Acting Colonial Secretary, by Mr. T. SERCOMBE SMITH. The only other change of importance in the public service of the Colony consisted in the resignation of Mr. H. E. WODEHOUSE, C.M.G., after a long and meritorious service in various offices in the Civil Service.\n\nI arrived in Hongkong on the 25th November and assumed the administration of the Government. I am informed on what I consider excellent authority that the commercial condition of the Colony was never more satisfactory. The value of property is steadily increasing, and of the companies quoted in the weekly Share Lists more than 80% of the shares are quoted above par. As to the ultimate results of the political events in the Far East during the year 1898 may be as regards the trade of this Colony I know too little at present to forecast, but I see no ground for apprehension that Hongkong will not continue to enjoy in the future the prosperity that the energy of her merchants has won for her in the present.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nYour most obedient, humble Servant,\n\nHenry Arthur Blake,\n\nGovernor.\n\nNo.\n\n2774\n\n899\n\nPrevious Paper.\n\n16\n\n31-193-2000-32-4S\n\nSubsequent Paper\n\nCoe\n\n2026\n\nHONG KONG\n\nN29823 2 9 8 2 3\n\n(Subject.)\n\nC.

The Asiatic Constables who had immediate charge of the prisoners are to blame for removing the prisoners on their own responsibility. F.C. 121 is to blame for allowing such irregularity.

The answers were all unsatisfactory.\n\n1. Inspector Smith, who appears to have been in some sort of charge - if, indeed, in the force, any body can be assumed to be in charge for any purpose - removed the prisoners from the Magistracy without taking the trouble to send to P.C. Godfrey for the key of the cells. Godfrey appears to have been engaged in some duty with a prisoner for half an hour outside the court, without apparently reporting the fact to anybody.\n\n2. The Inspector, Warnock, at the Police cells states that Inspector Smith after 1 P.M. came to him and said there were some prisoners to be detained during adjournment. Inspector Warnock, who is in charge of the cells, simply answers \"all right\" and does not take over the prisoners but allows Smith to remove the keys.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-319 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [10-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 390381, "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": "CO129-319 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [10-11]", "page_number": 656, "title": "CO129-319 - Governor Sir Blake - 1903 [10-11]", "content_text": "## \n649\n\nThe Constable who acts as Gaoler is absent, and on his return hands over six prisoners about whom he knows nothing to an I.P.C., a C.C., and a D.Co., without authority.

C.C.248 returned for his prisoner at 1.51 but the man had been already released (for apparently he was handed over to nobody in particular). All this the Acting Captain Superintendent of the Police considers as a case in which discipline is satisfied with a reprimand of B.P.C. McLean.\n\nThe incident reveals to me the chaotic state of the Police Force in which regulation is apparently replaced by a system of \"Go as you please\" and for this, not the Inspectors, nor Constables, but the Officer in charge of the force is responsible. A police force is what their Commanding Officer makes it, and I have of late had many complaints of the police force.\n\n4.

Confidential.) My Lord,\n\nI HAVE the honour to submit a Report on a journey performed last month in the northern part of this Sub-prefecture. A sketch map is attached, but it does not profess to do more than give a general idea of the country traversed.\n\nMy objects in making this journey were:—\n\n1. To get some further knowledge of the valleys and country to the north of this city. I came to the conclusion that the population and resources of those regions are very considerable, and justify proposals for developing communications with Burmah.\n\n2. To explore the water-divide between the N'maikha on the one hand and the Salwen and Shweli Rivers on the other. I find that this divide would make a convenient frontier.\n\nIt would assign all the Chinese villages to China and all the Kachins to Burmah. There are no villages for 5-6 miles on either side of the divide.\n\n3. To collect information as to the alleged claims of the Chinese to certain tracts in the N'maikha Basin. I find that these claims are rather more extensive than was at first supposed, but that they are very flimsy, and, with possibly one exception, not based on any administrative control or acts. They are claims, moreover, not of the Chinese Government, but of the families of certain Chinese Chiefs.\n\nInclosure 1 in No. 1.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed)\n\nG. LITTON.\n\nReport on a Journey in the North of the Teng Yueh Sub-prefecture, with special reference to the undelimited Burmah-China Frontier.\n\n(Confidential.)\n\nI. Description of Journey and Country.\n\nTHE stone-paved high road, which leads out of the north gate of Teng Yueh city up the valley passes through populous country, and is usually busy with traffic from the villages of the plain and of the Upper Shweli Valley. At 64 miles we ascend to the gloomy little valley of Hai Kou, surrounded by limestone peaks covered with pines, and watered by a small lake or tarn, whence the Teng Yueh tributary of the Taiping River takes its source. An easy ascent to a col 6,500 feet leads into the basin of the Shweli, or Lung Chiang. The traveller descends a picturesque gorge between forest-clad hills inhabited by barking deer and pheasants to the Hsiang Yang Chiao, where there is a suspension bridge over the west or Ming Kwang branch of the Shweli, a little to the north of its junction with the east or Ta Tang branch. Close by is the busy little market of Chu Chih.\n\nThe river here emerges from a gorge, and is 30 to 40 yards wide, much broken by rapids, and with some deep pools, which afford good mahseer fishing. As I had already visited the fertile and populous valley of Kai Tou, through which the Ta Tang River flows, and which is situated along the west flank of the great Salwen divide, I turned north from the bridge into the mountains on the left bank of the Ming Kwang branch, and soon reached a country of upland downs (at an average elevation of 7,000 feet), which is characteristic of the northern part of Teng Yueh Sub-prefecture. Grassy slopes, diversified with clumps of pine trees or patches of heavy forest, afford abundant pasture for considerable flocks of sheep and herds of ponies and cattle. I was astonished to find such a large head of animals throughout the country, and the numbers would no doubt be largely increased if there was good ...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-326 - Foreign Office - 1904.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.

MEISCHKE-SMITH, a civil engineer in the employ of the Asiatic Petroleum Company of London, has recently paid a visit to Ichang in connection with a scheme for the establishment of steam navigation on the Upper Yang-tsze. Mr. Smith, who two years ago made an exhaustive survey of the Yang-tsze Rapids, and who has considerable experience of inland water navigation in other parts of the world, notably on the French Rhône, has his Company's permission to represent the interests of a French Syndicate, called \"La Société Française de Setchouan,” who are concessionnaires of coal and other mines in that province. This Company is now apparently in liquidation—at any rate, it is taking no steps to develop its Concessions. The interested parties, who include the French Rothschilds, now propose to form a new Company, to be called \"Société Anonyme de Navigation du Haut Yang-Tsé,\" and the promoters have given Mr. Smith full powers to enter into preliminary negotiations with the Chinese authorities. No Concession will be asked for, but the operations of the Company, for the present at any rate, will be limited to the placing of steamers on the Upper River and the erection of hauling appliances through the rapids in the terms of Article V of the British Commercial Treaty. Mr. Smith thinks he will have no difficulty in obtaining the approval of the Imperial Maritime Customs and the issue of satisfactory regulations, as Sir Robert Hart has verbally assured him of his interest in the scheme and promised his support.\n\nThe proposals reported in my despatches Nos. 16 and 18 of the 19th and 29th November, 1905, for improvements on the Upper Yang-tsze to be undertaken by the Chinese authorities themselves are apparently in abeyance, and likely to remain so, as the Japanese Government, through their Consul at Shashih, have objected to ...\n\n[2081 q-1]", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 407300, "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": "CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906", "page_number": 596, "title": "CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906", "content_text": "2\n\nthe proposed erection of hauling appliances as prejudicing their Treaty right to undertake such works themselves. I learn on good authority that the Japanese are actually working on a scheme of steam navigation on the Upper Yang-tsze on similar lines to the one now under consideration by the French,\n\nMr. Meischke-Smith's system is briefly as follows:—\n\nPowerful light draft tugs, steaming 14 knots, will tow steel barges of about 150 tons capacity, or native junks, between Ichang and Chungking. At each rapid the tug-boat and her lighter will be taken in tow by a rapid-boat of the Lombard-Gérin type as used on the River Rhône. One of these boats, named \"toueurs,\" will be stationed at all the principal rapids. Their method of traction is similar to that of the spider, and consists in warping themselves up the rapid by means of a cable attached to a point at the head of the rapid, and letting themselves down by unwinding the cable. Going up vessels are towed astern; going down they are lashed alongside. The tow ropes, being attached to the bow of the \"toucur,\" give her liberty to steer, and thus enable her to keep in mid-stream and avoid the dangers attending a tow line worked from the bank. It is hoped that this system will not necessitate the erection of any hauling appliances on shore, and consequently interfere as little as possible with the junk traffic.\n\nThe French naval authorities have placed Captain Plant, their Upper Yang-tsze pilot, at the disposal of the Company. Captain Plant, who has for the past five years successfully navigated the rapids on trading-steamer, gun-boat, and junk, and who is therefore well qualified to judge of the possibilities of steam navigation on these waters, has, in a written Report, expressed his opinion that the proposed system is quite feasible. He will probably proceed to Europe as soon as he has taken the French gun-boat \"Olry,\" now in port, up to Chungking for the purpose of studying the Lombard-Gérin \"touage du Rhône,\" which has now been for over ten years in successful operation on that river. On his return he will be placed in charge of the Company's steamers. These vessels will fly the French flag, but Mr. Smith informs me that at least 75 per cent of the Company's personnel, captains, agents, &c., will be British. The \"toueurs\" will be built in France, the steam-tugs and barges in England and Shanghae. It is estimated that when the system is in proper working order a steamer and one or two tows will make the journey from Ichang to Chungking in ten days, travelling down in five days, say, twelve round trips per annum, as compared with the two round trips made at present by the ordinary cargo junk.\n\nThe scheme, if it proves a success, will mean a complete revolution in the Upper Yang-tsze trade. To the objection—which will probably be urged by the Chinese authorities that artificial haulage over the rapids will throw some thousands of trackers out of employment, the Company reply that, speaking generally, increased facilities for trade will provide increased employment for the population of the Upper Yang-tsze, and that, in particular, the development of the coal-mining industry in Szechuan, at present paralyzed by inadequate means of transport, will provide more than sufficient work for the unskilled labour of the province.\n\nThe towing system, if extended to the Middle Yang-tsze, as is in contemplation, will undoubtedly prove a serious competitor to the British and other Steam-ship Companies at present engaged in the trade. But, quite apart from the fact that the energies of the new Company, even should the sanguine projects of its agent be realized, will be fully occupied for some time to come in developing their business on the Upper River, I do not think that the British shipping Companies are likely to suffer any loss. In increased cargo they should find compensation for reduced rates of freight, and there seems no reason why the British and French shipping interests on the Upper Yang-tsze should not successfully combine against their powerful rivals the Japanese. The Asiatic Petroleum Company, in which British capital is largely interested, have very strong reasons for wishing the scheme well and according it their financial support, as I understand they are doing. Since their unsuccessful attempt a few years ago to compete with the Standard Oil Company in Szechuan, American oil has enjoyed an undisturbed monopoly in that important market. With steam towage in working order, the former Company will be able to send up their oil in bulk, pack it in new tins and cases at Chungking, and probably drive the American product out of the market. I understand that arrangements are now being made to send up regular shipments by junk in order to make the brand known.\n\nMr. Smith is now on his way to Canton, whence he will proceed up the West River to inspect the Company's oil tank installations at Samshui and Wuchow. If the Regulations to be issued by the Imperial Maritime Customs for the new service prove to be satisfactory, he will notify the Chinese Government, through the French\n\n3\n\nMinister, of the Syndicate's intentions, and then, if all goes well, he hopes to have the first steamer running on the river before the summer of next year.\n\nI am forwarding this despatch under flying seal to His Majesty's Consul-General at Hankow, and am sending a copy to His Majesty's Consuls at Chungking and Chengtu.\n\nI have, &c. (Signed) HARRY H. FOX.\n\nThe real obstacle to steam navigation on the Upper Yang-tsze has been the impossibility of insuring paying cargoes. Piece-goods and yarn are too bulky to bear high freight, and the Szechuan dealers have not cared about their being quickly forwarded. From the west opium and silk, musk, and other valuables come down very speedily in small parcels by \"wupan,\" a system that distributes the risk of loss. Other difficulties have been the questions of coal and repairs en route. The present scheme does not seem sure to get over the above objections.\n\nOn the Ichang run towing would, I presume, have been tried had it been likely to prove advantageous, and there is no reason why the French Company should monopolize it now or should refuse to take any cargo but that brought up in French bottoms on either section of the river.\n\nE. H. FRASER.\n\nHankow, April 12, 1906\n\n(Signed)\n\nInclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\nConsul Fox to Mr. Carnegie.\n\n(No. 11.) Sir,\n\nIchang, May 18, 1906. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge receipt of Sir Ernest Satow's despatch No. 3 of the 23rd ultimo on the subject of steam navigation on the Upper Yang-tsze. I should have replied before this, but have been waiting to see the newly appointed Ichang Taotai, Sun Ting-lin, formerly Opium Taotai at this port, and learn from him the exact state of affairs with regard to the proposed upkeep of tracking paths and erection of hauling appliances at the rapids. Sun Taotai, who took over charge at Kingchow on the 26th ultimo, was expected to visit Ichang on or about the 1st May. He has, however, been obliged to proceed to Wuchang on business connected with the proposed transfer of the opium li-kin collectorate from Ichang to Chungking, and has not yet returned to his post.\n\nMy authorities for the statement that the Japanese Government had objected to the erection of hauling appliances on the rapids by the Chinese authorities were the Commissioner of Customs here and the Deputy Chang Te-ping. According to information confidentially obtained by Mr. Wolf, and subsequently corroborated by the Deputy, the proposed levy of junk fees for the above purpose had been referred by the Japanese Consul at Shasi to his Legation, and by them to the Foreign Office in Tokio. The latter had refused their consent to the scheme, and, although the ground of their objection had not transpired, it seemed more than likely that the Japanese Government did not wish to commit themselves to a proposal which might interfere with Japanese enterprise in the same direction. My statement that the Japanese were actually working on some scheme of the kind was made on the authority of the Commissioner of Customs, who based his opinion on the fact that a party of Japanese engineers had recently been making surveys of the rapids between Ichang and Wanhsien.\n\nAs far as I can learn no progress at all has been made with the Chinese scheme for providing aids to navigation on the upper river. The Road Improvement Office has not yet been opened, and no attempt has so far been made to levy junk fees. The Viceroy, as you will gather from a despatch, copy and translation of which I have the honour to inclose, is opposed to the collection of these fees being placed in the hands of the Maritime Customs on the ground that, being of the nature of voluntary contributions for a charitable purpose, they should not be looked upon as duties. The distinction would appear to be, in the present case, a purely nominal one, and I trust I shall be correctly interpreting the instructions conveyed in Sir Ernest Satow's despatch No. 2 of the 20th December last if I inform the Taotai\n\nPage 587", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-337 - Public Offices & Foreign Office - 1906.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 408496, "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": "CO129-339 - Acting Governor May Governor Nathan - 1907 [1-3]", "page_number": 198, "title": "CO129-339 - Acting Governor May Governor Nathan - 1907 [1-3]", "content_text": "Ear H.

Besides the revenue from licences, which is used to defray running expenses of the kuan-kao chi, pork is taxed 1 or 2 cash extra per catty. In Jung-ch'ang an Lung-ch'ang coal is taxed 1 cash per catty. In several places tea shops are taxed 10 cash per table per day. Some places (in fact I should say a-half) do not have any tax added to rice or other eatables, though others are reported to be taxed. I understand that in Nei-chiang, the great sugar district, sugar is further taxed.\n\n\"I do not think that the former tax of 1,000 cash per den per month is fully made up even by these amounts, and it seems that the police system, which depended largely on this revenue, is in a rather weakened condition. I do not know of any tax being put upon the wealthy people or on business houses in general, where the burden should come.\n\nThe poor are greatly burdened, and disproportionately, of course, to the wealthy. I might add that the additional taxes, together with the census taking, have aroused some feeling in the north-east of Lung-ch'ang county, and also west of Tzechow. There are threats to abolish the li-kin office and the church.\"\n\nBefore noting the steps that have been taken to carry into effect the prohibition of poppy culture, a table may be given of the amounts, in \"liang\" (Chinese ounces), of prepared opium issued by the kuan-kao tsung-chü at Chengtu since the last report:\n\nHsuan-t'ung, 1st year-\n\n \n 5th moon\n 12,851\n \n \n 6th moon\n 15,922\n \n \n 7th moon\n 17,381\n \n \n 8th moon\n 18,780\n \n \n 9th moon\n 26,115\n \n \n 10th moon\n 37,907\n \n \n 11th moon\n 15,294\n \n \n 12th moon\n 14,415\n \n\nThe remarkable expansion in the 9th and 10th moons was due first to the triennial examinations for licentiates, next to the session of the deliberative assembly (provincial Parliament), and lastly to the shareholders meeting of the Chuan-Han Railway; three events which temporarily added largely to the population of the city.\n\nThe Enactments in Practice.\n\nMr. Langford Smith, who had been acting here pending my arrival, was good enough to draw up a series of questions which his experience suggested might be put to the missionaries who assisted my predecessors in preparing the fourteen reports that have, from first to last, issued from this consulate-general. I enclose a copy of the consequent circular, and will proceed to give a précis of the replies I have received.\n\nI preface it with a few notes extracted from the local Chinese newspapers by Mr. Toller.\n\nOn the 25th September the Governor-General directed the financial commissioner to select \"wei-yuan (special officers) to see whether opium is being sown.\n\nOn the 18th December other \"wei-yuan\" were sent by his Excellency in all directions.\n\nOn the 27th October poppy having been sown at Shih-pan Tan (some 16 miles north of Chengtu), the Huayang magistrate (one of the two Chengtu magistrates) personally saw it rooted up, and confiscated the land. He also issued a proclamation ordering any other poppy-fields to be cleared within five days, under penalty of confiscation.\n\nOn the 22nd November the same magistrate destroyed a poppy crop at Ta-mien P'u, bringing the culprits into Chengtu for punishment.\n\nOn the 26th November the poppy was found to have been sown at Lung-tang Ssu (some 6 miles north of this), but the headman persuaded the farmers to replace it with another crop.\n\nNovember 28-Opium shops forcibly closed in Chien-wei Hsien (Chiating prefecture). Cultivation prevented at Peng-ch'i Hsien (Tung-ch'uan prefecture).\n\nDecember 22.-Poppy said to be still grown in Ying-shan Hsien, and the drug to be still smoked at the licensed retailers (\"pi-fa tien\"). An opium inspector sent by the Governor-General has seized and destroyed a large quantity of raw opium and opium-pipes at Lung-ch'ang Hsien.\n\nDecember 27-A number of opium dens were discovered at Ping-shan Hsien, Tzu Chou, Tzu-yang Hsien, and Chien Chou; orders have been sent to suppress them.\n\n5\n\nAt Chien Chou the magistrate claims to have abolished altogether the cultivation, sale and consumption of opium. The Chengtu prefect has personally seized some opium-dens.\n\nDecember 28.-The local official at Shuang-liu Hsien has called a meeting of the local gentry, and collected funds for the establishment of an opium refuge in the town. All addicted to the drug are to be compelled to enter the refuge and undergo treatment.\n\nJanuary 3.-Dens are being clandestinely opened in Hochiang; peremptory orders have been sent to close them.\n\nFebruary 23.-The local official at Chien Chou has subscribed 300,000 cash (nearly 300 dollars, or 25l.) of his private money, and purchased with it a quantity of anti-opium medicines for free distribution. Great numbers of people have already broken off the habit.\n\nReports from Missionaries.\n\nUnless a date is mentioned, these reports are to be taken as describing the condition of things in the month of January 1910. Reports from missionaries in the Ch'uan-tung circuit-Eastern Szechuan-will be dealt with by His Majesty's acting consul at Chungking.\n\n1. Interdiction of the Poppy.\n\nNing-yuan, November 6.-Opium is growing freely through the great district of Yen-yuan Hsien, but not planted openly along the main roads of official travel. (This is confirmed by a later report, the 4th January.)\n\nKuang-yuan and Chaohua-Practically none; in both, the officials made personal inspection, and the little that was found was pulled up and the owners were punished.\n\nFushun.-Proclamation posted; no opium grown since 1907, thanks to the energy of the magistrate.\n\nPaoning-In one or two out-of-the-way places planting has been ventured, but the areas were small.\n\nChiating-Opium growing stopped entirely; in one case a farmer tried, but was fined 30,000 cash.\n\nTu Chou-In the districts under notice (Lu Chou, Chiang-an Hsien, Na-ch'i Hsien, Ho-chiang Hsien, Yun-ning Chou, Ku-ling) the order forbidding the sowing of opium has, as far as I can ascertain, been entirely carried out.\n\nTeh-yang, Mien-chu, Shih-fang, Han Chou, Chin-tang.-None planted this year in any of these.\n\nSui Fu.-Strictly carried out.\n\nPa Chou. In some remote places, e.g., Tsen-tzu Pa, in Nankiang Hsien, the poppy is still being secretly grown.\n\nJung Hsien. No opium planted this year.\n\nChung-Chiang Hsien. The order, in so far as I can learn, is being strictly enforced; some few who ventured to disobey were punished and the crop destroyed.\n\nSintu-In Shih-fang Hsien, Chin-tang Hsien, Sintu Hsien, and Hau Chou, I am positively assured that no opium is grown; in fact, the farmers dare not grow it. All informers are rewarded by half the property under opium cultivation, whilst the Government takes the other half. I am assured that this is not only the law, but that the law has been carried out; so that in spite of the great temptation the farmers dare not cultivate.\n\nSOWU.\n\nSan-t'ai Hsien, She-hung Hsien, Yenting Hsien.--Probably none sown.\n\nMien Chou-No opium planted this year.\n\nNgan Hsien.-I see no signs of poppy cultivation anywhere (4th March).\n\n2. Attitude of Farmers.\n\nKuang-yuan and Chaohua-Farmers are making the best of it, and sowing other crop; there are no public manifestations of discontent. Fushun.-No complaints are heard this year. Paoning-Seem quite satisfied.\n\nChiating. Make the best of it without complaint.\n\n[2719 66-3]\n\n-3]\n\nC\n\n57", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 429215, "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": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "page_number": 556, "title": "CO129-372 - Public Offices - 1910", "content_text": "DRAFT.\n\nHong Kong\n\n2 Sep '10\n\nMINUTE.\n\nMr. Smith 27/5/60\n\nMernaghter 29\n\nMr. Fiddes.\n\nMr. Just.\n\nX Mr. Cox.\n\nX\n\n29 Sir C.

Pescic, Merchant of this Colony, we have the honour to address you under the following circum-stances: -\n\n1.\n\nOur client desires that your Government will grant him a concession to build a Railway between the City of Victoria and Aberdeen for the purpose of opening a new building area on the South side of the Island of Hongkong. Our client has already had the honour of interviewing H.E. the Governor about his scheme and if, on further consideration of its possibilities, our client's scheme meets with the approval of H. E. the Governor, he would desire to introduce a bill in the Legislative Council to sanction the undertaking herein described.\n\n2.\n\nOur client proposes that the railway should start from Wyndham Street at the back of the Dairy Farm and should enter a tunnel below the late Mr. Belilios house in Kennedy Road in the nullah to the west of that building. This tunnel would terminate above the Pokfulum reservoir, and the railway line at the junction with the Pokfulum Road would branch off Westward to Hoi Chi Wan and Eastward to Aberdeen. It is proposed that the Railway line should be a single track one with sufficient sidings. It is also proposed that the rolling stock should be composed of electrically self-propelled carriages.\n\n3.\n\nIn considering the possibilities of opening up a new building area, it is a matter of first importance that such area should present sufficient advantages to command attention, and also advantages not obtainable elsewhere. Our client, in selecting for this purpose the land at present lying partly waste between Pokfulum and Aberdeen East and Pokfulum and Hoi Chi wan west, considers that amongst other advantages this area of land possesses the most important factor of being in the Island of Hongkong, so that those who take up their residence hereafter upon it, will be enabled to travel to and from Victoria and its business portion, in a very few minutes.\n\nOur client's engineer has advised him that the portion of the railway line to be laid down between the terminal station in the City of Victoria and ending at Douglas Castle through tunnelling the Peak above described, will not exceed two miles - a distance easily covered in from four to five minutes.\n\nIn connection with the Railway our client would at first propose to build houses for the occupation of Europeans on either side of the line, and our client would desire that a free grant of land, where available, should be made to him by Your Government from Crown Lands not already privately owned, which he suggests should roughly be 500 feet in depth, and thereon he proposes to build 135 to 150 houses all of approved and uniform pattern and all standing amongst gardens. Our client would also require permission to use where necessary, the existing roads, and he would undertake to widen some if necessary at his own expense, and would assume the maintenance of any roads so used whereon any railway is laid as lies between the rails and eighteen inches beyond the rails on each side of such rails.\n\nThe site chosen by our client situated between Hoi Chi Wan west and Aberdeen East, and which would be tapped by the Railway commands one of the finest positions in the Island.

What the Committee & Sabruan told them was in some respect statements which had been made to them as to the certainty of his temper they felt some hesitation in putting his name forward. After discussion they decided to recommend that his name be placed before the Secretary of State together with that of Mr. Severn, who appeared to them to be nearly, if not quite, as good a candidate as Mr. Maxwell, and of whose personal suitability there can be no doubt.\n\nParticulars regarding both of these gentlemen are annexed.

Bowes | Principal Asst. Col. Secretary, Ceylon |\n| Major St. J. Bryan | Col. Secretary, Gold Coast |\n| Mr. G.B. Staddon Smith | Col. Secretary, Sierra Leone |\n| Mr. T.C. Fuller | Col.

Mr. Stubbs heard privately from another source yesterday that Mr. Maxwell is a man of hot temper and that he is apt to put up the backs of other people.

It is advisable to prohibit the sale of these drugs except to persons authorised to purchase the same by licence or otherwise.\n\n(4.) The Customs shall be empowered to detain imported consignments, except in transit, of the above drugs, until satisfied that the consignee is a licensed manufacturer or dealer, or a person duly authorised to receive the drugs.\n\n(5.) Exportation to foreign countries, whether adhering to the convention or not, and to other portions of the British Empire to be permitted only upon production to the Customs authorities of a certificate from the country of destination that the consignee is authorised to import the drugs either in accordance with the stipulations of the convention or with local laws or regulations which, in the opinion of the Customs authorities, are equally stringent.\n\n44. The chief opposition in respect of action on these lines was to be expected from the German delegation, since Germany has a practical monopoly of cocaine production; and the German delegates, holding that they had a satisfactory system of domestic control, were reluctant to embark on further measures that might, as they put it, simply sacrifice a lucrative German industry for the benefit of outside countries not represented at the conference. They observed, too, that the convention as a whole would have to be ratified by the Reichstag, and that measures in restriction of trade were likely to provoke considerable opposition. They held that foreign countries should look after themselves by tightening their customs and police control, or otherwise.\n\n45. It was essential, we held, to endeavour to carry the German delegates with us, for if Germany were out-voted on any important point, she might very likely decline to accept the convention stipulations, and her example might render adhesion of outside Powers problematic. Accordingly, before we introduced any resolutions on the subject into the full conference, we held private meetings with our German colleagues, endeavouring, as far as possible, to meet their views and answer their arguments, and pointing out in particular the impossibility—having regard to the facilities and lucrative character of the contraband trade—of a country like India or China trusting to internal prohibition alone. It was essential, we urged, that producing countries should also co-operate to make the pernicious contraband traffic which had sprung up as difficult as possible.\n\n46. Our German colleagues met us in a friendly spirit, and we arrived at a substantial agreement on the following lines:\n\n(1.) The first of the conditions quoted above was accepted; but it was not thought necessary to make any special reference to penalties for action without licence, such penalties being a matter for domestic legislation.\n\n(2.) The second condition was also accepted as regards record of all transactions by licensed persons; but with a stipulation desired by the Germans, that this condition need not be applied to medical prescriptions or to sales by duly licensed pharmacists. It was also held unnecessary to state specifically that the register to be kept should be open to inspection by Government officers, that being a matter for each individual country to determine.\n\nIt must of course be borne in mind that the action proposed by the conference could only represent the minimum to which all the participating Powers were ready to agree, and that there is nothing to prevent any individual Power from taking more drastic action on its own account.\n\n(3.) The third condition, as to prohibiting the sale of the drugs save to authorised persons, was accepted.\n\n(4.) In regard to the fourth condition, the Germans were emphatically opposed to anything which would impose specific obligations on their Customs Department, pointing out that the circumstances of their country, with its extended frontiers and enormous railway systems, would render such action oppressive. It was agreed, however, that each Government should take steps, in accordance with its commercial conditions, to prevent the importation of morphine and cocaine save when consigned to persons authorised to receive the drugs.\n\n(5.) With reference to condition 5, the Germans held, as indicated in our despatch No. 7 of the 10th January, that, apart from the question whether the action substituted would not conflict with the most-favoured-nation clause of commercial treaties, this condition was objectionable, on the ground that the conference contained the representatives of twelve Powers only, and that it was at present quite unknown how far outside Powers would adhere to its proposals. It would be impossible for such a limited number of Powers to set up as regulators of traffic to the rest of the world, or for a\n\nPage 11\n\n276\n\ncountry within the convention to claim to judge the character of the internal regulations of one outside it. As we pointed out in the despatch above quoted, the matter was one which would be more appropriately dealt with in connection with the \"adhesion articles of the convention, and this point of view was accepted in your despatch No. 17 of the 13th January.\n\nThe Germans agreed, however, that the participating Governments should undertake to prohibit the export of morphine and cocaine to the territories of other participating Governments, unless the consignee was licensed to receive the drugs under the laws of the importing country; and that, to give practical effect to this, each receiving country which desired to avail itself of this provision should furnish information to the Governments of exporting countries as to the persons licensed by it.\n\n47. Having obtained agreement on these important points, we introduced a series of resolutions at the seventh, eighth, and ninth conference sessions. These resolutions were prefaced by a speech by Sir Cecil Clementi Smith (seventh session), in which he pointed out that the proposals put were in effect a carrying out of the policy indicated in regard to morphine and other derivatives of opium in No. 5 of the resolutions of the Shanghai Commission. The British Government regarded this matter as so important that they decided not to take part in the conference unless the other Powers also accepted its special urgency. Great Britain had already taken energetic steps to aid China in the gigantic task which she had undertaken in the matter of opium suppression, but such action would be of no avail if it merely led to the use of still more pernicious drugs. It was therefore necessary to adopt the most drastic measures possible in order to stamp out this serious vice, which was doing so much harm to the populations of the Far East, and also, he believed, to the United States.\n\nSir Cecil's speech was vigorously supported by Dr. Wu Lien-Teh, of the Chinese delegation, who gave a vivid picture of the harm done by morphine and cocaine in China, and later on Sir William Collins (eighth session), emphasised the divergences between the small quantities of opium and morphine required for bona fide medical purposes and the relatively large amounts produced.\n\nAt the ninth session again, Mr. Max Müller, speaking with special reference to the subject of restrictions on exportation, laid stress on the necessity for obtaining international co-operation, and pointed out how desirable it was that there should be a unanimous agreement on this point, with which object the British delegation had been willing to drop certain proposals which had appeared to it to be desirable, but to which it could not expect to secure general assent.\n\n48. The British proposals, with some amendments which were usually of a purely verbal character, were carried unanimously, and they formed the basis of articles 9-18 of the original draft of the convention, as reproduced below:\n\nCHAPITRE III—Opium médicinal, Morphine, Cocaïne, &c. Définitions.—Par \"opium médicinal\" on entend:\n\nL'opium brut qui a été chauffé à 60 degrés centigrades, en poudre ou granulé, mélangé, s'il est nécessaire, avec des matières neutres et ne contenant pas moins de 10 pour cent de morphine.\n\nPar \"morphine\" on entend:\n\nLe principal alcaloïde de l'opium, ayant la formule chimique C17H19NO3.\n\nPar \"cocaïne\" on entend:\n\nLe principal alcaloïde des feuilles de l'Erythroxylon coca, ayant la formule C17H21NO4.\n\nPar \"héroïne\" on entend:\n\nLa diacetyl-morphine, ayant la formule C21H23NO5.\n\nPar \"codéïne\" on entend:\n\nUn autre alcaloïde de l'opium, la méthyl-morphine, ayant la formule C18H21NO3.\n\nARTICLE 9.\n\nLes Puissances contractantes édicteront des lois ou des règlements sur la pharmacie de façon à limiter la fabrication, la vente et l'emploi de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de\n\nPage 21", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-395 - Public Offices - 1912.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 440932, "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": "CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912", "page_number": 268, "title": "CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912", "content_text": "## 38.

It was therefore necessary to adopt the most drastic measures possible in order to stamp out this serious vice, which was doing so much harm to the populations of the Far East, and also, he believed, to the United States.\n\nSir Cecil's speech was vigorously supported by Dr. Wu Lien-Teh, of the Chinese delegation, who gave a vivid picture of the harm done by morphine and cocaine in China, and later on Sir William Collins (eighth session), emphasised the divergences between the small quantities of opium and morphine required for bona fide medical purposes and the relatively large amounts produced.\n\nAt the ninth session again, Mr. Max Müller, speaking with special reference to the subject of restrictions on exportation, laid stress on the necessity for obtaining international co-operation, and pointed out how desirable it was that there should be a unanimous agreement on this point, with which object the British delegation had been willing to drop certain proposals which had appeared to it to be desirable, but to which it could not expect to secure general assent.\n\n## 39. The British proposals, with some amendments which were usually of a purely verbal character, were carried unanimously, and they formed the basis of articles 9-18 of the original draft of the convention, as reproduced below :-\n\n### CHAPITRE III - Opium médicinal, Morphine, Cocaïne, &c.\n\n#### Définitions\n- Par \"opium médicinal\" on entend: L'opium brut qui a été chauffé à 60 degrés centigrades, en poudre ou granulé, mélangé, s'il est nécessaire, avec des matières neutres et ne contenant pas moins de 10 pour cent de morphine.\n- Par \"morphine\" on entend: Le principal alcaloide de l'opium, ayant la formule chimique C17H19NO3.\n- Par \"cocaïne\" on entend: Le principal alcaloïde des feuilles de l'Erythroxylon coca, ayant la formule C17H21NO4.\n- Par \"héroïne\" on entend: La diacetyl-morphine, ayant la formule C21H23NO5.\n- Par \"codéïne\" on entend: Un autre alcaloide de l'opium, la méthyl-morphine, ayant la formule C18H21NO3.\n\n| Article | Text |\n|---------|------|\n| **ARTICLE 9** | Les Puissances contractantes édicteront des lois ou des règlements sur la pharmacie de façon à limiter la fabrication, la vente et l'emploi de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs aux seuls usages médicaux et légitimes, à moins que des lois existantes n'aient déjà réglé la matière. Elles coopéreront avec les autres Gouvernements afin d'empêcher leur usage pour tout autre objet. |\n| **ARTICLE 10** | Les Puissances contractantes limiteront, par des lois, aux seuls établissements et locaux qui auront été désignés à cet effet, la fabrication de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs. |\n| **ARTICLE 11** | Les Puissances contractantes exigeront que tous ceux qui fabriquent, importent, vendent, distribuent et exportent la morphine, la cocaïne et leurs sels respectifs, soient munis d'un permis pour se livrer à ces opérations. |\n| **ARTICLE 12** | Les Puissances contractantes exigeront des fabricants et commerçants munis de ces permis la consignation sur leurs livres de toutes transactions concernant la fabrication, l'importation, la vente, la distribution et l'exportation de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs.

Cependant tout Gouvernement désirant profiter des stipulations de cet article devra donner de temps en temps aux Gouvernements des pays exportateurs des renseignements relatifs aux personnes auxquelles des permis d'importation auront été accordés pour la morphine, la cocaïne et leurs sels respectifs. |\n| **ARTICLE 17** | Les Puissances contractantes appliqueront les lois et règlements de fabrication, d'importation, de vente ou d'exportation de la morphine, de la cocaïne et de leurs sels respectifs :

Smith, Bell & Co.,Ltd., \nManila, P. I.\n\nGentleman;\n\nThe receipt is acknowledged of your communication of the 15th. instant, submitting a copy of a letter received from Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co.,Ltd., Hongkong; also a copy of a letter signed by the Master of the s/s \"Yuensang\" and addressed to the above mentioned firm; and in which you state that you understand the Insular Collector of Customs is \"not at all satisfied with the care taken by the steamship owners or by the authorities in Hongkong to prevent the smuggling of opium on board vessels in Hongkong;\" also requesting suggestions from this Office that would tend to put a stop to the smuggling of opium on board the Hongkong-Manila steamers.\n\nIn reply thereto you are informed that the failure of the searchers to find opium on board the s/s \"Yuensang\" was not unexpected, as there was opportunity after her departure from this Port to conceal the drug in some portion of the vessel in which it was less liable to be found than in the coal bunkers. The under-signed is not in a position to make suggestions to ship-owners in Hongkong as to the methods that might or should be pursued at that point to prevent the transfer of opium to vessels bound for Philippine Ports, as that is a matter which they (the vessel owners) are in the best position to determine. It is understood that the only steps taken in Hongkong to prevent the introduction of opium on board vessels is the stationing of four Chinese policemen on board while said vessels are in Hongkong harbour. Several of the masters of steamers plying between Hongkong and Manila have stated that the placing of Chinese police officers aboard the vessels will not prevent opium being brought aboard, and this Office is entirely in accord with their view of the matter.

Jardine, Matheson & Company's letter, ... \n\n## Page 365", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-396 - Public Offices - 1912.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 442715, "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": "CO129-400 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [3-4]", "page_number": 283, "title": "CO129-400 - Governor Sir May - 1913 [3-4]", "content_text": "## B 277\n\n2\n\n**PHOTOGRAPHY IN NATURAL COLOURS**\n\nThe Polychromide System\n\nEffort to produce photographs in the actual colour of nature have attracted earnest attention during recent years, and the works of the Lumières and others were valuable stepping-stones on the road to progress. It has been proved that, by the use of the colour-screen, negatives can be produced giving the sensations of the three primary colours, and these can be combined to leave a fairly harmonious picture; but it has been well stated that the results obtained by superposed pigmented bichromated gelatine (successively yellow, red, and blue), printed from colour-selection negatives at very uncertain and often far from satisfactory.\n\nOne of the chief features which distinguish the new polychromide process, patented by Mr. Acon Hamburger, of the Dover Street Studios, from many others is the use of a mechanism which enables the three plates to be taken simultaneously at a single exposure. In order to overcome certain difficulties inherent in this principle, Hamburger employs both reflection and refraction, and he has succeeded in so balancing the intensities of each that the perfect colour-stone rendering is obtained. A scale of shades of the standard colours has been prepared, in which the yellow inclines slightly to orange, the red to crimson, and the blue to green; that is to say, in lieu of being true primaries, the tints are in each case somewhere merged the one into the other. These shades are standardized, so that by means of the special developer used in the camera and the sensitized printing paper, with the above standard tints, any photographer should be able to attain accurate results. Two plates not on three are employed, each is sensitized to photograph one colour only.\n\nThe plate and the film are put together into one slide, with the emulsions in contact, the film thus serving the purpose of screening the plate. A print is made from the blue negative upon a rapid gelatine paper, which is turned into the yellow image. Prints in gelatine containing double salts are prepared from the other two negatives and transferred to a temporary support of glass. They are then superposed on the original yellow print by stripping. Though so far Mr. Hamburger has worked only by the aid of artificial flashlight, using a special compound to impart the requisite active properties, he does not anticipate obstacles in adapting the process to ordinary daylight. The camera takes the three pictures through a single lens and a single shutter, and it is found possible to have the register of the pictures perfectly accurate. The success of this process appears to depend upon the skill with which the spectrum has been split up, so that there is either no gap nor overlap, and therefore no colour is either lost or doubled. Specimens of the results yielded by the new process include not only serious portraits, in which the delicate flesh tints, the hair, and the minute details on the costume of the sitters are reproduced in complete harmony and in true colours, but also copies of paintings by the Old Masters in which the values due to low tone and false tints are successfully overcome.\n\n## NEWS OF THE WORLD\n\n[Telegrams from London]\n\n**The King of Greece**\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens wires that an eye-witness of the scene said that the King was standing at the corner of Aghistas Street, which is near the Police Headquarters, when an assassin rushed out of a hiding place and drew a big revolver from close quarters at His Majesty.\n\nThe Aide-de-Camp, Colonel Frangoulis, drew his revolver, whereupon the assassin turned round and fired twice upon the Colonel.\n\nTwo Cretan gendarmes then dashed up and arrested the assassin, who offered no resistance.\n\nColonel Frangoulis ran to the King, thinking His Majesty had not been hit, but found that he had fastened to the ground and was only half conscious.\n\nColonel Frangoulis raised the King in his arms, but His Majesty did not utter a word.\n\nSome notes and cartridges were found on the assassin.\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens says the man refuses to speak except to say, \"I will speak in the presence of the King.\"\n\n**King George V**\n\nThe King, accompanied by Queen Alexandra, visited Queen Mary at Marlborough House.\n\nThe outrage has aroused worldwide condolences and universal expressions of horror.\n\nA dispatch from Salonika to \"The Times\" regarding the assassination of the King of Greece says the King was in the habit of walking out every afternoon with a single servant, refusing requests made by his advisers to permit the presence of guards.\n\nYesterday, he was talking happily of the war and the successes of the Greek army as a long delayed triumph to his reign and said: \"Tomorrow I pay a final visit to the Dreadnought Goeben. It is with happiness and contentment that a German battleship should honour the Greek King at Salonika.\" These proved to be His Majesty's last words, for at that moment the assassin...\n\nThe Aide-de-Camp, Colonel Frangoulis, seized the hands of the assassin, which was poised for a second shot. Covering his Royal master with his body, Colonel Frangoulis grabbed the assailant by the throat and held him fast till soldiers came to his aid.\n\nThe English public are profoundly affected by the tragedy, which is an additional bereavement in Queen Alexandra's family. There were many references to the tragedy by public men at meetings held yesterday, and last night, wide pages of the papers were devoted to tributes.\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens says that all Greece is grief-stricken. The Prince George and others gently broke the news to the Queen, who fainted several times.\n\nReuter's correspondent at Athens also reports that it appears that the assassin is weak-minded, and a victim of alcohol. He is a native of Greece. He was twice dismissed from a school where he was employed as an attendant and he petitioned the King, who referred the matter to the proper quarter, which rejected the petition.\n\n## British Affairs\n\nIn introducing the Army Estimates in the House of Commons, Col. Seely, Minister of War, dwelt on the extraordinary apprehension regarding aviation. He pointed out that the officers' never allowed performances to be published, and consequently remarkable achievements went unnoticed.\n\nHe affirmed that they did not possess any Zeppelins because they were not required.\n\nIt was decided to have some transportable dirigibles, and they would also possess 14 aeroplanes by May. Publicity were obviously marked for an expeditionary remount, and they could not reinforce the Egyptian garrison or the Indian troops. They had obtained a type of aeroplane superior to that of any nation. The difficulty was in regard to the engine, as he was offering a prize in this connection with the promise of a large purchase.\n\nThe Minister, Mr. H. Samuel (Postmaster General) and Sir Rufus Isaacs (Attorney General) obtained judgment with costs against the French newspaper \"La Muflin\" for libel in connection with statements published relating to the Marconi affair. The newspaper admitted the statements to be false and apologized.\n\nCounsel for the defence unreservedly accepted the denials of the Ministers that they were in any way concerned with dealings in Marconi shares.\n\nDelous Wattoit, Unionist Free Trader, has been returned to Parliament for the Kendal Division. The polling was:\n\n| Candidate | Votes |\n| --- | --- |\n| Col. Weston (U.) | 3,241 |\n| Mr. Somervell (C) | 1,680 |\n| | 581 |\n\nUnionist Majority\n\nMr. Bone, in addressing the members of the Manchester Unionist Association, said that Kendal, in electing Colonel Weston, who refused to support the policy announced by the Party leaders, really voted no confidence in the late Government. If the party refused to act unitedly and would act following the leader, it was his duty to give place to another; and he would perform that duty if circumstances arose.\n\nThe result of the Houghton-le-Spring by-election was:\n\n| Candidate | Votes |\n| --- | --- |\n| Mr. Wing (L) | 930 |\n| Mr. Richardson (C) | 4,807 |\n| Mr. Modles (L) | 4,185 |\n\nThe motion by Mr. Harold Smith for a reduction of the Home Office vote was defeated by 224 votes to 100.\n\nThe two Irish prisoners who had been sentenced for five days in Cold Bath Fields prison and to whom shamrocks were sent down on St. Patrick's Day have been rescued.\n\nFrom Port Said, it is reported that the steamer \"Melen\" has shipped £50,000 in gold for Singapore.\n\n## Affairs in China\n\nThere is much published in the Russian press regarding impending war between Russia and China. This is partly based on reported Chinese preparations for an advance on Urga, in defiance of Russia.\n\nIt is announced from St. Petersburg that M. Mueller, the Consul General at Tabriz, is proceeding to Urga as Consul-General, the consulate there being upgraded to a Consulate-General.\n\n## ENDER ENTIRELY NEW SIGN ON KHEN\n\n**EXCELLENT COLON**\n\nModerate Rates\n\nM.

The sums asked for are required to complete the payments for the purchase of the buoys and moorings in Victoria Harbour and for raising and renewing some of them.\n\nMembers will remember that I addressed the Secretary of State on this subject in August, 1914, and received his approval of the scheme on the 6th October, 1914. The correspondence is printed in Sessional Paper No. 17 of 1914. Owing to financial reasons the carrying out of the scheme was postponed during the first half of last year, but in October last I was able to report to the Secretary of State that the revenue receipts were so satisfactory that I had sanctioned the carrying into effect of a portion of the scheme involving the purchase of twenty C-class buoys at a cost of $85,000, and the relaying of some of them in the coal and rice anchorages at a cost of $5,000. A sum of $140,000 was also provided in the estimates of the current year for the purchase of further buoys and moorings and a sum of $10,000 for relaying some of them. The scheme has now been satisfactorily completed at a total cost of $252,437. With this sum 45 moorings have been purchased as compared with an estimate of $250,000 for 40 moorings. Great credit is due to the Acting Harbour Master (Commander Beckwith) and the Acting Assistant Harbour Master (the late Lieutenant Davey) for this successful result, but I would remind you that the suggestion to acquire the moorings was first made by Commander Basil Taylour in the year 1902. The sum of $30,000 now asked for is to complete the sum of $252,431 referred to and to provide a sum of $2,539, which will be used, in addition to the $5,000 for other charges, to complete the work of raising and renewing moorings.\n\nTHE COLONIAL TREASURER seconded, and this was agreed to.\n\n## Hon. Mr. Pollock, K.C., and the Government Civil Hospital\n\nHON. MR. H. E. POLLOCK, K.C., asked the following questions:\n\n1. With reference to the new allocation of Sisters in A Block of the Government Civil Hospital, which was made by His Excellency the Governor at the last meeting of Council on the 3rd August, will the Government answer the following questions, namely:\n - (i). Did not Sister Kelsey, pursuant to permission granted prior to the said Meeting of Council, leave this Colony on long leave, on the 9th August?\n - (ii). Have not the services of one of the Private Nurses been requisitioned for private nursing, so as to render her unavailable for Hospital work? During what dates between the 3rd August and the date of these Questions (21st August), have the services of such Private Nurse been required for private nursing?\n - (iii). On what dates between the last Meeting of Council (3rd August) and the date of these Questions (21st August) have there been two Sisters on duty in the morning in A Block, namely, one Sister on each floor?\n - (iv). On what dates between the said dates has there been a Sister on duty, attending to the operating theatre exclusively?\n - (v). Is not Sister Gorham, pursuant to permission granted to her prior to the said Meeting of Council, due to go away from the Colony on long leave on the 30th August, 1916?\n - (vi). When will Sister Sloan complete her present current period of 1 years' Service?\n - (vii). Have the Government secured the service of any, and, if so, what Sister or Nurses since the last Meeting of Council?\n - (viii). Has Sister Jacobs resigned from the Government Hospitals Service in this Colony?\n\n2. With reference to the re-arrangement of the Staff in B Block of the Government Civil Hospital, which was announced at the said Meeting of Council, under which re-arrangement the nursing of patients in B Block is left entirely to Probationers and Japanese Nurses, will the Government state the respective lengths of Service of the Probationers who are left in charge of B Block? And will the Government also state whether such Japanese Nurses, and, if so, how many of them possess a sufficient knowledge of English, written as well as spoken, to render them independent of the aid of an Interpreter into English, in the discharge of their duties? Are the Japanese Nurses in charge of the wards in B Block or are the Probationers in charge of such wards?\n\n3. Was not the stock of drugs and disinfectants kept in store at the Government Civil Hospital considerably reduced by the present Principal Civil Medical Officer before the War?\n\nTHE COLONIAL SECRETARY replied as follows:\n\n1. \n - (i). Yes.\n - (ii). One of the private Nursing Sisters went out to a case on 3rd August and remained with the case until the 12th September. \n - (iii). From August 15th to 21st.\n - (iv). From August 15th to 21st.\n - (v). Yes. Sister Gorham was granted leave to go as soon as she desired to do so and she went on the 8th September.\n - (vi). Sister Sloan completes four years' resident service on the 13th December. She does not know at present whether she will go in December or later.\n - (vii). The following Nursing Staff have been engaged since 3rd August:\n - (a) Mrs. McEwen was taken on as a temporary maternity nurse on the 21st August. \n - (b) Mrs. Birnie was taken on on the 16th August as a temporary sister. She resigned on the 20th September.\n - (c) Mrs. Churchill was taken on on the 8th September as a temporary sister.\n - (d) Miss Halley joined as a temporary sister on the 18th September. \n - (e) Mrs. Fraser joined on the 2nd October as a temporary maternity nurse.\n - (f) Two Japanese Staff Nurses joined on the 6th September.\n - (viii). Miss Jacobs was transferred by the Colonial Office to the Federated Malay States while on leave.\n\n2. Probationer Nurse Smith appointed 1st November, 1915. Probationer Nurse Roberts on the 12th November, 1915, and Probationer Nurse Meadows on the 4th April, 1916. As to the knowledge of English possessed by the Japanese Nurses the Superintendent writes as follows: All of them possess quite a fair knowledge of writing English and are able to do so intelligently. Nurses Mishima, Sakamoto, and Tsuchimoto understand spoken English quite well, but the other two not quite so well. They all have some difficulty in reading the written language. At present they do require some amount of interpreting, but I have no doubt they will improve with daily practice in hearing and in speaking the language. Under date of the 8th of September the Matron reported as follows: I find they are improving daily and their nursing is excellent. I am quite satisfied with their progress. The last two arrivals are very good indeed and speak English quite well; they both appear to be well-trained nurses. Dr. Moore expressed his opinion to me that the nursing has been done quite satisfactorily in B Block by these nurses.\n\n As regards the nursing generally in B Block, Under date of 20th September the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital reported as follows: \"I have no adverse criticism to make on the work of Japanese Staff Nurses and Probationary Nurses. I know of no instance in which patients have not been properly nursed.\"", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-435 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1916 [9-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 463531, "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": "CO129-435 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1916 [9-11]", "page_number": 623, "title": "CO129-435 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1916 [9-11]", "content_text": "## HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nand Shanshuipo, which was postponed on account of the war. The need for such a scheme is urgent and as funds now permit it is proposed to go on with it.\n\nUnder \"Waterworks,\" item 43, a sum of $27,000 has been provided to begin the work of laying an additional main from the filter beds to Yaumati.\n\nIn the New Territories, under the heading \"Roads,\" item 45 (b), a sum of $125,000 has been entered for a road 20 feet wide from Shamshuipo to Tsun Wan. It is proposed that this road shall be continued to Castle Peak to join the existing road, which is to be widened, thereby completing the circuit from Kowloon via Fanling. Under (c), $15,000, for widening to 20 feet the road from San Tin to Au Tau. Under (d), $6,000, for widening another portion of the road to Castle Peak. Under (e), $20,000, for widening and improving the bends on the most dangerous part of the road to Taipo. I think the programme of Public Works should keep the department well occupied during the year.\n\nIn the Post Office, under \"Other Charges,\" the higher exchange is estimated to result in a saving of $10,607 in the share of Mail Subsidy, and transit charges are estimated at $25,000 less than this year.\n\nA sum of $3,500 is entered for coal for the launch, which is $1,500 more than this year, while the higher cost of materials is responsible to some extent for an estimated increase in the votes for mail bags and uniforms.\n\nThe form of the Estimates of Expenditure of the Kowloon-Canton Railway has been entirely recast. The estimates for the current year fall under two main heads: - A - Working Expenses, B - Expenses of Construction, the latter being expenditure on capital account. The capital account having been closed, all expenditure on the railway is now included in working expenses under the following heads: — 1. General Charges; 2. Maintenance of Way, Works and Stations; 3. Locomotive, Carriage and Wagon Expenses; 4. Traffic Expenses; 5. Miscellaneous Expenses; 6. Fanling branch line; 7. Special Expenditure.\n\n| Head | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | General Charges |\n| 2 | Maintenance of Way, Works and Stations |\n| 3 | Locomotive, Carriage and Wagon Expenses |\n| 4 | Traffic Expenses |\n| 5 | Miscellaneous Expenses |\n| 6 | Fanling branch line |\n| 7 | Special Expenditure |\n\nUnder the first six of these heads the expenditure is divided into \"Personal Emoluments and Other Charges\" as in other departments of the Government. Under Head No. 2, \"Other Charges,\" the sum required for bridges and tunnels has been raised from $1,300 to $3,000 to meet the increased price of materials and to provide for the biennial painting and renovation, and for the same reason the votes for repairs of Staff-quarters and repairs of Station buildings have been increased. Under Head No. 3 \"Personal Emoluments,\" provision has been made for eight locomotive cleaners at a cost of $1,620, instead of the work being performed by contract as hitherto at a somewhat higher cost. The staff of the Railway Workshops, which has hitherto been included under the general term \"Wages\" under \"Other Charges,\" is now set out in detail under \"Personal Emoluments.\" It will be seen that the former item \"Wages\" and the total of the detailed salaries do not correspond, the latter being several thousand dollars higher than the former. The explanation of this discrepancy is three-fold. Firstly, repairs next year are expected to be somewhat heavier than this year, and the wages bill is increased, though to no great extent, in anticipation. Secondly, it has been the custom to estimate under \"Wages\" for a sum of about $5,000 less than the sum actually required to pay the men, the balance being received by transfer from the votes of other branches of the department for which work was done. In the estimates before you the actual cost of the Workshops' staff is shown, and the votes in other departments have been reduced by approximately $5,000. Thirdly, it has hitherto been the practice to include painting of rolling stock under \"Wages.\" Painting is now separately provided for, as is explained in footnote (22) on page 111. Under \"Other Charges,\" coal is estimated to cost $29,000, and Materials for Repairs and Renewals of Locomotives, $5,400, more than the estimate for this year. Running stores are entered at $17,500 as against $13,000 this year. Under Head No. 4 \"Other Charges,\" an increased sum is provided for the maintenance of Telegraphs and Telephones. Under Head No. 6 the expenditure on the Fanling branch has been cut down, and it is hoped that this small line, which is now run as a tramway, may pay its way.\n\nUnder \"Special Expenditure\" are two large items for works, which would have been formerly included in the construction account. It is possible that the payment for land may be completed this year, but as this is doubtful it has been considered desirable to make provision next year. The erection of the platform awnings has been delayed by the difficulty experienced in getting suitable material from England.\n\n## HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nUnder the head \"Charge of account of Public Debt,\" considerable reductions are shown for interest and Sinking Fund charges in connection with the existing debt owing to the higher rate of exchange, while no provision is necessary for interest on advances by the Crown Agents and the overdraft at the Bank, which have happily ceased to exist. The necessary provision has been made for the service of the new loan of $3,000,000.\n\nThe amount required for Civil Pensions is lower than for the current year by $19,000. I am sure that honourable members will regret the disappearance of the pension hitherto paid by this Colony to the late Sir Cecil Clementi Smith. It is a matter of which I am sure the Civil Service of this Colony has been proud that one of the first batch of Cadet Officers should have had such a distinguished career. Though he left this Colony as long ago as 1878 to become Colonial Secretary and subsequently Governor of the Straits Settlements, we had the pleasure of welcoming him here again a few years ago, when on his way to Shanghai as the principal representative of Great Britain at the Conference on Opium.\n\nIn the common effort towards that end this Colony has taken no ignoble part. Referring to the financial side alone, the annual expenditure for the defence of the Colony, and in connection with the War, will this year probably amount to $2,716,372, and is estimated for next year at $3,017,707. She is about to present the Imperial Government with a gift of $3,000,000, and she may increase that gift if adequate and satisfactory ways and means of finance can be found. It may also suffice some who are ever ready to criticise without first taking the precaution of ascertaining facts, a common failing in this Colony, to learn that her contributions to Imperial War Funds and to War Charities are at present as follows:\n\n| Contribution | Amount |\n| --- | --- |\n| British War Loans | £2,603,000 |\n|  (including £90,000 in British War Expenditure Certificates) | |\n|  £73,000 in six per cent. Exchequer Bonds | |\n|  £20,000 in War Savings Certificates | |\n| Charitable and other contributions to the war: | |\n|  Prince of Wales Fund | £31,500 |\n|  War Charities, administered by The British Red Cross Society and the local committees | £15,000 |\n|  ... | £3,000 |\n|  Our Day subscription 1916 | £1,330 |\n|  Sir Robert Ho Tung to the Red Cross Society | £1,920 |\n|  Tai Yau Bank - one aeroplane | |\n|  Community Hongkong - two aeroplanes | |\n|  The Belgian Relief Funds | about £450 |\n|  The Belgian Red Cross Fund | £1,000 |\n|  Motor Ambulance presented by Mr. Lau Chu-pak and others | £1,600 |\n|  Motor Ambulance presented by the ladies of Hongkong | |\n|  The Navy League - Star and Garter Fund | £100 |\n|  ... | £463 |\n\nTotal £61,263 Supplemented by a gift of tobacco from the men of U.S.S. Wilmington.\n\nFor the first time for some years it is not necessary for the Governor to balance the budget by drawing upon surplus balances in order to meet an estimated deficit. There is an estimated surplus of Revenue over Expenditure of $845,845, which, added to the estimated balance at the end of this year of $1,003,645, makes a total of $1,849,488. This will be a cash balance, but I would anticipate any suggestion that the possession of such a balance indicates that more revenue has been raised than is required for the needs of the Colony, by remarking that we must not lose sight of the fact that the high price of silver, high exchange, extraordinary influx of population, and large economies in public works and in other directions have all contributed to swell our net receipts during the year, while much of our revenue is derived from sources susceptible of violent fluctuations. It behoves us, also, to bear in mind that the war shows no signs of taking an end. It is therefore our obvious duty to husband our resources and to increase them as opportunity may offer, for no man can tell what sacrifices the Empire may not have to make before the goal of complete victory, which in common with her valiant Allies she steadfastly keeps before her eyes, is finally reached. I do not suggest that the Colony has done enough. In this small but important outpost of the Empire, we have been less affected by the War than other parts of the Empire, and it is, therefore, a clear duty to make real sacrifices in aid of the enormous work going on for the common end.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-435 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1916 [9-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 463573, "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": "CO129-435 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1916 [9-11]", "page_number": 665, "title": "CO129-435 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1916 [9-11]", "content_text": "# HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nand Shamshuipo, which was postponed on account of the war.

The staff of the Railway Workshops, which has hitherto been included under the General item \"Wages\" under \"Other Charges,\" is now set out in detail under \"Personal Emoluments.\" It will be seen that the former item \"Wages\" and the total of the detailed salaries do not correspond, the latter being several thousand dollars higher than the former.\n\nThe explanation of this discrepancy is three-fold. Firstly, repairs next year are expected to be somewhat heavier than this year, and the wages bill is increased, though to no great extent, in anticipation. Secondly, it has been the custom to estimate under \"Wages\" for a sum of about $5,000 less than the sum actually required to pay the men, the balance being received by transfer from the votes of other branches of the department for which work was done. In the estimates before you, the actual cost of the Workshops staff is shown, and the votes in other departments have been reduced by approximately $5,000. Thirdly, it has hitherto been the practice to include painting of rolling stock under \"Wages.\" Painting is now separately provided for, as is explained in footnote (22) on page 111.\n\nIn the Post Office, under \"Other Charges,\" the higher exchange is estimated to result in a saving of $10,607 in the share of Mail Subsidy, and transit charges are estimated at $25,000 less than this year. A sum of $3,500 is entered for coal for the launch, which is $1,500 more than this year, while the higher cost of materials is responsible to some extent for an estimated increase in the votes for mail bags and uniforms.\n\nThe form of the Estimates of Expenditure of the Kowloon-Canton Railway has been entirely recast. The estimates for the current year fall under two main heads: A-Working Expenses, B-Expenses of Construction, the latter being expenditure on capital account. The capital account having been closed, all expenditure on the railway is now included in working expenses under the following heads:- 1. General Charges; 2. Maintenance of Way, Works and Stations; 3. Locomotive, Carriage and Wagon Expenses; 4. Traffic Expenses; 5. Miscellaneous Expenses; 6. Fanling branch line; 7. Special Expenditure.\n\n| Head | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | General Charges |\n| 2 | Maintenance of Way, Works and Stations |\n| 3 | Locomotive, Carriage and Wagon Expenses |\n| 4 | Traffic Expenses |\n| 5 | Miscellaneous Expenses |\n| 6 | Fanling branch line |\n| 7 | Special Expenditure |\n\nUnder the first six of these heads, the expenditure is divided into \"Personal Emoluments and Other Charges\" as in other departments of the Government. Under Head No. 2, \"Other Charges,\" the sum required for bridges and tunnels has been raised from $1,300 to $3,000 to meet the increased price of materials and to provide for the biennial painting. Under \"Other Charges,\" coal is estimated to cost $20,000, and Materials for Repairs and Renewals of Locomotives, $5,400 more than the estimate for this year. Running stores are entered at $17,500 as against $13,000 this year. Under Head No. 4 \"Other Charges,\" an increased sum is provided for the maintenance of Telegraphs and Telephones. Under Head No. 6, the expenditure on the Fanling branch has been cut down, and it is hoped that this small line, which is now run as a tramway, may pay its way.\n\nUnder \"Special Expenditure\" are two large items for works, which would have formerly been included in the construction account. It is possible that the payment for land may be completed this year, but as this is doubtful, it has been considered desirable to make provision next year. The erection of the platform awnings has been delayed by the difficulty experienced in getting suitable material from England.\n\n## HONGKONG LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL\n\nUnder the head \"Charge of account of Public Debt,\" considerable reductions are shown for interest and Sinking Fund charges in connection with the existing debt owing to the higher rate of exchange, while no provision is necessary for interest on advances by the Crown Agents and the overdraft at the Bank, which have happily ceased to exist. The necessary provision has been made for the service of the new loan of $4,000,000.\n\nThe amount required for Civil Pensions is lower than for the current year by $19,000. I am sure that honourable members will regret the disappearance of the pension hitherto paid by this Colony to the late Sir Cecil Clementi Smith. It is a matter of which I am sure the Civil Service of this Colony has been proud that one of the first batch of Cadet Officers should have had such a distinguished career.\n\nThe Colony's contributions to Imperial War Funds and to War Charities are as follows:-\n- British War Loans: £2,603,000, including £90,000 in British War Expenditure Certificates, £73,000 in six per cent. Exchequer Bonds, and £20,000 in War Savings Certificates.\n- Charitable and other contributions to the war:\n - Prince of Wales Fund, War Charities, administered by the local committees: £31,500\n - The British Red Cross Society: £15,000\n - \"Our Day\" subscription 1916: £1,330\n - Sir Robert Ho Tung to the Red Cross Society: ...\n - Tai Yau Bank - one aeroplane\n - Community Hongkong - two aeroplanes\n - The Belgian Relief Funds: about £1,920\n - The Belgian Red Cross Fund: £3,000\n - Motor Ambulance presented by Mr. Lau Chu-pak and others: £1,500\n - Motor Ambulance presented by the ladies of Hongkong: £3,000\n - The Navy League Star Garter Fund: £400\n - The Tobacco Funds: about £100\n - Supplemented by a gift of tobacco from the men of U.S.S. Wilmington: £463\n\nFor the first time for some years, it is not necessary for the Governor to balance the budget by drawing upon surplus balances in order to meet an estimated deficit. There is an estimated surplus of Revenue over Expenditure of $845,845, which, added to the estimated balance at the end of this year of $1,003,645, makes a total of $1,849,488. This will be a cash balance, but I would anticipate any suggestion that the possession of such a balance indicates that more revenue has been raised than is required for the needs of the Colony, by remarking that we must not lose sight of the fact that the high price of silver, high exchange, extraordinary influx of population, and large economies in public works and in other directions have all contributed to swell our net receipts during the year, while much of our revenue is derived from sources susceptible of violent fluctuations.\n\nIn the common effort towards that end, this Colony has taken no ignoble part. Referring to the financial side alone, the annual expenditure for the defence of the Colony, and in connection with the War, will this year probably amount to $2,716,372, and is estimated for next year at $3,017,707. She is about to present the Imperial Government with a gift of $3,000,000, and she may increase that gift if adequate and satisfactory ways and means of finance can be found. I do not suggest that the Colony has done enough. In this small but important outpost of the Empire, we have been less affected by the War than other parts of the Empire, and it is, therefore, a clear duty to make real sacrifices in aid of the enormous work going on for the common end. It behoves us, also, to bear in mind that the war shows no signs of taking an end. It is therefore our obvious duty to husband our resources and to increase them wisely as opportunity may offer, for no man can tell what sacrifices the Empire may not have to make before the goal of complete victory, which in common with her valiant Allies she steadfastly keeps before her eyes, is finally reached.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-435 - Governor Sir May & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1916 [9-11].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 464187, "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": "CO129-436 - Acting Governor Claud Sever & Governor Sir May & Public Offices - 1916 [11-12]", "page_number": 451, "title": "CO129-436 - Acting Governor Claud Sever & Governor Sir May & Public Offices - 1916 [11-12]", "content_text": "# SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1916.\n\n## INDO-CHINA STEAM NAVIGATION CO., LTD.\n\n### PROJECTED SAILINGS FROM HONGKONG (SUBJECT TO ALTERATION)\n\nFor HAIPHONG... *MANILA *PORN, PENANG & U'CUTTA KUTSANG †SHANGHAI *MANILA †SHANGHAI ‡SANDAKAN\n\nHONGKONG-NEW YORK REGULAR SAILINGS via PORTS & SUEZ & PANAMA CANALS.

Martin late Superintendent Registration and Parcel Branch I do not think it will be possible to obtain a successor from home during the period of the war and I am not at present aware of any suitable candidate already in the Government service who could take his place. I propose therefore to recommend subject to the approval of His Excellency the Governor, and to the consent of His Excellency the General Officer Commanding (who should I think be approached in the first instance) that Serjeant Cooper, 4th King's Shropshire Light Infantry who is a Postal Clerk by profession and has had 14 years service in the General Post Office at home as telegraphist and as a Postal Clerk in all the General Branches of the General Post Office be offered the temporary appointment so as to fill the gap until arrangements of a more permanent nature can be made. It must of course be understood that should Serjeant Cooper be called out for active operations he will be allowed to return to his unit immediately and that he is seconded for service under the local General Post Office subject to his proviso.\n\n2.\n\nI have personally ascertained that provided the consent of His Excellency the General Officer Commanding is obtained neither the Commanding Officer Major Harris-Edge nor the Officer Commanding Signalling Section of the 4th K.

Mr. HOLYOAK, who was loudly applauded as he entered the room, and also when he rose to speak, said:- As it is past the hour for which this meeting was called I will proceed to address the meeting upon the subject for which you have been called together this afternoon. Briefly it is this.\n\nThat a resolution which was unanimously adopted by your elected committee was rejected in the Legislative Council, and we have now brought it before the meeting to endorse or not as seems fitting to you.\n\nThe resolution which I have to propose, and which in substance is identically the same as that proposed in the Legislative Council in your name, is as follows:-\n\nIt is the opinion of the Chamber that it is in the best interest of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least ten years following the declaration of peace; and, that, subsequently, they be only admitted into the Colony under strict licence.\n\nNow, gentlemen, I contend that, speaking on behalf of the Chamber, there was not the slightest need on the part of the Government to debate this resolution.\n\nIt was largely academic, it did not seek legislation, it merely asked that the considered, and carefully considered, opinion of your elected Committee should be put before the authorities at Home, who are shortly to meet to consider this very question. We claim that we have a right to a voice, inasmuch as while the greater Colonies will be represented directly by their own representatives, we as a Crown Colony will be represented by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and therefore a direct communication from this Chamber in no uncertain manner should be sent Home, quite apart from Government despatches and recommendations which might not be known to us.\n\nNow, gentlemen, we further contend that this resolution was never seriously discussed by the Government in Council, and that His Excellency's speech, if it was not flippant in argument, was at any rate unfortunate, to say the least of it, in its choice of language. (Hear, hear.)\n\nIt has been said, it was said in Council, that the appeal made was largely one appeal based on sentiment, and was one which ignored economic facts. In the first place, gentlemen, it is impossible in connection with this war to ignore sentiment. (Applause.) The entry of England into this war in the very first place was entirely and absolutely due to sentiment, namely, that we should fulfil our treaty obligations to the nation of Belgium.\n\nAnd, gentlemen, it is impossible to conceive that as a result of this war sentiment in connection with it will die down for many years to come, and therefore we cannot afford to ignore it. (Applause.) You will notice that I am endeavouring in presenting this case to present it without passion, and to deal with it calmly and logically as it presents itself and as I trust it will appeal to you.\n\nCommittee, I propose now to deal with the economic argument to which, it has been said, we did not sufficiently dwell upon.\n\nGentlemen, I really felt it was unnecessary to argue it at length because the disclosures in connection with the liquidations were such common property in this Colony that it did not seem necessary to argue them at length, but as it seems desirable to speak more fully upon it I will proceed to do so.\n\nI said in my speech that the return of the Germans to Hongkong would be inimical to the interests of Hongkong. That is the basis of our economic argument. (Applause.)\n\nTo your Chamber, and to your Committee, I propose now to deal with the economic argument to which, it has been said, we did not sufficiently dwell upon.\n\nGentlemen, I really felt it was unnecessary to argue it at length because the disclosures in connection with the liquidations were such common property in this Colony that it did not seem necessary to argue them at length, but as it seems desirable to speak more fully upon it I will proceed to do so.\n\nI said in my speech that the return of the Germans to Hongkong would be inimical to the interests of Hongkong. That is the basis of our economic argument. (Applause.)\n\nTo your\n\n[April 27th, 1917.\n\n209\n\n349\n\n8\n\nApril 27th, 1917.] CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.\n\ndevelopment any big commercial\n\ncome the expression of opinion of businessmen of Hongkong, men, gentlemen, that at least 60 per cent. of the German trade in this Colony was done in British cargo. Now, gentlemen, let us pause for a moment to consider what that means.\n\nI mean that if we are not alive to the possibility of competition, and knowing well we can meet them and overcome them, then we shall deserve all the competition we may possibly have to meet.\n\nThe Hon. Sir PAUL CHATER- then said: Gentlemen, while I yield to none in my detestation and horror of the Germans and the unspeakable atrocities committed by that nation since the commencement of the War, at the same time I cannot find myself in accord with the suggestion that it is in the best interests of the Colony of Hongkong that persons of German nationality should be excluded therefrom for a period of at least 10 years following the declaration of peace, and that subsequently they be admitted into the Colony under strict licence,\" save and except under conditions which are, I am convinced, beyond the bound of practical politics, namely, that the same stand be adopted and maintained by all the Allies in the Far East- France, Russia, Japan and most particularly China.\n\nGiven these conditions, then I am with you. Except under these conditions to exclude the Germans from our Colony would be merely to drive them to neighbouring trade centres, where once established they would prove a serious menace to our welfare and trade, not to mention the loss of benefits to be derived from the use of our Harbour by their shipping, and of shipping under their control. (Voice-Rot. They have no shipping. Who wrote it?)\n\nI deem it inexpedient that I should here mention in detail the place where they could exert and unless China sides with us) so establish themselves in our immediate neighbourhood.\n\nThey must be as well-known to you all as to me, but I shall be only too pleased to give my views in full to your Committee if and when they wish.\n\nIt has been argued that with no coaling facilities on the way German shipping will find a difficulty in reaching these distant waters, but can we for a moment suppose that she will not find means to overcome this difficulty? What about the use of oil fuel in place of coal? It would be easy enough for steamers using oil to reach Dutch ports in the East Indies and there replenish their stock for the further voyage to China, and Japan.\n\nThat China has at the moment broken off diplomatic relations with Germany we all know, and I trust that the day is not far distant when she will be numbered amongst our Allies; but to imagine for a moment that when peace is established she will continue to decline to trade with her is to my mind absurd.\n\nI have read that the German Concessions at Tientsin, Hankow and elsewhere, now being taken care of by China, will eventually be handed back to her, and we know Germans to-day are tolerated and trading in Shanghai.\n\nI maintain then to exclude them from this Colony only would be a suicidal policy. (Voice-No, no.) It may be said that we have got on very well and prospered without them during the war-granted but shall we not do so to a greater degree on their return! (Voice No.) Nor do I think we have much to fear for our trade from their competition for many years to come, particularly in view of the statement which has been put forward that they will have to compete without the banking and discount facilities in London which they formerly enjoyed.\n\nIn support of the remarks of our worthy Chairman as regards this resolution, and to add that it might be considered a matter of common and ordinary precaution.\n\nGentlemen. We desire these sentiments to be sent home to the Home Government.\n\nThe Prime Minister, very wisely, since the beginning of the war, has acted in consultation with the best technical and business brains of the country-(applause)-and we are encouraged to think that his Government will welcome...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 468082, "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": "CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6]", "page_number": 386, "title": "CO129-442 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [4-6]", "content_text": "personal explanation to his w\n\nRees Davis\n\nand\n\nhi Gompertz\n\nthat the\n\nOrds is\n\nonly being\n\nhareeda\n\nndu\n\nto put the\n\nage\n\nlimit for\n\ncomfubry retirement\n\nthe Laban same\n\nfooting\n\nin\n\nthe J.

The trade in this, the second important article of export from the islands, is also largely in British hands. Messrs. Smith, Bell, & Co. are perhaps the largest shippers and act as general managers of the Luzon Sugar Refining Co., Ltd., but they are closely followed by Ker & Co. and W. F. Stevenson & Co.\n\nThe destination of the exports in 1914 was as follows :--\n\nUnited States -\n\nUnited Kingdom\n\nChina -\n\nJapan\n\nTotal\n\n167,436 tons.\n\n5,373\n\n46,219\n\n13,746\n\n232,774 tons.\n\nThe principal exports during the year 1914 consisted of hemp £3,998,916, sugar £2,304,081, copra £1,662,556, cocoanut and other vegetable oils £550,546, cigars £482,325, unmanufactured tobacco £379,927.\n\nHemp. The principal consuming countries are:-\n\nUnited States\n\nUnited Kingdom\n\nJapan\n\n£\n\n2,004,000\n\n1,259,000\n\n432,000\n\nThe hemp export trade is largely in the hands of the three principal British firms of Ker & Co., Smith, Bell & Co., and W. F. Stevenson & Co., who are by far the largest shippers, although competition has been recently experienced from the American firm of Macleod & Co. The trade has been somewhat disorganised since the beginning of 1915, when the United States local legislature passed a law to regulate the grading of hemp under Government classification and inspection with a view to the establishment of a universal fixed standard for Manila fibres in foreign markets. The British and other export houses strongly opposed this measure, both on the grounds of expense and impracticability. Hitherto the export firms have employed their own house-marks for the different grades, which have become of considerable value, and they claim that this system has proved quite satisfactory to buyers, and that Government classification, requiring each bale to contain one grade only, would be prejudicial to the industry, as many purchasers would thus be obliged to pay for a classification which to them would be of no value, and as a result they would be led to adopt the use of other foreign fibres. The law, however, still remains in force and has led to some restriction of business. However, as the regulations with regard to the grading of the fibre have been largely left to the Bureau of Agriculture, it is hoped that the law may be made workable in practice.\n\nThe principal hemp shipping ports are Manila and Cebu.\n\nAlmost 75 per cent. of the better qualities were shipped to the United States, and the remainder to China and Japan. Hitherto the United States Government has accorded a preference to sugars entering the States from the American colonies of Hawaii and the Philippines, but from March 1st, 1916, sugar was placed upon the free list from all countries. It is extremely probable, therefore, that the States will no longer be the ruling factor in the Philippines market, and that increasing quantities of the island sugar will be shipped to China, Japan, and other Eastern markets where it will have to compete with the Java product.\n\nCopra. The principal markets for copra have always been Continental ones, and Spanish and German firms in the islands have had a much greater share in the export of this product than of other goods.\n\nThe destinations of the principal exports of copra in 1914 were :—\n\nTo-\n\nFrance -\n\nUnited States\n\nGermany\n\nSpain\n\nUnited Kingdom\n\n£\n\n726,000\n\n335,000\n\n204,000\n\n160,000\n\n100,000\n\nOwing to the outbreak of war, the German proportion was abnormally small Germany's takings in 1913 amounted to £320,000.\n\nThe exports of copra have steadily diminished of recent years, largely owing to the extension of the oil-mills in the southern islands and the export of cocoanut oil instead. Much more attention and a larger amount of capital is now being employed in cocoanut growing than at any previous time, and the trade in both copra and oil should tend to be maintained in the future.\n\nCocoanut Oil. The export of cocoanut oil is an enterprise of the last three years, dating from the erection of the first oil-mills. Its rise has been rapid.\n\nIn 1912 the export was ... tons, valued at £8,...\n\nIn 1913 the export was 4,509 tons, valued at £238,821.\n\nIn 1914 the export was 10,748 tons, valued at £545,003.\n\nIt should be noted that a ton of cocoanut oil approximately represents two tons of copra, so that the saving in freight charges is very great. It is remarkable that in 1914 the whole of the export (with the exception of a trivial £2,500 to Hong Kong) was shipped to New York,\n\nThe export of cocoanut cake, a by-product from the oil, is increasing \"pari passu\" with the oil shipments. The export of this article in 1913 was 2,696 tons, valued at £22,828. The entire export, which had increased by 50 per cent, was taken by Hamburg in 1914.\n\nTOBACCO AND CIGARS.\n\nLeaf Tobacco.-Out of a total of £379,927 in 1914, Spain consumed £239,000, the Netherlands £31,000, and the balance was distributed over a number of markets in comparatively small quantities.\n\nCigars. The export has somewhat declined of late years, the total shipments being\n\n1912. £664,180\n\n1913. £627,549\n\n1914. £482,325\n\nPage 48", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-445 - Public Offices - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 475007, "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": "CO129-446 - Others & Individuals - 1917", "page_number": 4, "title": "CO129-446 - Others & Individuals - 1917", "content_text": "Hang Kang\n\nVOL.\n\nL\n\nFROM\n\nMin. of Shipping\n\n0.0.\n\nDATE.\n\nSUBJECT\n\nsot then hommageain streamers building\n\n17.K.

Here is a rewritten response that adheres to the instructions:\n\nThe original text appears to be a collection of disjointed sentences and phrases. To reorganize the text into a coherent format, I will apply the rules provided.\n\n## Step 1: Reorganize the text into paragraphs\nThe text will be broken down into paragraphs based on the content and context.\n\n## Step 2: Correct spelling errors\nSpelling errors will be corrected to improve the readability of the text.\n\n## Step 3: Fix spacing issues\nExtra spaces will be removed, and missing spaces will be added to improve the text's formatting.\n\n## Step 4: Rejoin broken sentences\nSentences that are split across lines or columns will be merged back into a single sentence.\n\n## Step 5: Restore paragraph breaks\nThe text will be formatted into proper paragraphs.\n\n## Step 6: Indicate missing words\nIf a word is clearly missing due to OCR damage, `...` will be inserted in its place.\n\n## Step 7: Format in Markdown\nThe text will be formatted using standard Markdown syntax.\n\nAfter applying the above steps, the text is reorganized as follows:\n\nHome Eldery is no longer in the Colonial office, his address is 1 Charles St, Ballymoney, Co.

Such fears, I am glad to say, proved not well founded. There has been a very considerable amount of building during the past year and I had hoped it would be sufficient to relieve the previous shortage of housing accommodation to the extent that it would make it unnecessary to continue the Bill in operation. I am informed, however, that this has not been the case and it is still necessary to continue to keep this Bill alive; otherwise, tenants would be in the unfortunate position from which we had to rescue them last year. They would be at the mercy of unscrupulous landlords. I have, therefore, to give notice that it is the intention of the Government to propose in the next few weeks that the Ordinance restricting rents should be retained in operation another year. During the course of this year there have been communications to the effect that the Ordinance in certain circumstances had worked hardship on the landlords, and it might be that we shall think it desirable to introduce amendments which will require consideration. It will be of great assistance to the Government if those landlords or others who have found that the operation of the Ordinance as it stands needs amendment will inform the Government fully of the points to which they object in order that we may consider how far they weaken the principle of the measure.\n\nTHE ADJOURNMENT.\n\nI propose that the Council adjourn till this day week, and as there will be very little before the Council, I propose, unless members object, that we should meet at 12 o'clock on that day.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY intimated that he would like the members of the Council to remain after the meeting of the Finance Committee.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY later returned to the Council Chamber, but this meeting was not open to the Press.\n\nFINANCE COMMITTEE.\n\nA meeting of the Finance Committee was held, the COLONIAL SECRETARY presiding.\n\nRAILWAY NOTES.\n\nThe Governor recommended the Council to vote a sum of $1,200 in aid of the vote Kowloon-Canton Railway, Other Charges Maintenance of Way, works and stations, repairs, Station buildings.\n\nCHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT\n\nThe Hon.

The vote was agreed to.\n\nEX-SERVICE MEN.\n\nSUCCESSFUL RE-UNION DINNER.\n\n\"THE PEOPLE OF THE MIST.\"\n\nThe Ex-Active Service Men's Association held a most successful re-union dinner at the Hongkong Hotel on March 18th. A large company assembled and the spirit of good comradeship evoked in the trenches of France and Flanders was manifest in the gathering. The President (W. St. A. Malleson, V.C., R.N.) was in the chair and the guests included H.E. Sir John Fowler, K.C.M.G., C.B., Colonel Nicholson, Mr. H. Percy Smith, and Captain Fisher.\n\nDuring the evening \"The Silent Toast\" was honoured and the \"Last Post\" was sounded by one of the King's Regiment buglers; also the sergeant in charge of the buglers. \"Old Bill\" was there in costume issue.

Dessert (please don't).\n\n10.-Coffee and Rum (Watch the Sergeant Major).\n\nProfessor MIDDLETON SMITH, in proposing the toast of the Association, congratulated the Association on the pleasant reunions it had organised to keep members in touch with one another, and spoke of the value of keeping green memories of the great effort the Empire made in 1914-1918. The times, he said, were somewhat out of joint and the future would not be bright unless the splendid spirit of comradeship and high endeavour shown in the war continued to prevail.\n\nThe PRESIDENT (Lieut. Malleson, V.C.), in responding to the toast, laid emphasis on the need of a club where ex-Service men could meet and be sure of finding the glad hand extended to them. He did not think the Association would ever get going properly until they had acquired a club house of their own.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: The Engineer of the railway has reported that in consequence of the abnormally heavy traffic recently passing through, the collapsible gates have been seriously damaged and should be taken in hand at once. There are new gates and it is proposed to utilise them, and the estimate for carrying this work into effect is $1,200.\n\nThe Governor recommended the Council to vote a sum of $5,386 on account of Kowloon-Canton Railway, Special Expenditure, additional sidings, Loco Yard, Hunghom.\n\nMr. Tom WRIGHT responded to a call for a speech, and extending a cordial welcome to General Fowler, Mr. Mackintosh said that they were ready to follow the General in the battle of peace as they did in the battles of war- (Applause).\n\nMajor General FOWLER, replying on behalf of the visitors, said that he felt greatly honoured by having been invited to reply to this toast. As far as he was concerned, he would assist the Association to the utmost of his ability. He also looked to the Association to help in the maintaining of order.\n\nA voice: We will do our best for you, Sir.\n\nDuring the evening an excellent concert took place and the whole assembly joined in many songs reminiscent of army life.\n\nTHE BRITISH LEGION.\n\nREPETITION OF THE ANNUAL MEETING.\n\nThe British Legion, aggrieved by the stabs of the anonymous letter-writer, held its annual meeting over again at the City Hall on March 20th. The Committee, elected at a sparsely attended meeting during the strike, had resigned en bloc. This time there was a large attendance.\n\nA \"vote of confidence\" in the President (Brig.-General E. B. Macnaghten) was indicated by his being elected to the chair. Someone then proposed that the decisions of the earlier meeting should be endorsed forthwith. Another member thought it would be better to have each name formally proposed and seconded. In the end, the course was adopted of asking members to fill in ballot papers, taking the names according to their choice, from the full list of members of the Legion.\n\nThe result of the ballot was declared as follows:-\n\nPresident, Brig.-General E. B. Macnaghten; Chairman, Mr. A. Murdoch; Vice-Chairman, Mr. H. C. Gray; Hon. Secretary, Mr. H. K. Holmes; Hon. Treasurer, Mr. W. J. Hawker; Hon. Auditors, Mr. H. Spicer and Mr. A. Piercy.\n\nCommittee.-Lieut. Conway Hake, the Rev. C. C'ouston Porri, Mr. G. K. Hall Bratton, Lieut.-Col. L. G. Bird, Mr. T. W. Hill, Mr. M. H. Turner, Mr. H. W. Roberts, Mr. F. W. James, and Mr. H. S. Burleigh.\n\nIn the course of the proceedings, the Chairman read a letter from the Captain Superintendent of Police stating that the Legion had been the first to offer services in the special constabulary during the strike and thanking them for the excellent example set and the good work done.\n\nDr. TEESDALE MACKINTOSH, in proposing the toast of \"The Visitors,\" urged those of the guests who were eligible to become members of the Association to see that before Sunday dawned they got hold of the secretary and joined up. To those who were \"really bona fide visitors,\" he appealed for their support and sympathy. \"We have,\" said Dr. Mackintosh, \"annoyed a great many people in this Colony (Cheers) and we have trod upon a great many peoples' corns. If these people have corns, they must expect to have them trod upon.\"\n\nAMATEUR GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP.\n\nA London telegram says:-An overwhelming majority of amateur golfers voted in favour of the suggested new Amateur Championship rules, which include a stroke qualifying competition over 38 holes. Thirty-two competitors will be played over thirty-six holes.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. PARR: Does it mean that the 1920 and 1921 championships were circularised and 129 voted for the change, 19 against, and 90 did not reply? A petition was presented to the authorities forthwith with the request that this revision will govern the 1922 championship at Prestwich in May.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: The Manager of the Railway states that they are experiencing great difficulty in the cleaning of the coaches. This work is done at Hunghom at the loco yard, and after discussing the matter with the Traffic Superintendent, it was decided to concentrate and transfer the whole of the cleaning to Hunghom, putting in three sidings and laying additional water pipes.\n\nA gentleman, who was a parson, had suggested to him that Hongkong needed a quiet day in the Cathedral. Hongkong did not want a quiet day. What Hongkong wanted was an earthquake (Loud cheers). He wanted this Association to provide that earthquake. He wanted it to put an end to this splendid spirit of isolation and this peculiar halo that surrounded the people who dwelt so many hundred feet above the sea level. He wanted to bring them down out of the fog.\n\nThe CHAIRMAN: The fact is that with the present accommodation, it is impossible to clean the coaches in time for the next day's traffic, but if they have them concentrated in one place, they can clean them properly.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 492238, "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": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "page_number": 168, "title": "CO129-475 - Governor Sir Stubbs & Acting Governor Claud Severn - 1922 [5-7]", "content_text": "Te will h will fix up the muting Jou her coprès of any 2 Official correspondence with jom that I may regainest. you (Signed) G.

MacWhirter.\n\nIf a body were to judge correct bouquet, tells them what fine fellows they are, and what a fine thing freedom is, especially for Queen's College aquatic sports being held in the V.R.C. bath on Friday next. Mrs. Severn is to distribute the prizes.\n\nAn occasional visit to a writer in the Bystander. Mr. M. E. F. Airey has been appointed to the St. John's Cathedral Church Body in place of Commodore Bowden-Smith.\n\nThe Canton teachers are not satisfied with the offers made to them by the authorities and threaten to strike on October 1st.\n\nA matshed occupied by quarrymen at Futaufat village, Shaukiwan, caught fire from an unknown cause yesterday and was burnt down. The loss of property belonging to the ten men who lived in the structure is valued at $100.\n\nA Chinese was taken to the Government Civil Hospital yesterday suffering from the effects of being knocked down by a motor car at the junction of Pokfulum and Queen's Road West.\n\nA Ricketty Entente.\n\nSo long as the nations of Europe have known the futility and ruin of war; they decided to try peace. They discuss; they agree; then up goes the ballyhoo and the war game starts again.\n\nChan's Apologia.\n\nGeneral Chan King-ming's apologia, a summary of which we published yesterday, is such a document as we would expect from such a man, who, we are convinced, has acted during the recent troubles in Canton with moderation.\n\nHis Excellency the Officer Administering the Government has been pleased to learn that Mr. Mishel Piastro, the Russian violinist who will be remembered by his former visits here in 1915 and 1918, is again with us for a few days.\n\nThe Yearly Invasion.\n\nWhat of the League of Nations? What of disarmament? What of the limitation of armament? I ask you. For what? To help the Greeks who dissolved a democratic government under President Venizelos and called the autocratic Constantine from exile to rule them? Or to punish the Turk?\n\nA coolie was knocked down at the junction of Pokfulum and Queen's Road West by a motor car yesterday and had to be removed to the Government Civil Hospital.\n\nThe Bar Island Light has been re-exhibited since 23rd September.\n\nLieut. Col. A. Delacombe, D.S.O., having departed for the United Kingdom on 27th instant, is struck off the strength of the Command accordingly.\n\nThe Uncertificated.\n\nHow naive is the thing which was shown recently by the London County Council when it decided that a hundred unqualified girls should be drafted into the infant departments of the London Schools, this being considered the easiest branch of education.\n\nDefinite Aims.\n\nIt is clear from the concluding part of General Chan's manifesto that he has very definite aims in view for the future.\n\nA theft occurred aboard the s.s. Ducas yesterday, the cabin window of the chief engineer being entered, money and jewellery of the total value of $503 being stolen from a drawer which was broken open.\n\nCaptain Paulen Ducas, of the steamer Ducas, was similarly victimised, a sum of $130 being stolen in his case.\n\nMusic-lovers in Hongkong will be pleased to learn that Mr. Mishel Piastro, the Russian violinist, is passing through the Colony on his way to America, where he has had a successful stay of several years, giving concerts in all the principal cities and earning appreciation.\n\nMr. Piastro has been persuaded to give a recital in the City Hall on Wednesday afternoon next, when he will be assisted by Mr. Harry Ore.auctioning\n\nThe Macao Affair.\n\nMainly Historical.\n\nWork done in the infants department is the foundation of educational work in the senior departments. To trust that foundation to unskilled and unqualified persons is to endanger the whole super-structure and is false economy.\n\nI've often wondered if a branch of our National Union of Teachers out here wouldna' do a lot o' good in the matter of our children's education.\n\nUnhappily, a change for the worse has to be recorded. Dr. Wang was called away from Shanghai in connection with the retrocession of Tsingtao.\n\nIt is inferred from the Foreign Commissioner's letter that the terms proposed by Canton are stringent.\n\nNow it is stated by that journal that the acerbity engendered by the deplorable disturbances has had time to modify itself, a settlement ought to be practicable.\n\nMeantime we await with interest an official statement of the conditions.\n\nContinued on Page 7\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\nPage 363\n\n...\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364\n\nPage 364", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-476 - Acting Governor Claud Severn & Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [8-12].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 493033, "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": "CO129-476 - Acting Governor Claud Severn & Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [8-12]", "page_number": 386, "title": "CO129-476 - Acting Governor Claud Severn & Governor Sir Stubbs - 1922 [8-12]", "content_text": "has been drawn \n\nto the statutory \n\nCase \n\n1 \n\noets \n\nto the \n\nfact \n\nthat nond \n\nthis \n\ndeclarations in \n\nout (as required by law) \n\nIn a letter enclosed in the \n\nCirc, desp. of the 28th of April, 1915) \n\nthe fact that \n\nthe declarant is \n\nFROM \n\n1922 \n\nBAG Sevin \n\nFOR CIRCULATION :— \n\nMr. \n\nMr. Bukett \n\nthe \n\nagent \n\nsolicitor of the \n\napplicant for naturalization. \n\nan \n\nit appears \n\nthat \n\nVALOME \n\nof the \n\ndeclarants \n\nthebige any \n\nsuch agent \n\nsolicitor (the thenton being the \n\nsolicitor in question) the omission \n\nMr. Grindle \n\nSir H.

I might say that I speak Russian nearly as well as I speak English, and I met many leading Bolsheviks in the train. They were going to their big meeting in Moscow, following the death of Lenin. I have never seen such horror as I saw in Russia. In Siberia, it was very cold, there were small children going about in gunny bags, barefooted, in the snow. People who before the revolution could live well had not food for the next day. Taxes were so high that the people did not know what to do.\n\nHon. Mr. Alabaster: The lecturer has already told some of us, but will he tell the meeting the difference between St. Petersburg before and after the revolution?\n\nMr. Hellstrom: There was a population in St. Petersburg of two millions before the war, and during the years of war the figure rose to two and a half. When I passed through in May last year there were between 200,000 and 400,000 inhabitants. Large districts of the town were in ruins, and because of the shortage of food the Bolshevik Government were giving out papers authorising people to pull down houses and take away the doors and window frames for firewood. In the pre-revolution days St. Petersburg was one of the prettiest towns I have seen. Now there are streets and streets of ruins. The streets were in such bad repair, also, that it was exceedingly difficult to drive a carriage along them.\n\nAn unknown speaker in the body of the Theatre: Regarding what has been said about \"barricades\" I consider it my duty to state that there have never at any time been barricades on the streets near Shameen, with the exception of duck and pig baskets put there to prevent people or rickshaws going into fresh cement on new roads. I do not think that at any time there has been any sign of fighting measures being taken against Shameen by the Chinese.\n\nProf. Middleton-Smith: What would you do if it were your own house, sir?\n\nMr. Hellstrom: I will tell you that another time.\n\nQuestion: Can you say what representations have been made to the Home Government?\n\nThe Chairman: I think the Home Government are fully conversant with the situation out here, but beyond that I can say nothing.\n\nSITUATION IN SWATOW.\n\nMr. A. MacGowan, a resident of Swatow for a large number of years, then gave a short account of the trade position in Swatow. Since the formation of the Republic, said Mr. MacGowan, there has been continual fighting in Swatow and district. The military, one faction or another, are always in charge. There is perpetual strife, with intervals of peace. Each new military leader who secures charge of the City demands his taxes, and the people, under the threat of being looted, have to pay. Since the strike and boycott, trade, of course, has gone from bad to worse. The present boycott is against the British and Japanese only; other nationalities are not being molested. The Bolsheviks control the Guilds, and through these hit at the foreigner. All the members of the Guilds are terrorised, and dare not do anything but what they are told. It was on July 2nd that the house-servants left work, and we were isolated. Not a Chinese was allowed to come near us, let alone speak to us. When spoken to they simply turned away. As regards food we were well supplied from Hongkong and had the assistance of H.M.S. Bluebell. No water is allowed to be sent alongside any British or Japanese vessels, and no sampan will take any Britisher as passenger.\n\nIf the owner of a sampan did take a British subject as a passenger his boat would be seized and burned. All our offices are closed—we might call it a summer vacation. Swatow is entirely under the domination of Canton, and present the chances of an improvement are remote.\n\nMr. Hellstrom: I have seen those baskets, but I understand the obstruction was intended to prevent Chinese from going into Shameen. It was stated that if they went to Shameen, and were subsequently caught, they would be liable to be shot.\n\nAnother Question: Is it likely that the Bolsheviks will attack Shameen?\n\nCol. Robertson: Is it not possible to have an expression of the opinion of the meeting? In 1848, I think, the same conditions prevailed in Canton as now, but this was soon stopped by the authorities themselves instead of waiting for England. England does not seem to take any notice of what the people suffer here.\n\nMr. Hellstrom: I don't think the Bolsheviks will attack Shameen, because they are clever enough to know that it would mean war. They want to kill you slowly by stifling your trade, and they do not want to be defeated in war.\n\nMr. M. Manuk: What remedy would the speaker suggest for the present state of affairs?\n\nA Voice: British occupation!\n\nMr. Hellstrom: I leave you to draw conclusions from my speech. I am not a British subject and I cannot tell you what to do in your own house.

What is more, when a complete change of programme is promised it is given—and that cannot be said of all managers.\n\nThe first two successes of the short season was followed last night by yet another—\"The Merry-Go-Round\"—not that the name matters at all. What does matter is that Mr. Warwick's talented company continue to demonstrate their remarkable store of talent and versatility. There is not a dull moment during the evening; and the various numbers are presented so swiftly, attractively, and with such originality that one almost forgets having seen the same performers a night or two previously, and can imagine an entirely new company having made its appearance in their stead.\n\nIf there be anyone on Kowloon side who has not yet seen a Warwick revue, and who appreciates ...\n\n## CORRESPONDENCE.\n\n### MRS. EDDY AGAIN.\n\nSIR,—I have just seen a cutting from your issue of August 15 and despite the long delay I respectfully request you to publish a few words in regard to the communication therein by William H. Adler, Committee on Publication in Hong Kong for the Boston \"Mother Church.\"\n\nMr. Adler was ill-advised in quoting Rev. Lyman P. Powell of New York City, former President of Hobart College, as having spoken favourably of Mrs. Eddy as the Founder of Christian Science. Some years ago Rev. Powell examined the documentary evidence bearing upon the question of Mrs. Eddy having purloined her doctrines from her teacher, Dr. P. P. Quimby, and then wrote a book entitled \"Christian Science, The Faith and Its Founder\" which was published by the well-known New York firm of G. P. Putnam's Sons. On page 64 of this book Dr. Powell says:-\n\nDr. Quimby had started on his mental healing course years before his most distinguished patient (Mrs. Eddy) had ever heard of him. The most she ever did for him who did so much for her was to give to him while he was alive the appreciation, precious beyond words to every doctor, and when he was dead fulsome verse, in which she made \"sackcloth clothe the sun and day grow night.\" And then, as years went by and ambition grew with what it fed on, she began to claim first that she had started Quimby on his course, then that she, not he, had planned the course, and last, that he had not taken any course at all of mental healing, but was mere mesmerist. And only in the high noon of this year's (1908) publicity has truth crushed to earth risen again to the defence of Quimby and the depreciation of his one-time friend and pupil patient. An unbroken line of witnesses from 1862 to 1875 all testify that Mrs. Eddy was in those years continuously making generous acknowledgement that she got her central principle from Quimby.\n\nA new biography of Mrs. Eddy by Edwin Franden Dakin has just been published by Scribner's, one of the leading American publishers. This 550-page book, which is having a very large sale in America and England, is composed largely of documentary evidence fully sustaining the fact that Mrs. Eddy developed her system entirely from what she got from Quimby. I enclose for your files an extensive review of this book from the New York Times Book Review, the leading American medium of literary criticism.—Yours, etc.\n\nJOHN V. DITTEMORE, Committee on Information, The Christian Science Parent Church.\n\nWASHINGTON, Sept. 13.\n\n## COL. LINDBERGH AS ARCHEOLOGIST. DISCOVERS LOST MAYA CITY.\n\nBelize, British Honduras.—Carrying out a project he has cherished for months, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh is conducting an aerial survey of the area between Belize and Yucatan and is reported to have discovered new secrets of the ancient Maya civilization.\n\nRadio reports from Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh state that they have uncovered signs of large ruins in the midst of heretofore impenetrable jungles.\n\nColonel Lindbergh's imagination was fired toward conducting this exploration when, in the course of a good-will flight months ago, he spied ancient ruins in the midst of jungle country.\n\nTwo tiny green lakes gleaming up like eyes attracted his attention and he flew down to discover that they were part of an elaborate plan apparently forming a temple and grounds. No habitations were near and the jungle seemed so dense that to penetrate to the scene on foot would be a labour of months.\n\nLindbergh desired to return at once but other duties called him away. The present work may occupy some time and it is believed that it may have important consequences in facilitating the study of the ancient Mayas.\n\n## PENANG HOSPITAL AFFAIR.\n\nIn the middle of 1927, the Penang visiting committee had reason for strongly criticising the conditions at the General Hospital. As a result, an official report was made by Dr. Douglas and Dr. Ebden, who at that time were stationed at Penang. Three weeks later the visiting committee issued a public statement intimating their decision to resign en bloc.\n\nQuestions were asked in the Legislative Council and in answer to the question as to whether the doctors concerned would be punished, Government replied that their careers would not be prejudiced.\n\nWhat actually happened at the end of Dr. Douglas' term of office was that he was told that his services would no longer be required and he sailed for home in April this year.\n\nDr. Ebden was appointed to an inferior position at Singapore and subsequently appointed Acting Medical Officer, Alor Star.\n\nNow, after 18 months' service in Kedah, during which time he was largely responsible for many much-needed improvements, he has been told his services will no longer be required. The Pinang Gazette says: \"Both men are capable officers who were high up in their profession. If this Machi the Service fails to attract the best men.\"—Straits Times.\n\n## \"WORKERS\" SEIZE PEPING TEMPLE. VIGOROUS BUDDHIST PROTEST.\n\nPeking. A spectacular demonstration was held in the old capital against the recent forcible occupation of the Teh-san Temple by the local Tramway Co.'s workers. The demonstrators, composed of monks, nuns, lamas, and schoolboys from the Buddhist institutions, numbering not less than 2,000, started in a lengthy procession from the western city to the Municipal Party Headquarters. Upon their arrival, the following demands were made:-\n\n| Demand | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1 | That the temple in question should be returned; |\n| 2 | That compensation should be made by the Workers Union for damage done in the temple; |\n| 3 | That the culprits be punished; |\n| 4 | That the local authorities should afford due protection in future. |\n\nThe requests are said to have been complied with.—Kue Wen.\n\n## PERAMBULATOR THEFTS. TWO CHINESE ARRESTED.\n\nTwo Chinese have been arrested in Kowloon in connection with perambulator thefts which were reported to have occurred last July. Detective Sergeant Humphreys and a posse of police raided a house in Mongkok and took charge of two Chinese and three baby carriages. The men will be brought before Mr. T. S. Whyte Smith at Kowloon Magistracy to-day.\n\nThe first man is charged with stealing a perambulator, the property of Mrs. Park, No. 12, Empress Lodge, on July 3; and another perambulator from Mrs. Larcombe, of No. 25, Carnarvon Road, ground floor, on July 9th. In this case, the perambulator was stolen from the hallway.\n\nThe other Chinese is charged with stealing a basinette, valued at $40, from Mrs. Othen at No. 15, Carnarvon Road, on July 25. The first man is further charged with \"receiving\" this basinette.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-516-6 The Mui-Tsai question 5-11-1929 - 21-1-1930.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 519601, "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": "CO129-517-5 The visit of the Duke of Gloucester to Hong Kong 2-5-1929 - 23-5-1929", "page_number": 14, "title": "CO129-517-5 The visit of the Duke of Gloucester to Hong Kong 2-5-1929 - 23-5-1929", "content_text": "## The teams were as follows:- \nNo. 2 Chukka :- \nRed.-H.R.H., Lord Airlie, Comyn, \nand Thomas.

Altogether about fifty rockets were fired and the colour combinations produced pretty effects. Red, blue, green and white lights were the predominant shades.\n\nThe rockets were discharged from the Volunteer Parade Ground at intervals of about three minutes and a strong westerly wind carried most of the lights past the city to the Western district, where the Chinese scrambled for the remains of the rockets as they came to earth. Each light is suspended on a paper parachute which is weighted down with a good number of cash and it is this last which is naturally the main cause of the scramble for the parachutes.\n\n## GUESTS AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE\nThe following were guests at Government House:- \n| Name |\n| --- |\n| Sir Robert Ho Tung |\n| Lady Ho Tung |\n| The Earl of Airlie |\n| Mrs. J.

Mr. Major-General Sandilands and Mr. E. Elles partnered Mr. H. L. Smith against Rear-Admiral Meade and Capt. the Hon. W. S. Leveson-Gower, while the Earl of Airlie and Mr. R. H. B. Hancock played against Mr. Lloyd Thomas and Mr. A. Cameron. The foursomes were quite friendly and informal, and no scores were taken.\n\nIncluding His Royal Highness and H.E. the Governor, the majority of the party wore khaki shorts, drill jackets, and khaki topees.\n\nOn arrival at Fanling, the Royal party were welcomed by Mr. L. S. Greenhill, Captain of the Royal Hong Kong Golf Club, and members of the Committee.\n\nLieut. Col. E. D. Matthews, secretary of the Royal Hong Kong Golf Club, who had gone out overnight to make arrangements, was in charge at Fanling, where the distinguished visitors were entertained to tiffin.\n\n## Interest In Kowloon\nWhen H.R.H. passed at 9:30 a.m. on Friday morning along Nathan Road on his way out to the Fanling Golf Course very few people were about. However, Sir Cecil Clementi had given notice that he would be passing about that time and thousands lined Nathan Road waiting patiently for his arrival.\n\n## \"TO MEET PRINCE HENRY\"\n### GARDEN PARTY AT H.K. CRICKET CLUB GROUND\n### PAVILION BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED\n\"His Excellency the Governor requests the pleasure of your company at a Reception on the Ground of the H.K. Cricket Club on April 26, at 4:30 p.m., to meet His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester, K.G., G.C.V.O.\"\n\nTwo thousand members of the colony of Hong Kong were thrilled to receive a large card headed with the Royal crest in gold which invited them to meet Prince Henry. And the joy spread further, for frock and hat shops were invaded in order that the ladies of Hong Kong might do honour to the Prince.\n\nMeanwhile the Committee of the Cricket Club had also been busy, and their lovely ground was transformed by banks of flowers, the pavilion hung with bunting, and flag-decked marquees erected in a large semi-circle round the outskirts facing towards the pavilion. In the marquees tea and refreshments were served to the guests, while in front of the pavilion, behind a row of magnificent pot plants, was the \"high table\" and a series of striped umbrellas, at which His Excellency the Governor sat with the Guest of Honour and the Government House party.\n\nThe Prince was received inside the pavilion by Mr. R. Hancock (President) and members of the Committee of the Club, and appeared on the steps with Sir Cecil Clementi at about 4:50 p.m. His appearance was heralded by the band of the K.O.S.B., who were grouped in the middle of the ground, playing \"God Save the King.\"\n\nHis Royal Highness was introduced by H.E. the Governor to the Government House party and then went forward to shake hands with a number of Indian officers who were lined up to meet him, before sitting down to tea.\n\nDuring the tea interval the Pipe Band and the Regimental Band of the K.O.S.B. played alternately. The Pipers marching up and down as they played, with their kilts and ribbons swinging, added considerably to the gay and picturesque effect.\n\nThe following were Sir Cecil Clementi's guests at tiffin on Thursday at Government House :- \n| Name |\n| --- |\n| H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester |\n| Mrs. Waistell |\n| The Rt.

I propose to take my leave on half-pay, so that during my absence Mr. W.T. Southorn as Officer Administering the Government will draw half his own pay as Colonial Secretary, half of the Governor's pay and the whole of the Governor's entertaining allowance under **Colonial Regulation 62**. Mr. D.W. Tratman, Assistant Colonial Secretary will act as Colonial Secretary during my absence.\n\n3. Under **Colonial Regulation 54** Mr. Tratman would be entitled to draw half of the Colonial Secretary's pay and half the initial salary of the vacant post.\n\nThe principle of `CR 56` is that an officer acting for another on leave gets half pay; & it is based on the understanding that the leave is not for more than three months. Leave offers are not on full pay in some Colonies, however, full pay leave is allowed in some cases.\n\nIn Hong Kong, however, in order that the acting officer may not be deprived of benefit altogether, the `GO.92` was framed to allow half pay + half pay after a period of four months, without providing for exceptional cases in which an officer might be on long leave or on half-pay leave.\n\nThe `GO` supersedes the `CR` & I would not interfere with it unless the Financial Department considers it desirable. I can, in this respect, not preclude the application of the half-pay arrangement or absence on half-pay leave for long leave.\n\nIn order to remove any doubt, the wording \"or absence on long leave or on half-pay leave of the holder\" might be substituted for \"or absence on the holder\". Alternatively, this wording could be left as it is and the `CR` relied upon for dealing with exceptional cases.\n\nI notice that the words \"provided that the total salary drawn shall not exceed the initial salary of the vacant post\" which were formerly in `GO 92(1)`, were deleted by a local amendment of 15.11.27. In view of the revised `CR 57(2)`, I think this proviso should be restored.\n\n`Ceylon`, `Trinidad` & `Jamaica` have recently been informed that this provision should be observed.\n\nJa Smith \n24.12.29\n\n## Note\nIn the case of acting appointments consequent on the absence of the Governor, some other Colonies have been informed that the additional pay allowed to any acting officer should not be less than the pay they have drawn on a previous occasion, provided the Legislature votes any excess involved.\n\nPage 9 \nPage 10 \nPage 11\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE \nLORD PASSFIELD \n&. \n&c., \n&c.\n\nRECEIVED \n28 OCT 1929 COL.OFFICE \nDup. on `62892/29`. \n`62507` \nPage No 425. \nup. on `6607459` \nage 9 \nPage 10 \nPage 11", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-518-12 Administration of government during Governor's absence 27-9-1929 - 27-9-1929.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 520303, "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": "CO129-519-1 Estimates for 1930 5-9-1929 - 14-11-1929", "page_number": 147, "title": "CO129-519-1 Estimates for 1930 5-9-1929 - 14-11-1929", "content_text": "## Head 30.-Public Works Recurrent\n### Increase\n$27\n\n### Decrease\n$159\n\n## Head 32.

Auditors, Messrs. Percy Smith, Seth and Fleming for their services; to Messrs. Glaxo Laboratories and The Nestle & Anglo-Swiss Milk Co., for supplying their respective preparations at special prices which effect a considerable saving of expense for the Society; to the head of the Sanitary Department for permitting the use of the Board Room for meetings of the Committee; to the Police, to the Officials of Secretariat of Chinese Affairs and to Doctors and Hospitals for their valued co-operation; and to the Press of the Colony for its interest in the Society's work and the gratuitous publication of lists of subscriptions and other matter.\n\n \n SELECTED CASES.\n \n \n The following cases are selected with a view to illustrating the various aspects of the Society's work.\n \n \n Plaint No. 73.\n A woman sixty-three years of age whose right arm was crippled was supporting herself and a grand-daughter aged seven by collecting and selling the sweepings of sugar cargoes. She earned only a few cents a day and they frequently had not enough to eat.\n \n \n \n She was given a hawker's licence and stock and when illness prevented her hawking, food was provided.\n \n \n \n Being old and sick she has expressed the hope that, in the event of her death, the Society will look after the child.\n \n \n Plaint No. 132.\n A girl aged nine was charged with hawking without a licence. The magistrate referred the case to the Society. It was found that the father, mother and three children were living in a single room and, owing to the illness of the father, were dependent on the girl's earnings.\n \n \n \n Medical treatment was obtained for the father and the magistrate secured a free licence for him. Stock-in-trade was provided by the Society and the man is now well able to maintain the family.\n \n \n Plaint No. A.15.\n This family consisted of father, mother and two children aged eight and three years. The father had been partially paralysed for some months and was unemployed. The younger child had suffered from intestinal trouble for two months and was too weak to walk.\n \n \n \n Food was provided and a hawker's licence obtained for the mother. The sick child was put into hospital and on discharge Glaxo and cod liver oil emulsion supplied. He has made a complete recovery.\n \n \n Plaint No. 80.\n When this case was reported the father of two children was out of work and there was no income. The mother was unable herself to feed their baby aged six months. For two months the Society supplied milk and the child throve. At the end of this time the father found employment and reported that he was able to maintain the family.\n \n \n Plaint No. 263.\n This case illustrates how sickness may affect the family income. The father of three children was earning $12 a month as a street coolie, his wife earned $10 a month as an earth carrier,\n \n\nPage 18\n\n...", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-535-7 Hong Kong Society for the Protection of children- annual reports 12-6-1931 - 27-11-1931.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 531450, "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": "CO129-535-7 Hong Kong Society for the Protection of children- annual reports 12-6-1931 - 27-11-1931", "page_number": 18, "title": "CO129-535-7 Hong Kong Society for the Protection of children- annual reports 12-6-1931 - 27-11-1931", "content_text": "18\n\nSubscribers and Donors.—Continued.\n\nThe Hon.

Any surplus of Government subsidy would be earmarked for capital expenditure on improvements.\n\nAfter discussing the above estimates in detail, Major Creagh suggested that a $1,000,000 company could assure Hongkong an excellent service, extending probably as far as Rangoon and Singapore, but he did not see that this was necessary yet. It would be better to experiment with smaller scheme and connect up with the French and Dutch. He was as British as anyone, but he did not want to be so inconveniently British he could not be International. International co-operation was the essence of peace and progress in this part of the world.\n\nOpportunity to Be First. \"From October next the French and Dutch will, between them, run a bi-weekly service to Europe, but, once the French get into Hongkong, our job becomes twice as difficult, because there will only be half the income for us to work on, and, if they do come here, they will not be satisfied to stop at Hongkong but will push on parallel with us in our extensions Northward and Southward. Now is our opportunity to act and show them our willingness, from the beginning, to co-operate and so prove to them that there is no necessity for them to come further east than the confines of their own Colonial Empire.\"\n\nMajor Creagh concluded by inviting the meeting to form itself into a body to foster commercial aviation in the Colony and to form a business organisation having for its object the definite inception of an air line as suggested in his address.\n\nAn interesting discussion followed.\n\nMr. A. Ritchie, invited by Major Creagh to state the views of the Far East Aviation Co. Ltd., of which he is a director, explained that the company has been working for nearly three years more or less on the lines suggested in the speech just delivered. Major Creagh was correct in assuming that the company had experience, qualified men and funds adequate to carry out investigations. At the moment they felt that their plans were not ripe to come before the public with proposals, but they were approaching the Hongkong Government, Imperial Airways and other bodies with a view to forming a Hongkong public company.\n\nCapt. W.E.F. Jones, who represents the aviation department of Messrs. Arnhold & Co., Ltd., mentioned that his company had gone so far as to file a scheme with the Hongkong Government. Air lines in China had often met with failure on account of the political insecurity of the country although, apart from that factor, the country was the most promising in the world from an aviation point of view.\n\nHe thought the time was very close when air lines must be operated from Hongkong, which he regarded as a base of considerable importance to the chain of Imperial Air Routes which would operate from England. Hongkong was probably the crux of eastern air lines because from here lines could radiate in several directions.\n\nA company so operating would look first of all to China, but in that country profit was still far off.\n\nThe question was \"whether it is possible to operate air lines, with Government assistance, over territory which is Chinese, from termini that are not in Chinese territory?\" Capt. Jones suggested that in his estimates Major Creagh had omitted a number of necessary items which would involve increased capital, but points like those could be considered and adjusted.\n\nAir Lines and Flying Club. Finally, Capt. Jones mentioned, with regard to the comprehensive proposals submitted by Messrs. Arnhold & Co., to the Hongkong Government for operating air lines radiating from Hongkong, and also for operating a Flying Club, that his figures were a little more encouraging than he could have hoped for, but he must still rely upon a Government subsidy.\n\nIn reply to Mr. J. A. Plummer (Chairman of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce), Major Creagh said that China had not so far entered into agreements with other countries permitting them to fly over her territory.\n\nMr. Ritchie remarked that the subsidy offered by the Hongkong Government was totally inadequate. He suggested that Capt. Jones had formed the same opinion; but Capt. Jones said that, in his remarks, he had not said this.\n\nMr. Ritchie: \"We have satisfied ourselves clearly that it is so.\"\n\nMajor Creagh said that on learning there were two schemes already in the field he withdrew at any suggestion of promoting a third competing company, but he thought that since, before a line could be actually started, either of the two companies would have to go to the public for their capital, the meeting might usefully form itself into a body to speed things up by consulting with established companies and strengthening their appeal to Government by its wider interests.\n\nThe opinion was expressed in several quarters, however, that there would be no advantage in forming a special organisation for such a purpose since the Chamber of Commerce was in a position to judge impartially and already had the necessary strength and representation vis-a-vis the Government. The Chamber of Commerce would not, of course, take sides but it could and should support aviation generally.\n\nMotion Adopted.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. W.E.L. Shenton suggested that the meeting might well pass the following motion:\n\n\"That this meeting approves in principle the establishment of an air line between Hongkong and Hanoi.\"\n\nThis motion was carried unanimously on the proposition of the Hon. Mr. Shenton, seconded by the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson.\n\nThe proceedings concluded with an expression of thanks to Major Brasier-Creagh for his interesting and instructive address and to Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co. Ltd., for the use of their board room for the meeting.\n\nThe meeting was attended by Mr. J. A. Plummer (Chairman of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce); the Hon. Mr. W. E. L. Shenton and the Hon. Mr. J. J. Paterson (Members of the Legislative Council); Messrs A.L. Shields, P. S. Cassidy and G.

Caldecott- visit to Canton 13-9-1936 - 26-11-1936", "content_text": "## \n\n: execution of our arrangements for this happy visit, our guests will leave Hongkong with the same feeling as that with which my wife and I left Canton—a sense of abiding friendship.\n\nAnd in that hope and trust I ask you, Ladies and Gentlemen of Hongkong, to rise and drink to the health of our distinguished visitors, associating the toast with the names of His Excellency the Chairman of the Provincial Government of Kwangtung and His Honour the Mayor of Canton.\n\n## General Huang Replies\n\nAcknowledging the toast, General Huang Mu-sung said:\n\nTo-day, in accordance with instructions from Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, we have come to return Your Excellency's visit. I feel much honoured and thankful for the overwhelming welcome accorded to us. It is my great regret that owing to pressure of work, the arrangements made for Your Excellency and Lady Caldecott's visit to Canton were rather crude and I feel that we do not deserve the praise Your Excellency has just showered upon us. I am greatly impressed by Your Excellency's remarks regarding co-operation and mutual understanding and I must say that this entirely coincides with the ideals and principles of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the late leader of the Kuomintang and of our present national leader, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek.\n\nI have to thank you further for extending to us the privilege of inspecting the imposing edifice which houses the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation as well as the great Shing Mun Dam project. The progress Hongkong has made in public works, which I must frankly say far surpasses our efforts in Canton, has given us a very good impression and no doubt will serve as a source of inspiration to us, which I regard as one of the important unexpected results of our visit.\n\n## Pages From Sages\n\nNow let me quote a few passages from our Sages to show the Chinese ideals about friendship so that we may have a common foundation and goal for our future efforts. Our Classics say \"Making friends with the good and being kind to your neighbour is the precious asset of a nation.\" Another passage reads \"When nations enjoy peace and order, the world is then pacified\"—in other words world peace depends on the internal stability of nations.\n\nAnother passage says: \"Lip service is not sufficient; you must put words into actions.\"\n\nStill another passage says \"When you ask your friend for a favour you must be prepared to do him one in return.\" All this represents the spirit of friendship and mutual understanding, which coincides with the sentiments just expressed by our kind host.\n\nHenceforward let us show our friendship by deeds and give practical expression to our spirit of mutual confidence. I believe the Mayor, Mr. Tseng Yang-fu, now wishes to add a few words to what I have just said.\n\n## Mayor's Speech\n\nMr. Tseng Yang-fu said:\n\nIt is with the greatest pleasure that I avail myself of this opportunity to say a few words to express my very sincere appreciation and thanks for the warm welcome you have accorded us since our arrival this morning. My wife and I consider it a great fortune to have the privilege of paying our first visit to Hongkong since my transfer to South China, and of meeting you and making your personal acquaintance on an occasion which I believe will have an important bearing on the future relationship between Hongkong and Canton, and we have been deeply impressed by the wonderful strides Hongkong has made in reconstruction and more so by the warmth and friendliness with which we have been received.\n\nI need hardly emphasize that we entirely endorse the statement our kind host has just made that the spirit of friendship should form the basis of our relations and I desire to assure you that Canton will not only be prepared to reciprocate your friendship but will work for such mutual co-operation and assistance as would enable our friendly relations to show concrete results.\n\nThe Chinese people in their relations and dealings with others have always stressed peace and friendship. I believe I am not wrong in saying that love of peace is an outstanding quality of the Chinese character and the spirit of friendship is one of our underlying moral principles. Throughout our history of more than 4,000 years our great sages, philosophers and statesmen have favoured peace and harmony among nations.\n\n### Love of Peace\n\nThe late Dr. Sun Yat-sen, founder of the Chinese Kuomintang and the Chinese Republic, advocated universal brotherhood and believed that in order to realise the ideal of international peace, \"we must unify the world upon the foundation of our ancient morality and love of peace, and bring about a universal rule of equality and fraternity.\" Our present efforts to promote friendly relations with other countries are based on this principle and we are convinced that it is only through the realisation of this basic principle that peace can ever be made secure and permanent.\n\nIt is to be noted with gratification that in recent years the bonds of Anglo-Chinese friendship have greatly strengthened. The Chinese people appreciate your increasingly friendly spirit as manifested in the material support which the British Government has given to the Chinese currency stabilisation scheme and in its more recent action in extending huge export credits to China. We are appreciative of your country's active interest in our welfare and we know that the assistance we are receiving will stimulate our people to further efforts in the path of national recovery.\n\n### Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's Views\n\nOur national leader, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, believes that national relations must be built on the foundation of genuine friendship and he knows that British friendship is to be much desired. He told a prominent news correspondent in the course of an interview at Whampoa that it was his lifelong ambition to promote a relationship of true and lasting friendship between Great Britain and China.\n\nHere down in the south we hope that with political stability achieved and with certain obstacles to trade removed, it will be possible to inaugurate a new era in the relations between Hongkong and Canton. As I explained in a recent speech at a meeting of the Canton Rotary Club, the prosperity of Hongkong and Canton is really interdependent, and that continued economic rivalry between the two centres must react unfavourably upon both.\n\n### Big Programme\n\nFor the restoration of prosperity of our city we are embarking upon a gigantic programme of economic reconstruction and in this connection we require foreign assistance given in a spirit of absolute friendliness. We shall welcome foreign investments and co-operation, particularly from Hongkong, our close neighbour. Now that our internal stability is reached and factors such as unrest and insecurity arising from civil warfare, banditry and Communist menace, that have been obstructing progress, have diminished, we are able to accord complete protection to investments and industries. With friendly relations which are bound to lead to mutual assistance and with favourable economic conditions resulting from the development of air communications, shipping, and railway, I have no doubt that Hongkong and Canton in the next few years or perhaps in the very near future will prosper and take the premier trade position of the Far East.\n\nYour Excellency and Lady Caldecott, permit me to assure you again that my wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed our visit and the elaborate banquet you are giving us to-night. I will conclude with the earnest hope that you will honour us with further visits to Canton not in a too distant future and that the personal contacts we have made during this visit will be carried to very useful purposes.\n\n## Those Present Were\n\n| Name | Title/Designation |\n| --- | --- |\n| H.E. and Lady Caldecott | |\n| General Huang Mu-sung | |\n| H.H.

Huang's response to the toast was delivered in Cantonese and interpreted by Col. Li Fong, who stated:\n\nWe have come from Canton to return the visit of His Excellency the Governor, Sir Andrew Caldecott, and it is most kind of you to entertain us so warmly to-night, for which we have to thank you heartily. Last year the members of the Hongkong General Chamber of Commerce visited Canton, and the arrangements made for you at our end were so imperfect in comparison with your liberal hospitality to-night that we feel rather ashamed of ourselves.\n\nYour Chairman, in his speech, has just showered praise on our country and on us but I feel that we do not deserve such laudation. His remarks on the economic depression and trade development we feel we can endorse, and we are willing to make a common effort to secure their early realisation.\n\nOur sages say \"He who expects of others must himself be expected.\" This is true and if we desire mutual existence and mutual prosperity we must seek co-operation and work for mutual benefits. Let us then hope for the future prosperity of Hongkong and Canton.\n\n## Warm Welcome\n\nMr. Tseng, responding, said:\n\nI am happy to tell you how much we appreciate your warm welcome to-night and how deeply we have been impressed by the remarkable programme you have made for us. As a result of our visit here we have made personal contacts with your high government officials and we have had to-night the opportunity of meeting you, which will no doubt further cement the ties of friendship between Hongkong and Canton. I must thank you for the complimentary remarks your Chairman has just made in regard to the progress which China has achieved in recent years, and I want to take this opportunity of emphasising that this is just the beginning of our industrial expansion and economic reconstruction. We have carried out only a very small part of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's programme for international reconstruction and a great deal has yet to be accomplished. Dr. Sun Yat-sen's plans provided for the construction within 10 years of 1,000,000 miles of highways and 100,000 miles of railroads, but to-day in this country we have only 100,000 kilometres of highways and 11,000 kilometres of railway lines, less than a tenth of what we should have had, and woefully inadequate.\n\nIn the heavy industries we have made practically no start. The progress that has been made in the last decade has been achieved in spite of the formidable, indeed, almost insuperable difficulties within and without.\n\nOn the eve of our great commercial and industrial expansion we need foreign sympathy and support and we want to give everyone a chance to share in that advance.\n\n## Assistance From Abroad\n\nWe welcome economic assistance from the advanced industrial nations. As we have a population of over 450,000,000 China is indisputably the biggest market in the world. I think you will agree with me that China's prosperity will be a tremendous aid to world trade and economic recovery. If the purchasing power of our people is so increased that every Chinese can afford to buy $100 worth of merchandise each year, nations will have no need to worry that their manufactured goods will not find a ready market.\n\nIn recent years China has suffered from the great hardship arising from deprivation of valuable territory, internal turmoil, national calamity and financial and economic disorganisation due to America's silver purchasing policy all of which served as obstacles to threaten the industrial development and thus affect investments.\n\nCanton has embarked on an extensive programme of economic reconstruction and we seek your co-operation in carrying out our projects. We have made our plans for the development of the harbour, communications and transportation services: we are proceeding with our Whampoa port development scheme which I believe will be advantageous to South China and will help the prosperity that is so earnestly desired both by you and ourselves. I assure you that we are prepared to take the necessary steps to secure the removal of former obstacles to development (Applause). We are making a genuine effort to abolish unequal taxes, stamp out monopolies as well as other impediments to trade between our two cities.\n\nI note with gratification several steps taken by Hongkong towards closer co-operation, including the granting of facilities to Chinese merchant vessels and to Chinese mail and passenger aircraft. It is our firm hope that this spirit of co-operation will be continued and you have our assurance that your friendly gesture will be fully reciprocated. (Applause).\n\n## Mr. Ho Tsah-ping\n\nMr. Ho Tsah-ping said:\n\nI am so much impressed by the splendid reception you are giving us that I find considerable difficulty in expressing my thanks to you in proper terms.\n\nOn May 25 last year, I presided over a gathering of the representatives of business interests of Hongkong and Canton, in the building of Canton City Chamber of Commerce, the British Goodwill Mission, of which some of the gentlemen present were members, being the guests of honour.\n\nI even went so far as to remark that the businessmen of Hongkong and Canton lacked the kind of intimacy which helps to promote their confidence in one another. For instance, some British firms are too cautious in dealings with the Cantonese people, and consequently the latter have to seek elsewhere for easier terms and more favourable conditions. I therefore attached great weight to the constant touch among the business representatives of the two trading centres, and proposed that exchange of information and suggestions would improve trade and credit. I have the pleasure to tell you that my guests and friends agreed with me in this point. Canton and Hongkong are mutually dependent ports. It is needless to say that Hongkong, which is in some way privileged to give financial and technical help to Canton, has the greatest interest in its industrial and commercial developments. The unification of China, the completion of the Hankow-Canton Railway, the reformations effected by the Canton Government, such as the abolition of the exorbitant taxes, are beneficial to trade. I feel that prosperity is at hand; the more so when we can establish intimacy among ourselves by frequent receptions like this.\n\nSir Frederick Leith-Ross shares the same opinion with me, and suggested to me personally in Canton that the leading business men of Hongkong and Canton should organise a permanent Trade Commission to promote their trade interest. He said that the Chambers of Commerce of our cities would take charge of its organisation. Similar Trade Commissions exist in Shanghai and work with good results.\n\nMr. Chairman and gentlemen, before I sit down, I wish to draw your attention to Sir Frederick's suggestion, and ask you to accept my very sincere thanks for the hospitality you are showing us this evening.\n\n## The Hosts\n\nThe following members of the Chamber of Commerce and China Association (Hongkong Branch) were present as hosts:\n\n| Name | Company/Organisation |\n| --- | --- |\n| Mr. D.

In connection with finances, he said that he had decided to appoint a small Committee to investigate the financial position of the University, to enquire whether any changes are advisable in staffing, personnel, or salary scales, and to tender any other advice or suggestion for the future of the University.\n\n### Staff Personalities\n\nOn December 21, 1936, the enrolment was 412—139 in the Faculty of Medicine; 133 in the Faculty of Engineering, and 140 in the Faculty of Arts. Three hundred and forty-eight of these students were Chinese. In 1921 there was one woman undergraduate; to-day there are 76. I have once again to pay to the students my grateful tribute for their loyalty, discipline, and for the goodfellowship which prevails not only amongst themselves but between them and their teachers. The cynical might learn much from a visit to the night school which is conducted by the students.\n\nIn the Boxer Indemnity Scholarship Examination held early last year, two of our graduates appeared, and each won a scholarship. Miss Lai Po Kan came first in a competitive examination in Chinese and English Philology, and she is now reading in Oxford for the honours school English language and literature. Forty-five candidates sat for the scholarship examination. The other winner was Dr. Woo Kai-fun; his subject being pathology. He is now working in London. The Boxer Scholarship Examination was first held in 1934. Our record is four competitors and four winners.\n\n### Students Abroad\n\nDr. H. C. Ku, who won a Boxer Scholarship in 1934, has been elected a Fellow of the Edinburgh Royal College of Surgeons. Dr. Lee Hah-liong and Dr. Lim Gim-kheang (medical graduates of ours) have gained respectively the London Diploma in Child Health and the London Diploma of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. Miss Irene Ho has secured the London University Doctorate in Philosophy. Mr. Donald Anderson now holds the London University degree of Bachelor of Laws. Mr. E. B. Ahmed and Mr. Eric Wong Tape have qualified to be Associate members of the Institute of Civil Engineers, the former being top of the list of those who were successful at the examination qualifying for membership. Mr. Gan Kee-poon has been awarded the Diploma of the Imperial College, London. Mr. W. J. C. Fletcher has won the Parsons Memorial Prize—a prize awarded to the best apprentice by Messrs. C. A. Parsons & Co. Ltd., Newcastle-on-Tyne, in whose works Mr. Fletcher is working as an apprentice.\n\nTo the Chair of Anatomy, which was rendered vacant by the retirement of Professor J. L. Shellshear, Dr. Louis R. Shore has been elected. To the junior lectureship in English—held until last September by Mr. A. B. Reynolds—the Council has appointed Mr. Keith William Salter. Professor Shore comes from the Anatomy School of Cambridge; Mr. Salter during his career from the University of Bristol.\n\nOn New Year's day, Sir Grafton Elliot Smith died in London. As Head of the Department of Anatomy of University College, London, Sir Grafton helped this University in many ways. I take this opportunity of recording the University's grateful tribute to the memory of a great scientist to whose kindly interest and encouragement many an anatomist owes his career.\n\nPaying a tribute to Sir William Hornell, Sir Andrew Caldecott said he declined to conclude his speech with the word \"Goodbye,\" as had been the tribute to a great Vice-Chancellor, but would merely say, \"Thank you.\"\n\nSir William Hornell in his address drew attention to the successes which had been achieved by sons and daughters of the Alma Mater during the past year, and the brilliant work done by Professor Ride, whose work on human physiology and pathology had won for him the right to supplicate for the University of Oxford's degree of Doctor of Medicine.\n\nSir William also mourned the losses suffered by the University during the year, by the death of a number of its supporters and brilliant graduates, and drew attention to the distressing lack of playing fields for the undergraduates and the lack of a real connecting link between this university and English universities.\n\nTea was served in the University grounds from 3:45 p.m., and at 5 p.m. the Procession, including members of the Court, Council, Senate, and Faculties of the University, entered the Great Hall, and the members took their places on the dais.\n\nMr. Shore, and Mr. Salter, are going to be happy here—they are the sort of people who know how to be happy. Each one of them is, moreover, going to be a success not only in the University but also in the Colony. I do not often prophesy; here I dare assert.\n\nMr. Reynolds (who also came from the University of Bristol) did excellent work here. He deserves to do well and I am sure that he will.\n\nOur Chinese Staff was further strengthened last year by the appointment to it as Lecturer of Mr. Ma Kiam, M.A., of Columbia University. Mr. Ma Kiam has taught in the Peiping Union Medical College and he came to us from the Yenching University where he was Professor of Chinese. Mr. Ma Kiam's reputation as a scholar and teacher stood high in Peiping.\n\nThe Procession was led by H.E. Sir Andrew Caldecott, the Chancellor; followed by the Mace Bearer, Mr. I. Day, the Vice-Chancellor, Sir William Hornell, and the following: Treasurer and Dean, Faculty of Medicine; Dean, Faculty of Engineering, Dean, Faculty of Arts; H.E. Major-General A. W. Bartholomew, the Registrar; H.H. Sir Atholl MacGregor, Hon. Mr. N. L. Smith; The Rt. Rev. Bishop R. O. Hall, The Rt. Rev. Bishop Valtorta; Hon. Mr. C. G. Alabaster, Hon. Mr. R. A. C. North; Hon. Mr. Edwin Taylor, Hon. R. M. Henderson; Hon. Sir Henry Pollock, Hon. Sir Shouson Chow; Hon. Dr. A. R. Wellington, Hon. Mr. S. H. Dodwell; Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga, Hon. Mr. Ts'o Seen-wan; Hon. Com. G. F. Hole, R.N., (Retd.), Hon. Mr. Chau Tsun-nin; Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotewall, Hon. Mr. T. H. King; Hon. Mr. Lo Man-kam, Hon. Mr. A. W. Hughes; Mr. Eu Tong-sen, Mr. Mok Kon-sang; Mr. Ho Kom Tong, Professor C. A. M. Smith; Professor K. H. Digby, Professor G. T. Byrne; Professor F. A. Redmond, Professor L. Forster; Professor W. L. Gerrard; Professor W. C. W. Nixon, Professor L. R. Shore; Professor Hsu Ti Shan, Lt. Col. H. B. L. Dowbiggin; Mr. K. E. Greig, Mr. J. R. Masson; Mr. F. J. de Rome, Mr. G. R. Sayer; Mr. M. P. Talati, Mr. P. S. Cassidy; Mr. T. E. Pearce, Mr. J. H. Seth; Ir. G. P. de Martin, Mr. E. Cock; Mr. Sum Pak-ming, Mr. Kan Tong-po; Mr. B. Wong Tape, Mr. Tang Shiu-kin; Dr. G. D. R. Black, Mr. A. Brearly; Mr. Li Jow-son, Mr. Li Tse-fong; Dr. G. A. C. Herklots, Dr. Li Shu-fan; Mr. D. W. Morley, Mr. B. G. Birch; Mr. D. F. Davies, Mr. A. H. Fenwick; Mrs. M. Ring, Mr. R. A. Hill; Mr. K. W. Salter, Dr. D. J. Valentine; Mr. Chan Kwan-po, Mr. A. H. Paterson; Mr. S. V. Boxer, Mr. Ma Kiam; Dr. J. S. Guzdar, Miss Baxter; Father B. C. Kelly, S.J., Rev. G. K. Carpenter.\n\nWhile the Procession entered the Great Hall, the Band of the 2nd Battalion, The East Lancashire Regiment, played the Processional March.\n\nWhen all the members had taken their places on the dais, the Chancellor declared the Congregation open, and the Vice-Chancellor delivered his address. Sir William said:\n\nNineteen hundred and thirty-six has been a year of tragedy and mourning, and the University has had its share of unhappiness. We lost Mr. Wong Kwong-tin and Mr. Kwok Siu-lau. Both were staunch supporters of the University, and to the latter we owe the Biological Department.\n\nOn April 1, Maurice Alfred Cooper died. As Lecturer in Commerce and indeed generally as a member of the University Staff and for a time the Warden of a University Hostel, Cooper did devoted work. His untimely death was a severe shock to us all. Those who came into contact with Cooper will not forget him.\n\n### Dr. Ride's Success\n\nMention has already been made of the visit which the University's Professor of Physiology, Dr. Ride, made in 1931 and 1932 to Borneo in connection with his genetic researches. In 1933 the University granted Professor Ride study leave, and the Rockefeller Foundation asked him to tour America and to report on the present study of genetics and heredity with special reference to their application to problems of human physiology and pathology.\n\nThe thesis which Professor Ride wrote has been accepted by the University of Oxford and, in the language of that ancient institution, he may now supplicate for the University's degree of Doctor of Medicine.\n\nIn 1927 there were 292 students on the University's roll. On October...\n\n...some millions of dollars to bequeath (this, I regret to say, is pure hypothesis and not a prospect) I should certainly want to know two things; whether the institution which I selected for endowment was...\n\n(Continued on Page 9.)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-562-8 Hong Kong University- Engineering Faculty 16-6-1937 - 5-4-1938.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 554983, "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": "CO129-563-14 Sino-Japanese War- military and naval movements 27-11-1937 - 6-1-1938", "page_number": 2, "title": "CO129-563-14 Sino-Japanese War- military and naval movements 27-11-1937 - 6-1-1938", "content_text": "# Extract from minutes\n\n`538 38/1/37 (Political Situations)`\n\nHe (Sir C.

J. Sloss, C.B.E., M.A., referred to the lack of a hostel for the girl students, who had increased in numbers, and the insufficiency of playing fields generally. In a generous tribute to his predecessor, Mr. Sloss mentioned that a considerable number of books had been donated to the University by Sir William Hornell.\n\nThe Procession marshalled in the robing room soon after the Chancellor arrived and then, led by the Mace Bearer, walked through the cloisters.\n\nThe Chancellor declared the Congregation open, and the Vice-Chancellor made the opening address.\n\nMr. Sloss said: It has been customary for the Congregation to comment upon the events of the preceding year. As I have been here only two months I cannot do this, and therefore I shall limit myself in the main to obvious and non-controversial issues.\n\nA Royal Patron\n\nHis Excellency said: The past year has been notably eventful. During its passage the University lost a Chancellor in Sir Andrew Caldecott who, though his tenure of his office was short, took a keen interest in the welfare of the University.\n\nThe General Library of the University has been enriched by a gift of about 2,000 volumes from Sir William Hornell. Many of the books in Sir William's gift would now be difficult to obtain, and they increase the value of the Library.\n\nThe Chinese part of the Library has also found friends. Two large collections of good books, some in rare editions, lent from Canton for long periods of use in this Library.\n\nTo this I would like to add a few words to recall Sir William's eminent services to education before he came here—the achievements, in fact, with which were the use of his coming to Hongkong. He entered the Indian Education Service early in life and after seven years' distinguished work in Bengal he was recalled to the Board of Education in London where he worked in the Department of Special Enquiries and Reports with distinguished colleagues such as Sir Frank Heath and Mr. C: W. Twenty-four years later he came to Hongkong as Vice-Chancellor.\n\nSir William's hospitality was a fine influence in the University. His genial and kindly nature endeared him to his friends, and the memory of his geniality and his \"fairy god-mother\" kindnesses, which endeared him to a wide circle of friends and, not least, to the students of this University.\n\nOne of the oldest of Sir William's colleagues writes of him: \"During his thirteen years of office as Vice-Chancellor Sir William Hornell had many perplexities and problems to face. Throughout all these difficulties he always tried to do whatever he could to make members of his staff more efficient at their work and more contended in their conditions of service.\"\n\nHe returned to India in 1913 as Director of Public Instruction in Bengal.\n\nThe story of this University has been a story of transitions from crisis to crisis, and Sir William worthily filled a Vice-Chancellor's place.\n\nWilliam's place has been worthily filled by a Vice-Chancellor whose ripe experience makes him peculiarly welcome at the present juncture.\n\nThe Chancellor made a studied reference to the deliberations of the Committee which recently published recommendations for changes in the University administration, but laid most stress on the need for greater attention to the teaching of hygiene and the need for accommodation for girl students.\n\nThe University's great annual event was favoured by the weather, and the number of graduates in the University in 1937 has risen from a normal 50 to an actual 77.\n\nSeating and standing space and inside the Great Hall was fully occupied long before 5 p.m.\n\nThe Deans of the Faculties of Medicine, Engineering, and Arts then presented their graduates in succession, and the Chancellor conferred the respective degrees on each graduate, as they stepped forward with new hoods, and afterwards shook hands with each of them.\n\nThe Vice-Chancellor next read out the names of students in absentia on whom degrees were conferred, and presented the scholarship winners, with whom the Chancellor also shook hands.\n\nThe Graduates\n\nThe graduates of 1937 were:\n\nDegree of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery.—R.

R. T. Naidu and G. A. V. Ribeiro, the Ho Fook and Chan Kai Ming Engineering Scholarship, G. M. Cornfeld.\n\nThe Ho Fook and Chan Kai Ming Arts Scholarship, Wu Hei-tak.\n\nPhysical Training\n\nIn one respect, I am advised, student life at the University might be quickened and that is by devoting a little more time and thought to generally collective Physical Training.\n\nAs is well known, modern thought to-day, puts into practice a growingly closer alliance between the mind and the body, and it would be wise to encourage and help members of the staff to attend scientific conferences in other parts of the world and the students of the University to travel for purposes of study.\n\nChancellor's Address\n\nHis Excellency said: I turn for a moment to a material need of the University which is becoming more and more urgent year by year. 90 were women. For them the University so far, has not been able to provide a residential hall, nor even a hostel in which they could be housed collectively.\n\nThus on the one hand they are without the discipline and tutelage which are essential conditions of sound student life, and on the other they are deprived of the experience of a corporate life which supplies a great stimulus to, and widens the horizon of, those who are fortunate enough to live in University colleges.\n\nMr. Sloss, the Vice-Chancellor, has just spoken of Sir William Hornell's many services to education and I would like to render a tribute to those members of this University who engage themselves in social activities in the interest of other less fortunate than themselves.\n\nI refer, of course, to the Education Society, the Medical Society, the Christian Association and the other bodies within the University which have as their aim the betterment of the poorest classes of the community.\n\nTheir service of love builds better than they know: for love alone is creative and ever transcends its conscious objectives.\n\nCommittee's Report\n\nBefore I end this address I would like to render a tribute to those members of this University who engage themselves in social activities in the interest of other less fortunate than themselves.\n\nCertain of them, for example the advice to invest most of the Superannuation Fund in the general funds of the University, appear to me to be non-controversial and to call for immediate implementation.\n\nThe report contains, however, many suggestions and recommendations concerning finance and organization which pertain to the Finance Committee and the Council rather than to the Senate and I trust that these will be considered by the former authorities while those concerning the curriculum are being considered by the latter.\n\nThe Courage with which (Applause).\n\nHis Excellency then declared the Congregation closed.\n\nProcession List\n\nThe Procession which comprised Members of the Court, Council, Senate and Faculties of the University and Wardens of the Hostels, was as follows:\n\nHis Excellency the Chancellor, preceded by the Mace Bearer, and followed by the Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Dean, Faculty of Arts; H.

Edwards at the Central Magistracy yesterday and pleaded guilty.\n\nDet, Sergeant Davies stated that defendant was employed by a firm on the third floor of the Marina House. On the morning in question, he went down to the first floor and entered a vacant office where some electrical repairs were being carried and so forth. That done, he took two lead pipes and placed them across the alleyway to the St. Francis Hotel, and started to walk across to the hotel. Midway, the pipes gave way, and he fell, from a height of about 30 feet, and had to receive medical attention. The defendant admitted that his intention was to commit a larceny in the hotel.\n\nHis Worship bound defendant over in the sum of $50 to be of good behaviour for a year, and remarked that he had learned a good lesson.\n\nHOUSEBREAKING ATTEMPT\n\nMr. D. Keys, of 3 Cameron Road, reported to the police on Tuesday that some person attempted to enter his house between 10 p.m. on January 3 and 8 a.m. on January 4, by boring a hole in the front door.

Bisasterod 10\n\nIn the attached telegram recommending the appointment of Mr. D.J. Sloss to be a Member of the Executive Council at Hong Kong, Sir Geoffry Northcote refers to the possibility of a sudden breakdown of his own health. When he had to come away from Hong Kong last summer, Sir G. Northcote left Mr. N.L. Smith, the Colonial Secretary, as O.A.G. (19th May). A few weeks later, however (24th June) the Naval C.-in-C. China and the G.O.C. Hong Kong urged the need to supersede Mr. Smith by the appointment of a military Acting Governor. They said that Mr. Smith lacked decision and drive, and things were muddling along. Accordingly Major Norton was appointed from India.\n\nGeneral Sir G. Northcote told us before he returned to Hong Kong that he expected Mr. N.L. Smith might wish to retire after the Governor's resumption of the administration. Sir G. Northcote has been back in Hong Kong for some two months now, but we have no further news from him as to Mr. N.L. Smith's future. There is, however, in the two telegrams attached a suggested lack of full confidence in Mr. Smith as O.A.G., should the Governor himself become suddenly incapacitated, and this is based on other grounds than those on which the Naval C.-in-C. and the G.O.C. relied in May of last year, -sc: Mr. Sloss would have most valuable steadying influence on interim Governorship...... his knowledge of affairs in China is greatly superior to that of my official advisers”.. Mr. N.L. Smith will be 55 in May next year. He has had excellent reports throughout his career in Hong Kong, and I can only think that his capacity has begun to fail under the strain of war conditions in Hong Kong. His knowledge of the people and language of Southern China could, I have little doubt, be put still to good purpose in the Far East if he were to vacate his present appointment, but the Governor's hints make one feel that it is not safe to leave Mr. N.L. Smith as the prospective O.A.G. at the present juncture if anything were to happen to Sir G. Northcote.\n\nAs a first step I suggest a personal telegram to Sir G. Northcote as attached.\n\nagree Japa 6.7.9.2015. R 2015 泓 19.5.41. How couverted us wit a personal Kelegram from the 878. جيب 23/6. 6\" To BK tel Saint & Persoal. ·22-5.4.

N.L. Smith (Col. Sec.)\n\nin this annual Debate. The Financial Secretary has replied to the financial points raised by Honourable Members and it remains for me, in closing the debate, to refer to the more important of the other questions which have been touched upon.\n\nThere are three major administrative questions that have come in for considerable criticism, not only in today's Debate but in the discussions which preceded this meeting and, to some extent, in the correspondence columns of the local press, namely Immigration, Food Control, and Firewood Control.\n\nI am authorised by His Excellency the Acting Governor to state that he has yesterday, with the consent of the Executive Council, decided to appoint a strong Commission, the composition of which will be announced without delay, to enquire into various allegations which have recently been made against the Immigration Officer and his staff.\n\nWith this in view, it would be improper for me to discuss the matter in this Council, but I should like to assure Honourable Members that in the last few days Mr Forrest has been provided not only with additional accommodation but also with another capable administrative assistant. I will not say more except to state that the foundations of the department were, in the opinion of the Government, laid on the best lines advised by an expert from Malaya; and also that the urgency of starting the Immigration Department was constantly pressed upon Mr Forrest in spite of his requests for more preparation.\n\nCivil Servants' Position The Hon. Mr Paterson and the Hon. Mr Dodwell have both remarked on the ill-effects, especially noticeable in times of crisis, of the apparently inviolable position enjoyed by Government servants and the difficulties which lie in the way of discarding the inefficient. Unfortunately, perhaps, or fortunately for the officers concerned, perhaps, neither the Government nor this Council has an entirely free hand in this matter, as was explained in the 1939 Budget debate (1939 Hansard, p.225), as the rules under which all Government servants above a certain rank are governed in all matters of discipline, salary, increments, and the like are universal throughout the Colonial Empire.\n\nAnother point raised by the Hon. Mr Dodwell has also been the subject of earlier discussion in this Council, namely his attempted comparison between the sum spent on personal emoluments and the sums spent on social services. This, I think it will be agreed, is a cross-division, as doctors and schoolmasters and market inspectors must draw salaries just as much as those officers whose duties are merely administrative. A study of the final column on page 15 of the Estimates now presented, which shows the percentage which each Government department bears to the total expenditure for the year, would, I suggest, give a clearer view of any disparity such as Mr Dodwell criticises.\n\nProvision of Vessels The point which the Hon. Mr Shields makes about the provision of vessels for the Admiralty will be further examined.\n\nFood Control and Firewood As regards Food Control, also, today's debate comes at a somewhat opportune moment, as the organisation of this important defence department has been, last week, under very active scrutiny. An announcement on this subject will be made at an early date.\n\nThe price of firewood and the conservation of adequate reserves for defence purposes has long been the concern of the Government, which sent, a month or so ago, a special representative to enquire into this vital necessity in Manila, Borneo, and Malaya. The first shipment of Government-purchased firewood from Sandakan may shortly be expected, and it is hoped that this and subsequent consignments will go some distance towards a solution of this difficult problem.\n\nThe Hon. Mr Tam has remarked on the present lawlessness in the Colony, and this is only too apparent from accounts that come from various sources. Such a state of affairs is hardly unexpected at a time when Hongkong is as overcrowded as ever and when so great a part of that surplus population comprises the paupers, and so the potential criminals, of the neighbouring parts of South China. Banishment, plus a rigorous enforcement of the Immigration Ordinance, are the most obvious remedies; but I think it is also to be noted that in existing circumstances of military precautions, the calls on the Police Force are so great that some diminution in their normal duties of preventing crime is hardly unexpected.\n\nIt is quite true that at the time when this offer was made, it was, I think, generally thought that the War was a remote incident to which the Colony should contribute in this remote way, and there was little expectation of the vast local preparations which have been forced upon us since the events in Europe of last summer. At the same time, the offer was a firm one, and, even if no actual expenditure has yet been incurred, it may be felt that the question of dishonouring that promise should not be considered so long as our local revenue comes in at its present rate. I cannot, however, say more on this subject at the moment except to promise a full and early examination.\n\nNo one can, Gentlemen, say that today's debate indicates a subservient or an uncritical attitude such as has occasionally been charged against the Unofficial Members of this Council. I venture to say that the healthy and helpful criticisms such as we have heard today are welcomed by the Government and are evidence of the appreciation of those Members of their important duty as representatives of the public. Whether on matters of detail in our Finance Committee discussions or on broad questions of policy as in today's debate, I have personally always found those representatives constructive in their criticisms and jealous guardians of the public good. (Applause).\n\nThe resolution was then put to the Vote and was approved.\n\nAPPROPRIATION BILL\n\nThe Financial Secretary moved the first reading of \"A Bill to apply a sum not exceeding $52,483,294 to the Public Services of the financial year beginning on April 1, 1941, and ending on March 31, 1942, and also to apply an additional sum not exceeding $832,000 to the Waterworks Renewals and Improvements Fund for the service of that Fund in the said financial year.\"\n\nThe Attorney General seconded, and the Bill was read a first time.\n\nINCREASE IN DUTIES\n\nRationing of Petrol May Be Introduced\n\nCAR OWNERS WARNED\n\nResolutions relating to the increase in duties on hydrocarbon oils and liquor and the imposition of a new duty on table waters, details of which have already been published, were moved by the Financial Secretary, the Hon. Mr H. R. Butters, at a meeting of the Legislative Council yesterday.\n\nThe Financial Secretary said:\n\nThe duty on light oils, that is on petrol, was increased, by His Excellency's order, to 80 cents per gallon on November 7, 1940. The object of the increase in petrol duty is, by reducing consumption, to conserve foreign exchange and save tankerage. It is not intended as a revenue-producing measure.\n\nI am authorised by His Excellency to state, for the information of Hon. Members and as a warning to the public, that if this measure fails in its primary object, namely, to reduce consumption, particularly in respect of private cars, the rationing of petrol may have to be introduced.\n\nThe increase in the duty on heavy oils to be used as fuel for heavy oil road vehicles from 30 to 40 cents per gallon, and the imposition of a duty of 10 cents per gallon on other hydrocarbon oils hitherto untaxed, with effect in both cases from January 16, 1941, are, as indicated in my speech to this Council on that day, revenue-producing measures.\n\nLiquor\n\nA second resolution gives effect to the increases in liquor duties which were announced in this Council on January 16, 1941, and which were put into immediate effect by His Excellency's order.\n\nTable Waters\n\nThe third resolution gives effect to the imposition of a duty on table waters, which was announced in this Council on January 16, 1941, and which was put into immediate effect by His Excellency's order.\n\nSeconded by the Attorney General, the Hon. Mr C. G. Alabaster, the resolutions were approved.\n\nBILLS INTRODUCED\n\nOn the motion of the Hon. Mr Alabaster, seconded by the Hon. Mr Butters, the following Bills were also read a first time: \"A Bill to amend the Medical Registration Ordinance, 1935,\" and \"A Bill to amend the Hongkong Corps of Air Raid Wardens Ordinance, 1940.\"\n\nThe following Bills were passed: \"A Bill to amend the Places of Public Entertainment Regulation Ordinance, 1919\", and \"A Bill to amend the Entertainments Tax Ordinance, 1930.\"\n\nCouncil was adjourned sine die.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-584-2 Estimates 1941-2 21-2-1941 - 11-6-1941.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 575171, "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": "CO129-590-22 Situation in enemy occupied Hong Kong 19-1-1943 - 20-11-1943", "page_number": 12, "title": "CO129-590-22 Situation in enemy occupied Hong Kong 19-1-1943 - 20-11-1943", "content_text": "## 39 Extract for Daily Digest of World Broadcasts \n**F.E.

Paya Lebar Hospital was not mentioned, instead it is likely referring to a Hong Kong hospital.

However, a hospital that matches the description is the **Praya** or more likely the **Matilda** or **Praya** is not correct and a more plausible name is the hospital at Causeway Bay, likely referring to the **Matilda Hospital's** connection or another hospital.\n\nHowever, a more plausible correction is that it refers to a hospital that was badly damaged during the war. A likely candidate is the **Matilda Hospital** or another in Causeway Bay.\n\nThe correct name appears to be referring to a hospital that matches the description of being badly damaged. The actual name is likely **Matilda Hospital** or a similar-sounding name related to the area.\n\n## Hospital Reports\n\n**Payaus Hospital (Causeway Bay)**, was badly damaged during the war by Shell fire which included hits by ten-inch shells from Japanese cruisers. Dr. Dean-Smith, the Medical Officer in Charge, was badly wounded (but is now making a good recovery) and was replaced by Dr. P.R.S. Court.\n\nIt was still functioning on 17th Feb. and its European Staff was still interned. The hospital latterly became the Headquarters of Dr. Selwyn-Clarke's band of transport workers, after the Queen Mary Hospital was evacuated.\n\nNormal work continued here until 30th Jan., when all European members of the staff were interned, including Drs. Ashton, Alderton, Sydenham and Forbes and the Rev. Alton.\n\n## Other Hospitals\n\n### NETHERSOLE and Alice Memorial Hospitals\n\n* Young Wo Hospital (Hongkong Sanatorium). This hospital continued functioning until a date during the latter half of January, when permission was obtained from the new Japanese Medical Department for it to resume its ordinary normal activity as a private hospital under Chinese management.\n\n### Tung Wah Hospitals\n\n* Tung Wah Eastern Hospital. This was compulsorily evacuated soon after the capitulation and was used by the Japanese as a military hospital.\n* Tung Wah Hospital. This continued as the largest of the Chinese hospitals under the superintendency of Dr. Thomas (Tam Nga-shi).\n\n### Relief Hospitals\n\n* Happy Valley Relief Hospital. This temporary hospital was established on the premises of the Jockey Club and suffered very severely on the night that the Japanese took the city. Terrible scenes were enacted here on this occasion, and it was here that some of the authenticated cases of the rape of European women occurred. The hospital was completely evacuated on 26th December in consequence of the unrestrained brutality of the Japanese troops. Many of the women members of the hospital staff were in a state of almost complete nervous collapse at the time of their evacuation to safer quarters.\n* University Relief Hospital. This was the main Relief Hospital for male patients. The European staff members, with the exception of Prof. R.C. Robertson, Mr. Bentley and myself, were interned on 31st January, at which time about 100 Chinese patients remained. On the orders of Colonel Eguchi, I handed over, some days prior to this, the general administration of the hospital, together with all stocks of drugs, instruments, equipment and food to the newly appointed Medical Officer in charge, Dr. Lim Eoq Quee.\n* St. Stephen's Girls College Relief Hospital. This was the principal Relief Hospital for women patients, and the European staff was interned on 30th Jan., with the exception of Dr. Griffiths (free Irish).\n\n### Military and Naval Hospitals\n\n* Bowen Road Military Hospital. This hospital continued running under the command of Col. Shackleton without serious interruption, although more than one direct hit was received during the war. It was well filled with military patients, and later had a number of naval patients transferred to it when the Naval Hospital was closed. It was still operating on 17th Feb.\n* Royal Naval Hospital. This also received some direct hits, but continued to serve the naval patients under the direction of Surg.-Cdr. Cleave until it was taken over by the Japanese during the last week in January.\n\nOn the Kowloon side, the Kowloon Hospital, St. Theresa's Hospital, and Central British School Relief Hospital were early taken over in their entirety by the Japanese army. Medical Officers such as Dr. Newton, Dr. Uttley, and Dr. Hargreaves eventually reached the Stanley Camp.\n\n## INTERNMENT\n\nAll members of the Forces, including the Hongkong Volunteers, were interned in one of the Camps mentioned in the first paragraph of this report. Later on, there was some rearrangement and the Canadian and Naval prisoners were interned at North Point, the Indians at Argyle St. and the remainder of H.M. Forces, with the Volunteers, at the Sham Shui Po Camp.\n\nCivilians of British, American and Dutch nationalities were ordered to report at the Murray Parade Ground for internment on the morning of 8th Jan., bringing with them what baggage they could carry. Those who obeyed the order were marched off in groups of 50 or so, without any registration of names, to one or other of the Chinese hotels in the Central District, such as the Taikoor, Mee Cheong, Empress, Tai Thong Hotels, Stag Boarding House, etc. Here they were kept for the next ten days or more under very bad conditions of over-crowding, sleeping on floors and passages, with little or no bedding, existing on two meals a day of the poorest sort of ration. Many people were only able to get rice to eat. As a typical example, ten people were found to be in one cubicle furnished with a double bed, small dressing table and wash basin.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-590-23 Situation in Hong Kong 25-4-1905 - 25-4-1905.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 576523, "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": "CO129-591-10 Military Administration 16-1-1945 - 28-3-1946", "page_number": 31, "title": "CO129-591-10 Military Administration 16-1-1945 - 28-3-1946", "content_text": "28 Dec. 45\n\n3176\n\n75\n\nWar Office.\n\nSAVINGRAM NO. 1079\n\nRec'd. 1.0. 11th Jan. 46.\n\nFrom: Civil Affairs Hong Kong\n\nFor C.A.9 and Colonial Office\n\nGrosvenor Street.\n\nHerewith further list arrival permanent staff C.A.

Its object is to stimulate Chinese production of items required for the war effort in order to bridge the gap between the total requirements for the war in China and the quantities which can be imported over the Hump and by road. It is naturally concerned with the screening of Chinese demands in the light of real or potential Chinese ability to produce certain items and also with research into Chinese resources.\n\nThis branch wants from us all possible information on Chinese potential and actual production of: Coal, Coke, Steel, Munitions, Liquid Fuels, Machine Tools, Food, and Signal Equipment, in both Free and Occupied China. What is really wanted is a detailed economic survey of China showing raw materials available and facilities for processing.\n\nA subsection of this branch is concerned with travel in China by non-military Allied personnel using American transportation. We are unlikely to deal very frequently with this section but may occasionally be asked to identify British subjects applying for transportation and to indicate the degree of urgency of their movements. In general, G5 would like any applications put in by B.M.M. to give all possible information on these points and to specify that no British means of transportation is available. This is in order to assist in allotting priorities.\n\n8) Military Government.\n\nAs already indicated, I was unable to discuss the work of this branch in any detail since Colonel Junge has only just taken over.

An inspection by the International Red Cross delegate, with Japanese officials, of a large kitchen, where damp grass was being deliberately used to emphasise the position, was rendered farcical by the density of the smoke and may have accounted for a marked improvement in firewood supplies during the final months of internment.\n\n14. FOOD SUPPLIES\n\nThe diet in Stanley Camp was, without doubt, monotonous and unpalatable and unsuitable for Europeans. It was consistently lacking in quantity, and frequently in quality, and at no time provided sufficient energy and essential food factors to meet minimum requirements. Much of the foodstuffs received was of very poor quality or had deteriorated in storage or during prolonged transport. It is, therefore, rather generous to calculate their food value, as has been done, on figures applicable to foods of average quality and with an average amount of unavoidable waste in preparation and cooking.\n\nAll rations were inspected on arrival by members of the health staff, a task which was frequently an unenviable one. Pre-war standards could not be maintained as rejected portions were not replaced and internees were living on a diet which bordered on starvation. The dividing line between what was fit and what was not fit for human consumption was very fine and risks were undoubtedly taken. But it was only on a few occasions that consumers were adversely affected and these were usually localised cases due to failure by kitchen staffs to follow medical recommendations. When food was rejected the Authorities were informed and a protest lodged which sometimes led to temporary improvement. Some of the meat received was found to be heavily infected with tuberculosis, showing signs of decomposition or so emaciated as to be obviously from diseased animals. Fresh fish was often so delayed in transit that much of it was uneatable on arrival. Later on frozen fish was supplied and occasionally this led to difficulties as one could not convince the Japanese that fish which was partly decomposed when frozen was unlikely to improve in storage. Finally, when lack of coal and electricity made cold storage impossible, and transport difficulties ruled out fresh supplies, the camp was subjected to the ordeal of Chinese salted fish. Many refused it but those of us who consumed it survived, somewhat to our surprise, without ill effects.\n\nShellfish was provided on a few occasions but as such probably originated in Hong Kong harbour, where collection was forbidden in pre-war days owing to the danger of typhoid, the supply was stopped at our own request. The small food value of this delicacy did not justify the danger involved in handling it in improvised kitchens where supplies of hot water and even fuel for cooking were inadequate.\n\nOn a few occasions the rice provided consisted of godown sweepings, almost uneatable and of very little value as food. It contained such items as sand, small stones, cigarette ends, insects and their young, droppings, glass and once, at least, rat carcases. Protests regarding the quality of rice appeared to be more effective than those in respect of other supplies and, as a rule, rice was of good quality. Requests for a regular supply of part of our rice in unpolished form were unsuccessful.\n\nVegetables showed a seasonal variation in quality and quantity, being particularly poor during the summer months. Supplies were frequently old and deteriorated when received. Sweet potatoes, when issued, were often of an inferior quality. Some vegetables were hardly worthy of the name and when one recollects meals consisting of 4 oz. boiled rice with a small portion of boiled turnips, or boiled lettuce, or boiled chrysanthemums, or boiled Chinese chives, or boiled potato leaves, one may be forgiven for thinking of a stronger word than austerity to describe them.\n\n23\n\nThe official rations were obviously inadequate for the maintenance of a reasonable degree of health and the results would have been very serious were it not for supplies received from other sources such as the Hong Kong Informal Welfare Committee, the Camp canteen and the International Red Cross delegate.\n\nSome internees were fortunate in receiving regular parcels from friends in town but this benefited a comparative few and did not materially influence the health of the camp as a whole. On the other hand, marked improvement of the health of internees generally followed the receipt of food supplies from Britain and Canada in 1942 and 1944 respectively.\n\nThe Japanese Authorities failed throughout to provide milk and other foodstuffs to meet the special requirements of babies, children and invalids. Their plight would have been serious if Dr. Selwyn-Clarke had not managed to send into camp during 1942 sufficient supplies to meet such requirements for a prolonged period. Children over five years of age had to subsist almost entirely on the official rations, the help that it was possible to give them infrequently being so limited as to have but little effect on their health. Nevertheless, apart from a high incidence of carious teeth and increased susceptibility to skin infections, the interned children were in a fair state of health on release and it is hoped that more serious manifestations of prolonged malnutrition will not arise.\n\n81\n\n31\n\n82\n\nRepeated requests for improvement of the diet were made to the Japanese authorities throughout the whole period of internment, but after 1942 the diet steadily deteriorated. While the rations provided might have been justified towards the end of the war owing to lack of supplies and land and sea transport, and a very effective blockade, there was no excuse at the beginning when large supplies of suitable food were available in the Colony and even in large godowns inside the camp.\n\nThe figures for nutritional diseases given in Dr. Smith's report show that nearly all internees suffered at some time from malnutrition in one form or another and this, with other factors such as overcrowding, discomfort, confinement and anxiety makes more remarkable the grim determination and consistent good humour with which the large majority of internees endured and survived such a long period of strain and hardship.\n\n(15) INFECTIOUS AND INSECT-BORNE DISEASES\n\nThe diseases under this heading of chief concern to the camp were dysentery, diarrhoea, typhoid, tuberculosis, typhus and malaria.\n\nDiarrhoea and Dysentery-In the early days of the camp conditions favoured the spread of fly-borne disease and the prevalence of diarrhoea and dysentery at that time was not surprising, particularly as many people had been infected in the Chinese hotels where they had been confined before entering Stanley. A large number of diarrhoea cases could be attributed to an unsuitable and unaccustomed diet and possibly to bad cooking. And, in the absence of laboratory facilities, it is likely that many cases diagnosed as bacillary dysentery on clinical grounds were, in fact, cases of acute enteritis. The situation was at first serious, with 350 cases of dysentery in the first three months of internment, but conditions improved and the total for the year was 410. Figures for 1943, 1944 and 1945 (eight months) were 191, 172 and 67 respectively. Although the dysentery was of some severity it responded rapidly to treatment with drugs of the sulphonamide group, of which there were limited supplies in camp. Only two deaths were certified as directly due to dysentery. Outbreaks of diarrhoea were fairly common particularly in the spring and autumn but only on a few occasions was it possible to determine the causative factor. Certain foods, either in themselves or by the nature of their cooking, occasionally accounted for these outbreaks but flies from the prison and Stanley village were probably responsible for many of them.\n\nTyphoid-Internees were inoculated against typhoid either before arrival in camp or shortly afterwards, and again in 1943 and 1944. Fourteen cases of typhoid occurred with one death.\n\nTuberculosis.-Thirty-three cases were registered during the first year but many of these were old cases. Spread of this disease was favoured by malnutrition and overcrowding but this was largely balanced by a good climate and an open air life. Only a comparatively small number of new cases were diagnosed and at the time of release only 15 cases were receiving hospital treatment. There were seven deaths. That undernourishment was largely responsible for the steady deterioration of these patients' condition was clearly demonstrated by their rapid improvement on an adequate diet following the Japanese surrender. For most of the time tuberculous cases were treated in the general hospital wards as separate accommodation was not available; in June, 1944, however, a small building, used in pre-war days as a ward for leprous prisoners, was allotted for use as a sanatorium. This proved a relief to the hospital and beneficial to the patients concerned.\n\nDiphtheria. One case diagnosed as diphtheria occurred late in 1942. The authorities promptly provided anti-toxin. The source of infection could not be traced and it is remarkable that the patient's two children escaped infection although they were at a very susceptible age, lived in a small room with her and no protective treatment was given. The diagnosis was confirmed by a Japanese-operated laboratory in town but its work was not reliable as it similarly diagnosed a smear from an ordinary septic throat a few days later. I was unconvinced that the case was, in fact, diphtheria. Its treatment however, demonstrated the necessity for isolation facilities in camp; the hospital outpatient department had to be closed to make the room used as such available for the patient.\n\nTyphus.-There were nine cases of scrub typhus with four deaths. The severity of these cases and the high mortality rate suggest the possibility of Japanese River Fever. Cases occurred in late summer or early autumn and the evidence available indicates transmission by mites. Several cases amongst troops on manoeuvres occurred in Hong Kong in 1941 and it is possible that the incidence may increase as a result of the Japanese occupation. Full investigation of the true nature and mode of transmission of the so-called scrub typhus as met with in Hong Kong appears to be necessary.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 579170, "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": "CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947", "page_number": 86, "title": "CO129-592-2 Reports on current situation- medical work 3-3-1946 - 12-5-1947", "content_text": "118\n\n119\n\n30\n\nto use grass for cooking, a procedure which usually resulted in delayed and badly cooked meals. An inspection by the International Red Cross delegate, with Japanese officials, of a large kitchen, where damp grass was being deliberately used to emphasise the position, was rendered farcical by the density of the smoke and may have accounted for a mark improvement in firewood supplies during the final months of internment.\n\n14. FOOD SUPPLIES\n\nThe diet in Stanley Camp was, without doubt, monotonous and unpalatable and unsuitable for Europeans. It was consistently lacking in quantity, and frequently in quality and at no time provided sufficient energy and essential food factors to meet minimum requirements. Much of the foodstuffs received was of very poor quality or had deteriorated in storage or during prolonged transport. It is, therefore, rather generous to calculate their food value, as has been done, on figures applicable to foods of average quality and with an average amount of unavoidable waste in preparation and cooking.\n\nAll rations were inspected on arrival by members of the health staff, a task which was frequently an unenviable one. Pre-war standards could not be maintained as rejected portions were not replaced and internees were living on a diet which bordered on starvation. The dividing line between what was fit and what was not fit for human consumption was very fine and risks were undoubtedly taken. But it was only on a few occasions that consumers were adversely affected and these were usually localised cases due to failure by kitchen staffs to follow medical recommendations. When food was rejected the Authorities were informed and a protest lodged which sometimes led to temporary improvement. Some of the meat received was found to be heavily infected with tuberculosis, showing signs of decomposition or so emaciated, as to be obviously from diseased animals. Fresh fish was often so delayed in transit that much of it was uneatable on arrival. Later on frozen fish was supplied and occasionally this led to difficulties as one could not convince the Japanese that fish which was partly decomposed when frozen was unlikely to improve in storage. Finally, when lack of coal and electricity made cold storage impossible, and transport difficulties ruled out fresh supplies, the camp was subjected to the ordeal of Chinese salted fish. Many refused it but those of us who consumed it survived, somewhat to our surprise, without ill effects.\n\nShellfish was provided on a few occasions but as such probably originated in Hong Kong harbour, where collection was forbidden in pre-war days owing to the danger of typhoid, the supply was stopped at our own request. The small food value of this delicacy did not justify the danger involved in handling it in improvised kitchens where supplies of hot water and even fuel for cooking were inadequate.\n\nOn a few occasions the rice provided consisted of godown sweepings, almost uneatable and of very little value as food. It contained such items as sand, small stones, cigarette ends, insects and their young, droppings, glass and once, at least, rat carcases. Protests regarding the quality of rice appeared to be more effective than those in respect of other supplies and, as a rule, rice was of good quality. Requests for a regular supply of part of our rice in unpolished form were unsuccessful.\n\nVegetables showed a seasonal variation in quality and quantity, being particularly poor during the summer months. Supplies were frequently old and deteriorated when received. Sweet potatoes, when issued, were often of an inferior quality. Some vegetables were hardly worthy of the name and when one recollects meals consisting of 4 oz. boiled rice with a small portion of boiled turnips, or boiled lettuce or boiled chrysanthemums, or boiled Chinese chives or boiled potato leaves, one may be forgiven for thinking of a stronger word than \"austerity\" to describe them.\n\nThe official rations were obviously inadequate for the maintenance of a reasonable degree of health and the results would have been very serious were it not for supplies received from other sources such as the Hong Kong Informal Welfare Committee, the Camp canteen and the International Red Cross delegate.\n\nSome internees were fortunate in receiving regular parcels from friends in town but this benefited a comparative few and did not materially influence the health of the camp as a whole. On the other hand, marked improvement of the health of internees generally followed the receipt of food supplies from Britain and Canada in 1942 and 1944 respectively.\n\nThe Japanese Authorities failed throughout to provide milk and other foodstuffs to meet the special requirements of babies, children and invalids. Their plight would have been serious if Dr. Selwyn-Clarke had not managed to send into camp during 1942 sufficient supplies to meet such requirements for a prolonged period. Children over five years of age had to subsist almost entirely on the official rations, the help that it was possible to give them infrequently being so limited as to have but little effect on their health. Nevertheless, apart from a high incidence of carious teeth and increased susceptibility to skin infections, the interned children were in a fair state of health on release and it is hoped that more serious manifestations of prolonged malnutrition will not arise.\n\n31\n\nRepeated requests for improvement of the diet were made to the Japanese authorities throughout the whole period of internment but after 1942 the diet steadily deteriorated. While the rations provided might have been justified towards the end of the war owing to lack of supplies and land and sea transport, and a very effective blockade, there was no excuse at the beginning when large supplies of suitable food were available in the Colony and even in large godowns inside the camp.\n\nThe figures for nutritional diseases given in Dr. Smith's report show that nearly all internees suffered at some time from malnutrition in one form or another and this, with other factors such as overcrowding, discomfort, confinement and anxiety makes more remarkable the grim determination and consistent good humour with which the large majority of internees endured and survived such a long period of strain and hardship.\n\n(15) INFECTIOUS AND INSECT-BORNE DISEASES\n\nThe diseases under this heading of chief concern to the camp were dysentery, diarrhoea, typhoid, tuberculosis, typhus and malaria.\n\nDiarrhoea and Dysentery.--In the early days of the camp conditions favoured the spread of fly-borne disease and the prevalence of diarrhoea and dysentery at that time was not surprising, particularly as many people had been infected in the Chinese hotels where they had been confined before entering Stanley. A large number of diarrhoea cases could be attributed to an unsuitable and unaccustomed diet and possibly to bad cooking. And, in the absence of laboratory facilities, it is likely that many cases diagnosed as bacillary dysentery on clinical grounds were, in fact, cases of acute enteritis. The situation was at first serious with 350 cases of dysentery in the first three months of internment but conditions improved and the total for the year was 410. Figures for 1943, 1944 and 1945 (eight months) were 191, 172 and 67 respectively. Although the dysentery was of some severity it responded rapidly to treatment with drugs of the sulphonamide group, of which there were limited supplies in camp. Only two deaths were certified as directly due to dysentery. Outbreaks of diarrhoea were fairly common particularly in the spring and autumn but only on a few occasions was it possible to determine the causative factor. Certain foods, either in themselves or by the nature of their cooking, occasionally accounted for these outbreaks but flies from the prison and Stanley village were probably responsible for many of them.\n\nTyphoid--Internees were inoculated against typhoid either before arrival in camp or shortly afterwards and again in 1943 and 1944. Fourteen cases of typhoid occurred with one death.\n\nTuberculosis.--Thirty-three cases were registered during the first year but many of these were old cases.

Accompanied by Lieut. Mackinley, Police entered the godown but found no one there. Lieut. MacKinley suggested reconnoitring enemy positions, particularly a pillbox situated opposite the Bay View Hotel. On arrival at the pillbox, which was found deserted, the party was fired on from the French Hospital and retired to Percival Street, picking up two stray Punjabis en route. The enemy were in occupation of the French Hospital and Leighton Hill.\n\n07.30 A second report of looting at the Imperial Chemical Industries godowns was received. Mr. Luscombe again formed a volunteer party of Police consisting of himself, P.S.A.53 Brown, P.S.A.185 Galvin, and L.S.A.34 Flaherty, L.S.A.164 Mayor, L.S.A.113 MacKenzie, and L.S.A.63 Woodhead. Col. Stewart detailed a party of Middlesex to accompany Police, which Mr. Luscombe took to the sea front at Percival Street, from where they advanced and opened fire from the rear of the compound of the godowns on the looters. He advanced with the Police party to the junction of Jardine's Bazaar and Ewo Street, again some 200 yards in front of our front line, where they opened fire on the looters running out of the gate of the Imperial Chemical Industries godowns across Great George Street into Pennington Street. The party then crossed over Jardine's Bazaar to take up a more advantageous position on the other side on a vacant plot of ground in order to cut off the line of the looters' retreat. Here they came under heavy enemy fire, and Sergeants Galvin and Woodhead were wounded. Mr. Luscombe then withdrew his party to a more sheltered position and, after the looters had dispersed, returned to Station with the two wounded men.\n\n10.00\n\n1\n\n11.00\n\nSevere air raids continued.\n\nShelling and bombing continued. The Gas Works in Kennedy Town and Whitty Street were bombed without damage except to adjacent roads.\n\nShelling by trench mortars and guns of slightly larger calibre continued all day.\n\nThe water supply was cut off. Brackish water was eventually obtained from wells.\n\nThe Traffic Inspector, Hong Kong, reports that, during the last few days of the war, many drivers used their vehicles for their own purposes, and strong action had to be taken to prevent it. Many cars were not properly immobilised before being left by legitimate drivers and were stolen.\n\nAfter a visit paid by Mr. Searle, Assistant Superintendent of Police, and with the Commissioner of Police's approval, Police evacuated from Nos.183 and 184 Mount Kellett Road owing to direct hits by shell fire, and the Station was moved to Nos.16 and 17 Hill Crest.\n\nWhilst on mobile patrol, the Unit arrested some looters seized by householders in Jubilee Street.\n\nSub-Inspector Smith's car, in which he was returning from Central, was hit by an H.E. shell near Magazine Gap. He escaped unhurt, though a Weihaiwei Police Constable with him received slight shell shock, and the car itself was smashed. He assisted the Military in clearing Magazine Gap Road of other damaged cars.\n\nAfter four days' fighting, the enemy gained possession of Repulse Bay, Chung Hom Kok, and the ridge of hills overlooking Stanley Peninsula.", "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": 579912, "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": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "page_number": 79, "title": "CO129-592-9 Future Policy in Hong Kong- Port Administration 13-1-1945 - 4-3-1946", "content_text": "(Copies to 5\n\nHon.

Terms of Reference\n\nThe Chairman opened the meeting by recalling that the Committee had been set up \"to consider and recommend measures for the future control and development of the port of Hong Kong\".\n\n2. Sir David Owen's Report\n\nThe Chairman explained that in 1941 Sir David Owen had prepared, at the request of the Government, a report on the control and development of the port, which had been circulated to the Chambers of Commerce in Hong Kong, published in the Hong Kong Press, agreed to by the majority of Executive Council, and forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Colonies by the Governor, with a recommendation that Sir David Owen's proposals be accepted, subject to minor amendments only. The Chairman mentioned certain criticisms of the Report which had been voiced before its final approval in Executive Council. The Committee agreed in principle with Sir David Owen's proposals and proceeded to discuss how they were to be put into effect.\n\n3. Political Future of the Colony\n\nIn reply to an enquiry from Mr. Lang, the Chairman gave it as his opinion that the Committee should proceed on the assumption that there would be no change from the pre-occupation form of administration of the Colony proper, viz:- Hong Kong and Kowloon. It was pointed out that any possible change in the status of the territories held under the 1898 Lease would affect the Owen Report in the matter of determining the harbour limits and the site of the Air Port.\n\n4. Appointment of Staff\n\nIt was reported by Mr. McElderry that the following appointments had been made with a view to the setting up of the Proposed Port Trust.\n\n(a) Chairman (designate) Mr. C.J.O. Colman,\n\nIt was explained that Mr. Colman, who was formerly a senior official of the Calcutta Port Trust and was at present representing the Ministry of War Transport in Basra, had been engaged in the first instance for two years.

Mr. Palmer, Mr. Kirkness and I have since discussed Mr. Bourdillon's draft telegram and have agreed that it would be well to expand it a little. The question of Hong Kong being required to make a contribution towards the extra cost involved in reinforcing the garrison has now been raised by the Treasury (`94003/10/49`). This is a matter which will need most careful examination. Last December Hong Kong was not given the assurance they asked for, viz. that the cost of the Defence Force would definitely be accepted as their sole contribution towards the cost of the defence of the Colony; they got something very near it. We cannot therefore go bald-headed at the matter in this telegram and hint openly at possible further liabilities for defence expenditure (particularly since in my view there is a considerable case for resisting Treasury pressure for the acceptance of such liability). The addition to the original draft of the telegram now made has not made known in my mind Hong Kong's future liabilities - partial cost of air port, entire cost of Reservoir scheme and also possible further security expenditure (either on Defence Force and Police, or perhaps towards the reinforcements). \n\n3.

Mr. Perdue stated that, in view of the lapse of time and uncertainty of information, he felt unable to express definite views regarding the undesirability of retaining individual members of the Police in the Force. He was, however, willing to go through the names of the police and see to what extent his own recollections and opinions concurred with those already expressed by other senior officers.\n\n3. The means of terminating the services of non-commissioned European members of the Police was discussed. Mr. Perdue said that it had been the practice to use non-renewal of agreement in certain cases to obtain compulsory retirement at the age of 45, although the ordinance provides for compulsory retirement only at 55. This non-renewal of agreement was used chiefly in the cases of persons (European and Asiatic) below the rank of Sub-Inspector, but it had been used for Sub-Inspectors and Inspectors. It was agreed that the opinions of the legal advisers and C.S.D. should be obtained regarding the termination of services of those ranks of the Police.\n\n4. Lt-Col. Sedgwick agreed to write to Hong Kong to obtain if possible a copy of the renewal agreements which were executed there. It was pointed out that individual members of the Force did not retain copies, nor were copies forwarded for record to the U.K.\n\n5. Mr. Pennefather-Evans agreed to give his permission or otherwise regarding applications for permission to marry made in this country by ex-internee members of the Force. It was agreed that such applicants should be asked to state the name of the lady they propose to marry in order that reference may be made to the Commissioner of Police.\n\n6. The question as to whether a man marrying without permission is liable to lose any rights under the Widows' and Orphans' Pension Scheme should be determined by reference to the appropriate authorities in the Colonial Office.\n\n7.\n\n8.

Perdue (former Commissioner of Police, Hong Kong) should be invited to attend a further meeting to be arranged as early as possible and that a list of the European Inspectors and other European subordinate members of the Force should be sent to him with the request that he should indicate those members of the Force whose services should not, in his opinion, be continued.\n\nIt was agreed that legal advice should be taken with regard to the removal from the Force of those members whose conduct prejudiced the future efficiency of the Police Department. In this connection it was observed that:\n\n(i) members below the rank of Sub Inspector might possibly be removed on grounds of abolition of office (since the new scheme provides that all Europeans in future will be ranked as Sub-Inspectors or higher)\n\n(ii) the Hong Kong Police Ordinance provides for confirmation on the pensionable establishment after 10 years' service, but it has nevertheless been the practice for members to continue service by renewal of agreements (usually for 5 years at a time). It was doubtful whether copies of these renewal agreements would be available in this country, as it was the practice to execute them always in Hong Kong.\n\n(iii) the majority of suspected \"bad hats\" are among the senior members of the Inspectorate grade.\n\nMr. Pennefather-Evans agreed to prepare a list of those members of the European Inspectorate whose return to duty in Hong Kong was free from objection. He would also indicate at what point on the salary scale each of these members should enter the new scheme and what should be the individual incremental dates.\n\nIt was agreed that a \"stock letter\" should be drafted, with a view to sending it to those former members of the European Inspectorate who would be returning to duty, giving them information about the new scheme and its application to former members of the Force.\n\nMr. Pennefather-Evans agreed to give his comments, paragraph by paragraph, on the points raised in Hong Kong savingram", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-607-5 Police Department- Indian Section 8-1-1946 - 15-9-1947.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 588891, "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": "CO129-608-2 Police Department- European inspectorate 18-2-1948 - 8-1-1949", "page_number": 47, "title": "CO129-608-2 Police Department- European inspectorate 18-2-1948 - 8-1-1949", "content_text": "ins Smeed 2110.

I am sorry to learn that you consider that final settlement of this matter will be delayed by the necessity of looking into the question of the scuttling of the S.S. \"Haradavang\" in Kowloon Harbour.\n\nWe naturally cannot comment fully on the possible effect of this scuttling on Hong Kong's claims as we have not got any information on the facts of the matter. At first sight, however, it seems to us that Hong Kong's claim cannot be affected by the scuttling. The position as we see it is that certain material was requisitioned by the Hong Kong War Supplies Board on behalf of the War Office; it was then delivered on board ship for shipment at the direction of the War Office (or their representatives).

In my letter to you of 14th March on this subject I mentioned that we were following up Lt. Col.

Walker's letter to Hong Kong so that further investigations could be made on the spot. We have not heard from Hong Kong and I enclose for your information a copy of Hong Kong Savingram No. 162 of 11th August.\n\nIt seems to us clear from the evidence in this savingram, taken with the recollections of Lt. Col. Walker and Mr. J. Smith, that a considerable amount of work was in fact undertaken in Hong Kong in connection with the 600 wagons with which we are concerned and a considerable expenditure by the Hong Kong Government; you will see from the latest savingram that this expenditure is put at a minimum of £105,000, and that this figure is based on accurate estimates of the quantities of materials supplied and on the prices current in 1941.\n\nWe therefore hope that the War Office will now feel able to accept the Hong Kong claim in full, i.e. £105,000, in respect of the Kowloon-Canton Railway (British Section) Claim (see paragraphs 3-6 of Hong Kong Savingram No. 974 of 25th November, 1949, enclosed in my letter of 5th January.\n\nTo\n\nLT.

The materials concerned were requisitioned by the Hong Kong Government War Supplies Board for the Director General of Transportation, Middle East and although it has been possible to arrive at satisfactory settlements of most of the claims in respect of these materials, the particular matter with which I am taking the liberty of troubling you at this very late date, has not proved possible of settlement owing to the lack of sufficient reliable evidence.\n\nIt appears that railway wagon materials held in stock by the Kowloon-Canton Railway on behalf of the Chinese Ministry of Communications were requisitioned and that as a result, 600 wagons were eventually delivered on board ship. The Kowloon-Canton Railway (British Section) have claimed for the cost of stripping, assembling, sorting, making-good and marking these 600 wagons and subsequently delivering them on board ship. The difficulty really turns on whether or not these wagons were in fact \"made good\". Hong Kong maintains that considerable expenditure was incurred in having missing materials manufactured and in this connection I quote from a recent communication of the Governor's:- \"it has been possible to collect some further though indirect evidence of the type of material supplied for preparing the 600 wagons. This consists of a letter from Mr. L.C. Su, Managing Director of the South China Iron Works Ltd., to the General Manager of the Kowloon-Canton Railway. Contracts totalling approximately $900,000 are believed to have been placed with this firm and with Messrs. Liu Hc Kou Iron Works Ltd. and Mr. Su indicates the type of articles which his firm was asked to manufacture. This clearly shows that the Kowloon-Canton Railway in preparing the 600 wagons for fabrication, had more to do than \"sorting, marking, preparing and delivering to ship\". Furthermore, it is known that the requirements of the War Supplies Board were considered of sufficient magnitude to justify the engagement temporarily of a Chinese Engineer to supervise their supply and in particular, to ensure that the 600 railway wagons were properly completed and shipped...\" I attach a copy of the letter to which the Governor refers.\n\nThe War Office on the other hand, maintains that this interpretation of the matter is not correct and that Hong Kong did not in fact incur the cost of manufacturing the missing materials to complete the fabrication of these 600 wagons. They say that the missing materials were not manufactured or obtained in Hong Kong but in India and that therefore they are not liable to Hong Kong for the cost of any materials but only for £28,650 being £3 per ton for 9,550 tons in respect of services, i.e. stripping assembling, sorting, marking and delivering.\n\nWe have been in touch with Lt. Col. Walker, who was in 1941 Manager of the Canton-Kowloon Railway and whilst he came down firmly in favour of the Governor's point of view on the question he said that he thought you would be able to supply fuller details on the matter than he could recall.\n\nIf you have any recollections of the matter at issue which could be of assistance to us in elucidating the true facts of the situation, we would be most grateful for any help you can give. As the matter is now somewhat urgent we would appreciate it if you could reply as soon as possible by air mail.\n\nYours sincerely,\n\n(Sgd) (H.P.
