I at once communicated with Lieut.-Col. Mainwaring, Commdg. 2nd Bn. Royal Welsh Fusiliers, who arrived at Head-Quarter House in a remarkably short time. Subsequently, at about 1:50 A.M., I received from Your Excellency the attached order to send troops to relieve Mr. May. I ordered out 100 men of the Royal Welsh to be at Murray Pier in an hour's time to be ready to embark in any craft which could be prepared at so short a notice. At 2:50 A.M., the men were at Murray Pier ready for embarkation with food and ammunition.\n\nOwing to Your Excellency's forethought, I found a number of police launches ready at the Pier, and having, by means of them, ascertained that H.M.S. \"Whiting\" was able to accommodate the whole party,", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-290 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [1-4].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 371877, "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": "CO129-291 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [5-6]", "page_number": 626, "title": "CO129-291 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [5-6]", "content_text": "building.\n\n2.
