The news came in on Sunday afternoon, and as soon as it was known the Tien-chu Tang people and the Siao-hsiao T'ang people fled by boat to Rao-cheo. A number of stories then began to be circulated, and by Monday evening there was a good deal of \"iao-ien,\" and folks were coming in advising me to leave. However, I didn't put much faith in their stories, and was sorry the Catholics had gone away. Their going caused a sort of panic among the street people, and they were gathering up their \"tong-si\" and going off by boat as fast as they could. The \"Tong-hsiang\" here is a bad district, and about eighty roughs gathered there, The Lao-ie offered a reward of 1,000 dollars for the leader's head, and on Friday morning he and his soldiers went out to the \"Tong-hsiang\" and seized six men and beheaded them, and fired on the crowd, killing other five. One of these five was identified by the country-people as the leader, so the heads of the seven were brought in and hung up on the gates of the city. So praise the Lord, He has saved us from trouble, sending this new Lao-ie just at this time to \"pan\" this affair. I don't think the old Lao-ie would have had the courage to do as this one has done. I hear he is only 35 or 36—rather young to be in office, isn't it? I hear to-day that soldiers have been sent for, and that 400 (?) are expected this afternoon. It has been an exciting time, but we have all been kept free from fear.\n\nMiss Hettie Fleming came on a long-promised visit on Wednesday, and would have stayed over Sunday had things not quieted down, but as it was she returned to S. C. Kiai yesterday afternoon, hoping to be back in Nan-nien to-night.\n\nAFFAIRS OF CHINA.\n\nCONFIDENTIAL.\n\n[4365]\n\n(No. 595.) Sir,\n\nNo. 1.\n\n[February 8.]\n\nSECTION 4\n\nC.O.\n\n7780\n\nRec?

This letter appeared to me to be wanting in tact and likely to produce the friction which Mr. Phelips wished to avoid, and I, therefore, instructed the Assistant Auditor, Mr. Cormack, to hand the letter to the Colonial Secretary. On his return from leave Mr. Dallin asked for the letter, and I authorised the Colonial Secretary to hand it to him. The result was much what I expected as the enclosed copy of a letter from Mr. Dallin shows.

I humbly submit the following facts.\n\nThe Audit Department, Hong Kong, European Staff consists of 1 Auditor, 2 Assistant Auditors and one Chief Clerk. In 1911, owing to the Auditor being on duty and on leave in Wei-hai-Wei, and one Assistant Auditor being on leave and afterwards transferred to another Colony I had to perform the duties during the whole summer of the Auditor and two Assistant Auditors.\n\nIn 1912, owing to the absence of the Auditor from the Colony and the sickness of the Assistant Auditor, I performed the duties of Auditor and two Assistant Auditors during the summer months. In 1913 the Auditor was also away from the Colony and the Assistant Auditor and Chief Clerk were also away, and I was therefore left by myself to carry on the work during the whole summer.\n\nIn 1914 I again performed the duties of Auditor in addition to my own duties, besides which, His Excellency the Governor, in addition to my duties, appointed me an\n\nThe Under Secretary of State for the Colonies,\n\nPage 180\n\nPage 181\n\nww", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-440 - Others & Individuals - 1916.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 467493, "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": "CO129-441 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [1-3]", "page_number": 262, "title": "CO129-441 - Governor Sir May - 1917 [1-3]", "content_text": "259\n\nFOITTELU Mindreo yd y/ Leitnahknop aber eremedede\n\nInkommit Tiedt geikregor areol\" 10\n\nrevij .000,1% od 000% ̧#vie71⁄2å poental)\n\nMR.

Mr. Brayn is at present in this country on extended leave, being at present under medical treatment, but the Medical Adviser thinks that he will be fit to go to Hong Kong within two months of the present time.\n\nWhen previously serving as Assistant Auditor in Hong Kong, Mr. Brayn's salary (from the 10th August 1910) was $420 rising by £10 triennially (the increments being subsequently altered to £15 annually) to £540, and, had he remained in that Colony, instead of being transferred, for official convenience, first to Nyasaland and then to Nigeria, his salary would now have been (as from the 10th August 1917) £525, and it seems to me to be only right that, in the event of his re-transfer to Hong Kong, he should be permitted to resume his proper relative position on the local audit establishment of that Colony, with the accrued salary at the rate of £525 per annum, especially as this is the rate of salary which Mr. Dallin, the other Assistant Auditor in Hong Kong, who is junior to Mr. Brayn on the establishment of the Colonial Audit Department, is now receiving.\n\nREC\n\n1691", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-446 - Others & Individuals - 1917.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 475347, "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": 344, "title": "CO129-446 - Others & Individuals - 1917", "content_text": "DOWNING STREET\n\n29 August, 1917.\n\nI have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your telegram of the 13th August, regarding the appointment of Second Assistant Auditor for the Colony, and to inform you that I learn from the Director of Colonial Audit that Mr. Harcourt was reported in April last by a Medical Board to be suffering from tuberculosis, and that he was on their advice granted four and a half months' vacation leave and recommended not to return to Fiji. The Director is unaware whether as the result of a further medical examination in New Zealand, which he understands has been arranged for, Mr. Harcourt has been found fit to return to Fiji. In any case, the Director is not prepared to recommend Mr. Harcourt for the post in Hong Kong.\n\n2. In due course the Director will recommend a suitable candidate for the post in question, but I understand that there is no reason for urgency in the matter, as had Mr. Cormack lived, the Director had contemplated that he should be granted leave of absence from the Colony in view of his unsatisfactory medical history, and of his having completed nearly five years' continuous service.\n\nSIR P.

The \"Sunning\" incident, in my opinion, completely and effectively answers this question.\n\n(b) The Officers and Engineers who participated in the fight with the pirates on board the \"Sunning\" have been presented by the C.N.Co. with chronometers, binoculars or gold watches. Also a reimbursement of £100 was made in the case of Beatty, Hurst, Orr and Duncan and grants ranging from $100 to $1,200 were made in the case of wireless operators, compradores, stewards, cooks, quartermasters, sailors and firemen, etc. who had the misfortune to lose their effects when the ship was burnt.\n\nIn addition to the foregoing, the Government have made the following monetary grants to the officers of the \"Sunning\", namely:-\n\nChief Engineer Cormack £100\n\nChief officer Beatty £100\n\nSecond officer Hurst £100\n\nSecond Engineer Orr £25\n\nThird Engineer Duncan £25\n\nBoatswain $100\n\nFurthermore, both Beatty and Hurst have been decorated as officers of the British Empire by H.M. Government.\n\n(d) No officer has yet been killed in resisting piracy, but in the case of those disabled the firm have fully compensated the men, we understand, to their complete satisfaction.\n\nJ.

The movement was started by Mr. R. W. Byrde, Mayor, at the end of 1916 and in February, 1917, the Council voted Rs. 2500/- to cover the following:\n\n| Apparatus and equipment for games | Salary of Instructor for one year | Contingencies | Total |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Rs. 1100/- | 1200/- | 200/- | Rs. 2500/- |\n\nAn Instructor was appointed on Rs. 100/- a month and later on the Council sanctioned a fee of Rs. 50/- a month to be paid to Mr. Cammack of the V.M.C.A. for supervising the playground work and instructing the Playground Instructor. Price Park in the Pettah was the first playground opened.\n\n2. Since then the movement has increased and at the present time there are nine playgrounds in various parts of the City, mostly in a portion of existing parks though some have been specially constructed, e.g., one on the foreshore of Watersmeet and another on land bought and filled in for the purpose in Jampettah Street.\n\n3. The Staff at present consists of a Chief Playground Instructor, who is the original playground Instructor since promoted, who was in 1927 placed on the step Rs. 2100/- a year in a new scale which rises to Rs. 3180/- a year by increments of Rs. 120/-. He was also granted a Motorcycle and Side-car Allowance of Rs. 900/- a year.\n\n4. There are five other full-time Instructors whose pay rises from Rs. 1200/- to Rs. 2400/- by annual increments of Rs. 60/-. They draw a rickshaw allowance of Rs. 35/- a month.\n\n5. There are four part-time Instructors who attend their playgrounds between 1 and 6.30 p.m. daily for Rs. 50/- a month. Two of these are ladies who attend to the two playgrounds for girls included in the above nine.\n\n6. The YMCA, Royapet House, Royapet, Madras, has a department of Physical Training and Health Education which conducts courses of instruction in physical training and games of 3, 6 or 12 months duration. They have trained a large number of Instructors in India and several of our Instructors in Colombo have been sent there for one or other of their courses.\n\n7. The playgrounds though available all day are actually chiefly used after 4 p.m. when the Instructors attend in order to organize football, volleyball, basketball and such other games as there may be room for. They also see that the smaller children have a fair share of the swings, see-saws and giant strides. The full-time Instructors are also expected to get into touch with the children in their homes to encourage them to attend the playgrounds, to organize football clubs, to try and find employment for them as they grow up, to get them out of scrapes and generally to do what they can for them. This side of the work requires and is capable of considerable development. An off-shoot of the playground movement is the City Football League of bare-footers which consists of something like 3000 members and some 30 or 40 clubs. The League matches are very popular and attract large crowds. They are chiefly played on Saturday afternoons or Sundays as the players are chiefly youths who are employed during the week. There is also a Juvenile League for the younger boys and various shields and cups have been presented for these Leagues and also for the Volley Ball League.\n\n8. I induced the Girl Guides to start the girls' playgrounds which they did by visiting the homes and inducing the girls to attend. When each got started a part-time Instructress was appointed to take over the work and to be present every day. Recently, as the work in one such playground flagged somewhat, I have got the Girl Guides to visit it once or twice a week to buck it up and to create a fresh interest and new ideas.\n\n9. In the last few years we have organized in December Inter-playground sports at which teams from the playgrounds compete against each other so as to encourage team spirit and not individual effort. These have been a success and occasionally the Governor has attended to distribute the prizes.\n\n**Municipal Council, Colombo** \n19.12.29 \n**H. E.
