It is also remarkable that the letter is dated the 10th April, namely four days after the destruction of his Junk fleet by Commodore Elliott. He is reported to have collected this with some difficulty, and to be now much embarrassed by applications from the owners of the vessels destroyed to replace them; yet he here offers to lay an embargo on junkers to support his assassins in the undertaking projected. Lastly, the reward offered is unusually and almost incredibly large. The letter is written by some one sufficiently accustomed to the use of the pen, but at the same time, so partially educated as to misemploy several characters.",

Bowring to the Earl of Clarendon.-(Received May 31.)  \nHong Kong, April 14, 1857.  \n\nI send your Lordship a report from Mr. Chinese Secretary Wade, giving an account of sundry documents seized on board a mandarin junk by the expedition commanded by Commodore Elliott, the successful issue of which I reported in my despatch `No. 179`, dated the 11th instant.  \n\nThese papers seem to connect the Imperial Commissioner, the mandarins, and the Canton Associations, with the atrocious acts of incendiarism, kidnapping, and assassination, which have menaced, and continue to menace, the Colony. They contain, moreover, satisfactory evidence of the efficacy of the precautions taken hitherto for the preservation of the persons and property of Her Majesty's subjects; precautions which I hope will conduct us safely through our perils.  \n\nAs there is no time to forward a copy of these documents to the Colonial Department, may I hope your Lordship will kindly cause this despatch and its inclosures to be communicated to Mr. Labouchere?  \n\nA digest of the contents of the documents above referred to is under preparation by Mr. Wade, but it is far too voluminous to be forwarded by the present mail.  \n\nI have, &c.  \n**(Signed) JOHN BOWRING.**\n\n## Inclosure 1.\n\nMr. Wade to Sir J. Bowring.  \nChinese Secretary's Office, Hong Kong, April 14, 1857.  \n\nI have the honour to inclose to your Excellency the Memorandum prepared by your desire of the contents of certain papers recently seized on board a mandarin junk by a party under the orders of Commodore Elliot. From the original pile, which was of considerable bulk, I selected between fifty and sixty papers having reference to recent events in and near this Colony; of these I have to lay before your Excellency rough translations of twelve, and in the accompanying Memorandum will be found, as nearly in order of time as I have been enabled to arrange them, all the items of intelligence contained in the whole collection of papers that appear to me deserving of record.  \n\nThe papers prove to be the correspondence of Chan-tsze-tin, the younger brother of Chan-kwei-tsih, President or Chief of the Committee of Hostility in Sau-on, the district on the coast of which Hong Kong is situated. The latter is a graduate of the degree of doctor, and formerly held office as a subordinate member of the Board of Revenue. His brother is a graduate, and the pupil of Su-ting-kwei, a member of the Han Lin College, one of the most important of the Canton gentry, and apparently the channel of communication between these brothers and the Governor General Yeh; by whose desire they repaired to their...  \n\nPage 406  \nEn 52426/57",

The Sybille, and myself, are in proof. If the course I pursued was in accordance with the instructions I received, I was the constant correspondent of Sir John Bowring, the Governor of Hong Kong, during the whole time I resided there, and was governed by his advice and wishes in every official act of the Consulate, in which he took a deep interest.\n\nIt was my practice to consult him, and I found his opinions in correspondence with my own. After a residence there of several years with Sir John Bowring, I communicated with Admiral Stirling and other high officers, and did not imagine that I had, during that entire time, done one act contrary to their wishes and interests, or those of Her Majesty's Government.\n\nYour Lordship can judge of my feelings of pain and astonishment when, six months after my departure from Hong Kong, I was informed by M.J. Mercer, Esquire, Colonial Secretary, that Your Lordship had withdrawn the Exequatur granted to me by Sir John Bowring as the New Granadian Consul, without reason being assigned. When this news reached me in Europe, I applied to the New Granadian Minister, who stated that he had heard nothing of it and presumed it was in consequence of his not having obtained for me Her Majesty's Exequatur, for which he had applied in London.",

TUNGCHOW was over 24 hours overdue at Hai Hai Wei, and that Messrs. Butterfield and Swire had heard nothing of her since leaving Shanghai, there were several possibilities to be considered, namely -\n\n1.\n\n2.\n\nA breakdown or navigational mishap on her normal route to the North.\n\nPiracy with subsequent landing either in the vicinity of the Yellow River mouth, 600 miles north of the Yangtse, or in the vicinity of Great Sands, 200 miles north of the Yangtse, or anywhere down the China coast as far as and including the vicinity of Hong Kong.\n\nThe movements ordered in my 1102 and 1103 were to meet as many of these eventualities as possible with the ships available, while keeping H.M.S. GRIMSBY at Shanghai for communication purposes.\n\n6.\n\nThe able Commodore, Hong Kong (Commodore F.Elliott, O.B.E., R.N.) at 1145 on 1st February made a signal to the anti-piracy patrol to \"Proceed with despatch to establish patrol off Chilang Point and endeavour to intercept the S.S.TUNG CHOW which may have been pirated while en route from Shanghai to Chefoo. She could arrive off Chilang today, Friday\".\n\n7.\n\nAt 1830 on 1st February I received information from the SUFFOLK in a signal timed 1804 to the following effect :-\n\nTO : C-in-C.\n\nFrom : SUFFOLK.\n\nIMPORTANT.\n\nbegins :-\n\nThe following signal just received Cape d'Aguilar from S.S.

HERMES, which was carrying out flying exercises to the eastward of Hong Kong during the forenoon of 1st February (when the anti-piracy destroyer was ordered to proceed with despatch to Chilang Point at the eastern end of Hong Hai Bay) flew off two flights of aircraft at 1346 and 1436 respectively, which searched the coastline and 30 miles to the seaward, from Mirs Bay as far as Breaker Point, the latter being about 60 miles eastward of Chilang Point. It was one of her aircraft which alarmed the pirates and caused them to land and bolt inland without taking any hostages and with practically no loot.\n\nThe Commodore, Hong Kong, in addition to giving orders to the Anti-Piracy Patrol, had also rung up Canton",

As regards the detection and punishment of the pirates, Messrs. Butterfield and Swire have, at my suggestion, offered a reward of H.K.$2,500 for information leading to the arrest and identification of the pirate leader, and the Canton Government have offered a further $5,000, $2,000 for the arrest of the No.1 pirate, and $3,000 for the gang. Messrs. Butterfield and Swire have also arranged for the Master and Chief Officer of the \"Tungchow\" to be sent South and to be held available to identify any pirates caught. The matter now seems to be in the hands of the Cantonese, who are, however, being kept up to the mark by H.M. Consul General, Canton, and myself. On our instigation, notice of the rewards offered is being broadcast by press, radio, and cinema.\n\n24. A very full report of the statements of those on the \"Tungchow\" has just been received from the Hong Kong Police. I am anxious that this should be read carefully by my staff officers as soon as possible, and it is then intended to forward it for your perusal in the Blue Funnel S.S. HECTOR, due at Singapore approximately 19th February. As the report is very long and only one copy has been received, it is submitted that it may be returned to me later.\n\n25. In conclusion, I feel that the successful outcome of a piracy on a British ship, following so soon after the Shuntien case, is a most severe blow to British prestige in general, and to that of the firm of Butterfield and Swire in particular. The only answer to this reproach is the capture and punishment of the leader and his gang, and it is for this reason that I have been pressing the Cantonese authorities to do their utmost.\n\n(Sgd) Frank Elliott.\n\nCOMMODORE.",

Personnel should be exercised in the use of these ladders as opportunity offers.\n\nHe gave also the object of the Anti-piracy patrol as being \"to prevent piracy by the interception of pirated vessels of all nationalities brought to the coast between Fengshau Island, Mirs Bay and Hei Chau Chi Bay, and the capture of the pirates at all costs.' (The underlining is mine).\n\n#17. I did not, however, agree with such a strong action being definitely ordered, and gave the following instruction:\n\n#1. Whilst concurring that it is most desirable that the pirates should be apprehended if practicable, I do not consider that the suggested wording of the object adequately expresses the purpose of the anti-piracy patrol, nor can I subscribe to the principle that the pirates must be captured at all costs. The preservation of the lives of the European Officers and passengers is of greater importance than the capture of the pirates and this must always be borne in mind in framing the anti-piracy orders.\n\nFurthermore, it is undesirable to issue precise instructions to anti-piracy vessels as to their procedure for effecting the apprehension of pirates. This must be a matter for the decision of the Commanding Officer, who will act as he thinks best in the circumstances prevailing in each individual case.\n\n#18. Finally, just before he left the Station on 12th April, 1935, Commodore Elliott, who is a most able officer, addressed his letter No.HK530 of that date to me (copy attached) to which I sent the reply attached.\n\n/19.",

Whether a threat to torture or kill all Europeans if attacked would be carried out is not known; it is certain that such a threat would be made, and in the light of this it appears that a Commanding Officer has no option but to hold his hand.\n\n6. This very difficult (and very ignominous) situation does not arise, however, until the pirates have captured the ship or the first class accommodation at least; and it is submitted therefore that the first and only real precaution against piracy must, as stated in your No.494/1034 of 28th March, 1935, report on the \"Tungchow\" piracy be the proper protection of the ship internally so that the officers' quarters are shut off from the rest of the ship, and a resolute defence by the officers and guards. I very much hope that, in view of this expression of your opinion, these will be carried into effect. Once it is known that a ship is properly protected and that the officers and guards will fight, the very difficult problem with which Commanding Officers may be faced at present will automatically vanish, since they will know when they receive an alarm that the Europeans onboard are safe and praying for the arrival of a ship of war instead of fearing its arrival as now), and that all that is required of the patrol vessel is a quick arrival on the scene; in other words action instead of forced inaction. If approved, it would be proposed to inform shipping companies accordingly.\n\n(Sgd.) F. ELLIOTT.\n\nCommodore.",

I replied that I quite saw the dangers he mentioned, but that if the Bank took a hand in it we would require a guarantee from the British Government holding us free from any political interference whatsoever so that in the event of Macao falling into other hands our advance would be refunded to us if our concession was cancelled by newcomers.\n\nHe informed me that representations had been wired home to the Admiralty by him, to the War Office by the G.O.C., and to the Head of the Air Force in London by that branch here. I also understood that the scheme had, shall I say, the blessing of the Hongkong Government.\n\nI was also given to understand in a private conversation with the G.O.C. that word had been received from London that the matter was being, or had been, favourably considered.\n\nI am reasonably satisfied that as a commercial proposition the scheme should be successful, and when properly installed and in working order a public company can be formed to take it over.",

Their bearing at the various parades which they attended showed them to be keen and smart. The credit for this progress is entirely due to the unfailing patience and tact of Mr. F.J. Woodward, Commissioned Gunner, Royal Navy, and Francis H. Kelland, Petty Officer, Gunner's Mate, Official Number D/J.30116, both of H.M.S. \"Tamar\".\n\nIt is intended to institute examinations of ratings for the rate of Petty Officer, to promote keenness and efficiency.\n\nParades, etc.\n\n18. \n19.

        "content_text": "38\n\nConfidential Report of Mrs. Andrew Lusk Shields to the Colonial Office, London.\n\nIdentification:\n\nI am Aloha Ellison Shields, American, wife of Andrew Lusk Shields, British, senior partner in Shewan Tomes and Co., Ltd., one of the oldest importing and exporting firms in the Far East. Mr. Shields, who has been in Hongkong thirty-five years, is a member of the Executive and Legislative Councils. He is on the Board of Directors of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and is also a Director in many other prominent companies of Hongkong.\n\nIn 1932 he aided Commodore Elliott in forming the Hongkong Naval Volunteer Reserves and was made Commander of that Company. After several years he resigned on account of bad health and was made Honourary Commander. He was on the Shipping Board and many other war committees. For many years he was President of the Navy League and Commodore of the Royal Hongkong Yacht Club. In 1939 he joined the company styled the \"Hughesiliers\", which was made up of the older business men of the Colony. They trained at the Hongkong Electric Company's plant and were ordered there when the attack came on December 8th, 1941. As Mr. Shields was in the hospital with severe bronchitis, he was unable to join his company and when he left the hospital on December 13th he was ordered by his doctor to remain at home and not to report for duty until December 21st. It was at this plant that so many prominent men were killed, including Mr. T.E. Pearce, Sir Edward des Voeux, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Sorby.\n\nMr. Jan Henrick Marsman, who was at the Repulse Bay Hotel at the time it was surrendered to the Japanese, has written articles in the Saturday Evening Post June 6th, 13th and 20th and also has published these articles in book form. While these articles are substantially correct as to the major details, they are filled with exaggeration as to the part Mr. Marsman played and also as to some of the events which took place. Mr. Marsman was not on any committee and was merely an onlooker. One thing that was absolutely untrue was his statement that after the soldiers had been evacuated from the hotel, two men came back and that they were forced to leave the hotel and that we heard the Japanese shoot them. Several men lost their way and did come back to the hotel, but they were immediately given civilian clothes and they are now in the Civilian Internment Camp at Stanley. The Japanese do not know they belonged to the fighting forces. Mr. Marsman also stated that all the soldiers who were evacuated were either captured or killed by the Japanese. That is absolutely untrue. General Maltby told Mr. Shields on Christmas morning when he took the order of surrender from the Japanese General to the Governor that he considered we had done a splendid job at the hotel in evacuating the fighting men and that every man so evacuated had reached Stanley. It is true that many of them were afterward killed at Stanley. Mr. Marsman's statement regarding the raping of two women at the Kowloon Hotel is absolutely untrue. The Japanese guards did bother them, but they were not touched. Also his statements regarding the atrocities at Stanley were greatly exaggerated. It is true that when the Japanese soldiers first landed on the Island there was a great deal of raping especially in the North Point and Happy Valley districts and at the Happy Valley Race Course where a hospital had been established. There were many cases where women were raped for hours on end and mistreated generally. This I have heard from the women concerned.",
