A capital dancing floor was prepared. The ante-room was decorated in the same way, and a portion of the Chamber of Commerce room was partitioned off and a refreshment buffet established there.\n\nThe entrance hall and staircase were also very effectively decorated with pot plants and wreaths of green leaves, presenting a very pleasing appearance.\n\nThe banquet commenced at 7.15 o'clock p.m., the Band playing \"The Roast Beef of Old England.\" The following were the after-dinner speeches:-\n\n## Speech of the Chief Justice\n\nThe CHAIRMAN- The first toast on the list for this evening is the usual loyal toast, the health of Her Majesty the Queen. I ask you to join me in drinking that toast.\n\nThe toast was drunk upstanding, with three cheers.\n\nThe Band- \"God Save the Queen.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN- The next toast on the list is the health of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family.\n\nThe toast was drunk with similar honours. The Band- \"God Bless the Prince of Wales.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN- Gentlemen, the next toast I have to propose is the health of His Excellency the Governor. (Applause). We are met together on this occasion, as you all know, in compliment to his Excellency the Governor, and for the purpose of bidding him farewell publicly, as he is shortly about to depart from us, in all probability never to return. It is now nearly three years since he first assumed the government of this Colony. He came to us at a somewhat critical period of our history, no novice in the management of affairs, but as an old and tried Governor, with great experience in the conduct of business, having successfully governed some of the most important colonies in the British empire-colonies which have already made a place in history and which are undoubtedly destined to take a foremost place among the nations of the world. (Cheers). For his services before he came amongst us, he had already received from the hands of Her Majesty one of the highest rewards that it is usual to bestow for distinguished public service, viz., the Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George. (Applause).\n\nHis services to this community have been recognized on more than one occasion, and only recently in their farewell address by the Legislative Council-(applause)-body which, comprising as it does nearly all the members of the Executive Council in addition to some of the leading members of the general community, has naturally been brought into more intimate relationships with the Governor than any other portion of the public and is best able to judge of their value. (Hear, hear).\n\nIt would ill become me on the present occasion and in the present assembly, which is not met together for political purposes, and especially in my position, to enter into any question having any bearing upon politics. (Hear, hear). This I can say for myself that I know that His Excellency has always taken a very great interest in everything that he considered was for the best interest of the community-(applause)-and I think I can take it upon myself in the name of all who are present to assure the Governor in similar language to that used by the Legislative Council in its farewell address, that his administration will always be associated in our minds with much personal kindness, consideration, and hospitality (cheers)-a hospitality which I may observe owed a great portion of its charm to the deserved popularity of Lady Bowen and her daughters in the first portion of His Excellency's administration, a hospitality which was not slackened during their necessary but regretted absence, and which has again during the last few months been brightened by the presence of one of His Excellency's daughters and of his only son. (Renewed and prolonged applause).\n\nI am sure also that we all sympathize with the Governor in the prospect of his approaching retirement from public life. It will undoubtedly be a trial to him to give up the active pursuits in which he has been hitherto engaged, the pleasures as well as the anxieties of public life, and the degree of state to which he has been accustomed, for the comparative simplicity and retirement of private life. We have all of us, however, to look forward to relinquishing the active pursuits of life, but there is some consolation for us all if we are able to carry with us in our retirement the assurance that in the days of our activity we faithfully endeavoured to perform our various duties to the best of our ability. (Applause).\n\nBut the Governor, with his experience, need not, unless he pleases, live merely a life of lettered ease, and there are more useful services in which he can be engaged than even in administering the affairs of an important Colony such as this. There has been of late a growing tendency both in the mother country and in the Colonies to tighten and strengthen the bonds of union now existing between them-(applause)-and there has also been a growing and strong desire to enter into closer relationship between ourselves and our great kindred nation. (Hear, hear).\n\nNext year will be an eventful year in this respect. The new buildings of The Royal Colonial Institute will be opened-a Society of which Sir George Bowen has long been a member-(applause)-and which, together with its off-shoot, the Empire Club, has done so much to bring Colonial questions prominently forward before the public at home. Leading colonists from all parts of the Empire will take part in the Colonial Exhibition, to which we are about sending our modest contribution, including many from Colonies over which Sir George Bowen has had the honour during his long career of having been appointed Governor.\n\nThere will also be the American Exhibition of Inventions, which will attract to London many of the leading citizens of the United States, and to welcome whom a Council consisting of most of the leading men in the British possessions, and amongst whom I have no doubt Sir George Bowen's name is already to be found, has been formed by American residents in London and promoters of the Exhibition, avowedly for the purpose of strengthening the friendly relationships between the great English-speaking nations who have one language and one literature in common, whose great men and our great men, and whose noble women and our noble women are the same-(applause)-and who all inherit the glorious deeds and love of liberty of our ancestors. (Renewed applause).\n\nAnd to crown all, it will be the jubilee year of our Most Gracious Sovereign Her Majesty the Queen. (Loud cheers). The movements which have commenced cannot fail to be accelerated by these events, and His Excellency will no doubt be called upon to take an active part in them, and if, as the result of the consultations and deliberations which are even now taking place, any satisfactory measures can be discovered which will have the effect of bringing Great Britain and Ireland, their colonies and dependencies into closer union, especially if in addition we and our kindred nation, the Great Republic of the United States of America (loud applause)-the citizens of whom I believe venerate and respect our Queen in almost if not in quite the same degree as we do ourselves (applause)-could be brought closer and more unitedly together, it would be of so great a service to the world at large as to reflect the highest amount of credit and honour on all concerned in bringing it about. (Hear, hear).\n\nSuch a union would hold out no menace to foreign powers but would, I should hope, have a tendency to hasten the period when reason and not force, right and not might, shall prevail among all the nations of the earth. (Cheers).\n\nIn conclusion, I may say I know that I can safely assure the Governor of the best wishes of you all (hear, hear and cheers)-that he may have a safe and pleasant voyage home-that he may thoroughly enjoy himself during his stay in that old and interesting country which he purposes visiting on his way-(hear, hear)-that he may have a happy meeting with the remainder of his family in England (applause)-and, if so be that he never returns to us again, we trust that he will continue to take the same kindly interest in the welfare of the Colony that he has taken since the first day he came among us-(hear, hear)-and that, again using similar language to that contained in the address before referred to, we hope that he may long enjoy the rest earned by more than a quarter of a century's service and that his unequalled experience may be found of service in the Councils of the Empire. (Cheers).\n\nI have now the great pleasure of proposing the health of His Excellency the Governor, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, and to ask you to unite with me in wishing him all happiness, prosperity, and success in his future career. (Loud cheers).\n\nThe Band- \"God Save the Queen.\"\n\nThe toast was drunk with musical honours and three times three.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY, who was received with prolonged and most enthusiastic applause, said- Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I thank His Honour the Chief Justice for the flattering and eloquent speech in which he has just proposed my health-a speech, I may add, which derives additional weight and significance from his own high office and character, which are most fully appreciated throughout this Colony. (Applause).\n\nPage 150\nPage 151",

        "content_text": "Extract from the \"Hongkong Daily Press\" of the 26th November, 1909.\n\nTHE KING'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS. UNVEILING OF STATUES. PICTURESQUE CEREMONIES.\n\nYesterday having been fixed for the local celebration of the anniversary of the birthday of His Majesty King Edward, the day was observed as a general holiday and advantage was taken of the occasion to unveil the statues of Queen Alexandra and the Princess of Wales. The usual review at the Happy Valley—a picturesque and striking pageant—was cancelled, but the ceremonial in Statue Square when the statues were exposed to public view was very imposing, and the review of the naval brigade in the Dockyard was not the least attractive feature of the day's programme.\n\nAdequate arrangements had been made for the unveiling ceremony. Two stands were erected for the convenience of residents, but many preferred the greater view obtained from the verandahs of the adjacent buildings, even the Law Courts having a large quota of spectators. The troops of the Garrison were massed on all sides of the square, and in addition to the Hongkong Volunteers, the colours of six regiments were borne by their standard bearers at the rear of the Queen Victoria Statue. The bright array of soldiers with their glansing bayonets was the most prominent element in the thrilling spectacle, and the vastness of the Empire was well illustrated by the turbanned sons of India marching with the helmeted soldiers of the King. Beautiful sunshine brought out every detail of the picturesque display, and the large throng of spectators felt compensated for the loss of the usual review at the Happy Valley.\n\nJust before 10 o'clock H.E. the Governor, accompanied by H.E. the General Officer Commanding, and Commodore Lyon, with their respective aides-de-camp and secretaries in attendance, arrived on the scene, and was received with a royal salute, the band of the Buffs striking up the National Anthem. When the music had ceased the gubernatorial party, accompanied by members of the Coronation Committee, proceeded to the specially-erected platform in front of the statue of Her Royal Highness Queen Alexandra, where the first unveiling ceremony took place.\n\nHon. Mr. E. A. Hewitt, in asking his Excellency to undertake the unveiling, told of the conditions leading up to the obtaining of Her Majesty's statue. He hoped that for many a long year the statue would remain not only as a memorial to the gracious lady it represented, but also a token of the amity and good fellowship which existed between the various nationalities who combined to make up the cosmopolitan population of Hongkong. He asked his Excellency, as a small souvenir of the event, to accept a replica of the Coronation medal, and to unveil the statue.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said: Mr. Hewitt, Ladies and Gentlemen,—The Chairman of the Coronation Committee has already recalled to your memory the circumstances connected with the origin of this beautiful statue of our Gracious Queen. Its erection is an indication of the deep-seated loyalty of this Colony to our Sovereign, whose throne is the symbol and bond of unity between all parts of the British Empire. We pride ourselves here in Hongkong upon our loyalty and patriotism, and I doubt if any Crown Colony can rival this fine group of statues of our late revered Queen, of Their Gracious Majesties who now reign over us, of Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, who at some future date will be our King and Queen. As we wish long life to the King, so we desire that that date may be long deferred. It would be superfluous for me to say more than a very few words regarding Her Gracious Majesty the Queen. Admiration and love for her lie deep in the heart of every British subject. During all the 46 years that she has been among us those feelings have ever grown deeper and stronger. We regard her as one of the most regally endowed of Queens, and as the type and example that is best in womanhood. Her devotion to the duties of her high station and the success and charm with which she has performed them, as well as her never-failing sympathy with sorrow and suffering, are known to us all. You have erected this statue not only as an emblem of loyalty, but as a mark of admiration and love of the noble lady who is our most gracious Sovereign. It will give Their Majesties, I am sure, special pleasure to learn that this statue was subscribed for not only by their loyal subjects in this Colony, but by many who owe allegiance to other and friendly Sovereigns. They desired no doubt in this way to express their admiration of our Queen, to testify to the benefits they have received under the King's Government in this Colony, and to bear witness to the cordial relations which have existed between them and His Majesty's subjects in Hongkong. It will ever be a source of gratification to me that I have been asked to perform the ceremony of unveiling this statue to-day on the anniversary of His Majesty's Birthday, and the replica of the Coronation Medal which the Chairman has presented to me will be a valued memento of the occasion. In the name of the subscribers, I now unveil the statue and present it as a memorial for all time to the Colony of Hongkong.\n\nThe Governor then pulled a rope, the shroud obscuring Her Gracious Majesty fell away, and from the surrounding scaffolding four Union Jacks fluttered bravely in the breeze, while the band of the Buffs struck up the music accompanying a royal salute and the spectators raised cheers for Her Majesty.\n\nPage 587\n\nJAN 10]",

        "content_text": "The Governor and Committee then crossed the square to the shrouded statue of the Princess of Wales, which was next to be revealed. All round the enclosed statue were squads of the Buffs, and in close vicinity were the Hongkong Volunteers, who were in charge of Captains Andrews, Wolfe and Craik.\n\nThe enclosed square from which the unveiling ceremony was conducted was occupied by His Excellency the Governor, Major General Broadwood and Commodore Lyon, and by Mr. H. N. Mody, the generous donor of the statue. Mr. H. N. Mody said:-Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is with the greatest pleasure that I now call upon your Excellency to unveil, and take over for the community, the statue of Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales. The embellishment of the very few open spaces we possess in this Colony is, I think, an object worthy of the attention of those who have the good fortune to be able to take hand in doing so, nor can this object be better attained than by the erection of statues of those to whom we owe allegiance, devotion and love. It was, therefore, with the greatest pleasure that, on the opportunity being afforded me to do something in this line, I offered, subject to the sanction of His Majesty Our King and to the consent of the Royal Personage immediately concerned, to present to the Colony the statue you are now about to unveil. His Majesty's sanction was readily granted, and Her Royal Highness very graciously consented to give the necessary sittings to Mr Wade, the sculptor selected whose works of art are numerous and well known, and I am given to understand he has produced a very speaking likeness, which it is now my proud pleasure to present to this Colony. We may well be proud of the fact that we hold the honour of possessing the very first statue of our Gracious Princess that has as yet been erected, though one is now being prepared for India. Like our present Gracious Queen, the Princess of Wales has always shown a keen interest in all works of mercy and charity. Long may she be spared to do so. With these few remarks I now ask your Excellency to unveil the statue.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said Mr. Mody, Ladies and Gentlemen,-The addition of this statue of H.R.H. the Princess of Wales completes the group which forms our \"Royal Square,\" and so soon as the building sheds, which I regret will still for some time disfigure it, are removed, this Square will form a worthy and dignified approach to the Colony from the sea. The statue has been presented by Mr. H. N. Mody, who is ever ready to come forward to promote the welfare and add to the beauty and utility of the Colony, in which he has spent the greater part of his life. In the name of the Colony I thank him for his generous gift. Of Her Royal Highness and of the Prince of Wales it may be said that no prospective King and Queen of England have ever travelled so largely and seen so much of the British Empire as they have. It is significant of the increased importance with which the British Colonies are now regarded by the Mother country that their Royal Highnesses should thus have made themselves personally familiar with the sister nations whose destinies are linked with those of the British Isles, and with the Colonies, which, like Hongkong, are so important to the trade and to the naval supremacy of Great Britain. We are also proud that our future Queen will be the first for many centuries to be British-born. May Their Royal Highnesses be spared by Providence long lives, so that in due course they may reign over a united and loyal and patriotic Empire! At the request of the generous donor I now unveil the statue, and present it in his name to the Colony to which in so many ways he has been a benefactor.\n\nA bugle then sounded, the shroud enclosing the statue fell, and four Union Jacks were run up to the corner poles of the scaffolding which had enclosed the Princess. The band then played, a royal salute was given and all hats were doffed to the revivified Princess.\n\nTHE MARCH PAST.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, the General Officer Commanding, the Commodore and the General Staff then mounted the steps of the Queen's Statue to view the march past,\n\nThe Union Jack Was unfurled on the flagstaff, and naval gunners near Queen's Statue Pier fired a salute. The booming of the guns and the cheers of the spectators proved a hearty \"Health to His Majesty,\" and the troops started on the march past.\n\nThe Bluejackets, with their machine-like evolutions, well filled the premier post in the pageant, while the marines took second place with no less distinction. Then followed the Royal Artillery, the H.K.S.B.R.G.A., the Royal Engineers, the Buffs with their historical colours, the Volunteers, the Mahrattas and the Rajputs, the two latter displaying banners which have earned the adoration of all Britons.\n\nTHE NAVAL REVIEW.\n\nThe end of the march past concluded the proceedings in Statue Square, and the spectators then wended their way to the Naval Yard. The impassable gates of this usually secluded quarter were thrown open, and a large crowd of spectators filled the compound to witness the evolutions of the first defence of the Empire. Those in charge of the parade were Commodore Lyon, Commander J. Nicholas, H. M. S. Flora, Commander Smith H.M.S. Monmouth, Commander Acton, H.M.S. Tamar, Commander Pyke, H. M. S. Monmouth, Lieut. Chilcott and Lieut. Dukes Hughes.\n\nA bugle call announced the arrival of H. E. the Governor at the Naval Yard, simultaneous with which the big Union Jack at the saluting base and the two White Ensigns were unfurled. A royal salute followed, and then his Excellency inspected the bluejackets and marines.\n\nPage 563",

That such conditions were taken advantage of by the fair sex might go without saying, judging by the innumerable autumn and winter \"creations\" that were in evidence, picked out, as it were, with a few clinging to conditions just passing away.\n\nIn striking contrast were seen the gay uniforms of the Army and Navy which added to the brilliant kaleidoscopic effect of the crowd assembled to do honour to King Edward VII in Statue Square.\n\nIt being a general holiday, all the business offices were closed and the town was in gala attire, flags being flown from many buildings. All the British war-vessels in harbour dressed ship for the occasion, the American, German and Portuguese gunboats also showing a gallant display of bunting. The merchant boats were not backward, Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co.'s, Butterfield and Swire's and the C.P.R. Co.'s boats being also gaily bedecked with flags as well as a number of the river steamers. It is probable that those merely showing flags at their mastheads had already celebrated elsewhere on the 9th.\n\nAt noon, the usual royal salute was fired by the men-of-war in port.\n\nThe principal feature of the day was the public functions following upon the parade and the unveiling of the statues of H.M. the Queen and H.R.H. the Princess of Wales.\n\nGeneral Broadwood, G.O.C., was at home at Headquarters House to military and civil visitors, while Commodore Lyon held open house on the Tamar to the Navy and civil visitors. These were followed in the evening by the ball in Government House, the brilliant function being largely attended.\n\nDuring the day the stream of official visitors at Government House, Headquarters House and the Naval Yard was large, all the Consular representatives of the other nations resident in Hongkong tendering their congratulations on the auspicious occasion.\n\nOutdoor amusements were many and varied, the principal being the final of the match between Singapore and Hongkong. Our soldiers and sailors had not been neglected, for in addition to the picnic under the auspices of the Seamen's Institute, of which a large number availed themselves, there was also a concert at the Sailors and Soldiers' Home in Arsenal Street, at which many patriotic songs were sung. Lastly there was the boxing in the newly erected stadium at the British View Hotel, which claimed its quota of enthusiasts. There were also numerous private picnics and parties in celebration of the day.\n\nOur American cousins had a double celebration, yesterday being Thanksgiving Day, when no doubt the standard turkey and cranberry sauce was in evidence at many a table.\n\nThe Celebrations\n\nThose who witnessed yesterday's festivities will long remember them as the most brilliant held in the Colony for some years. At quite an early hour crowds were wending their way towards Statue Square,",

His Excellency was then conducted to the dais in front of the Statue of H.M. the Queen by the Hon. Mr. E. A. Hewett, being accompanied by Commodore Lyon.\n\nAfter His Excellency had taken his stand on the dais, the Hon. Mr. Hewett said he was glad to ask His Excellency to accept for Hong Kong the Statue of H.M. Queen Alexandra, which was the outcome of the Coronation Fund. So many years had passed—nearly eight, when the committee was formed—that since then a large number had left the Colony, and of the original number only thirteen were still in the Colony. That was perhaps the reason why some of his colleagues had not attended on that occasion to receive His Excellency, owing, no doubt, to the superstitious feeling attaching to the number thirteen (laughter). The speaker then gave some particulars of the history of the Coronation Committee, and said that the appeal made was so generously responded to that the sum of $42,000 was in the hands of the Committee soon after the appeal was made. The programme carried out at that time was detailed, the Hon. Mr. Hewett stating as a further memorial of the occasion the Committee designed a Coronation medal, which was freely distributed. As His Excellency would understand, they had been able to do this only with the generous support of the residents—comprising many nationalities—of Hongkong. After these things of which he had spoken had been carried out, the Committee had still $15,000 left, and at first, it was thought to erect a memorial to His Majesty the King. As they had one already, however, it was decided to erect a Statue of Her Majesty the Queen. In conclusion, he expressed the hope that for many years to come the statue would remain, not only as a memorial of the gracious lady which it represented, not only as serving to mark a historical event, but as a perpetual reminder to them of the unanimity, good fellowship, and goodwill which existed always between the members of the various nationalities, who made up the community of Hongkong (applause). He asked His Excellency to accept, as a souvenir of this occasion, a replica of the Hongkong Coronation medal and to unveil the statue for the Colony of Hongkong (applause).\n\nHis Excellency replied as follows: Mr. Hewett, Ladies and Gentlemen: The chairman of the Coronation Committee has already recalled to your memory the circumstances connected with the origin of this beautiful statue of our Gracious Queen.

The troops presented arms, and the National Anthem was played. The British troops removed their head-gear, and all in the square gave three hearty cheers for H.M. the King.\n\nThe march past the Governor of the troops was a fine sight, and one seldom to be forgotten.\n\nThe rays of the sun glittered upon the steel bayonets of the troops and the mingling of the various uniforms, with here and there a naval officer in full dress, produced an extremely pretty picture. The Royal Navy were the first to march past, and they were followed by the R.G.A., H.K.S.B., R.E., Buffs, Volunteers, 105th M.L.I., 13th Rajputs. Col. Prior commanded the parade in Statue Square.\n\nTHE NAVAL REVIEW.\n\nNot for many years has the naval Yard presented such a scene of activity and splendour as it did yesterday, when, after the unveiling ceremony of the statues had been performed, His Excellency reviewed the Naval Brigade, consisting of bluejackets and Royal Marines. To see between 400 and 500 of our jack tars on parade is a sight well worth seeing, and as the general public were admitted, it can be surmised that many took advantage of this golden opportunity. The entrance to the yard in Murray Road was nearly impassable for a considerable period, and the spaces which had been provided were quickly filled. Reserved accommodation was also provided in the large shed facing the Admiralty Dock for the members of the Executive and Legislative Councils and their friends, also for naval and military officers and friends. By kind permission of Lieut.-Colonel Bayard, D.S.O., and officers, the Buffs' band attended the review.\n\nAs this was the first occasion on which the public have been allowed access to the Naval Yard, a few particulars from \"Brassey's Naval Annual\" will be of interest.\n\nThe scheme for the extension of the Hongkong Dockyard has gradually grown, through successive Naval Works Acts, from a moderate proposal involving the expenditure of £340,000 to one in which it is estimated that £1,275,000 will be spent. The yard has been increased from 41 to acres and a tidal basin of 9 acres, having a depth of 30ft. at low water has been constructed, with a total length of wharfage of 2,900ft. The dry dock is 550ft. in length on blocks, 95ft. wide at the entrance, and 30ft. over the sill at low water. The tidal basin and wharf wall, the deepening of basin areas, approaches to wharf walls, the buildings for the engineering and constructive departments, etc., have progressed towards completion, as well as the incidental services including reclamation, drainage, water and fire services, railway and crane roads.\n\nThe estimate in the Act of 1905 for £1,500,000 has since been exceeded by £64,000, the engineering difficulties of the work having necessitated the extra expenditure. Among the chief personages present were H.E. the Governor, Com...\n\nPage 39\n\n...\n\n574",

His Excellency inspected the lines, and also the guns placed on the harbour wall. It is, we understand, four years ago since a naval review took place at Hongkong, and it is to be regretted that they are not more frequent. Besides giving the general public an idea of the efficiency of our Navy, such exhibitions as that given yesterday help to cement the feelings between the civilian and the sailor more closely together. This was clearly evidenced yesterday, as on several occasions the patriotism of those present found expression in repeated applause. The sight was indeed a fine one, and the tars showed themselves to be exceptionally efficient in their duties. Their marching was excellent, and the smartness with which the firing parties acquitted themselves was loudly applauded. Commander Pike gave the necessary words of command. A Royal Salute was fired, after which the yard resounded with three hearty cheers from the men. The march past in extended column was a splendid sight, the men then forming into two compact squares. During the review, the guns from which the Salute had been fired headed the march, and lent additional splendour to the whole scene.\n\nParties were afterwards entertained on board the warship in the dry dock.\n\n575",

Cadmus\n### Hongkong, 29th October, 1909\n\nSir,\n\nIn accordance with your orders of 26th instant, I proceeded at 7.45 a.m. on the 27th, with the \"Janus\" and \"Handy\" to search for junks supposed to be in distress to the South-Westward of Hongkong. They were reported to have been seen dismasted and anchored on the 22nd instant in a position 50 miles S 200 W of Gap Rock.\n\nI considered that any drift in the interval must have been in a Westerly to Nor'Westerly direction and searched accordingly. The attached chart shows the tracks of the three vessels. It had been my intention to spread on the line A B at daylight on 28th and then steer for Gap Rock, but owing to the breakdown of \"Janus\" from loss of water, I had to return to her and send the \"Handy\" on by herself as shown on the track chart.\n\nNothing has been seen of any of the junks searched for. It is presumed that all had managed to make the land or been lost in the gale of the 25th. If there had been any number of them, they must have been scattered before we reached the scene, and therefore some...\n\nCommodore H. Lyon, R.N.\nHONGKONG.",

Sir,\n\nWE have the honour to inform you that the Viceroy of Szechuan telegraphs as follows:-\n\n\"In July and August of 1909 the British and German gunboats proceeded into the interior to Chiating, and representations were made that they should be ordered to return to Chungking. This year the German consul personally told me that the German gunboat would not proceed (up-river). But, on the other hand, the British gunboat 'Woodcock' is now again anchored at Chiating. I have remonstrated with His Majesty's consul-general, but he replies that in August last year instructions were received from His Majesty's Minister that he should act in accordance with article 52 of the Tien-tsin treaty, which states that British ships of war coming for no hostile purpose shall be at liberty to visit all ports within the dominions of the Emperor of China. I argued the matter frequently with him, but the consul states that he has no power to decide in this case. The British Minister should therefore be requested to instruct the gunboat to return to Chungking.\"\n\nWe have the honour to observe that although article 52 of the Tien-tsin treaty permits British ships of war to visit all ports in China, yet places on the inland waterways are not treaty ports, and if foreign gunboats suddenly proceed thither their visit is sure to cause alarm and suspicion among the inhabitants, and it is to be feared lest a feeling of hostility should spring up.\n\nWe have the honour to request that you will therefore instruct the gunboat to return immediately to Chungking.\n\nAwaiting the favour of a reply, we avail, &c.\n\nYour Highness,\n\nEnclosure 2 in No. 1.\n\n[Ministers of the Wai-wu Pu.]\n\nMr. Max Müller to Wai-wu Pu.\n\nJuly 25, 1910.\n\nI HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Highness's letter of the 22nd instant on the subject of His Majesty's ship \"Woodcock's\" visit to Chiating on the Upper Yang-tsze, and requesting that instructions should be sent for her immediate return to Chungking.\n\nI have the honour to observe that in August last year, when the question of the rights of His Majesty's ships to navigate inland waters in China was raised, His Majesty's Minister instructed the acting British consul-general at Chengtu that His Majesty's Government held that, in accordance with article 52 of the treaty of Tien-tsin, British warships have the right to visit all Chinese ports, whether open by treaty to foreign trade or not.\n\nHis Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs having subsequently approved the instructions then issued by Sir John Jordan, I regret that I am unable to agree to the request made by your Highness's board and the Viceroy of Szechuan, that His Majesty's ship \"Woodcock\" be ordered to return immediately to Chungking.\n\nI avail, &c.\n\nW. G. MAX MÜLLER.\n\nEnclosure 4 in No. 1.\n\nLieutenant Leith to Rear-Admiral Lyon.\n\nH.M.S.\"Moorhen\" at Liu Kong Hui, June 27, 1910. Sir,\n\nI HAVE the honour to report that the Governor of Kwangsi has sent to the British consul-general at Canton a two-fold complaint: first, that a British gunboat visited an unopened port, to wit Liau Chau Fu, without permission, and, second, made a long stay there, although asked by the officials to go away.\n\nIn my report of the cruise of His Majesty's ship \"Moorhen,\" written before I heard of this, I have, I think, explained what actually happened.\n\nI now have before me a communication from the consul at Wuchow, in which it is stated that he has received an official protest from the Chinese authorities against His Majesty's ship \"Moorhen\" visiting such ports as Nanning or Pose; his reply, to which I quote verbatim :-\n\nArticle 52 of the Tien-tsin treaty reads—\n\n\"British ships of war, coming for no hostile purpose or being engaged in the pursuit of pirates, shall be at liberty to visit all ports within the dominions of the Emperor of China, and shall receive every facility for the purchase of provisions, procuring water, and, if occasion requires, for the purpose of repairs. The commanders of such vessels shall hold intercourse with the Chinese authorities on terms of equality and courtesy.\"\n\nIn correspondence on the subject of the navigation of the Poyang Lake by British gunboats, in which the circumstances are similar, His Majesty's Government held that the clause quoted meant that British men-of-war were at liberty to visit any port whatever.\n\nIn a memorandum dated the 29th May, 1908, Vice-Admiral Sir H. Lambton stated, with reference to a gunboat which had been stopped by the Chinese military authorities when entering the Poyang Lake: \"The movements of gunboats are not to be affected by the verbal protests of the local Chinese authorities.\"\n\nUnder these circumstances, I submit that I may be given renewed authority to proceed with the remainder of my cruise, observing that the French gunboat \"Vigilante\" is proceeding to Nanning, and thence to Lung Chau, without, as far as I can ascertain, any objection being raised.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nGEORGE LEITH, Lieutenant and Commander,\n\nSenior Naval Officer, West River.\n\nSUBMITTED. On receipt of this letter I telegraphed to the \"Moorhen\" to proceed on the cruise to Nanning and Pose, as I see no reason for detaining her, the article in the Tien-tsin treaty being so clear.\n\nI would submit that the attention of His Majesty's Minister at Peking be called to this incident.\n\nAs regards the \"Moorhen's\" visit to Liau Chau Fu, this is fully dealt with in the letter of proceedings from that ship dated the 15th June (Commodore's minute No. 46 of the 3rd July, 1910).\n\nH. LYON, Rear-Admiral.\n\nEnclosure 3 in No. 1.\n\nSir,\n\nVice-Admiral Sir A. Winsloe to Mr. Max Müller.\n\nJuly 16, 1910.\n\nI HAVE the honour to forward, for your information, the accompanying copy of correspondence concerning a protest made by the local Chinese authorities against the visit of His Majesty's ship \"Moorhen\" to Nanning and Pose, observing that I concur in the action taken by the commanding officer of the \"Moorhen\" and the Rear-Admiral in Charge, Hong Kong.\n\nI have, &c.\n\nL.

Troops live in Wellington Barracks.\n\nSeveral civil posts also appear to be held by Naval Officers.\n\nThe Navy are in charge of both the Naval Dockyard and Taikoo. Various dockyards are named as follows:-\n\nTAIKOO DOCK. NAVAL DOCKYARD. KO LOON DOCK.\n\nNAVAL DOCKYARD\n\nNo. 1 Naval working station. No. 2. No. 3.\n\nThe organisation of the Dockyard appears to be as follows:\n\nJapanese Naval Officer as Commodore lives in Happy Valley. About 20 Naval Officers, Engineers, technical and administrative staffs.\n\n1.\n\n2.\n\n3.\n\nAbout 100 Naval Ratings.\n\nWellington Barracks.\n\n40.\n\nGuard duties in Navy Area.\n\nAbout 200 uniformed technicians, graded 1st and 2nd class.\n\n5. About 1000 Chinese workers.\n\nThe Japanese technicians and ships' crews have done most, if not all, repair work to Naval vessels up to date.\n\nThe Chinese have been employed almost entirely in repairing the sabotage carried out by the British Navy.\n\nThe Dry Dock has been working for some time. H.M.S. MOTH had been sunk to prevent the dock being used, but this appears to have been raised without great difficulty.\n\nThe Naval pumping station has been repaired.\n\nThe pre-war numbers of cranes in the dockyard appear to be as follows:-\n\n100 tons.. 1.\n\n40.\n\n50 tons.. 8.\n\n10 tons.. several.\n\nNow in use.\n\n40.\n\n50 tons.. several, including mobile type rails undamaged.\n\n10 tons.. at least 4.\n\nThree Naval launches have been raised and put into use.\n\nStar Ferry sunk at entrance to basin has not yet been raised despite several attempts; further efforts being made.\n\nThree oil lighters, each of about 100 tons, started by British, have been completed and launched.\n\nThree or four naval vessels appear to have used the dry dock for repairs during March and April. They were:-\n\n1 Cruiser.\n\n2 Destroyers, 200 feet long, 2 funnels.\n\n1 Escort vessel or 3rd class cruiser.\n\nOne was hit forward, one damaged in engine room by shell fire. External hole 8 feet by 2 feet on waterline, and third minor repairs to screw. The opportunity was taken to clean the ships' bottom and generally overhaul them whilst the \"battle scars\" were being repaired. There was a ceremonial funeral for 4 members of the crew of ship damaged amid-ships. The ship filled 3/4 of the dock and was in for three weeks; the morale of the crew appeared poor. Special watch kept on them, and it is rumoured that 3 or 4 deserted. The police at the gate made all workers remove their hats, and the explanation given was that they were looking for Japanese sailors whose heads are shaven.\n\nABERDEEN. Dockyard has been stripped. All scrap iron has been exported, but steel supplies are stored in the Naval Dockyard.\n\nPage 19\n\nPage 19\n\nPage 19",
