The exact boundaries shall be hereafter fixed when proper surveys have been made by officials appointed by the two Governments. The term of this lease shall be 99 years.\n\nIt is at the same time agreed that within the City of Kowloon the Chinese officials now stationed there shall continue to exercise jurisdiction except so far as may be inconsistent with the military requirements for the defence of Hong Kong. Within the remainder of the newly leased territory Great Britain shall have sole jurisdiction. Chinese officials and people shall be allowed as heretofore to use the road from Kowloon to Hsinan.\n\nIt is further agreed that the existing landing place near Kowloon City shall be reserved for the convenience of Chinese men-of-war, merchant and passenger vessels, which may come and go and lie there at their pleasure; and for the convenience of movement of the officials and people within the city.\n\nWhen hereafter China constructs a railway to the boundary of the Kowloon territory under British control, arrangements shall be discussed.\n\nIt is further understood that there will be no expropriation or expulsion of the inhabitants of the district included within the extension, and that if land is required for public offices, fortifications, or the like official purposes, it shall be bought at a fair price. If cases of extradition of criminals occur, they shall be dealt with in accordance with the existing treaties between Great Britain and China and the Hong Kong Regulations.\n\nThe area leased to Great Britain, as shown on the annexed map, includes the waters of Mirs Bay and Deep Bay, but it is agreed that Chinese vessels of war, whether neutral or otherwise, shall retain the right to use those waters.\n\nThis Convention shall come into force on the 1st day of July, 1898, being the 13th day of the 5th moon of the 24th year of Kuang-Hsu. It shall be ratified by the Sovereigns of the two countries, and the ratifications shall be exchanged in London as soon as possible.\n\nIn witness whereof the undersigned, duly authorised thereto by their respective Governments, have signed the present agreement.\n\nDone at Peking in quadruplicate (4 copies in English and 4 in Chinese) the 9th day of June in the year of our Lord, 1898, being the 21st day of the 4th moon of the 24th year of Kuang-Hsu.\n\n**(Sd.)

Head of bay too shallow for purposes of navigation. If road be brought down to either side of bay on parallel 114° 14' 30\" E. ships drawing 21 feet of water could lie alongside a short pier. |\n| Crooked Harbour | Good protected anchorages in 6 to 7 fms. Useful only for fishing requirements. |\n| Double Haven | ... |\n| Anchorage under Pingchau Island | Good anchorage in 7 fms., but much taken up with fishing stakes and unimportant for line of communication. |\n| Plover Cove | Very good anchorage in all weathers in 4-5 fms., but out of trade route. |\n| Tolo Harbour | Like Starling Inlet, too shallow at head of bay for purposes of navigation, although there is a boat channel, which if marked out, will take small junks up to town. Anchorage on 4 fms. line. Suitable for shipping; whichever side of bay road is made it should be brought out on parallel 114° 11' 45\" E., in order to allow of vessels lying alongside a pier in 21 feet. |\n| Tide Cove | Communication by small junks or light launches at high water to top of bay. Sampans at low. Anchorage in 3 fms. Protected in all winds. Distance from head of bay 3 miles. Important as being the closest by land to Kowloon. |\n| Long Harbour | Good anchorage in 7 to 8 fms. More suitable for a military than a mercantile port. |\n| Port Shelter | Good anchorage for any size of ships. Chiefly useful as being deep close to shore, and divided from Tseung Kwan O by a small neck of land 1/4 mile wide. |\n| Rocky Harbour | Unimportant, being out of line of communication. |\n\n### Appendix No. 2 (Geological Report)\n\nThe geological formation of this territory is simple, granitic trappean and metamorphic rocks largely predominating, the only stratified rocks which are found belonging to the hypozoic period. There are in places evidences of volcanic action, but of a very remote period, while the granitic and trappean rocks are very prominent everywhere. The hills facing Hong Kong are chiefly of granite, of which many varieties occur, from a fine close-grained felspathic white rock and a pink coloured granite like that of Aberdeen, to a very coarse porphyritic granite. Kaolin probably exists, but I did not come on any defined beds of it, though told that it was to be found near the west point of Castle Peak Bay. Syenite is common and of very good quality, a dark, highly crystalline variety, in many cases the large distinct crystals of hornblende being well shown.\n\nThe bold and rocky east coast shows some very characteristic cliffs of columnar basalt, and blocks of this, an almost black and highly crystalline rock, are largely used for bridging streams inland.\n\nFurther inland other trap rocks appear, while some of the islands in Mirs Bay show very distinctly the terraced and step-like appearance of these formations. The more compact and crystalline varieties seem to predominate, though trap tuffs and claystone porphyries are not absent. Specimens of basalts, greenstones, and felspar porphyries were numerous.\n\nIt is extremely difficult in such a country as I have described, where the varieties of trap rocks are so numerous and so mixed up with rocks of the granitic system, to say what other rocks may not exist. One thing is certain, there is everywhere an abundance of the best building material, and for road macadamizing nothing could surpass the hard basalts.\n\nIn one or two places I came on distinctly stratified rocks, of a hard, crystalline, close-grained variety, dark grey or bluish grey in colour, which I would call syenitic gneiss.\n\nPure quartz rock is uncommon, though in places distinct out-crops of quartzite were to be seen. I saw no mica schists, and except in the pure granites mica is not to be seen.\n\nTalc also is absent, but hornblende appears everywhere, and I should say chlorite schists, hornblende schists, and actynolite schists are fairly common.\n\nI saw no limestone, all lime used in buildings being obtained from the burning of coral or oyster shells.\n\nThe lower hills between the mountain ranges are of laterite, rounded or conical in shape, and well covered with vegetation, combining to form the extremely picturesque scenery usually associated with such formations. The richly cultivated valleys lying between, formed by the denudation of the surrounding mountains, seem in most cases to have a few feet of good soil overlying laterite; some excavations, as in wells, showed this distinctly. The laterite is what would be called a coarse cabook in Ceylon, fit for cutting out in blocks for building purposes. This is extremely like the disintegrated granite of Hong Kong, but contains more silicate of alumina and oxide of iron, the latter showing in large nodules.\n\nSome excellent pottery clay exists on the slopes of Tai Mo Shan, of which we saw specimens in the village of Un Long, of a light brown colour and extremely fine texture. Brick clay is found in all the valleys, and is used in the form of large sun-dried bricks in many of the village houses and walls.\n\nPossibly beds of primary limestone will be found, but the lime obtained by the burning of shells is sufficient for local needs.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-289 - Individuals - 1898.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 374006, "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": "CO129-295 - Public Offices - 1899", "page_number": 79, "title": "CO129-295 - Public Offices - 1899", "content_text": "Schedule\n\n77\n\nJahina Letter Ala 326/1912\n\nof Conclosures in Jakinar\n\nof the 30th April 1899\n\nDate\n\ndoure\n\nFrom\n\n2\n\nSumbe\n\n1899\n\nSubject.\n\nReporting attack of thiness\n\nan\n\n13\n\n10 April Commodore\n\n21\n\nWhiting\n\n18\n\nbint\n\nColonial Police in Golo Harbous, and action laken thereon.\n\nCommodore Proceedings Tole Harbour\n\nCommodore le arb.\n\nFaure.\n\n#www.\n\nPeacock\n\nbire mustances attending taking\n\nover\n\nof new Zerritory at Kowloon, and acton of threw Commodore Proceedings\n\n-\n\nCommodore Humber\n\nHumber.\n\n19\n\nLiit hol.\n\n20\n\nJolo Harbour..\n\nFurther report on affairs at\n\nJolo Harbour.\n\ndo\n\nProacedings Tols Harbour Order «Cemios Naval Offrai at Tolo Harbour\n\nCommodore Proceedings +- State faffairs\n\nat Tolo Starbour.\n\nCommanding Humber.

Before Major C. Willson at the Central Magistracy yesterday, a Chinese timber merchant was charged with being in possession of three forged ten-dollar bank notes.\n\nEvidence was given of defendant's arrests with the notes in his possession when about to board the 3.8, \"Kinshan\" for Macao.\n\nMr. M. K. Lo, who appeared for the defence, said that the notes were given to the defendant by a friend in Canton. On his arrival in Hongkong defendant found that the notes were forged and decided to take them back to Canton. Mr. Lo submitted that there had been no intention of uttering the notes in Hongkong.\n\nHis Worship held there was a grave doubt in the case and discharged the defendant.\n\nCALIFORNIA COLLEGIANS.\n\nJuly 15 Brick Morse's California Collegiana, formerly the University of California Glee Club, boasts an exceedingly talented soloist in Mr. Clyde Diddle, a senior at the University and President of the organisation. He has been with the club for four years, and has made a trip to the Orient, to Alaska, through Canada, and to Europe, on each of which trips his work as bass soloist has been highly contributive to the success of the club.\n\n\"Ve Mas-\n\nDiddle, when interviewed said, \"In my opinion the programmes which we are presenting now are of the highest calibre possible. We have always presented numbers which have been good, but as we have gained experience, and guided by our friend and leader, C. R. Marae, we have reached a state now of which we can boast,\" ranging all of the way from Dvorak's \"Largo,\" from the New World Symphony, to soft shoe dancing by \"Sta\" and \"Monk\".\n\nDiddle's mellow voice can hardly be described. It is one thing that we cannot tell you all about. But one which you will still be talking about when you leave the theatre. His singing has been in popular demand around San Francisco this last year. You'll be thrilled if you hear him at the Theatre Royal on July 19 and 21.\n\nAt the Kowloon Magistracy on July 16, a Chinese was sentenced to two weeks' imprisonment for loitering about in the vicinity of the Observatory early on Wednesday morning and creating a disturbance.\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\n1\n\nTHIEF CAUGHT.\n\nJuly 16,\n\n\"That was a smart piece of work,\" remarked Major C. Willson at the Central Magistracy this morning when he was told that Mr. B. A. Hyder had caught a Chinese who was charged with the larceny of $20 from an old man at Des Voeux Road near the Wing On Company, yesterday forenoon.\n\nIt was stated by Inspector Spear that the defendant extracted the money from complainant's pocket and was seized by the owner. Defendant broke away by discarding the money and escaped in the direction of the Wing Lok Street wharf where he was caught.\n\nMr. Hyder's attention was drawn to the runaway by a whistle blown by the conductor of a passing tram car. He said that he ran down a side lane leading into Connaught Road anticipating that the man would come that way and got him just in time.\n\nDefendant was sent to prison with hard labour for three months.\n\nSTOLEN UMBRELLA?\n\nJuly 16.\n\nUnlawful possession of umbrella was the charge against a ricksha coolie before Mr. R. E. Lindsell at the Central Magistracy this morning.\n\nThe article was believed to have been stolen, although the owner was not found. Divisional Inspector Blackman said that defendant was seen in Tal Wong Street carrying the umbrella and was arrested on suspicion by a constable.\n\nDefendant said he paid 40 cents for the umbrella and intended making a present of it to his wife.\n\nHis Worship: I see you are a perfect husband. Three weeks hard labour.\n\nThis summer throughout Hongkong there will be ten Vacation Bible Schools conducted by local Chinese Christians, beginning July 19. More than 1,500 children are expected to attend. These Vacation Schools continue for one month. They are under the direction of Mr. Chang King-suen, of the Chinese YMCA.\n\nThe recent murder of an office boy at Connaught Road Central was again mentioned at the Central Magistracy this morning when the alleged assailant, another office boy who was caught and brought back from Macao, was brought before Mr. R. E. Lindsell. The case was fixed for hearing on Thursday next.\n\nMORE RED TAPE.\n\nFor the first time in three years as far as the \"China Mail\" is concerned the weather forecast for the first part of the week-end cannot be given owing to Government blunder, or red tape, or both.\n\nHitherto the \"China Mail\" has given the forecast on Saturdays, the same being obtained by telephone to cope with printing hours.\n\nBecause the No. 1 typhoon signal was hoisted, the Kowloon clerk-in-charge said that we must refer to the manager. The manager ultimately told us that the Government had supplied them with a list of people who may ring up the Observatory when the typhoon signal is up. The \"China Mail\" is not on that list.\n\nReaders who are in two minds as to picnics, recreation, excursions, sailings, cargo-working, business &c. will have to remain in the dark.\n\nThe reason for this withholding of vital information from the public must be made known.\n\nNo. 2998.—July 22, 1926.\n\nMOTOR ACCIDENTS.\n\nJuly 17.\n\nDivisional Inspector Peter Grant, of No. 7 Police Station, West Point, met with an accident while driving a motor cycle combination in Bonham Road shortly after noon yesterday.\n\nIn taking the turn near the Ying Wah College, the side car raised. The machine skidded and collided with a Hongkong Hotel motor bus which was just then coming round the corner.\n\nThe Inspector escaped with slight injury to his left knee, but he was able to get about this morning. Damage to the motor cycle was small, but the body of the motor bus had the paint work scraped off and the head lights were also damaged.\n\nStubbs Road Collision. Another accident occurred at Stubbs Road yesterday forenoon while Miss Stewart, of the Repulse Bay Hotel, was driving a motor car, but the occupants escaped injury.\n\nMiss Stewart's car collided with another car coming in the opposite direction and was slightly damaged.\n\nVOLUNTEER ORDERS.\n\nThe following is taken on the strength on July 12, 1926, and posted to the Reserve Company.\n\nNo. 1064 Pte.

Dr. and Mrs. Gill left for Singapore where they will establish their home. Mrs. Gill taught in the American School for one year and was a member of the church. Dr. Gill established a practice in Hongkong as a dentist.\n\nSCOUTS' WORK.\n\nNo. 6 Hongkong (Ellis Kadoorie School) Troop of Boy Scouts gathered at the School hall at Sookumpoo on Friday to welcome Sir Henry Gollan, the Chief Justice, who has shown a keen interest in the movement by presenting a challenge cup for inter-patrol competition annually.\n\nIn the awarding of the cup to the winning patrol, special attention will be paid to efficiency, attendance and conduct.\n\nOVERLAND CHINA MAIL\n\nCHINA PROVIDENT.\n\n241\n\nIn accordance with the Articles of Association the Very Rev. F. L. Robert, Messrs. H. P. White, T. G. Weall, Lee Koon-san and W. J. Hawker retire, and are eligible for re-election.\n\nA net deficit of just over two million dollars is the result of last year's working of the China Provident, Loan and Mortgage Co., Ltd., as shown by the books of the Company.\n\nSome months ago, an extraordinary meeting was convened at which a committee of six shareholders was appointed to investigate, with technical assistance, the financial position of the company, following some sensational disclosures.\n\nThe annual general meeting has been fixed for July 22, date, the report for the year ended December 31, 1925, will be presented, together with the statement of accounts.\n\nActual Profit.\n\nThe actual result of the year's working shows a profit of $46,125.57, plus $200,000 transferred back from Reserve, giving a credit balance of $246,125.57.\n\nThe party, which consisted of the following:- Hon. Mr. A. E. Wood (Director of Education), Mr. F. I. de Rome (Headmaster), the Rev. G. T. Waldegrave (Scout Commissioner), Scoutmaster T. K. S. Leung, Assistant Scoutmaster Yu, and masters of the School, adjourned with Sir Henry to the hall where the Scouts gave a display in signalling and ambulance work.\n\nMr. de Rome thanked Sir Henry Gollan for his attendance and interest in the Troop and spoke to the Scouts on the value of maintaining the efficiency of the Troop.\n\nSir Henry Gollan then addressed the gathering and presented the challenge cup. This was followed by a short speech by the Scoutmaster. The Scout Commissioner in a speech traced the history of the Troop, which was a good one, and commented on the Scout movement which was not only local but world-wide.\n\nThe various speeches were interpreted by Mr. K. S. Lam, who has just retired from the Scoutmastership of the Troop after several years' good service.\n\nCheers were then called for and the gathering dispersed after the singing of the British and Chinese national anthems.\n\nIt is notified in the Government Gazette with reference to the Vicar Apostolic Incorporation Ordinance, 1885, Ordinance No. 4 of 1885, and to Government Notification No. 118 of 1924, that the Right Reverend Henry Paschal Valtorta, Bishop of Lera, is now Vicar Apostolic of The Roman Catholic Church in this Colony.\n\nAuditors.\n\nThe accounts have been audited by Messrs. Linstead and Davis and Messrs. Percy Smith, Seth and Fleming who are eligible for re-election.\n\nNotice has been lodged with the Company, by certain shareholders, that it is their intention to propose the election of Messrs. Lowe, Pingham and Matthews as auditors for the current year.\n\nAUDITORS' REPORT.\n\nThe report states:-\n\nWe beg to report to the shareholders that we have audited the foregoing balance sheet with the books, documents and vouchers of the Company.\n\nA snapshot taken at the recent motor-cycle and pony gymkhana, promoted by the Mounted Section and Armoured Car Companies of the Volunteer Defence Corps. Above are seen the Mounted Infantry taking up their positions for the tent-pegging.\n\nALLEGED ASSAULT.\n\nJuly 17. Complaints of the behaviour of certain people in the Happy Valley district which had led to disagreeable circumstances were referred to at the Central Magistracy yesterday when A. H. Hartman, of 11 Tai Wong Street, Wanchai, and H. M. Ismail, of 13 Sharp Street, were charged with assaulting two Chinese ladies.\n\nThe incidents deposed to took place on July 7 as the two Chinese ladies were walking back from the path leading to the Monument having accompanied their mother part of the way home after her visit to them at their home in Leighton Hill.\n\nThree road cyclists were alleged to have been involved in the assault which consisted of catching hold of the ladies as they passed and squeezing them.\n\nIn response to the girls' screams, it was stated, the brother of one of the ladies appeared on the scene and knocked one of the cyclists from his machine. A Chinese constable also made an appearance.\n\nThe shop from which the cycles were hired was communicated with and it was stated that the three men who had taken the cycles had erased their names. A clerk of the cycle shop was called to give evidence and he stated that it was the second defendant who had erased the names.\n\nAfter making the following adjustments, which are considered necessary:\n\nWrite off Property ... $895,539.02\n\nWrite off Investment Account ... 144,951.54\n\nTransfer to Reserve for Bad and Doubtful Loans ... 1,123,680.48\n\nTransfer to Reserve for Bad and Doubtful Debts ... 26,106.98\n\nTransfer to General Reserve ... 161,736.83\n\n$2,351,015.66 The result a debit balance of $2,107,790.09, plus $18,925.50 brought forward from last year, has leaving a nett deficit of $2,086,864.50.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor has appointed provisionally and subject to His Majesty's pleasure, the Hon. Mr. Dallas Gerald Mercer Bernard to be an Unofficial Member of the Executive Council during the absence from the Colony of the Hon. Sir Edward Pollock, K.C., with effect from July 10.\n\nConsulting Committee.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor in Council has directed that the name of Mr. Frederick Lanchester Foster-Turner be added to the List of authorised architects.\n\nWe have not seen satisfactory vouchers in respect of the sum of $112,946, under the heading of work expenses made during the strike.\n\nIt appears to us that owing to the late allotment of certain shares, the dividend for the year 1924 was incorrectly paid, involving a small loss to the Company.\n\nUnder section 90 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903, His Excellency the Governor in Council has ordered that the Chinese Cemetery, Mesara, J. H. Taggart and T. de Christian Meester retired from Kowloon Tong, known as New Kowloon Inland Lot No. 18, shall be closed from and after August 1, 1926.\n\nMr. W. J. Hawker was invited to join the Committee in place of Mr. J. H. Taggart.\n\nSubject to the above remarks, in our opinion, the foregoing balance sheet is properly drawn up as to exhibit a true and correct view of the state of the Company's affairs.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-493 - Governor Sir Clementi - 1926 [6-8].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 515166, "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": "CO129-510-2 Appointment of teaching staff for Hong Kong 9-2-1928 - 30-10-1928", "page_number": 26, "title": "CO129-510-2 Appointment of teaching staff for Hong Kong 9-2-1928 - 30-10-1928", "content_text": "Memorandum on Conditions of Employment for\n\nLadies in Hongkong\n\n26\n\nDEL\n\n1.

They should all be of washable material, such as voile, pingham, etc. Chinese tailors are very clever at copying a model, so many people bring out dress lengths to be made up here. Of silk materials, crepe-de-chine wear well: taffeta and glace silks are useless, as they split almost at once.\n\nFor the cold months, one costume is enough. Teachers often wear a woollen skirt and a woollen jersey while in school. Silk jumpers are most useful.\n\nA thick coat is needed, also a light wrap. A good mackintosh is essential: it should be light-weight. (Alvery, of Conduit Street, makes one specially for the tropics).
