        "content_text": "THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31st JULY, 1880.\n\n530\n\n$78\n\ntrees when in the nurseries were not thinned as they should have been; and when they were planted they were pulled out of the ground, thus greatly injuring their roots, instead of being carefully lifted; the roots were not properly protected from sun and weather, consequently, before reaching their distant destinations the plants had frequently greatly suffered from lack of moisture in their tissues, which, after planting, the lacerated roots were unable to repair. The plants, from overcrowding in the nurseries, were also weakened in the parts proceeding from the plumule, so that both radicle and plumule being so much damaged, the vitality of the plant was reduced to its lowest ebb. When planting, the holes also were not filled with soil, but were receptacles for a superabundance of water during every shower, which kept the roots in a miniature swamp, at a time when the plants, with their damaged organs, were not in condition to assimilate so much moisture. The trees were also planted too deep; in many cases I found the small stems were covered with soil to a depth of six inches.\n\n14. Had experience and intelligence, such as could only have been obtained by careful observation and study of the science of plant life, and a knowledge of expedients for the greatest economy of labour, been continually brought to bear on the direction of the work, we should not now have to record the sad result of the year's work.\n\n15. As bearing upon the foregoing remarks, it might be well to call to mind a few physiological facts upon which vegetable life depends.\n\n16. In many seeds the vital principle is so strong that, to scatter them upon the soil, and to cover them slightly with earth, is sufficient to insure their rapid germination; but in others, the powers of growth will only manifest themselves under more favourable conditions; it is therefore necessary to consider well upon what the circumstances most suitable to germination depend. In dealing with many varieties of seeds, the greatest care in applying the agencies of moisture, shade, soil, covering, &c., is essential. Different kinds of seeds require different kinds of treatment to meet their varied demands; and not only this during the process of germination, but between the time of collecting the seeds and committing them to their seed-beds, boxes, pots, or whatever may be the situation demanded. The nature of the seed, whether oily, resinous, hard, soft, having a thick or thin testa, &c.; the known duration of retaining vitality under ordinary circumstances and under altered and varying conditions, must all be taken into account, weighed and considered from manifold views; all this requiring the time and skill of an expert to deal successfully with.\n\n17. The extreme points of roots are exceedingly delicate, and are injured by trifling causes; moreover, since all newly-formed vegetable matter is extremely hygrometrical, they have the power of absorbing, with rapidity, any fluid or gaseous matter that may be presented to them. In roots of ordinary exogens, the tip or spargelet consists of very loose, tender cellular tissue, resting upon a blunt cone of woody matter, composed principally of woody tubes, and connected with the albumen of the stem. It is the opinion of most vegetable physiologists that the absorbing or feeding powers are conducted principally at the points, and that the general surface of the root possesses little or no feeding power. It is almost entirely through their action that the enormous waste of fluid, which takes place in plants by perspiration, is made good; hence their importance to plants, and the danger of destroying them becomes manifest.\n\n18. The functions of respiration, perspiration, and digestion, which are the particular offices of leaves, are absolutely necessary to the health of a tree, its healthfulness being in proportion to the degree in which these functions are performed, hence the importance of preserving those in a healthy condition is seen.\n\n19. An excellent authority on forest management says:- \"How necessary it is that foresters should become thoroughly acquainted with the laws that govern the healthy development of trees before they have the management of rearing them.”\n\nIII.—DEDUCTIONS ARRIVED AT FROM EXPERIENCE IN DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT.\n\n20.—The consideration of the foregoing, and much more which, if recapitulated, would render this report too prolix, confirms me in the belief that it is most important that the Botanical and Forest management should be in charge of one and the same person, and that the Superintendent of the Gardens; as botanical, arboricultural and horticultural works are all so intimately connected, that in a small Colony like ours the three branches of one profession cannot be separate without detriment to one and all. The Superintendent has so many things to deal with in the three branches, that he should be as unfettered as possible by official routine and circumlocution, such as existed when the gardens were a sub-department of the Survey Department, when delays occurred in dealing with subjects requiring prompt attention, which were fatal to the business in hand. As one instance, I may mention the delay in dealing with the plants of Pithecolobium Saman last year, which ended in disastrous results. This plant was introduced, through Kew Gardens, from South America, and was successfully treated in our nursery, 1300 plants being reared, but the Survey Department could not be induced to move in the matter of transferring them to the forest establishment until after more than three months after I had reported them as requiring prompt attention. The importance of these things seems to be unappreciated by the officials of the Survey Department, which is, perhaps, not much to be wondered at, seeing that the knowledge of such things does not form part of their professional training. As one more instance of that department's inability to cope with this department's affairs, I may mention that during my absence in England one hundred and eighty species of plants were lost to the gardens, as I reported and furnished the names of to the Acting Surveyor General on the 28th August, 1878. Some of these plants, which had been introduced from England and Germany, and of which we had only single plants of many species, I found had been removed in pots to the Cemetery, and although I several times asked for their return, so that we could propagate them and thus preserve the species, I offering to let them have, after propagation, plants in return, my applications were never replied to, nor have we to this day received the plants.\n\n21. Mr. MARIES, a traveller from the Messrs. VEITCHS' Royal Exotic Nursery, London, brought for presentation to the gardens a valuable collection of plants, which, on a second visit to the Colony, he found in a dying or already dead condition, although, I heard plants of the same kinds presented to private individuals here were flourishing. Mr. Veitch, when I saw him in London, reported this to me. Foreseeing, before I went home, that valuable consignments of plants could not be successfully well cared for, I requested my correspondents not to furnish the plants, &c., of my lists of desiderata until my return.\n\n22. Simultaneously with its own investigations, this department, by correspondence, can assist the forest work, by introducing rare and valuable trees; and also in rearing such tender kinds as require more careful treatment than they could receive in the tree nurseries; and also in applying such information and experience as by correspondence, &c., are being continually supplied. The different operations, also, could be brought into a better system and state of organisation, by the staffs, &c., being able to reciprocate, if the whole of the two establishments were under one practical and professional direction.\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nSir,\n\nThe Honourable THE COLONIAL SECRETARY,\n\nNo. 182.\n\nYour most obedient Servant,\n\nCHARLES FORD, Superintendent Botanical Gardens.\n\nGOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.\n\nMr. C.

        "content_text": "578\n\nTHE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 31ST JULY, 1880.\n\ntrees when in the nurseries were not thinned as they should have been; and when they were planted they were pulled out of the ground, thus greatly injuring their roots, instead of being carefully lifted; the roots were not properly protected from sun and weather, consequently, before reaching their distant destinations the plants had frequently greatly suffered from lack of moisture in their tissues, which, after planting, the lacerated roots were unable to repair. The plants, from overcrowding in the nurseries, were also weakened in the parts proceeding from the plumule, so that both radicle and plumule being so much damaged, the vitality of the plant was reduced to its lowest ebb. also were not filled with soil, but were receptacles for a superabundance of water during every shower, When planting, the holes which kept the roots in a miniature swamp, at a time when the plants, with their damaged organs, were not in condition to assimilate so much moisture. The trees were also planted too deep; in many cases I found the small stems were covered with soil to a depth of six inches.\n\n14. Had experience and intelligence, such as could only have been obtained by careful observation and study of the science of plant life, and a knowledge of expedients for the greatest economy of labour, been continually brought to bear on the direction of the work, we should not now have to record the sad result of the year's work.\n\n15. As bearing upon the foregoing remarks, it might be well to call to mind a few physiological facts upon which vegetable life depends.\n\n16. In many seeds the vital principle is so strong that, to scatter them upon the soil, and to cover them slightly with earth, is sufficient to insure their rapid germination; but in others, the powers of growth will only manifest themselves under more favourable conditions; it is therefore necessary to consider well upon what the circumstances most suitable to germination depend. In dealing with many varieties of seeds, the greatest care in applying the agencies of moisture, shade, soil, covering, &c., is essential. Different kinds of seeds require different kinds of treatment to meet their varied demands; and not only this during the process of germination, but between the time of collecting the seeds and committing them to their seed-beds, boxes, pots, or whatever may be the situation demanded. The nature of the seed, whether oily, resinous, hard, soft, having a thick or thin testa, &c.; the known duration of retaining vitality under ordinary circumstances and under altered and varying conditions, must all be taken into account, weighed and considered from manifold views; all this requiring the time and skill of an expert to deal successfully with.\n\n17. The extreme points of roots are exceedingly delicate, and are injured by trifling causes; moreover, since all newly-formed vegetable matter is extremely hygrometrical, they have the power of absorbing, with rapidity, any fluid or gaseous matter that may be presented to them. In roots of ordinary exogens, the tip or spargelet consists of very loose, tender cellular tissue, resting upon a blunt cone of woody matter, composed principally of woody tubes, and connected with the albumen of the stem. It is the opinion of most vegetable physiologists that the absorbing or feeding powers are conducted principally at the points, and that the general surface of the root possesses little or no feeding power. It is almost entirely through their action that the enormous waste of fluid, which takes place in plants by perspiration, is made good; hence their importance to plants, and the danger of destroying them becomes manifest.\n\n18. The functions of respiration, perspiration, and digestion, which are the particular offices of leaves, are absolutely necessary to the health of a tree, its healthfulness being in proportion to the degree in which these functions are performed, hence the importance of preserving those in a healthy condition is seen.\n\n19. An excellent authority on forest management says:--\"How necessary it is that foresters should become thoroughly acquainted with the laws that govern the healthy development of trees before they have the management of rearing them.\"\n\nIII.--DEDUCTIONS ARRIVED AT FROM EXPERIENCE IN DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT.\n\n20.

M. DEANE**, Acting Colonial Secretary,\n\nColonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 11th March, 1882.\n\n## No. 16. SUPERINTENDENT, BOTANIC AND AFFORESTATION DEPARTMENT, TO ACTING COLONIAL SECRETARY.\n\nBOTANIC GARDEN, 18th April, 1881.\n\nSIR,\n\nI have the honour to submit my Report on the Progress and Condition of the Botanical and Afforestation Department for the year 1880.\n\n2. The removal from the gardens of plants and shrubs of which the individuals of some kinds were too numerous has been carried on for the benefit and better appearance of those remaining, as well as to make room for newer introductions. Considerable work has also been done in transplanting shrubs and trees which were too crowded or ill-placed.\n\n3. **Persea Nanmu. Oliv.** From the small tree of this valuable timber tree of Yun-nan, which Mr. Watters kindly sent from Ichang, we have procured about half a dozen young plants, by layering. The little tree has succeeded very well in our garden, and if a large stock of it could be obtained it might be a valuable addition to our plantations. I have tried to get seeds or plants from Yun-nan, and correspondents have kindly promised their assistance, but as yet nothing has come to hand.\n\n4. **Cytisus proliferous var. (\"Tagasaste\")**. The seedlings (about 50) which were planted on the hills about a year ago grew remarkably well until the hot weather and rains commenced, when, I regret to say, they all perished, proving the unsuitability of the climate for this fodder plant.\n\n5. **Rhagodia hastata (Australian \"Salt Bush\")**. The same may be said of this fodder plant as of the above \"Tagasaste,\" it having grown vigorously until the hot weather and rains set in, when it perished.\n\n6. **Pithecolobium Saman (The \"Rain Tree\")**. Small trees which were carefully planted in prepared ground in 1879 continue to thrive, many of them are six to seven feet high. But those which were planted in unprepared ground, although nursed by the trees of a young plantation in which they were planted, are only about two feet high.\n\n7. **Manihot Glaziovii (Ceara Scrap Rubber)**. In good soil a small plant, which I brought from Kew Gardens in 1878, and which was then only about three inches high, has grown to a tree about 15 feet high and is now seeding freely. It seeded last year also and from the seeds which were produced we raised several small plants which were planted on the hills, at about 400 feet altitude, last autumn, but the cold of the past few months killed them down to the ground—the lowest temperature recorded at the gardens, alt. 300 feet, was 46°—but all are now making new shoots from the surface of the ground. The old plants were not affected by the cold.\n\n8. **Liberian Coffee**. A few plants of this, which have been in the gardens for four years, do not thrive at all well, although the Arabian coffee grows luxuriantly and fruits abundantly.\n\n9. **Fai-cha wood**. The wood used at Ningpo for carving is called by this name. The tree from which the wood is obtained has not yet been identified, but as I have succeeded in obtaining a small plant of what is reputed to be the true one, there is some hope that when it flowers the doubt may be set at rest; judging from the appearance of the plant without flowers or fruit, it is a species of Evonymus.\n\n10. **Macadamia ternifolia (the \"Queensland Nut\")**. In my last report I mentioned that this had flowered for the first time here. Now I am able to state that the flowers were succeeded by a very fair crop of nuts which tasted quite equal in flavour to those produced in Queensland.\n\nPage 7\n\n## Enclosures",

        "content_text": "364\n\n10. Evergreen shrubs and trees carried on their leaves solid coverings of ice of an inch in thickness. The great weight of this ice caused the branches of trees to assume a pendent form, the strain in many cases causing the limbs to snap off with a crash. All vegetation throughout the hill regions of the Colony was thus covered with ice, as were also most other objects. Telegraph and telephone wires from Victoria Gap upwards were covered with ice of an inch in thickness, and in addition, carried icicles as much as 3 inches in length as close as they could be packed side by side. This caused many of the telephone wires to break, and the iron post at Victoria Gap which supported them was snapped off a few inches above the ground.\n\n11. The windward sides of the walls of the look-out house at the Peak were from top to bottom covered with perfectly transparent ice of an inch in thickness.\n\n23. Accompanying this report are six photographic views which were taken on the 16th January owing to the ice at various places in the Peak district. It is somewhat difficult to represent ice in photographs, as bright light has much the same effect as ice which owes its white appearance merely to reflected light, but it will be understood that the white in these views is produced by ice.\n\nNo. 1 is a view of Cryptomeria japonica trees and Cycas revoluta near Mountain Lodge, with Mount Kellet in the distant background.\n\nNo. 2 is the look-out house at the signal-station, Victoria Peak. It shows icicles on the house, and at the base of the house grass vegetation covered with ice. It was here where the measurements were taken of grass bents covered with 5 inches in circumference of ice.\n\nNo. 3 represents a tree of Pinus sinensis encased with ice.\n\nNo. 4 exhibits an ornamental structure in Mr. BELIOS' garden at \"The Eyrie\" in which were various tender plants encased with thick ice.\n\n12. All the hills on the mainland and Lantao island were likewise white with ice, one of the hills (3,147 feet) of Lantao having what appeared to be snow for some few hundreds of feet down from its summit. As early as the evening of the 15th January the summit of Taimoshan (about 3,300 feet) on the mainland had assumed a whitish appearance, presumably from ice or snow.\n\n13. The effect of the extremely low temperature on vegetation has been disastrous.\n\nIn appendix\n\nA the names of plants, chiefly exotic, in the Botanic Gardens which have suffered more or less are given.\n\n14. Appendix B enumerates indigenous plants which were injured.\n\n15. The damages in the Gardens consist chiefly in the injury or destruction of leaves, but some plants are quite killed, these being natives of much warmer regions than Hongkong. Many of the decorative plants which were not killed will be months before they can regain their ornamental appearance.\n\n16. Every possible precaution was adopted to minimise the effect of the cold. The plant-houses, which are provided with screens merely to produce shade, were all matted in and the roofs covered with straw.\n\nOf ferns in the houses Polypodium heracleum and Adiantum tetradactylon suffered most, other kinds being but little affected.\n\n17. In the orchid-house, which was covered with mats and straw, all our best orchids have suffered very greatly, many being entirely killed while others were so much injured that, even if they survive, it may be some years before they regain their previous luxuriant state. A healthy plant, received from Calcutta several years ago, of Dendrobium aggregatum is apparently killed while plants of the same species growing by its side, and also others on trees where they had no shelter, which I collected 10 years ago on the Lo-fau mountains, about 60 miles from Canton, have escaped unharmed. This seems to show the capability of the plant in adapting itself to colder regions than it is generally found. In ordinary winters the temperature is too low for many kinds of orchids and other tender plants. These should be provided with glass-houses in which a little artificial heat could be maintained.\n\n18. Tender pot-plants generally were removed to sheltered places and covered with mats.\n\n19. The highest point of the Gardens is 320 feet above sea level, the lowest part 175 feet. Some plants of the same kinds which were damaged at the upper portions were uninjured at the lower parts of the Gardens.\n\n20. Of exotic trees planted on the hills Albizzia Lebbek, Aleurites triloba (candle-nut-tree) and Eugenia Jambos (the rose-apple-tree) had all their leaves killed at and upwards of 600 feet above sea level. Trees of the rose-apple at about 800 feet altitude have been entirely killed.\n\n21. At 600 feet altitude indigenous plants began to be affected, the injuries increasing with higher altitude until at about 900 feet when the extreme limit of low temperature which some plants could bear was reached, and death ensued. Most of these are tropical plants of which Hongkong, Formosa, the Luchu Islands in the Far East, and Sikkim and Himalaya in India are the northern limits of the geographical area from which they have been recorded. Of the plants killed or injured, Ficus Harlandi, Benth., Gordonia anomala, Spreng., and Garcinia oblongifolia, Champ. are known only from Hongkong. Although many of our indigenous plants have not been yet discovered elsewhere, it is to be expected that when China is better known they will be found over a larger area than the restricted one of this island. The fact of the above named plants having succumbed to the late frost indicates that when they are discovered elsewhere they will be found southward of Hongkong.\n\n22. Considerable damage to vegetation seems to have been caused about Canton where the alluvial lands are highly cultivated. The Reverend Dr. B. C. HENRY, in a letter dated 26th January, informs me that \"The destruction of vegetation about Canton has been very great. The banana plantations are ruined, and the bamboos have suffered. The Aleurites triloba look all shrivelled up, while Begonias, Euphorbias, Crotons and scores of others are simply destroyed.\" What Dr. HENRY reports indicates severer weather at Canton than here, as is proved by the reports of the steamers above referred to, Aleurites triloba leaves being shrivelled up at Canton, while they are here at 300 feet altitude uninjured, but at 600 feet here they are affected, and completely destroyed a little higher up the hill.\n\nNo. 5 shows ice-covered bamboos and wire netting near Mount Austin Hotel.\n\nNo. 6 is a scene of Pine trees at about 1,000 feet above sea level.\n\nHonourable G.

I think every effort should be made to attract men & to keep them. Even if we have to further increase pay. I agree that the 45 years age pension rule should be relaxed for Europeans. This makes the career too short and the pension too early.",

        "content_text": "## Government of Burmah to Government of India\n\n### Letter\n\nSir,\n\nThe Government of India, a copy of a letter, dated the 10th February last, which has been addressed to Mr. H. G. A. Leveson, Deputy Commissioner, Bhamo, regarding his deputation as British Representative of the Anglo-Chinese party for the examination of the undelimited frontier between China and Burmah north of latitude 25° 35'. Sir Hugh Barnes believes that the instructions contained in paragraph 3 of this letter are in accordance with the views of the Government of India, and trusts that they will be approved.\n\nI have, &c.\n\n(Signed)  \n**F. C. GATES**\n\n### Inclosure 5 in No. 1\n\nGovernment of Burmah to Deputy Commissioner, Bhamo.\n\nRangoon, February 10, 1905.\n\nWITH reference to the correspondence ending with your telegram dated the 6th February last, I am directed to forward, for your information, a selection of papers, cited in the annexed list, regarding the proposed expedition for the examination of the Burmah-China frontier north of latitude 25° 35′, of which you have been selected to be a member.\n\n2. Mr. Litton, His Majesty's Consul, Tengyueh, will be the British Representative. It will be your duty to afford him all the assistance you can in attaining the objects of the expedition. The Taotai of Tengyueh will be the Representative of the Chinese Government. The meeting-place will be Kuyung, which is three and a-half days' journey from Sadun. The combined party will proceed northwards along the undelimited frontier, observing and surveying the country. They will go as far as possible subject to the necessity of returning before the rains break, that is, by the 1st June. The party will be accompanied by a military police escort of forty Ghurka sepoys under a selected native officer, and the Inspector-General of Police and the Inspector-General of Civil Hospitals have been requested to make the necessary arrangements for the police and medical requirements as early as possible. The Surveyor-General has also been asked to place three additional surveyors at the disposal of the party.\n\n3. You will understand that the duty laid down upon the party to which you belong is not that of delimiting the frontier, but of ascertaining the actual position of the watershed and of pointing it out on the spot to your Chinese colleague. You should also endeavour to demonstrate to the Chinese Representative that the Chinese officials exercise no authority whatever on the west of the watershed. I am to explain that the present position in regard to the boundary in this region between Burmah and China is that the British Government have declined to admit the discussion of any proposals which would involve the extension of Chinese influence into the valley of the N'maikla, and that in September 1902 they instructed His Britannic Majesty's Minister in Peking to insist on the boundary proposed by the Government of India, of which a detailed description was given by Mr. Hertz in 1900. This boundary is the crest of the range forming the watershed between the streams flowing on the one side into the 'maikha, and on the other into the Shweli and Salween. There is no intention, so the Lieutenant-Governor believes, of departing in any way from this position, and the chief object of the present informal investigation is to induce the Chinese Government to acquiesce in it. The reluctance of the Chinese to accept it hitherto is believed to be due to the ignorance of their local officials both as to the position of the watershed, and as to the state of affairs which this Government believes to exist on the British side of it. It is hoped that this ignorance will be dispelled by the joint examination of the country that is about to be undertaken, and that it will be found possible to reassure the Chinese officials as to the nature of our demands, to convince them of the accuracy of our conclusions, and to persuade them to acquiesce in that geographical definition of the spheres of influence of the two Governments, which this Government believes to be the only one possible and consistent with facts. I am to invite your special attention to the letter from this Government to the Government of India in the Foreign Department, dated the 4th June, 1904. You will see that if the local Chinese Headmen can establish any claims to petty dues or presents from some of the small frontier villages on the British side of the border, it is desired to deal with them liberally, and you are authorized, if the watershed boundary is accepted, to offer to extinguish them by small money payments.\n\n4. You should communicate to this Government your own and Mr. Litton's suggestions on this point as early as possible. Your party will be accompanied by surveyors who should map the line of the watershed so as to ascertain it with reasonable accuracy.\n\n4. The first section of the survey work is from Manangpum to the head of the Tientang Valley, including the hills north of the Chinese Valleys of Lunma and Tantsa. The survey work may be difficult here, but political questions are less likely to arise on this section, and it may be done by a branch survey party, while the principal members of the party are encamped at the head of the Tientang Valley. From this camp, the watershed between the head of the Tientang branch of the Shweli River and the head of the Chipwe Kha can be examined, and a visit can be paid to the Lisaw villages at the head of the Chipwe. When this has been done, the party can move to the Upper Mien Kawng Valley, whence paths lead to the upper tributaries of the Irrawaddy via Hpare, Tzuchu, and Pien Ma. All these villages should be visited, and the country around there should be mapped. This can be done by sending out branch survey parties, while the principals remain encamped at Mien Kawng.\n\nIf possible, you should penetrate to the north along the western slope of the mountain range on the west of the Salween River, cross that range into the Salween Basin and return along the Salween. Information of much geographical interest may thus be obtained.\n\nI have, &c.  \n(Signed)  \n**F. C. GATES**\n\n### Inclosure 6 in No. 1\n\nGovernment of India to Government of Burmah.\n\nFort William, March 18, 1905.\n\nI AM directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 24th ultimo, forwarding a copy of a letter to Mr. H. G. A. Leveson, Deputy Commissioner at Bhamo, regarding his deputation as British Representative of the Anglo-Chinese Commission for the examination of the undelimited frontier between China and Burmah north of latitude 25° 35'.\n\n2. The Government of India approve the instructions to Mr. Leveson contained in paragraph 3 of the letter.\n\nI have, &c.  \n(Signed)  \n**C. SOMERS COCKS**",

O.S.\n\nEnclosure \n\n21902 \n\n18 JUN 1910 \n\nCO 327 16121 \n\nRece REGS 28 MAY 10 \n\nWith reference to the discussion in Committee yesterday I attach two interesting tables. The first is taken from a report by R.B. Moorhead, dated 31st December, 1901 (`Customs Decennial Reports` for 1892-1901, Vol. II p. 210), and the 2nd taken from a report by Mr. A.E. Harris, dated the 27th February, 1909 (`Returns of Trade for 1908` Part II Vol. IV p. 575).\n\nThese tables purport to show the total revenue collected by the Kowloon Customs both before and after the lease of the New Territories to Hongkong. For the years 1892-8 inclusive the collections were made by stations at Capsuimoon, Changchow, Fotochow and Kowloon, and during first half of 1899 collection was also made at these stations. During the second half of 1899 and for the years 1900 to 1908 inclusive, the collections were made by stations at Taishan and Lintin, at Samun and at Shauchung, Shamchun and Shatowkok.\n\nFor the years 1899 to 1901 inclusive the tables overlap and the figures do not agree, Mr. Harris giving in each case somewhat higher figures possibly owing to the inclusion of duty and likin on opium, which Mr. Moorhead neglected.\n\nThe figures are:-\n\n| Year | Moorhead | Harris | Differences |\n|------|----------|---------|-------------|\n| 1899 | Tls. 328,467 | Tls. 385,090 | Tls. 56,625 |\n| 1900 | 299,534 | 350,024 | 50,490 |\n| 1901 | 581,460 | 634,450 | 52,990 |\n\nThe differences, however, do not correspond exactly with the figures for duty and likin on opium given by Mr. Harris.\n\nThe combined tables show (a) that from 1892 to 1896 the revenue collected by the Kowloon Customs steadily increased: (b) that in 1897 there was a slight fall of Tls. 40,055: (c) that in the following year 1898, i.e. the year before the Customs abandoned their stations at Capsuimoon, Changchow, Potochow and Kowloon, there was an abrupt decrease\n\nPage 330  \nPage 331",

        "content_text": "# 328\n\nThere is, however, little doubt that the removal of the Customs stations from Capsulmoon, etc., to Taishan, etc. has greatly increased the cost of collection: but, as the Customs publish no figures as to their expenditure, it is impossible to ascertain what loss has been caused to them by the lease of the New Territories. I have been told by credible informants that the Customs have never yet succeeded in making their \"Kowloon station\" pay. Perhaps Mr. Moorhead states that \"the decrease in 1897 was probably due to the opening of the new West River ports and the stringent carrying out of the transit pass rules, both of which causes helped to divert trade from junks to other channels\" and that the decrease in 1898 was due to \"the same causes, assisted by the desire on the part of shippers to escape a tax called Tao-lu levied this year for the first time in certain articles (Tobacco, Salt Fish, Kerosene Oil, Samshu, etc.) passing the stations\".\n\nFrom Mr. Moorhead's table, which unfortunately has not been retained in the annual Returns of Trade, it appears that the figures for 1898 (when collection was made at Capsulmoon, etc.) and for 1901 (when collection was made at Taishan, etc.) were almost identical: while as regards the distribution between the several stations \n\n(a) in 1898 Capsulmoon and Changchow collected in all Tls. 307,354: but these stations were replaced by those at Taishan and Lintin which in 1901 collected Tls. 301,666 i.e. very nearly the same amount.\n\n(b) in 1898 Fatshan and Kowloon collected in all Tls. 31,252: but these stations were replaced by those at Samun, Saüchung, Shanchun and Shatowkok which in 1901 collected Tls. 49,794 i.e. a considerably increased sum.\n\nThere was a decrease of Tls. 162,009 or 51% in the total revenue collected: and that since then the total collection has remained fairly constant. \n\n| Year | Amount |\n|------|--------|\n| 1898 | 307,354 |\n| 1901 | 301,666 |\n| 1898 | 31,252  |\n| 1901 | 49,794  |\n\n# OUD, POA \n081, 183 \n# \n# \n0081 \n1001 \nBOOHOTO Alb eft \nBeon6re7710 \nxsa,50 004.08 090.38 \n\nBIT \n# \nerid reiw vijosxe broqnoroo den ob novewod \n.atmal \n\nTyd nevis muigo no ntvti bos yjub not newgit sunever crit 8001 of 1981 morî darit (s) nofe neidad beatdwoo aff TEBI mi dørit (0) besoni qIlheads amodwo noolwo? erit yd bedoellos BIT to IIa) silla a auw ezerid galuollot ert at dadd (o) :020 \n\nIt appears the rest of the text is not readable or meaningful after OCR.

However, the text still contains many errors and nonsensical phrases that would require further manual correction or review to restore the original meaning. \n\nUpon closer inspection, it seems that the text is a mix of actual content and garbled text due to OCR errors.

They then got the crew out of the hold, one by one, and hitting them demanded what money they had; after this, they left the junk, so I raised my anchor and sailed to Samun, where I reported the matter to the Customs. 3 of the crew were injured.\n\nTai Sing is the island known as \"Piedro Blanco\", 50 miles due East of Hongkong.

Following report received from O.O., Maritime Customs Station, Samun:- Master of the junk \"Shing Fat\", Hong Kong, reports having been pirated at Shekan, near Shau chung (Mirs Bay) at 1000, 3rd inst. All arms and equipment were taken away, together with $1,000 worth of cargo.\n\n5th Jan.1925. A train of the Canton-Hankow railway coming to Canton from Shulkwan, was held up and ransacked at Kwantin by a gang of over 100 bandits, 10 of whom boarded the train as passengers. When it arrived at Tai King Bridge they drew their revolvers and ordered the driver to stop. At the same time the other bandits who had been lying in wait under the bridge sprang up and rushed the train. 10 passengers were kidnapped. On the receipt of the alarm, the railway authorities at Wongsha Station sent an armoured train with 100 armed railway policemen to the rescue. When it arrived at the scene of the robbery, the bandits had disappeared.\n\n5th Jan.1925. A Chinese launch, named Ngar You, flying the British Flag was taken by bandit troops disguised as Yunnanese mercenaries. The launch was taken to a place some 15 miles north west of Canton, and later released after 22 passengers of prosperous appearance had been put ashore as captives. The rest were relieved of all valuables. The launch was plying between Canton and the villages to the west.\n\n11th Jan.1925. The French Steam Launch \"Siu Fook\" manned by pirates was rammed by the launch towing the Shui-Hing, Kongmoon passenger junk. 35 pirates were killed and 40 drowned.\n\n16th Jan.1925. Pirates attacked a cargo boat plying between Kuchen and Kongmoon, and made a haul of cash and valuables to a large amount, in addition to which a number of passengers were kidnapped and taken to an unknown retreat by the robbers.\n\n24th Jan. 1925. 36 men believed to be pirates carried out a successful raid at Pak-kai, Kongmoon. They looted a block of ten houses owned by a prosperous landlord and building contractor of Pak-kai, kidnapped the man's son, and shot a youth who attempted to escape from one of the houses. The pirates crossed over from Chu Lin to Pak-kai in sampans, most of them carrying automatic pistols and electric torches. Others carried ladders which they used to enter the houses through the windows, breaking the iron bars. All the houses were ransacked. The gang left one of their number behind dead. It is believed that this man was accidentally shot, in the darkness, by one of his confederates.\n\nPage 30\n\nPage 31",

It was leased to the British and French Governments, and as such it was the private property of these two Governments. It was not a public place where everyone had the right to come and go. It was for the Council to make regulations to regulate traffic on Shameen.\n\nThe Chairman of the Municipal Council, referring to Rule 7 and Rule 15, said that people having business on the Shameen could land and go to their place of business by the shortest route.\n\nMr. Taylor asked what about people having business at certain foreign wharves down the river.\n\nH.B.M. Consul-General: Why do they want to come on the Shameen?\n\nMr. Taylor said there were a large number of Chinese who before going to the foreign wharves had to visit the ship-",

        "content_text": "INTERVIEW WITH SECOND ENGINEER.\n\nMR. D. S. GOLDIE.\n\nThe Second Engineer, Mr. D. S. Goldie, was seen leaving the ship in company with Mrs. Goldie who had come to meet him, and very kindly gave a few interesting facts to the Daily Press reporter. He was in a hurry to get home, and could not say very much. He was down in the engine-room at the time, and a little after eight bells in the morning watch, when he was due to be relieved he came on deck, only to be confronted by a pirate with a revolver. Resistance was useless. He was taken to the mess where he found his fellow officers in the same predicament. The pirate who covered him with the revolver, spoke Chinese and later made signs which Goldie finally understood meant that he wanted his revolver. The pirate ransacked the cabin and found it. He also helped himself to other articles in the cabin. Later Mr. Goldie was sent down to the engine room with the other engineers, and saw little of what happened after that. However, he remarked that the Second Officer (Mr. J. G. Forster) was rather lucky. He was shot at on several occasions by the pirates, but fortunately all the shots went wide. Mr. Goldie said that he met the pirate chief who spoke excellent English.\n\nHOW THE \"YUENG SHING\"\n\nFOUND OUT.\n\nSecond Officer P. F. Shaw, of the Yueng Shing said that their launch was at anchor in Samun Bay just off Bias Bay, when the signalman at the Signal-Station on shore informed them that the s.s. Tean was heading towards Bias Bay in a suspicious manner. They immediately weighed anchor, cleared for action, and pursued the s.s. Tean to Bias Bay. On drawing close to the Tean they noticed that H.M.S. Somme was there at anchor. The Tean suddenly swung right around, and headed for a little cove between Bluff Point and Lok Sui Point. There she stopped and as the Yueng Shing came up they fired several shots across the bows of the pirated ship. The pirates lowered two life-boats and made for shore. The Yueng Shing then came alongside the Tean and took control of her. Meanwhile two armed parties under Capt. W. H. Poole and Mr. Shaw were landed and pursued the pirates. It was rough at the time and one of the stolen life-boats was smashed while being beached. A suitcase, which contained the loot sank with the boat but was later salvaged. The pirates herded their captives ashore, and tried to escape inland. One of the passengers was unable to keep up with them and he was pushed over a cliff, and fell to the bottom, a distance of 300 feet. He was found later by Mr. Shaw and taken back to the s.s. Tean. Meanwhile the pirates were pursued and shots were exchanged. The pirates saw that they were being overtaken and left their prisoners and fled, dispersing in all directions. Most of the loot was recovered and the passengers and officers were taken back to the ship. The s.s. Yueng Shing then accompanied the s.s. Tean to Hong Kong.\n\nSUPERINTENDENT OF CHINESE CUSTOMS.\n\nAmong the passengers aboard the s.s. Tean, who were taken ashore by the pirates was Mr. Ping Kwan Foo, Superintendent of Chinese Customs at Hoihow. He was accompanied by a friend at the time, who was also taken prisoner. These two gentlemen were rescued by the party under Mr. P. F. Shaw.\n\nThe Loot.\n\nThe pirates were not very satisfied with the loot they made. It is estimated that the robbers' total haul was something about $12,000, of which $4,000 was in cash. The balance was made up of jewellery and clothing. When they were chased by the pursuit party from the Yueng Shing the pirates dropped a suitcase containing $3,000 which has been recovered.\n\nThe European Passengers.\n\nAmong the three European passengers were Mr. and Mrs. Drummond. Mr. Drummond is connected with the A.P.C. at Hoihow and was coming to Hong Kong with his wife. It is understood that Mr. Drummond had been through a piracy ordeal previously. He was asleep last night and as our representative was told that he and his wife also had a very trying time, he was not disturbed.\n\nSeveral Suspects Detained.\n\nIt is understood that several men were detained by the Police on suspicion.\n\nThe s.s. Tean, is one of the China Navigation Steamers, and has for years plied between Haiphong, Hoihow and Hong Kong. At the time she was carrying a cargo of cattle and general merchandise. The local Agents of the vessel are Messrs. Butterfield & Swire. She is commanded by Captain E. H. Histed, with Mr. J. Roberts as Chief Engineer. Other officers are: Chief Officer, Mr. A. Mills; 2nd Officer, J. G. Forster; 2nd Engineer, D. S. Goldie; and 3rd Engineer, Mr. J. J. Thompson.\n\nPage 158",

No. K07/107\n\nSubject: Piracy of s.s. TEAN - action taken by H.M.S. Somme.\n\nProceedings and\n\nSubmitted,\n\nAbout 1100 on 28th May, 1928, I was anchored about midway between the northern end of Bate Island (Bias Bay) and Thornton Rock, 1.4 miles 293 degrees from Bias Point, carrying out duty in accordance with Hong Kong Operation Order No. 4. The weather was squally and visibility was limited.\n\nI observed a steamer steering approximately northwestward, distant about 7 miles bearing about 220 degs. I ordered steam immediately and hove in cable, as the ship appeared to be entering the western side of Bias Bay. I was under way at 1118 and proceeded with despatch to investigate. By this time the strange ship appeared to have stopped. On closing the ship at 1135, she proved to be the s.s. TEAN; her captain informed me that his ship had been pirated in Hoihow anchorage, and that the pirates (to the number of about 40) had landed in two of her life-boats, taking as hostages the First and Second Officers (British), Chinese crews of the lifeboats and seven Chinese passengers. s.s. TEAN was at this time anchored about 2 miles northeastward of TEYI Point. The Captain also stated that the pirates had left the ship as soon as possible after H.M.S. Somme had been sighted, the TEAN having rounded Single Island and entered Bias Bay east of TUNI ANG Island.\n\nAbout 1140 the Chinese Customs Cruiser \"YEUNG SHING\" arrived from SAMUN Road via the northern end of TUNI ANG Island.

        "content_text": "## Forestry Report\n\nReserve trees include Tristania conferta, Aleurites Fordii, Acacia confusa, Cunninghamia sinensis, Pithecolobium Saman, Cinnamomum Camphora, Ginkgo biloba, Celtis sinensis, and Glyptostrobus heterophyllus.\n\nThe planting of roadside trees for shade and decorative purposes was maintained and extended during the year. A large number of trees were killed or damaged by the gale of August 20th and could not be replaced before the end of the year. The force of the gale did most damage between Castle Peak and Sheung Shui, where many fine specimens of Melaleuca Leucadendron were destroyed.\n\n### Trees Felled\n\nIncreased motor traffic necessitated the removal of a number of large shade trees from the sides of the motor roads. Other felling was carried out in connection with the development of building sites, the formation of dairy farms, and the leasing of the necessary grass-growing areas adjoining the farms, extensions of cemeteries, and work in connection with reservoir catchment areas.\n\n### Miscellaneous Planting\n\nPlanting of shade and flowering trees, shrubs, and creepers was carried on in large numbers of otherwise unused small open spaces in all parts of the Colony.\n\n### Undergrowth Clearing\n\nAnti-malarial clearing has now been extended to the Tai Po district, where systematic removal of undergrowth is carried out in the vicinity of houses and public buildings twice annually. During the year, the total areas cleared in connection with anti-malarial measures totalled 3,905,835 square feet. For other purposes, such as surveys, training of nullahs, and other public improvements, the areas cleared amounted to 2,642,805 square feet.\n\n### Insect Pests\n\nPine Tree Caterpillars (`Eutricha punctata`) appeared in the Pine plantations in many parts of the Colony in March and were in evidence at the end of the year. Serious damage was done to Pine trees during the month of June. Collection and burying of the caterpillars was commenced when there was no longer any hope of weather conditions destroying the pest. The total amount collected and destroyed in all parts of the Colony was 14,637 pounds.\n\n### Protection from Fire\n\nA total of 30 hill and plantation fires occurred during the year. No serious damage was done to any Government plantation, but large numbers of wild trees on the slopes of Tai Mo Shan were destroyed. Little or no assistance in dealing with fires was given by village people living within short distances of the burnt areas. Most of the fires appeared to be due to careless dropping of lighted tobacco or matches.\n\nThe wet days preceding the Tsing Ming and Chung Yeung festivals prevented the usual number of fires that break out in the vicinity of isolated graves and cemeteries. Fire barriers in plantations, in the vicinity of cemeteries and graves, were cleared, with the major portion of the work being completed before the end of the year. A new fire barrier was made at West Bay to protect the young plantations established there.\n\n### Forest Guards Service\n\nThe total number of persons arrested and charged with forestry offences during the year was 355. Of these, 300 were fined or imprisoned, 26 cautioned, 10 had their bail estreated, 10 were discharged, 6 bound over in personal bonds of $100 each, and charges against 8 were withdrawn. Full particulars of these cases are given in Tables I & II.\n\n| Outcome        | Number |\n| -------------- | ------ |\n| Fined/Imprisoned | 300    |\n| Cautioned      | 26     |\n| Bail estreated | 10     |\n| Discharged     | 10     |\n| Bound over     | 6      |\n| Charges withdrawn | 8     |\n\nFifteen persons who were convicted of a second, and in some cases, a third or fourth forestry offence were banished. A number of the persons so dealt with lived entirely on the proceeds of timber and other thefts, and their absence from the Colony has undoubtedly lessened the destruction of mature timber in the older plantations.\n\nChiefly as a result of penalties inflicted and warnings given in District Officers' Courts, the amount of illicit felling of the larger indigenous trees in outlying districts was much less than during the past five years.\n\nEfforts are still being made to stop the cutting of New Year Flower (`Enkianthus quinqueflorus`). Notices are now posted in all parts of the Colony for some weeks prior to Chinese New Year, warning the villagers against destroying this flowering shrub. This, and the fact that a plentiful supply is now brought down from Canton, has had the effect of lessening the more serious wholesale cuttings, but thefts of small quantities in the Wan Chai Gap and Tytam districts were again numerous.\n\nA Forest Guard was seriously assaulted by villagers from Chung Pak Long while on duty in the Pine plantations at Fan Ling. The offenders were subsequently arrested and sentenced to terms of imprisonment.\n\n### Forestry Service Paths\n\nOne new path leading from Stanley Gap to West Bay was made. All other paths were given such attention as they required.\n\n### Forestry Licences, New Territories\n\nFees collected during the year amounted to $4,099.70, as against $4,888.74 in 1926.\n\nPage 80",

        "content_text": "439\n\nEstablishment of Custom stations on new frontier.\n\n(12)\n\nexported from the Colony into China. The attitude of the merchants, both in Hongkong and in London, was uncompromising, and might fairly be summed up as a strong desire to see the Chinese Customs cleared bag and baggage out of the Colony and of Colonial waters.†\n\n§ 10. The Inspector General's proposals were not accepted. The New Territory was handed over to the Hongkong Government in April 1899 by virtue of the Convention for the Extension of Hongkong, signed at Peking on 9th June 1898, and the Chinese Customs stations were closed on the 4th October that year. New duty-collecting stations were established at Taishan (A) and Liutin (B), in the estuary of the Canton River, to replace Capsuimoon, and at Shaichung (C) and Samun (D), to the east of Mirs Bay, to replace Fotochow. Shumchun(E) was opened as a collecting station on 1st March 1900, and on 19th February of the following year Shatowkok (F) was raised from the position of a frontier post to that of a collecting station. In addition, frontier guard posts, some of which have on occasion served also as collecting stations, had to be established along the land boundary. The number of these frontier posts has varied from time to time, but it includes, or has included, the following: Chekwan (G), Kwaimiao (H), Shatau (I), Lungtsunhu (龜津虂), Lofong (羅坊), Lowu (飔門), Lintong (華場), Shatowkok (沙头角), Yimtin (J), Kaichung (K), Tipfuk (L), Hasha (M), and Namo (N). This elongation of the land frontier was a great advantage to smugglers. Prior to 1899 the frontier was only about 2 miles in length and was protected by a stout bamboo fence, some 8 feet high, along the entire line. This fence was pierced by six gates, and an armed patrol both by night and by day saw to it that only legitimate trade passed through these gates. After 1899 the frontier ran for some 60 miles through rough and hilly country from Chekwan on the west to Mirs Greatly increased Point on the east. To add to the difficulty of controlling this greatly extended line the waters of the Shumchun River were declared to be British, while the boundary along the shores of Deep Bay and Mirs Bay was delimited at the high-water mark. This enabled smugglers to lie protected in British waters within a yard or so of Chinese territory and as it was manifestly impossible for the Chinese Government to provide preventive officers to guard every junk to slip their goods ashore practically when and where they pleased. The Chinese Customs office, however, in the city of Victoria, for the convenience of the trading public, was allowed to remain where it was, but on the old status of sufferance only. Revenue cruisers and cruising launches continued to patrol Chinese waters and to make use of Hongkong harbour as ships of war, but the sea-line now to be patrolled was perforce extended from a little over 20 to some 80 miles, a fact which also rejoiced the hearts of the smuggling fraternity.\n\nDifficulties of control.\n\n§ 11. Relations between the Colony and the Chinese Customs remained practically in this position for the next 10 years, but the decade was marked by a characteristic incident. In 1902 negotiations were proceeding between Great Britain and China for a new commercial treaty. This treaty, inter alia, was to provide for a revision of the import tariff to bring the rates up to an effective 5 per cent. duty—the first actual revision of China's import tariff for over 40 years—and to arrange for other tariff changes, especially in regard to the levy of likin. The Colony became apprehensive that its growing trade might be adversely affected by such changes. In the years preceding the Opium Agreement of 1886, as we have seen, Hongkong merchants and officials were indignant that the Chinese authorities levied higher duties on junk-borne cargoes to and from Hongkong—a foreign place—than they did on such cargoes to and from Macao, at that time Chinese territory.* China, although within her rights in making such levies, had removed the grievance by granting the wished-for concession in the Agreement of 1886, and Hongkong trade had benefited accordingly. Now, however, the Hongkong merchants, having reaped the advantage of the lowered junk rates, were fearful lest these lower rates should affect adversely the carrying trade in foreign steamers between Hongkong and the treaty ports in the province of Canton, when a higher import tariff on foreign goods going into China, and possible alterations in the likin procedure, were about to be put into force. Accordingly, an article was inserted in the so-called Mackay Treaty, signed at Shanghai on 5th September 1902, to the effect that \"duties and likin combined levied on goods carried by junks from Hongkong to the Treaty Ports in the Canton Province and vice versa, shall together not be less than the duties charged by the Imperial Maritime Customs on similar goods carried by steamer.\" This article, although designed for a specific purpose, was in effect a recognition of the principle that the amount of taxation to be levied on goods should not vary with the mode of conveyance, a principle which, in these days of greatly increased Maritime Customs tariff rates, has a wider significance than probably was intended by the framers of the article. Another event happening in this decade, which was destined to affect vitally the relations between the Colony and the Chinese Customs, was the Imperial Edict of 20th September 1906 ordering gradual cessation of opium trade.† This led to domestic coercive measures on the part of the Chinese Government for the suppression of the production and use of the home-grown article and to an agreement with the British Government for the gradual reduction and eventual extinction of the import of the drug from India. Such an arrangement could not but have an adverse reaction on the Colony's revenue. Happily, thanks largely to the genial personality of Mr. W. R. McD. Parr, who was Commissioner of Customs for the Kowloon district from November 1904 to September 1908, the relations between the Chinese Customs and the Hongkong Government had lost much of their former official stiffness, so that when the Colonial Government decided to tax alcohol and spirits§ in order, if possible, to make good the revenue that was being forfeited by the cessation of the opium trade it was felt to be natural that the Colony should seek China's assistance in the matter. Hongkong's necessity, in fact, became\n\n(13)\n\n1902.\n\nDuties on goods carried by steamer.\n\nMackay Treaty.\n\nImperial Edict of September 1906.\n\n...\n\n* British Parliamentary Papers: China No. 1 (1899), p. 297.\n† Vide \"Hongkong Daily Press,\" 9th, 10th, and 15th September 1898; also Customs publications: Office Series, No. 62. \"Kowloon Customs\" (Shanghai, 1899).\n‡ Hertalet, op. cit., Vol. I, pp. 120, 121.\n§ Vide Map, facing p. 1.\n* Macao was never officially recognised by China as Portuguese territory till the signing of the Protocol of Lisbon of 1887, the articles of which were confirmed by the Treaty of Amity and Commerce between Portugal and China, signed 1st December 1887 (vide Chinese Customs publications: \"Treaties, Conventions, etc., between China and Foreign States,\" Second Edition (2 vols., Shanghai, 1917), Vol. II, pp. 273, 275).\n† British Parliamentary Papers: China No. 1 (1908), p. 1.\n‡ Ibid., pp. 14, 17, 21, 29, 45, 47, 48.

DECOY\n\nat Hong Kong.\n\n79\n\n4th February, 1935\n\nSir,\n\nI have the honour to forward the following letter of Proceedings regarding operations connected with the piracy of S.S. TUNGCHOW.\n\n2. In compliance with Commodore, Hong Kong's message timed 2317/1 I weighed at 0630 and proceeded out of Samun Roads for Autan, arriving there at 0750, 2nd February.\n\n3. I proceeded ashore to Colonel Chen's headquarters where I was met by Major Ma and Lieutenant Commander Chow, Commanding Officer C.S. \"WU PUNG\", which ship was at anchor in the harbour having relieved \"KWANG KIM\" which had returned to Canton.\n\n4. I was informed that Colonel Chen had proceeded to Canton the previous day.\n\n5. Major Ma had received the message from the Commodore, Hong Kong, giving information of the piracy and had cabled all their coastal authorities to warn them to keep a look out.\n\n6. He also informed me that the headquarters at Hai Fong had been warned and that they would send troops to the vicinity of Tsiech Point. Apart from this no further action appeared to have been instituted, nor had \"WU FUNG\" raised steam.\n\n7.\n\n8. After explaining the situation and stating that I was prepared to give all possible assistance and to transport troops, Major Ma said he would like to embark with 20 soldiers and the latter could be ready by 0900. (It was then 0835).\n\n9. He said at my suggestion, Lt. Comdr. Chow agreed to raise steam in \"WU FUNG\" to proceed to Hong Hai Bay and he proposed first calling at Ping Hoi, though his purpose in doing so was not clear. that \"WU FUNG\" would be ready at 1000. He asked me how many pirates had landed. I was not then in possession of this information, but replied about 10 or probably more.\n\n10.\n\n11. I left Headquarters at 0855 and called alongside \"WU FUNG\" on my way back to arrange W/T communication with her and to acquaint the Commanding Officer that she was about to get under way. She was observed to remove her funnel cover 5 minutes later.\n\n12. At 0910 my motor boat and whaler proceeded inshore to embark Major Ma and his troops.\n\n13. At 0935 I received a message from the shore that Major Ma was breakfasting.\n\n14. Major Ma, another officer and 30 soldiers embarked in \"DECOY\" at 1030 and \"DECOY\" immediately weighed and proceeded for Tsiech Point at 26 knots as soon as the islands in Bias bay had been cleared.\n\n15. It was my impression that it was due to firm handling and his desire to \"save face\" that induced Major Ma to embark with his troops - otherwise it is doubtful if he would have taken any action.",

Ship under my command from the 30th January to the 3rd February, 1935.\n\n2.\n\nWednesday 30th January • at 0900 H.M.S. \"Defender\" assumed duties of Duty Destroyer and sailed in company with H.M.S. \"Hermes\" for flying practices. These took place in the south-western part of the patrol area, which was entered at 1045. On completion of flying practices at 1245, H.M.S. \"Defender\" proceeded to Saman Roads, coming to anchor at 1322. At 1830, weighed and proceeded to carry out a dusk patrol across the entrance to Bias Bay, anchoring in Harlem Bay, at 1852.\n\n3.\n\nThursday, 31st January. At 0545, weighed and proceeded to carry out a dawn patrol off Tokai Point and Mendoza Island. Subsequently proceeding to rendezvous with Captain (D), 8th Destroyer Flotilla at 0900 off Waglan for exercises. On completion of exercises at 1005, H.M.S. \"Defender\" returned to the patrol area, and anchored in Mirs Bay at 1240. At 1830, weighed and proceeded to carry out a dusk patrol between Mirs Point and Single Island, anchoring in Saman Roads at 2000.\n\n4.\n\nFriday, 1st February • At 0445 weighed in order to make weather report, and proceeded to patrol off Single Island, subsequently anchoring off Mirs Point, prior to joining H.M.S. \"HERMES\" off Bate Island at 0940 for flying practices. These were carried out in Mirs Bay and the western part of the patrol area, and during this period H.M.S. \"DEFENDER\" was keeping W/T watch on 240 k/cs, H.M.S. \"HERMES\" being guard on 113 k/cs.\n\n5. At 1250 your signal 1145/1st February was received from H.M.S. \"KARNES\", and I was ordered to proceed as directed therein at 1300. About 25 minutes was lost through this signal first being passed by V/S in coded groups many of which were mutilated. Position at 1244 was 6.4 miles 213 deg: from Single Island, course 060 deg: speed 15 knots. Before parting company, Commanding Officer, H.M.S. \"HERMES\" informed me by signal that aircraft would be flown off in the afternoon to search out the area in the vicinity of Chilang Point.\n\n6. I accordingly set course for Chilang Point at 24 knots, intending to close in towards Goat Island and investigate the coast between Tai Sami Head and Chilang Point before establishing a patrol to the southeastward of Chilang Point.\n\n7.\n\nAt about 1400 I observed that one of the two aircraft sent out by H.M.S. \"HERMES\" was patrolling along the coast. I therefore decided that it would be unnecessary for me to waste time in closing Goat Island and maintained my course for position 8 miles south of Chilang Point.\n\n8.\n\nAt 1500 I overtook the S.S. \"SUISANG\" northward bound, to whose Master I passed a message requesting him to inform the A.P. vessel if he saw or heard anything of S.S. \"TUNGCHOW\".\n\n9.\n\nAt about 1510 I observed a small steamer in Hong Hai Bay (estimated position 5 miles 270 degrees from Tsiech Point) steering for Tai Sami. It appeared to me to be one of the small vessels which ply between the coastal villages lying between Mirs Bay and Hie Chi Chin Bay. This I considered to be confirmed by the fact that the aircraft which had passed over her vicinity had not reported her.",

        "content_text": "# \n[1st witness Lam Chu.]\n\n5. An Official notification was also sent to the Portuguese Consul in view of the fact that certain of the survivors were inhabitants of the Portuguese Colony of Macao and a formal acknowledgment has been received. I am informed that the Portuguese Consul is here to-day but that he does not desire to take any active part in the proceedings.\n\n6. In addition, a formal notice pursuant to sec. 3(3) of the **Commissioners Powers Ordinance, 1886**, stating the time and place of hearing has been published in the **Government Gazette** and in the local press and copies of the notice have been sent to Messrs. Butterfield & Swire, who are the agents for the s.s. `Kaying`, and to Messrs. Melchers, who are the local agents for the Norddeutscher Lloyd, the owners of the s.s. `Scharnhorst`, but as far as I am aware there is no one present who desires to take any active part in this inquiry.\n\n7. The **Chairman**: If the Portuguese Consul would care to come to Counsels' Table where it will be easier to hear everything that transpires and have an opportunity of taking any notes he desires, the Commission will be very happy.\n\n8. The Portuguese Consul moves to Counsels' Table after thanking the Commissioners.\n\n9. **Chairman**: Mr. Whyatt, will you shortly outline the course which you propose to take with regard to the various witnesses who will have to appear before us?\n\n10. Mr. Whyatt: I have been asked to appear before the Commission during this inquiry for the purpose of assisting you as far as I am able, in the task which has been entrusted to you under your terms of reference by His Excellency the Officer Administering the Government of the Colony of Hong Kong. It will be necessary in order that the true facts relating to the sinking of these fishing junks may be established that you should have before you witnesses who can give sworn evidence of the material circumstances and the object of my presence at this inquiry is to call before the Commission all the witnesses who are available whose evidence can be of assistance to the Commission in arriving at its conclusions. I desire to say that in calling this evidence I shall observe strictly the ordinary rules of evidence, and in no circumstances will any evidence be tendered or any questions be asked which would not be admissible in proceedings conducted in accordance with the practice which prevails in a British Court of Justice.\n\n11. I do not propose before calling the witnesses to make any comments or to outline in detail the evidence which they will give, because I think it is desirable in an inquiry of this kind that the material to be placed before the Commission for its consideration should be limited strictly to the oral testimony of the witnesses themselves. It will be sufficient, I think, for your purposes, if I indicate to you as briefly as possible the various classes of witnesses who will be called and the nature of the evidence they will give concerning the matters relevant to this inquiry.\n\n12. In the first place I shall call before you a number of eye-witnesses who were present on board the fishing junks that we are concerned with, who will describe to you the circumstances in which these vessels were sunk. Altogether ten fishing junks were sunk and although many lives were lost, there was fortunately a considerable number of survivors, and of these fourteen are at present in this Colony and will be called to give evidence. Their evidence will be supplemented to some extent by an officer from the British Steamship `Kaying` which picked up some of the survivors. Other survivors were picked up by the German liner `Scharnhorst` but as she has already sailed for Europe and will not call at the port of Hong Kong again until she returns to the Far East in two months' time, I regret to say it will not be possible to call witnesses from the `Scharnhorst` at this enquiry to tell you what they know concerning this matter.\n\n13. In addition to the evidence of eye-witnesses, I shall call medical evidence from the Queen Mary Hospital and the Kwong Wah Hospital. The witnesses from these hospitals will be doctors who attended to those survivors who required medical attention when they arrived in Hong Kong, and they will describe to you what they found when they examined these men after their admission to hospital. These witnesses, in addition to giving oral evidence, will produce as exhibits a splinter of metal and a copper bullet which have been removed from the bodies of two of the survivors and also an X-ray photograph which was taken before an operation was performed on one of these men.\n\n14. I shall also call evidence from the Royal Observatory at Hong Kong as to the weather conditions that prevailed on the relevant dates in the vicinity of the place where the junks were sunk. And lastly I shall call a naval officer who will give evidence as an expert on the question of the distinguishing marks which are carried by certain naval craft with which he is familiar.\n\n15. I think perhaps I have now said sufficient in this brief summary to indicate to you the nature of the evidence I intend to put before you and with your leave I will now proceed to call the witnesses.\n\n16. First Witness. Lam Chu, duly declared, states:—\n\n17. Mr. Whyatt to **Chairman**: Will it be convenient for the members of the Commission to have copies of the Admiralty chart?\n\n18. **Chairman**: I think it will be very material, if we may have them now.\n\n19. Copies of Admiralty chart No. `1962`, Hong Kong to the Brothers, handed in.\n\n20. Mr. Whyatt to witness:\n\n21. Your name is Lam Chu? I am Lam Chu.\n\n22. How old are you? I am 42 years old.\n\n23. Where were you born? I was born at Yaumati.\n\n24. What have you done all your life for a living? I have been travelling aboard a fishing junk for all my life.\n\n25. In September of this year were you the owner of a fishing junk? Yes.\n\n26. What was the number of that junk? No. 36.\n\n27. Where was it licensed? Licensed both at Cheung Chau and Shaukiwan.\n\n28. How long had you owned that junk? Several years.\n\n29. Can you give us some idea of its value? Worth about $9,000.\n\n30. You remember sailing in your fishing junk for the purpose of going on a fishing expedition in September this year? Yes.\n\n31. Where did you sail from? From Shaukiwan.\n\n32. Can you give me the date? On the 17th September, 1937.\n\n33. Did you sail alone or were you accompanied by any junks? By other fishing junks.\n\n34. Can you tell me the name of the master of one of the fishing junks that sailed with you? Fung Kam-shing.\n\n35. Have you got a brother who owns a fishing junk? Lam Shu-po, my brother, also owned a fishing junk.\n\n36. Did he sail with you from Shaukiwan on 17th September? Yes, he went with my junk at the same time.\n\n37. Where did you sail to from Shaukiwan? To somewhere near San Mei.\n\n38. **Chairman** to Mr. Whyatt: Does he mean his brother was in his junk or on his own junk?\n\n39. Mr. Whyatt: I will try to clear up that point, Sir.\n\n40. To witness: You told us that Lam Shu-po owns a junk? Yes.\n\n41. You told us that when you sailed from Shaukiwan on your junk on 17th September your brother also sailed from Shaukiwan? Yes, he went in his own junk and we both went from Shaukiwan. We worked together when we caught fish.\n\n42. You have got to San Mei. Do you remember where you went to from San Mei?\n\n43. We went from Sha Mun (Samun) to San Mei.\n\n44. After you got to San Mei where did you sail to?\n\n45. Is there a lighthouse at Chelong? Yes.\n\nTo Chelong.\n\nPage 200\nPage 180\nPage 181",
