The complamant, recalled, said that he left the garage at 7.45 p.m., and a few minutes later the defendants and party drove away first to Wanchai and then to Shekongchul thence back to Wanchi where they stopped at Spring Garden Land for over an hour. From Spring Garden Lace, they went to Taikoo where all left the car.

O'Connor confirmed Kelly's statement. The officer said that he could not throw any new light on the case, as there was no record as to what time tire men came aboard, and the other ship was away now. and he could not make enquiries.
