Before leaving Hong Kong on June 4 I was requested by one of my friends to take packages to

He inquired from Mr. Kwok whether Mrs. Kao Ying was the person to be arrest ed and being answered in the affir- mative took her arm and hurried. ly escorted her to a motor car. Meanwhile the crowd surrounding the party was terrific and jostled each other to get a glimpse of the prisoners, In the meantime Messrs. Kao Ying and 8n En Foon had also joined the crowd under escort but those responsible for the arrest seemed to concentrate on Mra Kao Ying, the chief officials always being with her. Mr. Eno Ying, a rather tall slight man, en- tered the motor car and then his wife. Two or three officials clam bered in as well and two more in the front. Meanwhile the crowd surged round the car. Some argu=" ment occurred and one man left the car. There was some fostling and the man-presumably Mr.. Kao Ying--insisted on returning, He did so and the party drove off to the North Railway Station

"The American official while in-

I had been waiting for a public hearing in the United States courts when Dr. C. C. Wu, the Chinese Minister at Washing- ton, advised me to go to China to settle the trouble in the courts there.
