from f
I am Police Sergeant 13273 LAM Kong, presently attached to Police Launch number 73 in Marine South Division. I have 19 years service in the Royal Hong Kong Police Force and I have been posted in South Division for two years now.
2.
On Friday 27th December 1991 I was on duty on launch 73, in my capacity as a deck qualified Sergeant. The officer in charge of the Launch was Station Sergeant LAU Yung-kan.
3.
At 2210 hours that day, I was off watch and taking rest when we received information from our divisional command launch PL 4 from the control room at Marine Headquarters, that a flashing torch distress signal had been seen on Wong Fa Pai, which is approximately 1 1/2 miles south west of Tai O village on Lautau Island. Our present location was Cheung Chau Hoi, which is a distance approximately 14 miles east of Wong Fa Pai.
4.
The sea conditions and the weather at this time were very extreme. The rain was hard and there was a strong northerly wind. The waves were easily in excess of 10 feet in height in the open sea and the temperature had plummetted to round about 0 degrees celsius.
5.
We were instructed to proceed directly to Wong Fa Pai to render whatever assistance necessary. We went at full speed and arrived at 2305 hours. On the way the sea was so rough that it was crashing right over the boat as we hit waves.
6.
On arrival, I could just about sea a flashing light coming from Wong Fa Pai, so we journeyed as close as navigationally possible in order to see if we could see what was happening. It was far too dangerous to get close enough to really see anything, so after once around the rock we headed towards slightly calmer waters nearer to Tai 0. It was obviously going to be necessary to lower our sea-rider (PV 43) before standing any chance of getting alongside Wong Fa Pai. Visibility was considerably reduced with the heavy rain.
