I am S/Sgt LAU Yung-kan, presently working on Police Launch number 73 in Marine South Division. I have a total of 22 years service in the Royal Hong Kong Police Force. I was promoted to my present rank in 1984 and I have been working in South Division for the past seven years.

On Friday 27th December 1991 I was OC of Launch 73. At 2210 hours, the radio operator of my Launch received a message from PL 4, which is the divisional command launch, stating that they had received information from Marine Control at Marine HQ. The information stated that a flashing torch signal had been seen coming from a rock named Wong Fa Pai. This rock is a navigational hazard located approximately 1/2 miles south west of Tai 0 village on Lantau Island. This area is the southern extremity of our divisional patrol area.
3.
On receipt of the above information, we were at Cheung Chau Hoi, which is approximately 14 miles East from the location of Tai 0. I directed that we proceed at full speed to the scene of the incident. We eventually arrived at 2305 hours the same day.

The waves were
The weather conditions this night were atrocious. approximately 10 feet in height, there was a
a strong northerly wind registering 7 8 on the Beaufort scale, the temperature was down to 0 I degree Celsius and it was raining heavily. The weather was that severe that it made any operational duties very difficult.
5.
On arrival at the scene I saw a flashing torch light, as described in our information, coming from Wong Fa Pai. I could see Police Launch number 65
in the vicinity. We received a radio message from this Launch telling us that in their opinion it was far too rough to lower the sea rider PV 43 into the sea, because of the weather condition.
