LAST Sunday week, at 4:30 in the momlag while a police launch, in charge of Sergeant Burchall, was patrolling the waters of the harbour near Tsin-wan, his boat was run into by No. 3 launch belonging to the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Co., An enquiry was held this morning at the Harbour Master's Office before the Hon. R. Murray Ramsey, R.N., when it was shown that the collision was caused by the lights on the Dock launch not being in their proper position, being placed on the roof of the cabin.
