September while out in his steam pinnace, Inspector Riley noticed a boat containing a police launch steam up, edged in towards the number of men, who immediately they saw the shore. But as the pinnace began to overhaul the boat the men turned towards the Hongkong shore and endeavoured to get away, She was followed and eventually boarded by Inspector Riley, who had noticed one of the crew throw a revolver overboard. He found nine of the pri soners in the boat and after making a search discovered four choppers and several rounds of revolver ammunition. While towing the boat
