Yeung Hin, a telephone clerk of the Kowloon Fire Station, stated that he received a call for the jambulance at 7.15 p.m. On receipt of the message witness told the caller to wait till he telephoned for the Hongkong ambulance. On being connected with the Hongkong Fire Station witness was told that the ambulance was not available, as it had gone to the Victoria Hot- pital.

Mr. H. Barrett, principal warder of the Laichikok prisons, who was the driver of the motor cycle in question said that he had only driven a cycle prior to coming to the Colony for about five minutes, Before the accident he had ridden his combination for a fortnight..

Answering a further question, witness said that he gave orders to the clerk in Iongkong to send a message to Kowloon immediately the ambulance returned. It was at 7.51 that witness was informed the ambulance in Hongkong had re- turned. One minute later the Kow- loon ambulance was despatched to No. 10 Jordan Road.

Witness, in reply to Chief Inspec- tor Kent, said that he was not told that the case was an urgent one.

Mr. P. J. Condon, assistant at the Central Fire Station, produced the log book in which was recorded the movements of the ambulance from the time of the call from the Kow- loon Fire Station. Witness said that at 7.12 p.m. a message was received from Kowloon requiring the motor ambulance to be at the Star Ferry Wharf as soon as it had returned, it having left at 6 pm and rone to Mount Austin Barracks to convey a patient to the Govern- ment Civil Hospital.

Answering a further question as to whether he agreed with the driver when he said that the two vehicles were 80 yards away when he came in contact with the bus, Mr. Barrett said that the bus was about 100 yards away at the time.

Error of Judgment.

The Coroner: To what then de. you attribute the accident?-It is beyond me, how the aetident hap- pened.

I thought I was clear of the bus before it went to the left of the road. I did not swerve at all. I just went straight on.
