An armed robbery was committed on board a passenger sampan In the harbour, just off the Harbour Office, last night, when four men under the pretext of hiring the craft to go to a steamer held up the master and crow and robbed them of money and jewellery.

From the first report of the oc- currence it would appear that the men engaged the sampan with "the alleged intention of boarding a

steamer in

the harbour. When they had gone a short distance they produced iron bars with which they threatened the master and his small crew. The men robbed the sampani people. of jewellery and money, but before they were, able to reguín the praya wall the master blew a police whistle, causing the robbers to take flight by, jumping into the harbour.

The alarm having been raised, all the junks and sampana in the anchorage were on the look-out, and the men were rescued from the water only to be secured until the arrival of the Police who were sum. moned to the spot.

The men were handed over to the Police, and after favestigations have been completed will make their appearance before the Kowloon Magistrate.
