A SENSATIONAL RAID BY POLICE OFFICERS UPON THE INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERS AND SHIPBUILDERS' PREMISES ON THE WATERFRONT ON FRIDAY MORNING CULMINATED IN THE SEIZURE OF A JAPANESE WHO WAS CAUGHT IN THE ACT OF TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS OF HONGKONG HARBOUR.

This startling incident has been brought to light as a result of "Telegraph" inquiries. Reticence is being main- tained by the local Police authorities regarding the affair.

The incident occurred at. 10 a.m. on Friday morning. The Japanese, who is stated to be a visitor to Hong- kong, walked into the Institute premises, which command a fine unobstructed view of the harbour, including the naval dockyards, and commenced taking photographs.

When he arrived the Institute was descried except for Chinese employees.

Shortly afterwards, however, one of the members, Mr. A. Harper, entered the rooms, and saw the Japanese on the verandah.

Mr. Harper immediately telephoned Police Hendquarters, and a squad of police quickly-urrived on the scene.
