asked him where the gin was, and
he said he did not think it good
thing for the natives to have any.
Some of them he said had been too
boozy at the first meeting. / asked
Ho Fon for some change TO pay for

ing in rice bird guns and for fetch
ing the gin. got the rice bird
guns from Chinese business houses.
