a Hong Kong Rohberv.
ZION Chambers' Jolrnal


An extraordinary and daring robbery
was that which took place at the Central
Bank of Western India, Hong Kong. in
1868, when the thieves succeeded in get
ting clear off with gold and specie TO the
extent of nearly $4,000 The robbers
must have been at work for some weeks
before they entered the banks treasury.
Their principal labor was in constructing
a tunnel Of sixty feet from an adjacent
drain to a spot exactly below the floor of
the banks treasure vault.
A perpendicular shaft Of ten feet of
sufficient diameter was then made to
permit Of the passage of one man
to reach the granite boulders on
which the floor of the vault rested.
These gave way through being I'm.
dermined; and dag being forced up, en-
trance to the vault was at once obtained
Two boxes were removed containing gold
oars or ingots marked with the bank
stamp, as well as all the paper money,
some bags Of dollars, and box of l0-cent
pieces. No fewer than between twenty
and thirty men were arrested on suspic-
ion. One of them had $1,000 in his pos
session and two bars of gold bearing the
bank mark.
The robbery was effected between a
Saturday and Sunday; and the first
thing that reused suspicion was the fact
of a little boy trying to sell a bar Of gold
to hawker in one OF the bazaars in
Hong Kong. A gentleman who was pass
lug asked where he got the gold, and the
boy replied that it had been found at a
certain place. He gave the youth what
he asked for it. namely, Sl-and then in.
