135 Quickly giving chase, we came up with him, running as fast as his heavy weight permitted. After a severe struggle, in which he showed to the full his immense strength, he was secured, put into a carriage, and taken down to the jetty. We had to engage a small cargo boat to take him to his steamer, which was lying out in mid-stream, for a sampan would not have held us all, so after getting him in, we started, Mr. L., evidently in a savage moody humour, muttering and swearing to him- self the ...whole time. There was a vindictive look in his face and eyes, that caused us all to watch him closely. When about half way across he suddenly leapt upon me and tried to throw tne overboard, but the police were instantly down upon him, and, after another struggle, in which I feared the boat would have been overturned, he was again secured. Foiled in his attempt, he became sullen, but we got him on board and handed him over to the Captain, to whom he began most vehemently to complain that he had been most shamefully treated by me.
