Death this morning of Hong Kong tramways engineer George Sinclair Rodger(s). He'd been held in the New Asia Hotel before being sent to Stanley.
It seems that there rumours about his death will soon begin to circulate; on December 26 a notice will be issued by John Stericker saying that an enquiry has completely vindicated Tweed Bay Hospital. The enquiry was carried out by Edward Raymond, John Fleming and J. D. Danby. They find that he died of acute Nephritis with beri beri and myocarditis as secondary causes.
