H. C. Woo, the superintendent of blocks 2 ,3, 4 and 5, posts a notice saying it's essential that he be informed if any resident of these blocks is 'called to Hong Kong'.

The Harbourmaster Commander Jolly and A. K. Dimond, manager of the Hong Kong Hotel, enter Stanley.

It seems that there's still a fair bit of movement between the camp and the outside world.
