Sat, 17 Oct 1942

Two bankers, T. J. J. Fenwick and J. A. D. Morrison, make their first contacts with British Army Aid Group agent Lo Hung Sui ('No. 64') at the Sun Wah Hotel where the HKSBC staff are living. They meet again a few hours later at a restaurant in Des Voeux Road. Today has been chosen because it is a Japanese holiday. Tomorrow they will begin their escape.
