The accused LUK CHUNG KIT was out of work when the war broke out. About May 1942, he got to know LUI KA YAN, and when the latter went to WAICHOW to make contact with the British organization there at the end of March 1943, the accused accompanied him. LUI KA YAN later asked him to pass newspaper reports, etc. to the British organisation in WAICHOW and to receive funds for their work. He agreed to do this and secretly left the area in a fishing boat from SHATIN to carry out this mission.
