Arthur Rylands Lowe became Hong Kong's first full-time professional accountant in June 1902. He also set up an office in Shanghai in 1906 with J.E. Bingham as partner. When F.N. Matthews joined the partnership, the firm became known as Lowe, Bingham & Matthews "LBM" for short. It was the antecedent of PriceWaterhouseCoopers.

This is the 4th Submarine Flotilla rowing four in action referred to in moddsey's earlier post. They came third in a race of four teams for the 4th Submarine Flotilla Cup won by the Jardine Matheson team over a distance of one mile. The regatta, held by the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club at North Point, was reported in the Hong Kong Sunday Herald of 24 March, 1929.

The photo comes from the 1928-1929 album of William Richmond Fell, who coxed the four.
