I went down from the ship with my family and in a few moments a Custom's Officer came up and said "Come up here into the ship again." Why? I said. "Come on' I'll let you know' bring your wife and family. Your family must pay "Poll tax." Why' my wife is a British subject and of course my children too. "How can you show that?" I have a paper in my box' which is sealed to show it. "What box' come on now." He cut the cord' and I soon showed my certificate of Registration. "It's no use sir. Your wife is of Chinese extraction and you must pay up etc. Still' I'll take this paper and show it to my Superior and will soon let you know." I waited and waited but the man did not come. A Mr. Kerr of the C. P. R. came fortunately and I went with him to the Customs Collector. There' behold was read to me the Law' that my wife being a British subject had a Perfect right to come ashore free. The agent was thus exposed as being wrong.
