	Hong Kong Police
	When the Union Flag was raised over Possession Point on 26 January 1841, the population of Hong Kong Island was about 6,000, mostly Tanka fishermen and Hakka charcoal burners scattered in a few poor villages around the coast. Within a few months, the population soared. Into Hong Kong's fast-rising godowns and spreading quays poured many merchants eager to do business in the new markett that had so suddenly sprung up across the Pearl River from the familiar settlement of Macau. Ships carrying many flags anchored in the harbour. Trade boomed, and with it the infant town. It was not long before grog shops, gambling dens, opium parlours and houses of ill repute sprang up. So began the origins of the Hong Police. Dusty was probably in Hong Kong at this time !
