I am the Hong Kong Study Circle's Librarian and looking through all our resources I have not found anything relevant -it is not a China or Japanese treaty port cancel - probably some arrival marking but where???

Is it possible that the stamp was not cancelled in Hong Kong but had pen lines drawn over before being franked by the receiving postal authority in India as John suggests.

yes,it was probably posted on board a ship or put on board prior to departure

I've put Majeeth into Google and it comes up as a type of root used to create red dye ....
