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 ....
search on e3bay for Majeeth in stamps only comes up with this image.

that looks like it - the DI on the right matches as does the rest - thanks for all the help......
Can you help me identify this cancellation on this Hong Kong 1884 10c Green wmk Crown CA Yang 36
It looks like a squared circle cancel with the same? cancel twice on the stamp
MA....on the left side and DI maybe on the right from the top part
the bottom on has the other part UEETH or JEETH with perhaps M next -
any ideas as to the location would be gratefully received...
