Well HMS Moorhen and HMS Tarantula were both there in Jan'24 as there logs attest too, though nothing is listed beyond then.

Thanks Andy: I have also enjoyed the logs. Somebody needs to write a book on China Station. The one published by Casemate is very unsatisfactory to me. Thanks again Andy.

While obviously not directly about the events at Canton in 1924, there is a lovely little book that might interest you:

Thank you Leo Niehorster. I have long admired your contributions. I read the Haines book years ago and another regarding the Royal Navy during the Sino-Japanese War 1937. (Price/Bryce)? Perhaps it is time revisit them with a better grasp of the context and time. Again thank you for taking the time to be of assistance to me.

Hi,
Thanks.
You probably mean Martin H. Brice's about the RN and the Sino-Jap. "incident", mind you, that covers an era somewhat later than the era you are looking at presently.
