1042 THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 7TH OCTOBER, 1893.
We also beg to request that the Committee will move the Government to give instructions that weather reports are to be issued by the Observatory and made available in accordance with these suggestions, which appear to us to be both useful and practicable. They, no doubt, require to be amplified and the exact nature of the information to be given, also the conditions under which, and the place where copies of the notices may be obtained on application, should receive mature consideration. For this purpose we suggest that a competent nautical committee should be associated with Dr. DOBERCK to discuss these details, and that this Committee should consist of—
An Officer to be nominated by the Senior Naval Officer.
Captain A. TILLETT, Marine Superintendent of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company.
Captain F. D. GODDARD, Commanding Douglas Steam-ship Company S.S. Haitan.
The Commander of any steamer of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company which may be in port at the time the Committee is sitting, and any others whom they may desire to add to their number.
We are, Sir,
Your obedient Servants,
