Telegram. Sir J. Wattson. Secretary. Fr 16 Dec 86.
#72. Your telegram N. 61. I have steadily remonstrated in writing & orally. Final capture forcibly effected, but there are grave suspicions that unfair means were employed to kidnap the mare while within territorial waters. Further evidence on this point is being got from Hongkong. Chinese Govt have ordered investigation.
For information.
