The General Officer Commanding has
informed me that the conduct of the Russian sailors
throughout the period of their internment has been good.
At one time the Russian Consul feared trouble between the
men and their Officers but after making enquiries I came
to the conclusion that it was not necessary to take any
special measures in the matter. The few cases in which the
Officers made complaints of their treatment were duly re-
-ported to you as they occurred.
