Sir,
I have the honour to enclose copies of the proceed- ings at a Court of Enquiry held on the 13th August, and at an
Inquest held on the 17th August into the circumstances attending
the death of a Japanese named Kamekawa Seicho.

While it is regretted that there should have been
loss of life I am satisfied that the officers in charge of the
batteries were only carrying out their duty in firing on the
S.S."Shikoku Maru". They had no other course left open to them.
I enclose copies of letters addressed to the Consul-General for
Japan by the General Officer Commanding and the Colonial Secretary
and of the replies thereto.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
Armag
Governor, &c.
