shipped by our order before the outbreak of War, by the above
German steamer to our branch at Hong Kong, viz:-
Marke

co.
Goods
1 Case of earthenware match
stends.
The steamer took refuge in the port of Syracuse and
we have handed Bills of Lading to Nippon Yusen Kaisha, in order
that they may obtain delivery of the goode from the steamer and
arrange for their re-shipment Hong Kong.
As we understand that it is necessary to prove owner-
@hip of goods ex Enemy Steamers before delivery of same can be
obtained in a British port, we desire to submit documents to
you which will satisfy you that we are bona-fide owners of the
goods and, as such, entitled to have them delivered to our order
in the port of Hong Kong.
