Sir,
GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 2nd. October, 1918.
admy 30612.
I have the honour to acknowledge the
receipt of your Confidential Despatch of the 5th. July regard- -ing difficulties that were apparently experienced by the
Commodore, Hongkong, in communicating with this Government on
Sundays and holidays.
2.
There appears to be no ground for com- -plaint. I attach copies of the only correspondence cognate to the subject, together with a copy of a letter received from
Commodore Gurner. Commodore Sandeman's letter of the 30th.
November, 1917, to which Commodore Gurner refers, related to
certain delay in the work of an official member of the
Shipping Control Committee, alleged to have been occasioned through the exigencies of a general holiday.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
Edustevem
Officer Administering the Government.
