"Your telegram 21st. December on subject of shipping control,
particulars asked for being sent by mail.

I enclose a copy of a letter addressed to
the Deputy Controller of Shipping on the 27th. September last, together with copies of the two telegrams to which reference is made. It had been taken for granted that Colonel Thomson would,
in the ordinary course, have referred this matter to Họngkong,
but it would seem that he adopted the alternative course of
addressing the Controller of Shipping in London, through whom, it
is concluded, the matter came to the notice of the Secretary of
State for the Colonies.

The Officer Administering the Government
