With reference to the letter

from this Tept. of the 18 Dec. 1919,

concerning the employment of aliens

as pilots at H. Kong, I am&cto inform

you that a tespatch has now been

received from the Gov. of H. Kong on

the subject.

2. Sir F., Stubbs states that, in

the opinion of the Harbour Master of

H.Kong, pilotage is not necessary in

the Colony. Any Master Mariner,

provided with the cl

charts and sailing directions, (as he should be), ought to be able to bring his ship into

WELCOME

the harbour, and talte her out again, without the aid or ja pilot, everif

he has never visited the Colony

before. Further, the existing Chinese

pilot do not take charge as pilots,

but merely assist the Master with

local information, such as what

buoys are available, and, if he is a stranger, in what part of the har-

bour it is best for the ship, with

her particular cargo, to lie, &c;

but of pilotage, strictly speaking,

little or nothing is done; and, as

was pointed out by the H.Kong

Chamber of Commerce years ago, none

is wanted in the vast majority of

cases.
