scheme was about to be promulgated. I understand that some scheme has in fact been approved, but I have not yet seen it.

I beg to ask whether Hong Kong officers are entitled to passages under the new scheme. If we are entitled, I beg that I may be granted £145, the cost of a passage by the Delta.

Mr. Dunbar, the Director of the Shipping Dept., tells me in a telegram that £145 is the cost of the passage. It is very high, but I have tried to get a passage via Trieste, and even via Rotterdam and Batavia, without any success, and it is impossible to get a passage at a cheaper rate.

I should be very grateful if I might be given an early reply as to whether we are or are not entitled to any free passages. When I left Hong Kong, I was given a free passage by the Empress via Canada on the understanding that I should refund the money if it were decided that passages should not be allowed.

I have the honour to be,

Your obedient servant,
