same, for the purpose of keeping up communication with Tuchow, and supplying them with food and necessities.

In view of the undesirability of evacuating Wuchow until absolutely essential, of the valuable British property at Wuchow, and of the necessity of supplying H.M.S."Moorhan" Armed Launches, and the foreign

communities at Konkman and Shanshui with food I considered

it necessary to commission H.M.S. "Tung Kwong" as reported in my submission Mo.294/053/35, dated 2nd August 1925, for this service, as no other craft was suitable or

available.

I directed H.H. S. "Moorhen" to proceed to tuchow

and to report as to the necessity of evacuation if supplies

continued to be sent to Wuchow, and meanwhile despatched

H.M.S. "Tung Kwong" to Wuchow with coal and supplies.

On 27th July "Moorhen" reported that the

situation at Wuchowwas easier and that the boycott was merely

anti-British and Japanese. The British Consulate had been

broke into but the Consular office was untouched and that

General Wong had arrested five men and placed a guard

over the Consulate. This matter is being further enquired

into by "Moorhen" and a report forwarded to H. B. M. Consul

General at Canton,

On 1st August "Moorhen" reported further that it was unnecessary to evacuate Wuchow at present and that "Tung Kwong" was being sent Back for further supplies.

The general situation at Wuchow is peaceful and there would appear to be no untoward insidents to report. The anti-British bogbott is very intense and it is most noticeable that Americans are allowed to purchase and use anything they like without restriction.
