Anti-Piracy Guards.
Now that Military Guards have been withdrawn,
consequent upon the inauguration of Native Guards under
the control of the Hongkong rolice, we desire to place on
record our grateful thanks to the Naval and Military
Authorities for their valuable assistance during the past
two years but for which our passenger business could only
have been conducted at considerable risk to our personnel
afloat and anxiety to ourselves.
We shall be glad if you will kindly convey our
thanks to all concerned, particularly to the Military
Authorities on whom fell the greater part of the work in
providing Guards.
We are, Sir,
Your obedient servants.
Sd. Jardine, Matheson & Co., Ltd.,
