Piracy Prevention. China Coast.
We have the honour to enclose copy of letter of introduction
of the 4th February handed by the Hongkong Government to Mr. R.
Sutherland which is self-explanatory, and a further communication
of 28th January from Commodore R. Hill R.N. Chairman of the Anti
Piracy Committee functioning at Hongkong.
Since his arrival in England Mr. Sutherland has been able to
perfect his device and is now anxious to have an opportunity of
showing it to the proper Authorities. With this object in view
we write to enquire when you will be good enough to grant him an
interview.
Mr. Sutherland has for some years been in close touch with the
position of affairs in connection with Piracy in Chinese Waters,
and is thoroughly familiar with the problem involved.
We are, Sir,
Your obedient servants,
Under Secretary of State for the Colonies,
MATHESON & CO. LIMITED.
Director.
