My telegram No. 124 to the Foreign Office.
Local press have published photograph of the crew of the Haida which is described as a Chinese freighter engaged in carrying war supplies to China and His Majesty's Consul, Seattle, informs me that the vessel is proceeding to Hongkong,
I should be glad for any information you may have regarding the vessels movements as it is rumoured here that it has already been
stopped by the Japanese.
