Sir,
I have the honour to refer to my secret
(2) despatch of the 1st of June, 1938, on the
subject of a Japanese attack alleged to have taken
place in British territorial waters on the 17th of May, 1938.
The signatory of the fourth enclosure to that despatch has now made a supplementary statement, of which I enclose a copy, in order
to clear up any possible misunderstanding of his
original words.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
C. av.
Governor.
