Your telegram No. 125 Purser of Chitral was given
Hughes £15 on arrival
£16 with instructions to pay escort
and on certificate of ship's surgeon. If such certificate har
issued flughes may be paid £15 by the Crown Agents from Hong Kong
funds.
Temporary maintenance at Seamen's Hospital should be
met from £16 which as stated above is not Reynolds property
if this is feasible. Otherwise Hong Kong funde may be used.
No other relative known to this Government and I agree that
public assistance authorities should be approached. This
Government has no responsibility for Reynolds and has spent
much on his repatriation.
