Ca tain Jolly, Harbour Master, Hong Kong, canc to suo me yesterday. Among other things, he said that he would be ready t› return to long Long about the first week in day, but that he was particularly anxious, for uraonal r、asons which he explainexi to me, to truvul by aum wid not by mir. I think that he had already given us mid-way as the date on which he wuld be „rupared to leave this country, wid the only new oint is that he is apvelully anxious to go by sud. This should be specially noted by thous who will be concerned with booking Catain Jolly's 488age.
On the subject of the vacancy for Deuty Harbour Mastur, Catain Jolly left with me the attached conditions of service which he was given when he was appointed as voruty larbour Master in 1945. He has nɔtul in puncil some additional qualifications which he considers to be nuocedury and also the nudes of three officura in the Digerian string whom he suggvete shɔuld be considered for this vacancy. I don't what action, if any, is being taken about filling the vacuncy for Jojuty arbour Baater, or whether action is in abeyance punding a final decision on the ort Trust. But I think that this will have to be mine into fairly soon. Go, tain Jɔlly suggested that ir the ort Crust auru sat u.. the larbour Custer would goau under the trust, but that there was a case for setting up a Director of urine tɔ ourry out and c>- ordinate many of the existing duties of the Harbour saster which would nɔt be undertaken by the person holding that frice under the new set-up In that ovent, and mauuming that he were made Director of
arine, he would require a Jeputy, but the post in his existing catablishment of Harbour Buster could, ɔf course, bu abolished. Incidentally, he asked me whether there was any possibility of his not going bac... to long song. I told him that, ao far us I aware, he would be returning tɔ long : ong. If tat is not right, i think that we ought to let Captain Jolly
# as soon as possible.
erha, s you would be good enough to arrange for extracts from this minute to be registered on the relevant files and the matters further considered.
