§ IV. Naval Correspondence.
208. Governors of Colonies should communi- cate with Officers of His Majesty's Navy, and should convey notices of different kinds to Commanders of Foreign Vessels in Colonial waters, in the following mode :-
209. The Governor will write in his own name to any Senior Naval Officer (that is to say, the Senior Officer then within his immediate reach), holding the rank of Flag Officer, Captain, or Commander, but will communicate with any Senior Officer of lower rank through his Private Secretary. In no case will he com- municate through the Colonial Secretary, whose functions are of a different character, and whose office should not be the place of deposit for communications between the Governor and Officers in Command of His Majesty's Naval forces.
210. Any notice or direction, conveyed by the Governor's authority to the Commander of any Foreign Vessel, should be conveyed through the Officers of the Colonial Government, and not through the Officers of His Majesty's Navy, whose intervention should not be applied for, unless the lirections conveyed through the ordinary channel should fail to produce their effect.
