GENTLEMEN,

Downing Street, 10th February, 1915.

I BEG to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 4th of February relative

to the insurance of enemy detained ships lying at oversea ports.

Raben- I note what you state as regards the insurance of the "Barenfels,"

My Committee fels," Lauterfels," and "Werdenfels," lying at Alexandria. concur that the insurance of these ships is to be taken as having commenced at noon on the 27th of January, 1915.

As regards the insurance of other ships, my Committee consider that only those ships whose names are communicated to you by me should be taken to be insured under the scheme. When the name of any ship to be insured is communi- cated to you, the date from which the insurance is to take effect will be the date on which the order for detention has been made by the Prize Court, provided such order is made subsequently to the 29th of January.

I enclose a list* of the ships,which my Committee consider should come under the scheme. The list of ships in New South Wales, Canada, and South Africa must be taken as a provisional one. It is possible that the list may have to be revised when replies are received from the Governments of these Dominions.

The insurance will take effect in the case of all these ships, except in the case In the case of the of the "Marquis Bacquehem," from the 29th of January. ship named the insurance will date from the 3rd of February, the date of the order for detention by the Prize Court.

I shall await the formal cover to which you refer in your letter. I presume that it will contain the provision to which you refer in your letter of the 1st February, that, in the event of any other insurance having been placed by Dominion Governments, your cover will be cancelled in respect of those boats which are already insured.

I am, &c.,

R. A. WISEMAN.

MESSRS. GLANVILL, ENTHOVEN AND COMPANY, to OVERSEA PRIZE DISPOSAL COMMITTEE.

DEAR SIR,

17, Gracechurch Street, London, E.C., 4th February, 1915. In regard to the insurance of hulls under the control of the Oversea Prize Disposal Committee, we understand that the risk is to commence from the time of the issuing of an order by the Prize Court that the vessel shall be detained during the continuation of the war, or until further notice.

[

It is agreed that, in the case of the four vessels mentioned in our letter of the

Barenfels," Rappenfels," 28th ultimo, viz., steamships

"Lauterfels," and We "Werdenfels," the risk shall commence at noon on the 27th January, 1915. presume you will receive cable advice of any further vessels ordered by the Prize Court to be detained as indicated above.

If you will kindly confirm this arrangement we will send you a formal cover, so that you may be automatically insured from the time of the order of the Prize Courts at the various overseas-ports.

We are, &c.,

GLANVILL, ENTHOVEN AND COMPANY.

MESSRS. GLANVILL, ENTHOVEN AND COMPANY to OVERSEA PRIZE DISPOSAL COMMITTEE.

DEAR SIR,

1 REFERRING to your letter of the 10th instant, relative to the insurance of enemy detained ships lying at oversea ports, we beg to advise that we have arranged with the Commercial Union Company (the leading company on your cover) that all insurances are to take effect from the date on which the order for detention has been made by the Prize Courts at the various oversea parts.

17, Gracechurch Street, London, E.C., 12th February, 1915.

We thank you for the list of ships which are to come under the scheme now, and note that those in New South Wales, Canada, and South Africa must be taken as provisional. We also note that the date of commencement for the "Marquis Bacquehem" is to be the 3rd February, this being the date on which the order for detention was made by the Prize Court.

We enclose formal cover note herewith.

Rabenfels"

In reference to the postscript to your letter, we note that the 8.8. is the vessel which we are to insure. The mistake was made owing to Messrs. Grahams & Company having put in their list the "Rappenfels," and we accordingly sent that steamer's name to Messrs. Lachlan & Company.

We are, &c.,

GLANVILL, ENTHOVEN AND COMPANY.
