ANTI-PIRACY.
During the early part of the year a scheme was formulated whereby the Military who were then acting as Piracy Guards on ships could be replaced by Guards supplied by the Police Department.
For this work Russians, Northern Chinese and Indians were specially recruited. These men after a short course of training were posted to various vessels owned by Shipping Companies taking part in the scheme i.e. Canadian Pacific, Butterfield & Swire, Jardine Matheson and the British India Co. The scheme started during the month of July and was in full working order by October.
REMOVAL OF OFFICE.
