The Howloon Peninsula to be evacuated and the Fort at Kowloon Point dismantled so as to render it untenable.

2. Any attempt on the part of the Chinese Authorities to re-occupy or build either of the Forts, to be at once repelled by Force.

If the Senior Officer of Her Majesty's Naval Service can spare a ship of War to carry out Captain Gough's plan of sending Troops to Tytan Bay (or a Transport sufficiently well armed can be procured for that Service) I have not the slightest objection to offer.

I think it desirable both by way of acclimatizing the men, and also to afford confidence and protection to the detachment, that an European Force should mount guard on shore.
