Sir,

I have the honor to inform you that the

S.S. 'Seine' with the Labuan-Hongkong Cable on board

left the Thames this morning for Labuan, where she is

expected to arrive about the end of next month. She

will then at once proceed to lay the Cable to Hongkong

which will in all probability be completed and opened

for Traffic during the month of May.

I have the honor to be,

sir,

Sir Robert Meade, K.C.B.

Your obedient servant,

Born Vander

Chairman.
