Referring to your letter dated 2nd Ultimo, requesting

this Board to recommend suitable men from this Service for

appointment as Light Keepers to the new Light House on

Waglan Island, Hong Kong, I am now directed to acquaint

you that, subject to their passing the necessary medical

examination, the Board have selected the men named at foot

bereof, for the appointments in question.

I an accordingly to request that you will inform ne

of the date at which it is desired that they should present

themselves at the Colonial Office for approval, in order

that arrangements may be made for sending other Keepers to

relieve them at the Stations where they are at present

serving.

I am also to state that in view of the exigencies of

this Service, and to lessen the inconvenience which will

be caused by the sudden removal of three trained Keepers,

The Under Secretary of State,

the

Colonial Office,

S. W.
