the authority of a telegram from the Secretary of State for the

Colonies, dated 15th November 1902 altered to read: "The

purchaser to begin the dock at once and complete it within 3

years from the date of sele of the land."

Condition II. "His Majesty's ships to have prior

right of entrance to the Dock over all other vessels. This right being exercised only under the following circumstances: (a) in time of War: (b) when War is considered to be threatening: (c)

when the Senior Naval Officer at Hongkong considers that the

safety of one of His Majesty's ships would be endangered if she

were not locked without delay."

This condition was accepted by the Dock Company in the

Chief Manager's letters of the 11th and 23th June 1901.

Condition III. "The Dock gate to ce properly defended

from Torpelo attack in a manner to oe approved by the Commander-

inspection once a year in such a manner as the Commander-in-

Chief may decide." On the 26th June the Chief Manager wrote

essential that Condition ? should be insisted on: it ought not

Company replied:- "With regard to condition ? we should prefer

not to give an answer until we hear from you as to the remaining

points in dispute namely, coniitions 5 and 7 and can then judge
