Sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 268 of 8th September and in accordance with your instructions I transmit a report by the Harbour Master on the circumstances which led to the discharge of the firemen of the Steamer "Auchenardin" in consequence of his declining to convict them of refusal of duty for not proceeding on the vessel when they learnt that it was to carry contraband of war to Japan.

2. The facts of the case are very similar to those connected with the crew of the S.S. "Inkum".

I have the honour to be,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

ALFRED LYTTELTON, K.C.,

M.P..

Sir,

Your most obedient

Humble servant,
