not look upon it as an advantage to have a small force of mounted

men available as orderly officers and to keep watch over and con-

munication with parts of the Island or New Territory beyond the

Federal line of defence but with road connection to that line.

Such a troop which I am told night consist of some 25 nerbers

would if raised be under the Volunteer Ordinance. It might be cai-

led "The hongkong Volunteer troop" and would from its nature be a

corps d'elite. It would not be necessary for its members to be

instructed in any but the simplest drill moverents and they would

best learn their duties by riding about the island and getting to

know all its practicable paths and topographical detalls. A musket-

ry course would however be necessary.

I should like your opinion as to the advisabı-

inty of attempting to raise such a troop. If it is formed it would

no doubt somewhat lessen the numbers of the Volunteer Reserve

Association if established in accordance with paragraph 4 of this

ietter.
