Sir,

On the 27th July we received letter 26th July with reference number 26083/1904, replying to ours of 23rd of that month complaining of the detention of the s.s."Mascotte" by the Authorities at Hong Kong, and that you had given instructions for the release of the said vessel by telegram.

We now learn by letter from Hong Kong the vessel was detained by orders of the Home Government and that the vessel was in charge of the Hong Kong Police for 4 days.

We therefore enclose herewith our claim for damages by such detention, and ask to have the amount due say £205. 13/- as per account, be paid.

And remain Your obedient servant
