Mirs Bay;

Secretary of State for the Colonies, that although no assurance has been given on this point, they assume that no

part of the area in question will be alienated by the

Colonial Government without first consulting the Admiralty.

course will be adopted.

The

Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

1.P.-No,&

Your obedient Servant,
