REC

REG 15 OCT 14

Ca. With reference to your letter of the 27th June, No 22452 and previous correspondence, I am commanded by

My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to state that they

are sending Mr Herbert Henské, a Warrant Telegraphist Royal

Naval Reserve, (for temporary service) to Hong Kong, and

are instructing the Naval Authorities there to employ hin

for any service which may be required in connection with

the erection of the Wireless Telegraph Station at Cape

d'Aguilar

2.

Mr Henské has an expert knowledge of wireless

telegraphy and is a man of good education and ability for

whose services there is not sufficient opening in the ord-

inary appointments in the Royal Navy, but as he volunteered

for service on the outbreak of war My Lords have felt luc-

tant to discharge him and they think that he may prove of

considerable value both to the Naval and Colonial Authori-

ties in connection with the erection of this Station.

3.

As the Station would not in the ordinary course

have any Naval personel until its completion My Lords will

the be glad if instructions may be given to Colonial Authorities

to place themselves in communication with the Commodore,

Hong Kong, as to the employment of Mr Henské to the best

advantage.

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Whakam free
