27th. August, respecting the appointment of an Assistant

Station Officerin Hong Kong Fire Brigade, I have the honour

to inform you that we have secured a suitable candidate,

Brigade. We have arranged for him to undergo a short course

of instruction in Steam Fire Engines of about a week's

duration before he sails and, as he must relinquish his present

appointment in the London Fire Brigade for this purpose, we

shall be glad to have the Secretary of State's authority to

pay him half salary from the date of commencement of the

course until the date of sailing, to enable him to provide

for the support of his family during that period.

I have the honour to be.
