In this connection I am to point out that the Company consider the site recently held by the Admiralty at Kowloon as an additional coaling depot shown in dotted red
The Commander in
line on attached plan would be suitable. Chief of the China Squadron was requested by telegram on the 15th instant to terminate Admiralty tenancy of this land by giving the requisite one month's notice to the Colonial
