Your telegram 4th August, the Canton Government claim ship as their property and demand its surrender hinting openly at forcible

seizure if request refused. In order to prevent such an incident, consequences of which must be very serious, I should consider

myself justified in handing over the ship to them. Should be

glad if you would inform Gabelle that it must be removed,

STUBBS.
