without reference to you and that interment of these
Salt Gebelle vessels under conditions which would
render them unserviceable and beyond reach of either
side would appear to me to be in logical accord with
His Majesty's Government's policy of neutrality
towards contending factions in Chins.
Sir E. Wilton is temporarily absent and precise
circumstances in which vessel reached Hong Kong are
not known here but I am sure that he would deeply
appreciate any assistence His Majesty's Government
could give him in protecting these revenue launches
and the incidentally helping him in his difficult
task of maintaining prestige and authority of foreign
control in Salt Gabelic.
