Enclosure No. 5.

Telegram from His Britannic Majesty's Acting Consul General,
CANTON.
To
His Majesty's Minister, Peking.
No. 94. of 3rd October 1928.
Your telegram No. 141.
On receipt of news from Hongkong
I made immediate personal representations to Commissioner for Foreign Affairs and Canton Naval Authorities, who made usual promises to despatch warships and troops.
I had previously on September 22nd communicated an urgent warning to Canton Government from Hongkong Police that a piracy was being planned and that ship would be taken to this actual spot. The Military Headquarters promised to take all precautions but
apparently did nothing.
