Addressed to Canton No. 141.

Hongkong telegram to Secretary of State for the

Colonies of September 30th.

In view of supposition that pirates embarked at

Singapore we must move a little carefully. But if

you have not already taken action you should, while

reserving liberty to make further representations

when facts are fully known, at once call attention

of Canton authorities to this diabolical outrage

and urge them to take immediate steps to trace and

root out pirates at Hongho1.

Repeated to Foreign Office, Hongkong and

Commander-in-Chief.
