CO129-508-4 Cases of attacks by pirates 6-11-1927 - 23-11-1928 — Page 254

Para.7 Grilles may be a deterrent to piracy, but are

an obstacle and might possibly be a menace to the saving of

life in the case of an accident at sea, and would not

prevent the pirates from setting fire to the ship outside

the grilled area, as witness the case of the "Sunning".

I do not think that there is anything further that I

can usefully add to the foregoing.

Yours sincerely,

(Signed) N. Brown.
