Police have intelligence, believed to be
reliable that Anking pirates are located in the Tuni
Ang groups of Islands in the S.W. corner of Bias Bay.
It is understood privately that Chinese troops will short-
ly make a sweep of the Islands, but it is anticipated that
the pirates may escape in junks. It is recommended and
request authority to offer available naval co-operation,
action being limited to preventing the pirates escaping
by sea. "Foxglove" and "Thracian", forces to be used.
