With reference to your letter

No. 92672/32 of the 13th October regarding the

selection of an Engineer Ship Surveyor for service

in the Marine Department, Hong Kong, we have to-day

interviewed Mr. J.G. Charlton, a candidate nominated

by the Board of Trade, and offered him the appointment,

subject to medical examination.

He is considering the offer and has

promised to acquaint us of his decision by Friday

morning. If he accepts, arrangements will be made for

his medical examination, and it is hoped to arrange for

him to sail from London on the 11th November.

The apparent delay in filling the

appointment is due to the withdrawal on the 22nd August

of a candidate previously selected.
