My telegram No. 87.
I regret to report no progress.
I could not establish
contact yesterday. Today I am informed that investigations
are incomplete and no answer can be given yet
2. I suggest representations at Nanking.
3. I shall continue to press matter of release but
authorities military and civil are becoming more and more
difficult of approach in this question in which they
consider our pressure unreasonable.
Addressed to Peking No. 83 October 4th, repeated to
Nanking No. 79, Commander in Chief No. 29, Governor Hongkong
No. 36, Commodore Hongkong No. 31, Foreign Office No. 23.
