Your 1410/2 addressed D. N. I.

Admiralty has

reliable information from a secret source which must not

be compromised that MARION MULLER has onboard

(૧) 100 cases rifles (25 tons).

(76) 50 cases machine guns (12 tons).

(c) 16 cases dismantled aeroplanes (15 tons).

(a)

300 dismantled wagons.

(a) and (b) consigned to Macao (c) and (a) to Hong Kong.

The bulk of the cargo consists of railway

material, and the dissimulation of Mr. Moller at Shanghai

may be due to the terms of the charter.
