Mr.Mayall's state- ment of damage,

14/3/38

Foreign Office despatch No.66 of 19/4/38

Sir,

With reference to my despatch No.66 of

February 25th regarding damage suffered by

British subjects through the bombing of the

U.S.S. "Panay", I have the honour to transmit

herewith a statement of damage in quintuplicate

filed by Mr. E. Mayell in Singapore, and forwarded

to me by the Foreign Office in despatch No.66

of April 19th, a copy of which is enclosed.

2. Mr. Mayell declares that all his

personal effects on the U.S.S. "Panay" were

lost when the ship sank. The loss he has suffered amounts to U.S.$900.73, equivalent at

$4.94 to £182.6.9 sterling.

3. Since this case has already been

considerably delayed it is being sent separately

in the hope that it may yet be in time to be

considered in conjunction with the other state-

ments of damage suffered through the bombing of

the "Panay".

His Majesty's Ambassador,

British Embassy

SHANGHAI.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your Excellency's most

obedient, humble servant,

(Sa) Herbert Phillips

Consul-General.
