MERCER, Colonial Secretary.\n\nDOWNING STREET, 20th June, 1864.\nSIR,-I transmit to you, herewith, a copy of a letter from the Secretary to the Royal National Life Boat Institution, with copies of new Instructions which have been issued by that Institution, for the Restoration of Persons Apparently Drowned.\n\nI have been informed by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that the Medical Director-General of the Navy has given it as his opinion that the Instructions in question are valuable, and that they have been circulated in the Royal Navy; I have therefore no hesitation in giving to these Instructions the circulation desired by the Committee of the Institution.-I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble Servant,\n\n**EDWARD CARDWELL.**\n\nGovernor SIR H. ROBINSON,\n&c. &c. &c.\n\n(Copy.)\n\nMr. Lewis to the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nROYAL NATIONAL LIFE BOAT INSTITUTION, 14, JOHN-STREET, ADLEPHI, LONDON, 26th May, 1864.\n\nSIR, I am directed to transmit to you a few copies of the new Instructions issued by the Royal National Life Boat Institution for the Restoration of the Apparently Drowned.\n\nThese Instructions are the result of extensive inquiries which have recently been made by the Institution amongst medical men, medical bodies, and coroners throughout the United Kingdom.\n\nThe Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have ordered 1,000 copies to be circulated throughout Her Majesty's Fleet, and the Commodore Controller-General of Coast Guard has also requested 2,000 copies to be supplied for distribution throughout the Coast Guard Service.\n\nThe Committee are desirous that these directions should be known throughout the British Colonies, and they would therefore feel much obliged if you would do them the honour to direct that the accompanying letters, containing packets of the same, be transmitted to the respective Governors of the Colonies.--I have, &c.,\n\n(Signed)\n\n**RICHARD LEWIS,**\nSecretary.\n\n# TREATMENT OF THE APPARENTLY DROWNED.\n\n## ROYAL NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION.\n\nINCORPORATED BY ROYAL CHARTER. -SUPPORTED BY VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS,\n\n**PATRONESS.-Her Most Gracious Majesty the QUEEN.**\n\n## DIRECTIONS FOR RESTORING THE APPARENTLY DROWNED.\n\nThe leading principles of the following Directions for the Restoration of the apparently Dead from Drowning are founded on those of the late Dr. Marshall Hall, combined with those of Dr. H. R. Silvester, and are the result of extensive inquiries which were made by the Institution in 1863-4 amongst Medical Men, Medical Bodies, and Coroners throughout the United Kingdom. These Directions have been extensively circulated by the Institution throughout the United Kingdom and in the Colonies. They are also in use in Her Majesty's Fleet, and in the Coast-guard Service.\n\n### I.\n\nON THE SPOT,\n\nSend immediately for medical assistance, blankets, and dry clothing, but proceed to treat the Patient instantly in the open air, with the face downwards, whether on shore or afloat; exposing the face, neck, and chest to the wind, except in severe weather, and removing all tight clothing from the neck and chest, especially the braces.\n\nThe points to be aimed at are-first and immediately, the Restoration of Breathing; and secondly, after breathing is restored, the Promotion of Warmth and Circulation.\n\nThe efforts to restore Breathing must be commenced immediately and energetically, and persevered in for one or two hours, or until a medical man has pronounced that life is extinct. Efforts to promote Warmth and Circulation beyond removing the wet clothes and drying the skin must not be made until the first appearance of natural breathing. For if circulation of the blood be induced before breathing has recommenced, the restoration to life will be endangered.\n\n### II.-TO RESTORE BREATHING.\n\n#### TO CLEAR THE THROAT-\nPlace the Patient on the floor or ground with the face downwards, and one of the arms under the forehead, in which position all fluids will more readily escape by the mouth, and the tongue itself will fall forward, leaving the entrance into the windpipe free. Assist this operation by wiping and cleansing the mouth.\n\nIf satisfactory breathing commences, use the treatment described below to promote Warmth. If there be only slight breathing or no breathing or if the breathing fail, then-\n\n#### TO EXCITE BREATHING-\nTurn the Patient well and instantly on the side, supporting the head, and-\n\nExcite the nostrils with snuff, hartshorn, and smelling salts, or tickle the throat with a feather, &c., if they are at hand. Rub the chest and face warm, and dash cold water, or cold and hot water alternately, on them.\n\nIf there be no success, lose not a moment but instantly\n\n#### TO IMITATE BREATHING-\nReplace the Patient on the face, raising and supporting the chest well on a folded coat or other article of dress.\n\n| Action | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Turn the body | very gently on the side and a little beyond, and then briskly on the face, back again; repeating these measures cautiously, efficiently, and perseveringly about fifteen times in the minute, or once every four or five seconds, occasionally varying the side. |\n| Pressure on the back | Make uniform but efficient pressure with brisk movement, on the back between and below the shoulder-blades or bones on each side, removing the pressure immediately before turning the body on the side. |\n\nBy placing the Patient on the chest, the weight of the body forces the air out; when turned on the side, this pressure is removed, and air enters the chest.\n\nThe first measure increases the Expiration, the second commences Inspiration.\n\n**The result is Respiration or Natural Breathing;—and, if not too late, Life.**\n\nWhilst the above operations are being proceeded with, dry the hands and feet; and as soon as dry clothing or blankets can be procured, strip the body and cover, or gradually reclothe it, but taking care not to interfere with the efforts to restore breathing.\n\n### III.\n\nShould these efforts not prove successful in the course of from two to five minutes, proceed to imitate breathing by Dr. Silvester's method, as follows:-\n\nPlace the Patient on the back on a flat surface, inclined a little upwards from the feet; raise and support the head and shoulders on a small firm cushion or folded article of dress placed under the shoulder-blades.\n\nDraw forward the Patient's tongue, and keep it projecting beyond the lips: an elastic band over the tongue and under the chin will answer this purpose, or a piece of string or tape may be tied round them, or by raising the lower jaw, the teeth may be made to retain the tongue in that position. Remove all tight clothing from about the neck and chest, especially the braces.\n\n#### TO IMITATE THE MOVEMENTS OF BREATHING-\nStanding at the Patient's head, grasp the arms just above the elbows, and draw the arms gently and steadily upwards above the head, and keep them stretched upwards for two seconds. (By this means air is drawn into the lungs.) Then turn down the Patient's arms, and press them gently and firmly for two seconds against the sides of the chest. (By this means air is pressed out of the lungs.)\n\nRepeat these measures alternately, deliberately, and perseveringly, about fifteen times in a minute, until a spontaneous effort to respire is perceived, immediately upon which cease to imitate the movements of breathing, and proceed to INDUCE CIRCULATION AND WARMTH.\n\n### IV. TREATMENT AFTER NATURAL BREATHING HAS BEEN RESTORED.\n\n#### TO PROMOTE WARMTH AND CIRCULATION.--\n\nCommence rubbing the limbs upwards, with firm grasping pressure and energy, using handkerchiefs, flannels, &c.: [by this measure the blood is propelled along the veins towards the heart.]\n\nThe friction must be continued under the blanket or over the dry clothing. Promote the warmth of the body by the application of hot flannels, bottles, or bladders of hot water, heated bricks, &c., to the pit of the stomach, the arm-pits, between the thighs, and to the soles of the feet.\n\nIf the Patient has been carried to a house after respiration has been restored, be careful to let the air play freely about the room.\n\nOn the restoration of life, a teaspoonful of warm water should be given; and then, if the power of swallowing have returned, small quantities of wine, warm brandy and water, or coffee, should be administered. The Patient should be kept in bed, and a disposition to sleep encouraged.",

This speech contains actual facts in regard to the general situation which cannot fail to arouse serious misgivings as to the adequacy of the steps so far taken to abolish the Mui Tsai system in fact as opposed to abolition on paper or in theory.\n\nI beg to remain,  \nSir,  \nYours faithfully,  \nM.

        "content_text": "Treasury Chambers, S.W.1. 106 21st January, 1949.\n\nDear Boughey,\n\n40 on 48895/48\n\nI am sorry that there has been some delay in dealing with your letter of the 14th December.\n\nAs regards the claim under Category 2, the probability is that the stores were charged against H.M. Government under the Defence Expenditure Plan. We know that in other cases where stores were received in India without detailed price documentation, India estimated the value on the best evidence available and made an appropriate charge against H.M. Government.\n\nIt would probably be useful if Commonwealth Relations Office took the matter up with the Government of India, pointing out that the stores were supplied during the period of the currency of the Defence Expenditure Plan and saying that we presume the cost has been charged to H.M. Government and that it therefore falls to India to make payment now. Perhaps, however, as a first step, the Colonial Office would ascertain the date on which the claim was lodged against India. Failure to lodge the claim before our recent discussions would not invalidate a claim against India, but the fact (if it proves so) that the claim was so lodged would be an additional point in favour of India's assumption of liability.\n\nWith regard to claims under Categories B and C, it is our view that these do not fall to be met either by India or H.M. Government. It cannot be too strongly emphasised that the Hong Kong Government decided against a War Risks Insurance scheme, under which certain deficiencies could, we presume, have been covered by the Colonial Office by virtue of the War Risks Insurance (Guarantees) Act, 1941, and in these circumstances, we cannot agree that...\n\nR.
