government of ports; also that in clause 2 he means “support” or good
offices rather than protection strictly speaking.
He thinks Soulet will not be moving up country yet and could come to
Gelladar or even Tahiri or Kangun to meet an officer on behalf of Government
if it is decided to discuss proposals with him.
