MILITARY" BRANCH,
ADMIRALTY, 3.W. 1.
M.03647/34. 9th February 1935.
¥i/ dear Laithwaite,
We have now had an opportunity of considering
Mr. Baliantyne's letter of the 20th December ahout the
lightship at Bahrein wnich you sent to me unaer cover of
your letter PoZ # 78Q5/34 of the 31st December.
As you will see from our letter M.0142/34 of the
12th February 1934, it was recognised, when the position
for the lightship was under discussion in January 1934,
that there would be every advantage in placing it on the
site proposed for the company's outer lightbuoy
(Lat. 26° 31' N. Long. 50° E.).
#
The present tangle seems to have resulted from the
fact that when as a result of ORMONDE 'S survey in
February 1934, another position, giving the company a
better channel, was selected for the outer lightbuoy,
the Government of India were left still considering
whether or not they would approve of the original
proposed position as the site for the lightship and they
have in fact just recently decided to approve it.
This change in the position of the outer lightbuoy
appears to have been made by consultation only among the
people on the spot, but in any event we think that
Mr. Ballantyne should not be left with the impression,
which he seems to have, that the Admiralty are
responsible for determining the position of the lightship
and that it should be made clear to him that we merely
acted in a consultative capacity, the responsibility
resting with the Government of India, as the lighting and
buoy ing/
