H»M.S^ ,, Sphinx w at Bushire,
28th June 190A.
Sir,
With regard to the message I have received by Mr.Abraham
from you saying that you will not provide a guard for the money
through Bushire nor be responsible for it on the way to the ship
I beg to inform you that I will not take over the money in any shape
or form except on board the ship under my command. It must be
obvious to you that I have no right to land armed men in Bushire,
and you yourself agreed to send the money off to the ship in a
native boat as I have none large enough to take it with safety •
The Officer is only attending from the "Sphinx" at the
Consulate for weighing the money, to meet your convenience, but if
this is to be made a pretext for taking over the money before it
reaches the ship, I must ask to alter that arrangement and the money
must be weighed on board the "Sphinx 11 .
I would ask to be informed what you propose to do, but I will not
modify my decision of taking oner the money anywhere except on board
the "Sphinx". Of course I will be responsible for hoisting the
money in from the boat.
I have the honour to^be /
Sir.
Your Obedient Servant
Commander, and
S.N.O.
