that I have succeeded, after considerable difficulty,
in obtaining Us.700A for the "John Lamberts
2 m I have been able to re^conetruct the "Felix

Jones" on local lines and she should now prove a craft
thoroughly suited to the conditions of the
Persian Gulf

3# Unfortunately expert examination has shown that
the engine, which is ten years old, is in a poor con
dition and is no longer reliable# X have had it over
hauled as best X can locally, and, though it might serve
for harbour use where help is always at hand, I should
be most unwilling to trust either myself or any member
of staff ( or the crew) to this engine on a sea
going Journey# As you know, events in Qatar ( and
possible developments elsewhere) render it important
that the launch should he able to proceed on journey
as far as, for example, Doha without risk.

who are the agents of the ergius Company Limited
