From Viceroy, 29 th September 1916 .
Secret. My telegram of 23 rd August 1913 . Henjam. Bunkering at
Henjam by transport from Basrah has resulted in relieving pressure of work
at Basrah and saving much time in freeing transports for further service.
Naval authorities in Gulf consider this most important, and to avoid delay
and difficulty press for immediate construction coaling pier at Hen jam at a
cost of Rs. #£42*
Expenditure will be treated as pertaining to a schedule measure, and as
no funds available in current year schedule grant of cost will be met by
transfer of funds from reserve in ordinary army estimates.
We should be glad to receive your sanction by telegraph.
