Please refer to my telegram of the 9th instant, and despatch from His

have just received copy by post of the despatch from Consul at Basrah to
His Majesty's Ambassador at Constantinople dated 4th February in which
former reports that Turkey’s lightship is in imminent danger of foundering
on the strength of the information supplied by the “ representative of the
lighthouse administration.” Until the vessel discussed (Viceroy’s telegram of
2nd November to Secretary of State for India) takes shape is it not possible that
we could take opportunity to send some hulk of our own there forthwith to act as
lightship ?
