the Lords Commissioners how the matter stands, and a further com
munication promised to them as soon as possible. But it should be
clearly understood that a lighthouse tender of some kind or another is
an essential part of the scheme, though every endeavour will be made
to keep the cost as low as possible.
4. Another point which is open to doubt is whether the Government
of India propose to lay in the near future any further buoys (particularly
at Bahrein) as recommended in the Naval Commander-in-Chief’s letter
of the 25th February 1911, paragraph 7. Their attention has been
directed to this in the telegram, dated the 13th instant, of which a copy
is herewith transmitted. In any case, the cost of the buoys would be
small as compared with that of the lighthouses and the light-vessels.
5. As regards the location of a lighthouse at Sheikh-Shuaib, it is
presumed that His Majesty’s Minister will receive such instructions as
27th April m e i gram ^ Vicero ^ dated Sir E * Gre y may think suitable
' as to approaching the Persian
Government.*
b. A copy of this letter is being communicated to the Admiralty.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
5 our most obedient Servant,
