To
The Director
-ttoyol Indian Marine.
ir,
I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter No. 4940, dated the 4th August 1915, regarding
employment of the Royal Indian Marine Ship
“Nearchus’’ on certain political duties, in which you
request approval to your proposal that the whole of
^.•.0 expenses of the vessel whilst engaged on such
duties should ce debited to the department concerned.
tou further represent that the employment of this
vessel on other duties greatly interferes with the
efficient performance of her legitimate work in
connection with the lighting and buoyage of the
Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. , and you accordingly request that the
M Nearchus M be allowed to carry out these latter duties
in future without Interruption,
b. In reply I am to say that the Government of
India have decided that the vessel in question should
not ordinarily be employed on duties other than those
pertaining to lighting and buoyage, but that, should it
become necessary during the period of the war, uo
utilise the vessel for urgent political or other
missions, she shoulo be allowed to carry out such
duties provided such employment will not, in the
opinion of the officer commanding the vessel,interfere
with the efficient discharge of her legitimate duties.
