1. ./lease see the Admiralty letter of 26th April, below.
The Admiralty have since informed us that this letter was
written without having seen Sir David Monteath's letter of the
22nd April, and enquired whether the proposal put forward
about Liie Nearchus would meet our purpose, or whether we wished
them to pursue further enquiries about a yacht. (Apparently
they have in mind a yacht which is believed at present in the
Levant
A geographical area corresponding to the region around the eastern Mediterranean Sea.
, but which they are not quite sure is still available.)
he admiralty were told that we regarded the separate yacht as
much ohe better solution. Their enquiries for a yacht, however,
are sure to take time in any case and in the meantime we may
as well teul Sir Olaf Garoe what they say about the Ifearchus.
If this means tnat the Port Directorate are now prepared to
' SO back to the old arrangement whereby the Nearchus is hired as
required tor the Resident l^and is used only for that and
lighting and buoying), it would seem wise to get that fixed up
as the best interim solution.
2. Leanwhile a private telegram from the Viceroy, No.885-S,
has been received. This refers to a previous tej.egram of his,
No.lO-S, a copy of which is attached to the file which we ha^t
not previously seen in the Department.
3. A draft letter to the Admiralty is submitted together
with uraft telegrams to the Viceroy and Sir Olaf Canoe.
