Sir,
ffith reference to your Secret telegram No. 100 of
the 25th August, and to previo-s correspondence, ielative
to the visit of H.M.S. "Achilles" to certain Pacific Islands,
I have the honour to transmit to you, at the instance cf
my Ministers, the accompanying copy of a report of the
Commanding Officer relating to his visit to Kingman Keef.
2. With regard to paragraph 5 of the report,
Ministers are advised that the snip, having arrived o£f.
iCingman Beef two days ahead of her progra^e, did not receive
Admiralty message 1326 of the 26th August until after the
U.S.S. "Gamble" was sighted.
3. It has been observed that the Station Order Book
instructions referred to in the minute of the Commodore
Commanding are at variance with the procedure laid down for
reporting movements.     Steps have been taken to cancel them,
and orders have been given to comply with the directions
contained in C.B.3000(31)  in future.
I have, etc.
(Sgd.) GALWAY.
