p.m.
282. The Minister at Peiping has informed me of the kind action of H. M. S. Cricket in taking on board the Americans who were at Wuhu on October 18th when that place was in line of fire of opposing Chinese forces. Please convey to the British Government the most sincere thanks of this Government for the action of the British Naval forces in extending protection to American citizens on that occasion.
