not obtainable, the minimum first-class fare on the boat by which the officer travelled
should be ascertained and the luggage allowance based on that amount.

conveyance of luggage.
3. —The cost of sleeping berths, where admissible, should be shown as a separate item in the

other first-class accommodation was available on the train ; a statement to that effect
should accompany any claim.

6 . —Application for rebate should be made when a steamship passage is requisitioned, except
in the case of the P. & O. and B.I.S.N. Companies, when the procedure laid down in F.O.
Circular No. K. 197/197/250 of January 15th, 1923, should be followed. The account
should show clearly whether a rebate on the cost of a steamship passage was secured.
