2
years under all sorts of hardships and
in this part of the world.
As regards a relief for him: I was speaking the
other day to Mr .George Athanasiades and asking if
he kn-e- had experience of launch driving. He
said he had. To me he looks to be quite the right
person for this job and if you are also of the same
opinion, may he be asked if he would like to
take up the appointment. To start with he might
be given Rs.140/-, with prospect of rise to the
fall pay of the Launch Lriver in due course.
If Mr.George agrew.i and you approve, be can be
shown on the roll as from the 1st of June 19 36.
Mr.Bayer mentioned to me about his
private affairs - his debts etc. I told him not
to worry his head about these things and that
everything would be settled to his best advantage.
If you v/ish I migjit draw his pay for him, give
him whatever he wants fer to go on with and ask
him how he wants the balance to be disposed of,
Submitted for your orders please.
