                                To the

                                             Collector of Customs,
  

  Limassol & Paphos.
  

  
  

  Honourable Sir,
  

  
  

  Michael Sava of Kyrenia, master of sailing-vessel
  

  "Evangelistria" - British colours - loaded with 40 bags of
  

  soap and bound from Rhodes to Limassol via Castellorizo,
  

  was obliged by bad weahter to anchor at Mullia on Ist
  

  Feburary, 1916. Owing to rough weather she was unable to
  

  move from there; and on Sunday, the 6th instant, at 4.30
  

  p.m. (approximately) a French war-ship, which was coming
  

  oppostie to our port, after searching above-mentioned
  

  vessel, ordered the sailors to enter a boat and, capturing
  

  the master, sank it. I then sent a messenger for the Health
  

  Officer to come and examine the four sailors and he did not
  

  allow them to land but gave orders for them to be placed in
  

  an empty vessel in the harbour, pending telegraphic
  

  instructions from the Chief Medical Officer.
  

  According to statements of the sailors, a boat
  

  came from the war-ship, examined their papers, looked at
  

  the flag, captured the captain and the papers, ordered the
  

  sailors to enter a boat of their own and torpedoed the
  

  vessel. It is understood that this was done for their not
  

  hoisting up the flag. I think that, according to the state-
  

  ments of the sailors, there was no other cargo on board
  

  except the forty bags of soap.
  

  
  

  Dated 7th February, 1916       (Signed) Mehmed Murad
