CHIEF SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENTCYPRUS, 12th February, 1916.
CONFIDENTIAL.
Chief Commandant of Police,
It has been reported that a sailing vessel
"Evangelistra" of Kyrenia, owner Savas Haralambou,
Master Michael Savas, which has sheltered under the
Moullia rocks, near Paphos, was sunk on the 6th
instant by a French cruiser. It appears to have
cleared from Kyrenia on 15th November last for Rhodes
with a cargo of olive seed, and the crew state that
they had come from Rhodes via Castellorizo, and that
the only cargo on board was the vessel was sunk was
40 sacks of soap. There is reason, however, to
believe that arms and ammunition were discovered on
the vessel, and that this was the reason why she was
sunk by the French cruiser. I am directed by the
High Commissioner therefore to request you to take
steps to impound the correspondence of the owner,
Savas Haralambou, and to have it examined with the
owner when he returns to Kyrenia (I understand that
he is at present in Larnaca) as it is necessary that
every step possible should be taken to ascertain
whether there is anything to show that the vessel
was carrying contraband of war. Meanwhile His
Excellency is endeavouring to ascertain from the
French Admiral the precise reasons for the sinking
of the vessel.

Chief Secretary.
