  The OFFICE OF THE
  CHIEF SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT
  

  CYPRUS, 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.
  

  
  

  (signed) C. W. ORR.
  

  Chief Secretary.
