I have, & c., L. HARCOURT. Governor the Right Honourable Lord Islington, K. C. M. G., D. S. O., & c. At the Court at Balmoral, the 3rd Day of October, 1911. Present : THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

And His Majesty, by virtue of the powers vested in him by the provisions of section 738 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, and by and with the advice of His Privy Council, is further pleased to order and declare that upon and after the publication hereof in the London Gazette the Order in Council made on the 9th day of October, 1903, shall be revoked and the same is hereby revoked accordingly.
