ADDITIONAL INTELLIGENCE RECEIVED ON 9/9/1914.

Wireless Stations at HERBERTSHOHE:

Information received shows there are probably two Stations, one of which is believed to be in course of erection. This one is reported to be directly inland from HERBERTSHOHE. A good motor road leads to it, and heavy motor lorry tracks are plainly visible; about 4 miles distance. The other station is reported to be inland from KABAKAUL; there is a plantation there belonging to Mr. Rundle; a road from this plantation leads to this station.

It is probable that telephone wires will be seen leading to the stations, These should be cut.

There is a Motor Car at HERBERTSHOHE belonging to Herr Wahlen, Manager of Forsyth Brothers' Stores.

The following is a copy of message from the Admiral to the Brigadier at 2-15 p.m. 9-9-14:-

"Information has been received as follows:-
"At KANANGE, about 10 miles South of CAPE GAZELLE lives a Samoan Woman named Gracie Schmidt, who is known to be loyal to the British, and who would, if required, send a message to her half-brother (Henry Cox), who lives at RAPONO, close to KABAKAUL, and who would willingly provide at least 40 Native Guides for the Troops. At KABAKAUL is the wharf used for landing of the Wireless Apparatus, and from thence to the Wireless Station is a 12 ft. road capable of carrying heavy motor lorries.
