Sir: 
•• 
I have for acknowledgment your letter of the 16th 
instant regarding steamship sailings from this port to 
the Falkland Islands from December 15th to January 30j 
1926. 
I have been informed that formerly there was a 
regular service between Punta Arenas and the Islands 
but that this service has been discontinued. With 
reference to passage on an Argentine Government light- 
hoiase tender or other Government boat, as far as I have 
been able to ascertain, there will be no sailings within 
the period mentioned above. 
According to the best information available there 
are only two available boats within the period mentioned. 
namely:

Line sails from Montevideo, Uruguay, January
