was formerly the
prachei at this port to send to Hong
Kong all distressed British Seamen
needing to be
to be sent home to the United Kingdom or elsewhere, but the tenor of recent instructions is to forbid our
doing this, and to direct us to wait for opportunities of vending such men home direct from this fort; I beg to prout out that these instructions are
unsuitable to the circumstances of
this port.
