occurred
here
on the 29th
and 30th of May.
Great credit is due
to Mr Brown, and the
exceedingly small staff at
his disposal, for the strenuous
efforts
which
they
have
made to cope with exceptional
difficulties during unusually trying
an
season;
and the best thanks of -
this Government
are
owing
to the Military Authorities, and especially to Lieutenant
Colonel
66
Colonel Champernowne, R.E., for their assistance.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord, Your Lordship's Most Obedient
Humble Servant,
