Referring to Sir H. A. Blake's despatch No.206
of the 31st of July 1899, I have the honour to recommend
that as the steam tender, or larger of the steam launches therein referred to, is now approaching completion, r.W.
Robinson, who has been employed as Master of the Chartered
Irunch "Wing Foo", which has been performing the work for
which the new vessel is required, be appointed Master of
the steam tender at a salary of $1,800 per annum, being
the amount he is ct present receiving as provided in the
Estimates for the year unter the heading "Stan Launches"
in the Harbour Department, and placed on the pertinent Establishment.
Mr. Robinson, who holds a Master's certificate,
is well spoken of by the Harbour Marber, who recommended
that Mr. Robinson should be placed on the Fixed Establishment.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your most obedient
Humble Servant,
My. Gascoigne
Major-General
Administering the Government.
