It is satisfactory to record that, at the time of writing this report, Mr. FitzHenry is on the return voyage to Hong Kong for duty.
I take the opportunity to express my appreciation of the commendable manner in which Mr. Moss has carried on in the office of Superintendent during Mr. FitzHenry's absence.
