beg to dgulfy our sense of gratitude publicly for the great kindness with which we were treated on board by Captain Scale, his Ublei Officer Mr J. Ward, and the Medical Officer of the ship, Dr. Gaz stalra, during the voyage of the vessel from Singapore to Hongkong; particularly for the good-heartedness they showed in yield Ing to our wishes in having preserved the body of an unfortunate female passenger who happened to die on board on the

10th Inst, when the vessel was some

distance from Hongkong. According to the sanitary rules of navigation, the body would have been thrown overboard, but the reverence for the dead is 30 great with us that all the passengers on board, bombering 432, as well as the thres Chinese cooks on board, joined to beg the Captain and his Officers to apare that of the unfortunate woman, and they good. naturedly complied with our wish. We,

therefore, as a mark of our sense of gratl- tude, have presented a Complimentary Flag to Capt. Scale, and our sincere thanks to his officers, especially Chief Offeer J. Ward and Dr. Carstairs and
