demi - Official communications from Mr Getzlaff. I am utterly at a loss to reconcile what me, with what he writes to me. He appears to have told Captains Chads on the 30th of June.

Had the above been the extent, or purport, of Mr. Gutzlaff's verbal communication to Captains Chads, I should be disposed to condemn, as perfectly unnecessary and uncalled for, the precautions which that Officer proceeded to take, and under any circumstance I must regret that he thought it expedient to make such a public matter of them.
Cannot help feeling that the almost daily occurrence of taking Vessels passing up and down the Coast close to Shippo, should have satisfied Captain Chads, that whatever the Pirates had no intention of annoying us, and I look upon it to be one of the first duties of an officer stationed as Captain Chads is, to avoid measures that may apparently disquiet them.
