Sir,

Harbour Master.

Victoria, Hong Kong.

13 December 1843,

I have to acknowledge the receipt of letter No: 171 of the 11th Instant, reporting your having sent to the Seaman's Hospital, as a case of emergency, a distressed Seaman named William Retter, who had been discharged on the 14th of October last by the master of the Ship Horatio at 566 Lambeangare, from thence conveyed to Manilla, and finally brought to this Colony by the Spanish Brig Sultan.

In reply,

I am directed by His Excellency the Governor to request that you will, as soon as possible, procure for this distressed Seaman a passage on board one of the ships about to sail for England, either via Port, Whampoa, or Macao, and that you will in the meantime afford him the usual assistance necessary for his maintenance, forwarding to this Office a Memorandum of the Expenses incurred in order that the same may be recovered from the owners of the ship "Horatio". You will also be pleased to attach to the above-named Memorandum a certified copy of the discharge given to William Retter by the Master of the "Horatio".
