upon

the expiration of

leave in September next

I beg to recommend

that the appointment be

conferred

on

Mr. Sterry Phomsett,

R. M., who is now

for

the

second time acting master, and who has proved himself well fitted for

the

Harbor

Master's

port.

Mr.

Rowsett is an officer in the Navy of 20 years standing; and at present commands Her Majesty's Ship "Princess

Charlotte" stationed here as

Receiving Ship.

In March

1859,

the Harbor Master's

department was in the

greatest confusion owing to the death of Mr. Newman and the defalcation of Mr. Sunthorpe.

I applied to Admiral Hope for assistance and he allowed Mr. Rowsett to accept the acting

appointment, which he held with great advantage to the Colony until Mr. Inglis' return in November last.
