as to who is to pay the remaining $500 Which, at present, is lost to the Hong Kong Govt as the Chinese Emigrants.
The Passengers of the "Franciscs", but it is not stated where the "Andville" sailed from, but it was presumably from a Chinese Port.
If however it had heard from the Consul there would be no power to compel the owner of the Vessel to reimburse the amount as I see from the XCV section of the Passengers Act that Hongkong is excluded (expressly) from the Provisions of that Act.
Sir F Rogers 4 June See Duplicate of $335. 8063 $1000 was paid for the rescue of the Shipwrecked Passengers of the Ship "Ardville".
I would humbly send a copy of this letter to the Governor and that sum was divided equally between 2 Junkmen as 2 Junks were employed.
The Board of Trade now state, in Correction of 4948, that $500 should be voted for the rescue of the distressed Crew of the "Butork" and the sum despatched to the Agents stating that they will obtain $500 from the Board to make up $1000.
I would instruct them to place themselves in Communication with the Owner with a view to recovering if possible $500 for the rescue of the Chinese Emigrants from the wreck.
If the Owner refuses, I suppose we must ask if they will discharge other humane Action.
Also Copy to Governors.
