West Const Borats that they have deemed it imprudent to pass the night with at anchor There hindrances to the

free navigation

of the neighbouring const must I imagine be a

source

of great inconvenience and even of positive danger in this monsoon.

Under these circumstances

I think it right to convey to you for your consideration an application for assistance just made by the Local authorities of this port-

They offer to send one of their own cruisers in company with you if you consider it fit to proceed on an expedition against these outlaws; or if you consider that the chance of success will be greater by the Gun Boat going alone, to send a marine Officer of fitting rank and experience on board the "Staughty," with Local Pilots and any other people necessary.

I have to add in conclusion that the increasing fearlessness of the pirates in this neighbourhood in not caring to avoid foreign merchant vessels as they formerly did (together with some other circumstances that have come to my knowledge) lead me to believe that they must have some Europeans amongst them.
