the passage money due for "Ariel" but did not press the claim of

transport of the men

on the

this Colony for the $100 expended for passage of the men in the Chinese Junk from the scene of their first wreck. –

I think it right therefore to request Your Lordship's instructions in this matter. This Government has defrayed with pleasure the cost of the maintenance and clothing, &c. of the men whilst here, and I trust your Lordship will sanction that expenditure. It appears to me

however that all other

expenses

154

should more properly fall on the

Imperial Government, as similar

Cases may

now

become

more numerous

that we hope to

see

the

frequently

Japanese Flag in these waters, and it would be well to arrange by whom such contingent expenses should be borne.

I have the honour to be, Your Lordship's, most obedient Servant,

Robert Franks

Governor.
