My men come up. He said more of the repel will go unless force is brought to prevent her. I therefore called some more Policemen to come up and took them to the forecastle of the vessel; I think there were eight altogether.

Some of the men were on the bridge thinking it was the nearest way to the forecastle, but I called them down. The French Consul, the Captain, the Officer from the "Alma" and several more gentlemen went on to the bridge and held a consultation for two or three minutes. The Captain then said to me "It is all right, we are going to stop the vessel under protest. I will give orders to put the chain in the busy and to blow off steam." He then issued the orders and said to me "There is no necessity to keep all the Police here." I said "I will take them all away if you give me your word." And he said "Certainly, upon my word."
