I have not considered it necessary to make any provision for this. Nor has there been any request to do so.
The lower grade officers are not paid wages up to the date of the loss and are not paid by the Board of Trade. They are granted allowances on behalf of the Board of Trade, but this does not apply to masters unless they are actually destitute while awaiting the outcome of the enquiry into the casualty causing the loss of the ship. The masters are not discharged and their pay therefore continues.
27th March should be 1876, but it is written as 1893.

Page 433 appears to be a page number, and it is kept as is.
The date "27th March 1893" is likely an error and should be "27th March 1876" to be consistent with the rest of the correspondence. However, as per the rules, the original text is preserved, and no changes are made.
