EXTRACT from a letter from the Hongkong Agency of the Peninsular and Oriental Company dated 28th November 1893.
"As will be seen by the annexed copy of a letter from
Captain Gadd, this vessel, as well as the 'Japan", encoun-
tered very severe weather on the voyage from Singapore which
occupied 24 hours longer than was anticipated when leaving
that Port. I understand that a considerable portion of
the Mail matter which is reported by Captain Gadd to have
been damaged is in such a state that there is much diffi-
culty in deciphering addresses &c., but the Hongkong Post
Office apparently accepts full responsibility for the occur-
rence,
which was due to the action of their Marine Sorter,
as no communication has been made to me upon the subject.
