I am directed by the Guild, representing ten thousand Captains and Officers of the Merchant Service, to lay before you certain serious complaints forwarded to them regarding the conduct of Commander Rumsey, R.N., the Harbour Master at Hong Kong towards Captain Blance, Master of the British Ship "Kirkcudbrightshire", who desired his assistance in the matter of difficulties he was experiencing with the members of his crew.
