On arriving here on February órd: 1 was extremely surprised, and sorry to hear you has been suspended from your so ably filled for so post as Shipping Master, which you have many years past, and on learning the reason of this I was more
the Government here should on the evidence surprised still, that they had go to such extreme. I know that whenever my crews have been paid off by you, they have always received their full wages in my presence, the cash has been placed on the desk, and the balance if any has been handed to me, the total agreeing with the amount of the wages bill, so the accusation that you have kept money back from the men is false as far as ship is concerned.

I have always watched each man get his money, and have seen it counted into his hands, and the whole proceeding was far too public for any sharp practice that you are accusedor to take

I have had considerable experience of shipping office in various ports of the world, and in no fort other than this can 80 much work be done in such a short time. You have filled a difficult post which I think the utmost credit, and with the various types of men you have had to deal with this has not been
simple work.
