Mr. Mayers to Sir R. Alcock.

CANTON,

June 14th, 1869.

I have the honour to report to Your Excellency that

with the approval of Mr. Consul Robertson at the time

of his departure from this Port, I requested the Vice-

roy Jul-lin about a month ago to despatch one of his

steam Gunboats, the "Chên-to" to the Pratashoal, where

more than one Foreign vessel has lately been wrecked

and immediately pillaged by the Junk people who make

this their place of resort.

From a report made by the Commander of the "Chên-

to" on his return I came to the conclusion that to sta-

tion one or two Chinese Junks at the island and lagoon

enclosed by the Pratashoals, for the purpose of pre-

venting the lawless pillage of vessels in distress, is

not only highly desirable but also perfectly feasible;

and I therefore addressed the Viceroy on the subject,

suggesting that measures of this kind be taken, and

referring to the 20th Article of the Treaty of Tient-

sin in support of my recommendation.

The reply I received
