I desire to express my appreciation of the cordial

way in which you responded to my appeal for assistance from His

Majesty's Navy in the search for disabled junka and the relief

of their crews after the recent typhoon.

2. In particular I would wish to convey my thanks

to the officers and men of H.M.S."Cadmus", "Handy" and "Janus "

who left port in such inclement weather on three different

occasions, and were instrumental in saving four junks and

distributing rice and water to many others.

3. It would be presumptuous on my part to express

appreciation of the readiness at all times of His Majesty's

Navy to render all the assistance that lies in their power

when called upon, and I only venture to do so in this instance

since it was in response to an appeal from myself on behalf of

junks belonging to this Colony that the search was undertaken.

I have eto,

(ad) F.D.Lugard.

Governor &c.

To:-

Commodore H.Lyon. A.D.0.
