sir,

6.37389

With reference to my despatch No.282 of the 5tk

of August, I have the honour to transmit a petition addressed to you by Mr. I. A. Wheal, in which he asks that he may be

granted two single passages to England on being invalided

from the service.

2.

The free passage scheme is intended to enable

certain officers and their families to take leave in a temper- ate climate at regular intervals, in order that they may

recruit their health for a further term of service in the

tropica. It is not intended to provide passages under the scheme for officers on retirement from the service, and I am,

therefore, unable to support Mr. Wheal's request.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Ахадо

Governor,&c.
