It has been told by several who, for obvious reasons, cannot be named, that they dislike and do not trust him. This dislike is the more surprising, as he is generous and agreeable in social life generally; but he is considered overbearing and truculent by his subordinates in office. This feeling is apparently shared by many of the merchant seamen with whom he comes into contact, as I have received many complaints of his arrogance, which would naturally not be repeated, but which would become embittered if this appointment were made, and the port would suffer in consequence. I have been informed by some of the leading Chinese that he is disliked and distrusted by them also.
b. The honour of the head of a Department should be above suspicion.
Commander Beckwith's nickname in the Colony is, I am told, “Cunshaw Charlie". While such names cannot be taken too seriously, the sinister suggestion in this case is obvious, and would not redound to the dignity or honour of the office.
Commander Beckwith has more than once used his position as Acting Harbour Master to intrigue against others in the Department; to advance his favourites; or bar his subordinates with whom he does not agree. He has also, during my absence on Active Service, attempted to get me ejected from the post of Harbour Master and himself appointed.
A man who is not loyal to his own Department and his own colleagues is not fit to be at its head.
