THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 11TH AUGUST, 1866.
Such disinterestedness and humanity are unfortunately too rare in this part of the world for conduct such as that of the Miaco-Sima Islanders to pass without special approbation, and this Court would suggest that the matter be brought to th knowledge of the Chief Naval Officer of the Station in the hope that he may see fit to direct some expression of thanks to b. made to the Islanders by any of Her Majesty's Naval Officers who may visit the scene of the wreck of the Fairlight.
Given under our hands at Hongkong this 9th day of August, 18Ĝ6.
