With regard to the composition applied by you in the Bollers and Steam Pipes of this Steamer, I beg to State that it has given every satisfaction.

The Donkey Boller, which is on the upper deck and totally exposed to the weather, had a very severe fest last trip, and seas breaking over it continually did not detach any of the composition nor has it, la any, way deteriorated.

In my opinion it is one of the heat non-conducting compositions I have sem and perfectly self-adhesive.

Yours faithfully,
