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

The Donkey Boller, which is on the äpper deck and totally exposed to the weather,' had a very savere test fast trip, and seas breaking over it contineally did not detach any of the composition nor has it in any way deteriorated.

In my opinion it is one of the best non-condueling compositions I have sean and perfectly self-adhesive.

Yours faithfully,

(Signed) A. H. MACDONALD,
