We cannot be unmindful of the lamented death of your predecessor, a sad event in the midst of the mighty ocean, which suddenly imposed upon you the arduous duties of commander of our ill-fated ship. When the hour of danger was nigh we found tlmtiyou had anticipated our fear; we saw with sat i sfaction that wo were in safekeeping’; we saw with admirati on that you humanely jeopardised your future position for ours hy seeking shelter and repairs in Mauritius. We should indeed be unworthy of the name of Englishmen, were wo not to tender you our gratitude for our safe deliverance from a watery grave, which, hut for your anxious care, wise decision, and humanity, would eventually have been our fate, through the shifting of the cargo. We are assured that you have discharged your duty as commander in a manner that demands the best consideration of the owners, merchants and others concerned in the safety of the ship, and congratulate them on the appointment of one so thoroughly worthy,” Mr Best was mate of the ship, and took charge on the death of the captain, which took place on the voyage. ‘Lyttelton Times.’ SHIPPING TELEGRAM.
