TO CAPTAIN PALMEE, S.S. MUEEAY. EAE SIE, —We cannot allow the Jf circumstances of to-day to pass unnoticed. While we congratulate you upon bringing the steamer under your command safely from her dangerous position, we cannot refrain from acknowledging the true sailorly and manly spirit which induced you to offer assistance to a brother sailor, whose vessel was in distress, and apparently in imminent danger. Yourreadily offered services, suggested by the natural impulse of a kindly feeling, would no doubt have proved successful, without extraordinary risk to your own vessel, but for the altered and unmarked changes in our river entrance. That you were not able to help the Wallabi is not attributable to any want of energy on your part; and we, as residents and travellers on the West Coast of New Zealand, take this opportunity of expressing an appreciation of your conduct and seamanship on the occasion.
