It gives us extreme p'e&sure to be able to record that the gre*t skill and care you have showi as a navigator have inspired t.s with the iullest sente of security from the very commencement of our journey, having had unple opportunity of seeiog the alert attention displayed when such was needed, so that Thile In your ship we have never felt the slightest concern for our safety, whatever the weather may have been. We beg to tender you our sincerest thanks and our hopes for your continued safety and prosperity.
