No. 84, Miscellaneous

I have the honor to report that I made application to Rear Admiral
the Honorable J. Denman for a Ship of War to visit the Settlements on
the North East coast of this Island and embarked in H.M.S.
"Devastation" for that purpose on the 27th September returning on
the 4th October.

I visited the Settlements at Cowichan, Nanaimo, and Comox (or Port
Augusta) and the Island of San Juan.

I have given Captain Joliffe, the Commander of the "Devastation," the
usual certificate to enable him to recover the customary allowance
for the entertainment of myself and one servant during the period
before mentioned.
