In re "arctic"
18 Oct 1860

Sir,

With reference to Mr Haurels letters of yesterday's
date, I beg to enclose a list of the late crew of this
vessel, - The master has not yet arrived, nor is he
likely to return for some weeks.

The Depositions of G. Erratt, 2nd mate, and of Mr-
atkinson seaman, have been taken by Mr Saxelbye
Receiver for Hill, - I am Receiver for Sandlemere
only.

I request your instructions as to detaining
the mate or one or more of the seamen, if you
consider that I should take this case out of Mr
Saxelbye's hands. I am sir
your most obdt servt
D.C.

In re "arctic"
20 Oct 1860

Sir,

I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date.

I have not been able to find Mr Wilson (the
owner of this vessel) today but one of his clerks thinks
there will be no objections to recalling the master
by telegram on Monday, it is very unlikely, however
that he can be home by the end of next week, as
he has been very ill, and unable to leave his room.

Under the circumstances I am doubtful what
day, for attendance, should be named in the
summonses to be served on the mates, Boatswain
Helmsman &, - Please inform me as to this
by Telegram on monday morning.
I am, Sir,
your most obdt servt
D.C.
