"I am, dear Sir,

"Your most obedient,

(Signed)

"CHARLES C. FORSYTH,

Commander R. N."

I have also to express my heartfelt thanks to that noble lady who, in sending out the vessel herself, allowed me to be a sharer in the Expedition by attaching me as an officer to it, an honour of which I shall, indeed, ever remain proud. To herself, and to her niece, Miss Sophia Cracroft, who was devotedly attached to the cause,

ever aid

ing by her sound advice, I am deeply indebted
