I have examined the log-book of the "Costa Rica Packet," and I find that it bears every appearance of being regularly kept, and the entire entry of the 24th January, 1888, which appears in its proper place, is as follows: --"Tuesday, 24th January, 1888.

The ship's inward report ("lettre de belement") is, in my opinion, quite sufficiently filled up, and I should not consider the finding of such a prauw and contents "a remarkable circumstance," or a matter requiring to be disclosed to the authorities of a foreign port even if I recognized the duty of disclosing it to such authorities. 5.
