And allow me, in the name of the officers and the ship's company, to congratulate you, Captain Fleetwood, on the fortunate issue of our adventures in the recovery of Miss Garden. We all feel as we ought to feel--the most sincere joy and satisfaction at your happiness, and, perhaps, you'll understand what we want to express without my making a longer speech about it, but the fact is, we haven't had time to cut and dry one, and I didn't like to put off saying this longer than we could help.

You have all done me the greatest service any men could render another, and I am most sincerely grateful to you all. Pray say this to all hands, for I cannot now more publicly express my feelings. We must settle some way to mark the day as a bright one on board, but we shall have time to think about that by-and-by, and we must now see how the mistico gets on.
