Minutes (2).
Sargeaunt reports that the John Stephenson arrived at Victoria and
discharged nearly all her cargo.But he regrets that Crown Agents have
no knowledge of the condition in which the Machinery taken out by that Vessel reached its destination.
Sargeaunt to Elliot (Assistant Under-Secretary)
Referring to Mr Julyan's letter of the 8th ultimo I have to state
for the information of Mr Secretary Cardwell, that it appears that
the "John Stephenson" arrived at Victoria, Vancouver Island, on the
25th Septr last, & had discharged nearly all her cargo on the 19th
of October, but the Crown Agents have no knowledge of the condition
in which the Machinery taken out by that Vessel reached its
destination.
I have to add that the Admiralty Transport Board shipped a large
quantity of Government Stores by this Vessel.
