... 800 0 0 Sicce Rupees ... 1405 129
I have onlcnlated the Wear and Tear upon a-Bapposition that the vessel may want every 6 Months a Sait of Sails and a Cable and Anchors which I think is as little as can possibly be allowod for, if she does not want them, she will other things that will come to the same renta.
Agreed that the Nautilus Brig be fredghted by Government for 650 Sioca Rupees per Mengem, that the Establishment proposed by Major Kyd for the Vessel be kept up on account of the Company; and that the necessary Orders in consequence be sent to the Acting Marine Pay Master by the Secretary.

Superintondant at the Andamans 7th Oott To Edward Hey Esqr. Secretary to the Government.
Sit, - Accompanying I have the honor of transmitting you a letter from Lieutenant Wells in charge of the Settlement at the Andamans which I have just received by the Union Brig: - also the Surgeons Reports of Sick for the Months of July Augast and September which papers I request you will be so good as to lay before the Board for their Information Respecting the state of the Settlement.
I am very happy to have it in my power to acquaint the Board that by my private letters from Mr. Wells and Mr. Wood, I learn that the alarming Sion , which provailed during the first part of the Rainy season has been very much got under and there is very great hopes that on the expected Retarning fair Weather, the Settlers will again be healthy.
You will perceive by. Lieutenant Wells's letter that some part of the Provisions last indented for had not been received, this was Owing to the Seahorse, being unable to bare (no) the whole, and the remaining part is now in .chango: of the Acting Commissary of Supplies ready to be sent by the first opportunity.
