Letter
Richards , Manager Pilot Company to Mr. Richards, September 30, 1874
[Inclosure 4 in No. 69.]
Mr. Rennell to Mr. Richards.
Harbor-Master’s Office, New-chwang, September 30, 1874.
Sir: I have very carefully considered the case of Pilot Haliday, lately guilty of misconduct, for which consular punishment has been inflicted.
Under all the circumstances, I do not believe that the ends for which I have been invested with power in such matters would be obtained did I fail to exercise them as against an individual acting in a manner which must tend to discredit a body of public servants in whom, as being placed under my orders, I am officially interested.
I, therefore, by virtue of my authority as harbor-master, suspend Mr. Haliday from his office as pilot; and, pending a reference which I shall make to another quarter, retain his license in my possession.
I am, &c.,
- T. B. RENNELL, Harbor-Master.
- Mr. G. C. Richards, Manager Pilot Company.
