13th. Cape Charles. A vessel from Canada, consigned to Mr. F. Beminster, was entered and duties paid. At this place I gave a commission to Mr. Joseph R. Taylor, as Preventive Officer.
29th. At 10 p.m. saw a vessel coming in, which on boarding, I found to be the “Emblem,” Green, master, a trader from Halifax, which had evaded us when down south.
I remained on board all night and in the morning, put an officer on board, when the captain came and entered and paid duties.
5th. [October]. Left Henly Harbor, and arrived at St. John's, on the 11th.
The duties of this officer were therefore arduous and responsible, and I have much pleasure in being able to report on the satisfactory manner in which he discharged them, and to testifying, not only to his competency and ability as an officer, but also to his energy and perseverance in carrying out the work entrusted to him.
I have, etc.,
(Signed) J. WINTER,
Collector,
Labrador.
