Hon. ASSISTANT [OR SECOND ASSISTANT] SECRETARY OF STATE,

Washington, D. C.

SIR: I have to report that on the 10th instant the ship Boston, of New York, bound for this port, took fire at sea in latitude —, longitude miles distant from this port. No passengers were on board. The officers and crew took to the boats, after vain efforts to save the vessel and cargo. They were rescued and brought into this port by the British brig London, John Fox, master, whose conduct on the occasion was such as to lead me to recommend that it be suitably acknowledged by the government of the United States. The details of the loss will be found in the protest of the master, a copy of which is inclosed. The crew are entirely destitute, and have been relieved at this Consulate. They will be returned to the United States by the earliest opportunity.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

Consul.
