regrets that I should do so. This regret is very gratifying, but at

the same time it leaves me with a feeling that I have not really

deserved it and also that my resignation was not justified before

as I feel sure he will, with all success, ever lading it with valuable

cargoes and bringing it happily into port month by month.
