 By Captain Fenwick. Communicated by order of the Hon'ble the 



LlEUT.-GoVERNOR, N. W. P. 



No. 127 of 1849. 



From A. Shakespear, Esq., Asst. Secy, to the Government, N. W. P. 



To the Secretary Asiatic Society, Calcutta. 



Bated Agra, the 1st Feb. 1849. 

 General Department, N. W. P. 



Sir, — In continuation of the letter to you from this Department, 

 No. 746, dated the 31st May last, I am directed to forward, for sub- 

 mission to the Asiatic Society, a copy of Captain Fenwick 5 s Journal of 

 his passage down the Nerbudda, from Chikuldah to Baroach, in charge 

 of boats laden with coal. 



2nd. I am desired at the same time to forward the accompanying 

 copy of an abstract of the two Journals which has been prepared in this 

 office, and contains a notice of the most important obstructions to the 

 navigation, which are met with in the course of the river. The matter 

 contained in the Journals has not been found sufficiently full or con- 

 nected to admit of the compilation of a clearer narrative. 



3rd. It is probable that the Society may not consider Captain 

 Fenwick' s Journal, or even the abstract, sufficiently important to merit 

 publication, yet as much regarding the navigation of the Nerbudda has 

 already appeared in the Society's Journal, the Lieutenant-Governor is 

 desirous to place on the records of the Society, the fullest information 

 upon the subject, and hopes that some prominent notice of Captain 

 Fenwick' s passage and of its result may appear in the Journal. 



I have the honour to be, Sir, 



Your must obedient servant, 



A. Shakespear, 

 Asst. Secy, to the Govt. N. W. P.
