APPENDIX. 
J. H. Williams, United States Consul there, all the provisions and stores 
named in the list herewith marked " for Sydney," taking receipts for 
them, which you will leave enclosed for me, and request him to have 
one hundred barrels of the flour (reserving the kiln-dried) baked into 
hard bread, for the squadron, as soon as convenient. 
After landing all the articles at Sydney, you will take on board 
sufficient ballast, and proceed, via Cape Horn, to the United States, 
stopping at Rio de Janeiro if you require any provisions, stores, or 
slop clothing, which you will obtain by requisitions on the navy store- 
keeper there. You will not remain at Rio de Janeiro over ten days, 
and will proceed to Norfolk or New York, the latter if the season will 
permit, to enable you to dispose of the specimens, in regard to which 
you have separate orders enclosed, and to which I request your par- 
ticular attention. 
You will take charge of, and send to the Navy Department, the 
log-books of the squadron sent home by you. 
You will, during the cruise, take on board the Relief, and ship, all 
distressed American seamen whom you may meet with. 
On your arrival in the United States, you will show these orders 
to the commander of the station, and report, by letter through him, to 
the Honourable the Secretary of the Navy, enclosing him a copy of 
them. As he has been requested to direct the payment of your 
officers and crew by the purser of the station, to whom you will 
deliver the rolls and accounts, with a statement of the money and 
slops advanced by you, that the same may be checked, taking 
receipts for the same, as offsets to the amount furnished you here in 
money and slop clothing. 
You will keep a correct muster-roll of your officers and crew, 
noting any changes 
You will require from the officers all their journals, specimens, &c, 
agreeably to the instructions of the Navy Deparment ; all of which 
you will box up and deposit at the Navy Department. 
I enclose letters for the Consuls at the Sandwich Islands, and 
Sydney. Any expenses they may incur on the stores will be refunded 
on my arrival. 
Should the Consul and Vice-Consul at Sydney be absent, you will 
call on Messrs. Edwards and Hunt. 
If possible, you will anchor in the inner harbour at Oahu. 
You will leave for me, with the Consul at Sydney, a report of your 
cruise from this place to Sydney ; and you will, on your arrival at
