APPENDIX. 
ment whatever could be concluded without the full and en¬ 
tire consent of the Mosquitians, and Mr. Martin replied that 
he would call together the Executive Council for that pur¬ 
pose. 
After careful consideration of his movements in the inte¬ 
rior, Captain Pirn fixed the 20th April as the date when he 
could meet the Executive Council at Blewfields, and Mr. 
Martin agreed to call them together at that time. 
Mr. Martin said that he required some money, and Cap¬ 
tain Pirn gave him a sum between $100 and $150. 
On Captain PinPs arrival at Greytown on the 24th April, 
1867, he found that Mr. Martin had made no attempt to call 
the Executive Council together, he had not been to Blew- 
fields since last May (eleven months) and had not seen his 
charge, the young chief, from that date. Captain Pirn was 
naturally angry at this combined neglect of important inter¬

the Nicaraguan Government was taking active steps in the 
Mosquito question, and had appointed two eminent men, viz. 
General Martinez and Don Antonio Silva, to proceed to 
London at once; the first as minister, the second as secre¬

which information ought, of course, to be made known m 
Mosquito immediately, so that steps might be taken to re¬ 
present Mosquito also, in London. 
Captain Pirn spoke very plainly both to Mr. Green and 
Mr. Martin in respect to these matters, and on the evening 
of the 25th, started for Blewfields in the “ Messenger,” by 
which opportunity Mr. Martin had sent the proclamation 
quite unknown to Captain Pirn, and which he considered 
the first resolution dealt with in a very proper manner and 
spirit. 
Captain Pirn requested Mr. Green and Mr. Martin to 
accompany him in the “ Messenger ” to Blewfields, but the 
former said that he could not come, and the latter stated 
that he had an auction to attend to. 
Captain Pirn said that he could not conclude without
