Board Trade No 2223 Reptd 23 Feby 1859 Marine Dept 126
Referred to Wm Farrer Capt Robertson

Vessel "Australian" Killingholme Coastguard for Expenses

The "Australian" sunk in the Humber on the 16 Decb last
a little above Killingholme and as soon as the officer and men
of the Killingholme Coast Guard Station became acquainted
therewith they immediately proceeded to her to afford such as-
-sistance as might be in their power - and also to protect the
Revenue should there be any goods subject to duty.

They saved some four articles of Sails, Gear &c
and also one box of oranges which was sent to the Custom
House.

The other duty performed by the Coast Guard Officers
was for protection of Revenue, as you directed Mr Saxelbye
who is Receiver of Wreck for the River Humber per letter dated
22 Decb 1858 No 13380 not to interfere.

Duplicate claims were not delivered
to Mr Saxelbye or to me. The Captain of the "Cornwallis" the Coast
Guard Ship in the Humber is best able to state whether the duty
was performed for which allowances are covered by the annexed
papers.
