" Marobert, Zambesi, filet lowa 1858.—My dear Sir,—As
Ten *Woo doubt feel anxious to beer how we got on with
the launch, I arn happy to be able to inform you that we en-
tered what has becelled West Lsabo (properly Loan) en
the 15th of May, and, lading s toe safe harbour, we peoesedsd
at once to take out the thne compartment,. of the Marobert
from the Pearl. The first day was sufficient for getting
her into the water and patting her together by the admirable
sod simple contrive:los your eon invented. We had only to

and, drawing It to the middle section, the bolts slipped la
with the pealed ease ; and on the evening of the third day
she was ready to act as pilot to the larger morel, and has
been doing admirable service ever since. She glee pull eg
away on this great Zambesi now, to the infinite disgust of
the hippopotami, whole herds of which rash off pell-mell as
nos as we approach them, and the crustiest old bachelor
among them dares not to do her battle. It I.ollld be an
immense boon if government would sand oat such
veseela to run ep creeks and rivers, and chase slavers, in-
stead of taking it out of the poor sailors museles at the tor,
but you would require to make them broader than this,
and sot quite so long ; the length might be borne with if
they were four or fire hot broader, and so objection
would be taken to this, as the men of war would carry
them with ease between ninth Allow me also to Nigger,
