boat, which lands at all the river post offices :
not missed till of the 18th. We in
formed by the Posi- Master here that the whose
duty il is bring the mails TO the New York Post Office
states that he found the mail bags lying on the deck
OF the boat, the officer in whose room they we're
usually placed for safeguard, having retired to his
berth and len them on the deck. instead Of retain
ing them in his ROOM and delivering them to the post
onice porter when the boat arrived The pouch
spoken of in Mr. Morris letter was not among them

ing The mail must have been taken of in the interval
between the landing and the arrival of the porter from
