NAVY YARD, NEW fohk, May -, 1881
SIR: have the honor to acknowledge the receipt
Of your letter of the 18th instant.
In order to understand the case of the Eugene"
fully, beg leave respectfully 10 refer you TO my
Ieller 10 the Navy Department Of the 10th of last
November, and the accompanying Statement"
drawn up for the guidance and assistance Of Mr..
Pommares, our Vice Consul al Vera Cruz, the
original Of which, certified TO by Acting Master
Reilly and Third Assistant Engineer Maury, form
erY nidshlpman, is IN my hands.
The captain of the Eugene" having, as you
will perceive, given up the charge of his vessel TO
me- while she was the reef after getting her OIL
lowed her up TO my anchorage at the island OF
Sacriicios and addressed note 10 the coDsignee,
informing him that, as | thought the Eugene
was case Of salvage, lad detained her until !
could hear from him on the subj Ct Thirty hours
having elapsed without receiving an answer, had
already resolved to let the captain resume the
charge OF her, when ] received note from the con-
sIgnees saying that he could not act IN the natter
as the vessel was not yet IN port; and at the same
moment, the captain Of the "EugenIe" coming on
i,oard, returned the vessel TO hum,
As regards the circumstances" Of MIR. Lavalee,
and the Intervention" Of the American consul, /
never received nor heard of any Of the former and
while would not wish to Imphcate Mr. Pommares,
| could show that he enureiy approved OF the de-
trntiom Of the Eugene" though he Immediately
afterwards made arrangements with the collector
for securing The cargo, thar the vessel might come
to town, 80 that Il salvage were pvared We should
receive the full amount.
MIR Clifford, our Minister M Mexlco, was of
opinion that ] right N Supposng Il a case Of
salvage; and presume it had not occurred TO him,
or To- The Navy Department, judging from my con-
verSatlons with him. and their answer to my letter
thai had acted exceptionally on the occasion.
My own opinion then was, and still is, that II
was case OF salvage. The vessel utterly
poweress to help herself, had sought our assistance,
and was in position where, If the prevailing wind
OF The season had sprung up, Of which there were
some Of the usual signs, she must have been en-
urely lusL OF course, under such cIrcumsta noes,
urged my officers and men to the promptesl and
most energetic exertons, and willing after
words as a measure Of policy well rs justice, to
obtain salvage tor Them My only object in detain-
ing the Eugene" was 10 confer with the consignee,
and as far as possible selle the premInaries; but
when found that there was difference OF opinion
on shore as 10 whether IL was a case of salvage,
and that the merchants were very impatient of their
| freight, on account Of fair which was to take
place. the articles for whh we're on board the
Eugenie, FASTENED 10 restore her to the captain
| and assisted him 10 get her 70 town.

that the vessel was ashore on the south of Angola

Sin: Some mention having been made in the pa
pers, | understand, of the rescue Of the French
bark "Eugenie'' from the reefs of Anton LizarIo
by the officers and crew of this vessel, and my
course having been scandalized in some of the
Mexican prints, deem it TO be my duty to employ
my first leisure in putting the Department in pos
session of the facts of the case For this purpose
enclose a copy of the statement which was drawn
up at the time for the information of our vice con-
sui at Vera Cruz, Mr.. J. M. Pommares, who
authorized TO conduct the inquiry into The case as
one of salvage My own impression was that il
clear case Of salvage.
Accordingly when l had rescued the bark an
chored her at my anchorage at Sacrifcios until
could communicate with the consgnee, SeiIor Go
mez Y Gomez, at Vera Cruz hut Mr.. Gomez being
diatory in answering my letter, and the bark hav-
ing already been detained thirty hours by me,
determined 10 et her proceed TO port, and accord
ngly gave her up TO the charge Of her captain.
Just Mt this moment J received letter from Mr..
Gomez stating that he could mol act consignee
until the vessel came into port. For two or three
days was fatersd with the expectation of receiv-
ing salvage; but by the laws Of Mexico, as was
at length assured by Mr.. Pommares, salvage can
only accrue where the vessel is wrecked, bllged, or
broken and as the majority seemed to be of Opin-
ion that it was not case of salvage, | ceased to
pursue the matter, and requested Mr. Pommares to
let it be dropped. Meanwhile, intelligence of what
had occurred reached the city Of Mexico, where it
produced quite sensation but so soon MIR.
Clifford could look into it, moved only by justice to
me and the honor Of his country, the tide was
turned, as he clearly proved to the French Minis
ter as others well acquainted with the laws of
merce had already Tried to do, that it was an un-
doubted case Of salvage, and that we were fully
entitled to all that is usually allowed in such cases.
Mr.. Clifford was glad, however, that had adopted
the course stated above, and promptly ceased to
urge question of doubt, particularly as was on
duty connected with him. have no doubt that all
distress OF the Captain of the Euegne, who saw, in
the penalty he had incurred of salvage, probable
termination of his career with the underwriters A
glance at the chart will show you how inexcusable
was his conduct in running his vessel from the
south side of Angola Fuera directly for Anton
Lizardo.
