showeth: That the memorialist has purchased
the Arctic vessel Pandora and will fit her out
and man her, at his own cost and expense,

| to enforce discipline In cases of extreme emer
| gency.
Your memorialist further requests that the
| United States Government may be authorized
| by your honorable bodies to give its aid and
cOuntenance to the enterprise and 10 afford
such assistance as may appear advisable.
And your memoralist VIII ever pray, etc,
