First sentence: As soon as it was decided that Mr. Brooke was to go out as Governor of Labuan, Lord Auckland, with his usual kindness and consideration, concluded that an old friend acquainted with the locality, and feeling an interest in Bornean affairs, might be of more assistance in forming the new settlement than a stranger; I was in consequence, on the 1st of November, 1847, appointed to the Maeander, 44 guns, at Chatham.
