return to India. In bidding farewell to the Navy over which,
during the last five years, I have held the chief command, I
cannot but express my regret at the termination of my con
nection with so honourable and valuable a Service, for the
members of which I shall always entertain sentiments of the
highest regard and esteem Without particularising the occa
sions on which the Service has distinguished itself in an especial
manner during this period, I can say without flattery that the
duties required of it have invariably been well and faithfully
performed, and the condition of the vessels such as to reflect
the greatest credit upon both officers and men, and to merit
my warmest approbation. To the secretary .and members of my
office establishment and to the officers of the dockvard, I would
desire to express my best thanks for the cordial assistance I
have always received from them, and for the satisfactory
manner in which their respective duties have been conducted.
request you will do me the favour to make known these
sentiments to the Service at large.' "

his broad pennant as Commodore and Commander-in-chief on
board the 'Ajdaha;' and Captain Young, C.B., was directed by
b-overnment Order to continue 44 to conduct the duties of As
sistant Superintendent and Dockmaster, and to superintend
the duties more particularly connected with the Dockyard and
Steam Establishment. With the departure of Commodore
Wellesley, in June, the Service entered upon its last phase, that
of dissolution.
1 he 4 i erooz and 4 Semiramis/ which arrived from Suez and
Aden on the 4th of May, were retained in commission, the
former being intended for the Governor-General's personal use,
and the latter to relieve the 'Zenobia'at Aden, until the ar
rangements regarding the introduction of ships of the Royal
Navy were complete. The 4 Victoria,' from Aden on the 30th
of May, was condemned to be sold, but continued to be em
ployed until the abolition of the Service, under the command
of Lieutenant Chitty; the 4 Auckland,' Commander Fraser, which
arrived from the Laccadive Islands on the 13th of May, was
converted into a "harbour defence vessel." Other ships,
temporarily retained in commission, were the 4 Berenice,' Lieu
