     Sir, 
     
    

    
     I have the honor to transmit to you the enclosed copy 
     
     of a statement made by the master ofa ship " Norwood,” 
     
     of Newport, relative to the services rendered to himself, 
     
     and the crew of that vessel, by the ship 9‘ L. C. Owen,” 
     
     of Prince Edward Island. 
     
    

    
     In forwarding to me this statement, the Lords of the 
     
     Committee of Privy Council for Trade inform me. that 
     
     they have awarded a Sextant to Captain Angus Brown, 
     
     of the “ L. C. Owen,” in acknowledgement of his hu— 
     
     manity to British Seamen in distress. and I have much 
     
     pleasure in forwarding to you their Sextant for pre- 
     
     sentation to Captain Browzi, in such manner as you 
     
     may think fit. 
     
    

    
     I may add that the Board of Trade have paid a sum 
     
     of £79 16s. 0d., to reimburse the owners of the “ L. 0. 
     
     Owen” for the losses they sustained in subsisting the res- 
     
     cued crew 'on board their vessel, and in payment to 
     
     them of the value of a quantity of barley which had to 
     
     be thrown overboard in order to make room for the res- 
     
     cued persons.

     I hereby certify that myself”, 23“'seamen, and‘one cabin 
     
     passenger, 25 in all, were picked up from the ship 
     
     “ Norweod,” at sea, water logged. \Ve were picked up 
     
     by the ship “L. C. Owen,” captain Angus Brown, on 
     
     the 25th November, 1867, at which time it was blowing 
     
     a very heaVy gale of wind, and a very high sea. The 
     
     “ L. C. Owen ” was hove to 30 hours waiting an oppor- 
     
     tunity to take us from the wreck; captain A. Brown ran 
     
     great risk of losing his Boat, and Boat’s crew, but suc- 
     
     ceeded in rescuing all hands without loss of life, but got 
     
     his Boat slightly. damaged. and lost six oars. . 
     
    

    
     November 27th : We fell in with the barque “Rosma,” 
     
     of Pool, bound to Fowey, and the “L. C. Owen,” not 
     
     having sufficient provisions and water on board for so 
     
     many people, eight of the “ Norwood’s ” men were put 
     
     on board the said barque. 
     
    

    
     November 30th : We fell in with the barque “Agnes,” 
     
     of Maitland. bound for London. and owing to our.pro- 
     
     Visions and water getting scarce, and contrary Winds, 
     
     seven more of the " Norwood’s ” men were put on 
     
     board the “ L. C. Owen,” bound for Havre, where we 
     
     arrived on the 12th ofDecember.1867. The “L.C.Owen” 
     
     was put in quarantine till the 16th, when she was cleared. 
     
     We then went on shore to the Consul.
