Harbor of Port Royal,

___ Jamaica. 29th Nov. 1869. j

undersigned, passengers on board

the American schooner Lady Woodbury, Capt

Woodbury, last from the port of St. Nicholas

le Mole, m Hayti, to J amaica, desire, on leav

ing the schooner, to record our sense of the

kindness and attention we have received from

Capt Woodbury, his chief officer, Mr. Conner,

and men of the schooner. Compelled to leave

the Bntish steamer TwiukHng Star, at St.

Nicholas le Mole, wbitber she put in owing to

her disabled condition, we sent out a boat, with

a flag ot distress, in the open sea, to seek for

assistance, and the alacrity and kindness with

which Capt. Woodbury came to the assistance

of the steamer and passengers on board, de

serve our warmest gratitude. The schooner

Lady Woodbury has brought us to-day a dis

tance of 270 miles, in 24 hours, a run of speed

which has astonished and gratified us. We

are now about to quit the little vessel, and in

the fullness of our grateful hearts, we tender

to Capt. Woodbury and his men our hearty

thanks for all their kindness to us; and we

pray that God may bless and preserve them

and their noble little craft from the perils of

the deep, and grant prosperity to their under

takings. A. Gregg, U. S. Consul,

Kingston, Jamaica.

D. P. Nathan, Solicitor at Law,

Jamaica.

Abraham Myers, Agent for

Owners of Twinkling Star.

S. L. Mendes, Passenger.

To S. A. Woodbury, Master. I
