Sir,
Referring to my Despatch No 85 dated 14th October 1864 reporting

Sound, I have now the honor to transmit the copy of a Report from
Lieutenant Hankin R.N., Superintendent of Police,whom
whom I lately had
occasion to send to that place.
whom I lately had
occasion to send to that place.
You will observe from the tenour
of Mr Hankin's Report that the
example which it was unhappily found necessary to make last year has
not been without good effects and that there is every hope that the
Indians at Clayoquot Sound will for the future abstain from outrages
which brought the severe punishment upon them.
I enclose Lieutenant Hankin's Report
in extenso as it contains information which may be newand
and
interesting to you.

Documents enclosed with the main document (not transcribed)

reporting in detail on his recent expedition to the native
villages on the west coast of Vancouver Island (ten pages).
