The subscriber constituted agent and correspondent for the
committee for managing the affairs at Lloyd's, hereby notifies all
ship masters, consignees of ships, or merchandise, and others whom
it may concern, that he is authorized and instructed to take
information of all losses or accidents that may occur within the
Gulf and River St. Lawrence, whereby the interest of the
underwriters may, in any manner, be affected; and to make a report
of the same to the said committee, and it is requested, on the
behalf of the said underwriters, that all branch pilots, for the
River St. Lawrence, will communicate to the subscriber all such
information respecting wrecks and vessels stranded within the said
River and Gulf of St. Lawrence, as may come to their knowledge, in
order that future impositions be detected and sacrifices of the
property belonging to the underwriters (when such may occur) be
thoroughly understood and posted at Lloyd's, the subscriber being
the sole channel through which any such information can be
officially received at Lloyd's. It is also recommended to any ship
masters to whose vessels, or the merchandise therein laden, any
accident or damage may happen, to make the most speedy report of
the same to the subscriber, who, with the more able assistance of
a senior professional friend, will prescribe such method of
proceeding as the law and the exigence of the case may require, in
order that future claims upon the underwriters, at Lloyd's, be
fairly adjusted or contested according to their respective merits. |
