Excerpt from Reports of Captain L. A. Beardslee, U. S. Navy, Relative to Affairs in Alaska, and the Operations of the U. S. S. Jamestown Under His Command, While in the Waters of That Territory Your course while in command met with the entire approbation of the department, and tended to restore order and preserve peace. The condi tion of the people of all classes in that country, where no law existed, was much improved by the measures adopted by you, and much that you did was the result of your good judgment, as you were required to act promptly and without the advantage of advice or instructions from the department. Your successor in command commends the admirable condition in which he found affairs in Alaska, and attributes it to the wise course pursued by you.
