'Sir, I have the honour to acquaint you that, in pursuance of your orders, I proceeded on the 23rd ultimo to our cruising-ground between Kenlinge and the Kokar Rocks, and on the 26th captured the Russian brigantine Fogle, of 220 tons, and quite a new vessel, built at Abo in 1854, at anchor off a group of islands to the southeastward of Stor Sattunga. I then proceeded to the southward, among a dense group of islands and rocks not marked in the chart, and on the 29th, at 10 o'clock P.M., my boards captured a brigantine, name unknown, of 200 tons, under Russian colours, and built at Abo in 1852, but so surrounded by rocks and shoals that it was not until 11 o'clock P.M. on the next day they succeeded, after great labour, in bringing her out and alongside. ---Stor Sattunga appears to be the headquarters of the Russian police, who have dogged me about from place to place with wonderful pertinacity, always appearing whenever we landed, and preventing the inhabitants from selling us the smallest supplies even of milk or eggs.'
