Siebe and Gorman, and Messrs. Heinke and Davis, of London, for much valuable information; and toM essrs. Denayrouze, of Paris, for permitting me to go under water in one of their diving-dresses. Also among many others to Captain John Hewat, formerly Commander in the service of theE ajah of Sarawak, for much interesting material respecting the pirates of theE astern Seas. K. M. B. Edinburgh,
