S.S. "Nelson,"
12th June, 1854.
SIR—In answer to your letter of the 6th instant, I beg to state that having given the Pakawau Coals a trial, I find a portion of them of good quality; I should think about one-half of those which I tried were of an inferior description. When put in the fire they burn well, with a strong clear flame; but they leave so much residue that the furnaces require to be cleaned out very often. Steam can easily be got up with them, but it would be very difficult to keep a constant supply for twenty-four hours.
I think that if the good coals were carefully separated from shale and inferior coals, they would answer our purpose well.
I remain, sir,
Your most obedient servant,
ALEXANDER MACNAB.
