11/4/94

Am afraid, dear Mr Macdonald, that I should be unable to hunt up the information sought by you, as in my narrow working space, any thing not required frequently, is stored away and very difficult of acess. I believe, Mr Lindt would remember the "Sandfly-catastrophe", as he was — I think — about that time in New Guinea.

M reported in M to A. Macdonald, 20 April 1894, that he had been mistaken about the location of the killing of the commanding officer of HMS Sandfly.

Kindly see me, before you go to WA

Regardfully your

Ferd. von Mueller
