The purpose of these communications were to establish conditions that needed to be met for authorization to be granted for the Chinese settlers to disembark.

Ultimately, the final document in this selection reveals that the settlers were eventually let off the ship two days later, and were taken into a police station for examinations. "Norway"- 1860.
