Dear Sir,
With reference to your kind letter of the 19th
June and our acknowledgement of the 20th June, wherein you
enclosed 4 very appreciative letters to 4 Captains of the
Tyne-Tees Steam Shipping Company's vessels who took part in
the evacuation of Dunkirk, a rather curious position has
arisen.
The Captains of our ships in three instances
have been changed since the date named and are now masters
of other vessels. The letters are of great value to the
Officers concerned. We have had them framed with the object
of hanging them in the particular ships, but the actual
master of the vessel not being now on these ships, does not
have possession of the letter although it has been read over
to him.
We are wondering if, in these circumstances
it would be at all possible for you to kindly consider
letting us have 4 extra copies for the use of the Masters
only. We trust we are not asking too much, and would
like your valued opinion on this question.
Yours faithfully,
For and en behalf of

Dear Sir,
We thank you for your kind letter of the 19th instant,
enclosing separate letters to each Captain of the Tyne-Tees
Steam Shipping Company's vessels who took part in the recent
evacuation from Dunkirk.
These letters will be handed over to the Officers
concerned, and we are quite sure the sentiments expressed
therein will be very highly valued by the Officers and Crews.
We would mention that the four ships to whose Masters
you have addressed letters were the only ones taking part in
the evacuation, so that there is no omission. The name of
the BEAL's Captain was Liley, not "Miley", and we have therefore
corrected the spelling of the Captain's name in this instance.
If we may be allowed to say so, all our Officers and
Crews feel very proud that they were able to take part with
their small vessels in the evacuation from Dunkirk.

on Thursday, June 6th, which he has found very interesting reading.
Sir Arthur encloses some notes sent to him by the Manager of
one of his Companies, the Tyne-Tees s.s.Co.Ltd., regarding work done
by two of this Company's vessels in the evacuation from Dunkirk, which
he has no doubt will be interesting to the Minister of Shipping.
Sir Arthur has already written a personal letter to each of the
men congratulating them on their bravery and success.

NOTES FOR THE CHAIRMAN, SIR ARTHUR M. SUTHERLAND, BART. K.B.E.
m.v. "BEAL"
This vessel made one trip assisting in the Dunkirk evacuation.
Crew list attached. She brought back a full load of troops. An A.B.,
A.D.C.Hall of 33, Normount Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, swam a considerable
distance to the shore with a line attached to his body in order to make
arrangements for towing off boats. The Bo'sun, .Storey of 12, Ransome
Crescent, Macton Estate, Ipswich, and the 2nd Engineer, W.G. Shaw, 77
Farndale Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, made many trips in the ship's life-boat
doing valuable service.
m.v. "SANDHILL"
This vessel arrived at Dunkirk on Friday, 24th May, with a cargo
of about 940 tons of high explosives. There were no electric cranes
available and the vessel had to discharge with her own gear. A large
proportion of the cargo was discharged under heavy air raids before the
vessel was finally ordered to leave Dunkirk. The whole crew behaved
splendidly and the Captain especially mentioned the Chief Officer, Mr D.K.
Wright, whose address is c/o Mrs Relf, 30, South Road, Newhaven, Sussex. Crew
list attached.
The draft of the "Foremost 22" is 13 feet aft. and the
tide was ebb, it being about 2½ hours after high water.
When I arrived in Dunkerque Roads there were a large
number of other vessels in the vicinity, both large and small.
There was some confusion owing to the heavy bombardment
from the shore and the activity of hostile aircraft.
Just after 11 p.m. I heard the sound of a heavy
collision close to my vessel.
