Summary:
On his last passage down the Red Sea the Captain informed TN of the singular alteration of his chronometers. Comments on this and would like JH's views. Magnetic station at Aden has never been set up and the instruments are still at Bombay. Examined the ancient canal while at Suez. Will be pleased to assist JH in any way.
