Peacock, "China", bearing Gibraltar 25c blue adhesive (Spanish currency issue), cancelled by Gibraltar c.d.s. “GIBRALTAR / A / DE 14 / 93” and barred numeral “2”. Front shows boxed “T” handstamp indicating underpayment under UPU rules, with manuscript “1/–” (1 shilling due) and “6” (pence) in blue crayon – the latter representing the amount chargeable to the addressee. The short payment likely stemmed from use of the Spanish currency stamp rather than British-value postage. The destination “China” was later redirected to Singapore, likely following the fleet’s movement. Reverse bears three Hong Kong c.d.s. (JA 25 / 94) with index letters B, C, and D, reflecting multiple internal processing stages at the Hong Kong General Post Office—due to handling at various time slot of JAN 25 to look for appropriate steamer to ship the mail to Singapore. A scarce taxed naval cover with postal and maritime interest, combining currency discrepancy, UPU taxation, and rare multiple index strikes.

29 January 1880, a cover sent from Hastings, U.K. to a Lieutenant in Singapore redirected to HMS Fly in Hong Kong, affixed 4x 1-penny in brown cancelled by “HASTINGS JA 29 80” where it is found the addressee in absence and returned to UK with manuscript “Returned” and a arrival c.d.s. “PORTSMOUTH AP 6 80”. (“PORTSMOUTH MY 10 80” back in U.K.
The cover was then redirected to the Lieutenant to HMS Fly, Hong Kong, via Portsmouth, Singapore, with departing c.d.s “PORTSMOUTH 10 MY 80”, Singapore c.d.s. (12 June), Hong Kong c.d.s. (20 June), where the mail was further forwarded to Shanghai via Japan P.O. with large double circled “SHANGHAI POSTAL AGENCY JUN 25”, which then further re-directed to the final destiny of Nagasaki, Japan with its c.d.s. “NAGASAKI IJPA JUN 29 –”.
The front side of the mail was cancelled by taxed marks of both “T” and 2-lined deficient payment instructions “VALUE OF STAMPS 4 / SUM TO BE COLLECTED 2”. Standard rate to the Far East from U.K. should be 6d (No concessionary rate be applied in sending to a lieutenant), plus another due charge of circled “DUE 8” – eventually charged 8 cents based on UPU rule, requiring to double the rate of postage to be collected 2d.
A truly excellent mail with plenty of characteristics and application of appropriate instructional markings. Upper left-hand corner is torn and a small part of the flap was lost.
英國赫斯廷斯寄新加坡，轉往駐港軍艦 HMS Fly、上海，送達日本長崎之欠資郵件
1880年1月29日，自英國赫斯廷斯寄往新加坡一位海軍中尉之信封，貼有1便士棕色郵票4枚 “HASTINGS JA 29 80” 日戳銷票。信件抵達新加坡後因收件人不在，被標註手寫“Returned”（退回），並加蓋到達戳“PORTSMOUTH AP 6 80”，隨後於1880年5月10日返回英國樸茨茅斯（Portsmouth），背面蓋有“PORTSMOUTH MY 10 80”日戳。
其後信件被再次轉寄，目的地改為駐香港 HMS Fly 軍艦上的該名中尉，自英國樸茨茅斯於1880年5月10日寄出，途經新加坡（6月12日）、香港（6月20日）。但由日本郵局駐上海代理機構繼續轉送，蓋有大型雙圓戳“SHANGHAI POSTAL AGENCY JUN 25”，最終於6月29日送達日本長崎，加蓋“NAGASAKI IJPA JUN 29”到達戳 – 左上角缺失一小部分。
信封正面蓋有多種欠資與稅款標記，包括單字“T”稅款記號；(2)欠資說明：「VALUE OF STAMPS 4 / SUM TO BE COLLECTED 2」；另加一圓圈手戳“DUE 8”表示實際徵收8分（cents），相當於原欠2便士（2d）的雙倍稅額處理。當時英國至遠東地區之普通信資費為6便士每半盎司，寄往軍官並不享有任何優惠郵資，因而被視為欠資2便士，並依UPU規則收取雙倍欠資，即8分，由收件人繳付。
此郵件歷經新加坡、香港、上海、日本長崎等多地轉遞，展現了十九世紀末海軍與遠東地區間郵政網絡的複雜運作，並具備多項罕見之欠資指示、國際轉遞戳記與教科書式的稅款處理方式，為具高度郵史研究與展示價值的實寄封。
＊信封左上角有撕裂，背面封舌亦缺失一小部分。

The cover was then redirected to the Lieutenant to HMS Fly, Hong Kong, via Portsmouth, Singapore, with departing c.d.s “PORTSMOUTH 10 MY 80”, Singapore c.d.s. (12 June), Hong Kong c.d.s. (20 June), where the mail was further forwarded to Shanghai via Japan P.O. with large double circled “SHANGHAI POSTAL AGENCY JUN 25”, which then further re-directed to the final destiny of Nagasaki, Japan with its c.d.s. “NAGASAKI IJPA JUN 29 –”.
The front side of the mail was cancelled by taxed marks of both “T” and 2-lined deficient payment instructions “VALUE OF STAMPS 4 / SUM TO BE COLLECTED 2”. Standard rate to the Far East from U.K. should be 6d (No concessionary rate be applied in sending to a lieutenant), plus another due charge of circled “DUE 8” – eventually charged 8 cents based on UPU rule, requiring to double the rate of postage to be collected 2d.
A truly excellent mail with plenty of characteristics and application of appropriate instructional markings. Upper left-hand corner is torn and a small part of the flap was lost.
英國赫斯廷斯寄新加坡，轉往駐港軍艦 HMS Fly、上海，送達日本長崎之欠資郵件
1880年1月29日，自英國赫斯廷斯寄往新加坡一位海軍中尉之信封，貼有1便士棕色郵票4枚 “HASTINGS JA 29 80” 日戳銷票。信件抵達新加坡後因收件人不在，被標註手寫“Returned”（退回），並加蓋到達戳“PORTSMOUTH AP 6 80”，隨後於1880年5月10日返回英國樸茨茅斯（Portsmouth），背面蓋有“PORTSMOUTH MY 10 80”日戳。
其後信件被再次轉寄，目的地改為駐香港 HMS Fly 軍艦上的該名中尉，自英國樸茨茅斯於1880年5月10日寄出，途經新加坡（6月12日）、香港（6月20日）。但由日本郵局駐上海代理機構繼續轉送，蓋有大型雙圓戳“SHANGHAI POSTAL AGENCY JUN 25”，最終於6月29日送達日本長崎，加蓋“NAGASAKI IJPA JUN 29”到達戳 – 左上角缺失一小部分。
信封正面蓋有多種欠資與稅款標記，包括單字“T”稅款記號；(2)欠資說明：「VALUE OF STAMPS 4 / SUM TO BE COLLECTED 2」；另加一圓圈手戳“DUE 8”表示實際徵收8分（cents），相當於原欠2便士（2d）的雙倍稅額處理。當時英國至遠東地區之普通信資費為6便士每半盎司，寄往軍官並不享有任何優惠郵資，因而被視為欠資2便士，並依UPU規則收取雙倍欠資，即8分，由收件人繳付。
此郵件歷經新加坡、香港、上海、日本長崎等多地轉遞，展現了十九世紀末海軍與遠東地區間郵政網絡的複雜運作，並具備多項罕見之欠資指示、國際轉遞戳記與教科書式的稅款處理方式，為具高度郵史研究與展示價值的實寄封。
＊信封左上角有撕裂，背面封舌亦缺失一小部分。
