Seaweed,
Thanks for the clarification.
The message (my interpreting the 4 letters against a table of flags), didn't make much sense admittedly, but then I'm very much a landlubber

regards

There are some 26 records of 1881 Crew agreements for NAIAD O/N 23291 here

There is an incomplete database of Crew Agreements of British registered vessels 1881 here

Works better if you include the ships official number.
