It was to be his last political service for the East India Company. The party included Adoniram Judson as interpreter and Nathaniel Wallich as botanist. Crawfurd's journey to Ava up the River Irrawaddy was by paddle steamer, the Diana. The mission was a success with Crawfurd negotiating a valuable trade treaty.
