The authorities on the neighboring island of St. Helena, some 1,400 miles to the north-east, started a Relief Fund, and a supply of Tristan da Cunha stamps were surcharged "St. Helena Tristan Relief" with a surcharged amount destined for the fund. Unfortunately only the Colonial Office in London could authorize new stamps, a fact clearly unknown to the Governor, and the issue was withdrawn after only one week.

The Chinese fortress and town of Aigun, on the River Amur opposite Blagoveshchensk, was destroyed during the Sino-Russian conflict of 1900 by the Russians, who established a military base in the area and named it Post Saint Mary Magdalen. A FPO is said to have operated there from July 1901 to October 1903. No material known. The post was served by the Amur Steamship Company. This card shows that Post Saint Mary Magdalen continued to be manned throughout the Russo-Japanese War, when its mail was evidently handled on the Russian side of the River Amur at Blagoveshchensk
