The one greet object ou which this nation, with all its ener gies, is now bent is undoubtedly the vigorous prosecution of the war—a phrase which might be stereotyped to express the purpose uppermost and dominant in every man's mind. By the vigorous prosecution of the war is meant the execution of such operations as will bring the enemy to reason, and these operations may again be more specifically described as the car ture of Sebastopol or the destruction of the fortifications of Cronstadt. To accomplish these objects we are despatching fleet after fleet and battalion after battalion at such a cost in the aggregate as almost to double the ordinary expenditure of the State. Two or three years ago the national expend turn was under 50 millions ; it is this year estimated at 86 millions, and the reckoning is not likely to be far above the mark. Such being the state of things, it certainly seems worth con sideration that a certain person has offered to do all we want at a comparatively insignificant expense—to take or destroy out of hand Sebastopol, Cronstadt, and Helsingfors, and thus at once accomplish those feats of arms which are alone ex pected to open the road to victory and peace. Well, the questions arising out of such a proposition arc natural and obvious enough. Who is the mau that makes offerthe ? Him does he mean to go to work, and how much e 3, does he require for his preparations? Is there any chance that he can do wh a t h e says ? Is his offer worth lis l( toning to, or should we b e on l y spending- so much more and getting no good after all ? O n some of these points it is clear that nothing short of th e experiment itself cou ld f urn i s h a conclusive answer ; on others there is room for a little argu ment. The person making the offer is none other than Lord Dundonald ; he has submitted his projects to the authorities, and they are " under consideration." Perhaps this may seem about as much as could well be done, but a good deal depends upon the kind of " consideration' which such a proposal re ceives, and we call fancy such a. ease, even if substantial in itself, might be rather hard to demonstrate otherwise than by actual trial. The word " practicability" admits of great lati tude of isterpretation, and what is impracticable in one man's eyes may be proved perfectly practicable in the hands of an other. If Lord Dundonald is calculating on any particular agencies to accomplish things beyond the known powers of such agencies there would be an end of the matter ; but, sup posing the case to be otherwise, it certainly appears to us a question how far the reputation of the projector, taken in connexion with the circumstances of the conjuncture, might justify the acceptance of the risk by way of venture. No doubt, the proaosal smacks of quackery, but the rules of science are manifestly at fault, and it is just here that something beyond comes in. We have not succeeded in taking either Sebastopol or Cronstadt seeundum artem, and there is room therefore for a little irregular practice. Neither can we deny that the nature of the project is somewhat un luckily characterised. The command of destructive agencies beyond ordinary strength, or of such powers as will suffice in some way to demolish the most impregnable-looking fortifi cations, is precisely the secret to which projectors most com monly lay claim, and the very suggestion of "long ranges" and so forth is enough to excite incredulity. But the de struction of fortifications happens to be the particular object we have in view, and consequently proposals to serve us must needs take this turn. Moreover, although scientific men may be naturally suspicious of extra-scientific discoveries, they must at least admit this,—that there is ample room for them, and that nothing is less finite than the domain of their own science. On the other hand, if thevo is a man in tho whole world who fought to be listened to with more attention than another when he promises extraordinary things, it is certainly Lord Dundonald, for his whole life exhibits a series of achievements coming under this very category. If his present plans are pronounced " impracticable " he can very truly say that half the things he has done would have been regarded in a similar light, but that he did them nevertheless. Suppose, for in stance, he had offered with a single ship or two, and those scarcely seaworthy, to sweep the whole Spanish navy from the American waters, or to set up republics and empires as easily as we set up factories or graving-docks, would those plans have been considered " practicabie ?" Lord Dun dona!d's reputaiton has been earned, not merely by gal lantry and fearlessness, not merely by professional skill and ability, but by the performance of things nearly resem bling impossibilities—i. e., by success iu exploits like that which he offers to take in hand now. Supposing his offer accepted, let us consider the results which may occur. It is undoubtedly possible—perhaps wo had better say probable that he would find he had miscalcu lated his means, and would fail. In this case we should have lost a ccrtain sum of money, and perhaps got laughed at ; but there is the worst of the matter. As to the ridicule, we were charged in the last war with breaking windows with guineas, but failure in one way is much the same as failure in another, or perhaps the less the risk the smaller the disappointment. The money, therefore, would be the main consideration, for, if we recollect rightly, it is one of the conditions of the scheme that human life is not to enter into the venture. Now, the prosecution of the war, or, in other words, the expeditions for the capture or destruction, of the Baltic and Black Sea strongholds, arc now costing us something like 30 millions a-year—not to mention the more fearful venture of human life ; is it worth while to mak e this sum 31 millions for one twelvemonth, upon the speculation of stopping the drain alto gether? That seems to be about the question, unless, in deed, the project is so plainly impracticable as to put the pro jector out of court. Of course, it is the duty of Government to look carefully after the public money and the public credit, nor would it yield a very agreeable prospect for taxpayers if every confident inventor was to have the run of the public purse for his experiments ; but, in the consideration of what is or is not " practicable, some regard, we think, might be fairly paid to the peculiar character of Lord Dundonald's re putation, and to the difficulty of measuring extraordinary projects by ordinary rules. Two mighty nations are now en gaged in undertakings which one man offers to accomplish by himself, at an infinite saving of cost. His offer may certainly be worthless, but, if ever so valuable, it is not likely to be much in accordauca with preconceptions, precedents, or rules. shore to - save the lives of the passengers, anelhey did their best to do so. The confusion was very great, and they could nos get the boats off on account of the number and state of the passengers. There might have been at that time two feet of water on the upper deck. The master did everything in his powcr,to assist the passengers up the rigging to save their lives. On further examination deponent stated that the captain went below after the Light was reported and the course altered, which was about an hour before the vessel struck ; does not believe the master, any more than himFelf, had any apprehension of danger till the vessel struck. The captain, helmsman, and the rest of the crew were sober; neither were they the worse for liquor on leaving the Sound. Deponent has had charge of watch . FeYen years, and knows the compass, but nothing of navigation, though he can take a bearing ; heard the captain order a good look-out to be kept for lights. Con siders be behaved with coolness after the vessel struck, and that the boats were stove owing to the confusion and motion which prevailed. Can give no account how the accident happened. Considers it lucky the boats were smashed, as otherwise all would probably Lave been drowned. The investigation will be resumed to-morrow at 12 o'clock, NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Belleisle hospital-ship, Commander Hosken, ar rived at Spithead yesterday morning from Plymouth, on her voyage to the Baltic, and will proceed as soon as she has shipped supernmeerariEs, parcel,, &c , for the fleet. The Centaur, 6, paddle frigate, Captain Clifford, , was ordered to prepare for sea suddenly on Thursday night, and she left last evening for the Black Sea (it is believed), Calling at Plymouth. The Fancy and Clinker steam gun-boats went into Portsmouth harbour ye,ter day morning from Spithead to replenish their stock of coals. The Jasper steam gun-boat made a trial of her engines yesterday at Stoke's Bay. The Grinder new steam gun-boat adjusted her compasses in Portsmouth harbour yesterday. There are more pennants now at Spithead than there were on the day the bulk of the Baltic fleet left that anchorage. These are now reported to leave on the 16th for sea. The Chapman sailing transport (No. 118), Capt. Morgan, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the East with military invalids. She sailed from Scutari March 29, and Malta April 14. She brought 121 sol dier invalids, from upwards of 50 different regiments, 6 women, and 2 children • Ensign Berridge, of her Ma jesty's 4th Regiment, and Assistant-Surgeon Youell, of the 54th, came home in charge of them. She had 11 deaths on the voyage. She was towed into Portsmouth harbour at 5 o'clock last evening to land her worst cases for hospital. The rest will be landed, probably, this morning, and sent on to Chatham, or elsewhere, as the military authorities may direct. The sailing transport Canterbury, Capt. Carvell, alSo arrived at Spithead yes terday morning from the East. She sailed from Scutari on the Ist of March, Malta the 28th, and Gibraltar April 14, with 164 invalids, and 19 women, from vari ous regiments : six deaths occurred on the passage. The following officers also came home in the Canterbury : Capt. R. M. Murchison, of her Majesty's 50th Regiment, in charge of invalids ; and Assistant-Surgeon J. H. Jephson in charge ; Lieut. Edgar S. Disney, the 7th ; Ensign Thomas Vousden, of the 21st, who was shot through - the thigh with a rifle ball at the battle of Inker man. All these invalids progressed well on the voy- age. The sentence of the court-martial, recently held on board her Majesty's ship Waterloo, Commodore C. Wyvill president, to try the deltic in charge (Acting Paymaster) of the Alban, for malappropriation of money drawn by him for ship's use,. was that the prisoner be imprisoned in the County Gaol at Maidstone, for three calendar months, and at the expiration of that term that he be dismissed from her Majesty's service. Mr. W. W. Hayward presided as Deputy-Judge-Ad vocate. Preparations are being made at Sheerness for trial of the officers of the Enterprise by courts-martial oncharges brought against them by Captain Collinson of that ship, which has been sent round from Portsmouth for the pur pose. The Pylades screw steam-corvette, and the Volcano paddle-wheel steam-vessel, in company with the gun boats Redwing, Starling, Thistle, and Badger, got up steam yesterday at 10 a.m., and took their departure from the Noce for the Baltic, with a fine breeze blowing from S.W., moderate, and clear weather. The Royal mail steam-ship Medway, Capt. Woloward, which put back on Thursday in consequence of a slight derangement in her machinery, shortly after -leaving Southampton with a perfect field battery of Royal Ar tillery for Balaklava, sailed for her destination last ' night. It was thought, on the ship's return, that the trifling damage would have delayed the vessel only a few hours, but it was found necessary, in order to get at the part disarranged, which was one of the discharge pipes, to remove a large portion of the coals from that side of the ship. The Orinoco, Captain Wilson, also belonging to the West India Mail Company, will shortly resume her duties in the transport service. This fine vessel is now under orders to convey horses, and her spacious decks will provide room for the erection of 260 stalls. Government requiring her services by the Ist of June, the officials of the company at Southampton are ener getically engaged in prosecuting the completion of the ship, and so rapidly are the works being proceeded with that there is little doubt that the Orinoco will be ready for sea by the specified time. Thy Orinoco since her re turn from the Black Sea, where she was engaged for some considerable time in the conveyance of troops, has undergone a thorough repair, and when completed there will be no portion of the ship which will not have received an entire overhauling. Her gigantic paddle-wheels Lave been reduced four feet in diameter, and the speed of the vessel-is expected to be thereby increased. RAILWAY INTELLIGE'NC'E'. SOUTH WALES.

ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM MITTEE.' ( Continued from our first impression of yesterday.) The examination of Lord Hardinge continued—The Commander-in-Chief of forces out of the country re ported home to the Government, and in the event of the non-professional persons forming the Cabinet differing from his opinions, and if he acted on their instructions he would not of course be responsible for the result ; he, however, conferred with the Government and gave them his opinion on military matters ; he was answerable as Commander-in-Chief for the organisation and composi tion of the army, the medical arrangements, accoutre ments for the cavalry and infantry, and the transport service in this country. When abroad it came under the Commissariat Department, with the assistance of the Commander-in-Chi e f of the troops. Nothing 63 so bad and weakening to an army as its having to under go a long sea voyage. The duty of the Adjutant-General was to look after the disciplin e of the camp, and the Qeartermaster•General the movements of the camp, and they both gave orders in their separate departments to the Commissariat. In February and May, 1854, 10,000 troops were ordered off for the first expedition, and very shortly after they were augmented to nearly 25,000, which was to be their proportion for the East, and on that he made arrangements accordingly for au... menting his resources. The first reserve forwarded was seven battalions under General Cathcart, con sisting of 6,000 men, who, instead of remaining at Varna, went on to the Crimea, and was at the battle of Alma. All will agree it was wise to have 6,000 Additional men at Alma. People will talk of the propriety of having reserves, but we have always found it advisable to fight as many men as possible upon a given point. The Duke of Wellington at Assaye detached Colonel Stephenson with 6,000 men, and only left 5,000 with himself. Thus he had to fight a battle with half his force. Never after that did the Duke repeat the mistake, and in his subsequent career he always brought the largest possible force to attack the enemy. The second reserve of 6,500 men was forwarded after the battle of Inkerman, and 9,008 more by the end of December, amounting in the whole to 21,508, being as near as possible the number of troops he had to provide; so that, notwithstanding the deaths at Varna and at Balaklava, up to the end of December, the force he had provided was equal to the force that first went out, and, including the artillery, rather stronger. The peace esta blishment being low after he had sent out 25,000 troops, be could do no other than send out young recruits, who, instead of being composed of bone and muscle, were only gristle ; and the difference between the state of the army in 1808 and that in the Crimea was, that they had at the former period, in addition to a large regnlar force, a militia raised to a high state of efficiency,--the men being from 35 to 40 years of age—from which to draw reserves, and who were capable of undertaking hard work—a very different class from the raw recruits of 19 years of age, whom it was impossible to expect could withstand the hard work and resist the climate of the Crimea, to the same extent the men did in 1808. He thought the Duke of Newcastle acted wisely in bring ing home the 9 or 10 battalions from the Colonies who were used as reserves, and explained the reason why the troops were not sent home from the Cape when sent for from some misunderstanding arising as to the orders for warded. He then entered into the effect of increasing the army by high bounties bad on the service, giving it as his opinion that it was the cause of increasing de sertion. Out of 1,000 men he found not above 20 volunteered from the Militia. He considered the artillery was equal to, if not better than any other artillery, and added that everything was done that was necessary for the army to take the field in the Crimea. His lordship then entered into the communication forwarded by Dr. A. Smith to the Horse-Guards, respecting the clothing, his replies thereto, and produced to the committee a sample of the articles supplied to the men, and gave it as his opinion that he had always considered the clothing of our troops defective. He thought that when a military hospital was organised there should be a mi litary commandant at its head to whom persons could apply in case of necessity, and who could be held re sponsible for the comforts of the patients. He was of opinion a person of higher rank and influence than Major Sillery should have been placed over the hospitals at Scutari, and if Lord Raglan could not have spared one for one to have been sent from this country as wee afterwards done. The Chairman—Were not the hospitals under Lord Raglan's command ? Lord Hardinge—They were under his command, but at the same time the reports made•to him did not give such a true account of their state as they ought to have done, and Lord Raglan was too far from the spot to attend to their condition himself. The Chairman—Then that is to say that Lord Raglan received untrue reports ? Lord Hardinge—l don't say that. My opinion is that Lord Raglan did not receive sufficient information. The Chairman—lt appears that Lord Raglan sent Dr. Hall to Scutari, to report on the state of the hospitals. The report he sent in was that everything was in capital order. Lord Ffardinge—l don't blame Lord Raglan. The Chairman—l don't blame Lord Raglan. I blame Dr. Hall. I want to know if there has been any in quiry instituted into Dr. Hall's conduct for making that report! Lord Hardinge—l am not aware. The Chairman—Whose duty was it to have instituted such an inquiry I Lord Hardinge—l should say Lord Raglan. But this is asking my opinion on points on which I scarcely tbink--:---- The Chairman—l am not asking your opinion, but I want information as to the mode of proceeding with re gard to the army, and on whom the responsibility in Such'matters would fall. My desire is to ascertain who is the proper person. Lord Hardinge—lf, according tr) your account, Dr. Hall made a report which was not justified by the state of the hospitals, I should say he was responsible. The Chairman—Well, then, has any inquiry been made into the conduct of Dr. Hall ? Lord Hardinge—T am not aware. Mr. Roebuck—Mr. Sidney Herbert in his evidence yesterday stated that he wrote to the persons in the command of the hospitals at Scutari, he being Secretary at War, and I wish to ask you whether it is your opi nion that any benefit to the public service arose from that interference, and whether the commandant at Scutari was under the command of Lord Raglan ? Lord Hardinge—l believe that Mr. Sidney Herbert was right in doing as he did. The Chairman—Then you think his interference was beneficial to the public service I Lord Hardinge—Undoubtedly he was a Cabinet Minister, and was in direct communication with the Duke of Newcastle. I think what he did was quite jus tifiable. Not only the act itself, but its effect was pro ductive of good. All the attempts on the part of Mr. Sidney Herbert to relieve the sufferers in the hospitals at Scutari were not only highly praiseworthy, but were productive of great good. The hospital was really under Lord Raglan's command, but he was a long distance from it, and engaged in the field. If his suspicions as to the state of the hospital bad been lulled by the report from Dr. Hall, it was not likely he would send a second per-on to inquire. The Chairman—Did the Government or the Cabinet consult you on their Military operations ? Lord Hardinge — Yes. The Duke of Newcastle sent for me, and I had free communication with him. I drew up no general plan for operations in the Crimea, as Lord Raglan was placed in a very difficult position, and was not his ow❑ master, as he was acting in concert with the allies. The despatches received by the Duke of New castle were shown to me, and I made suggestions to him when I thought they were required. I think it was right in the army going from Varna to the Crimea, f ,, r when an ariny was in disease nothing was more desirable ' than a change to bring them back to a good condition. I heard of the disasters of the sick in the hospitals at Scutari. I did not correspond with Lord Raglan upon them. By General Peel—He had a very high opinion of Dr. A. Smith, and considered him a very faithful and good servant. By Sir J. Pakington --The huts were sent out late in the year. He spoke to Sir Frederick Smith about the huts they were going to erect at Aldershot, and gave it as his opinion that, as the huts were all blown down by the gale of the 14th November, those for the Crimea should be constructed of stronger materials. By Lord Seymour—He was not, at the time it was proposed to send out huts to Balaklava, aware of the state of the road leading to the camp ; but he afterwards heard that 500 Turks had been set to work to improve it, but they made but little progress. Commissary General Filder (as understood) was for some time con fined to his bed, and that delayed some progress being made in the road. If the commissary general was called upon suddenly to supply huts for the use of a large num ber of men, it was one of those misfortunes of war caused by having only asea communication, and there would be a great difficulty in supplying them. They had a regula tion as to thenecessaries that would be required for a cer tain number of men, and according to the number, whether it was 100 or 1000, a proper supply of stores and camp necessaries were put on board. They not only sent out all the stores required by the forms of the service, but they also formed a depot. The system was to place all military stores under the command of the st(s quarter master-general. No stores from the quarterm a department were issued without the order of the ow quar termaster-general, what and he must of course ol n went out. Certain forms were req d ui7 f d th f quartermaster-general's stores, an b ornmande or dispense with in-chief had full power to alter the found any difficulty in respect to them t er•ektbbeaidssubeeeonf been felt through the nature o least there ought to have forms altogether.

With respect t the valises carried by the cavalry soldiers he considered them to be too heavy. By Colonel Lindsay—He was of opinion that the military stores should be kept separate from the com missariat. By Mr. Ellice—lf they bad sen t out double tents, with double tanks, it would have given them. strength against storms. This concluded Lord Hardinge's evidence. Dr. Mapleton, who proceeded to the East in the capa city of private physician to Lord Raglan, was next called. He said he t-aw the general hospital at Scutari in May, 1854. It was then partly in the occupation of the Turks, but there were some English patients there. He saw the hospitals again after the expedition had left - Varna, and was himself indisposed and c on fi ne d in the barrack hospital for' several days. The bar rack patients were at that time much in the same state as has been described by different persons subse quent to that period. He did not think anything was done to remedy this state of things. Lord. Raglan him self was at first in command there. He considered that the troops were sickly at Varna, and in this opinion the food supplied to them was bad. The bread in particular was bad, and be represented the matter to Lord Raglan, who empowered him to take every means to remedy the evil. The bread was sour and was much calculated to predispose the troops to bowel complaints, which were folloWed up in almost all cases . by cholera. Many different opinions were entertained by officers and medical men in the army relative to the bread. Many of them did not dislike it, or consider it improper ; but, in his opinion, such bread must conduce to bowel complaint.. The subject was represented to Commissary- General Filder, and the bread afterwards improved. The meat was indifferent,'as it was impossible to get good meat in Turkey. With regard to the clothing be did not stock said at on think it was what it ought to have been, and he the ila te rd aVer ehad Leathern pre.ent in use in the army—particularly in its quit that e s concu r red nbsub j ect. He in e all approvedtha tL of o rd adapta tion to hot climates, because it did not absorb the perspiration, and when taken off at night the wear er was less likely to catch cold. With regard to the sick and wounded he recommended that every single man who became unwell should be sent home to Eng land, and not left there. If this, and his other recommendations, bad been carried out, he was convinced much savinc of life would have resulted. He Was not favourable to an hospital at Smyrna. He'thought the climate was prejudicial to health. He was acquainted with Smyrna, and did not approve pf the place for an hospital. He did not approve of the tents used in the army. Re thought tents of the description used in -Upper Scinde would have been far better adapted to the facs o t ro a m te i iithoreyopurpose there, an d far more healthy. &t the time he left the a rmy he did not consider it was at all in a satis factory adjourned shortly before four o'clock until Monday. THE LOSS OF THE JOHN. FALMOUTH, May 9, 10 p.m.—Up to the present time about 80 corp , es have been washed on shore in the im mediate vicinity of the wreck. Owing to the change of wind the vessel has not entirely broken up, as was anti cipated from the state of the weather on Saturday last. She appears to have parted just abaft the foremast, which still remains entire. The Government steamer Avon, which had been de spatched from Plymouth for that purp )se, left Coverack to return to that port with such passengers as wished to avail themselves of the opportunity. 'Captain Robert son, R.N., from the Board of Trade, has arrived here to investigate the circumstances connected with this calamitous event, and the examination on oath of the crew and pa.ssengers commenced in the Town-hall here at two o'clock this afternoon, before a numerous bench of o-unty magistrates. The evidence of William Goodwin, the chief mate, was to the effect that they left Plymouth, with moderate weather and wind from the northrard, between 2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday last. He turned in at a-quarter before 9 o'clock, and shortly after passing the Deadman, at a distance of four or five miles, 1 up to which time he did not observe any material alteration in either the wind or weather, the course , steered being W.S.W., he was awoke from sleep by the ship striking violently on a rock. He immediately went i on deck, he being then told that the ship had run ! against the Manacle Rocks. He supposed it was about 10 o'clock. The weather was hazy, and he did not see the Falmouth Light. Found the master, boatswain, i and an d a c h n i l u d i rnebne,roonf deck.pa s sen g Theers, c(m vesselsis ti s o c r em of f u m r g en e d , women, . herself •, off, and they endeavoured to run her towards the shore, but found the rudder was gone. After running for .the I land for about three-quarters of a mile they dropped as , anchor, and the master gave orders for the boats to be lowered. The quarter-boat was first got out, and some of the crew jumped into her. The deponent soon after lost sight of her. The life-boat was then attempted to be got out, but was stove and rendered useless. They then tried the long-boat, but the state of the tide pre vented its being launched, and remained hanging to the tackles. They hal another boat, a pinnace, on board, but deponent did not know what became of her. In smooth water the boats would have accommodated about 95 persot.s. When the anchor was dropped the vessel was full of water. She grounded in about 30 feet with a flowing tide. The passengers got on the house on deck, the poop-deck. and in the rigging,. Those on the poop were all washed away as the tide rose. During the night a great many were washed out of the shrouds and drowned. Deponent got from the house to the main Elliott, able s e abuio aatlaat,iitsnott'e:relw,solaiciesi,cir.mdnnee rigging. After daylight boats came alongside from the shore and took off the, surviving passengers. Deponent cense on shore in the last boat at about 6 o'clock. Tle master left at the same time in another boat. One man was then in the mizee and two in the maw rigging. The crew consisted of 19 in all. They are saved. Did not consider himself responsible for the vessel's course while the master was 00 deck, and is not aware tl - as; the master left. Received no orders from the captain, and gave none to the boatswain. After the vessel settle I down the water never left the deck. Those on board were in the water all the time they wer c e aT h rir i i ) it i , s d tin a g st o rc u m t g the boats. Has no certificate of competency, but one of service. They made sail after being towed outside the Breakwater by a steam-tug, and deponent remained on deck till half-past 8 or 9 o'clock. At 8 o'clock the boatswain relieved him. The vessel was then off the Deadman, and the wind a little abaft the beam. The first boat from shore came to their assistance at about half-past three o'clock, up to which time they were powerless. There was a great confusion of the boats alongside, but the captain gave orders collectedly, and deponent did not see him get into one of the first boats. If the ship's boats had been safely got out a great many must have been saved. Had been mate before, though for the first time with Capt. Rawle, whom he considered to be a sober man. Cannot account and 9 o'clock, He saw none of thyewobctafhritonceefhlwi for the vessel's getting on shore. They had neither guns, muskets, bluelights, nor rockets on board, and the only signal that could be made was a light in the rigging. If the boats from the shore had arrived earlier more would have been saved. He did not look at the compass during his watch. There was a light there between 8 order, examined, and second a.ca assisting t drt e e j a t t aco? s e i gn a oe, . passen gers, They were all sober, as far as he knew.
