docment of the slip. About 9.30 on the evening of Friday,
the 12th October, according to the lug and the widows of
the master and Inn milte.--all differing in this respect from
the second mate, who, I think, wrongly makes the accident
to happen between 1 and 2 a.m. on Sunday, the 13th—a heavy
sea struck the ship, carried away the jibboom, and stove in
the berthing of the foresails bulwarks on the port side.
Immedithely before the accident the first mate sounded
the pumps, sad (Quad no water in the ship. During the
time they were clearing away the wreck of the jibboom the
chief mate set two unemployed lads to keep the pumps
jogging. The well had not at that time been sounded sines
the accident, and at 4 a.m., when the wreck had beers
cleared away, the ship was pumped dry. After this it I
would seem that there were one or two men generally kept,
at the pumps until the Ottilli• came in sight, when the
men refused to pump may longer. But on no occasion,
from the oxidant up to the aliandonmeth, were all hands
set to work at the pumps, nor woo the well ever sounded
by the muter before leaving the ship. It may he well to
mention that there were two pumps on board, side by lb, ,
that, the mainmast. One was a patent four-inch pump,
which the surveyor stated would not choke; the other
RAGA common woods one, six inches in diameter. On
Sunday, the 14th, some of the crew came aft early in the
minim end reload to pump. The master was informed'
I
of this, end he reassetrated with the men, and they west
bash to the pampa, and continued pumping, more or lees,
till Monday, when, as above mentioned, the Ottillia was.;
sigeelled. It does sot seem from the evidence that the 1
master or mate made any effort t• induce the crew to son-
Wiwi at the pumps after this time, though the master, so
late as breakfast time on Monday morning, apprehended no
immediate danger, and seemed to think that if the crew
could have be -u kept to the pumps, and the weather had
coatfnued moderate (which was the ease), they might
bye reached a port on the Irish soma early en Mon-
day morning. The muter and nab were by IRO MMas
unwilling to leave the veuel, the longboat was gth Only and
they proceeded on board of the Millis. Prevs to leav-
ing the versel the pipe of the water-cloth, which was about
18 niches above the waterline, was cut in order to sink her,
and so prevent collision with other ships. The master seems
to have had some doubt of the propriety of this proceed's&
as the mate in his evidence deposes to a oonvereation on the
subject between himself and the master and *wood mate,
but the mate remarked that the circumstance could oily be
known to the three then present. The pipe wee accordingly
out by the second mate, whilst the first mate started the
woodwork, the master being then in the longboat, when
they joined him after they had bee the work. The
only evidence that could be had as to the depth of water
in the vessel previous to leaving herb that of the
moth mate, or boatswain, who mays that at 10 a.m.
" the pmrp sucked," that he so reported to the muter, who
laird him to let her rest, and that at noon on Moodily he
mounded, sad found two feet in the well ; and after cutting
the water-cheet pipe, and just before getting into the boat,
he sounded, end found three feet. All the winsome"
say that no salt was pumped up, which must have been the
cam bad then been much water in her, when we consider
the sini of the vessel. the depth of her hold ill feet), and
the fart that the sale was stewed on the edam, with only
a mat intervening. This would seem to prove that there
could not have bees mach water in the vessel.

end • careful review of the evidence, that the Maggie Walker
