T. Mr. Bright—Captain Taylor had been knocked down
by a wave when I saw him lying on the deck.
To Mr. Mellor-1 saw Captain Taylor knocked down
three or lour times. Everyone en deck was knocked
down in the same manner. I went on deck to see
the Great Eastern. I near beard it raggested by any one
to Captain Taylor that he should tarn Usk or go into an
harbour. It wee very kW when we were off Holyhead,
sad it strata a all that day that we were going eery slowly.
We were hseting about Heiyheed the greater pert etthe day.
A_ iptoe Tuesday, peevirmity to the accident, I did not sea
Taylor on deck. I saw him onos In the saloon.
Thy was, I think, about half-past 3 or 4 in the
morning, but I memo. say. That was the time he cams
below to say ell was wall. That was on the Wednesday
morning I think, bat lam not sure. I did not see him on
Tweeter, bat he never Mud at my end of the ashes.
I saw two rockets let eff, I believe about half-past 7 In the
main. I watiewlmed these to be signals for pilots. At
one time blame the atiekket we were ordered down into the
kwr salsa% is order that one of the mama might be cut
down. I dun% know who gave the order. There was a
general cry of down." All the pamengers west deem.
Another meet was eat down when the passengers wars ea
deck. I deal know whether there was or not any Impe-
diment to the ship big steered out to sea at the time the
port anchor was let down. I saver had any onvereatioa
with Captain William about the ship.
To Mr. Mellor—l heed Captain Withers say ogee or
twice daring the voyage that thin was some Meshy In

were from shore when the drat anchor was lat go. One

the time the anchors were let go. I did not hear the captain
speak while ht was walking up and down. He appeared to
be watching. He appeared to me to be perfectly sober, fur

Examination by Mr. Mellor rammed—When off Holyhead
'we saw the Great Emmen, but very indistinctly. This was
on account of the distance sad of the thickness of the
weather. It was not very thick. I cannot sty it was very
hazy. It wee not dark before we were off Holyhised. The
=Ms were cut after the anchors were broken from their
moorings. I have no ides how soon after. The mainmast
was cat away before the ship struck on the rock. Captain
Withers, Captain Adams, sad Captain Taylor consulted to-
her. I know that bemuse Mr. Crootne, the
fourth °dicer, came to the second cabin and took
Captain Adams from my side to the consultation.
Croome told Adams that Captain Withers was with Csptsin
Taylor, and that they were welting for him to consult
together as to the betimes= of saving the ship. This was
before the mainmast was cut away, and alter the anchors
had parted. There were two guns on board. Botts were
used for signals. The weather gun wee full of salt water the
last time they went to charge It. She ceased to use the screw
when she was hard sad fast. She was lying for about half
an hour neer the rocks before she struck. She was lying on
the sand from half-put !Ivo o'clock. No rocket was fired to
the shore to carry a rope or anything else. I never sew any
mortar on board far firths shells. It wasao dark from half-
past ties to six o'clock that we could not me. I saw no pee-
=rotten, on board between half-past five end eta o'clock for
putting the passengers on shore ; bat I paw some of the
passengers with life balm on and others putting them
on at that time. I know of no light being shown from
the ship's deck between half-peat 6 and 6 o'clock. I d
think I wee on deck during that time. Previously to half-
past 6, I had teen a globe light at the telegraph, which com-
municated with the engise.room. I remarked it, because I
had never seen a light there before. It was a globe light.
Rockets and bine lights were tired of at Intervals daring the
whole night.

Mr. Meßoe mid it might be • convenience to the coroner
and the owners of the *hip if he announcid that he altunkl
confine himself to endeavouring to aacertain what wee the

[Tie inquiry wu then adjourned for half in hour, in our

The divers had tenoned, up to Wednesday night, about
5001. worth of copper. They continued their work on Thurs-
day (yesterday) morning, who one of the divers was en-
gaged in bringing up more copper, whilet the ether was
inspecting the different pinions of the ship which remain
at the bottom.

The balk of the bodies which have been recovered have
been buried in Lianallgo chtur.byard.

As some very inaccurate particulars have been published
of the melancholy fate of the Rev. Charles Vere Hodge, who
was a paeoenger from New Zealand by the Royal Charter,
we publish the following particulars gleaned from a local
correspondent:—The rev. gen:letnan was appoined to the
vicarage of Clereborough in 1344, and shortly afterwards his
wife, from some unsettled disposition, plopoesi to visit 'erne
distant relation in New Zadand. Notwithstanding all the
ressonetrances of her husband, abe proceeded to the an-
tipodes without • guide, mucks, or friend. After re-
, 'mining some years there, ohs returned to this country,
I and again took up ism residence with her husband and
children, of wham she wee Me mother of trm—seven
sone end three daughters. She, however, could not
rest lung In this country, and ultimately persuaded
her husband sad port of her family to accompany her to New
Zealand. Fur this purpose the rev. gentleman applied to
sad obtained leave of absence from the biebop of his diocese
for two yeses, but, at the expiration of that period, not re-
fereeing, a monition was issued for his immediate return to
his cure. It was in obedience to this mandate that the rev.
gentleman woe reurning in the loyal Chatter, when he met
his melancholy fate. Mr. Hodge left behind bite In New
Zealand his wife sad thrse sone. Three sons and one
daughter aremt present in England, the others having died
is infancy. Mr. Hodge's only brother. the Rev, Henry
Vern Hodge, M.A., perish's"l carte of Middl:ton, near
Tamworth, Mat present engaged In the melanch,ly duty of
watching the shore in the immediate neighbourhood cf the
wreck, reeking to recognise the person of the deceased. Mr.
Hodge was universally reepe-end end held in high esteem by
hie parishioners far his deep-rooted pasty and sincerity in all
things.
