Lord Colville said lie should, with the iverntiudou of their
lordships, put two or three questions which had been put
before, bat not answered patisfarttoily.

tautly for doing so ; there was ou regular funnel 1.. take
way the smoke, as in a 111.10 of war, but holes picaced is
a piece of lead, which did not admit sufficient air.
You staled early yesterday, that you were employs d to

apprehended from piratical vessels hovering about I had
not ilie titling top of the Alp, earept for the use of her Itnyal
!foghorn, and I did nut 'mow whether she wished to have it
done or nut.

Who kept the reckoning? I kept then ckouing myself;

Captain repeated them to the sisbordinate Quartermaste's.
You having been charged with the navigation of the ship,
how do you explain your having .aid that the filling tin of
Use binnacle was a trifling matter? I mean to ►ay that the
charge of the ship wa. not given to sue till I left Augusts,
and I did not observe the 'terse of the binnacle sold the
repot ta of the pirates. These were two Captains on board
the polscre.

the teat was about • foot less. The binnacle stood abaft
the mizen-mast. lie was to be aislicsicionl to say, that
the wlwle of the inside of the tent was su illnmineil
by the light ft the binnacle, that by lifting up
