water. He states that the military officers, with Major
Seton, of the 47th, were in attendance on the captain,
and had sent the soldiers to the pumps as ordered;
that all hands were steady and obeyed orders with ala-
crity until the last moment; that the ship struck twice;
the first shock stove in the bows and drowsed many
man forward; that the second shock broke the ship in
two. The men on the yard behaved with great coolness
and firmness; several swam to the shore on pieces of
spar, and about thirty in number reached the land. Mr.
Davis, second master, was officer of the watch; he was
picked up after being twelve hours clinging to the spars.

John Ashbolt, stoker, states that it was his watch in
the engine-room when the ship struck; that Mr. Kitch-
enman was engineer of the watch; the first order given
was to stop the engine, and shortly after to give a back
turn, which was done, and the engine made about eight
or ten revolutions and the ship struck again, the water
began to rush into the engine-room and put the fires
out; when the engines stopped he went on deck, the
ship broke in two, and he found himself picked up by
one of the cutters. William Chase, stoker, states the
same. The engineers were all in the engine-room.
