THE LATE MELANCHOLY ACCI-
DENT AT SPITHEAD.
PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The'inquiry into the
circumstances attending the drowning of the persons
whose bodies were picked up at Spithead on Mon.
day afternoon by the Royal barge and the Gipsy
Custom-house cutter, was re-opened this afternoon
by Mr. W. J. Cooper, the coroner of this borough, at
the Isle of Wight Tavern, Bath-square.
Mr. Rolph, the surgeon in charge of the case, hai-
ing certified that Margaret Moore was well enough
to give evidence, she was called and deposed as fol.
lows :—I am a single woman, and reside at Elm-lane,
Kingston, Portsea. On Monday afternoon, about 2
4elock,l went from the Hard in a boat, in company
With Jane Beddel, my sister, and three other women,
with a view of going on board the Grampus frigate,
then lying out at Spithead, which arrived that morn-
ing from the Pacific. The names of the other women
who accompanied me in the boat from the Common
Hard, were Mrs. Waller (whose husband she ex-
pected to find on board the Grampus), Miss
I4urridge (who was engaged to be married ,to
a;young man on board the Grampus), of South
View, Portsea, Mrs. Beddel, my sister (whose
husband was on board the Grampus), Mrs. Warren
(Who was going to see her on board the
grampus), and myself, who had a brother-in-law in
the Grampus. We bad two boatmen, whom I do-
nat know. They hoisted sail directly we were in the .
boat. We agreed to pay the rough weather fare, 10s.,
for our hire of the boat. I told the waterman before
we got out of harbour I thought we were in great
danger. The gale was blowing very hard, and the
waves were very heavy. They ridiculed the idea of
there being danger, and said there was none. I had
not been much accustomed to the water. All the
other women partook of my fear, and thought they
shpuld not return to harbour any more if they pro-
ceeded. We made no particular request to the water-
men to return, but proceeded towards Spithead.
When about half-way there one of the men got up
to loosen the sail, when a very heavy sea rolled over
the boat. He told us to sit still, and we did so. IVe
heard the salute firing from the ships at Spithead, on
the approach of the Queen in the Fairy. Before the
boatman could shift the sail from the side where it
had been made fast to the other side of the boat, she
capsized in a squall of wind, and we were suddenly
precipitated into the sea. I lost all consciousness,
and I know nothing more.
By the Foreman—Two of the women were seated
in ;the upper seat, two on one side and one on the
other, and one waterman on each side ; or, in other
terms, four to windward and four to leeward. As
we went out to Spithead we felt more and more alarm '
as the danger became more apparent. Our positions
were not altered in the boat from the time when we
left the Common Hard.
3y the Jury—l did not observe whether the water-
map who was not steering held the sheet by his hand
or not. I expreSsed a wish to put back, but not to
the. waterman. I never beard either waterman say

but he refused. I was quite sensible all the time I
was in the water, as I had a plank belonging to the
boat which 'I supported myself by. The boat did not
go to pieces. I think I was in the water about three-
quarters of an hour. I saw once the bonnet of one
of my companions, and grasped it, but a wave came
and dashed it out of my hand.
Mr. Thomas ' Whitty, tide surveyor of Customs,
Portsmouth, was next called and deposed to the par-
ticulars, fully described in The Sun of Tuesday, in
which that gentleman so nobly distinguished himself.
