Nunnery cut out the work at a good pace, followed by Lady
Peel, the Grasshopper colt, and Harmony to the turn into
the straight, where Liberality joined them, and the lot ran
in close company to the distance, where Nunnery, with
Lady Peel and Haddington, came on together, the former
having still the lead, which she maintained to the stand,
where Haddington was disposed of, leaving the two to finish
the race home, Nunnery winning, with nothing to spare, by
a head ; four lengths between the second and third ; Libe-
rality was fourth ; the others beaten off. On returning to
scale an objection was raised to the winner on the grounds
of a jostle, which was investigated by the stewards, and the
race awarded to Nunnery.

Wynnstay, Voltella, sad Balham, the others running ex-
tr....oly avian, lying some longthc in the rear, Wallace, Blue
Jacket, and Underhand being the last three. On rounding
the first turn Squire Peirse was passed by King of Dia-
monds, who, in company with Wynnstay, Voltella, Balham,
and Jingling Johnny, went on with the running at an in-
ct eased pace, the rear division still being some distance be-
hind, and in which way they proceeded along the far side,
and to the Woodside, where the rearward horses began to
get upon better terms. Nearing the Red-house the pace
slackened, enabling them to close up, and on rounding the
turn for home King of Diamonds was still seen in front,
with Jingling Johnny, Balham, and Voltella laying close
up, Wallace, Underhand, and Blue Jacket next the rails,
being the next lot. Half way in the distance King of Dia-
monds was beaten, leaving Wynnstay with the lead, but

THE LOSS OF THE STEAM SHIP
UNITED STATES.

OFFICIAL REPORT.

The following report has been forwarded to the
Privy Council for Trade by the magistrates who
held the inquiry into the loss of the steam ship
United States:—

My Lords,—ln obedience to your lordships' direc-
tions, we, the undersigned, two of her Majesty's
justices of the peace for Lanarkshire, assisted by
Capt. Harris, the Nautical Assessor of the Board of
Trade, have held a formal inquiry into the circum-
stances attending the loss of the steam ship United
States upon the Bird Rocks, in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence, on the evening of the 25th of April last.
We beg to report that the United States was an
iron screw steamer, built at Partick, near Glasgow,
and registered at Glasgow in the year 1860. By
her certificate of registry she appears to have been
the property of several parties, of whom the master,
William Meiklereid, held 1-64th, and Messrs. Han-
dyside and Henderson, holding 40-64ths, acted as
managing owners. The United States was of the
burthen of 1,197 tons; the crew consisted of 49
persons, exc:usive of her master. She had also on
board 9 saloon and 78 steerage passengers, and a
cargo of about 600 tons, a moiety of which was bar
iron and the remainder measurement goods. The
United States left the Clyde, bound to Quebec and
Montreal, on the night of the 13th of April, under
the command of Mr. William Meiklereid, who holds
a certificate of competency as master, dated the
16th of November, 1857. After a favourable pas-
sage across the Atlantic, at 3 o'clock p.m. on the
24th of April, Cape Ray, at the entrance of the
Gulf of St. Lawrence, was made, bearing E. by E.
E., and the computed distance was 27 miles. At
7.30 p.m. St. Paul's Island was seen, and at 9
o'clock p.m. the Northern Lighthouse upon it bore
S. 2 E. (true), and the distance from it was esti-
mated at 18 miles. From this position a course
was. shaped N. by W. W. At this time the
master went below, leaving instructions to be called
at 1 o'clock a.m., or before, if any change of wea-
ther took place. The ship was under full steam,
with all plain sail and lower and topmast studding-
sails set, going about 11 knots an hour. The wea-
ther was clear, with a fine fresh breeze, and the moon
was up. During the night nothing of moment oc-
curred ; the weather continued fine, and at 1 o'clock
a.m. Dumbreck, the second mate (then officer of the
watch), called the master, who desired him to keep
a sharp look-out for the Bird Rocks, as they might
shortly expect to see them on the port bow ; and, if
seen, to pass them on the starboard side. In about
20 minutes the mate discovered them about two
points on the starboard bow, at a distance, as he com-
putes, of five or six miles. He immediately put the
helm a-port ; the ship went off four or five points,
bringing the wind on the starboard quarter. He then
ran below, and told the master that the islands were
in sight, and that he had altered the course, as pre-
viously directed. The captain followed the mate on
deck and took charge. Shortly afterwards he ordered
the helm to be put starboard, and the ship's head was
brought towards the land. After the lapse of some
minutes the helm was again ported, and in the act of
goingoff the ship struck. This occurred a few minutes
after 2 o'clock a.m. Such are briefly the facts elicited
by the evidence of the witnesses. It appears to me (sic
in orig.) that the loss of this new and valuable ship
can only be attributed to an injudicious attempt to
round the Bird Rocks too closely. This proceeding
on the part of the master was the less excusable, as
the whole Gulf of St. Lawrence, 78 miles in width
between the Bird Rocks and the Island of Anticosti,
was open. It should also be observed that the Bird
Islands were perfectly visible, the night clear, the
wind moderate, and fair for Quebec; and further,
that from the time that the islands were first seen till
the subsequent loss of the ship no bearings were
taken ; neither when passing these dangers were the
engines slowed or soundings obtained. The ship
was navigated by Laurie's chart of 1857. This chart
contains a caution to the effect that "in entering the
Gulf of St. Lawrence with a S.E. wind (the quarter
from which the wind actually blew), a westerly
current might be expected." This, however, ap-
pears to have been disregarded, and it may account
for the fact of the Bird Islands having been made on
the starboard instead of the port bow, as was ex-
pected. Again, we are not prepared to say that
the distance the ship was assumed to be from St.
Paul's Lighthouse, at 9 o'clock p.m.—viz., 18 miles
—was accurate; but, assuming this distance to have
been' correct, we are at a loss to discover either
the prudence or necessity of making the Bird
Islands at all with the whole width of the Gulf of
St. Lawrence open. The giving them a wide and
judicious berth, particularly at night, could only
have prolonged the voyage to a very inconsiderable
time. With these facts before us, we beg to report
that the loss of the United States is to be attributed
to a want of due caution, and therefore a grave de-
fault on the part of Mr. Meiklereid, her master;
and, in accordance with the 438th section of the
Merchant Shipping Act, we forward his certificate
of competency to the Board of Trade, to be dealt
with as their lordships may think fit. Having
thus performed a stern and painful duty, we would
wish to call your lordships' attention to the great
care the master had evinced on a former part of the
voyage, when placed in situations of difficulty, from
the prevalence of fog. This, coupled with his good
conduct after the wreck, the order and facility with
which his boats were launched, and the character
we have received of him as a careful seaman, may
induce your lordships to view this case with some
degree of leniency.—We have, &c.,
