THE INQUEST

On Saturday an inquest took place at the Sessions
House, before P. F. Curry, Esq., on view of two of
the persons killed by the late collision, namely, John
Roche, aged 45, and Patrick Geoghan, also 45, both of
whom died at the Northern Hospital, the former on
Tuesday, and the latter on Friday.
Mr. John Askew, the south harbour -master ; Mr.
Cooke, the superintendent of pilots ; Mr. John Grantham,
consulting mechanical engineer, and a number of other
scientific gentlemen, were in court during the day.
Mr. harden, barrister, at-law, attended on behalf of the
captain and mate of the Sea Nymph ; and Mr. Myers, of
the firm of Lace, Myers, and Co., on behalf of the owners
of that ♦essel. Mr. Duncan and Mr. Hassal, solicitors,
appeared for the owners and captain of the Rambler.
Previously to the main investigation, an inqaest was
held on the body of a child, John M'Glone, who it was
reported bad been killed on board the Rambler. The
evidence, however, showed that he had died on board,
from natural causes, on the morning of the day of col-
lision, and a verdict was returned accordingly.
The inquiry as to the death of the two men named,
was then proceeded with. All the witnesses who had
been on board the vessels were ordered out of court. In
compliance with a request from Mr. Harden, who foresaw
that the inquest could not be concluded that day, and
who said he had important witnesses to bring up on
Monday, the coroner agreed to adjourn, at four o'clock
to that day.

Ellen .*Lean, a Widow, being called, said she left
Sligo on the previous Sunday, by the Rambler, being of
a party intending to emigrate to New York. The de-
ceased, P. Geoghan, was of the party. She described in
her way the collision on Monday night. Many persons
were killed and injured. The (Incased was badly hurt.
A boat came off and he was taken away. He was taken
to the Northern Hospital, where he died on Thursday
morning. The captain and mate of the Rambler did all
they could to save us after the collision took place. They
rang the bell, and put up their hands to keep us clear of
the side of the vessel.

Bryan Kelly, a provision dealer, who was on board the
same vessel, described the collision. It was twilight. He
heard the captain giving orders, and at length calling out
"stop her." In about two minutes after, she was struck
by the Sea Nymph. All on hoard was alarmed, and the
Sea Nymph turned quickly from them. The carpenter
said she was making water ; the captain cried " full
speed," and the vessel soon after grounded. Several of
the passengers were badly hurt, and amongst them the
deceased Roche, but witness could not tell how. It was
rather a dark night. Witness did not know if the Sea
Nymph bad lights, but the Rambler had. The captain
continued to give strict orders to the steersman and
sailors for twenty minutes prior to the collision.
By Mr. Hassan :—The captain gave orders for a mi-
nutes, and at last stamped his foot. Witness then called
out " starboard" several times. Did not hear the word
" port" called out by any one. The captain was on the
gangway over the engines. There was, no confusion on
deck prior to the collision, and the cattle were quiet.
The Rambler passed close to the Rock Light, and the
vessels she met passed her on the outsirle. The captain
gave his orders before they reached the Rock Light, and
they were continued up to the time of the collision. He
had a trumpet, and cried " starh.oard" several times.
Bernard Gallagher, a butcher, was passenger in the
same vessel, and knew the deceased, Roche. By the col-
lision, they were driven on the Cheshire bank, and the
vessel was much damaged, and several people much hurt.
He had since seen Roche dead at the hospital. He did
not hear the captain give orders, being below until imme-
diately before the collision took place.
Mr. Gildersleeves, house-surgeon of the hospital, spoke
to Roche being admitted early on Tuesday morning. He
was sensible, bat in a cold and lax state. Lie bad a frau-

ture-of the right leg, of both bones, also contusions all
over the body. He. died of collapse, owing to the shock
received -by the system. The other man, Geoghan, was
admitted at- the same time. He had a fracture of the
spine, which caused his death yesterday (Friday.)
Peter M'Farlane, second mate of the Rambler, Capt.
M'Allster.—The vessel was of about 250 horse-power.
She plied between Sligo, Glasgow, and Liverpool, with
passengers and cattle. There were upwards of 300 deck
passengers on board, about 600 pigs, and 14 head of cattle.
It was within an hour of high water when they reached
the Bell Buoy; they had a light at the funnel-head, and a
red light at the larboard, and a white one on the starboard
side of the vessel, in front of each paddle-box. That is
the usual quantity of lights, and the usual places for put-
ting them, on coming into Liverpool. We had a watch
forward ; the mate and two men were at the forecastle-
head from the time we passed the Bell Buoy ; the captain
was on the gangway between the paddle-boxes. He was
not three minutes there when he ordered the speaking..
trumpet to be brought, and it was brought to him. After
we had altered :our course to E.S.E. we continued that
course until weceme to the Rock light; we came up the
Rock channel ; we passed two steamers a little below the
Rock Licht; we rounded the Rock about a quarter-past
ten, as nearly as I-can recollect. I think we passed the
light about a breadth and a half of the Rambler off the
small buoy which lies off the Rock Light. Then the
helmsman steered her due south for about a minute, but
not by any orders of the captain ; and then he steered her
south half west. Shortly after this I heard the mate on
the forecastle-head report a steamer ahead. I observed
to the man at the wheel that I saw a smoke but no lights,
but, just in a moment after that, I saw her starboard
light and funnel light off our larboard side. I was then
looking over the larboard quarter. Directly after, I
saw her red light on our larboard side. Her starboard
light was about two points off our larboard bow. I said
to the helmsman that she was coming on towards us.
"Look out," said I. The helmsman replied, "We are
pretty close in to the Cheshire shore." We were pretty
close in at the time. I then lost sight of their red light
on the larboard side altogether. I heard our captain sing
out to " Port." That word was sung out to the helmsman.
I sung it out myself. The helmsman ported the helm-
, The next word from the gangway was " Port" again.
That was passed to the helmsman, and he ported a second
time. At this time I began to be frightened. In a mo-
ment or less the word from the gangway was " Hard-a-
port." I laid bold of the wheel myself, and called another
man to assist. There were three of us then putting the
vessel hard-a-port, and we were holding it so when the
_avaen the larboard bow. I did not
know what steamer it was at the time, but I ascertained it
afterwards. She cut us dovan to the water's edge, capsized
our windlass. and tore up the deck, There were a great
many of the passengers hurt, and some were killed on the
spot by the capsizing of the windlass and the quantity of
wooden and iron stuff which was flying about in all direc-
tions. The Sea Nymph, immediately after the collision,
backed away, and got clear of us. Our captain, on ending
that the Rambler was making water, ordered the enines
to be turned ahead, and she was run ashore on the Che-
shire coast. The passengers were then landed in boats,
some in Cheshire and some in Liverpool. I cannot say
whether, prior to the collision, any order was given to
stop our engines. There were so, many passengers on
board, and so much noise on the quarter, that it was im-
possible for me to hear.
The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Duncan, Mr.
Harden, and Mr. Myers ; after which John Hunter, the
chief mate of the Rambler, gave evidence corroborative of
that of the previous witness, end the inquest was ad-
journed a little before four to half-past nine yesterday
(Monday) morning.

ADJOURNED INQUEST-YESTERDAY

The inquest on the bodies of John Roche and Patrick
Geoghan was resumed yesterday morning.
On the names of the jury being called over, Mr. Richd-
Carter did not answer ; upon which the coroner said he
had received a medical certificate to the effect that he was
unable to attend, from the effects of an accident. As
there were fourteen jurymen without him, the coroner
apprehended that they could go on very well in his ab-
sence.

The first witness called was William Daniels, a licensed
pilot of the port of Liverpool. He said—l belong to No.
1 pilot-boat ; went on board the Rambler at about twenty
minutes after nine o'clock, on Monday, at about three
miles distance from the north-west light-ship. I took
charge of the vessel for the purpose of bringing her into
port. There were blowing light winds from W.N.W. It

the gangway between the two paddle-boxes. That is the
same ; and though in a narrow passage, we passed
clear by adopting that means. It was near the wharf
buoy. After these steamers had passed us, we came
round the Rock light; it was then about a quarter past
ten. We were about the length of the ship from the Rock
light when we passed it. 'We then ported our hlm and
esteered for the riprap buoy ; we kept close into the Ch-

. . .
shire shore, in two fathoms water, still porting our helm.
We came very close to the New Brighton stage, so close
that one might have jumped ashore. We then saw three
lights on our larboard bow, bearing about south-east; we
lost sight of the larboard light in a minute or so, but con-
tinued to see the others. I called out " port the helm "
twice, and after that I ordered the engine to be stopped-

in one half-minute if she had not struck us. If she had-
ported her helm she would have avoided us.
By Mr. Harden.—After I lost sight of the larboard
light of the other steamer, I never saw it again until the
vessels struck. I and the captain stood together, and both
of us saw the three lights; our attention was not called
to them by any one else. It is my duty to keep the lead
going after I take charge of the vessel. I could not go
nearer the shore ; we were in 12ft. water, and the vessel
drew mi. There was plenty of water to the eastward—
in fact, the whole river ; it wanted but an hour and four
minutes of high water. When the engine was ordered to
be stopped, they were near upon us, and they came to-
wards us at a great rate. When we rounded the Rock,
we were going through the water at about nine miles an.
hour. The tide ran about four miles an hour more ; but
where we were there was very little tide. The commands.
" port," " hard-a-port," and " stop the engine," fol-
lowed each other very quickly ; there was not half a mi-
nute betwixt them. Suppose I was taking a vessel out,.
I should not go so close in-shore, because the bank was
in ridges. I should not have gone so close in on this:
occasion but for the purpose of avoiding the other pat.
If the other packet had ported her helm for one half-.
minute, there would have been three or four cables' length
between the packets. Vessels going into port keep in-
shore, to take a sweep to get into dock. Seeing the mast-
head light and starboard only, I could tell she was com-
ing towards the Cheshire shore. That was not a fit course
to steer for a vessel from the Clarence Dock Ong out to
sea. When we saw the three lights, she was going in a
right direction ; when we lost sight of the larboard light,
she must have been putting her helm a-starbcard.
By Mr. Duncan.—The reason we kept so near the
Cheshire coast was to take a sweep to get into the dock;
and that was the usual course unless the ti :le had turned.
The rip-raps are close to New Brighton ; and it was there
where we first saw the lights on our larboard bow, bearing
southeast ; we then ported our helm, and continued to
keep close in, to give them all the room Icould. We were,
too close in, and should not have been so close but for the
purpose of making more room ; the orders of the Trinity
Board being, that steamers passing each other should port
their helms. When we first saw the three lights she was
about a mile off, though I could not judge so accurately
by night as I might have done by day. We continued to
port as much as we could after we passed the ripraps.
The order to stop the engines was given about a-couple--
of minutes, or scarcely that, before the collision took
place. No order was given to reverse the engines; there
was not time. I was knocked down, and the %%Ind was
knocked out of me. When I recovered, I and the cap-
tain in a breath ordered the engines to goon a-head as
fast as possible, to ground her.
Mr. Harden.—You tell us that you first of all saw two
lights, and then three; then, if any person standing in the,
position in which lon were has said that he first saw two
lights and then three lights, that person has_said what is
not true ?

Witness—Yes.

Mr. Duncan.—lf any person standing: at the wheel
looks over the larboard quarter past the.paddle-box, and.
says he saw two lights, and then three, that might be true.
Witness.—Yes ; it might.

William Jones, one of the seamen on board the Ram•
bier, was next sworn. Ile said—l took command of the
helm of the N.W. light-ship. The pilot, who was taken.
on board soon afterwards, directed the steering of her.
In steering for the Rock, we paised two steamers on cur
larboard aUe. We went so near the Rock light that the
vessel could hardly get clear of it.. The reason was, that
we had been previously porting our helm to make _roam
for those two steamers. We passed close to the Newt
Brighton stage. After rounding the rip-rap boy, we,
kept very close to the Cheshire shore. After.pas-

Proprietress of the only Genuine WIDOW WELCH'S
FEMALE PlLLS.—Madam,—Susan Smith, of Baumber wishes
me to write to acknowledge your kindness for the two Boxes of
Pills. She is .now in her twentieth year, and has been for the
last six years in a very delicate state of health ; she has had the
best Medical advice that could be suggested, and the benefit of
the Dispensary, but all to no avail, and given up as incurable,
supposing her complaint would terminate in consumption.
She heard of the many virtues of your Female Pills, and sent to
my shop for a box, which gave her relief; she tried another
box and continued recovering : as she could not afford more,
she wished me to write you, and the two boxes you had the
kindness to forward, has effected a total cure. She is now in
good health and capable of engaging a situation in servitude.
She wishes me further to state, that she cannot sufficiently ac_
knowledge her gratitude.

Having.been informed of the surprising cure of Mr.
Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted
by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was

compelled to be confined by n strait waistcoat to prevent his
committing any violence, and whose case was considered en-
tirely. hopeless, I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and
being satisfied of the truth of my information, encouraged me
to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining
little hopes of success, having been many years so severe a suf-
ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam
very happy in being able to add my testimony of the benefit
I derived : after a few days' application the use of my limbs are
perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business,
nd, making an allowance for my age, never was better in my
life. To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless their
case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial,
feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their
limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Medicine.
Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to
hose who are deprived, none feels it so severely as the trades-
man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and
brings ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to
make it known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am
for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly,

Well-street, Cripplegate.
tt,—l have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout
and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from
pain, Etudes helpless as an infant: not even a finger could I
move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me-
dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that
I might remain months in my deplorable situation.
Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might
have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli-
cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis-
appear in a week I was capable of walking about my room,
