under his control. As will be seen by the evidence, the
man threw himself overboard during the passage. The
fact came to the knowledge of the British consul at Charles-
ton, who, in consequence, addressed a letter to the late
Mr. Rushton on the subject. This communication was
placed in the hands of Mr. Superintendent Clough, who
directed a look-out to be kept for the Arabia, and as soon
as the vessel arrived, which w

Clough obtained information on the subject from the
crew. The Admiralty were made aware of the facts, and
ultimately a warrant for the apprehension of the captain
and the first and second mates was placed in the hands of
Kehoe, one of the inspectors of the detective department,
who left for Belfast on Thursday, for the purpose of ap-

Frederick Ellerby, a seaman, at present living in Ed-

Arabia, a British ship at Liverpool, for New York,
Charleston, and back to Liverpool. Wm. Hamilton Low-
rey was the captain ; Morrison was the first ana
Thomas M'Anally was the second mate. In addition to
the officers there were ten men on board. The vessel
left the dock here on the 9th of November lest, and re-
mained in the river during the night of that day. Two
"stowaways" were discovered at that time and were
immediately sent on shore. On the eleventh of the
same month, when the ship was in the Irish
channel another " stowaway" came upon deck. Witness

Michael Pye. The following morning this man was called
